Whitt's End: 10.8.10

• First of all, I vote for Pink as the best 4 letter band, and secondly, The Hardline doesnt give 2 shits about anything on theFan. Have you seen the ratings? The Hardline and the The Ticket in general have not missed a beat. So continue on boys, Rage is alright, but it cetainly is no threat

• RAGE is flawed on many levels: 1st - the name...where is the word "THE" before it? 2nd - Richie Whitt has way too much airtime. 3rd - way too much sybil and lacey (who the FUCK cares about these 2 soon-to-be-failed-strippers?) 4th - the producer 5th - lack of appropriately timed drops

• Im no professional, but I believe you just built the top point. You clearly know a lot about what youre talking about, and I can really get behind that. Thanks for getting so upfront and so honest concerning the theme matter. I truly really feel like I've a greater understanding now.

• Hold on there guys! I'll admit, RAGE is pretty good show, but it's nowhere near the old Hardline! The thorn in my side is this Armen clod! I have to change the station several times cuz I cant stand listening the to that windbag. If they would just keep him off the air! Rhyner & Greggo were good together because they had more in common. Corby still beats my ass to a bloody pulp, but I dont see RAGE [in it's present form] coming close the Hardline...oh...and Corby!

• FUCK YEA !!!! GREGGO IS AWESOME. HE IS BACK AND HE IS BETTER THAN EVER. RHYNER (SOON TO BE DEAD) AND CORBY'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED. I LISTEN TO RAGE EVERYDAY. THEY TALK GREAT SPORTS, BUT THEY ALSO BLOW UP WITH SOME FUNNY, ENTERTAINING SHIT. IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE GREAT BRUCE "JILL-BEAR" WILL MOVE RAGE TO AFTERNOONS. THEN WE'LL SEE WHAT THE HARDLINE IS MADE OF. EVERYONE AT THE TICKET ARE AWARE OF BRUCE. HE'S THE GUY THAT MADE THE TICKET, HE'S GONNA BE THE GUY WHO BRINGS IT DOWN. THAT WILL BE A GLORIOUS DAY WHEN THE HARDLINE TUMBLES, AND RAGE WITH THE GREAT GREGGO IS ON TOP. IT WILL HAPPEN...HEY RHYNER, MAYBE THEY CAN DO WHAT YOU DO, AND EVEN BETTER. BYE-BYE

• Why are people on this blog totally trashing Greggo. He has paid a huge price and now he looks like he's back. If i am the gang at the Ticket, i might be a little worried. Greggo was a huge part of that station. His shoes have never been filled. Corby is a complete joke, and Danny just wants to rip on mike. Speaking of Mike, he has been mailing it in for 7 years. RAGE is not great right now, but they are getting better and better. They are like the old Hardline...funny as hell !!! If RAGE moves to evening drive to go against the Hardline, I see a big fight, but i also see a RAGE victory. Its time we embrace Rage and put the Hardline out to pasture....

• @winecon, genius. Everyone else who the eff cares about four letter bands..I got one for you...fuck..the fucking rangers are fucking going to win the fucking alds! Hopefully today!! Pow, pow

• We're MUSE. We're from the UK. We're in your state right now. In Austin for the ACL Fest. We're playing tonight. We're better than Radiohead ever wanted to be. Cheers, mates.

• Great vid. I only have Pink Flag but it rocks my socks off.

• @Every Other First three Wire albums were genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIeOzY4NQPA

• Aqua ("Barbie Girl"), Free, ("All Right Now") INXS (duh!), MGMT, N.E.R.D, Poco (ex-Buffalo Springfield), Ratt (one of Greggo's favorite bands!), t.A.T.u. (weren't these chicks lezboz or something?), Toto, (The) Fall, Come ('90s Matador band w/ Thalia Zedek), Enon, HTRK (Sasha Grey approved!), Moby (counts?), Nico (counts?), Cher (OK these real people 1 namers don't count), Lush, Felt, Hood, Gong, Wire, (The) Godz, (The) Fugs, and of course....SNOW ("Informer")

• Hello, internet species. The answer is GWAR.

• There is no question that Nile is the best four letter band. Bitches...

