A great recovery from the segment before where Rich pulls his "You can't tell me I'm wrong! I win!" argument style. I'm shocked Fred doesn't jump over the table and hit him when he's like that. So annoying when Rich's argument is flawed and he thinks he's smarter than everyone and declares he "wins"The segment with Brandon Meriweather today was outstanding. I couldn't stop laughing during the Whizzinator portion at the end.
He's absolutely, 100% right about Eric B. I'm not so sure about BDK.This morning, Fred said that Big Daddy Kane is one of the top 10 rappers of all-time and (unsarcastically) that Eric B never had a bad verse.
The next one at 8:40 was great too.The Brookline 911 segment is absolute gold.
They mentioned yesterday that Rich has to show up on site to pull these audio files now. He certainly puts in the work and it shows.The Brookline 911 segment is absolute gold.
That first one might have been more annoying than anything from Brookline. That dispatcher ruledThe Brookline 911 segment is absolute gold.
Yes he was. "Can you send someone down here to tell them to stop?" "No"That first one might have been more annoying than anything from Brookline. That dispatcher ruled
You could just hear in his voice how over those calls he is. That’s what so many of those people need is to hear the word “no” every once in a while. They’re so empowered by the thrill of telling on someone that they start calling for every little inconvenience. If more people had the stones that that dispatcher has, there’d be fewer of these peopleYes he was. "Can you send someone down here to tell them to stop?" "No"
So the syndication (for now) is just “throughout New England”? Sounds similar to Howie Carr’s deal. Good for them though. These type of deals have to be very rare these days.
I usually listen to the podcast version of the show, and they opened the show by saying he's out. Nothing other than that. Rich is out tomorrow, so I'm guessing it's planned to stagger having at least one on.Did they say where Fred's at today?
VERY compelling. Mike Lockhart did a hell of a job pulling raw audio footage of it. Maybe the Red Sox should start pulling every tape and angle they can from Fenway and see if they can find this whistle man.this whistling thing is amazing
If that’s the case I 100% support it and he needed to get out of there. Taking your kid who’s a Jets fan and leaving at half time is not great.it may be the no alcohol thing. If you're used to getting hammered at a game, and you can't, your team is getting smoked....etc
Maybe his kid didn’t want to stay either. It was pretty clear what direction the game was headed at that pointIf that’s the case I 100% support it and he needed to get out of there. Taking your kid who’s a Jets fan and leaving at half time is not great.
I’m not going to say anything about anyones kid. If he wanted to go home because then Jets weren’t going to win or even be competitive he’s got a long fandom ahead of him.Maybe his kid didn’t want to stay either. It was pretty clear what direction the game was headed at that point
FWIW this week he said sitting in traffic doesn't bother him when he's not drivingI’m pretty sure he was comped the tickets so why subject yourself to a blowout… sober… surrounded by Massholes… with an endless traffic jam if you stay until the end of the game? I’m sure he and Milo “got their moneys worth”.
Sounds like Milo was ready to go about half way through the 2nd. I 100% would not stay to the end of the game and sit in traffic, done that way too many times.I’m pretty sure he was comped the tickets so why subject yourself to a blowout… sober… surrounded by Massholes… with an endless traffic jam if you stay until the end of the game?

100% and I say this as someone who went a ton of games in the last 20 years. It's even worse when it's a national game.In my opinion, NFL games are also the least enjoyable to attend in person relative to the other three major sports. It's nice to see plays develop in real time and shit like that, but there's way too much stoppage.
It sounded like Fred hates going to NFL games, which he has said for years, so he went to another, the game wasn't compelling and left. Every time he goes to a game he leaves and says that it sucked. Not sure why he even goes unless his kid is asking him to go and being a good dad. The NFL product of in game experience has gotten worse every year. I used to go to 4-8 games a year and less so after having a kid, it starts to wear on you. I didn't think it was as bad as he did as a once every 3-4 years thing.He said this morning he left at halftime because of the score but also because there was no point to watching the 2nd half because Zach Wilson was hurt. He said if Wilson was still in the game he probably would've stayed around. Sounded like his kid wanted to leave too as he said the most excited he got was for the fantasy points Corey Davis scored for him.
Yeah I loved going to games, but the expense and time spent is a lot. The home viewing option is so much more convenient with RZ and now I have Fubo so I can have up to 4 channels on at the same time. It’s the perfect viewing experience.It sounded like Fred hates going to NFL games, which he has said for years, so he went to another, the game wasn't compelling and left.

This. It’s so ingrained in Boston media. Huge victories and oftentimes you’ll turn on postgame shows and all they are talking about is “why didn’t they win bigger?” Or “why was it so close”. It’s weird.It is the general Boston Sports Radio position to never let players, coaches, or fans enjoy any single triumph. Ever. There's always something wrong with winning in Boston.
Independent of this we all know (sadly that) Fred is just a miserable person so there shouldn't be anything surprising about this.
Complaining about players on a team with a losing record having too much fun on the sidelines while blowing out a trash opponent is the most predictable Boston sports radio take imaginable.It is the general Boston Sports Radio position to never let players, coaches, or fans enjoy any single triumph.

The Boston sports media are figure skating judges. "Yeah they won, but was it pretty enough? I say no!" "Yeah they won, but was the team gracious in victory? I say no!" "Yeah they won, but do they deserve it? Was the competition stout enough? I say no!" and each pronouncement is suffixed with "Prove me wrong!"This. It’s so ingrained in Boston media.

I don't think WCYY, the alt/modern rock station in Portland is part of Beasley, but they're syndicating T&R as of last Monday. They also acquired a few more frequencies in Augusta and Conway, NH. Should be a pretty broad coverage for all of the lower half of Maine.
That was amazing.Holy crap, they're getting phone calls from another station trying to win Disney tickets and started playing Name That Fart with the callers. I was in tears when Fred said, "Sorry, that was Sir John Gielgud".
