    Ron & Pomp are great. Joe is difficult to listen to. Always sounds as if he’s one bad day away from a breakdown.

    Now that Ron is gone, the show is just blah. Joe’s neurotic. Paul is boring. There are a few guests I listen to, and delete all the rest.

    You guys were hilarious talking about fishing and the fish that live in the three rivers but I just have to let you know that Allegheny white fish (or Monongahela white fish) are more commonly known as used condums. Do you feel enlightened?

    Everyone understands that in commercial radio, you have to play commercials, but this station is quite overbearing in that regard. Jake from State Farm is so ubiquitous, that he is often heard twice in the same break!
