Why does this douche begin all of his calls by asking, "Gentlemen, how's the empire?" |

I don't even know what Empire he's referencing. British? Ottoman? Carpeting? |

He's not as bad as that major douche Frank from Oak Park or whatever who thinks he is the William Shakespeare of sportsradio callers. |

Always thought most of the emails/texts that Bernstein read during Who You Crappin' were from imaginary sycophants, Kenny Owens like creations to help move the bit in directions he was comfortable. |

I always thought he was doing a bit on the old Schoolhouse Rock thing. |

Yeah, got his angle, but it does seem that many shows have had their own Kenny Owens types, pretty easy to create a sympathetic viewpoint when all the interaction is through text/email and is why the station is such a painful listen at times. Of course none of them were able to take it to the Jimmy Shorts level, but Kev was way more talented than any of the past/current/future score hosts. |

Oh I can buy that idea, sure. I also think it might've been to bulk-up the segment as it got towards the end of its run. |

I just turned it on and Bernstein was saying "Kobe evolved." Was he playing the Homer "gaaaay" sound byte too? |

Adding to his delightful charm, he has that pseudo-thoughtful, smarmy habit of ending many of his sentences with "right?". McDoink does it a lot, too. Man, do I hate that, almost as much as beginning sentences with "so". |
