If someone has a old tape or youtube clip of WYC from the HFC days, I'd love to hear it.

Yep, listener legends were born on that segment back then. Out to Berwyn and Pluto.

Gary From Evanston was great, and I liked Black Physicist. Other than that, keep it.

No, no, no ... Gary and Fromage (aka Bichiro aka .... was it North Side Pimp) were fine. Incidentally, I'm certain Fromage used to work at the Score, but I don't know if he was someone we'd recognize (at least by name).


He used to work for the Wolves.

Sit down here by the campfire and I'll tell you some old board lore about an angry board member calling his place of work to get him fired.

Some people here really are terrible people. Who calls somewhere and tries to get someone they don't even know fired?

Sorry for butting in, but...Govt. Frommage? He posted here briefly and I thought confirmed he was one and same as the WYC Govt. Frommage. I seem to remember him sending one to the bored before or right after WYC one week.

I started posting here not long after someone got Frommage fired. The wild west days were really interesting. I'll talk to JORR and Crest and maybe see about having "guest" posting on Fridays.

WYC was a mildly entertaining bit until people like fucknut caveman lawyer and their awful craps started taking over the segment. Gently stroking Bernsy's cock with your verbage makes for terrible radio.

At one point we had Unemployed Lawyer, Neurotic Lawyer, and Mr. Mouth, who I believe was also a lawyer. No, wait, I think Mr. Mouth worked at Fermilab. But who's to say it wasn't as a lawyer?

It was pièce de poo-poo for Government Fromage, by the way, like pièce de résistance.

Remember QUIT PLAYIN'? For a while I thought he was gonna get a spinoff segment of his own. Then one time he got dumped. I want to believe it was for using the N-word. Or maybe I'm thinking of Dark Twain. Maybe they're the same guy.

IIRC Quit Playin' ended his crap with just that, not WYC.

Why so giddy? Dan Bernstein has always been my favorite Score host and the pairing with Goff has resulted in a show that I will not listen to. Goff and Mike Golic are the only people that I will immediately change the channel if I hear them talk. (Trump is another but he''s not a sports show host.) So yes I am giddy at the prospect of Bernstein getting a new partner so I can start listening to him again on a daily basis. Plus, replacing Goff is an admission that the show and specifically Goff was a failure. It proves to all the show defenders here, actually it is mostly you, and from a FB page I am on that they were in the minority of liking the show and that many of the comments they made were garbage.

You weren't a fan of Boers either.


Not really. I didn't tune in to listen to him.

I'll predict you dislike the next guy too. Big fan of the show though.

I wish Goff well but man he is not a professional broadcaster. He could learn from Laurence or Herron.

Too many uses of "um" "like" etc

And the thing where he's always laughing or using sarcastic voice or brothers don't voice just reeks of fakeness.

I think he could be really good with some work. He has an engaging personality.
