I have my fingers crossed that hill man spring book is better because of Mego . She smart, articulate, has coherent thoughts and points. Plus she not being ridiculed like Courtney was on her mistakes, the boys would constantly beat down on cox which I found unacceptable. I also don’t miss Courtney religious obsession with social media. I think the show flows better with Mego.

We'll see Mark, working on the numbers as we speak....

Look…soccer is a great game. Those of us who love it don’t want it to be NFL football but we’d like a little respect as it is a sport that 90% of the world plays and loves. That’s all.

As to WEEI Mego is better, the afternoon show blows. The ratings will stink.

The Tom Brady thing is a kick in the nads. No other way to put it and it stinks.

Just as well on the ownership thing...we don't need this lead zeppelin (yes, it was an expression before the groundbreaking band) sinking down into oblivion again...

But you're missing the whole point...my way of saying I have a completely unrelated take:

I imagine KJ Carson is the last of the wife-left-him, took-the-kids journeyman talk show hosts, lives in an apartment he hates to be in, and when you look at his "paycheck" for 'EEI, his compensation is somehow redirected back to Audacy, creating a "net-zero" paycheck🤣...has he no shame? St. Peter could commence the Rapture, and he would opt for a Red Sox Post-game show shift that Arcand was too lazy to go in for...am I far off on this?

Umm...good points on all the ...stuff you talked about...

Not surprised by Dave at this point. His lies have now put him into the Dana White tier. I’m ready to stage a corporate coup as soon as you give me the signal.

NO mention of Andy Hart going to Sports Hub. I love RKT. GHS is better with Mego.

Ha Ha RKT is terrible. WEEI stinks and has for a very long time.

It's only 2 percentage points behind.

Good stuff, shocked the Red Sox are winning and they beat the Mets last night, if they can turn it around and stay consistent, then, who knows. Interesting to see how we do with some more injuries but, can't say I'm mad, fuck the Mets for whatever reason, don't like them. ggs

completely agree with your take on soccer. I couldn't care less until I got into it during the 2014 world cup and then found a premier league team to follow since I then wanted to continue watching and have grown into other leagues and competitions since then, replacing another sport I used to love growing up, baseball. Now no longer watch baseball.

But I agree, we've been hearing forever that U.S. is on the verge, will only get better from here, future is bright, etc. Nothing really changes though. And horse racing good analogy to it being a fringe sport in the U.S. You can watch soccer every 4 years if you want, never if you want too. And pleading for more viewers to continue watching does seem weak as you mentioned. Spot on with those takes.

This is just 12+ listeners.

Men 25-54 is a bloodbath. Again.

Full details tomorrow, but see Boston Radio Watch on Twitter for the real #s.

...and my guess is that if Mego understood her value, 'EEI couldn't afford her...and I think we're going to see a very different Coco come back on the airwaves...less vapid, some of it might be a bit calculated and contrived, but mark my words...she's going to lean into the "I have evolved...and I am Mother Earth" gig hard...no more dummy...

* Stalwart. But I'm sure former Patriots WR Donte Stallworth appreciates the semi-shout. Also, Rich Keefe was one of the best FNL correspondents. But I think we all know who the best was. 😉

Soccer, meh. I'll miss not making it to Saratoga this year. I still 100% believe in Brad. I'm afraid in general that the battle of the screens with kids is lost. Good luck.

Mut (Mike Mutnansky)'s avatar

Joe! Will miss you this summer.

Battle wages on

Since we're still in the Mutstack Trust Tree, I really hope we are potentially getting Mutstack merch.

Good meeting you last week at toga mut. Think it’s only fair if Dave is going to renege that he names one of his next yearlings after mutstack

Mut (Mike Mutnansky)'s avatar

Miss MutStack would be a runner, John.
