After going into this show with an open mind I an now ready to permanently classify it as a complete train wreck.


Mac and Spiegel sound like a couple of carnival barkers taking turns seeing who can yell the loudest.


And after all these years is someone ever going to tell Mac that trying to sound like the second coming of Chet Coppick is NOT a good thing. That's exactly who he sounds like, a self indulgent blowheart.

And maybe just maybe Mac can do a little research about sports before going on the air. Would it have killed him to spend 15 minutes on the internet introducing himself to Carlos Boozer so he could've at least pretened today like he even knew who the guy was, let alone how he plays? Its not like he didn't know the topic would come up this morning.

When it comes down to it, mac really has very little knowledge about sports other than the White Sox and Bears. He pretends to know hockey, but he really doesn't have a clue about the game.

The only things Mac likes to talk about are classic rock and gambling, the latter of which just makes him look like a pathetic degenerative addict.


And lets not even talk about Spiegel, I still have no idea why he is on the air or what he brings to the table other than his annoying carnival barker voice.


When I get in the car to drive to work the last thing I want to hear is a couple morons screaming over each other. It startling the difference in quality between this show and Waddle & Silvy...like night and day.


The one years audition can't end soon enough!

See, Tiny knows what I'm talking about.

As i was writing it I knew I had it wrong, but i also didn't care enough to change it...and for some reason I still can't remember what the correct term is..so I'm sticking with Blow Heart.

Mac hired Spiegel in order to capture the effect of his own laugh in stereo.

Can't wait until Stu Gotz, Degen Dave, and Eaglo Jeff read this....

I always knew Tiny was carrying his arrogant ass

There's just no call for levying that kind of a charge, particularly in polite company such as this ...

speaking of train wrecks, I listened to CJH yesterday afternoon and they have a segment where they throw a dart at the map and then talk about sports in the place where that lands. This had Harry written all over it.

I think that is the same way that Justin Craig picks his on air talent.

From the postings of Mac/Spiegel here, I expected that Spiegel would challenge Mac more, but I really haven't seen it happen often. Of course, it may be hard to challenge the guy whose name is on the show and you're just the "along with Matt Spiegel" part. MJH had equal billing, and although everyone knew that Mac ruled the roost, there was still a perceived equal role for everyone on the show.

I'm not sure the show itself is a train wreck because I can't listen as often, though for the most part, I liked what I heard the week I was on vacation. To me, the real train wreck was the decision to take over the midday time slot. Ridiculous.

Mac can spew whatever stats he wants about how middays have changed in terms of listening habits, but as someone who can't listen during that time slot due to being at work (though I can slide in visits to this site, at least for now ), I have absolutely no interest in listening to the podcast later that day or the next day or whenever.

There are only so many hours in the day I can devote to listening to stuff that even the draw of Mac being back isn't enough to change my listening habits. I doubt I'm alone in that thought.
