I try to listen. As soon as I hear Matt’s Good Morning Strippers I turn it. It is a worn out routine. Don’t dislike the guy but he is extremely hollow when it comes to taking calls and giving feedback
So anyway, I try to turn it to 610 and there’s Lopez who has been the weak link every station he has been.
Then there’s the knowitall former football player who always wants to press on the audience that he is smarter than the TMs and belittles his cohost Gordy.
Kalu is a nice guy but his takes are worthless. He admittedly only knows football and doesn’t follow other sports. A caller can have the dumbest take and crickets from Kalu.
Wexler is probably the most stats savvy of the local guys and does his homework. However I have heard others say they struggle to listen to his voice and feel he speaks with a condescending tone.
I really try to listen but they force topics down our throats and don’t allow for variation. This allows for one type of listener.
I think they’re all condescending because they think they know more than us. In reality, they don’t. I like Kalu but he is strictly a football guy. He and Greg Koch had a good show on 790.
790 is hard to hear a mere 40 miles outside of town. 610 only talks about the Texans. 97.5 FM (?) has worse range than 790. Add to that I cannot listen to the Astros on iHeart because we live too close to Houston for the online version, though the signal peters out south of Pearland.
