Mancow does some sort of "show" from the first floor of a building over by my gig. I can honestly say I haven't listened to one minute of anything he has ever done...

I used to have to walk by his "show" when the studio was in the Merchandise Mart. He had like 5 people standing around talking into their mics whilst he was on air. There was one incredibly hot chick of the five. Every day she wore half shirts showing off an unbearably hot tummy. I couldn't listen, but I definitely stopped and stared. Kind of embarrassing really. Still have no idea who she was, then they canceled his show. :(

I remember when Mancow supposedly sent out Turd to Dahl's house in Mancow Mobile One to search Dahl's garbage cans for "extra" cocaine that Dahl had thrown away. Apparently Dahl was listening and he came outside to confront Turd. Dahl was listening to Turd go through the garbage cans at "Steve Dahl's house", yet Dahl was standing on his own driveway and Turd was nowhere in sight. Theater of the Mind. The funniest part of the whole thing is the concept of "extra" cocaine.

Lots of turd's in Western Springs, how would Dahl know he had the right one?

That's what I saw today. A hot chick, a few other people, and Pappy. Mancow sits, the others stand. It was on WPWR.

I listen to his podcast. It's kind of like Wally Phillips actually. He's not lazy, though. He tries his best but not many people want to listen to a sober 55 year old.


Your tellin' me!

Yeah, that would be much worse. Dahl is nothing if not genuine. And I'm sure there are plenty of people who were teenagers in 1979 that grew up with Dahl, became more conservative as he did, bought bigger homes and more expensive cars and took up golf as he did the same, and raised their families at close to the same time he raised his. I'm just not one of those people. Dahl isn't a phony. I respect him for that. He just has to deal with the fact that the 55 year old guy generally isn't going to be as passionate about his interests as the 21 year old guy. Dahl is a must-listen for fewer people than he once was. He used to be Everyman. Now he's a rich guy who needs to sit on a cushioned seat and be fed gourmet food when he attends a "rock" concert. That's fine. But again, it just isn't me.

You look back at what guys like North and Dahl were and they were perfect for their times. Dahl was great for 10 years. He mocked the living Hell out of everything Chicagoans held as sacred, especially WGN Radio. Those St. Patrick's Day shows where Dahl would get hammered on air from a bar were hysterical. North was entertaining for his first 3 years before the ignoramus let his ego take over and prove to the world how dumb he really was.

Yeah, the average guy is kind of dumb, so he could relate to North. It wasn't until North started to believe he was smart that it became apparent how much dumber than the average guy he really was.

I dunno, North was smart in some ways and dumb in others. Unfortunately the dumb was about 90% of it. I was a big fan in the early years though. He was the first guy to not kiss the asses of the team's management, which was a relevation at the time.

I think he's sort of like Beer Distributor Emeritus for Chicago Beverage. He spends a lot of time at Lucky Magee's, Myron & Phil's, and Psistaria.

Just a couple weeks ago he was telling me how he got pulled over, I think it was in Morton Grove. Anyway, he started blustering about who he was and how much money he put in the local economy, and the cop, who was a young kid, just kept writing. He handed Fritzy the ticket and said, "You look like a guy who will beat it in court anyway." :lol:

Yeah, I don't know all the details, but Fritzy was complaining about how North jerked him off over something. He called North a "user".

I ran into a co-worker of Fritzy's at the annual Turkey Bowl who told me the same story.

Like I said, I don't know any details. If I had to guess, I would think Fritzy may have stuck his neck out to help North with the Webio and when shit broke bad he expected North to be a stand-up guy and make things right with Fritzy and/or his guys and Mike's answer was to go fuck yourself. That's just a guess though. Maybe it's something totally different.

He said that they had a serious falling out and didn't even speak to each other anymore. he didn't know the back story.

Fritzy is a good guy. Mike North is a jerkoff. I can't believe it took Fritzy 40 years to figure that out. But a lot of us probably have friends from high school that we wouldn't be friends with except for the fact that we were friends in high school.

Went out with Fritzy twice and enjoyed it both times. One of them was at North's house.

Every once in a while my wife will still ask what the cute young blond was doing hanging out with Fritzy.

Fritzy & North are both great guys. We went on a cruise with a bunch of people including Fritzys Daughter & her Husband & had a blast with them. Fun times.

I've heard conflicting personal stories about North but there are plenty of them out there that he is a good and generous guy.

Fritzy is a professional shmoozer. He's paid to be a good guy.

I don't know either of them personally. I could see liking both of them. I could also see fatiguing on their friendship quickly.

My view of Fritzy is that he knows who he is and he's comfortable with himself. If you don't know him, he could come off as a blowhard, but he really isn't one. He's a guy who likes people and yeah, he does get paid to schmooze them, but he really enjoys it. All of his shit is right. He doesn't bullshit anyone because he doesn't have to. Mike North, on the other hand...

Fritzy is an eminently more interesting Chicago character than North. But that was North's original appeal. He wuz jus' like a hunnert udder dopes you grew up wit in yer park er parish. When he started to tink he wuz more den dat, dat's wen he got in trouble.

Maybe he's cool to hang out with, but I never got anything out of Fritzy on the air. Automatic PTFB.

Agreed.

Fritzy appeared to be a sincere guy. Mike just became a guy who put on a mask in the morning and tried to become the character he never was and was never destined to be.
