(27 posts)Living in the redneck Riviera I can tell you 1st hand, there really is a Darryl & his brother Darryl.
They live across town.
To give DUer's a true understanding of what I am living in.

Beaches are the finest in the world, so that's some consolation.

Diction is the 1st thing you lose when moving here.

Of course not.
I forget, you can't hear my snarky inflection over the inter web machine.

Basic LA
(2,047 posts)Since she lost the dead weight of Chris (bless his heart), and brought Jim Ward back, the show is looser & funnier than ever. And Stuttering John, the new mook, is a welcome addition. Anything is an improvement over snotty Chris (bless his heart).

(5,252 posts)Steph and Chris are overly defensive of one another and their point of view. Jim "dared" to stray off the reservation and provide a liberal response when one was desperately needed. I would love to know why he left. Glad he's back and Stephie doesn't have an over protective ally to defend her position. Not sure about John, but the learning curve of that job is steep!
Basic LA
(2,047 posts)And as soon as Snotty Chris left, Jim returned. Stephanie doesn't yet seem to realize how lucky she is to be rid of a co-host who would never let her be herself. I saw it as a Stockholm syndrome. All he did was browbeat & put her down constantly. She seemed intimidated by him. And you're right about John, but he might grow into the slot.
WhaTHellsgoingonhere
(5,252 posts)We have very different views on Chris.

(2,047 posts)Jim keeps it funny all the time. What a difference he makes! (Am I the only one who hated Chris?)

Now we have none. Sucks.

(63,903 posts)life couldn't go on...until I found Steph! And Al was there then, too, and Big Eddie...
And I found DU! And we struggled along...

(5,927 posts)Jeez I used to be able to hear Mike Malloy on at night. That was awesome. AM radio has reverted to its frothing right-wing hateful hegemony. Luckily people only listen to AM in their car. WJR Detroit, The Great Voice Of The Great Lakes, used to be so wonderful. Now it's Limbaugh Land. So depressing. It's NPR or Nothing for radio in the car around here. Of course there's Sports Radio, but the Lions are having an awful season so.....fuck it, I put on some Art Tatum.
Re: Steph I wonder if anybody else here heard Jim's imitation of Pat Robertson. Spectacular.

(26,500 posts)has. He also calls every other radio show throughout the day. Which makes me wonder if he even has a job.
