He keeps posting about needing rest or he’s off to dome State line. But honestly, over/under on the number of times you hear Troff’d? 47 is my call... JK with ya FFS1970 You can’t have TATF without @FalconFanSince1970 - he is one of the original characters on TATF. We disagree on most things but he always makes me laugh. #iguarantee #troffed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Blank 1,087 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Sorry for John, but I never cared for Rick. He was cringey bad. Dukes and Bell is the only good show they have really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B_Lo_Touchdowns 4,744 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Wow I liked the midday show WTF. Hope they didn't get fired for calling DQ out on his B.S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whiteshoes 173 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 what are the call letters for the station? i love talk radio of all kinds and would like to listen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dawgsjw 758 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) 92.9 sucks. I used to listen to the morning show at times when driving to work (sometimes hr drive and other times 2hrs) and f*ck is the format just sh*t. I usually listen to them right when they come on at 6am and this is how it goes. 6am-6:10: They do their intros and usually talk about sh*t other than sports but during the NFL they usually start off with sports for at least a few minutes. Then they take a 10 min commercial break. Come back at 6:20-6:30 and if they talk about sports any during 6'oclock hour, it will be during this 10 min time frame. Then they of course, take another 10 min commercial break. They come back at 6:40 for the Wendy zone (or whatever they call it) which she just talks about pop culture stuff (like who F'n cares about that?), as a reason to justify her job since she isn't that knowledge about sports (at least not enough to be on a sports radio show). Then they go to commercial to close out the hour. So really, they don't talk about sports much at all at least during their 1st hour. Usually the 7-8am hour is just a repeat of that same format but I hope they talk about sports a bit more . Edited March 15, 2019 by dawgsjw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whiteshoes 173 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 yeah. that sounds about right. but being on t the west coast as a falcons and hawks fan, id rather here the same garbage but with the little hawks and falcons talk. btw, not a fan of the braves which will take over the airwaves soon.and responding to another thread... we fear your pen. love... the giants.

Spts1 6,847 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I haven't taken Atlanta Radio serious since the 2 live stews got taken off the air... Every show before and after is GARBAGE compared to the Stews... Edited March 15, 2019 by slickgadawg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kew03 92 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I always enjoyed the midday show and I don't buy the reasons that I've seen for the firings. I liked John Michaels a lot more than Rick, but listened to their show almost every day while going out to get lunch. If they wanted to shake something up, it should've been the morning show because there is NO chemistry there. It's like neither of them ever want to talk about whatever the other one is saying. I'd like to see what happens if Hugh got paired up with someone else because he seems bored and disinterested and I really don't blame him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe for a minute that the morning show has good ratings - it's like fingernails on chalkboard. John Fricke may have an announcers voice but what comes out of his mouth is stupid - he should do commercial voice-overs - that is his talent - not sportstalk - he is terrible at it.

JeffAtl 547 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Listening to the show now - it is dreadful. The hosts themselves seem ok, but their choice of topics is pretty bad. Tennessee basketball? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jarvis cracks me up and Andy is just all around good. I wish they'd take over the morning show and if Fricke and Hugh have to be on the air together, then make them the midday or preferably the night show that I don't ever listen to. I 100% agree that Fricke's talents lie outside of sportstalk radio. It won't happen, but I imagine some really funny stories would be told if Randy and Hugh got paired up together. IMO, the best things that have come out of the current morning show is when Hugh starts saying more than he intended about old Eagles drama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogIsYourName 1,069 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I liked their show. I mean I feel like the midday show and Dukes and Bell are both totally solid. Can't believe they'd cut bait with Kamala and Micheals. Those guys were funny as ****. The morning show is mediocre. Andy Bunker is too, but it's late night so what do you expect?

Randy is my least favorite on the whole station. He gets all bent out of shape just because someone disagrees with him. Rick and John had a great show mainly for the opposite reason -- they could disagree without getting mad at each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
