I initially applauded when Mac y Gaydos joined forces to defeat the evil forces of Mordor. The show was fresh, fun and dare I say it--exciting. Now, one year later, IMHO, the schtick has grown old and stale. There is only so much stuttering and stammering I can stand before I have to turn to music.
Let me give an example- recycled topics. Instead of having multiple topics discussed for each hour, Mac y Gaydos have taken to recycling the topics and discussions from previous hours. When the topic is discussed initially, the discussion is at least fresh and doesn't sound forced. When the topic gets recycled, though, the discussion is forced and attempts to recreate the "witty" banter from the previous discussion falls flat on its face.
If you are going to recycle the topics, why not just tape the first two hours, make your time id's generic (i.e.- it's five minutes after the hour) and voice track for the final two hours. Go home two hours early, save money and leave it in the capable hands of mr. computer and the board op. Problem solved. No charge, Russ. ;D
