I don't have any details beyond what I'm typing here but just turned on The Score to hear Mac complaining about air sirens and microphones which prompted a call from "Mitchy" to tell Mac to relax. I don't think I've ever heard him call in on air before.

It was odd to hear Mac take a live dump on Larry

I was in my car and heard this live.

You guys are horse shit when explaining shit. When you start a thread like this, EXPLAIN IT.

During tranny, Mac asked Larry who the engineer was. Because he noticed the sound was bad from the Cubs players he was interviewing at the start of the show.

Mitch was listening. Mitch, being the guy that he is, who is scared of conflicts and problems, called in immediately. He usually buries his head in the sand when trouble comes. But an alarm went off in his head this time and he called in to say the engineer was a great guy and is good at his job. He felt he had to put this fire out quickly. Mac shot back at him about how it wasn't a good job.

I like this shit. Mitch said it's not good radio. Wrong. It was funny and entertaining. Different. How much time can you spend discussing why the Cubs suck on the road?

The way Mac pissed on Holmes show at the end of transition was pretty shitty. Mac clearly had an axe to grind, which he admitted to 20 minutes later, during the open of his and Parkin’s show.

Coming back from a week plus vacation and then being all cunty his first 10 minutes on the air was not a good look.

Gratitude fades quickly in an addict that still uses.

Mac said he's had a problem with engineers for a while. And he's discussed it with bosses off the air for a long time. I think he felt he had to call this shit out on the air. It reached a boiling point with him,

I don't care what people at the SCORE think. It was funny and entertaining radio. Which is the goal of doing radio.

Better then this shit....

Larry: Jason, you're great.

Goff: Thanks playa, you're great too.

Who wants to hear that shit?

I listened to the podcast. I enjoyed it. I don't see any problem. Mac gets criticized for being on cruise control, not engaged.....now people will criticize him for throwing his weight around too much. It is all horseshit. Mac is the realest guy at the station and I like when he gets feisty over things.

The part I found odd was Mitchs reaction of calling in. Has that ever happened before? I don't recall it. He seemed to want to squelch things real quick, which does not make much sense. A little controversy or hosts irked brings them attention and attention in radio is what you want.

Would be great if Mac were to check in and expand on things.

I've never heard Mitch call over this type of situation. It was odd.

Mac likes the shows to sound as good as possible and I think it's a pet peeve of his when they don't because of something that can be controlled. But, what do I know.

Mitch probably called in because he got an earful from Larry.

Yep.

Mitch called in because Sir has always been his guy. Mitch would be having Sir in the drive time slot if any metric justified the move.

I knew this before I heard the exchange but it made it clear to everybody.

Mac is Mitch's boss. Despite Mitch's title.

Maybe Mac asked hi main guy Decastro to let Mitch stick around and Mac flaunts it here and there? Myself it was a little uncomfortable like Mac picked the wrong spot.

I for one can't believe Mac would be in a bad mood when it's been many months since either the Hawks or Bears played a meaningful game.

But, I hope he's ok. He's still the best host the Score has currently by a light year.

Yeah, Mitch is probably faster to protect engineers than he is most of the Score's fungible buttmonkeys.

Just curious, how you objectively justify him being light years ahead of other hosts...

Him being your personal favorite is not an issue since personal preference is not arguable.

Taking nostalgia and resume off the table, though, what specifically makes him light years above other hosts? He doesn’t have the interview skills of Holmes or the passion of Parkins. Not saying they are better overall but there’s not a single category where objectively I can think Mac is the league leader.

To be clear, I was a huge fan of his work 10-15 years ago but he’s past his prime and not only knows it....but he’s content with it. I mean, hey, collect the paycheck my man if someone is willing to cut it, but he’s middle of the road these days. That’s it

Wow! A trip back to when the score was honest , up front, and was a must listen. This is why you've got to love Mac even though he can be a prick. Parkins was like a scared turtle sticking his head in and out of its the shell. He made a strong effort to disconnect himself from the criticism. This in-show dirty laundry airing was commonplace on the old must listen score. It was refreshing to hear a glimpse of honesty in the bombardment of fake Cubs talk.

Parkins annoys me in several ways, the way he says Im-por-dant. His self righteousness. Etc.

But I didn’t hear a scared Parkins yesterday. I heard an annoyed Parkins. An attempt to defer to Mac out of reverence and an attempt to respect the previous show. He was in the definition of a lose - lose.

Mac on the other hand just sounded petty.

Larry's the lead in to Mac's show. I get why he wouldn't want people switching stations simply because the broadcast sound isn't good.

I am generally a fan of Mac, mainly because he has more personality and honesty than the other hosts, but that seemed like an ill-timed crap in Larry's lap.

I thought Mac was sober, but I guess that's not true. As someone who has experience with it, there's no such thing as 'kind of sober.'

Maybe not for you, but I'm in the car all day and have switched channels for simply that reason.

That said, I typically listen to a bit of Larry's show and haven't noticed a lot of difference from the other scores shows.

Maybe Rosen ordered this shit to be shut down. Gotta always pretend that life is paradise at the SCORE. Always pretend that everybody likes each other.

Like was said earlier, it was always better radio when the guys fought and hated each other. Which was the SCORE in the 1990s.

The transition with Laurence and hour one of Mac and Parkins are on itunes and the radio.com app.

No conspiracy afoot

I've always liked Mac, he's an honest dude.. He likes awful music( Boston, Alice Cooper, Doobie Bros) etc... But he's an honest hillbilly.. He yearns for his wife to be cucked( gay) he meat gazes in the locker room( gay) but he's our homo. .. And hes honest.
