Jen Brien on WBZ

She is turning out to be pretty dopey, but as a previous poster mentioned, she's a lot better than Bradley J. ::)

Guess this is they type of talent you get when you don't want to pay a premium wage. LeVeille probably "broke the bank" when he returned and CBS' budget is shot, lol.

I would personally like to see Steve make a return visit as a guest, but that probably won't happen for a long time.
 
She has her mother on at the start of the show every Thursday. Last night she was talking about her first job. Brien mentioned that she is longer working at WXTK on the Cape. With the regular BZ overnight gig and her full time job as a care giver to an elderly woman she said she just didn't have the time
 
Ack! - I couldn't stand the show last night at all. I listened off & on & she was waaaay more animated than usual. Very "dopey" sounding.

Anyone who listened to the show - Did she happen to mention that she was:

1. Running on little sleep?
2. Drunk or high?
3. Just got a new boyfriend?
4. Just received a big raise/won the lottery?
5. Just received word that she is the full time emplacement for the overnight shift?

Something had to be responsible for all that nervous energy.

The excessive animation, "uh-huh" noise, and over enunciated sounds are grating on me something awful...I know a lot of my Bostonian/New England friends are feeling the same way. ::)

Jen is at it again...

False flags/Black Ops, etc. Sounding more & more like Alex Jones. ;D

Considering she's former Army she has no clue what she's talking about. Anyone can see the Black Hawks flying around Otis/Camp Edwards are not black! It's a regional training center for the Army before they ship out to the sand box. I think she's very self righteous and can't accept it when someone disagrees with her. She reminds me of Ed Lambert, agree with me or else!
 
LOL -

Anyone hear tonight's show? Jen doesn't seem to care who she ticks off. An all night rant about how she was mistreated by a "cop" who ticketed her for driving with a broken out headlight from a previous accident.

Judging by her snotty "I'm better than you" attitude, I'd say the officer was justified. I wonder if any "boys in blue" were waiting to escort her home after the show. ::)
 
I'm curious, has Morgan been taken out of the mix? ??? It seems that they are just going back and forth between Jen and Bradley now, I haven't heard Morgan in ages.

Someone already posted that Morgan's regular slot is Sunday night AKA Monday morning. But I don't think Morgan will be on this Sunday/Monday (6/16--6/17). I heard Bradley Jay say that he (Bradley) was going to be on on two consecutive nights this weekend. One of those nights is usually Morgan's.
 
I must say that I don't understand the appeal of Morgan White. While he's a nice, presonable fellow, I find his trivia games unremarkable, which is a problem for someone who is essentially a one-trick pony. His interviews are nothing to write home about, either.

Obviously, overnight talent is officially an afterthought on WBZ, and probably gets discussed more on these boards than in Soldiers Field Road programming meetings.

TSB
 
Could the reason that they have not named a permanent host yet is that at some point they're going to go syndicated again (Overnight America with Jon Grayson)? I don't think the outcry would be so loud this time because when they have tried to go syndicated in the past, they were replacing "legendary" hosts.
 
they're going to go syndicated again

Just name BradleyJ and get it over with. The funny thing is I don't think I've heard a BZ regular in a year? The Baltimore mail/newspaper guy, Glen from Brighton, the adenoids political guy they've gone away.

I don't listen for very long to any of the hosts, but I tune in & out a bit each night just to see what is going on. You are correct, many of the regulars have given up on calling anymore, but actually the ones you mentioned do still call.

I can think of a few others that I've heard...Joann in Waltham, One eyed Jack, umm...I can't think of any others at the moment, but I Knopf their names/voices when I hear them.

Bottom line is, the show is a far cry from the quality that it used to be...so sad... :(
