  2. So Mutnansky thinks he's fiery. Oh brother. He hasn't accomplished very much to be that full of himself. I've already given up on this show. Six months from now they'll be at the bottom of the ratings.

  3. Today, thanks to the Weekday Weekend Show w/ Mut and Merloni, I found myself bored with talk about an exciting Bruins game (albeit a loss), the Celtics roster and the NFL labor situation, three pretty meaty issues. Nice work, fellas.

    On the plus side, after my requisite 20 minutes of snooze-inducing talk, I heard some really good music from the following bands or groups:

    Drive-By Truckers
    Eric Lindell
    999
    Jerry Joseph
    Let Loose
    & Social Distortion

    More music recommendations to come, possibly each and every Friday Mut and Merloni bore me away from the hot sports topics of the day.

    1. Until this week I was what they call a P1 as far as WEEI was concerned. That's someone who just turns on one radio station and leaves it on all day (I have no idea why they call it P1). This week, the only show I listened to after Tuesday was the morning show. At ten AM I switched to music and stayed there. I don't think Holley/Ordway is a good match and Mutt and Merloni is really boring and amateurish. These two have no personalities. I don't see how they can correct that.

      I guess they want a new audience. I hope they're ready to lose a lot of their old one.

      1. Apparently its called P1 because its the first preset on your radio. I couldn't have said it any better… I actually tuned in to D&C just because Dale was on. M&M really belong on the weekends… They just don't bring any gravitas to the show. Holley being paired up with Ordway is not going to solve Glenn's staleness problem. Its still an extremely awkward pairing, and Glenn has simply been around too long and made too much money to change now. It really does make you appreciate how good Dale is. He was good with Holley and Neumy (I started listening after Eddie A), and you can see how well he partnered with Callahan this week.

        Its a really unfortunate situation for Dale, but ironically, he comes out of this looking really good considering how awkward the new arrangement with the mid-day and drive time shows seems to be. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has tried listening to the 2 new arrangements, but has simply lost interest and changed the station.

  5. I agree with Jack. I'm in my car all day and used to listen to EEI all day – 5 days a week. Not anymore. The new midday show is awful. How anyone thought they would be entertaining is crazy. I give it 1 year before they make another switch.
