Ranking the Rochester Radio Morning Shows

So, I have listened to all the morning shows in Rochester since Kimberly and Beck left.  And I have decided to rate them and rank them.  I did not include national shoes such as Elvis Durand or Mike and Mike.  Nor did I include 1180, which lets face it is essentially news unfiltered.  Since Chet Walker left there is no personality anymore its just rote news for the most part.

1. The Break Room with Duffy- Duffy has settled into the host roll nicely, the whole cast works together.  And they are funny and witty, with Tommy's comments.  There is no dead weight on this morning shoe which is more then I can say for other shows in town.  Duffy knows sports so his interview of sports people are a little more credible then Moran's who does not know sports as well. 

2. 92.5 WBEE- not my cup of tea as morning shows go.  But again there is no dead weight here and they all play a role.  The host has to carry the show as his sidekicks are what they are sidekicks.  But the show works and flows without obvious flaws.

3. Bill Moran- show is new and still seems to be finding its way.  It feels like it is torn between being the Kimberly and Beck replacement (would have ranked 2 on this list).  They do some sports, the show seems scattered shot, are they trying to be funny or interesting or both.  The segments can vary from day to day.  But they are interesting rarely funny.

4. Tony Matthews-  listen this is a show for Warm 101.3 is not offensive and is subtle, perfect for the audience.  I cannot remember a single joke or subject they have talked about, but maybe that is the point.  Not sure Warm needs a morning guy, pretty sure the ratings would be the same if they went the WHAM route.

5. Scott Spezzano and company-  Essentially this show is Elvis Durand light.  They basically do Elvis Durand bits but a local level.  I do not blame Spezzano for this ranking, the problem is essentially, the replacement for Duffy adds nothing to the show.  Moose and Duffy were funny, the new guy is not funny and not interesting as well.  Sandy Waters was able to hide with Duffy and Moose but now that they are gone.  The band aid has been ripped clean revealing her inability to contribute to the show, we know she is safe because she is married to the program director but none the less.  The show is drowning and Spezzano needs help desperately and shake up here.  Just so you don't think I hate PXY during the Duffy era this show would have been 2 and maybe 1.

Top Ten Reasons Lacrosse SUCKS

Had enough of those arrogant Lacrosse players.  Here are ten reasons lacrosse sucks and is the stupidest sport in America   10.  The Sport is whiter then snow.  1.9% of the players playing at Division one schools are minorities.  It is almost like non athletic whites found a loophole and a sport they can excel at, without having to worry about "brown" players showing them up. 9. Its not played in 75% of the country, high schools do not have this sport in most of the south and west.  Lacrosse is played in the pockets of upstate NY, Virginia, Maryland and some areas of California. 8.  You cannot see the stupid ball, try watching a game, you though trying to follow a hockey puck was hard. 7.  The players constant have their sticks with them, do football players wear their helmets, do basketball players dribble basketballs in the hall? No.  6.  The Jerseys, they look like football jerseys, its like saying we are football players only with smaller penises.  I mean a psych

Top 21 Reasons Wegmans SUCKS

I am so sick of everybody talking about how great Wegmans is, and especially rochestarians.  This is 21 reasons that Wegmans actually sucks.  It is a response to the 25 reasons Wegmans is awesome 21.  The parking, if I wanted to have to park like I was at a sporting event I would.  I do not like spending ten minutes navigating a parking lot 20. The Limousine Liberals that frequent Wegmans.  They are all about helping the poor, as long as they are not in their grocery store. 19. The Happy Employees-  Give me the "I hate the world" mentality of the Topps employee.  I am in a grocery store I am there to shop, not find out how much you love your job.  Just scan the groceries. 18. When I am out of town, and run into somebody from Rochester.  They bring up Wegmans, not the Lilac Festival, Sea Breeze, Garbage Plates, Frederick Douglas, or Susan B Anthony.  They talk about a fucking grocery store 17.

Is Richard Davis from Flip this House Broke?

Richard Davis came hard charging into the American viewing public in 2007 as the star of the television show Flip This House.  The show featured Richard flipping houses for a profit with the help of his lovely assistant Ginger.  A lot has changed since that TV show, for one Richard married Ginger, after divorcing his wife. Richard sued A and E and won a 4 million dollar verdict.  He then launched a competing show on TLC, which failed miserably. But recently, it appears Richard and his company Trademark properties has fallen on hard times.  He was recently sued by a real estate agent for trying to nudge him out of a restaurant deal: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20111208/PC1602/312089885 The real interesting segment of the lawsuit is where, the real estate agent contends that Richard Davis and Trademark Properties have outstanding liens and are in serious debt.  You might think this is just ramblings of a lawsuit.  Except, read this lawsuit against him from Wells Fargo, a
