  1. i'm just trying to understand why. keep in mind, i'm an old guy who listened to b&e basically my entire adult life when i commuted to work. i still listen to the mornings with matt and bob show on podcast, because i want all the content without the wrappings or music and commercials. how they haven't been able to monetize that is beyond me. but i'm also a market analyst whose job is to give advice on business models and strategies. i see failure everywhere. but i cannot seem to understand what the numbers for radio are, because no one really knows, because there are no accurate metrics. but you've got to tell me you can't get someone who runs a taco truck selling $2 tacos and balances their books and a big time radio station (even a dying medium) can't figure out how to make money? this is like sears failing because of a catalog mail order business has taken over their market sector. dude, you fucking invented that sector, how can you lose there?
  2. i have to be honest, when massive entertainment type layoffs like this happen, it's rarely a surprise. what is a surprise is who they choose to let go vs who they choose to keep. these espn layoffs don't make a lot of sense.
  3. fuck's sake, i got goosebumps. i thought the joker was the role joaquin was destined to play. never did i think of him as napoleon. jesus christ, that's perfect.
  4. also, elon is on drugs, so...
  5. i mean, make fun of her all you want, but she's trying. i don't agree with a lot of her politics, to the extent that she really has any real principles that aren't wrapped up in someone's, anyone's approval, but i have to be honest: compare and contrast her performance with the rest of the council over the past decade.
  6. i feel like they had to misinterpreting what market data they were getting, or i'm clearly not the center of the universe that i think i am. high school sports probably has its place on local sports radio. at 9am on a Saturday morning. or 7pm on a thursday night. not all over the station at all hours, unless the story is exceptional in some way. otherwise, if you cannot fill a day's worth of work with content featuring, in no particular order, the longhorns, austin fc (which, by extension, i guess, means some coverage of dallas and houston clubs also), the texas rangers, the houston astros, the dallas cowboys, the houston texans, the dallas mavericks, the houston rockets, the san antonio spurs, texas a&m shit, texas tech shit, and now new sec bullshit? fuck's sake. content isn't the problem. it's either the buisiness model, or someone is stealing. and, i guess, terrestrial radio and local tv is broken and no one seems to know how to fix it by trying to crowbar in as many low cost ads as possible.
  7. that's what i don't get, though. like the longhorn network, there is tons of fucking content out there, just waiting for eyes and ears, but they left most of it out there on the table. but even so, the math should be able to work out. the fuck does an ad spot cost these days? why are we still doing traditional noise pollution advertising in the first place?
  8. i got lots of problems but my legs ain't one. i ain't ashamed of that. i wear underwear. boxer briefs, in fact. nevertheless, those shorty shorts are gonna give people a glimpse of the goods. i also hate wearing clingy shirts. i'm an old grumpy man
  9. following the cnn si model which worked so well.
  10. it's beyond weird how this seems to always end up. this ain't dallas or philly, but this is a sports town. how we can't get a fucking decent sports radio station in the 10th largest city in the country is beyond me, but it's far from the only growing up austin has left to do.
  11. i just don't understand the radio business, i guess. maybe it's the cost of living and rent for studio space has gone through the roof, and from what i understand, they were using some prime real estate. but there has got to be a way to balance the books on a sports content terrestrial radio show in austin fucking texas, even if the general consensus is that the medium is supposedly dying. dying like newspapers, in the race to the bottom and the inability to figure out a revenue model not based in the 18th century, it's always the content. you make good content and people will consume it. find a way to make terrestrial radio work without 20 minutes of commercials an hour. that's 1/3 of your listener's time, when there are podcasts and spotify out there. fuck's sake, get it together, radio. shorter breaks, charge more for ads, fuck i dunno. think differently. oh, and pay talent, stop paying admin. but that's everywhere.
  12. listen, i love the butt cheek inseam fashion trend for ladies but i just don't get the 5 inch inseam thing for dudes these days. i am nothing at all special and I'm a grower, not a shower and even my dong is gonna peek out of those shorty shorts. what is happening?
  13. twitter embeds are a good ad the poster sourcing the information. might as well complain at the link posting accepted practice. if there is misinformation, highlight it and refute it just like anyone would a zerohedge link. it's a little weird that twitter embed functionality is your singular misinformation fetish.

    LBGTQ

    he was just asking questions. tried and true form of conservative rhetoric. the old what if slippery slope
  15. i for one found the miracle whip vs mayo paystub/fridge pic exchange to be funny af. especially the part where @Anastasis went so far as to hide his miracle whip in a horseradish container. that's elon musk energy right there. lol yall funny
  16. posrep for gif success
  17. jesus fucking christ just post your link when making a claim. it makes it easier to identify trolls. trolls make claims without backup. don't be a troll.
  18. it's fine, you don't deserve that kind of disrespect, and we don't countenance hate around here.
  19. 1. it's not derka. derka has been working pretty hard on being pretty cool. 2. he's taking a break for the weekend. there's no room for hate or anti-lbgtq+ shit around here.
  20. lol. yeah, we fired all those people and all the institutional knowledge and expected them to move on without a career or trying to use any of those skills. of course they went and made a social media aggregation platform for your competitor because he treated them like something approaching human even though he's totally a lizard, because he hates you and wants to crush you. /maybeaguywhowasrecentlyfiredwith12yearsinstitutionalknowledgegofuckyourself
  21. i mean, that's great and all yall, but seriously, this supposedly sacrosanct body of justices is actually openly bought and paid for. openly. obviously. shamelessly. we need a change. at least in the "good old days" the cash in the apple pie was at least a pretense.
  22. lol never. some cops are good, sure, but as a body, they've been legal gangsters forever. it's part of the draw - the power of immunity for the power. any sort of badged authority figure deserves apprehension at the very least.
