Don't you clones come in with your weak takes. No one wants to hear your lame "ARRSEE". Come strong, clones, and you may make it to the Smack Off. Rack him

Tremendous!


I had no idea that guy was still around.

[Deej 77,848]

Funny, but their signal comes in better on their national shows.

I mean, I don't think I've heard a second of him since he was last on the Austin airwaves what....5 years ago? Ten? If he's still regurgitating the same schtick then I guess give the dude his props for making a living saying absolutely nothing while repeating the same old tired tropes for the past 25 years. Good work if you can get it.

The Pauly Shore of sports talk, but Rome 15 minutes of fame turned out to be 1,500 minutes

I had Hogan and Babers on in the office on Wednesday.  I got distracted by work and didn't realize it was 11 AM and their show was over.  All of a sudden I had Iggy Pop and Jim Rome's dumb ass blaring at me -- holy smokes, I had forgotten how utterly banal and annoying that guy is.  

Rod Babers was on "On Texas Football" livestream tonight (Sunday) on YouTube.  On Texas Football is gonna do other shows with Babers during the football season. 

Rod is gonna do the YouTube livestream show with Bobby Burton immediately after Texas football games again this season.

They mentioned Babers radio show on HornFM 101.9 in the mornings, but did talk about Rod's afternoon gig with Orangebloods ("Rodcast" YouTube).

I'm wondering if Babers has quit the Orangebloods gig ?? 🤔

The afternoon show (local/rush hour) on the Horn is horribad.

Not a surprise... Patrick has always sucked

[JesusSweatDuck 18,124]

Jason Dick back on 101.5 in the AM.  Show was 1000% better this AM.  I like Nick but he can't carry a show.

 

Also Jason Dick and Nick on 102.7 from 11-1

Rod isn't on the show today, you might be right.

LOL if Ketchum promoted it without getting a formal agreement from Babers.

Makes sense... On this morning's livestream, Bobby Burton really promoted 3 or 4 different things that Babers will be doing with "On Texas Football" youtube going forward. 

5 hours on live morning radio HornFM, and then 2-3 hours live afternoon for Orangebloods just did not make sense for Babers.

Babers and his wife are expecting a baby in early October too.

Is Chip Brown already off ESPN?

Yes, he does a show with Isaiah Collier on the Texas Sports Unfiltered.  And starting next week, they also have a one hour show with Mike Hardge!  So basically everybody fired from or left the horn in the last couple of years are part of that thing.  Bold strategy...

Edit to add: Chip was replaced by Jason Dick on ESPN (102.7)

I have that on now bc neither 1260 or 101.9 have a signal that works south of the river.

Might check 1300. 

[jimmyjazz 47,221]

Why did Brad Kellner leave a top 4 media market for a youtube channel?  Is that actually a step up financially?

[chainsaw 10,298]

It's not terrible radio if I'm being honest.

101.9 only comes in from Pflugerville and North. Tower must be in Jarrell. Next tornado takes them out.

That top 4 market required him to discuss the Texans for hours every week?

That’s one reason the BK network on Youtube might have a shot. It’s decent quality Austin sports talk with dudes who are good at it- plus a couple of annoying tools.

If enough of the olds figure out the subscribe button and their bluetooth settings, the Texas Sports Unfiltered thing could catch on. BK, Bucky and Kevin Dunn are solid on air.

If they can pick up their subscriber #s and keep adding sponsors through football season, who knows what they can turn it into? There’s literally nothing on the traditional radio signals to listen to in Austin. 

 

[Deej 77,848]

You lost me at Bucky is solid on air. 

[jimmyjazz 47,221]

Has Kevin Dunn grown up yet?  Last I paid attention, he was still a late-30s teenager.

[Deej 77,848]

Well, he is missing a testicle.

I enjoyed him on the old afternoon show because he could and did talk about baseball.

Bucky as the second banana is fine. Seems odd to hack on a guy who only stays in radio so he can have a platform to raise $$$$$ to help the abused girls home with his golf tournament, but we all have our tastes and non-negotiables. He’s funny enough on-air, imo.

[Deej 77,848]

The man can't stay on topic for more than a minute or two.

It always made me laught when EHogan would be getting deep into a topic -- say, the Longhorn defensive line -- and Bucky would just randomly bust out some comment about Dak Prescott.

[Brisketexan 106,923]

Listened to the KLBJ post game yesterday. With Ed Clements…and his son Ben. A real all-star lineup.
At one point, they’re talking about this week’s UH uniforms, with Columbia blue, and Ben keeps referring to them as “a montage to the Houston Oilers.”
I was confused for a good 10 minutes until it clicked that he was trying to say “homage,” but he didn’t have the vocabulary. It was a truly worthless listen my whole drive home from the game (till I switched over to play some Tom Petty, which I enjoyed).

[jimmyjazz 47,221]

Like father, like son.  Chip off the old block.  Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[Underdog 29,196]

Back in my delivery days it was… 

B&E in the morning

Rome morning/afternoon

Way & Trey

Then switch over to Ward on KLBJ. 
 

CBSSN also airs Rome’s show. 

[MAUFRAIS 6,741]

Mr. Radio and his son’s only qualifications are faces for the medium.

[AUS-97HORN 12,051]

I didnt even listen to any of the pre or post game.  damn.  didnt even think about it... maybe because I dont get the damn station on the radio anymore

There's enough people who have made the switch from drive time radio to podcasts, but they won't be olds. It will be 30s-40s people who want to hear sports talk radio focused on Texas athletics.

Is the BK show on Spotify or just YT?

I haven't heard anything about spotify. I don't really use spotify to be honest

Both as well as a very basic audio-only streaming app.

man,  I never realized how much I actually paid attention to the after-shows, and the local radio after-action reports. 

I slept in and missed pretty much all of Erin and Rob this morning.  in the past, I would just listen to the rest of the local radio.... not an option unless I download the podcasts later. and I sure as fuck am not listening to the late drive guy 

Im just a fucking dinosaur now

I think one of these shows had Ricky Williams on. It's pretty interesting to see these people able to say "fuck" and talk about the kind of stuff that would've gotten them fired back in their radio days.

Posted it to provide the YouTube link since previous post only had links for Spotify and Apple podcasts.

Nothing to do with date of tweet.

[chainsaw 10,298]

I had a working weekend and used their youtube videos as background content. Some of the lesser known personalities are pretty decent. I hope they can make it work
