RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

Fred is great form today. Told Wallach to shut-up at the start of the show. Just hung up on Tanguay when Tanguay was being a tool. :rolling:
I've never been a Shaq fan, but after that interview today, how can you not be?
Shaq: I'm going to be a statue for an hour.
Fred: Can I take a picture with you?
Shaq: Yes, I am going to be a statue.
Fred: Can I put my kid on your lap?
Shaq: Yes I am going to be a statue.
It really was great.
Rich took Shaq's (aka Shamrock's) free style rap from yesterday and re-mixed it with tunes. As usual, good stuff from Rich. I heard it at the end of the 8:00 hour for those looking on the poscast.
New episode of "New Jack Edwards" :rolling:
Listening to Jack doing Digital Underground--nearly spit my coffee all over my computer.

Fred is getting so indignant with everyone because he's sick. This is fantastic. He just keeps telling people to shut up.
It was fantastic from 7:53-7:55 when T&R were both tooling on Wallach for asking Beers a stupid question about Seguin. Then reminding him of his role on the show, whose names were on the show, and that they could further relegate him to "bitch boy".
I love that they didn't give out the Pats tickets to either contestant after that absolutely embarrassing performance in the Pats trivia game. The game was a cool idea from Fred to make sure the winner was at least a reasonable fan, yet was quick-fire and almost un-googleable. Yet the answers were so horrifically bad that by the end, they decided neither guy deserved the tickets.
Not many shows would do that, I don't think. Then again, they took a decent amount of heat for giving away B's tickets to a Caps fan last year so they seem to have taken that to heart.

well, then they said that if the first guy got 2 out of 3, he'd win, otherwise the other guy would win. Then when that happened they yanked it from him and he sounded angry and about as smart as he sounded answering all the questions, so I wouldn't be surprised if the guy flipped his lid. I think I agree with you, but I bet someone over there is uncomfortable
They were giving out Pats tickets, they took two callers, quiz game to determine the winner. Fred lists a former Patriot, caller whose turn it is has to identify which SB team the player played for: 85, 96, or 04. First to get 7 right wins, they alternate turns. Each caller whiffs repeatedly, it was excruciating. I think the guy guessed that Izzo played for the 85 Pats, stuff like that. Fred goes through what felt like 30 players and the best has 5 right. They give him an opportunity to name 2 of the last 3 right and win the tickets, he gets them wrong, then they refuse to give the tickets to the other guy and give the tickets to the first caller who can name the starter and backup QBs for the 85 and 94 Pats, which the first caller who calls does.
They were missing on names like Steve Nelson, Raymond Clayborn, and Larry Izzo. At the very beginning you got a hint that it might not go well when the first guy said, "He's been a fan for 7 years". Then the second guy, who is 50, has been a fan for "a couple years". Sadly, I think both represent a good portion of Pats fans. Similar to Yankee fans who think their history began in 1996.
Maybe the next contest should be name 3 Pats head coaches not named Bill Belichick.
There were also guys like Willie Clay, Keith Traylor, Hank Poteat, and Tom Tupa, all of them were answered incorrectly. It was embarrassing. I was born in 82 so I don't know most of the 85 guys, but I sure as shit knew the 96 and 04 teams, so it was an easy process of elimination.
It's suppose its sad that the majority of Pats fans are like that, and yet I barely even consider myself a Pats fan.

Fred could do Prince Merriweather for all four hours and I would listen to every minute of it:
I thaid Yoo Hoo Misstuh Heap and then Ska Bang I hits hims in hith head.

<P>Fred was absolutely destroying Wallach on my ride to work today. First, when Wallach was laughing derisively about the Jets upcoming opponents, implying there was nobody of worth on the agenda they could possibly lose to, namely snubbing the Packers and Texans, Fred took him to the wood shed. And then, when Wallach was slamming Woodhead again, with his usual "Really? Danny Woodhead is the answer?" schtick. </P>
Seriously, you wonder if T & R sit down with station execs and are like "we weren't even sports talk hosts and we know more than this moron who's bee doing it for years."
I have to say, when Fred went on his Flacco rant in the 3rd hour, and Wallach defended him...
Fred asking Wallach if he's defending him because he also looks like an eagle made me spit out my drink.

Wallach generated a fantastic "Shut UP! I HATE you!" out of Fred this morning. 6 o'clock hour, first segment. Fred was responding to a texter who told him to "talk sports" - so he decided to name the entire 1985 St. Louis Cardinals roster. Funny bit - and of course Wallach had to butt in, claiming Fred had put Tommy Herr in the wrong lineup slot.
And because I'm 8 years old...I again laughed at my desk when Fred told him to go gather straw with his beak to build a nest.
I heard that, too. It was absolutely hysterical. Did you see the photoshops of Wallach that Fred was talking about from their Facebook page?
Good stuff:

Asking the Playboy chick if she's into guys who look like eagles.
Outstanding.
Edit: Also the fact that Rich is going to see Helmet makes me like him so much more.

"John, could you tone it down during the sports flashes, we've got a lot of birds flying into the studio windows." Tremendous.
They were also just ripping on the D&C simulcast news. My favorite was when Chiarelli was late for his phone in and Fred asked "Is this because soon we're going to be simulcast on the Bravo network between Murder, She Wrote and an infomercial for Shamwow?". Great radio this morning.

Probably started at like 9:20 and went into "You Listen, Now Discuss", with one particular hilarious caller claiming to have been born in the 1930s.
Anyone listening right around 8 AM this morning and laughing hysterically when the "be a professional" caller (the guy who compared criticizing LeBron to making fun of disabled people) got Fred to shout "you want professional? I just took off my pants, sir!"
Looks like it may have become this: http://boston.cbslocal.com/category/watch-listen/heard-on-98-5-the-sportshub/
Which is an awful ugly clusterfuck so let's hope not.
