Dave and Chuck the Freak

Post by JLesinski » Mon Sep 23, 2019 7:35 am

Hated them at first. They've grown on me though. Sometimes they can get a bit tedious but overall I think they're pretty solid and usually good for a few chuckles.

Never liked them, still don’t. Then again, I am older than 12.

I'd rather listen to one of the Kardashian tramps shave their armpits than those turds...

Let me guess: in your 60's?

Never listened to them, then again I haven't listened to that station since they shitcanned Drew and Mike and crew. Since they told me they were going after a younger audience I figured they don't want me listening so piss on 'em.

Nope. I am somewhere between 18 and 59. They have always been juvenile to me, even in their 89X days. Their style of humor can be funny if done right, but they don’t.

I disliked them at first too. Thought the exact same things. They grow on you though. I'm not saying they are the greatest thing ever but they're good for a few chuckles in the morning.

Morning radio in general is dreadful. Every once in a while I'll give a listen to 96.3, 93.9, 99.5 or 95.5 to see what my former favorite stations are doing with their morning show. If it's not pre recorded actors pretending to be in a relationship dilemma or a snoozefest single jock show or the same old guy being sent out to do stunts or completely overly done unfunny phone scams it's a shitton of commercials. More often than not I will listen to a podcast when out and about.

I never liked Dave and Chuck. Way too immature and kinda dumb. No I am not 60 or over 60. I am 44 and female.

Dreadful is a good description. 96.3s morning show used to be family-friendly, but now it’s a bunch of syndicated bits like ‘Dealbreakers,’ which is so damn fake. Local references aren’t made during that bit. And all of the piped-in laugh track is pathetic. Also, you can distinguish between a real call and a prerecorded call that was bought off syndication, because the fake calls consist of actors talking really fast, with non-Midwest accents, and dropping f-bombs every 20 seconds. Blaine Fowler deserves better content.

If Detroiters were smart they would boycott local radio completely between 6a-9a and send advertisers a message that we ain't puttin' up with this crap. I know Chicago is much bigger but still you've got like 100 morning shows to choose from there and all live.

I'm 52 and never ever like Dave and Chuck. I do get it that it's probably because I am too old. I always hated how much they laugh at themselves on air.

I don't know...I find myself tuning Riff on in the morning sometimes...P1 of WWJ, P2 of 97.1.....I'm just really burnt to shit on the music offerings right now, so I guess I'm gravitating to more spoken-word formats by default. Even with more choices, I travel outside of the range of some of those out of market stations because I travel all day for work. And my phone generally has Google Maps so my own music is usually out of the question. It's not must-listen radio, but it sure beats hearing Christmas music or another GNR or Crue song already beaten to death. So much like me in life, they're the winner by default.
