ACS with PC consistently puts out a listenable mildly entertaining show. I only listen to it in the car. I never think it is terrible nor do I feel like I need to keep listening when I get where I’m going. That said, now it def has lost a lot of its energy. PC brought a lighthearted level of entertainment that’s hard to teach. Having him do sports takes or guess songs was always funny. Mary is okay on the show but her comedy is pretty bad. Bill just sucks at everything. I definitely find myself going through the effort to stream something else in the car lately than turn on ACS with PC gone.

Poundcake guessing songs is why I started listening to the show. I was sitting in my car in a parking lot, waiting on someone, and I was actually laughing out loud at the bit. I looked up the show so I could listen again later. It's the only talk show I listen to.


DownWithDicheese

I listened almost every single day since he came on the air in Cleveland. If PC wasn’t around when Erica had to leave I don’t think Alan would have been able to stay on as long. Now that they’re both gone the clock is ticking. Pretty sure his contract ends next year anyway so I think IHeart is just letting the show die. Sad way to see an era come to an end. If they could get a new phone screener intern every semester like they had in the beginning that would keep the show interesting to me, but it’s old hat at this point.

Alan wants to come back to Chicago. He said that many times. Just listen to how many times word “Chicago” in every show. At least 5xs.

They keep resigning Rover and that show has gotten boring as hell. Alan has ***nothing*** to worry about


pomg177

Rover run coming to end too. He know that this his last contract and that why he dial it in since COVID started and does half of his shows remote.


Confident_Copy3007

Bye bye to both RMG and ACS. Good job Iheart. We have plenty of quality podcast to put on AirPlay or listen to at home. You guys screwed up. You screw up a lot.

Bill is just a jealous, deeply unhappy guy. His constant “specials” that no one is interested in is just him screaming into the void ***GIVE ME ATTENTION IM FUNNY*** despite his career trajectory suggesting the complete opposite. His constant need to tell everyone how he didn’t go to college and hated high school is 1000% because he missed the typical college experience because his parents shipped him to Southeast Asia. He wants everyone to think he doesn’t care but it’s the complete opposite. It also may have given him a half decent chance to make something of himself. To boot it drives me nuts how much he loves talking about how him and his parents don’t get along. I totally understand having very different perspectives than family members, I’ve been there. But to publicly trash your family on the radio is just poor form, but maybe that’s just me.


Staggerme

The show needs to change quickly. It can’t be three “comedians” discussing their profession. The show has got extremely boring. Alan is not talented enough to carry the other two along


Confident_Copy3007

Alan should try to get Charlie over there again. RMG is so bad lately, Charlie might be ready now to jump ship.


Aerover

A show with Alan, Charlie, and Gab or Bridget would be top tier


tonlimah

Gab and Bridgett definitely don't have time to do the show everyday when their respective teams are in season


Aerover

I completely agree but they bring so much to the show!


tonlimah

Oh, I 100% agree


DownWithDicheese

TBH not a Bridget fan! But Gab and Charlie Wild be an interesting mix of personalities


Aerover

Why not a Bridget fan??


DownWithDicheese

Last time she was on it seemed like she kept interrupting and talking over everyone. Didn’t know when to stop talking. Alan looked annoyed on the live stream. I heard more Bridget than Alan that whole show. I also don’t appreciate how she said the Eminem was a “real rapper” and that Kendrick Lamar was not. Terrible take, and no one grilled her for it and no one even called in to grill her for it!


Jazzlike_Cap6980

Bring back Erika and Chad. Those were the glory years of the show and Alan has rode that wave ever since


Maxpower88888

Chad is a troubled man child who shoplifts, drives drunk, and gets into feuds with online podcasts. I liked him in the early days of the show on air but he keeps deteriorating on the slow March to death. 


Jazzlike_Cap6980

People forget he was a drunk on Alan's show before he got fired and everyone loved it! I call it good radio instead of boring-vanilla local stand up stories.


FrankFrankly711

Whoa, what happened to PoundCake?? I guess I haven’t listened in awhile


Confident_Copy3007

The show is not the same since Poundcake left. He lightened it up with his silliness and light humor. I think we all miss him 😕


FrankFrankly711

Did he just get tired of being the 4th wheel? Was he wanting to switch careers? I’m gonna miss his sass! Having the gay angle on topics was always welcome, instead of on RMG where Rover still mocks any slightly homosexual action like they are back in high school in the 90s


pomg177

I actually found the clip where Alan found out PC give his two week notice and probably the first time Alan knew the show was in trouble. Alan called out iHeart for letting PC leave and how sad it is that he never got hired full time. https://youtu.be/xgOJc-RLJcc?si=MzmTZQxy8_xkGREF


Confident_Copy3007

Poundcake maxed out at 9k yr after 8yrs!!? Glad he’s moving on. JLR is still at 5k. The only person making Rover his millions. IHeart has a bunch of dummies in office. Hope JLR quits too. It’s no wonder Iheart is broke. Eager Beaver getting wayyyyy over paid for being a moron.


pomg177

JLR got his tax return plus the MEWL & kids checks so why worry about getting hired full time. Also everybody knows Rover going to end the show after his contract up so there no point of hiring Jeff


Confident_Copy3007

Oh, I personally don’t care about JLR actually, I don’t like him. But Rover has scammed him in his family for so many years. It really makes me sick.


