When you see the Larry dislike/hate it is easy to pinpoint. Just listen for 10 minutes and the uncoolness just oozes through the radio. Made me turn off the show today. Terms like "He should rock that all the time".."I was talking to Lance".." My mom is here".."Yeah man, that is THE REAL" Just makes you want to throw him into a dirty hamper.

When I see the complaints about M&H they are not really specific other than..dont like the laugh...yelling(which is fine with me)...not funny (but dont think they are trying to be funny)

All in all, it is actually a good show.

Agreed. I'm in a small group on here but I've liked the show since day 1. They talk local and have good guests. Easy morning listen.

The whole Holmes thing is a mystery. Borderline college radio.

Laurence being bad doesn't make Mully & Hanley good.

You know some of us believe that Mully and Holmes both suck and Hanley would be better served on a different show altogether. Just sayin.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Ok, that was funny.



But you're wrong about not having specific criticisms of M&H. They are a very vanilla show first of all. They don't say anything provocative or interesting. They try to make jokes, so you're wrong there about them not trying, but they just aren't funny. Most of them are so bad it's actually painful to hear. Also, Mully is the worst interviewer on either station. The Big Doug segment is the only thing rivaling WYC as the worst radio segment in the city right now. They do the yelling thing too, but it's always about non-important shit. WHY IS DEVIN HESTER BEING TARGETED MORE THAN EARL BENNETT, WTFOMG!!!! It just comes off as contrived and tacky. Im sure if we go reread the "These guys suck" thread, we can find plenty of other specific criticisms of them, and even the times and dates. Im glad you like the show, but it's clear that you are not going to convince us, just like we are not going to convince you, to change our mind on it. It's not a good show.

I'd give it a shot. Mully is definitely the worse of the two pair, which is bad because he's also the driver. M&S would be a much worse show if Spiegel was the driver.

I always liked Hanley. I enjoy Mull's Bear thoughts,but that's about it. I guess the term vanilla is correct. They are not unlistenable,but I still miss Mike North!!

Really?!? Man, listening to his morning efforts made me suicidal. While he never should have gone solo, the decline from mid day solo to afternoon "Wise Guys" to the morning show is akin to a jump down the elevator shaft. With a majority happening during the morning show...

(Not only was gravity pulling you down the elevator shaft, but suddenly a black hole appeared at the bottom!!)

He misses the original Mike North. The $7.5M version was L Holmes bad

Mike North being bad and overpaid doesn't make Mully and/or Hanley good either.

The fake laughing is the fucking worst. Big Doug segments get torpedoed every time as M&H can't shut the fuck up. Absolutely brutal.

The thread title says it all. Their biggest fan admits that they are bad, but not that bad...

While I understand and agree about the fake laughs, it exists on every show. Spiegs, Mac, Terry...it's the patented Score fake laugh...if you ever actually sat with a Jessie Rogers or Judd Sirrot, they all have the exact same fake laugh.

The point is that if the top complaint is a "fake laugh", then they must be doing everything else pretty good.

The top complaint is that these guys are not entertaining, often say downright stupid things, and they are not funny.

You are starting to come around to the correct way of thinking, bigfan. Last week the thread title was "pretty damn impressive," and now this week its "not that bad."

You will realize soon enough that this show sucks.

This show really is as bad as we all think. Apparently my dad called into them for something last week. Got on the air at like 6 AM. He said he even got fake laughs from Mulligan.

For the record, Mulligan is what makes this show bad. Hanley is pretty ok, as evidenced when Mulligan isn't there and the show doesn't suck.

Hanley's jokes are terrible, but most of his sports thoughts aren't that bad. A lot better than Mully's are.

I truly don't understand the criticisms either. I'm just wondering if Mully's issue with Mac is the reason why some here don't care for him?

Mully seems to have issues with a lot more people than just Mac. Plus, I just don't get all that English crap. You been talking about the queen again, Mully? On Independence Day.

Day 3 (at least) of pogues Xmas song discussion

They try to be funny but are humorless. They should just do a serious show.

Comedy is not for them

There are at least 2 sides to every story, neither party is a saint.

Whether putting on a pot of coffee or stuck in traffic, the show isn't bad. That's not to say its good either. Better than previous WSCR incarnations? Yes. But it could be even better if the obvious shortcomings (Mully questions, yelling, fake laughs/naivety, Hanley jokes) were mitigated.

Frank admitting the show isnt that bad! Hanleys sports thoughts are a biog part of the show..

We are making progress!

This morning they played the Auburn radio call of the missed FG return. The call pretty much consisted of "takes it out of the end zone, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 40, etc etc" and then a bunch of yelling when the guy finally scored the TD.

M&H ripped him because all he was doing was yelling. Really Mully? You yell ALL THE TIME every fucking day! Also, the radio call was very Joniakesque, but heavens forbid they say anything bad about something that goes on at their sister station. These guys are unfunny hypocrites. Really quite as bad (if not worse!) than all think.

They went from the worst show on 670 to the best without changing a thing. It's just the other two shows decided they wanted to become unlistenable trainwrecks. Good job Mitch! :thumleft:

This show was the first one I dropped. I got sick of them over analyzing every baseball game to the point where they'd push the panic button on day 3 of the season. They are the world's biggest Monday Morning Quarterbacks. Hanley makes these odd pseudo funny comments that just hang out there. The fake laughs don't bother me. But their interview style is weird, "as we let you go but on the way out" or "ask a question and give the expected answer at the same time".

I don't have any hatred to them personally (unlike B&B), but the show just wears on you. There are some ok thoughts in between all the annoying things. It just isn't that much fun to listen. Overall, Sports Talk Radio was just making me jaded about sports. I started to be overly critical. Sometimes it's easiest to remember that one team will win the game and the other will lose. Just because your team loses, it isn't the end of the world.
