First time post, and I suppose consider it constructive.
Mac,
When I heard you were coming back to the Score this year I was excited, I work in sales and I'm in my car most of the day. I listen to a LOT of sports/guy talk.
Financially I'm in a demo that your sponsors would love. I'm 37, love sports talk and have disposable income.
Loved the HFC, and while I tended to listen to B+B, I did listen to MJH also. With B+B, it's not so much for Terry, it's for Dan. So Terry isn't the missing ingredient in your show.
With MJH I would PTFB generally during the corney ass games, or when the talk just degenerated to high school humor.
I've been trying to like Meatpants and actually think he does a nice solo show on baseball talk etc. On your show I can't stand the fake giggle (that goes for both of you), and the constant effort by Matt to try to be "as cool as everyone else in the room".
I've been tuning in and out hoping for the show to gel, I don't know that it has.
That said, you lost me this week with the bathroom humor discussion on Wednesday, I really don't need to hear that you had to dump so badly that you let it fly in a parking garage. Really, I don't care, and it really wasn't funny. The ironic thing is that just earlier I believe you discussed how you don't like Jim Carrey slapstick humor stuff, much of which is bathroom humor. I believe that was the focus of your discussion on Jim Carrey. I could be wrong. Jim Carrey - not funny... DMCN... funny with bathroom humor?
Anyways Mac, I WANT to like the show, I want it to find flow. I'm tuning out for a while. Honestly, while I think Matt is an OK guy, and does an OK solo show it's just not working for me.
Frankly, when you worked with LH a few times I liked the show better.
I'll tune in again sometime I'm sure, too much idle time in the car but for now I'm back to S+W, Dan Patrick, or even the Herd in that timeslot for now.
Lose the bathroom humor, or at least tone in way back, and figure out things with your partner.
I'll sample again sometime, and I'm only one guy. I can't believe I'm the only one that feels this way. I want to like the show enough that I registered on this website just to post this.
