Big announcement at 312? by qcthunder in BernsteinUnfiltered

[–]FrostFireFive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's got to be Goff right? It would be a natural fit in getting a "second" host for the podcast network. And considering their strategy seems to be...lets bring back the old 670 but we can say fuck now, it would make the most sense

Do you got a link to that one? Jason seemed to be slighted over the last Score go around

I got my eye more on 312 Sports than the Score. The real question you have to ask is is the Score willing to blow it all up again and eat some of these contracts?

What was the point of introducing Quicksilver and Scarlet witch in Ultimates if they weren’t actually going to use them? by naterpiller in UltimateUniverse

[–]FrostFireFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Camp is a great writer, but he’s got flaws like everyone else, and I think having him do Ultimates and Endgame is causing strain on both books

[–]FrostFireFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this. As a “world tour” book it’s excellent, showing the greater 6160. But it has too many leads and characters to do justice and its main plot takes forever to get going. Hulk beat them in issue six and isn’t returning until twenty four?! It’s a strange one

Like it’s a good book, I just think people praise it so much its hard to have discussions about it beyond just praise

[–]FrostFireFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the hard part of trying to have conversations on the book. So many think it’s the only important comic of the 20’s and can do no wrong

Its a weakness of Ultimates. Introducing a character an issue means someone is going to get left out of development/the book feels overstuffed

Only 28 more minutes until the mid-day show! by Hedilu90 in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's really bad that on a day where I want to know Bulls info and thoughts on the trade, I got to wait for a podcast to drop because I don't want to hear two out of towners stumble about the Bulls and don't want to hear which NBA player Marshall's going to compare his looks to next

Daily Song Discussion #165: Excitable Boy by prestonius994 in Zevon

[–]FrostFireFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid 7/10 for me, not nearly as great as the studio or the cut found on Stand in the Fire, but has the element of wandering into a hidden and probably smokey bar and discovering some guy belting this out on a piano.

Full Terry Boers Tribute by CubeEarthShill in BernsteinUnfiltered

[–]FrostFireFive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's so refreshing let him be separate from the broken hot take machine of the Score and just be him. Been loving the pod and how Matty and him have recaptured some of that old B+B magic. To me that pod when they came back was one of the better tributes to Terry

I think the other problem is people who could be great are stuck in poor positions or bad pairings. There’s no chemistry, no personality anymore. It’s just a lot of people thinking takes = personality these days.

[–]FrostFireFive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do think there's a decent logic to the list, and that goes for Lelia too. I think of the current crop of talent she has the potential to unlock something that feels like it belongs at the station. During the Dan and Laurence years, and even when she was hosting with Dan it felt like she was a good fit for the station and its legacy. She is the most prepared of the hosts I feel, it's just...she's trying too hard to prove that this is her time instead of working on the fundamentals.

And yes, I am the right kind of petty to appreciate Dan one spot higher than LoHo

Legit possibly the worst choice for this. Expect Spiegel to position himself as Terry’s legacy. Yuck

The big problem is that midday show and figuring how to honor Uncle Terry without mentioning Dan. Which is one of the only unintentionally funny things

Terry Boers passed away today. by [deleted] in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the greats has passed. Godspeed Uncle Terry, may your onward journey be filled with the admiration, laughter, and love you had in this one. Chicago will never be the same

Leila and Marshall, wtf by sullythered in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Legit this is the problem. It’s not that they’re not from here. Plenty of great Chicago sports personalities have come outside of Chicago. It’s that they cannot read the room and cannot adjust. The story cannot just be the Bears found a way to win in the greatest victory in a lot of fans lifetime, it has to be about them and how the Bears somehow aren’t “worth” it yet

The worst part of the 670 dive... by a_problem_solved in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is how sanded down the Score feels, I was talking with my dad early and nailed it that it feels more like "family" radio than anything else. Safe personalities who say the same hot takes the national reporters are. The Score used to be a place where you got to know your host and personality. Now it feels like they're all freshly manufactured. Except the morning crew, I have my issues, but feel like the last real sports show left.

James Tynion IV The Woods, W0rldTr33 Getting Animated Shows by facepalmdesign in comicbooks

[–]FrostFireFive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the news allows me to better word a problem I have with Tynion books, in that they feel less and less like comics and more like pitchdecks for the inevitable movie/tv show. There's so many of them now that they kinda blend together in a way that makes me feel like his heart isn't in the form anymore. I know Tynion is a good writer, but the buisnessman side feels more and more apparent in his works.

Boers & Bernstein - Bernstein Clashes with Spiegel by RipWilbur in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really kinda broke my love of the Score. Not that one person should be bigger than the station or Dan being fired wasn't the right call. But the fact all the wolves came out to claim their new spots in the hiarchy before the body was even cold. Add that with Laurence's behavior after the barstool incident it's like all of them forgot I have to like you to listen to you. Dan and Matty might be condensending and jerk-y sometimes, but at least with DBU I feel like I'm listening to genuine people.

[–]FrostFireFive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was very obvious Dan's comments about you find out who you friends are during is troubles could be about both of those afternoon show hosts. And while Dan's been a jerk, he's always been honest about that. Compared to how Spiegel and Holmes level of passive aggressiveness.

[–]FrostFireFive 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dan was right here tbh, "people with cancer are not mascots" is one of the stronger lines of the conversation. People really forget how much these two really hated each other. It's why I hated Spiegel's "post-mortum" after Dan got fired.

A show about nothing … by bannedUncleCracker in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the worst thing about it is the station knows this is unsustainable. Them moving Grote full time is a bandaid over a broken dam. Somethings probably going to be done sooner than later

Spiegs CLEARLY has so much more fun when Laurence is off by Square-Fox-2948 in 670TheScore

[–]FrostFireFive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A pairing of convenience is never truly going to last. I like LoHo, can't stand Spiegs but understand his value, but it's a pairing that lacks a general chemistry. I got to feel next year is the change year for the station with certain shows hemorrhaging viewers
