The "Skill" of talking isnt learned. You have it or you don't. You might be able to get better at it, learn how to do it in a format, but boring is boring. A guy you dont want to hear about his pizza deliveries or his comics or his mom, is a guy who shouldn't be on radio, because that makes that PERSONALITY not a good listen.
As one former board guy put it "He is really uncool" and in the worst way possible, as we all know he truley wants to be called a dork, geek, nerd as it implies he has some intelligence that makes him that way. WRONG
I havent even turned on the Score in weeks now. Not 1 second of it.
dislike doesnt need to be always called hate. I just choose not to listen to Leary. He bores me and makes a really bad "PERSONALITY"
I think that word "PERSONALITY" is something that has escaped the radio industry and Leary is a prime example of it.
After you get past the fake bravado, the self promotion and the jocks ass licking, you are left with a guy who brings nothing to the table in terms of thought. And when he does have a thought, he creates notice and build up similar to Einsteins theory on defense! (Einstein was Lombardis asst in 63-67).
"Doesn't annoy me too much" is a really low bar to set for even a WLS overnight Sunday show.
Bottom line, they know he isnt good and contracts are driving his time on the air.
change is coming
Now I like Mac for sure but this sounds like him in a lot of ways. Bigfan your argument rings hollow with the Leary stuff & taking things personal in other threads seems to make you "uncool" also
