Whenever Mac is doing a radio interview, if a guest goes on for any length of time, Mac makes this "smacking" sound, indicating a parting of his lips as he prepares to speak (usually followed by a barely-audible inhale, also as if in preparation of speaking). From what I can tell, it's intentional, and he uses it in an attempt to signal the guest to hurry the fuck up so he can talk again.

It's fucking annoying. Stop doing it all the time, Mac.

Random Mac complain #4. Whenever he does tranny with B&B, he sounds so disinterested. There have been times where he will try to end the tranny at 1:10 and then Meatpants and Bernsie will get into some debate that will run it an extra 5 mins, much to Mac's chagrin.

or the interviewee saying "yes danny mac" "no danny mac" 33 times in 4 minutes.

Yeah. Dude has no stamina. Maybe he needs to re-up that viagra prescription. Seriously, you can't "go" 15 minutes? He sounds like he has one foot out the studio for the entire duration.

I think the "I'm going to impress Bernstein today!" act by Meatpants causes this.

They should do a 15 minute transition between Bernstein and Meatpants, and then shut both mics off and let Boers and Mac do a 5 minute one. The Boers/Mac one would be a lot better.

Come on Mac, that was just terrible today. After you gave the ending credits to your show, you introduced Bernstein and Goff and you were not heard from again. Tranny ended at 1:12, without you even saying goodbye.

hmm. mac and berns relationship strained (again)? mac only does tranny as a favor to buddy boers?

boy, these fuckers are thin skinned.

I don't think they are at odds, it was just that basketball talk was the topic, and Mac didn't want to have anything to do with it.

I think Mac had a tee time, Spmack. That's why the tranny was short today.

So is that a valid excuse, SHARK?

Then skip tranny. State you have somewhere you have to be/want to be and cut it short. The only thing worse than having nothing to say is not wanting to say anything. It comes through the radio loud and clear, and it isn't a good message for the showgram.

Mac is terminally lazy, and certainly not very bright.

For a weekly celebrity columnist, Dan McNeil drops Tribune references on air as thickly as whitewash and owl pellets litter a hemlock roost.

UH OH!!!!
