Southside Steve, We Hardly Knew Ye
Say, anybody listen to the new morning show at 96 Rock, replacing the too-naughty Regular Guys?
I didn't think so.
I listened to about 40 seconds last week. It was pretty damn dismal. Two guys laughing uproariously at anything whatsoever that sounded like it might be a joke spoken by their female sidekick. As a bonus, the female sidekick has that overcompensating "one of the guys" intense joshing voices that I'm associating more and more with women in radio. Think Kim Komando, Mara Davis, etc. Think of Mara Davis taking 30 seconds to say "Caaaaaaaaaaobb County" and you'll get the idea. Not saying all women in radio do this; Randi Rhodes has a cool radio voice and I love listening to Dr. Laura when she's not doing that cutesy-poo squealing-with-delight thing. I think it's because they're being themselves instead of doing stuff they learned in broadcast school.
Anyway, Bob and Tom. Hopeless. Listen only if you enjoy Mara Davis & Dunham or if you think 96 Rock's Dick & Justice would be funnier if only they were a little older and more out-of-it.

The new 96 Rock line up is terrible. You cant blame it on the local djs though, this is Clear Channel for ya. I HATE the new jack ass morning people. I have seen grass grow that more interesting. And the "shows" the rest of the day arent much better. Still love Rhodes and Southside!
Yeah Comeon!!!!
