If it helps, you both sound like 15 year olds going back and forth in the cafeteria. 

It's true. I never feel good after something like this.  I just now even before reading this thought about deleting my account.  Maybe I'll just be a lurker.  I spend too much time on here anyways.  I am laughing pretty hard right now though at the ridiculousness of the situation.

Difference of opinions.  In the 90's the show was mainly callers and there were a ton of inside jokes that made it fun to listen too.  If you didn't listen to him back then, then you would have no idea.  The show progressed to the point where they basically didn't take callers anymore.  I stopped listening over 10 years ago but imo the show was great in the late 90's when I was listening to it.  "Certainly Duke is Duke, they're on TV more than, Leave it to Beava, re-runs."

I stopped listening a bit before you did. He actually was capable of pretty good interviews (despite the “Chris Everett” thing, which made him look like Dick Rome). He also had a classic line when the Williams sisters (a/k/a Predator sisters)  announced they were going to spend less time on tennis, and more time on  their clothing designs. “That’s good news for strippers and hookers everywhere!” Yeah, I’m not a Serena fan. 

 

He got away from interviews to lean more heavily on his shtick stuff. I turned him off one day when he was playing the donkey noise for what seemed like forever. I had to walk across my office to turn him off, and never turned him on again. I didn’t know he was still on the planet until very recently. 

 

I believe the Duke is Duke thing was a Pete Gillan’s quote, and that was funny.

Jim Rome like everything else was amazing in the 90's and has progressively gotten worse, like everything else.

 

i enjoyed the days when i had a supercushy CFO job and could listen to Jim and the Fabulous Sports Babe and Rush in the afternoon with full attention

Another triggered Rogan fan. Knew you "enlightened libertarian centrists" would be fish in a barrel. :nana:

 

 

Nothing epic about giving that ahole another platform.

Hmmmm...you use the words “triggered” and “platform”...I think we all know where you come from...?

Who is joe Rogan? ..   never heard of him.. but Rome is Rome. .who really gives a S.. what he thinks.. or Joe rogan, for that matter..Listen... or not.. 

Rogan: I listened a few times. As some people said of Paul Ryan, he’s a dumb person’s idea of a smart person. And sorry, Rome was always insufferable with his cadre of Rome imitator callers doing his shtick. He got some traction nationwide in the 90s, but as sports radio (hell, radio in general) retreats into a small niche market of Guys Who Spend Too Much Time On The Road, he’s thankfully become irrelevant. But hey, thanks for “liking” the Bills even if it’s just an excuse for riffing on the ineptitude of the NJ teams.

I like Joe Rogan, as well as Vic Berger and all of the "woke" new age comedians that dunk on Rogan for having had alt-right guests in the past (and extremely liberal guests, but it doesn't fit the narrative), which is likely what is fueling these virtue signaling nerds that are on a crusade against him now. Rogan can be an oaf that repeats and contradicts himself regularly, but he also talks to some extremely interesting people.

 

I like small doses of Jim Rome too, maybe I just have terrible taste.

Rome, like all radio shows, vary a lot in their quality, not just day to day but topic to topic even.  Rome has had me cracking up many times, though I never listen to him anymore.

Schopp is another example, if he's in a good mood and doesn't get weird he can be enjoyable, Bulldog is more consistent.  Some shows are great and some I can't tolerate at all.

Ton of variation in radio.
