I was never an exclusive MJH listener by any means, but I gave them time and sometimes enjoyed the show. And ironically, one of my biggest gripes was Mac's incessant wrangling of J&H--playing the big brother role in keeping the two younger siblings constantly in check. It always seemed to carry an air of congestion, or maybe tight-scriptedness (?) to it, as if Mac wouldn't let the show go off the rails for just one moment, a-la many B&B segments, as if he wouldn't even hint at letting things go off-topic.

But now after hearing the show a few times without his presence, was I ever wrong! Now it seems his wrangling is needed more than ever. The few times I've heard off an on I inevitably find myself mentally playing the Danny Mac role of saying, "No Harry, we don't want to hear that story/joke/canned bit," or other such pulling in of the reigns. But I'm not him, and he's not there. And without that big brother, this show sounds as aimless and irrelevant as almost any local programming I can think of.

Well said and agreed. My first post here made reference to the exact same thing. Jurk isn't Jurk without Mac around and Harry is too much Harry without Mac around.

The good news is that all these problems will be solved sometime around the first week of May - well at least morning drive will...
