AND RICHIE HAS MONSTROUS THIGHS   BE CAREFUL HE'LL GOUGE YOUR EYES   SCREAMS RACIAL SLURS AT BLACK GUYS   but out of love.. but out of love, but out of loooooove

Much like with Christianity, someday after I'm dead, when people are forming a religion around me, there will be a big split between those who don't believe in the literal divinity of my lifestyle and

God I love that Incognito song.

what are you talking about?

what the hell is this post about?

I think he was drunk

 

Did you guys even read the comments? This thread was on the front page, and almost all of the comments on the first comment were about the show.

I didn't see anything about Dan, only some teachers taking bribes in Detroit.

 

Oh man. The top parent comment dropped to like 4th place.

 

If you want to see what I was talking about, scroll down until you find this comment:

 

"Special place in hell etc etc."

It kind of hit me like I imagine someone like mk or Strat feels when one of their bands goes mainstream. LeBatard felt like our thing, and now it's everyone's thing. It's not bad or sad, really, it just hit me weird that it's getting so popular.

 

 

Also, thanks for somehow finding him so many years ago and pushing us to listen. I still can't believe you just randomly found a local Miami podcast like that, BigD. Do you have anything else that you've been listening to lately that you're loving?

I’ve been a a regular since 2009, so I got that going for me, which is nice

 

 

It’s funny, when they moved to mornings, all of us on here swore up and down that dan was miserable, and he was strident in his denial of that, claiming he has a great life and he isn’t unhappy

 

Now he readily admits that he was miserable, and that he made this switch for everyone else, not himself, which is exactly what we said

 

Much like dan, our greatest joy is in being right.

 

Wonder if they are playing the hits because they are headed to Sirius and are going to lose their library???

 

Dan and crew really crap on Hoch for being an attention whore and marketer. I like Hoch’s cheesiness. I also laugh at Cote’s clunkers.

 

Death metal hockey guy wasn’t THAT funny. I like surfer dude better.

I don't remember how I found him, I'm pretty sure I heard him on The old BS report on ESPN. I know I used to like him when he was on Sunday mornings on ESPN radio, when I was up all night playing poker and driving home. That's probably why I decided to give him a shot, after hearing him on Bill Simmons but honestly, I don't clearly remember how it happened anymore. I'm pretty sure I was listening in 2008, because I remember writing Hoch an email when his pops died, thanking him for the show and how much it meant to me, when my own pops died in 2008, so I had to be listening at least then.

I also found it mildly upsetting when they were crapping on Hoch last week. I loved Hoch. Mike is good at his job, there is no doubt. But in my memory, I still liked Hoch better. (At least as an on-air personality - without commenting on his actual abilities as a producer)

Hochman made me laugh much harder than Mike does. Over all, the shipping container as a whole > Hoch but If I could trade Mike for Hoch, I'd do it in a nanosecond. I wonder how Hoch feels about being the Dunkleman of the Lebatard show.

I don’t listen to the main show much anymore due to time, but the local hours really have been annoying. Just trying way too hard to be funny, do bits, rag on Cote, etc. it’s too much at this point. Don’t be afraid to mix in even a hint of actual local sports talk.

 

Plus, before they even said anything, I thought he was being rude to that Cuban mafia writer.

put it on the poll, Essay.. Guy who uses "don't be afraid to mix in X"... douche or no douche?

 

It was a tad douchey, I’ll admit. But he seems to be trying to hard to make it a personality driven show and has strayed so far from what they used to do.

 

And dan acts like he’s the arbiter of comedy. He barely cracks the top 3 of funny on that show. Mike is good, billy is good. Let’s not kid each other, all of their funny, the looks like game, the song parodies, most of that is the fans, Mike, Hoch, etc.

 

The show used to make you think, talked about societal stuff, dabbled in analytics, while having fun. Now it’s all about going for a laugh a minute.

 

Maybe just the local hour is shitty now. Their “show meeting” or whatever.

I think the main show is still really great. I listen to all of the main hours (not the local hour) every day. I still love it.
