Wow! How uncomfortable is this?! How about Bruce commenting how Radnich has talked over callers "for years?" I thought Gary was going to go through the glass. This is great stuff. The show sucks, but the tension makes it priceless.
First time a very long time I've tuned in 9 to 12 on 680...But this is great stuff...I just turned on my office tv to watch...Radnich is getting abused by Damon...hilarious stuff...Damon is talking sports and Radnich hasn't a clue...
Gary is the worst thing on radio and has been for years. the "nooooobody wants to hear about sports at 9am" crap has gone on far too long. hey guess what jackass, you are on a sports network. no more mailing it in. watch a game, converse with fans, shut it.
Just 2 see & hear that FAT BASTARD crumble,scramble & "refer" everything to Bruce is PRICELESS.After years thinkin he is king of the hill & that he would always work alone,get his way,bullying the staff & callers,this is THE ULTIMATE kick to the curb since Dan Rather & Connie Chung! Can you say TRAIN WRECK! LMFAO
gary can't keep up this pace. Damon Bruce should take the show solo. so far I'm liking what I hear on the Game. competition brings out the best. #gameon
At 10:30 a.m.,Radnich body language said "This is a huge mistake"..he's all closed up,head down..his giggling is on simmer. That Radnich already said he's going on his annual two week vacation in a month almost sounded like a good by warning if he's not happy at how things go by then. I hate the B.S they are putting out this isnt a rection to 95.7..Sure,a show out of the blue on Monday appears on KNBR -no fanfare???..like I said,Radnich desperation on being paired with Kate Scott,forced his hand. He saw his career tick ticking away. Meanwhile the Urban show on 95.7 is off to a rocky start..Urban aint too happy himself with his co -host. The Chemistry is weak. Dibs and the arise guys in the morn?...Dibs is trying to bring humor to two guys who take themselves a bit too seriously..and the arise guys? Might as well be one so far..they agree on everything. signed , the masked "S"
Tuned in and Damon Bruce was co-hosting this morning? WTF?
They actually got rid of Tony Bruno? Damon Bruce said they've been talking about this for months. Sounds like utter bullshit, this move reeks of another Lee Hammer ass-pull.
KNBR seems like it's been in chaos for the last few years under Hammer.
Trying to figure out what the hell is going on there and who's stabbing who in the back is like Kremlinology or that TV show Game of Thrones.
Here's a list of KNBR casualties from the past 6 months:
FP Santangelo Mychael Urban Dan Dibley Tony Bruno More?
Although it's hard not to like Marty Lurie, Dave Feldhouse openly complains on other shows about having to work the boards for him during his marathon call-in show he does on the weekends and nights.
Kate Scott seems smart/ambitious/conniving but stuck, for now, doing traffic and listening to frat guy jokes. Who knows, maybe that means she's a perfect fit.
After touting how the Bruno segment was the best half-hour in radio, KNBR executives now feel like an "outsider" view for 30 minutes would ruin the local love-fest? WTF? How damn cheap are these bastards becoming? The Bruno segment WAS the best part of ALL the morning shows, and certainly was the only reason to listen to Radnich. This makes absolutely no sense. Perhaps Bruno asked for a big raise to continue? But really... We need canned commentary from Tony Bruno throughout the day? KNBR is becoming completely unlistenable.
Why does Radnich keep asking Kate Scott how she likes the show? Eventually Kate had to say: "Why do you keep asking me?" He keeps asking because he knows that this new show is a complete and utter disaster. Gary says he doesn't smoke or drink, but today might be a good day for a beer and a blunt.
95.7 says on their webiste "We arent the A's KNBR"..No? then why is it like KNBR ALL white men with one blackman? Sports broadcasting locally is blatantly racist! its -In your FACE racist. When 95.7 wonders why all that effort didnt work in a years time?...
I agree it is weird how whitewashed sports radio is here in the Bay Area. There's are huge niches for 95.7 to exploit if they hired more Latino, African-American and Asian talent.
Oakland hipsters and blipsters all follow the Warriors, the Raiders' blue collar Latino fanbase, the big contingent of Filipino and Pacific Islanders on the Penninsula who follow the Giants and 49ers. I mean, come on.
OK,now that its over...LOUD! that's the word. Rich had it right early-gotta give him that,because Damon Bruce wore my ears off. I never see him talk so fast,and so much. On the broadcast he was gulping tonsil relaxers of choice by the gallon,and keeping a wet whistle. It was like a car race-FAST,LOUD,more LOUD, and for three hours. Holy Moly..and that Bruno part was like a funeral,as Radnich unburdened his guilt at not standing up to the brass. Awkward? is there a stronger word? Horriblyawkward maybe? 95.7 and KNBR are at war..and it aint pretty!-lol. S
I'm just not a fan of the local yokels, esp. Bruce (he just reminds me--but not always--of the overconfident, loud doughy guys I'd hear holding court on Wrigleyville bar stools), so I'm happy Dan Patrick's repeats are back on at Noon on 1050.
lousy programming at KNBR...having the loudmouth D. Bruce run roughshod over the Radnich is big mistake and losing Bruno is the worst call yet...unbelievable...and now Rod Brooks is acting like an ass-kiss welcoming back Krueger like they're best of friends from way way back is just silly. i think Rod fears that he'll be the next to lose his job.
for the usual crybabies complaining that there aren't enough minorities on this or that station, why don't you just start your own radio station and hire every minority in town? have at it...nobody is stopping you...have you ever heard anyone complain that there aren't enough white guys in the NBA or not enough white guys on your urban or hip hop or rap station? don't think so...just grow up and try to see things without looking at race all the time...
btw, who the hell cares what Dave Feldhouse wants? if Marty Lurie wants to go til midnight and Feldhouse don't like it then fire his ass....Lurie is the best thing going for KNBR...
One of these kids is not like the others, One of these kids just doesn't belong, Can you tell which kid is not like the others By the time I finish my song?

