8:03 AM Turned Off Radio from Mike North Finleys Grill room Ranting Commercial. Thats a full 3 minutes of North, but as Annies says "Thanks for listening"

I have never been to Finleys nor do I know what it is, but anything that North endorses or promotes I think is second class.

David Spada? Closings? DUI? which one? Does he do windows too?
JDS financial? 110% loans?
The Diamond store in the Mall?
The little guys? (Who I noticed don't advertise so much with North anymore? Maybe they stepped up in class)

lets not even get into all the people Mike cut side deals with to get a discount from them? Maybe

Park Ridge car Wash, Hobby Shop, LV Broker chick, Garage clean out company, Cabinet guys and I am sure I forgot 20 more

I would not even think of using or eating anywhere this disgusting peice of trash recomends.

PUT IT ON THE BOARD YESSSSSS!

You forgot about "Home Owners Bargain Outlet" where you'll always find it for less.

I'm sure Pappyland has custom Amish made cabinets from H.O.B.O.

The only way to counter-attack is to email or call his advertisers and politely tell them they are idiots for paying to be on his show, and that you will never, ever use their product as long as they advertise with him. (And if you think the advertiser might be Jewish - send him the Fritzy story from the Suntimes!)

A simple answer to the title of the post--YES, it really is that bad. No wonder so few waste even a few minutes listening to this crap. There has been no ratings boost since inception, there is no apparent reason to attract an audience, but I'm sure keeping score will come on here to say differently. But he is in fact clueless to the basic reason people listen to radio, to be informed and entertained and this show provides neither. Cancel it.

I actually listened for a few mintues each day during the world series. arguably the most exciting times in Chicago sports in a decade and the Papi was as dull as ever -- he sounded tired and seemed more interested in how Fox was covering the games.

Greenie did a much better job on MVP and actually kept me tuned in for the better part of 30 minutes.
