Honestly, I’m extremely torn on reviewing B&T. I could justify a 5 star as easily as a 1 star rating. Reasons it can be a 5: Josh and Chick carry the show daily. Without them, there is no humor, period. Josh was a perfect addition to the show and I hope he and Chick remain for a long time. I would ramble on, but they are simply the best parts of the show. When either is out, the show really struggles. Reasons it can be a 1: Honestly the main reason is Tom. When he’s not using his dry fake laugh, he is either attempting some poor excuse at humor which is usually a repeated joke, interrupting someone, or grinding the show to a halt with some dated, crude (not funny crude), and/or incredibly niche reference which draws audible sighs from the others. I realize it is his show, but he has to let it go. He drags the show down in a multitude of ways. When he was out for a medical procedure, the others put on great shows. Tom is as disconnected from his average listener as anyone. Pat, while funny when he just contributes, adds nothing with his songs. Clever as some are, they are devoid of humor. The guests. Not the regulars, but the “stars” that come on are usually awkward interviews, which is honestly probably caused by Tom. Tom seems to forget how to have a conversation anytime someone comes on and half the time brings their race, disability, size, you name it, into the interview. I always skip them now. I’m not sure how to describe Kristy. I don’t think she really adds anything at all. Jess Hooker by contrast is usually contributing to the room and a much better personality. Another who could be removed and not hurt the show at all. Finally, the old bits. They are overplayed and since there are not new ones…. we hear the same ones over and over. I have grown up on this show for 30+ years now and I’m a fan and will remain one, but there needs to be some fresh blood.
Finally a funny talk show!!! 2hr shows, the sarcasm, the bits, very minimal ads, perfection!!!
B & T is like my emotional support show. It’s been a part of my life for over 20 years and it makes me laugh every single day. Josh and Willie have been wonderful additions to the show and I can’t imagine it without them anymore! I was so sad when the full shows stopped coming out every day. I’m so glad they’re back!!! You guys rock!
Years ago when Bob left, I had no idea how this show would recover. However, Josh has been a great addition and I’ve found myself preferring his addition to listening to some of the older shows with Bob. Please start adding more full episodes though. You dumped a ton of them in early June and I loved listening to the episode, but now I’m running out and all they’ve been posting lately is extras that are a month old and a repeat of the full episodes I’ve already heard.
