The advertised big programming announcement was
just Bernie and Sid's show, which appeared here
long ago.
They'd be much better off with Noam Laden and Sid.
Bernie is too lame as a host, and more or less
agrees with Sid most of the time.
Noam is smooth-hosting and left wing, and Sid
would be the perfect quip maker against him.

I gave the new show 40 seconds. Bernie is too painful to listen to.

If you listened to Noam Laden you'd clearly know his politics are left wing. That's not a slur. His smoothness though sometime comes off as phony.

I'm listening now. No chemistry and they are talking over each other.

I have a great phony detector, and Noam strikes me as just a nice guy; and he

liked talking to Dagen each morning, and it showed. That made it good radio.
He spots only the downside of regrettable situations though, not seeing
perverse consequences that right wingers spot to fixing it. So he winds up
on the left politically.

It's Imus's radio judgment at work.

I've been waiting for him to do something funny again since 2007.

This show may not last a week unless they develop a rhythm. Sid is speed talking politics unconvincingly and Bernie is his usual non-Imus uncomfortable fish out of water self. They are taking calls but that's just a third voice in the noise.

Both Sid and Bernie are quipsters, not hosts.
They need somebody more authoritative to quip
against.
Sid does the better job in taking down authority
using self-deprecation. Bernie does un-thought-of
connections.

Who remembers when Bill and Hillary released a
statement of regret on the death of Buddy their
dog, hit by a car. He will be much missed etc.
"That's just what they said about Vince Foster"
Bernie quipped.

Just recently Deborah Valentine, a loser WABC
host, emailed Imus that he was her favorite
broadcaster. Sid said that he got the same email.
Sid usually wins the quip contests.

Deborah Valentine fills in on the pre-Imus hour when Noam is off. She's awful - low energy, slow talking, and no pacing.
Bernie said this morning that Sid disappeared for awhile after the first hour of Bernie and Sid. They eventually found him but that's not a good start for a guy who's been fired for not showing up.

Let me help you understand that. I am referring to what he says on issues such as being pro-refugee, pro-gay marriage, etc. Whatever the liberal position of the day is, you'll hear him support it.
The comment about his radio style of being smooth was a comment about his delivery and whether he is really as nice as he sounds. Maybe he is, but the guy never loses his cool or gets excited. His radio delivery is not why I said his politics are left wing. It's what he says not how he says it.

Well somehow I connected your comment about Laden's smoothness
with his being liberal. Pardon me.

I have listened to 77 WABC for years and Noam was excellent to wake up to. I love his morning hour before the Imus show (which tended to get a bit over the top first thing in the morning). I was very happy to hear that Imus was retiring because he was becoming meaner than a snake and it was really time for him to move on. But Bernie and Sid ... omg ... I can't even stand it first thing in the morning. Reruns of their show is the 5 o'clock hour. Who wants that much Bernie and Sid??? Why would they get rid of Noam for reruns of Bernie & Sid? The program directors over here must be on crack. It reeks of Imus who hated Noam because Noam was actually better than Imus and he knew it. Just say'n. Now I am listening to FM radio in the morning. I couldn't handle hearing Sids voice first thing in the morning. I sent him a FB message about this and he was all over about how wonderful they are. Total narcissists. lol

I started listening to Noam to hear the daily call
from Dagen McDowell, which phone calls sent Imus
over the edge for disloyalty and all sorts of
crap like that.
Imus -1 Noam +1 on that one, in my opinion.
Sid and Bernie aren't good without living in fear
of the voice of a tyrant, however. Too shallow
and stupid humor.
Noam's downside is his weird preference for dopey
sadz news stories. But the's a radio pro and easy
to listen to.
