Bobby Digital posted:Bantamweight = 118 lbs Yeah, but the lighter classes tend to use footwork and dodging and such. Once you start getting up into the heavyweights it's all ALL PUNCHMANS ALL THE TIME! There's been a few exceptions, but, if I watch boxing, I want to see bob, weave, punch, bob, weave, dodge...

The lower weight classes in the UFC tend to have my favorite fights. See good stand up, but also really technical grappling. Plus dudes aren't allowed to get knocked out and get back up.

You clearly don’t watch boxing. Featherweights and poo poo are typically two tiny Mexicans bashing each other in the face throwing a hundred punches a round until the ring is covered in blood. They’re great fights.

Glazier posted:Double schad since the Bears still get 2. Haha, I didn't even notice that on my fist few viewings of it. I was too distracted by 85 missing his block entirely, and then moving behind another teammate rather than chasing the guy. A very strange play overall. I don't live in Pittsburgh, so don't get much Steelers news, but I wonder how many people are blaming this loss on the anthem protest.

Glazier posted:Double schad since the Bears still get 2. It was actually a really weird play where the Bears got the ball at the 1/2 yard line with 0 seconds left. They kicked a field goal after committing a false start. It was a great time had by all.

Waterslide Industry Lobbyist posted:All of these radio shock romance things are actors reading scripts Especially in Boston, Massachusetts, where this show is, because Massachusetts is a two-party consent state and you can't just call someone up and start recording the conversation without getting his consent. So either this radio station has no lawyers and a couple of really dumb DJs who don't mind violating the state's wiretapping laws on a daily basis, or it's all staged.

My sister used to work in radio, and confirmed that most of what you hear is staged. Ever listen to a radio contest where one of the participants is incredibly dumb? Yeah, that dude's a plant. If nobody's calling in, then they get two employees to do it.

It's because radio has still not progressed past imitating 20 year old Howard Stern bits, there's been no innovation or serious talent in the industry since then. Except they don't even put the effort into making the bits legit, which was like at least half of the reason Stern's were actually funny(his characters were genuine for the most part), they don't feel like putting up with all the bullshit that goes along with actually dealing with wierdos and eccentrics.

Problem is you have to actually have a relationship with the weirdos, so you can call them up and do bits with them on a regular basis. So you have these people (mostly)living off of SSI who all of the sudden are in a position to ask for money and other free poo poo, and they have your phone number and usually the delusion that they're "cast members" instead of just regular guests. These people will call the show every day, multiple times a day, and harass your staff and verbally abuse them. When you build up a stable of like 10-12 of these people the phone lines never stop, it's a neverending stream of whining petulant babies clogging up the phone lines. Stern determined that this was important enough to his show to put up with all that, others think they can just imitate it in a half assed way and the audience won't know the difference.

Luckily the UK is different which means we got a gold prank like so many years ago which is still gold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrh9hU7U7nM e:this went out on live radio, I remember laughing my rear end off through it, obviously not knowing it was a prank

CommissarMega posted:If nobody's calling in, then they get two employees to do it. Or the DJs friends. A buddy of mine was a DJ on an FM station and would call me to do "Requests" every now and then. Calling a radio station to request something is completely worthless, the DJ will always say "Yeah I'll play that" and record you. 99% of the time nothing happens, but sometimes they'll need to play X requests per block and will just run a recorded request in front of something already on the playlist. It's fun having a friend in radio. I got front row tickets to a comedy show because he forgot to do a giveaway and called me and had me fake it.
