I miss RUSH

nobody holds a candle to him. He had a great mix of intellect and entertainment.
The big guys in talk radio are great in only a couple of things.
Levin is great on the legal front and laying out the plans of the left and what the right need to do.
Dennis Prager is great intellectually and on social issues.
Bongino is good at political issues but I don't get near as much from him as I did Rush and he isn't as entertaining personally.

Rush’s generation was 3 generations ago, which if the above is true means there should be 3 more out there somewhere.

Time to move on

Mark Steyn is who you want

Don’t know where he is

Michael Berry is about the only one I listen to.

Michael Berry is too arrogant and tries too hard to be a good old boy. He and Chuck Knipp (aka Shirley Q. Liquor) know each other pretty well (both from Orange), and Chuck has posted some scathing emails he'd received from Michael - they basically hate each other, and Chuck has more or less said plainly that Michael is in the closet like a prom dress.

I like Jesse Kelly a lot, but unfortunately, Michael is his mentor, and he gets some of that Michael Berry arrogance on him from time to time. If he can shed that and stop talking down to his audience and trying to be a phone Nazi, he could really do well.

Bongino is as close as you are gonna get. Everyone should support him and his website.

I've wondered where and how he would have dealt with the 'steal'. Given the power of his public voice, the Left would have had to deal with him if he told the whole truth straight up. Which when challenged, he would have. Maybe that's why the Good Lord called him in.

I think about him often when I flip to WJBO at lunch. We were just lucky to have him

Michael Barry is a good talker, and seems quite knowledgeable. He wastes too much time with playing musical tributes and talking about stuff I am not interested in.

He's smart but he needs to quit a few things:
1. Talking down to his audience, like "We need to have an uncomfortable conversation"
2. Wordplay like "Let's unpack this", "Just let that wash over you", etc. It's too gay.
3. Playing the same shitty music over and over, mostly on Fridays. I got to where I'd turn it off every Friday morning when that stupid-arse country rap song starts and switch to Walton & Johnson. Then I realized I liked W&J more, so I listen to them a couple of hours each day M-F, and don't bother catching MB evening show anymore.

In MB's defense, it's hard to do a good show 5h/d every day. If he could tighten his show and stop being the radio equivalent of Florida-Georgia Line, he'd be much better. But he has that redneck (the only authentic redneck quality) habit of thinking "Well I'm doing well, so I must be doing something right" with the implication being that any criticism is beneath him. Sadly Jesse Kelly has picked this up from him. I wish they would both take it up a notch, as their talents are being partially wasted.

Steyn and Wilkow are who I listen to when i can.

I liked Phil Valentine as well (RIP).
