I don't get it. I want to. They annoy the shit out of you, yet you listen and post on a daily basis. I genuniely want to know why.

-Massicist?
-Crave Local Sports and refuse to listen to 1000?
-Exceptionally bored?
-Did Dan or Terry shun you at some event and you've taken up the internet to charge to bring them down even though they are posting some of their best ratings?

I don't get it. I want to.

it's pure hate listen.

I guess it's interesting to me that the B&B posts outnumber all other radio discussion, 5 to 1? More than that? The only thing that can compete is some Mac relapse rumor, but that stays confined within one 15 page thread. The vast majority of which just seem based from pure misery.

I don't have what RPB describes as easy to get. This isn't political discourse where it's good to hear from varying opinions, it's pure hate listen.

Check out the show thread.

B and B show threads used to be in the double digits page wise. Now they are what, 2 or 3 pages on an average? Maybe 8 on a good day?

I think people like to listen and point out the ridiculousness of Bernstein, schtick or not. If someone calls and tries, I'm sure they would not get through or would get shouted down.

STOP DISLIKING WHAT I LIKE ON THE INTERNET!

It's like buying a 10 year U.S. Treasury bond yielding 2%, not the best financial decision, but where else are you going to stash your money.

I don't hate listen, but I can't stand the silence in my office after 1:00. Can't wait for Cubs day games to start.

101.1 is playing good music lately.

When I am not listening to the Economist in my car ...

The B&B threads are one of the best things about the board. Immensely entertaining.

Some people love to get worked up or listen to "the other side" It's why guys like Nas watch FOXNEWS. Honestly, it's not that hard to understand, at all.

I became a fan of the Score because of the B&B show and whatever show Murph was on. It's sad to see what a shitshow my favorite radio station has become. The only show I tune into now is Mully and Hanley for goodness sakes.

In that time, I think the show has changed more than the board's membership has. I can't believe we're rehashing this. Like, haven't we plotted out the decline of the show and where various posters here found themselves turning against it?

you know, as we have a thread that aims to obsess over the b&b obsessors, i can't help but think of that idea i had a long time ago where i wanted to do MST3K style overdubbed commentary on MST3K. and then of course after that you have to do another level of MST3K style commentary of MST3K style commentary of MST3K. maybe then you go to the 4th and 5th levels and around that time you find out what the essence of MST3K/style-commentary is: audacity. i'll spare you the highbrow concept thread "B&B Obsesser Obsessers" and just do the bit here: B&B OBSESSOR OBSESSORS ,,,,, AYE don't git it, alldough I dohn't knough if I wanned tew.

It's still the best show in Chicago and everyone secretly knows it. It's not as good as it was but that seems to be how pretty much anything older than 5 years is viewed these days.

For me it is falling between loving what used to be and getting little glimpses and it being the only decent ife line from out of town to Chicago sports talk. Bad but its what I got.

Seriously, I totally agree. When I am not listening to the Economist in my car, I have 101.1 on. The mix of music is solid. My kids think I am crazy because they love that pop garbage on 101.9. But you know my musical skills are sorely lacking.
