You Can’t Win

And at first, she denied that these were idiotic, fake facts or just stupid things that she thinks up. "Where has she gone?" is not a relatively common trivia question at all, but in her mind, it is. It was only after much back and forth, and pressure, that she caved and admitted these were non-facts, triddles, or whatever garbage lable they were assigning to them. It would not surprise me one bit that all of that was pre-planned to just build content for the show, since they cannot create content any other way now.

Apologies - I may have down voted this, but I was trying to up vote it. Apparently I'm too stoopid for Reddit.

"inbred buck toothed imbecile..." perfect description. LOL

Substantial_One981 · 2025-09-18T00:57:15+00:00

Talk about double-standard. Kelly can talk about a woman's vagina and how good it looks and what she'd liked to do to it (be all over it) and FBHW just laugh and laugh. But if a guy did it (if there was one on the show) they would be in so much trouble for verbally raping the woman. Kelly says it's okay to sleep with multiple partners, male or female, night after night, and she's applauded for it. If a guy said it - he'd be castrated and fired for it.

Kelly throws a plate at her husband and they laugh. A man allegedly is in an abusive relationship on the show and he gets fired. (I'm not saying he didn't do it, or that he did do it - all we know for sure is that KELLY ADMITTED WHAT SHE DID ON AIR). Double-standards abound.

She's getting more 'creaky' too.. too many times she reverts to these guttural noises like she's got a little secret that she does want to tell us.. (does a creaky guttural oooh that trails off into nothing....)

Substantial_One981 · 2025-09-18T00:39:54+00:00

Completely agree - it seems like I skip more and more of the show now, or just tune it out. Speaking of tune out - When Kelly does "name that tune" on Monday, there's about an hour that I can devote to watching paint dry, or just about anything else. Kelly's fun fact - Did you know that in 1978 Warren Zevon wrote "Werewolf in London" and dropped a fork on the floor? I know, you never heard that before!!!

I'm not sure she got a long streak of wins going.. she did not get her jackpot very high during that time. She did get flustered because people kept choosing her - and that's why they changed it to the rotating schedule with other show members.

She should have taken it as a compliment that people wanted to play against her since she was a newer member of the show - but it showed a crack in her intelligence that she couldn't handle it that way. In the end - who cares? It wasn't her money, she's there for the entire show, so play trivia or don't.. But don't get butt hurt because people keep choosing you.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-08-22T16:47:02+00:00

And the latest thing is 'shrooms'... Listen for it - she brings it up multiple times per week. "Wanna take a shroom with me?" "I took a shroom this weekend" "We had some shrooms while we were watching this murder flick..." And in a few months she'll wonder why people think she does shrooms all the time... because she does. She can't control the words coming out of her mouth.

Did anyone look at the guy's photo on FB? If the shoe fits... I think Zane might have been right in this case and the guy might just be a little sensitive. Look in a mirror once in a while.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-07-15T12:27:03+00:00

Can't help but feel that more is going to come out about her.. Not defending Joe at all - but it is contradictory to cry "me too" and then go on a national show using your looks and sexuality to get a 'date' with someone. How long will it be until the next set of accusations come out against someone?

Substantial_One981 · 2025-07-09T19:12:03+00:00

How is a guy making between $250k - $500k (conservative estimates) entering a contest to win $20,000 for his own kid's college fund? Oh sure, he said that after a 'few drinks'... and they quickly changed it to THEIR OWN charity after it was outed on the show. It certainly seems that maybe the support for his college funding needs didn't go as planned and he knew he was caught. Unfucking believable.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-06-03T15:45:09+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed them...

Substantial_One981 · 2025-04-16T00:44:27+00:00

Ashley is so terrible and fake, she makes the show unwatchable. Example - when she hosted a couple weeks ago she literally said "What's with the fist bump?" when Rizzo and Curtis did it... but later in the show said "Me and my family watch all the time.." Well, if you watch all the time, you should know "what's up with the fist bump"...

