Does anyone even listen to it?
If so, how many here, the home of diehard sports radio listeners, ever listen? Just curious.

Still on the air? Doesn't that imply it was, at one point, on the air...

I've heard some of Chet's show, but it's more because the show is so bad, and a complete trainwreck.

Chet's completely full of himself, laughs at his own jokes, but he's great compared to his co-host Boom-boom. Chet tries to relate topics to things he can attempt to speak about (note that the guy stutters, changes his intended quesiton, and basically can't speak) like boxing, but that gets old. For example, they will talk Bulls (or Chet will talk Bulls), and he'll ask Boom-boom a question about killer instinct, wanting to win more than your opponent type talk, and Boom-boom will again attempt to speak, and give us a boxing analogy.

On interviews (they have had excellent guests), Chet usually asks 80% of the questions, but there's often dead air because Chet is giving Boom-Boom the opening to get in, and then Chet has to tell him to go ahead, only to hear Boom-Boom stutter his way through a question.

After Game 3, Boom-Boom mentioned 3 times in the first 5 minutes of the show that he didn't turn on any of the game until it was a 30 point blowout, not a good sign.

I don't listen because it's good, I listen because I get bored at work, and need the unintentional bad comedy.

This wouldn't be a bad show - if they got rid of Boom Boom. If there's one guy who can talk to himself for 3 hours a day, it's Chet.

I liked the small doses of Chet on Saturdays when he was at ESPN, always kind of funny to hear guys get some air time with no reigns on. Even Chet

Cant imagine him and Chitty Chitty Boom Boom
