Remember those good ol' days when the deal blundell show, used to pitch all that vulgarity on live radio?? What happened to it? Were they cracked down on by the board-of-directors and the CRTC?

These guys used to push the vulgarity to the edge, and sometimes over it (i remember they were suspended when steve-o came live on air some years ago)... I stopped listening to dean blundell while i was in montreal (~5 years), but I tuned into the dean blundell last week and listened for a bit, eventually changing stations when they played the same crappy nostalgic songs, and new crappy tracks by crappy artists.. but I noticed one thing - the vulgarity these guys used to pitch is gone. It felt like listening to that crappy station (92.5??) with that crappy Moka and his minion of a butt buddy; just complete garbage.
 
I got so bored of them. Their show is really repetitive. I love WHITY offensive content but they are just juvenile retards. They guy doesn't stand for anything, he's just a bully.

I couldn't agree more. I've heard a lot of funny radio, and Dean isn't funny!
 
Holy crap, I thought I was in the minority but it's good to know I'm not. I STILL know a few guys that rave about the blundell show... and I hate every second of it. It's ignorant drivel and blundell is a washed up loser.
 
I've been a Stern fan (hate if you will, to each their own) for years and when he moved to satellite, there was no way that I was going to pay for radio. I bounced around the dial and quickly learned that there simply wasn't any good morning radio shows out there. I landed on the Blundell show and stuck it out for about a year, repetitive describes this crap perfectly, and the BS stories people call in with...anyway, I sprung for satellite radio and forget often that my vehicle was built with an AM/FM receiver.
 
I have a very short commute and sometimes I put on 102.1.

I wouldn't say it's hilarious, but I find it funny now and again. The 'you auto show me your boobies' routine made me laugh, and so did getting into the on-air fight with the ugly sunshine girl.

I bet if I listened every day I'd grow to hate it, but now and again it's fun.

I agree that the music on 102.1 has gone to crap. Very repetitive and formulaic, and I think I've heard Nickelback a few times???
 
I've been on satellite radio for years now. I turned a radio on in my house the other day and Blundell was on. Now bear in mind the last time I seriously listened Jason was still with them. And they're still spewing out the same unfunny stuff now as they were then. Now whether he's had to tone it down or if he's decided to tone it down, it's time the station had a look at their morning line up. Josie Dye(sp?) is as dull as ever and as unfunny as ever. The only guy I like is Adam. I tend to catch him on Saturdays when I'm working in the garage on my bike. And Fearless Fred is okay. Although his name is crap.

+1. I like listening to the talk on 640, but I'm always getting annoyed by the stupid commercials over and over again. I can't wait to buy a new deck for my truck so I can finally get an AUX in port.
 
I've been a 102.1 listener since they were in Brampton braodcasting on a "barely there" signal in the mid '80s iir. Although the station is my default - I hardly stay on it since it became a top 40 format - or it feels like it has. The days of History of Rock and the Vinyl Museum were the best days...Allen Cross, the "Mars Bar", May Pauts and so on. Finding new artists before they hit it big was what they were good at. No longer. The Thursday 30 is all I can handle - but even that is repetative. Josie Dye (?) has some interesting compilations - esp when an artist selects their favourites to play. My listening is now 680 in the morning for the quick hit of news, traffic, weather, sports and business. Sunday Mornings and evenings it's CBC - cross coutry checkup, quirks and quarks etc....and 94.1 and 91.1 will have more alternative music than The Edge. Now I rely on my iPod more than ever. And that gets boring too.
 
I kind of lost interest after the grunge scene kicked in which was around the time Dani Elwell left. Humble and Fred with Dan Duran was their best morning crew imho. Good fan page here http://www.spiritofradio.ca/index.asp
 
Dean Blundell is good for the first year, then you realize that you've heard everything they have and it becomes extremely repetitive.
 
I've never really found Dean Blundell all that funny, rather just obnoxious and immature. But I'm a nerd that listens mainly to Newstalk 1010, so I don't know what that says about my listening preferences.

The few times I do catch snippets of the show it totally sounds like he's reaching and trying too damn hard to appeal to a particular demographic, and I don't happen to fall into it.
 
Opie and Anthony ftw!

Yup, the days in the old yellow farmhouse, before they moved into the space under that club on Kennedy (name escapes me at the moment; Starz?), were the best. Pete & Geets destroying records, on-air? Excellent. Winning $102.10 if you heard the same song played in a 24 hour period? Golden. I got so tired of the recent mainstreaming changes that I gave up and went over to talk radio, about 5 years back.

Wow - yes, remember all of that. Corus would go broke with the $102.10 prize for hearing the same song in 24 hours.

I was in the old farmhouse a couple of times, as a kid, to pick up prizes that I had won from CHIC (when they were talk, not "Seven-Nine-Oh-Disco" :lol:).
