Kermit The Frog on 101.5

[KyleJ]

I always read this board but never posted. I'm a big Jersey Guy fan looking forward to good entertainment every afternoon but if the rumors are true and Craig is going to The FAN the guy they have on with Ray Rossi said his daughter said he sounds like Kermit the frog. Yes he does sound like Kermit the frog with bad humor who sounds like he just landed in Jersey from another planet. I hope this won't be permanent if Craig does goes to The Fan since Kermit the frog radio on 101.5 today is boring and annoying. I can't listen anymore, hopefully Kermit the frog won't be on Monday.

Kermit is Casey from the radio team of Scott and Casey who did the show before Craig and Ray so I don't think this will be permanent if Craig left or leaves for WFAN. Casey and Ray do sound like oil and water together and it's just not working. Can Scott be on his way ? Casey said Craig is on vacation but wasn't Craig just on vacation ? Maybe something is happening. Interesting.

I think Casey sounds great. Good to have him back on 101.5.

Hope so.....and that's no bull (frog).

I was listening to the "Jersey Guys" today and it was obvious to me that Casey's voice and wierdo sense of humor were a complete turnoff.

It became totally unlistenable to me and I had to turn it off. He wasn't funny, although it seemed he thought he was. He had absolutely zero chemistry with Ray who I love. If I paid big money for ads on the Jersey Guys show today I'd be demanding a full refund first thing Monday morning.

I also hope this isn't permanent. What a train wreck.

I never thought I'd say this, but if Scott and Casey make it back to 101.5, I may actually start listening to the station again.

It took me a LONG time to get used to their show, and just when I had really started to enjoy it, they left.

Stranger things have happened -- like me posting this

I used to listen to Scott and Casey before the Jersey Guys came on a few years ago.

They were the highest rated afternoon show in NJ at the time.

These guys were great until they were let go for an on air oops...

I remember after they were let go, Craig Carton came on. I couldn't stand him at all, but I have since grown to be a loyal listener. However, I do not care for Ray Rossi. Fortunately he sits back and shuts up anyway.

Ray says things like "American History" lol

When he was on friday with Casey he ruined the whole show. Especially when they tried playing the music game show at the end of the show.

Ray made it way too hard and it was just annoying.

Now I really understand what Craig has to go through each and every day with this guy.

I do not want to see Craig go, I hope the rumors aren't true. He is terrific.

If he goes I hope his "sidekick" Ray Rossi does too, he is just HORRIBLE!

I addressed this topic on the "Chris" Carton thread, but I'm in agreement that Casey and Ray will not work. Casey is like Carton in that he is confrontatonal and pretty much a "jerk" but he lacks any sort of showmanship, doesn't have Craig's sense of humor or creativity, and he doesn't have the chops to get into serious discussions.

With Craig, people either love him or hate him. I don't see Casey being able to illicit that sort of emotion out of people.

Whoever takes Cartons place is gonna be in a tough spot.

I turned The Jersey Guys on briefly today and Kermit was on again. It sounds great if you like Kermit the frog. If I can describe Kermit the word would be Dorky. I'm in my late 20's and just started listening to talk the last few years because of Craig and Ray so I don't remember when Kermit was on last time which had to be a while ago. This will be my last post since I have satellite radio so I'm heading over there now for the afternoons. From what I heard today. Jersey Guy radio ended last week with Jersey Dork radio now in effect.

 

[Starscream]

Is anyone else's suspicions arisen because people with less than 5 posts have come here to bash Casey?

 

[Starscream]

Hmmm.

Casey has posted here in the past using self-depreciating humor.

Someone brand new comes to post, bashing on Casey, calling him "Kermit".

Casey identifies himself sounding like a muppet on today's show.

So, either Casey's trying to astroturf himself, or he's letting the board get to him.

If you stopped listening to boring Kermit Casey and Rossi on NJ 101.5 then listen to NJ talk personality Mary Walter on Fox News radio today and tomorrow.

 

[JoeFromTomsRiver]

"The Jersey Guys" Casey and Rossi is just not working. First of all, the station continuing to call it "The Jersey Guys" is like if James Hetfield left Metallica and they just plug in a new singer and call the band "Metallica". Its weak.

I've tried to give the "new" Jersey Guys a fair shot the past couple of weeks but its no use. Forget the "Kermit voice", the problem is Casey's personality, or lack of it. As a Non-Professional and as a measly little listener, I can explain it like this: Even to those who didn't like him or agree with him, Craig came across as a guy who if he was going to throw a party, it would probably be off the hook. He seemed to be with it. Casey just comes across as a complete dork who probably married the first woman who gave him the time of day. And he's already coming out and trying to make "outrageous" comments to piss people off but its so blatantly forced it borders on embarassing. And it makes people turn off the radio, not leave it on. Since I know its not getting any better, I will no longer turn the show on. However, I do hope for Rossi's sake that the show is succesful.

Mary Walter does sound good on Fox this afternoon.

 

[K-Tel]

This is getting sad. Can we do anything about Mary posting about herself?

 

[Zackster]

We'll know it's her if she says "ecksettera" instead of "etcetera"
like she used to do on new jersey 101 point 5 before she got fired

 

[Starscream]

This is getting sad. Can we do anything about Mary posting about herself?

Yes. click the link that says "Report to Moderator", and say it's off-topic, off-thread trolling.

As Mary is no longer a New Jersey Radio personality, as Mary doesn't broadcast from New Jersey (Fox Radio is in New York), and Mary's show on Fox Radio cannot be heard in New Jersey, Mary Walter posts don't belong in the New Jersey Forum.

Just cut and paste this. The mods will get the idea.

 

[Freshface]

So lets see now according to Starscream you can't mention any person who used to be on NJ radio. OK so using Starscream's logic no one should ever mention Craig Carton anymore and we should report that to the moderator since Craig Carton went to WFAN.

I remember Casey B from the Scott & Casey Show before the Jersey Guys started. But, I don't remember him being as annoying as he has been the past few wks since he sat in the Jersey Guys seat. Poor Ray is trying hard to help him, offering the same backup he offered to Craig for five years. But, something is falling flat. Casey is trying too hard to be funny. Even his insults to callers are boring. Casey seems to be trying to be Craig-like. He brings up a topic and then talks over even himself. And where does he get the topics? BORING. I am wondering if this is the show from now on or is Casey just standing in until they find a permanent replacement for Craig. I wouldn't blame Ray if he is shopping for a new show. Its the end of the Jersey Guys era in NJ.

If we posted about every single B or C list personality that went to other stations outside of the realm of the board, the entire board would be choked with off-topic posts.

You have posted, repeatedly, that Mary has gone elsewhere. One or two posts is fine. People will get the idea. What you've done is pretty much spam the board with Mary updates, which is not needed nor wanted. Have you noticed that every time you post about Mary, you get hate in return? It seems to me that Mary wasn't particularly well-liked by listeners OR co-workers.
