I spent 5 hours in the car today, traveling back-and-forth to Philadelphia for a meeting. It wasn't all bad as there wasn't that much traffic and I got to listen to a lot of Howard Stern. Unfortunately, the show replay that I was listening to on the way back this afternoon overlapped with much of what I'd already heard this morning. I was perfectly happy to listen to Howard's interview of Jason Ellis twice. Jason Ellis, while very screwed up, is always entertaining. Of course, maybe it's because he's so screwed up that I find him so entertaining.
Anyway, while listening to Jason Ellis twice was fine, I didn't want to listen a second time to Howard berate Richard and Sal for their latest lame phony phone calls. So, I switched over to ESPN Radio and caught a little bit of The Doug Gottlieb Show.
After just one 10-minute segment with Doug, I quickly remembered why it had been so long since I'd last listened to him. Specifically, I'd forgotten how tiresome, repetitive, annoying, condescending, strident, disingenuous, repetitive, patronizing, sanctimonious, arrogant, arduous, bombastic, unimaginative, and, (yes, one more time) repetitive I find his commentary.
Wow. I feel much better now.
This is where the magic happens.