• I find Maynard J. Kennan quite exquisite. Over a bottle of bubbly we engage in such discussions as Eastern European literature, Post-painterly abstraction art, Post War Italian neorealist cinema, and Neo-Byzantine era architecture. For these reasons, even though I have yet the opportunity to hear his music outfit, I concur "Tool" would be my selection. Though I may make an exception if a fellow named Bach is eligible! Ha ha ha ha, a little classical music humor for you all! Now excuse me, Maynard, Charlie Rose, Gore Vidal, and I have a round of badminton to attend to. Toodaloo!

• Tool is one of those bands everyone reveres but is massively overrated. Not that great bruuuuthhhhhha!!!!!

• Pretty sure TOOL is the best four letter band ever...I'm just sayin'.

• My thank you comment jumbled and appears above yours, Sybil. But for some more 4 letter band greatness, Mr. Whitt: Beck (if this counts, artist name technicality) Luna Smog Fuck Eels Ride (The) Band All better than Korn and Cake!! Though I will grant you Cake is a step up from Korn. As an aside, I think 3 letter band names would be much more difficult to name and it becomes exponentially easier thinking of 5 letter band names. In closing, [Robot Greggo] thattheorycannotbeproven!!! [/Robot Greggo]

• The pimple on my forehead is huge. I will never be able to score a waitress at Duke's with that thing on my head.

• It's not love: it's OCD.

• @Music Sport Fan Self-proclaimed trainwreck during's Pete's segment today. Nonetheless, here ya go. http://1053thefan.cbslocal.com/2010/10/08/pete-freedman-on-rage/

• Thanks, Sybil. I think it was funny and very entertaining. Mentioning Devendra Banhart gets a big indie dweeb thumbs up from me. And if you do a "meow meow" version of a Pixies song in the future pretty sure you're going to capture me and Pete Freedman's hearts. Keep up the great RAGE work.

• Greatest 4 letter letter band? NOFX. Hands down.

• - Rangers vs Yanks ALCS - Richie, do we really need to go back to Mavs/Heat, Mavs/Golden State. The arrogance of people around here was sickening assuming those were in the bag and just goes to show how quick people forget. It also provided Pat Riley with some nice bulletin board material for the Heat. Let's not give Maddon anything like that. It does look good BUT let's finish it first before we assume anything. - Fun baseball time - Agreed, this is a great time for Rangers fun time baseball. - Buncha teams playing tomorrow - But most of all let's go Rangers!!! - Giving up several very good/great seasons but no championships for 1 championship/ wouldn't trade two weeks with a 10 for 10 years with a two - gagreed - Cowboys over Titans - All depends on the run defense. - Hot - Kinda looks like Betty Draper (Mad Men) slutty upped. Me likey. - Not - Who's more ripped, her or Knoxy? - Wrong predictions - meh, we all get some wrong. But I don't like the assumptions that all is set. Go back to the Mavs series mentioned before. It looks good but let's win it first. - Religion tease - Speaking of teases, are you going to reveal what the "Stay Tuned" you keep alluding with The Fan is? Inquiring minds/radio junkies want to know. - Ceej and Cliff whooping ass - Hell yes, very relieved Cliff Lee came as advertised Game 1 and CJ was equally unbelievable game 2. Great job fellas. - Dirk Jersey 9th Best Seller - Germans like their bratwurst, beer, and soccer err futbol err fussball. - Cake greatest 4 letter band ever - Incorrect, the correct answer is: Ween. Also accepted: Pulp, T. Rex, Blur, Devo, Love, Them, Sade (yeah I'm a dude, and I said it), and especially GWAR. Not accepted: Korn, Cake, ABBA, Asia, Fuel, Live, Ratt, Rush, Styx, Wham. - Warsh winningest postseason manager Rangers history - Wash deserves a lot of accolades, same to Nolan, JD, and Chuck for his patience. The greatest season in Rangers history and hopefully it's just getting started. Go Rangers!!! - Dez Bryant bruised hip from bumping into photographer - You better believe he won't be carrying that photographers camera for him anywhere. But maybe he'll buy him an absurdly expensive dinner. - Catfish movie - Looks kinda interesting. But I might bump into indie film guy checking out Woody Allen's new movie instead. - Speeding, guy in front of me busted instead - If you got pulled over, would you try the "Do you know who I am bit?" Would he fine you twice as much if he's a Tickethead? - Weekend sports fun time - Will checkout the Fan Rangers post game if Hambonita is there. Hoping the Ticket has Rhynes on, but fear it'll be the usual cast and crew. GOOOO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!

