TM - I have to be honest. I didn't read your long post. I'm sorry. I logged on today with the intentions of saying this :

You have the right to your opinion. I can't argue that. If you feel that I became too B&Bish then I can't disagree. You were a big listener from the start and I always expressed my appreciation for that.

I'm sorry that I argued with you about your opinion. That's just it, your opinion.

I have put a conscience effort to create my own sound and atmosphere in my solo shows.

All I can ask is that you give me another shot. Listen to a few shows for as long as you are able and then give me your thoughts. I would appreciate any comments. That goes for everyone....

I felt bad last night thinking back about the pointless arguing.

My next shows :

Saturday May 31st 11am-2pm live at Stretch Run corner of LaSalle/Ohio - it's a great OTB and sports bar...any message board guys that come by and identify themselves get a shot and/or drink on me.

Tuesday June 3rd 6-6:35pm

THURSDAY JUNE 5TH - GOLF - 1 PM-ish

Saturday June 7th Noon-3pm

Sunday June 8th 5ish-6pm

For the record :

I don't recall making fun of or laughing about driving drunk. I'm sure I had talked about it in the past. If I was making fun of it, then I'm an idiot.

I did get a DUI in 2005. It was one of the worst things to ever happen to me and one of the best things to happen to me. Since that experience, I always make an effort to share my experience and encourage people not to drink and drive when I'm on the air. I end all of shows with that. It's important to me.

That's all I have to say about that.

Amended.

This was an excellent read.

absolutely agreed, SP. Also, like you, I like Drinky's show becos not only did he seem to be the anti-Dan Bernstein, but he seemed - at least to me - to be the anti-Dan Zampillo who always did his best "berns'" impersonation, be it with callers, or just his on-air persona. And it was worse when he was on with Holmes as "Me and Z", as they BOTH tried to do their best Bernstein. I haven't had a chance to listen to Drinky either lately, and from what TM is saying it seems that that Drinky has kinda resorted to the "Dan Zampillo" type of radio. I haven't listened, so I can't confirm that. I do like Drinky's show from everything I've heard though.

I think Drinky has one thing going for him.

You wanna like him. Same with Goff and Paruch.

Zach and Larry you don't feel that way about.

Zach has no personality. He's always angry. Even when trying to be funny. He's in that serious mode no matter what.

Larry, with that patronizing style and voice, is tough to like. Plus he's full of shit a lot. He's also full of himself.

Good points. I find Zaidman's persona completely bizarre. He's like that chef on Hell's Kitchen--always outraged, even over the most minor issues.

I have written ZZ off my radar screen as a person I would like to listen to after that awfully retarded show he did the day before the U of I v UNC NCAA championship game.

Actually, Drinky. I've been digging the weekend broadcasts. Plus, you seem to be one of the few radio guys who will say, "Hey, two weeks ago when I said this? Looks like I was wrong."

Few guys will change a stance once its out there. How you covered the Benson situation this weekend was some good radio. You let a ton of different views onto the air (some I wouldn't of bothered with) and you kept the conversation going.

I've been able to listen to Matty the last 2 Saturdays, and thought he was great with Terry today. I worked late so was able to listen to more of the show than usual. They are such a great combination. Terry stays awake with Matt driving the show. I think Matt sounded like Bernsie for a while when he was solo, but the last shows I've heard he seems to have found his own identity...and I like it!

And he has grown up over the last few years..we all have. I like him, and I hope that he finds great opportunities in the future.

Ok, I'll stop gushing. :oops:

I admit to thinking he's adorable. :lol:

Maybe Teddy Greenstein will write about the in-fighting at The Score between Abbatacola and Rongey next.

Hey Ranger, are you a "street kid" or a "Northwestern guy"?
