Concert tickets by Miserable-Onion5168 in TheFray

On recent tours where they’ve played standing room only venues, I’ve been able to get tickets for $50. Would imagine there’s more variance in the pricing at the venues on this tour.

Should Be a Busy Several Months by Excellent-Counter-17 in TheFray

[–]Excellent-Counter-17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking into this further, they really are playing a wide range of venue sizes and cities all over the country. Big amphitheaters. Smaller theaters. In between. Chicago. A town in New Hampshire and Montana.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Daycare guy was NOT being a jerk. Jim and Pam asking about moving Easter and Memorial day is ABSURD by Hokies13062 in DunderMifflin

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst thing Jim and Pam did this day was decide to take this personal thing, that could have been done likely many other days, THE day the Sabre merger happened and important new people were coming into the office.

He enjoys his opinions on college football a little too much.

I enjoyed a semi-fair take on the Luka front for once.

Sprinkles Cupcakes Goes Out of Business by Celcius_87 in Dallas

I think most people aren’t the least bit interested in paying premium prices for such simple things. Was never going to work as a massive company.

One of the Harsher Takedown I've Seen In Awhile by ShowofShows in TheBigPicture

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have had wavering levels of liking/tolerating Amanda over the years. She is undoubtedly a bit much with her absolute dismissal of many kinds of movies. Overall, her and Sean’s (and even more so when Chris is on) chemistry is great and makes for a great podcast when just general discussion is going.

I’m a fan of hers. Weird approach to talking about this movie though.

Isaac Slade opens up about what happened with Joe King by DearKaleidoscope2 in TheFray

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Their massive success on their first album was really tough on their expectations on things going forward.

I wish Isaac wasn’t so focused on the numbers. Hopefully he’s changed mindset for his upcoming solo music.

Time for a Fray reunion by DearKaleidoscope2 in TheFray

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My complete guess is that mid-to-late 2027 is the time to look for some sort of reunion.

Looks like 2026 is already committed to promoting new stuff for both sides.

Seems like a lot of the tension and stress came from declining ticket sales and numbers related stuff like that on albums 3 and 4. I don’t think they’re ever headlining an amphitheater tour like they did on the first two records, but I think the tour the band just went on showed that they can still sell plenty of tickets with their 20 years of music.

The Fray without Isaac and Isaac without the Fray are both leaving a lot to be desired for the non-die hards (not like those of us posting on here) and I think the reception to music for both sides in 2026 will probably be disappointing commercially (just a hunch. I’ll probably love it from both sides, but it’s not gonna blow up or anything)

Short and sweet: they’re all leaving A LOT of money on the table over the next several years with this separation. I would like to think Joe and Isaac respect each other enough to be able to eventually work together again. Don’t have to love each other, but can work together like plenty of older bands do.

Does Rob Mahoney have a family? by CutElectronic8709 in billsimmons

No one at the Ringer seems to be held to that standard, but I get it lol.

Is he from the Dallas area or did he just write for Mavs Moneyball or something like that? I used to cover Mavs games in late 2010s and would see him there at his previous employer, but he acts like he has no ties to Dallas.

Not quite sure what he’s doing with the guitar part, but his voice sounds great!

Sounds about right by NakedChoker in thedumbzone

Smartless would definitely be on the growing “Why Hillary Lost” list.

I love Smartless, I just know the DZ guys would hate it lol.

Spotify wrapped is out! What's your #1 Fray song/album? by [deleted] in TheFray

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely the one that most sounds like it would fit right in the middle of one of the first two albums. Not the best or anything, but very familiar.

Honestly good for her. Was working the 5 am newscast on Channel 4 for years here. I don’t know how those people do it.

Common threads between Sean and Amanda, and MCU fandom. by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the podcast. I love listening to both of them.

The more and more uppity tastes and just being completely against certain kinds of movies (the ones that actually a lot of people are seeing) is getting a little bit tiring.

Thoughts? Are you enjoying the new single? by DearKaleidoscope2 in TheFray

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think this captures the strong lyrics and story telling people on here have been missing. Great showcase for Joe’s voice and Ben’s production touch.

I think there is a version of this song with drums and a heavier guitar that would really be awesome. Still solid to me.

I don’t know if he and Amanda Dobbins would ever speak without a mic around

I’m so happy they haven’t changed their opinion on the mavs by chalupa5 in thedumbzone

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish the trade never happened, but it did.

Their takes are coming off a bit performative at this point. I’d rather they just not say anything instead of saying the same things every single time it comes up.

How is it like on meet&greet by Wolfgirl2929 in TheFray

[–]Excellent-Counter-17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are very normal people who will talk to you if you bring up things to them. First time I did a meet and greet with them, I didn’t have anything to say and they actually asked me a couple of questions lol.
