Hopped in the car for a minute and I couldn't wait to get to my destination, as these two guys were on the hunt for the "96th Win" that would have clinched the division for the Cubs.

This show is just two guys doing a Radio For Smart People bit. I don't think that shtick works from a duo, and as we saw in the Spring Book, this show is steadily dribbling away the demo ratings league gifted to it by Spiegel & Parkins.

Jesus that's not even tough, the Eddie Butler relief performance wasted in Miami in the second game of the season. Their first loss of the season where the offense shit the bed and they lost 2-1 to an obvious last place team.

He and Bernstein have never heard of a 5-2 defense in high school ir college. This is the problem with people who never played sports.

We always called either 6-3 or 5-4. You were just defending triple options or counter plays. There were always three RB's in the backfield, and the QB was usually the best runner on the field.

I suspect his 5-2 is similar to our 5-4, just a matter of what you're calling the corners.

I almost never get a chance to sample mid day radio. I had my chance today and here are Bernstein and Mc Doink mfing fans on the stations own self identified BEARS MONDAY

I see the lesson was learned.

Would it really be so difficult to go with the flow for just one hour after a victory for a team that looks like it is going to be in this until the end.

Too robotic for me...it's been said that Kraftwerk makes Tangerine Dream sound like The Temptations.

You probably know Kraftwerk from Coldplay's "Talk" or Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock," or, if you really wanna dig deep, Booker T's entrance music. I always liked this one, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ9Stc9ONyY The German version is even better: Schaufensterpuppen or whatever

And it seems he's not too keen on Roxy Music, either!

It is so fucking annoying the way McKnight has to s l o w down his talking and accentuate his words while he's thinking since doesn't know an exact fact and then he has to bounce it off Bernstein. And all of their off-topic, grabass talk is boring. It was entertaining when Boers and Bernstein fucked around but McKnight is a dolt and most of Bernstein's non-sports interests are condescending, highbrow bullshit (except fishing). Hell, Bernstein makes his son seem unlikable.

Neither host can extemporaneously riff worth a damn. I think part of it is due to Dan's beaten-to-death "...and members of..." timing and Connor's lazy biting of that style. Of course, to your point, both want to appear intellectual to a fault, so all of their "joking" is high-brow wordplay with the aforementioned bad timing. It's comedy for what they think a smart person finds funny, done in a format and medium for average-to-dumb people.

I've realized which high school archetype he is: the Well-Liked Rich Kid Who's Pretty Good At Everything. (As opposed to Parkins, who seems like an unlikable rich kid who's not very good at anything.) Everyone knew that guy. They don't thrive on pure charisma like the very most popular kids, never the smartest or coolest or funniest, they're just well-rounded and well-adjusted enough to be respected by everyone. (And their parents don't notice or care if you drink in their basement.) But people who get along with everyone and seem to effortlessly glide through life don't fit what we know as the Score, which is a place where everyone is miserable and angry and hates sports, their co-workers, and most of all themselves. They should have all signed up for therapy to see if there would be a group discount. Who else in Score history wasn't battling some sort of deep inner darkness? Maybe North, but only because he's too dumb to get depressed.

When they do transition at 1:00, it is so obvious which person doesn't belong. He really hasn't had any good thoughts since coming back in the spring.

Connor reminds me of Hank Kimballl from Green Acres.

[i]He has an unusual self-correcting manner where he makes a statement, then qualifies it, then corrects it, then corrects it further, and finally loses track of what he was saying entirely.

He does that all the time which makes it very difficult to listen to him. You want to grab him, shake him, and yell "GET TO POINT!"

Combine that with what AtomicFlop's point that He. Speaks. As. If. Every. Word. In. His. Sentences. Are. Written. in. Italics. and the title of this thread is and always will be 100% correct.

I guess we found the one person that actually likes the show. Did McNeil actually say that he likes the way that McKnight gets to the point of his question quickly? I don’t think he is listening to the same fucking show that the rest of us are.

Laurence is 10 times the radio host McKnight could ever hope to be.
