I like listening to fan960 but the boner pill and dildo ads make for an awkward car pool home from my kids school

Funny how web search history makes its way to radio, isn't it?

IDK it doesn't make sense for terrestrial radio
if I was complaining about my browser ads then maybe

I guess it is the demographic for Fan960 radio, the boner pills anyway

That doesn't stop it from being funny. Jokes don't have to make literalsense in the real world or do you not understand The Far Side comic?

Nault and Gordon playing the *shocked face* cautionary role, downplaying the fun and throwing wet blankets left and right.

Get these guys off the afternoon show please!

This is "the Fan" network. The first game day of Toffoli here should be fun and upbeat. And dare I suggest, optimistic?

People don't tune in to hear these duds tell them to not expect the player to acclimate until next year.

It's the Debbie Downer show. Even their voices are depressing.

The only tones they possess in their radio voice arsenals are nagging, boredom, sarcasm and negativity.

When you make Patty sound exciting and a breath of fresh air by comparison, you're doing it wrong.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I wish they'd replace Warrener in the morning. Sometimes I'm not even sure he's there for the first 10-15 minutes of listening in the morning until he mumbles something I can't discern. I'm not sure what he really adds to the show. Much preferred it when they had Khran or Sarich. In that order.

I just can't even listen to them anymore and the sad part is SN clearly doesn't care.

Seems like not too many people are tuning in at all.

I couldn’t disagree more. He represents the morning version of the middle aged man with kids who isn’t up for Pinder’s advanced stat laden smarm till he’s finished the first cup of joe. Perhaps that isn’t your demo, but it sure is mine.

They’re mining podcast gold with that show. Run it “as is” for as long as it lasts.

His Sutterese translation today was epic.

[Hackey]

Nault is by far the worst. If I turn on the Fan in the afternoon and hear his voice I go back to music or a podcast instantly. I enjoy the morning show. Boomer keeps things light and Pinder love him or hate him I think at least has his own takes and generally knows his stuff. Would definitely welcome Krahn back.

The morning show is in another league entirely.

Too bad I'm only ever in my car with the radio on for the last hour.

I miss the first two hours everyday. Now that they drop in the podcast hourly, I start from the beginning. So happy they did that.

According to this, Flames Talk is 14th for Canadian Sports Podcasts, and Boomer is 24.

Pretty good since they just started in Jan.

Turned off post game once ol George came in. What a cringe. I bet he talks to himself in the shower.

Interesting...I listen to all three hours of the morning show each day as an overseas fan. They're great and so are their guests.

Had the Fan 960 on today while driving and listened to the Hitmen game.

Listened to the Best Radio play by play guy on the station Brad Curle. He is such a natural announcer. Good flow and very easy to listen to.

It still baffles me how he never got the shot post Peter Maher.

Wills is annoying AF. Anyone who has ever taken any professional speaking courses immediately realizes that he has no clue how to use proper enunciation, inflection and emphasis. To me it sounds like his scripted work is done to the tempo of hickory dickory dock. (Once you realize it you cannot unhear it. Trust me)
