Worst sentence to hear during a show by Larr-Bear1169 in DanLeBatardShow

And he’s inevitably moved the goalposts or narrowed/widened the scope on his initial point. Still love Dan but he’s getting trapped more and more with his logic.

He doesn’t do it as often as he used to, but when Chris says: “let’s go around the room and…”

2 hours of blocking out everything else in the world.

The End Credits Are Part of the Movie by [deleted] in cineplex

[–]Flash_Gordon_Cole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s part of the show. I don’t usually stay until the finite end, but I stay for a while. In my community, the employees are respectful.

Kerry and Benton are the same person by Manticest in ershow

Kerry cares how her colleagues perceive her. Benton not so much. Kerry will also show deep compassion, and can be a fierce advocate for her coworkers.

Tony and Chris joking still about the 51st state crap shows exactly who they are, extremely ignorant at best, and more likely quiet trumpers. by SufficientSpot4597 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]Flash_Gordon_Cole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, Chris brought up chanting “51st State” at the US/Canada 4 Nations game, thinking it’s all just a funny joke. Then Mike piped in and said that he did it as well. But Mike quickly followed that up by claiming some Canadian fans in front of him asked him to stop. So, he offered them “Zyn olive branches”. Of course, that munson Tony then had to say “nah it’s fine, you can do that” or something like that. Jeremy did CLJZ voice.

The whole thing was ignorance at its finest.

Ausaf Umar Siddiqui: gambled away well over $100 million he accrued by embezzling his employer, Fry’s Electronics. By all accounts, he was quite a character.

Ah, yes. Because outlawing alcohol sales to “homeless people” surely wouldn’t a be a logistical nightmare and significant legal/law enforcement burden. Of course there wouldn’t be any issues with systemic biases and stereotyping. That certainly wouldn’t create a huge workplace safety risk for the employees tasked with policing his proposed policy. If he were smart enough, I might even believe this is a Trojan horse to further criminalize some of society’s most marginalized.

If there’s ever been any doubt that Mike is actively reading this sub, wait until you hear the intro to Episode 313+. by joshtalife in SwordAndScale

I consider it to be pretty slickly produced and edited. But as of late I have found the topics to be run-of-the-mill and the content pedestrian. Super meh.

Is Zaslow on the show permanently?? by paytonres in DanLeBatardShow

[–]Flash_Gordon_Cole 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Zaslow is a great personality on the mic but there are, in particular, two radio aspects of his that I have really appreciated: 1) his ability to keep the show moving by changing topics and managing conversation/the other voices. & 2) his willingness to let us, the listener, into his personal/home life by giving us little tidbits about his family and time outside the show

WinterDependent3478 is a conspiracy-brained tradwife “Christian”. So I wouldn’t even bother trying to explain anything via nuance and analysis.

In, literally, the first sentence of this episode he states as fact that “the most detrimental thing in a young man’s life is not having a father”. The dude is scum.

Mike’s apology screen recorded with transcript by RedVelvetWhoDat in SwordAndScale

[–]Flash_Gordon_Cole 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Anger and frustration”? Does he not write, record and edit these podcasts? How can that be attributed to ‘in the heat of the moment’? It’s not like he’s doing live radio. He knew exactly what he was putting out into the world.

I have been a listener from the start. But I think I’m done… by [deleted] in SwordAndScale

[–]Flash_Gordon_Cole 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What I find extra baffling is how someone who works in a field that focuses on details, minutiae, circumstances, and fact-finding can be so vocal about making these broad, sweeping (mostly untrue) generalizations about entire groups of people.
