A couple weeks ago Mac said he was terrified. I texted asking if he was terrified enough to quit smoking. No response.

Mac thinks he had it when they got back from Az.

Parkins is the definition of a pussy. The man is ordering his fucking groceries. He is a mini Bernstein. I think he is likely to jump to a news station, if they were to offer something. Bernstein always wanted that, but I think they realized he was a ass hat. Mac has gotten soft with age. Think he knows time is ticking.

These two are really scared to death over this coronavirus. It's one thing to be concerned and tell everyone to be careful, but my goodness they are really over the top at times.

WTF, Mac brings in Shep to have him talk about his high school football days, comparing it to Jimmy Graham, lol.

Yeah, he's gone soft. The old Mac would kick the new Macs ass.. the new Mac would want to get fisted by the old Mac.

Watered down Mac is still 100x better than Parkins and Speigel. They're only listenable if they have a good guest

Parkins and McNeil are not an optimal pairing. It’s clear to everyone, especially themselves. Shit, last week Mac damn near composed a sonnet to Spiegel on the air expressing how much he enjoyed working with him. No exaggeration.

Agreed to all on here. I stopped listening with the press conferences and constant doom and gloom.

I will not judge them on being scared because everyone is to an extent and the uncertainity is bothersome to all.

That said, if I want to here the Gov talk I will turn to 780. Nothing partisan, just want a break from the non spot and what essential info am i learning hearing him talk everday while I am staying at home that I need to know at the moment Talking sports is a total diversion that his healthy.

I was a fan of ol Parko in the beginning. I enjoyed how he made the other hosts uncomfortable and didn’t give a shit, but over the last year I’ve enjoyed him less and less.

He’s still light years ahead of Mully and McDoink.

Parkins and McNeil are not an optimal pairing. It’s clear to everyone, especially themselves. Shit, last week Mac damn near composed a sonnet to Spiegel on the air expressing how much he enjoyed working with him. No exaggeration.

The deck of hosts needs to be reshuffled. With the jokers being discarded, preferably

Makes sense to me. I can see why a guy like Mac would be concerned about getting it, and Parkins is part of the blue check mark Twitter brigade that hops on every new trend, so it makes sense to me that he would be overly paranoid and act like this is a very deadly pandemic as well

And, if I heard correctly, Mac met with his therapist after coming back and his therapist tested positive shortly after.

Parkins will eventually do national shows, he lacks the depth and energy to do an effective local show long term, find the gambling talk incredibly tedious because they are basically just reading lines, even North knew you had to spice up the gambling talk with something goofy like the Bookie Priest. Radio is like many of the other slowly declining industries, guys are holding on as long as possible, trying to pry a few more years, gotta feel like the ex-writers like Mully and Haugh are especially anxious given they have already seen the likely endgame.

Yeah these two have really disappointed me in this deal. I don't need to hear their fear and doom all the time. And they love to suck off Gov Tubby constantly. On the positive side some of their interviews they have had are outstanding. More interviews. Less drama.

Mac must have gotten his wrist slapped by Mitch or Jimmy because he was very apologetic for his panic inciting tendencies today in the opening few segments, and in general was second guessing his takes on all things corona... Or maybe he’s just out of Vicodin

I’m not particularly homophobic but a few weeks ago I had to PTFB because Mac was going on and on and on about how good looking different guys were in various movie roles and I was just like Jesus Christ we get it. I would pay to hear Shep and Tanny’s real thoughts about shit like that

It was more like...This is Dottie. And this is our other daughter: Dottie’s sister. In any event...the current radio lineup needs massive change but we won’t get it. Oh well

I'd rather not hear those press conferences on a sports station, but I figured they were airing them because they didn't want people to switch to a different station to hear them and not switch back.

With the jokers being discarded, preferably I agree with this even though I enjoy Parkins more than you. What's become clear to me is Spiegel needs to be a full-time host. Either add Spiegel to Parkins and McNeil or completely reshuffle things. Bernstein needs to be paired with someone who won't compete for "smartest person in the room contest." I would love for them to bring back Rozner and pair him with Bernstein.
