Where is pete shepherd weei

I honestly couldn't stand listening to him. I don't know how he held the job that long. EEI may be going downhill but losing Pete isn't going to hurt. Dec 22, 23, John Marzano Olympic Hero said:. Jul 16, 18, Jul 15, 2, Chicago.

Aug 1, 23, Meh, seems like a petulant dick, Honestly Riish is the only one who left so far I thought was even mildly competent at his job other then Ordway, but he had just been there too long. Cellar-Door said:. Quiddity lurker. Oct 14, That's a shame, I always liked Pete; while he could be a buffoon at times I felt he was a lot more down to Earth and more of a fan than the other hosts on that station. Kudos to him for going out guns blazing. Oct 1, 1, Los Angeles, CA. He did what many of us have wanted to do at one time or another in our professional lives.

Maybe he will team up with Ordway who is looking into podcasts and internet radio. I doubt you will hear Pete on traditional, commercial radio. At least I seriously doubt it will happen in Boston. Jan 23, 15, Maine. May 13, 1, ct. Aug 4, 28, Aug 3, 2, Good riddance. I changed the station every time I heard his voice. Dec 23, 39, Falmouth, MA. Nov 15, 41, Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills. In a way good for him but I think he saw the writing on the wall and knew his number was about to be called.

I disagree with whoever said that EEI is going down, IMO they finally realized that they are down and havn't been relevant since the TSH came on the air and have since been making changes to fix that and in radio it doesn't take much to get people back if you can find the right fit.

As I said, I think Pete saw the writing on the wall and didn't like seeing all of his buddies from yesteryear getting the axe and couldn't handle it. Jun 6, 5, Pete is entering a 10 week sandwich development course and will be fine. Sep 1, 1, Tamworth, NH. Corsi said:. Feb 21, 8, Boston, MA. Lose Remerswaal said:. The folks above my boss won't take my calls, either. That's why I have a boss, to figure out what goes on with my job and filter things so her boss can handle bigger issues they are needed for.

ForKeeps lurker. Oct 13, How can we be sure this wasn't some pathetic "You can't fire me, I quit! Nov 29, 8, ForKeeps said:. That is what is appealing about this production. We have to wait three weeks for another Manningcast.

The brothers will not return until Week 7, when the Saints play in Seattle. That has to be a bummer for ESPN executives, who have watched the audience for Peyton and Eli grow each of the three weeks it has been on air, even when games seem irrelevant. He said nothing was off the table. You have Peyton and Eli film vignettes that can be used to lead into the traditional ESPN broadcast, you have them breakdown a series or play for SportsCenter , and anything else you can think of.

Right now, you put as much of the Mannings as you can on TV. Any good idea will have its imitators. Like every major pro sport, television is a copycat league. Allan Flowers had a series of suggestions for what he could see this spawning in terms of alternate broadcasts. Weinberger also expects to see copycats. Football really lends itself to multiple opportunities, as there are so many complexities with specialty positions and moving parts.

The dynamic the two brothers have though is unique and special, always has been. Swaim says at the end of the day, what makes the Manningcast special is the broad appeal. And then there are hilarious conversations where Gronk is talking about his dog and McAfee is telling amazing stories about roulette.

They have pulled off the delicate balance of serving two distinct audiences. Remember the Presidential Election? There were polls leading up to November that asked people that planned to vote for George W. Bush how they arrived at their decision. A significant number of those that responded said that Al Gore seemed more qualified to be President of the United States, but Bush was more relatable — the kind of guy you want to have a beer with.

Crakes says the same logic can be used to explain the mass appeal of the Manningcast. Sure Peyton and Eli are smart, but it is their appeal as people, as characters, that draw audiences looking for different things out of an NFL broadcast. Everyone would like to have a beer and watch the game with them. He hosts the Chewing Clock and Media Noise podcasts.

He occasionally fills in on stations across the Carolinas. We all know those sports radio callers — someone with a hot take that makes you want to flip the dial even for a split second.

However, they do have the tendency to make us laugh every once-in-a-while. He has been in the business long enough to have plenty of inspiration to draw from. It is very clear that Carlin values his listeners and while he may have a little fun with some calls, he is never afraid to make fun of himself and that is what makes any show he does an entertaining listen. Ricky Keeler: Where did you come up with the idea to do these Tik Tok videos? Was there a particular call on your show that led to this?

There have been plenty over the years. There is a genre of calls. The way I look at it is nobody makes more fun of themselves than me. I got the idea from watching a guy on Tik Tok named Scott Seiss, who is a stand-up comedian. We all understand. I started jotting down ideas a few weeks ago, putting them on Tik Tok about a month ago. It feels like you called and said the same thing before because you did last week.

Have a point. This was just something that I did separately to have some fun. I actually had a caller bring it up to me like should you really be doing that? It is not a knock on our listeners at all. What it is is just kind of a parody and at the same time, nobody makes more fun of themselves than me. CC: I think New York sports radio callers are very similar to callers all over the country. As much as we are seen, not just callers, but hosts, like you just take the laziest take and you just do all that stuff.

I think the majority of callers and the majority of hosts that are really bringing up good points and trying to illuminate in addition to bringing some heat to it. RK: What has the reaction to this series been like from other people in the business? There are better ways to spend your time waiting on hold. In these situations, are the more ridiculous calls likely to happen or do these people always exist? CC: They always exist. Just too much of an emotional reaction right out of the gate that has actually nothing behind it.

RK: Do you prefer to do these types of shows when all the teams are winning or does it give you more content when all the teams are not playing well?

As far as this kind of content, I could do this year round. RK: If you could go back to a younger version of yourself, were you one of those callers? When I was in college, I called Steve Somers once. I was so nervous and I called up and said Hi, Chris, this is Steve and I made some inane points shortly thereafter.

Steve had fun with me and I completely understood it because I was the guy that was on the other end of this. I think it is an area where you can expand a little bit more into. Admittedly, I am not a guy who sits here and studies it and understands exactly what all the machinations of it are that different people are doing. This was just something that I was taking a whack at.

I think every bit now helps. RK: For someone who is reading this piece and worrying about being one of those callers and they are a first-time caller, what advice would you give them? CC: I would think out your point in advance. I would say just make sure that what you want to say is adding to the show.
