OMG...
 
...Bob Dancer finally stopped talking 19 minutes into the 1st show without Frank Kneeland. I need to give it a few more epidodes to hear how Bob and Richard mesh, but first impressions are that the show sucks without Frank Kneeland. So far it's been like "listening to paint dry."
 
Frank, I always thought you were a little goofy on the radio, but your wit and charm was the perfect balance to Bob's monolithic drone. I'm sure I'm not going to be the only one who notices this. I wish Bob and Richard good luck on the show, but I'm sure your future just got alot brighter Frank. Good luck dude!
 I definitely agree with that assessment. Someone here said Bob might not have a radio face, but he for sure does not have a radio voice. I think the show, with Frank, had a chance of being syndicated with all the casinos around the country. Not a chance in hell now.

Entertainment is not now and never has been Bob's main focus with the show. He wants to pump up the INFORMATION value. Richard should be more informative based on what I know of his credentials.The only thing I contributed during my six month run to the hard gambling information was The Team Training Techniques and the psychological & scientific tidbits I thought had VP applicability. On most of these points Bob disagreed and thus saw me largely as a non-contributer. I can't dispute this because most of what I offered was unproven and un-tested. It was my hope to spark testing and research, but that did not happen.Sure, I added humor and entertainment value to the show, but that was never Bob's primary goal. Next time you listen, see if you learn more, rather than judging the show on laughs. It's not supposed to be that kind of show.~FK

For any show of this type to maintain viewer appeal it has to provide a balance of education and entertainment. Otherwise it will eventually fade away.
