False. Chili Guy remains to this day the funniest bit/character I’ve ever heard. The origin of him and the first couple recordings they got of him is peak radio for me. Right up there with prime O&A stuff.Faster Guy had 'em all beat.
Wasn't his best rant, but it got to the core of the problem. T & R are professionals.They do radio right and the take few "shortcuts". Dennis and Kirk do nothing but take shortcuts and play to the lowest common denominator. Its pathetic. Kirk (like Fred said), tries to be Howard Stern-lite...but it just is awful radio. It is so contrived.I was surprised to hear the other day that CBS Radio put an embargo on them from playing Chili Guy clips. Some guy called in and mentioned it and Fred said for years they've been banned from playing it for some reason. They may bring them back with the new owners.
I loved Faster Guy though.
Holy shit, Fred losing his mind on Minihane all of a sudden.
I'm such a sucker for these rants, what did Fred say?Holy shit, Fred losing his mind on Minihane all of a sudden.
Adolfo was great, but it became too much. That on-air blowout a few months before he left was the final straw.Yeah, I guess it's become a little old for me. Although I admittedly still love hearing the old "VIP on Swole" song. A classic.
Agreed on Bird. He is brutal. Although I think Nick does a good job -- probably TOO good of a job in contrast to Adolfo -- with the "man on the street" audio bits.
The odd insane-father/mentally-challenged-son relationship between Chili Guy and Qadalfo was truly hilarious.False. Chili Guy remains to this day the funniest bit/character I’ve ever heard.

The hour 2 podcast looks to have the rant.I'm such a sucker for these rants, what did Fred say?
hour 1 had some as well.
Yup. The best and simple illustration Fred brought up was Kirk's previous challenge of him to a "SPORTZ debate!"Also, Fred killed Kirk. I like how Kirk left out the best points too.
Agreed on both counts.Classic Fred rant. Loved it!
This Brady contest is horrendous. Really not interested in the shitty lifestyle of these slobs!
I agree. This is a mix of sad, disturbing and slightly entertaining, but it's at least different. BTW the Lord of the Rings girl was pretty hot.Agreed on both counts.
At least it's something different and one of the great things about the show. It's like an inside joke that only Fred and Rich are enjoying and they don't really care if we like it or not.
Some of these bits are going to be awesome and some are going to flop
Didn't hear Billick but the Ryan Leaf one was fantasticThey've had some great interviews this week. Ryan Leaf and Brian Billick being the best so far.
That show needs guests that know what's supposed to be the primary subject matter, sports. Not an area Toucher and Rich are at all strong at. And I trust Boomer's opinion a hell of a lot more than Breer's, to name one.Sounds like Boomer may be gonzo. They sounded far more enthusiastic about trying to get him back for next year than he was, although he did throw them a bone to say “hopefully I’ll be back.”
Has to be a management decision. With WFAN now an Entercom station and the Sports Hub Beasley Media it seems like he will be back to WEEI.Sounds like Boomer may be gonzo.

Missed that. That's awesome. That phrase has jumped the shark for me FAR quicker than "WHATZ UUUUUUP!"Caller, "Hey guys, dilly dilly!"
(Fred immediately hangs up)
"Yeah, we're not doing that."
Awesome. That's worth 2 get out of jail cards.
I'm on Team Fred on this one. Good for the Patriots short term, bad for McDaniels long term.Wow. Fred absolutely BURYING McDaniels. Leaving no meat on the bones.
Fair enough. I don't necessarily disagree. He just seemed overly harsh to me with his language and tone.I'm on Team Fred on this one. Good for the Patriots short term, bad for McDaniels long term.
I don't disagree with that. He definitely sounded like he was taking it personally that McDaniels did this to the Colts like Fred was a Colts Fan or related to Irsay.Fair enough. I don't necessarily disagree. He just seemed overly harsh to me with his language and tone.
How "long term?" I think anyone would be stunned if he's not the next HC of the NEP. Josh has all the job security and money he needs here. Unless he just becomes a colosal fuck-up somehow, Bill isn't firing him. The Krafts aren't either. 10 years from now if he interviews for the London Monarch's job or something, maybe...I'm on Team Fred on this one.

in denver 99% of the players hated him guys like champ bailey even kinda wanted a tatde if Mcd was back with denver in 2011They traded the heir apparent to Brady.
Brady has maybe 3 years left at best.
He would have to follow a legend and the greatest coach in history.
There's supposedly no guarantee that he's going to the next Head Coach.
He was a disaster in Denver (movie rights to the title)
He screwed over the Colts after accepting so badly that his agent publicly quit.
He's screwed long term unless he's happy being an Offensive Coordinator, which he may be.
There's been plenty of chatter that there are a few QBs in the upcoming draft who would be ideal, some have even said "perfect," for New England's system. Obviously Brady is Brady and anyone new is going to be a step down by definition, but I think it's a little presumptuous to assume that the cupboards will be bare when/if McDaniels takes over.They traded the heir apparent to Brady.

Could not agree more. I'm not crying for Indy at all and absolutely love this becasue... Fuck Indy and all the rules Polian had changed to help Peyton and Deflategate and everything else you said.But the other side of me loves pointing a finger and shouting "Ha-Ha, Indy!" Because f them, their loser druggie thanksdad owner, and his Jerry Garcia guitars. He deserves that and more.
They're a whiny, pissy, big shot in a one horse town, lucky to stink enough in the right year that they got an elite QB and never won without him, crap franchise that should disappear back into mediocrity where they've lived pretty much non stop since abandoning Baltimore in the middle of the night and ripping the hearts out of a hundred thousand sports fans. Fuck those guys.Could not agree more. I'm not crying for Indy at all and absolutely love this becasue...

I'm also not a big McDaniel's Fan and don't trust him with the keys to the Patriots post BB. However, if this extends BB's shelf life because he has an OC that he trusts and doesn't have to re train... I'm OK with that
You forgot the tanking at the right time and get Luck and then destroyed his career.They're a whiny, pissy, big shot in a one horse town, lucky to stink enough in the right year that they got an elite QB and never won without him, crap franchise that should disappear back into mediocrity where they've lived pretty much non stop since abandoning Baltimore in the middle of the night and ripping the hearts out of hundreds of thousand sports fans hearts. Fuck those guys.
Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel!They're a whiny, pissy, big shot in a one horse town, lucky to stink enough in the right year that they got an elite QB and never won without him, crap franchise that should disappear back into mediocrity where they've lived pretty much non stop since abandoning Baltimore in the middle of the night and ripping the hearts out of a hundred thousand sports fans.

And they suck too.Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel!
It was in response to Kirk saying essentially hockey talk is a radio ratings killer and that's why they (K&C) don't do it. And partially in response to Dale saying there's two people in town who actually can talk hockey (himself and Felger) and everyone else fakes it.I missed the impetus to the conversation but I heard Rich talking about others not talking about the Bruins. I pretty much stopped listening to sports radio outside T&R, is this accurate? Are we back to the mocking Holley Hockey Minute?
Even Felger doesn’t do it though. They’re still too busy beating Patriots talk to death. Sure, he’ll do an obligatory minute or two here and there, but that’s about it.It was in response to Kirk saying essentially hockey talk is a radio ratings killer and that's why they (K&C) don't do it.