Did you guess which kid was not like the others? Did you guess which kid just doesn't belong? If you guessed this one is not like the others, Then you're absolutely...right!
Maybe the talent here in the Bay Area shouldn't look like a 1950s country club in Montgomery, Alabama or a Yale fraternity?
Gary's reason for the loss of Tony Bruno's segment was weak and evasive.
Maybe we will hear some genuine sports topics on KNBR now.
There were days when I thought I was listening to Rona Barrett or Entertainment Tonight with all the Hollywood gossip that Radnich would spit out every morning.
Give Damon Bruce credit at least he understands and appreciates sports and adds credibility to the KNBR.
1214 ,Funny you didn't even catch that you admit,people of color WOULD have to own a sports station if they wanted to see a fellow on air. Ironic that one of 95.7 's rise and shine boys is named-WHITEY!..lol..pathetic how racist sports media is..pathetic. But Larry Krueger is employed..whats the message there?
I'm surprised with all the Gary bashing. Granted, of the thousands of listeners we're only hearing from 28 or so of them. I for one like Gary. I love the Radnich/Bruno segment. I like D-Bruce however he made a comment once about people without college degrees that didn't sit well with me. He's a tad over the top conceited at times but I'm a fan.
I feel Gary's show has lost some luster over the past couple of years. I can't put my finger on it but it has. Not sure where or when, but I do find myself being less interested in his show as I was say 3-4 years ago. I would still tune in for the Bruno segment so I believe they will lose something without him.
Kate Scott is nice to look at, but even in real time, its like the words coming out of her mouth don't match up with the movements of her mouth. If you have ever watched her on Comcast you'd know what I'm saying. It's weird, like she's alien. Maybe she is.....
I can't stand Fitz and Brooks and really hope they do something about that timeslot. Give me Len Tillem on KGO over them anyday. That's how bad it is.
WTF is a blipster ? Did you mean that to mean black hipster ? That would be a the ultimate oxymoron. "Hipsters" like to dress "down" and gentrify "hoods" pretending to be down as they ride 70's Schwinn's, old 60's blue collar wardrobes in lofts built in west and east Oakland. Nonetheless, they don't root for the Warriors- they are oddly enough seen at A's games however wearing whatever green and gold emo gear they could find from the over priced consignment stores they frequent- further disrespecting true A's fans (wearing a ringed Darthmouth green and gold shirt from 1985 does not count as A's fan gear).
But yeah I agree with the point. The BEST show on radio would be a cholo from Hayward and a brotha doing a Raider show- that would be the real deal. I sit next to a Filipino who happens to have played professionally in the Philippines. Asians damn near WORSHIP the Warriors (in this area) and basketball in general. You mean they can't find some of my pinoy folks to talk basketball ? These would bring in ratings. Yeah I agree; sports talk needs a little diversification.
212 gets it. Can you believe that Bruce,Radnich and on 95.7 they were all arguing if its Bell-tran or Bell-tron? Bruce,who is something of a brute bigot..said "This is America-you get angloized"..bullshit Damon. And it is Bell-tron. You say a mans name the way he says it. At least show some respect for other cultures.
I will show respect for other cultures when they show respect for mine and actually make an attempt to learn the laws of the country they just illegally invaded.
Where's P-Con ?

ReplyDeleteRadnich is going to have to start watching ESPN and reading the Sporting Green to get current, pronto.

This is all sort of hilarious.
Radnich made a strange remark-"I could have quit,when they said Bruno wouldnt be on the show"
ReplyDeleteOdd. Pathos.
