Having never listened to you on WEEI, it's been fun getting to know you through KMS. You seem like a talented broadcaster, a decent, good natured, man and father. I enjoy and support your content on MutStack.

I thought turning down the KMS producer job was misguided, but you are legitimately insane for turning down Portnoy. That's an opportunity you don't turn down for a part-time gig on a far, far, far inferior platform.

Still have much love for you. Great blog this week.

Excellent MutStack Mut. I think you got your point across and made it better here than you did on Unnamed. Now, perhaps I will be the one to get through to you.

I understand why you are loyal to Mohegan Sun, to some extent. They stuck with you after you were fired from the radio. That time must have been a difficult for you, and I am sure you appreciated Mohegan Sun having your back. However, here is the situation: You are in your forties and will not live forever, you are not making enough money to support your family, and the career path you are choosing is clearly not a good one. Essentially, you are sacrificing everything for this company, who would not sacrifice anything for you. This show that you are going to be doing will not be a success. I do not know if you know that or not, but we need to face reality for a second Mut, because this is insanity. I cannot imagine that that is the opportunity you actually want, more than a job at Barstool where you will one make a real salary, but also have room for growth. To me, and perhaps I am mistaken, it is the clearest choice of a dead-end, low pay, nothing job, versus a well-paying opportunistic job. Is your loyalty to Mohegan Sun really more important than your entire family's future, or even your own life? Did you murder a child and they covered it up for you? If they can't understand you putting your LIFE and FAMILY over them, that is a terrible relationship.

Take it into consideration,

Is there a reason your new show only runs thru November 7? Football, as you know, runs through December with the playoffs in January and the Super Bowl in February. I’m just curious

Loyalty is important, but loyalty to the paycheck is even more important, especially with kids. As long as it works for you, I personally would not want to work for barstool but I am a minority.

If you think the WEEI midday is good now, I may have to check it out, I did not like Jones when I tuned when he first got to EEI, but maybe I will change my opinion.

Thursday evenings are bad for me as I do outreach work, but if there is a way to watch or listen online or anything, I would love that. I did not see anything on their website, loved Mohegan personally, first concert. Love to get more Mut, idc what anyone says, Mut and Merloni was what got me into sports radio and my first calls, I will always have those memories and that's why I have continued to follow you, aside from being the sports dude I agree the most with.

You're a good man, any company that doesn't have you, is missing out, not vice versa.

I miss bonus bets, I got one for my birthday, which was nice, but MGM used to be great, not anymore, same with FanDuel. I made like $580 total last year from bonus bets. lol

good looks.

p.s. what's your go-to beer?

Mut, take the job. Think about your future and your families future, barstool is basically job security for life , Manzo is still even on the payroll.

WEEI has a great week without Chris Curtis.

Maybe it’s just the slow week in sports and the lineup changes, but all of the in show gambling spots are gone.

Arcand and Hart need a planned segment or something. The show just kind of ends and it loses energy. Even reading Harts twitter beefs would be something. Girardi with hart and Arcand would be an upgrade.
