Yesterday's show was a disaster, Rozner is a no gouda, Meat had a really, really bad interview that could have been interesting but he was a cocksucker.

Not really much to talk about, folks....the 'Batty and Meat Show was alright and the Meat and Rozner Show was a trainwreck. Where do we go from here? Imagine a time when Mac leaves for WGN, what will happen to The Score?

This is a harbinger of destruction.

Take Me Higher,
SomeGuy.

If Rozner is in today, could get Masters odds for the golfers.

It begs the question:

Which is worse? The cock, ass, and gout talking points of Mac or the golf game, lame teenage daughters, and nasally smarm that are the bullet points of a Rozner show?

I had to Google to find out who Tom Fornelli is, and found this.

So excited to hear @TomFornelli on @670TheScore today. This continues to station's smart strategy of continually finding fresh voices.

What?

Been a pretty boring show thus far. I'll give this Tom guy a chance but there isn't much chemistry thus far.

He is a College Football writer for CBS and lives in the hotbed of college football, CHICAGO!

Yeah, he doesn't seem like he's used to being on the radio. Pretty quiet and monotone.

I guess maybe they are just trying to break in some new talent. Rozner sucks, but Matty would've been a better listen than this guy. Putting on my Beardown hat here, I wonder if Roz was pissed at Speigs dismissal of him in the interview yesterday and didn't want to come back on today and this guy was a last minute replacement.

To be fair he's probably a little cowed because he doesn't want Grimace coming after him for not being uh you know "musician"

" So I was up last night working on Abbey Road lyrics for an upcoming Tributo show" .
No you pretentious arrogant fuck, Lennon and McCartney were up late working on Abbey Road lyrics 40 fucking years ago!! My god this fucking guy is unreal.

Yeah. I mean its one thing to rehearse, but you can't phrase it like that. A way for me to help remember song lyrics is to write them out myself. But you won't catch me saying, "So I wrote the lyrics to 'Roadhouse Blues' last night..."

"There are some things that are more difficult and commercially successful. Writing original songs is more gratifying on some level. But this is so much damn fun because we invented it and perfected it. The fact that we let the music speak and then poof! -- it's gone -- manages to somehow give us artistic integrity in a cover-band framework. We've got something magical here, and we have to protect it. We don't want to suck any of the joy out of it."

Yep. I'd rank them: Meat, Bernsie, Mully.

That is pretty Beardownish, but he said on the show that Fornelli would be on. And he's definitely has the Spiegel look to him.

Tom Fornelli discussing the best love-making song wrote:

Any song. Any song will work because the only thing I care about while I’m having sex is the fact that I’m having sex. You could put on Barry Manilow and I wouldn’t give a shit, cuz I’d be having sex and the only thing I’d hear is the voice in my head yelling “weeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Tom Fornelli wrote:

This is actually a cruel question to be asking me at the moment. A few months ago I decided that I was getting a bit too round for my liking and I’ve been on a diet since. Beef sandwiches, sadly, are not a part of the diet. God I wish they were.

Wouldn’t that be the best diet ever?

“Eat three beef sandwiches a day and watch the pounds and inches melt off!”

But they aren’t. Neither is pizza, burritos, soda, candy, holy shit I’m hating this diet so much right now. If you were to put a pizza in front of me I would devour the entire thing in five minutes, and I might just take a piece of you as well. I wouldn’t let your arms linger as you placed it down.

Sounds like that was his best work.

Seems to be a good guy and knows what he is talking about and in time, I am sure he could do just as good as a job as most at the station. It is just talking.

But once again the lack of PERSONALITY is a question.
