RIP "evil" Bigby.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

So I'm just now reading this Detroit News article. So the article says that Bigby is the reason for:

" ... heavy on callers, light on guests, and non-sports talk wasn't just allowed, but strongly encouraged ... ".

Honestly, I'm not a fan of "heavy on callers". Most callers pretty much suck.

I agree. Callers rarely say anything insightful. And many times they sound bad because of being on a cell.

Most of their callers sound either drunk or high.

Functional, working adults don't have all day to wait in a queue to speak to a sports jock. The very model lends itself to mostly derelicts calling in.

Yes, Tom worked at Musicradio WXYZ in the mid 1970s. There is an aircheck of his on www.mcrfb.com.

Most callers sound like they're mongoloid. I've turned the volume down on numerous occasions listening to the Ticket
