One asshole, for another asshole. But I think it’s fair to say that while everyone is an asshole, some are better then others. And I would welcome Adam to the morning lineup, if he can wake up in time for it. Any news on this? Is it expected to go down, or is it all hearsay? I would think he’s a bit busy with his two other shows? ---

This smug fuck? I can’t stand him. I saw him interviewing Marilyn Manson the other night. I don’t even LIKE Marilyn and I liked him a gazillion times better than that little prick. I hate Stern and I like him better than Corolla. He’s one of those people who managed to get famous for being an asshole. No thanks. I’ll stick to WXRT in Chicago. More music, less sphincter. ---

We’re getting David Lee Roth here on the east coast. ---

I have watched exactly ONE episode of Too Late w/ AC (because he interviewed Seth McFarlane) and the guy just can’t run a show. There were a lot of pauses while he thought of something say. Too much dead air. Can you imagine how bad that will be on the radio? ---

Carolla was (is?) the long time host of Love Line on the radio… I think he’ll do fine. ---

Corolla has made me laugh in the past, which is more than I can say about Stern. I occasionally listen to Stern, channel surfing during my commute when my favorite station starts to fade, and I’ve never heard anything on the Stern show that made me stick with it beyond a few minutes. I’m continually amazed at how popular this guy is. I’ve never heard him say anything clever or funny. I’ll give Carolla a try. Then likely go back to listening to audio books, though. ---
