I woke up today and didn't even realize the the morning drive was shut down. Definitely going to miss Randy and his amazing insight and knowledge on 101 espn. Wherever he goes next I will definitely be listening. Randy Karraker is the true king of St.Louis sports talk
Randy can't wait to see where you land next. I'll be listening on day one! Take care have a nice upcoming holiday season. Best to you and your family Vince Valenza
Right here is two of the best sports talk radio hosts ever that should be on a St. Louis Mt. Rushmore of Top Sports Talk Radio Hosts -Randy and Frank. Randy, Brooke and Danny Mac were incredible in the a.m. Randy has away of making newbies on the radio comfortable and interesting. No way Michelle would be on ESPN Mothership in the am if she hadn’t worked with Randy. Randy is probably the best to ever do this in our market. Thank you Randy !!
This makes me so sad. He is a legend. Perhaps the last in the lineage of the Golden Era of St. Louis sports broadcasters. The Fast Lane years with him, Dunc, D'Marco Farr, and Michelle Smallmon got me streaming WXOS out here in Seattle. Now there's really no reason left.
Bernie was trash and just mumbled and yelled at clouds his whole segment. Randy got dragged down because he made 101 hire a drunk waste of life like Danny Mac. You pay for who you keep as company. Also, good riddance, 101 needs fewer clueless boomers like you listening and texting in.
its moving towards a less fact based informative place, to a young tik tok audience... kinda sucks honestly, but this is the media style young people know. They dont want to be informed, just entertained. With the internet, perhaps they feel they can just google what they need. Losing Randy is bad. But I'm sure him and Dan M cost a lot more than those coming in... and thats the truth... they are cheaper, and no one will notice the lack of radio decorum
And I think part of this is on Dan M, he just kinda refused to participate as well...the straight man just didn't work. He didnt really seem like he wanted to be there.
@@user-by6wf6lz9uif that’s true, it may just be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Young Tik tok audience and sports radio don’t go together. Edgy, shock jock, quick hitter, hot take nonsense is for TV and social media, but the radio audience, on average, is not looking for that kind of content.
WTF are we even talking about? How is this possible? This guy is the best stl sportstalk person ever. No debate. F 101.1. F ESPN radio. Everything is officially terrible.
I could only manage about an hour of that new show before I couldn't take it anymore and turned it off. I made a point every morning to listen to their show. Randy was incredible but Brooke was also very impressive and she knows her sports. And Danny we all moved him doing Cardinal baseball. It was ad what he did and he left the Cardinals no other choice except to be fired. But time heals wounds and it was good to hear him back on radio with Randy and Brooke. That new show is about as boring as it can be. That was why when 10:00 AM came I turned him off. Now I will only listen to the Blues game on 101.1.
Disappointed they shut down the Morning Drive. What a great show. I cannot stand the TMA show, I will find something new to listen to in the morning. I cannot listen to men giggle like school boys. They sound like they are laughing at their own fart jokes. Randy and his show had class and professionalism while being extremely entertaining and at times hilarious. That's my opinion. Not everyone agrees.
I have never truly been a fan of 101 ESPN but I must say, Randy is by far and away, the most knowledgeable sports caster we have in StL radio. … A bit cringey at times but I definitely look forward to his insights. BK in the afternoon is horrendous. Wants to marry Joc Pederson if he could. RIP ESPN radio.
Noooooooooooooo!!!! Not Randy! 😢 Please keep Brandon Kiley far away from that time slot. But I bet it’s him because of how much he’s been filling in. Ugh.
Listened to his morning show every weekday and enjoyed it. Brooke Grimsley was a good cohost with him. Little surprised who is filling their slot since the handful of times I listened to the balloon party show it never kept my interest. I know Randy and Brooke will end up on their feet.
Good luck not only to Randy, but Brooke, Rocc and Dan along with Izzy (although he wasn't with the show, he got wacked too). I wish Tim the best of luck, but I have never been able to get into his show no matter the version of it. Right now, I have no reason to listen to 101. Thanks for having him on Frank.
My heart broke when I heard Randy was fired. He was be sole reason I listened to 101. What a terrible decision made by completely out of touch idiots. Wait until ratings tank after the change. I will be listening or watching what ever Randy gets into next.
Yeeeeah This was the only show I listened to on 101.1. There are other options. This new crew is unlistenable. I don't want my morning drive to feel longer than it already is. Woof.
Didn’t know Randy was gone I have loved 101 since the beginning but ever since we lost Rams then they bought rights to Blues games it has ruined station hardly any football talk and way to much hockey can hardly listen to station anymore and I like everyone on there specifically Randy and then fast lane but 14 hours of hockey and baseball can’t do it and now Randy gone he and Anthony are this station Love u Randy your the man
@@davidhollmann7193 Tough as someone who thinks ESPN and Disney remotely care about your opinion or your one viewership loss when they'll gain hundreds more of us who were tired of hearing old fashioned takes that are no longer relevant in sports. The future is now old man.
@@davidhollmann7193 heres my earlier reply... I saw the kid reply to you and just laughed... sorry...

