It was a different time, Richards wanted to be a shock jock at a time when that was big in radio. His Michelle Wie and Kiprusoff accents and similar bits I found entertaining but he was a try hard and his style of show has certainly "expired" Boomer was just Boomer, and whenever you get that type of show, thats what makes it great, timeless and ever evolving.
I have always listened to 960 but really got into the show over Covid when, for three months I had nothing to do. Waking up at 6 and listening to the stupid candy brackets and their interviews of anyone and everyone were the highlight of my day in many ways. Also interesting today when interviewing Stephan Brunt, how he asked what the future held and Brunt was kind of speechless given what ha recently happened, once again, to Rogers radio.
