Drew Garabo "In Your face" Listening Thread - August 2013

[Chob]

Hey man, we need to stick together. Just ask my boy Geo.

[SJ]

I thought Geo grew his hair out?

[Tuddle]

You know the show better than just about anybody, Tuds. You know I have nothing but love and gratitutde for you. If the show expands in the future time-wise, I would certainly be open to bringing people in. I do enjoy having people to work off, but only in doses. At least for now.

Finnegan is one of my favorite all-time guests. His musical trivia prowess surpasses mine and Mark McGrath's combined! SJ, I do appreciate that you think the show was "better" with Tuddle. Like you said, there's no right or wrong, there's no better or worse, there just "is." Thankfully, the ratings are great right now. I appreciate you guys weighing in on the show.

[QUOTE=Chob;822614]I think it was a great era of the show, but post blow up, I don't think the dynamic would be the same. There would still be tension no matter how much time has passed.

I've said in the past, regarding radio fandom, that when things are going well and you're really enjoying a show you need to occasionally take time to sit back and enjoy the moment because, in radio in particular, things tend to change very suddenly.

I usually agree with most of your comments, but have to disagree on your view of it would never be the same. I can be professional and do what ever drew would ask of me evening it was just behind the scenes. The first time working with drew at night I didn't appreciate the opportunity to work with him. The second time around I knew what I had which is why it sucked even that much more that I got fired. But i don't see how you can say the dynamic wouldn't be the same. I thinking would only be better because I would fight everyday for what I had and wouldn't screw it up.

I've said it before if I had an offer from every radio show in the United States I would pick to be on In Your Face with Drew Garabo. By far the most fun radio I've ever done. Now that I've sounded like a bitch you can commence to making fun of me.

Three cheers for one Drew R. Garabo

Hip hip hooray
Hip hip hooray
Hip hip hooray

[SJ]

this is where my opinion and Tuddle's differ.

I still think we, as the audience, got the most from Tuddle when he was on with Spice. Spice allowed Tuddle to step outside the wheelhouse a bit and try some new stuff and 99% of it was gold.

I do agree with you that I had more of an On Air presence with Spice because he would turn me loose. I'm not saying one show is better then the other it's just in Your Face and the Spice Show are two completely different animals. I think both host are able to get the most out of my limited on air abilities. Just an example of how good Drew and Spice are at getting the most out of the people who work for them.

I was listening back to some Shannon best of with Colin and realized just how short the period was when we had those two as a team uncensored, but I know how much of an impact those few months had on fans.

If you ask some Stern fans what their favorite era of the show was, you usually get an answer that only includes a few years of a career spanning decades. And that's a period much longer than what people would describe as their favorite eras of other shows, although he has had a lot larger of a fanbase and has had a longer career than most.

I don't know if this hardcore ADD is a phenomenon exclusive to hardcore radio fans, but I've found living in the past tends to not enjoying much of anything. I think it has a lot to do with being a medium that relies on being fresh and spontaneous for a few hours, typically five days a week. You don't get that anywhere else. It's what I and many others love about the medium, but it's what burns out a lot of others fairly quick.

I hope I made some sense in that rambling diatribe.

Better luck next time.

Tunein calls this the Drew Garabo Show.

If you drink, don't drive. If I even have a sip, a drop, I'm not driving period.

[Ace]

My brother and brother-in-law have 6 DUI's between them, that shit ain't pretty and it's really not worth it in the end.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

Absolutely Drew would have been raped in county lock up.
