Maybe Greggo can move to 1300am in Austin since they just fired their afternoon host who was trying to develop a "Ticket-lite" show but failed miserably.

they would continue to fail if they added Greggo... the other guys on the show were carrying his dead weight for a long time

I think we all agree that Greggo did not run the show very well on his own, but a lot of you guys are highly underrating the things he brought to the show. He had a good dynamic with Rhyner and the guys. Rhadigan was fun today, but it just wasn't the same. Greggo was completely wheels-off and unpredictable a lot of the time.

I miss Greggo

Greggo's GONE?!

and now it's time for the #1 cop in dallas, the chief of police...

As a radio veteran myself, a huge fan of the medium, and a guy who really enjoyed The Hardline, I can't emphasize enough how absolutely vital *chemistry* is between hosts. You can’t fake “having a good time” for 14-years. And the simple matter of putting a couple guys behind microphones and telling them to "go after it" is a sure recipe for mediocrity.

The incredibly rare pairings that showcase broadcast chemistry are things of beauty to witness and enjoy. All criticisms and negativity aside, Greggo had that indefinable "it" when his talent combined with offerings from the rest of the crew. *That*, specifically, will be impossible to replace.

The fans are right to feel some loss; so are the hosts. The show, as it was, was all that many knew--and came to love--for years. It got people home at night. It gave us something to laugh about. It hinted at new things we should try with our wives--or maybe not. ;-) But in any case, it defined greatness in top-quality "guy radio."

And that said, don't underestimate what the show could become. The past is gone, Elvis left the building, the genie fled the bottle and is nowhere to be found, and Paul may indeed be dead, but the Hardline Lives. Give it time, let it breathe, and listen with interest as The Old Gray Wolf and the Snake continue to move great, "guy radio" ahead in the Metroplex. Godspeed guys, WreckedEm.

Kevin Scott?

I was thinking the same thing..........

Kevin Scott is a tard....but I like him on the air. Wrecked Em, if you're K-Scott, good luck to you.

no way. K.Scott's not married.

my $.02 is that wreckedem is the sturminator.

his email is tom1310@prodigy.net

Sturm has already posted on Texags with the username sturm1310

FAKE GREGGO just made the air!!!

Fake Greggo asking if Fake Wade likes his job.

Now that's a recipe for mediocrity.

if you guys haven't seen it, this has a great awkward moment from Gordo towards the end: http://www.wfaa.com/video/index.html?nvid=207806

I found myself gaping open-mouthed at the radio when I heard fake greggo ask fake wade if he liked his job.

'Cause she's a woman.

From the looks of this post, I think sturm1310 is actually Dan McDowell (or he at least used Sturm's username).

http://www.texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?forum_id=5&topic_id=344302

That would also explain the prior deletions. 80% of Dan's schtick is the real-life equivalent of trolling.

tom1310 would be gribble.

The +1 guy today is wearing me out.

Ken Daley

yep, not doing much for me

had to turn Ken Daley off

Rhynes + Galloway ??

I know people HATE Galloway but I have to admit I wouldn't mind hearing a week of Galloway replacing Greggo just to see how it would sound.

In reality it would probably suck because Galloway isn't the goofy funny that Greggo was. It would be interesting to hear those two bitter old white guys discussing all sorts of matters.

I just don't think Galloway would have the funny stories and would get irritated by the bits so it would be an abject failure.

Does anyone know this Hacksaw person Rhynes was talking about today?

Hacksaw is a joke name for Greggo's replacement. After Rhyner (who is dead) read the official resignation letter, he, Dan Paul and Cobra Snake were talking about who might be brought in. Rhyner said "this Hacksaw guy" and that devolved into "Rhynes and the Screwdriver" and "The Hardline with Rhyner and Cresecent Wrench". Typical shtick.

hth

Actually, I think Hacksaw is real:

Rhynes mentioned again today he'd love to bring him on and Corby mentioned how when they were out in LA Rhynes always wanted to listen to the Hacksaw. I didn't catch all of the discussion today so I couldn't tell if Rhynes was joking but he sounded serious initially.
