I was told to stop listening if I dont want to listen to Leary.

To quote Bernstein. For me this show is beginning to get "Fun Bad." As much as I can't stand it I'm listening to it in the same way I used to watch "Saved By The Bell" back in the day. Now if we could just get Kelly Kapowski and Jessie Spano on the webcam it would all be happening!

He's mentioned it plenty. He also mentions a lot of dumb shit that further brutally bludgeons the show to death.

Just fucking terrible. Maybe Mac is using the drop (at least I hope they're dropping) in ratings as leverage.

Leverage? LOL

Mac has NO leverage. He stopped showing up for work again and you think he has leverage?
Now that is funny.

The ratings will be leverage.

Not enough to bring back that headache. They will try to develop a new show, Mac isn't
worth it. Heck, maybe Larry boosted ratings. LOL

Mac is just far to lazy to produce a good show anymore. He is still living in the past, both with his music and with the idea that those big money deals are still out there in radio.
Just ask North about it. At least North hustles and works at trying to get back, while Mac pulls
the old "feel sorry for me card" again.
Not many stations want to bring in giant headaches and Mac has almost run out of places to go, none of which will offer big money deals for that risk.

I also thought the same thing a while back as well. Then I saw the video stream and I realized that Matt is better in the #2 chair taking up the slack, offering the factoids, keeping the conversation going, being a wall for Mac to bounce off of. He is a radio "partner" and a complementary presence.

Mac was the lead dog and liked/needs the second fiddle, the way a strong lead guitarist needs someone to hit the right rhythm riffs to give texture to the sound.

Larry is not a good complement and he doesn't mesh well with Meat, which is evident in the way the show sounds and even more so when watching the stream. The first show where Meat is with anyone other than Larry and the difference will come through immeadiately.

A signature PTFB moment for me. The phrase "Man Card" being used in conjunction with "Super Mario Brothers." That is beyond lame. What next? His cheats for winning at Legend of Zelda?

Bowen talks out of his ass. There is no standard terminology, just common references, and even that is loosely construed. His whole focus is from the safety's point of view, he doesn't know D-line play, and the next time he criticizes a defensive call will be his first. When talking about offense he just makes it up as he goes along, and veers back to how playing safety.

He has locked down the void of Hub Arkush becoming a second tier radio host, he can proclaim where he played his ball and yet he he doesn't have to answer any inane questions from callers, just radio hosts.

Every day Holmes sounds more and more that he feels this is permanent, and he'll be leading the who, not just working with a partner. His attitude today - way over the top and always over talking Matt - made me feel that he's been told that this is his and to keep on driving the show ( right into the toilet).

Nice call and great work in this thread, NCM. It feels as if Bowen is just reading stuff out of a "Football Jargon to Sound Smart to Idiots" books. None of it is even real.

"Guys, you know, that play I like to call a "dead right wheel" and what I mean by that is, ya know, you have all your players run routes and go right to hit their landmarks which are Sigmoid, Dune and Mr Hollands Opus...."

And Didea (if that is who he really says he is.....) is right on. Holmes has the demeanor of someone who knows or has been told outright that it's "HIS SHOW" now, from almost day 1 he has taken total control. Bad.
