Why does Jasmine have a job?

I am not in radio, so maybe I just don't get it. It seems to me that she could be replaced by a soundboard. All you need is a machine that can make the following sounds, and you could replace her without anyone even knowing:

Anytime an animal is mentioned, you need an "AWWWWW" sound.
Anytime someone of Middle Eastern descent is mentioned, you need a "HEY!!!" sound.
Anytime a female is mentioned you need 2 sounds: if she was mentioned positively, you need a sound that says "She's hot!", and if she was mentioned negatively, you need the "HEY!!!" sound.
Anytime food is mentioned, you need the "MMMMmmmmmmm...." sound.
Anytime something remotley "blue" is mentioned, you need a "Now, guys!....." sound.
That pretty much covers 90% of what she says in a given day.

I just don’t understand why someone like Jagger, who seems to be very knowledgeable about the radio business, would hire someone so devoid of charisma and talent such as her. It just doesn’t make sense. Come to think of it, he surrounds himself with very sub par sidekicks. Jasmine stinks, Mondo is absolutely unlistenable radio cancer, and Dean may be the simplest, most predictable, hackiest “comedian” that I have ever heard.

What are the chances of Jagger just running them all off and starting from scratch?
 
HA, seems like you listen to the show enough. If you think it is such trash why do you listen? I cant stand MSNBC but you dont see me watching it and then complaining about how much it sucks.

That's a good question, albeit a canned/standard response. I listen on and off about an hour a day because I like Jagger. I listen until I get annoyed, flip it off, then flip it back on a little while later.

About the same chances of you ever finding a job in radio..

well that is a good point, but its the obvious point to point out. I never have understood why people would watch or listen to something they hated?

i cant stand the morning show at 106.1. However, i too do flip to it randomly to see what the hell goes on. But, i dont listen enough to know about catch phrases or things they say. (other than kelly wont stfu and stop bitching).

I'll say this one more time as well. I don't know why so many people come on the forum to hate 105.3. I dont think they have the best shows but i listen because i like them rather than listening to the same music over and over on other stations. It just seems people bitch about 105.3 to jump on the band wagon or to turn boards.radio-info.com to boards.105.3sucks.info.com.

After about 10:30 AM, I listen to 105.3 all day. In fact, I never change the station. I am questioning the ability of Jagger's sidekick's-nothing more or less. I consider myself a fan of the Fan (as stupid as that phrase sounds).

About the same chances of you ever finding a job in radio..
I don't think that my Masters Degree in Petroleum Geochemistry would open any doors in the radio industry, nor would I take a job in radio if it was offered to me. From reading these boards I have learned that the radio business is a miserable one filled with more than it's share of miserable people. I have never aspired to be anything but a humble listener.

So, basically you're too good for radio and just full of GAS..?

HIIIIIIII-YOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I don't understand your question. Are you asking me why I listen to radio if it sucks so much? Since I never said that radio sucks, that can't possibly be your question. So, you must be asking me why I listen to Jagger if it sucks so much. That can't possibly be your question, as I answered that in an above post. So......what was your question?

my question is if you hate Jaggers show so much why do you listen to it? (and if you come back with a smartass statement that you dont hate it) then why do you think everyone sucks and then keep listening.

I don't hate it, I just don't like his sidekicks. Like I said already (see above) I really like Jagger. I find him very entertaining and fun to listen too. He makes up more than 50% of the show, so I guess you can say that on a scale of 1-10, I like the show about a 5. For me, and this is just me, I can listen to a 5, but usually not without cringing when I hear "oh...you guys!!!" or some such. I usually either turn the show on and off throughout the day, or I have it on in the background while I work. If the show is annoying me or it is Jasmine/Dean/Mondo heavy, I turn it off and then turn it back on later in hopes that the subject has changed and they have piped down. If that's the case, then I turn it back up and listen to Jagger. Once again, I never said that the Jagger show sucks. I stated my dislike for Jagger's sidekicks. One does not equal the other, and you assumed it did. I don't know why. I could see asking me your question if I said "The Jagger show sucks and I listen to it", but I didn't. Odd.

There is also the car crash/freak show factor to consider. You know, where even though you know it is a tragedy you can't help stealing glances. For me it is Glenn Beck's radio and TV programs. Pure crap, but damned if I don't sneek a peek every now and then.
 
The show is a mere shell of its former self. Personally, I love the entire crew. However, I miss the games (all except "Can Jimmy Do It?"), I miss the heckle-tron, Sam, Slow Chris, Little George etc. And Jimmy & Jansen don't get any mic time anymore. They need to bring back "Ask The PD" and put Bigby's a$$ on the hot seat.

Me either, but these forums are loaded with people who listened to RMS just so they could come here and say how much they hated it. ;D :D ;D

ROFLMAO ;D :D ;D

So true, that is funny.

There are a few exceptions here, but very few. :)
 
The criticism of a fan is always infinitely preferrable to the criticism of a hater. It's unfortunate when fans cannot mention something that they feel detracts from their enjoyment without being told to tune out altogether.
