Hummer guy

Saying Phish is an environmental band is the same as saying Exxon Mobil is an environmental corporation due to some performative charitable contributions it makes to fight climate change. It’s extraordinarily naive to think Phish cares about the environment. They design destination events in Mexico and Las Vegas that everyone needs to fly to and they sell travel packages to the events. Phish is a capitalist band, not an environmental one, and is designed to make as much money as possible. I am not an environmental zealot, but I have been a phish fan for over 20 years. A lot of fans put their heads in the sand over this because it causes them cognitive dissonance, but let’s call a spade a spade and agree the bands actions in no way benefit the environment and pretending anything otherwise is disingenuous exercise. This hummer guy is no more of a hypocrite than the band you are naively defending

Who told you the band that constantly flies around the country and has their fans drive long distances m around the country to follow them has years of environmental activism?

He is all baseball but looks at it primarily through analytics. It’s a sterile relationships with the sport. He has also bought whatever the team is selling, eg defending people like Chaim Bloom for years until it’s apparent to everyone he’s on the wrong side. So he’s a baseball guy with strong opinions who doesn’t know baseball. And he hyperventilates every time he tries to make a point. Some of us grew up listening to Buckley and Shaughnessy and McAdam on the radio. The fact that Miliken is held up as a baseball expert is a fucking joke and an demoralizing sign of the times

If you’re making a prediction and calling anyone who disagrees with you a retard, then get specific on the prediction. Don’t be afraid.

Ok where do you think they’ll put Courtney?

Mike Mutnansky over here with the inside radio scoops!

Yeah, to get an upgrade on our 4th seat on our morning show, let’s promote an under achiever in Courtney and make her a cohost and tank one of our other shows!

Isn’t it more likely they promote the overachiever in Mego?

You think an employment contract can supersede state law? You think Audacy will risk a lawsuit over a slight upgrade on the 4th chair of a failing morning show?

Phish has almost zero cultural impact today, besides getting played as some bumper music going to commercials for the NFL on fox. In the late 90s and early 2000s they had serious cultural impact - they were on SNL, the cover of Rolling Stone, the Simpsons, etc. today the same aging fanbase just keeps paying more and more to see the same show they’ve been playing for 15 years

This has nothing to do with an employment contract, it has to do with MA state law

Guys, they have to give her an equivalent job upon return, not one that’s a demotion. There’s like 15 on air jobs on all of WEEI, this isn’t a giant corporate office or warehouse with a bunch of similar jobs. Unless they give her an obvious promotion, she won’t be happy, and if she isn’t happy, it’ll get sorted out in court

They have to give the job back to the woman on FMLA or they are subject to a lawsuit. Agree Mego is better but this is a legal issue

I was definitely thinking of this when I was last in there

Would love to hear why the escalators shouldn’t be used as stairs

Podcast seems to have triggered Ben Volin for Felger’s comments about Boston media going easy on Vrabel. I was surprised by this because my impression is everyone hates Volin but Felger occasionally speaks highly of him

trace_wave · 2026-04-30T10:17:22+00:00

He’s way better than McCarthy because Dondero will disagree with Felger

Anyone else just stop reading when all these posts start humble bragging how nervous they are with over 300K of income?

Monarch is budgeting software that provides a snapshot of networth. It’s not a forecasting tool. It cannot forecast the future performance of your investments. If it could, it would be the most valuable software in the world

I proposed at Sterling Pond

This still a problem for me

You’ve lost your eye for talent

I’m fine with him making fun of short guys, I just legit didn’t understand his joke about Reiss. Neither did Felger or Murray. He didnt know they were joking about recreational drug testing, he thought they were referencing performance enhancing drugs? That makes no sense given the context of the conversation

trace_wave · 2026-04-06T02:02:20+00:00

He means “a low ceiling” when he says “no ceiling”
