Leila went off on a rant about how stupid it is to have a real xmas tree.
She doesn't understand it.
They're cutting down all these trees!!!
and there could be wildlife hiding inside of them!
even Dan and Larry stopped her to let her know that they're grown specifically to be cut for xmas trees, but she said she didn't care and double down.
I believe Leila pre plans her rants, including drafting the entire statement with points of emphasis bolded
I agree with that. It often sounds like she is trying to sound angry about a topic but it just sounds like a lot of forced yelling.
One could argue that the biggest issue with the station today is that most of the hosts lack the depth of knowledge and interest to pull of a daily local sports talk radio show. You can feign interest and passion for a bit, but the host eventually gets exposed to long time fans and most of them lose interest in the show.
Much easier for the host just to play the hits by re-reading tweets and manufacturing crafted angry responses to the SJW causes of the day than actually watch games and form unique thought on what you see.
Would say that the vast majority of the hosts on WSCR know nothing about football which makes it difficult for any of them to form a unique thought and impossible to defend their takes if questioned by callers, so you get slow moving and boring shows with the stereotypical daily SJW Defense League approved thoughts of the day spewed out by goofs that do not even understand the rather basic concept of the Christmas tree industry.
For hosts like Bernstein I see the laziness when it comes to baseball more than football etc. There is no way in hell he watches out of town baseball and very few times is he watching entire Chicago games. I believe this is why he grasped onto and continues so strongly on the advanced metrics. He can evaluate what he wants without actual viewer eyes. Less with the all 22 in football and next gen as he like to watch some but same thing.
Anyone that knew anything about baseball could see the issues with the Sox after watching a game or two.
To say the team was terrible defensively would have been an insult to bad defensive teams, they were apathetic defensively at key spots.
No real team offense concept, no moving runners, just guy after guy trying to pull the ball, very easy to pitch to the team, guy got themselves out.
It was a painful team to watch, but you instead heard about spin rate and launch angle, a lazy way to analyze the game rather than call out the key players who were stealing money.
