For those of us who listen to KSR every day...
- Thread starter Uncle Adolph
- Start date
Man that was quite a leap you just made, time for me to sign off.
I don't listen to KSR often but I might be inclined to try it without matt.
Maybe let Shawn smith or someone sit in. Can't be much worse and at least they don't have matts annoying voice.

Matt: “…what do you think Ryan?”
Ryan: “I think you nailed it, you’re exactly right!”
It’s interesting when they find a topic Ryan does have an opinion on, like sidewalks on Nicholasville Rd or something, because you can then tell how much he’s just sleepwalking through the rest of the show.
Confirmed today that Kyle Tucker and J Kyle Mann are hosting at some point, so that’s exciting.
If not very good without Matt, it must be horrible then. I can't stand his voice. His pre-game TV stuff kept me muting alot. Never looked for him on radio.
List the lies.
Stop with the beating around the bush and spill it already. Sheesh.
MJ has spent an inordinate amount of time announcing his elongated vacation away. And his openly fretting about the about the show, and how unprepared the fill ins are, seems to suggest he almost wants the ratings to be lower to boost his own ego. Also, saying that he reads huffington puffington post daily to prepare seems awkward.
Matt: Justice Alito is an insurrectionist.
Caller: that white flag with the pine tree is from the revolutionary war flown by G Washington
Matt: that's why we don't do politics on this show. Thanks for the call.

Shawn Smith lol. He would spend the entire show talking about how he scouts for a high school basketball program.
I will listen. Drew, Shannon, and Ryan are doing a couple days a week by themselves. Tom Hart, Peter Burns, and Myron Medcalf I think are taking one day each week. Alyssa Lang, Pardon my Take, and The Kyles are also doing a day at some point. There may be others as well. I always enjoy when Hart, Burns, and Medcalf are on so they will definitely be good shows. I think Alyssa Lang will do a good job and the Kyles have been good in appearances before. I usually skip the Pardon My Take guys. They just aren't my thing but I get why some really enjoy them. I think the show is generally better when Matt is on but he seems to have it positioned to do pretty well with the guest hosts in his absence.
I think some people would sacrifice their first born to NOT listen to the show. They would definitely risk injury racing to the thread to tell everyone how much they hate the guy.
No, half of them definitely listen. Like I said, don't give a **** what people like. The question was, "Will people still listen to the show when Matt is on vacation?"
I don't need your drive-by laugh reactions to my reply to the thread, I don't need to hear the sob stories about how much people dislike KSR. We've heard em for years now. Get a ****ing grip.
To each their own, but an hour of Shannon is too much. Five minutes of Billy Rutledge is more than too much, he's awful.
Kind of off topic but what shows are worth listening to on the radio? Is Coast to Coast AM still hit or miss? Used to listen to that on fire watch and then again when I worked 3rd shift.
… while oddly knowing every detail of a show they claim to NOT listen to.
Where are all the Billy Rutledge sycophants to contest this post!!!!
He does have a bit of a country cartoon Kermit voice. Not great for radio, but he has overcome.
Without Matt, I can't listen to them. I may tune in, depending on the guest hosts, but not with the regular guys.

Ryan Lemond is literal nails on a chalkboard to me (but he seems like a helluva guy). I may spot listen but I'll probably be looking elsewhere for my listening material this summer.
He's starring in the prequel at the moment: pretending to be smarter and better than everyone until he needs a dollar or some military protection.
I won't be listening but it gives me plenty of time for music and podcasts. Matt created something very entertaining but it fits him perfectly. For it to really work and be KSR, he's gotta be in the main chair. It's also pretty clear that his friends on the show want to play their parts, which they all do well, and not be the show. Not to mention, things are dead in the summer so even with Matt there, it would've been various bracket shows and hangout episodes. Good for Matt though. Dude creates a successful show from nothing and after several years is able to get away for a summer and travel while his friends hold down the fort.
Matt's constant humble brags like flying on a private jet with Cailpari, and going on Bill Maher's show finally made me turn listen to other stuff. Can't imagine Ryan will put in much work to make the show good without Matt there. The guest hosts and Drew will need to do the heavy lifting.
Those really aren't humble brags if you actually listened. He's mentioned the jet a few times over the years to set up that they went through such turbulence that even Cal looked nervous. Basically saying you were scared shitless on a small plane isn't exactly bragging. And fans have asked him what's the most surreal or coolest moment in his life since doing the show and he mentioned being on HBO. The guy has some neat life experience. You don't expect him, a talk show host, to mention those experiences occasionally?

F****r sounds just like Marge Simpson, then goes into a high pitched squeal like a pre-teen girl. He's gotta still be going through puberty.