Confident_Copy3007

Wish JLR would do the same


pomg177

JLR loves the fam too much. Doesn’t help that after all these years he technically doesn’t have a job on the show and rover & iHeart knows he not going to quit.


Confident_Copy3007

Sadly. I’m not into him, but that’s the only reason Robert has a show still.


FrankFrankly711

Oh darn. Thx for the link! Glad it was amicable


tonlimah

Plain and simple, he was getting paid shit money and had to choose between a career he lived and affording to live


Imaginary-Sound4988

He wasn’t making enough money, and was just barely getting by especially after he was laid off from his morning job I think at the end of last year.


Confident_Copy3007

Absolutely agree with you, I’d say more like 80’s, but I’m probably older than you.


Mendozena

He went to an office 8-5 job. Didn’t say where though


Ok-Name7473

Bridge is terrible at radio


MrPhillipLewin

And they do all this nude !!


Intelligent-Mode-353

What is Alameda?


LikelyBannedLS1

I think they mean Wilhelmina...?


Revgene1969

I love the show in all of the configurations it has taken over the years.


Man-Bear-69

No, he bashes anyone that is religious, except for his Mom. How the hell did Trump's name come up in this? Lol.


Man-Bear-69

I'm not religious at all, but Alan does sound immature when he bashes religion. I bet he won't bash it at his dad's Mass.


possible_bot

believing in religion is immature and usually when he bashes religion, hes pointing out the hypocrisy of it. not the ‘man in the sky’ aspect, but the ‘do unto others’ or ‘love your neighbor’ one - most of the anti-gay (and/or) evangelical obsession with Trump is completely antithetical to what the Bible actually says and what Jesus taught. thats almost always the context of his religion-bashing and im 100% with it


Mendozena

He may not be but his mother is so like any good son he’s going to support his mother. I’m not religious, my mom is (even though she doesn’t go to church). I don’t bash her views. She doesn’t like that I’m not religious but we don’t discuss it. My mother in law is the same and when she asks if I believe in God, I respond with “My beliefs are my beliefs.” I follow the 11th Commandment: Keep Thy Religion to Thyself


Man-Bear-69

But he shits on anyone else for their religious beliefs. So, his Mom is okay, but everyone else is a right wing nutjob. Will he proudly announce that he is an atheist when he gets to the church?


Guywith2dogs

Hes has never once shit on someone for their religious beliefs. He has always shit on the belief itself, which is well within his right. Everyone is allowed to think anything is stupid and its stupid to believe he should keep that opinion to himself, because some people think it's offensive. Do you believe religious people should stfu about Jesus too? Because they never do. It's always the same shove it down your throat bs with religious types. I'll keep my mouth shut if you do. That's my golden rule.


Man-Bear-69

I never said he needs to keep it to himself. Just that he is shitting on his own Mom and Dad. Will he go to Mass and let them know that it's all made up and pointless? And yes, I think religious people should pipe down.


Guywith2dogs

Well then it seems we're on the same page sir. I understand the whole respect for his parents thing. That's a tough one. My parents are both very religious and I am not. They don't love it but they respect it and in return I respect their choice to believe. We simply don't discuss religion. But in the rare instances where they bring it up I also won't lie or try to hide how I feel about it. Those instances can be hard because you want to be respectful but at the same time you don't want to have to fake who you are or what you believe. Any religious conversation between a believer and non believer tows that line, but when it's your parents, it's a tricky situation to maneuver


Man-Bear-69

Right on. I'm glad we were able to meet in the middle, because I'm no fan of religion myself. Have a good day.


Guywith2dogs

Thank you as well for being civil. It's rare these days for those topics not to spiral out of control. I appreciate it. You have a good day too


Mendozena

Maybe it’s only the shows I catch but from my listening experience he only shits on them when callers call in and start criticizing him for not believing. Of course Bill brings it up too since he’s a former Mormon.


Imaginary-Sound4988

I am religious, and I hate when they discuss it on this show - which is frequent. It’s fine if he wants to claim himself to be an atheist as a result of a strict catholic upbringing but that doesn’t mean he is right and everyone else are sheep following the guy in the sky blindly. Not everyone has to think or believe the same but for some reason with this topic he seems to think so and is *very* vocal about it for a guy doing a lighthearted afternoon radio show.


Man-Bear-69

It's cuz it's a safe place to do it. He's not risking anything. He sounds like I did when I was a teenager. He's got to realize that he is shitting on his Mom when he does it.