• Buy two bags of corn nuts at the Love's travel stop in Dendon and get twenty free fifty yard line seats to Saturday's UNT Ark State game.

• Flip Flop Whitt "PREDICTION - Tampa's speed on the bases more than makes up for its lack of offensive pop, and the left side of the Rays' infield made 10 fewer errors than Texas'. Tampa also led all of baseball this season with 47 road wins. They aren't a sexy team, but a gritty one with playoff experience. The Rangers will hit more homers, and they're too good to get swept, but a team that played .500 baseball the final three months isn't ready to win its first playoff appearance in 11 years. Rays in 5" "The American League Championship Series -- Texas Rangers v. New York Yankees -- starts one week from today at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Peench me."

• Is this the Cowboys Bye week? When do they play next?

• Does anybody know my name? Richie - if you jinx this team by counting (choking?) your chickens before they hatch....well....you sir, shall never be forgiven! While things certainly point in the direction you stated, did the 2006 Mavs not teach you anything? Go Rangers!

• @Merkin - Still butt hurt, huh?

• @Merkin - Still butt hurt, huh?

• Richie, if you or anyone with RAGE read this can you post Pete Freedman's segment audio on the RAGE page each week? I keep missing it but enjoy the music banter and musings. I like the musings. I am a Ticket P1ish/2 but do like me some RAGE and must admit the Fan website is better and plays more past audio.

• @Merkin - Still butt hurt, huh?

• Just as in real life, Cake and Korn both turned into SHIT!

• I am not trying to jynx anything but didn't Nolan Ryan say that this team should win 92 games this year? Know how many games this team has won so far counting regular season and post season? Yikes! If only Ryan had said they should win 101 games we would be World Series Champions for sure. P.S. if you can't add it up, we have won 92 games total.

• Rooster talks a lot about his butt hurt, I think thats super gay.

• @Merkin - Still butt hurt, huh?

• @Soon to be Ghost of Richie's Radio Career.. You heard it from me first yesterday!! WWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HE-HE-HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

• Fuck�shit�bitch I know, I suck at life.

• People tend to use me when they have nothing of substance to say.

• why are we fighting?!?!?

• According to the P90X Douche, Ranger luck is the reason why they are up 2-0 over Rays. Assuming from this post he thinks the luck is going to continue considering he already has them facing the Yankees in the ALCS. Put the cart before the horse much? Whitt's End = meh

• @ apostrophe, Obviously I dont give a shit mr apostrophe, its a fucking blog, not a fucking college thesis. Care to offer anything that relates to the original blog post today? If not then just go former coppell mayor yourself tool

• stay tuned as you will see me soon on my former show's "dead and gone" segment. later, i've got to hurry and place my order @ walktallshoes.com while drinking a zima

• @Scotts Merkin: You could have used me a couple of times in that last post.

• Roosters busy, he didnt heed his own advice and poppped 3 viagara and an extenze pill for breakfast, and now he cant figure out what to do with it.

• @Rooster Just say no to drugs in general or just say no to 'the drugs' that would constitute a subset of drugs in general. Let me know soon, because I need to find out real bad, man.

• KISS, better than CAKE

• @kYle - is this the part where I'm supposed to pretend like I have the slightest idea what you are talking about? . Just say no to the drugs, son.

• What the fuck?

• @Rooster My point was that RW had the Cowboys, Mavs, & Stars to hang his hat on during the 25 years of Ranger mediocrity. Wishing for "another 11 years without a playoff sniff if they win the World Series" is not all that great. Ya'll will look like the Super Fans skit that used to be on Saturday Night Live, talking about how great that one Bears team was. I can see it now... RW: Who would win in a fight between the combined U.S. Armed Forces and the 2010 Rangers? Rooster: (talking with a mouth full of random Texas food) Rangers. Their bats would easily demolish (food flies out of mouth) the greatest beneficiary of the military industrial complex.

• @ 'u', No shit, spelling nazi, I didnt realize we had so many teachers on the blog all day long.

• @Scotts Merkin: Put me in between the 'o' and the 'r' on the 7th word and I think you will have what you are looking for.

• I prefer BUSH....as the best for letter band

• @Mishon - El Pendejo wheel be back. My siesta is the only reason you was primero. Eat sheet gringo! Viva la raza!