Great guy!! Ever since Michelle moved to ESPN NY, the show lost its luster, unfortunately. Brooke and Dan just didn't carry their weight. I quit listening because the show was stale and sounded like they were reading off of note cards. Randy was very good but supporting cast just wasn't good enough.
It’s really hard to believe 101 is sports radio, lol😂 they’re more interested in comedy, as evidence in the idiot they hired a few months ago, I’m done with 101, I’m following Bernie on RUclips
Randy was the heart and soul of 101 ESPN. Now I have to find something else to listen to in the morning
Really enjoy listening to Randy, he is sports radio legend!

I am done with 101.1. They should have fired the two idiots that are on before the Fast Lane.
Will miss hearing Randy, Brooke and Danny on the airwaves but I'm sure they will land on their feet again somewhere!
Thanks Frank for giving Randy his chance at some closure with his fans from 101 ESPN....Randy...love you man ..can't wait to hear what's next
Man him and Bernie on a podcast would be awesome!..
Yeah everyone loves listening to two geriatric white boomers rant about "the good ol days" of no metrics sports.
So true
Fuck yeah
Randy can't wait to see where you land next. I'll be listening on day one! Take care have a nice upcoming holiday season. Best to you and your family

Well said and I totally agree.

I am done with 101. First they fire Bernie. Now Randy….. I am done.
Bernie was trash and just mumbled and yelled at clouds his whole segment. Randy got dragged down because he made 101 hire a drunk waste of life like Danny Mac. You pay for who you keep as company.

I will miss Randy on the Opening Drive - Maybe Randy and Bernie Miklasz get together and start a podcast. That would be EPIC!
This man is an icon. I'm a die-hard Cubs fan, but my radio never left 101.1 because of this man. He's the best to ever do it.
Thank you Frank for having Randy on. Please Randy somehow let me know we're you land. I want to follow you. I love you, Brooke, Dan and Roc.
Will you tell Frank to stop wearing that ridiculous looking rug on his head?
WTF are we even talking about? How is this possible? This guy is the best stl sportstalk person ever. No debate. F 101.1.
F ESPN radio. Everything is officially terrible.
Sometimes even the best get fired. Good luck in the future, you are one class act.
Thank you Randy
Randy Karraker had so much class.
Always a class act. They didn’t deserve it. I’m going to miss them.
Just breaks my heart what they did to this legend. No warning. That’s cutthroat.
I could only manage about an hour of that new show before I couldn't take it anymore and turned it off. I made a point every morning to listen to their show. Randy was incredible but Brooke was also very impressive and she knows her sports. And Danny we all moved him doing Cardinal baseball.

That new show is about as boring as it can be. That was why when 10:00 AM came I turned him off. Now I will only listen to the Blues game on 101.1.
Adding Dan to that show was the mistake. He never followed the show script and didn’t participate in the little fun things Randy brought to everyday.
Yes 100% agree. He was a crabby cranky old jackass. He really needs to get to a meeting
Can we get the Randy, Frank, and Bernie show somewhere!!!
Disappointed they shut down the Morning Drive. What a great show. I cannot stand the TMA show, I will find something new to listen to in the morning. I cannot listen to men giggle like school boys.

AWESOME show all 3 will be missed
I left st louis area in 08. And Frank literally looks like he did then. Very impressive 😂
I have never truly been a fan of 101 ESPN but I must say, Randy is by far and away, the most knowledgeable sports caster we have in StL radio. …
A bit cringey at times but I definitely look forward to his insights.
BK in the afternoon is horrendous. Wants to marry Joc Pederson if he could.
RIP ESPN radio.
Worst news of the the year for me. Morning routine for years listening to him. Hope him and Danny Mac start a pod
Noooooooooooooo!!!! Not Randy! 😢 Please keep Brandon Kiley far away from that time slot. But I bet it’s him because of how much he’s been filling in. Ugh.
There is a HUGE market for Randy Karraker
Listened to his morning show every weekday and enjoyed it. Brooke Grimsley was a good cohost with him.
Little surprised who is filling their slot since the handful of times I listened to the balloon party show it never kept my interest.
I know Randy and Brooke will end up on their feet.
Nope
Good luck not only to Randy, but Brooke, Rocc and Dan along with Izzy (although he wasn't with the show, he got wacked too). I wish Tim the best of luck, but I have never been able to get into his show no matter the version of it. Right now, I have no reason to listen to 101. Thanks for having him on Frank.

ESPN f'd up

101 messed up for sure.
He was the last guy in town to figure out the Rams were moving
Guess I'm done listening to ESPN in the mornings...
Start a podcast.
Welp, there goes the last sports show worth listening to. Done with 101.
Good riddance, bye boomer.
👍🏻 tough guy

that kids gonna get his marketing degree and then wonder why he has to be a cashier... its all good
Did he get Fired ABOUT A WEEK BACK, lol

Randy was very good but supporting cast just wasn't good enough.
Corporate radio sucks.
cannot stand Tim Mckernan. I will not listen to 101.1 anymore
It’s really hard to believe 101 is sports radio, lol😂 they’re more interested in comedy, as evidence in the idiot they hired a few months ago, I’m done with 101, I’m following Bernie on RUclips
Disgusting station did them dirty
Part of the business bye DM
Wtf?!
That morning show was just so hard to listen to. It’s not entirely their fault. The Cardinal and Blues can’t cover a 12 month sports cycle.
