The Morning Mashup on Sirius/XM Hits 1 and 20 on 20

This has been one of the shows I listen to on the way to work for the last few years. I really liked them at first, but I have to be honest they have gotten really stale to me. First of all, Rich Davis is the real talent here. He did nights on Z100 in New York and he is the catalyst for the show. Whenever he isn't there the show is awful. But even with him, I feel like the content is too male centric at times. Talking about sports all the time on a CHR format isn't really the norm. Since Rich hosts a guy talk show in the afternoon on another Sirius channel I think that might lead to the bleeding over. The other three people on the show really aren't that good, especially Ryan Sampson. I can't figure out how this guy got onto a morning show other than he was a college roommate of Rich Davis and handles a lot of behind the scenes stuff at the station. Stanley T seems to only be there to make some sound effects and tell you that it is somebody's birthday. I used to like Nicole a lot better but I feel like she plays the "not so smart" female role too well....The one thing I always loved about the show was I felt like it was the right mix of music and talk. And it still is. It's just the talk and the people doing the talking need to improve.
