If Lamont and Tonelli's comments on their FB page are accurate, nothing can happen until 1/1/2025, as they are still under contract. Yes, their humor was definitely of the juvenile variety, but that was also part of their charm. Listening to those trying to fill their shoes a the Bone, I notice something: L&T would have their bits at defined times of the morning, so you'd always make sure you were near the radio when it was time for "Messing with Telemarketers" or such. I think it was a clever way to keep the listener engaged for the whole show, knowing when certain segments were coming up. They were genuine in their love of their listeners and enjoyed engaging with them. That's rare in an era of treating the average listener as a cash cow.
Gotta love all these critics, no talents with opinions. No idea what they are talking about. Bottom line L&T will have another job because they move product and audience.
The show had moments of pure brilliance. Unfortunately it also had a great deal of beyond cringe worthy prank calling bits so bad I had to turn the volume off. The Dicking with Telemarketers sketches were all the same joke - over and over again. Guy pretends to be be senile and inappropriate until some poor $9 an hour phone worker hangs up on him. They seemed to think it was hilarious and it was not - it was painful. Even worse were the prank calls, such as pretending to be the hotel where some lady's wedding is being held, claiming the room is now unavailable - but we can host it in our parking lot and bring in some picnic tables - all while the woman is in tears.
Then they had impersonators for Tom Cruise, Travolta, Trump, Arnold S., Biden and Kamala that were truly hysterical - way better than SNL. The fake news conferences were very funny. That was what I listened for.
Hey Sully.........just so long as they leave the bay area air waves. Complete Morons they were!
ReplyDeleteLamont and Tonelli, LOL
ReplyDeleteWay too overrated jocks who thought they were a lot funnier than they really were. Especially Lamont.
ReplyDeleteNo one over 60 is being courted by any radio station
ReplyDeleteThey weren’t funny but apparently they thought they were and they fooled management into thinking they were for years.,
ReplyDeleteYou idiots are clueless. To last that long in a market like the Bay Area speaks volumes about Lamont and Tonelli.
ReplyDeleteThey worked cheap until they didn't

This blog post must be how the Lamont-and-Tonelli-to-KDFC rumor got started. Guess we'll all know for sure on January 2nd.