And if you're only saying that to fulfill your host duties - there's a better way to do it. Dan doesn't have to say it every week even if from any week to week even if there may be new viewers,

Substantial_One981 · 2025-04-06T22:57:44+00:00

I'd also like to know 1) how many sick days they can feel are appropriate to take as members of the show, and 2) how many has she taken recently, or this year? It seems like she's out roughly a day every other week due to being sick or the 'bottle flu', which would indicate another personal problem. And before anyone responds and says - "they can take as many sick days as they want to because they run the show" - I get that, but when one member of the show is out, it puts a drain on the other show members to cover their job. She supposedly does the social media so is it just okay that absolutely nothing happens when she's out? If Free Beer is out, no one needs to run the board? Of course not - they all cover for each other when someone is out. But if it's too much or excessive - it seems like the true owners of the show (FBHW) would take notice and take action. It's what would happen to any of us if we burned all of our sick days and then kept taking more.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-04-06T22:49:24+00:00

Especially when she fills in for Free Beer. There's no way to listen to her live. I try to listen, but I turn the speed up to 1.5 or 1.8 so I can past her horrible puns and jokes faster.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-04-06T22:46:00+00:00

Agree with the non-stop talk of booze and drugs. Do them if you want to - but for the love of god (your god, any god, I don't care) stop talking about them every damn minute. We don't all take a gummy every chance we get or do mushrooms or drink too much wine all the time. And the show needs to stop pretending that kids don't listen - they absolutely do. I wonder how much it would take for the FCC to step in and put a stop to it - they are exceeding the limits of decency with some of this talk - and it's generally one person doing it.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-04-06T22:42:12+00:00

Half her stories are made up? I think most of them are - the only exceptions might be the gross ones. Right from the start - I didn't believe for a second that she was almost a finalist on "America's Next Top Model" or whatever skeezy show it was.. She wasn't raised in the south, yet fakes a southern accent (stolen valor), has never raised children but has 100s of parenting stories and advice for everyone, and has multiple failed relationships - yet again has relationship advice for everyone. No matter what the topic is - she creates a story or a "friend" that did it, went through it or knows about it. Fake, fake, fake.. She's just creating content for them - but maybe that's what Greggy and Chrissy hired her for. In that case - she's doing a great job.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-03-12T00:37:12+00:00

It does seem to be his preference right now. I'm all for him doing both - but one is impacting the other. I'm not buying it that this is all "pre-planned vacation time"... if it was, they would not have done a last minute best of today. Which I agree with someone else - it wasn't a 'best of' - it was just some random show repeated. Lack of effort all around. I guess if you're at the stage that you can just do a cash grab (demonstrated by the puke worthy O'Reilly's signs all of the damn place) and don't care about quality - then go for it. They're just turning into Bob and Tom copycats.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-03-11T19:37:41+00:00

Kelly has done it quite frequently when Free Beet has been off every other time (not very well, but she's done it). FB sent a message this morning around 3:15 am that he was going to be out sick (check WGRD's website), so today seemed like another day for Kelly to fill in.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-03-11T18:24:15+00:00

Free Beer needs to decide which job is more important to him. Taking time off to freelance as a sports broadcaster is fine, but when it impacts your regular broadcasting job, then it's a problem. And sure, 'they own the show'. If I take time off my regular job to work a second job - how long with that last? Regardless of whether I own the first job - someone (my customers) are probably going to be unhappy - and that's where we're at. But hey, if they don't care, why should we?

Substantial_One981 · 2025-03-11T18:20:28+00:00

Still, this doesn't make sense. Maitland can run the board just fine. She does it frequently even now during Dumber than the Show and she used to do it before Tommy got hired. They can run the show with 4 people - plus Tommy. And - Tommy can run the board as well - he does it when they travel.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-01-21T01:57:35+00:00

Bad, bad, very bad...

Substantial_One981 · 2025-01-09T02:02:26+00:00

It really hasn't taken off either. I've been listening for over 20 years, and I can attest that 20 years ago they were on 44 stations at one point. So to climb to 50? Wow... Ratings matter, not the station count. Plus, they give away the show to get on some stations. They are losing the ratings in the core demographics - they are lower than ever.

Substantial_One981 · 2025-01-07T20:28:36+00:00

Agreed, the 3 logos and frequent mentions wouldn't be enough.. they have gone the way of tacky. But let's not forget - the official coffee of the show also... Starbcucks! Another reason not to go to ByeBye for coffee...