• Yaaay! Weekend blogging! The religion comment made me giggle. Best four letter band ever is ACDC, I agree. For your 2/10 - 10/2 hypothetical, it ain't even close. I'd rather masturbate for ten years than spend a night with a two. Sorry about getting duped by Catfish, man. That sucks.

• ACDC. Definitely the best four letter band.

• @Kyle - Dude, it's you that has no idea what your wishing for. Ranger fans have endured almost a half century of mediocrity. 10 years is nothing.

• <i>As a Mavs fan, I'd give up all those hollow 50-win seasons for the '06 championship. As a Rangers fan, I'd go another 11 years without a playoff sniff if they win the World Series this season."</i> I think you're spoiled, having never had to endure a decade of mediocrity by all of your teams. Do you really think one championship could keep you afloat if all four local teams were sub .500 for a decade? I know that's not your hypothetical, just illustrating that you have no idea what you're wishing for.

• I also hate hearing people talk about them possibly wanting the Rangers to lose Game 3, b/c they have tickets to Game 4.(RW). That is f-ing ridiculous!!!!

• No love for the Ponies?

• Damn lack of spelling correctly. Feliz, not Felix. Although Felix pitching would be interesting.

• What sort of warped scale do you use that a two is acceptable? Rosie O'Donnell is a three. A two is missing teeth or limbs or both. Spotting a 10 in the parking lot is better than 10 years with a 2. Rush is totally overrated. Cake? Good. Live? Good. Korn? Better when you're in the mood for it. Korn fans ruin it. Don't be a moron. No series is won yet. Don't go booking a trip to NY until tomorrow evening at the earliest. Justice would be you being pulled over for excessive douchery. Plus the fact you were going 77. How are you better than white pickup drivers, exactly? You would know rinky-dink working for that station and all. Still massive drive-time suckage, BTW. Could care less about Cowboys when there's relevant playoff baseball here. I apologize to the football-only tools who can't wrap their pea-brains around the Great Game. Colby hits the hill tomorrow, fans 10, Hambone goes deep, Murphy goes deep, Tampa gets into a fight in the dugout with each other like Major League 2, Felix knocks Molina on his sizable ass throwing 130 mph on a called third strike to end it, Rangers punch their ticket to the ALCS, we all rejoice, DMN puts Cowboy game preview on the front page above Rangers story.

• Me and Whitey H. won more post season games than that crazy OSB you got going now. They might notta been with the sorry assed Rangers but that's only because the Arlington strip clubs were fulla fuglies. Here's a left handed salute to all you mofo's: http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/item/149/631/319/77Ad.jpg

• Hi mom!

• "But as a dude, I wouldn't trade two weeks with a 10 for 10 years with a two. You?" uh richie, you forgot the word "gay" before dude. we know you wouldn't trade 2 weeks with a 10incher for 10 yrs with a 2incher. that said, i agree 100% on CAKE! (4got to add my name earlier) richie, call me. its been a month, babe!

• RUSH was the answer you were looking for. RUSH.

• Whoooo Freeeeaking Whooooo, can't wait til tomorrow...Me and the Husky Hammer are gonna be picniccing over by the trees in the south lot of the ballpark...y'all come over and give us a hollar. We're gonna have some pig feets and some home made tater salad..little bit of sweet (greggo) tea..maybe some collard greens if good ol Kergo will help us out with a recipe..it's gonna be like a kegger back in Boyd during the 70's...I'll have my Allman Brothers best of cd, and Hammer will have his jambox..we're gonna be living large. I got to remind Greggy not to invite that little effiminate guy that he always hangs out with now..he creeps me out with his earrings, and hat on backwards..always trying to tell me about some ol broad he almost banged..

• "But as a dude, I wouldn't trade two weeks with a 10 for 10 years with a two. You?" uh richie, you forgot the word "gay" before dude. we know you wouldn't trade 2 weeks with a 10incher for 10 yrs with a 2incher. that said, i agree 100% on CAKE!

• I hate hearing people talk about the ALCS vs. the yankees. I know that the odds are against the Rays in coming back and winning this thing, BUT it is possible. Anyone remember the 2004 ALCS? Let's just take 1 game at a time! Let's enjoy this series and if we win, then we can talk all day about the ALCS.

• Go Rangers.

• First again bitches!
