First off, this show is a serious upgrade from Napoleon & The Stutterer show and the Mr. Mustache 5 lbs. in a 2 lbs. bag show. Could you imagine any of the former accomplishing the Coppock and Shear interviews from last week?
Enjoy that the open is replayed at 11 and the 10 o'clock rejoin repeats at noon. Love the bumper music. People still listening to 1975 music currently is like people in 1975 bumpin' around listening to the Glenn Miller Band. For the record I enjoy listening to the Drive and used to love listening to the old 104.3 when they played music from before 1963...
I'm glad Mac doesn't have the joke and the jock weighing down the program literally and figureitively. Harry needed to be kept on the shortest of leashes and Jurco needed a cattle prod to stay interested in a segment if it was beyond the realm of the pigskin.
Used to listen to Speigs when he was on SNR. So I'm a fan and indeed like the pairing.
What are the dislikes of the show? Don't like the clock. That short segment at the end of the hour. Yuck. Make it a Speigs only segment so Mac can enjoy that Cowboy Killer Light throughly. Or go to commercial after the update at the bottom of the hour.
Something.Talk about kids? Keep it. But, a happy host makes a better show. Save it for February when radio hell freezes over and it will keep Mac off the NBA beat too.
Unfortunately, there will be more song parodies now that the worlds biggest songbird in riding in the sidecar. At least he has actual pipes and ability. Sounded like somebody pulling on cattails when the songs when on up the dial.
Sound drops. Where are my drops?? I'm petty and juvenile, but I know they will come when the four exec. producers
get in the flow of things in the next couple of weeks. Stop with the pandering to the leftover H&H and Murph listeners. Don't remember Mac saying, " Hey HUGE listeners, both of you, we're the new afternoon show...". Let it go. Don't remember AC/DC starting or reminding during the show on the For Those About to Rock tour that Bon Scott is dead, here's the new guy. Maybe they did, I didn't go to any of those shows on that tour and wouldn't have rememered much from that era since I was four years old at the time.
