Sometimes I can't tell if Marty is just an idiot, or he thinks that it's just good radio strategy to incite listeners. Personally, I find it annoying either way and end up changing the channel

The more I listen the smarter I think he is. I think he does it just to stir the pot and get people talking, and it works.Quote:

And contrary to the M*A*S*H theme song... suicide is not painless :no6xn:Quote:

In this "I'll sue you for all you're worth" world that seemed like a valid argument. Coupled with JP's continued denials, I'd say if you want a ticket, there's still season tickets left. Or choose your tent. And just in case Marty does catch on fire, I'll start saving my ... in a bucket. :laugh8kb:
Me too. He is very entertaining. Some people are just very adept at getting their pantaloons in a wad and he tweaks them.Quote:

I would not have a problem with it because:
A) I was going to get season tickets anyway;
B) The money is going to charity;
C) The tickets would probably sell for more than most season tickets.
I wouldn't mind seeing a ton of season tickets sell and any extra seats just go empty, though.
I think sparking passion about a topic is smart and good radio if you have facts and can make an argument for your case. (which I think Deace-love him or hate him-was good at) If you are just saying idoitic things to upset people and can't back it up I find that annoying because you usually get equally annoying and idiotic people calling in to argue with you.Quote:

Agree completely. 1) You CANNOT go back on your word if you're JP and keep any credibility at all. 2) We'd never hear the end of it.Quote:

I wish I could find a pic of the actual mat but maybe Marty uses this guy's "Jump to Conclusion" mat?

As for Marty last night he got a little riled up a couple times. At least Keith didn't cut the callers off like Ken and Marty always do which allows Marty to trash talk someone no longer on the phone to defend themselves.
Yeah, murph was letting people go on and on, it was suprising. Especially when that rome wannabe called in first thing and just kept going on and on and on, wait that sounds pretty much like rome.
