The segment is fine. Just enforce the freaking rules. 70% of the craps dont capture the essence and the ones that do arent particularly funny. |

We have a new Zoilo Versalles and his name is Ray Williams. Now, even though he is the quintessential fan of the NBA, I'll cut bernstein a break as he was only about 10-12 years old when the guy was averaging 20 a game for the Knicks, but Terry was a fucking beat writer at the time! |

Someone should call in and ask them to be funny for us (the listeners). Being funny is their job, not ours. |

Kevin Durant is a good guy on and off the court - signed Tiger Woods. |

"Everyone has to be reckless in the way they talk about things to be above the drone, and that's sad." Phone call for Dan Bernstein, kettle - line 1! |

Not everyone thinks of LiveStrong when they hear "Boston Strong." We don't all have Lance Armstong on our brain every second of the day like these two miserable fuckstains. |

I wondered the same when they were doing this. Why does it have to be Lance because people just cop the strong part? |

Mostly brutal I heard Terry giving instructions on how to read a good "WYC". he talked about getting to the point. HEY TERRY, HERE IS A HINT! Anyone that is willing to sit down for any extended period of time and write a script for a bit for your show, then hold for 20-30 mins, just to read the crap they think is funny, isn't going to understand "GETTING TO THE POINT". |

as someone above said, if you want funny, do funny email craps. not these palaverous emails about topics you've already gone on and on and on about (penn st, catholic church, vaccination, etc etc). there should be more craps that end in " you __________ ass bastard!" the way he reads the emails it almost seems like he's the one that wrote them. not that i really think he probably does but man he so passionately reads them it really smacks of it. i do believe in the BEEP conspiracy. when my favorite craps are the ones that are failures, your segment is broken. |

During transition Mac joked that they thought of scrapping WYC back in 1995, but Ron Gleason objected. That should tell you just how "creative" the current people are in that they've basically taken a fading concept and tweaked it to be even less entertaining. That Bernstein prefers the e-craps from his select authors should come as little surprise. As he is quick to tell just about anyone, "don't listen" it is obvious that he wants what he wants, good or bad. Mac's making of point of wanting to listen, addressing them, and then the subsequent verbal hand wringing imploring contributors to "be funny" is indicative of the need for them to either look at cutting back the segment (bi-weekly) or cutting it out. Since they do a show without format, why not take the craps as they come? In a sense, the small coterie of show contributors already do that for them. For the record: I don't listen to WYC, the formulaic approach and lack of spontaneity kills the potential for humor. |

the crap that got the most laughs from dan and terry yesterday was about bubba watson contradicting himself on rome show. his horrible gaff was saying he didn't mind the gretsky chick on the cover of the magazine but that doing it in the way she did might not of been a good idea. SO WHICH IS IT!!!??? GASP WHAT AN ASSHAT |
