February 2 - Radio reference #2

Episode watched: none

Whoever came up with the idea of a radio show hosted by one, single human being without any counterpart deserves to be Brett Favred, you can determine what is meant by that on your own. Slater had the unfortunate task of being the sports guy on Bayside KKTY radio and boy was he miserable and I don't blame the guy. How can any good sports radio personality be witty, controversial, or entertaining when they're just talking to themselves? Mike has Mike, D-Mac has Big Al and Jim Rome has...his ego, but here in Denver after 7pm Sandy Clough has the unfortunate responsibility of hosting a 4 hour show by himself and damn is he boring. He draws out his words, he has awkwardly long silences and can't find humor if it jumped out of the microphone and bit him. Somehow he's found "success" in the 65+ demographic, while Slater was left to his own demise and had to talk about high school sports alone (kind of like Jesse Horne...anyone? anyone?). If Zack would have been man enough to jump in and tag-team that sports segment, that episode wouldn't have ended with the cliche success of Slater saving the day. Thanks Slater for saving the Max!

Lesson learned: You can now watch radio shows, now I know for sure that video killed the radio star. Thanks MTV.
