Is anyone else listening to these guys this morning? Here's the bit: the national championship game last night, as most of us know, was a painful watch. Sure it was a "defensive showcase" and in the first 37 mins of the show I've heard one (balck) caller, a self-avowed SEC guy, laud the defensive struggle, but like, the real star of the show are the omnipresent "heh... heh"s that both Mully and Hanley are unleashing.
These guys REALLY think they're funny, don't they? I swear to god.... jesus... I know that RPB or someone came up with the Hanley scale for pointless/distasteful jokes and all of that, but like, I figured that had to be some form of comedic exaggeration for the sake of entertainment.... but no. These guys are bad. It's kind of like hanging out with an older relative, like an uncle or a grandfather or maybe even your own father, who has absolutely no sense of humor yet seems to think they do, so when they tell their supposed-jokes, since there's no universally-discernible punchline you have to wait for them to start smiling and laughing so you can join in and placate them, which you do cuz you feel kind of sorry for them and you want them to feel OK about themselves so you take one for the team and invoke the timeless words of...

and then before you know it you're stranded helplessly adrift in an iniquitous beavis-and-buttheadian sea of "heh.... heh heh heh.... heh heh.... heh... heh heh heh"s and even worse THESE MOTHERFUCKERS TAKE COMEDIC PAUSES ALL THE FUCKING TIME LIKE THEY'RE BOB NEWHART (norse god of the comedic pause) OR SOMETHING!!!!!!! THAT'S RIGHT, IF THE SPANISH ARMADA OF DUMB NON-SEQUITURS MASQUERADING AS JOKES IN A CONSTANT SEA OF HEH...HEH'S ISNT ENOUGH, THEY TAKE ALL KINDS OF DRAMATIC/COMEDIC PAUSES THROUGHOUT AS IF THEY'RE REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW TO GIVE THE AUDIENCE SHORT BURSTS OF RESPITE IN ORDER TO BREATHE OTHERWISE THEY'D ALL DIE FROM LAUGHTER WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES!!!!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ON MY RADIO!?!?!@
OK, I get why these two are pulling in good/better ratings versus mike and mike, who are currently discussing Beyonce vs Tim Tebow (seriously. they're using twitter followers as the measurement, but they're discussing it already. GAGA MENTION 40MIN INTO THE SHOW! UH OH SHE'S TOO RACY FOR THE AIR! WHAT A TEASE!) meanwhile M&H entered a structured segment with a troy aikmen interview. this is exactly it: i know that they've got a good thing going, cuz as Beardown astutely points out: these guys did a good job seperating themselves from the rest of the station and because they did that they're able to get the most guests on their show by a rather wide margin. This is worth its weight in radio copper (as opposed to gold) when you're half-asleep fueled by coffee and pastry trudging along a slushy road to work at 6:45am it's a pretty easy listen (thanks a TON.... but i've got one more thing before i let you go) so like, i get all of that... good job mitch give yourself another raise, etc....
BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO THE FUCK CONVINCED THESE FUCKS THAT THEY'RE FUNNY?!?! WHOEVER IT IS NEEDS TO GET THE MUSSOLINI POST-MORTEM EXPERIENCE FOREAL!!!!thank you

p.s. it's wu, motherfucker.... wu-
TANG motherfuckers (just for those of you who confused us with other "wu's")
