    I will miss Mike in the morning but admittedly he was just Seth's straight man. Seth and Sean may be too much together but I'm interested to hear them.

    Regarding Rich, I got the impression that he's just been mailing it in for awhile, though no more than that hack John Lopez.

    Zero interest in listening to Stoerner and whoever.

    And Lopez still has a job there? To paraphrase Meltzer, Unfair.

    Says he grew up in Houston, then says Houston is in South Texas. Must be that SEC education.

    Lopez was unlistenable 20 plus years ago, I'm shocked he's still on the air in Houston.

    Seth and Mike had a great show that was smart, funny and informative. Looks like I’m adding 610 in addition to Nike to my boycott list. I listened to 610 every day from when I wake up until I drive home. Don’t **** with my routine. God I hate this world. I ****ing hate that hick sounding Arky trash known as Clint Stoerner. **** YOU 610

    I listened to Rich Lord growing up on 740 when he’d do Sportsbeat with Charlie Pallilo. Postgame Oilers show too. The truth is he has been mailing it in for years now and was lazy with show prep and info. Is Sean Pendergast gone now too? I can’t listen to the ****face Sean Salisbury in the morning on 790 and John and Lance on 97.5 has worse production value and sound than high school radio. For Christ’s sake they could do something to make it not sound so tinny. Lance has become a cunt too, especially after everyone was rightfully saying his brisket that he smoked looked dry as **** and more like a slab of beef jerky.

    This, Rich was a perfect balance to Charlie. Neither of them are great to listen to for very long otherwise.

    I don't listen to much besides some of John and Lance these days, but credit to Rich for sticking around. He has a great radio voice and appeals to the average Joe, very listenable to the average fan -- not great if you want to get deep into topics though.

    I might give Pendergast and Payne a shot -- I'm usually driving to work at 6:30 (before The Bench) and didn't care for Meltser always seeming to steer it to Texans talk.

    I'm not sure what to say other than I'm just impressed and a little bewildered that someone that in 2019 someone has this much passion about AM radio

    I’d listen to 610 and MaD radio from the moment I would get up and the rest of the shows including listening to the idiot aggy John Lopez until I parked my car in the garage after work. It’s a huge part of my routine that’s been flushed down the toilet.

    Very interesting pairings. I wonder if Kamala will continue to work in the nbatv studio rotation. They also need to change the mid day guys too, they suck. But these are moves in the right direction...I wonder if Meltzer and Innes link up and do that podcast now

    They need to get Landry another partner. Lopez hasn't had a good take in years. And I liked Meltser, but Sean is cool too.

    With all due respect to Rich Lord, this was a long time coming.

    He was mostly the Ed McMahon to whomever was his co-host through all those years. The only thing missing was the background chuckling.

    Still, have to admit this is a monumental day in Houston Sports Radio history. I haven't lived in H-town since 2012 and I still think this is interesting news.

    Lance making fun of 610 for talking too much football. Lance works for the NFL and even he thinks they talk too much football.

    Yeah. The guy had a cup of coffee in the NFL and now he's some kind of expert.

    I can't speak for everyone, but Rich and Mike were not the problem for me. I can't stand the constant blathering about Texans minutiae, especially when the Rockets and Astros are contending. I am sick of hearing John Harris and Pancakes drone on and on about 5th round picks.

    One question though - is the new PD the same guy who forced Paul Gallant on the morning show? If so then he should be the first to go instead of making decisions about everyone else.
