BREAKING | LANCE ZIERLEIN JOINING CHARLIE PALLILO?





Funny how things happen.  Sunday Morning HMW learned from a trusted source, Lance Zierlein will be partnering up with Charlie Pallilo Drive Time Show.

Last year when Lance Zierlein (790) and Josh Innes (610) exchanged a few words via Twitter, Lance made a comment if he were to come to Drive Time, it would be a different store.  That was on January 4th, 2012, and seven months later, he got his chance to prove it.


Lamont  - Were you serious about the $5,000 bet with Josh?  Would you really consider moving to the Drive Time slot to compete.

Lance Zierlein - Absolutely.  I have all the confidence in the world in my abilities and I would be more than happy to do that.  Would my program director or GM be willing to allow me to do that?  I don't know.  I've been sold to advertisers as a morning host with a morning time slot and there are already hosts who work in the 2 PM (Matt Thomas) and 3-6 PM (Charlie Palillo) slots.

HMW Q&A with Lance Zierlein and Josh Innes after their "Twitter Dust Up"

  Last year in the midst of Lance's transition from 1560 The Game to 790 Morning Show, Lance took a vacation.  Approximately a year later, we are seeing Lance on vacation but could he again come back in a different capacity?

Props to Craig Shelton for dropping the Sunday Bomb Shell.  More details to come. Keep it locked and loaded on HMW.

Lamont,
Do you think 790 regrets bringing Zierlein aboard? It seems like he is not much of a fit if he isn't partnered w/Granato. The 3 man experiment was a disaster..each spent too much time trying to talk over one another. I don't think CP will put up with LZ's bullshit either. The first time LZ veers off topic, and starts up with one of his tired ass "comedy bits" CP will be there too slap his punk ass and get him to refocus. After all, it is still CP's show, Lance or no Lance. It just seems to me that Lance needs to be with someone who doesn't mind playing the backup role, and Granato was perfectly fine with that. How do you think this ultimately shakes out? I give it a few months before CP realizes that management needs to find another time slot for this asshole. I say pair him up with Mighty, and throw them on in the evenings.

I have sayin for years that charlie needed a side kick
Charlie can play the straight man..wow they should kick azz and take names

Earlis said...

Oh right the Rocket Contract!
They have bucks

Man, Charlie is about as dull as ribs with no barbecue sauce. At least, lance brings a comedy side to his knowledge of sports. Look at the ratings, a lot of people would agree with me.

I still think J&R would beat Lance and Charlie in the ratings, but the ratings will be closer. I think 790 should pair up John and Lance in the morning when Granato's 1560 contract is over.

I think I like this idea. Charlie is dull all alone, but Lance could have good chemistry with him and if si they could blow that blowhard idiot and Rich Lord out of the water. I hope so.

Hmmmm.... This would be an odd pairing but I'd be open to it and would def listen in. The 2-7 pm is generally bad. J&R is more entertaining while Palillo is more substantive. After working all day and getting in my car at 5 I don't wanna listen to Charlie break down statistics or have a cerebral debate on which baseball player deserves a place in the Hall of Fame and that's why I tend to listen to J&R. I just wanna laugh and chill a little. If 790 could give me just a little more entertainment I would make the switch and I think a lot of others would too. I don't mind Josh but he's only tolerable in short burst of listening and Rich is just a waste of space. This could be the force that flips the see-saw. 790, make this happen. What do you have to lose? The Big Show sucks in its current format.

Lance isn't going to make a dent in the ratings whatsoever. J&R will continue to beat the shit out of the competition and take names. Lance will be stepping on Charlie's toes within the first 2 weeks, book it. Fuck Lance Zierlein in his stupid ass!

Van,
"At least Lance brings a comedy side to his knowledge of sports." Are you fucking kidding me? Comedy? Is that what you call it? Wow, now I've seen everything. You're probably the type who eats Lance's tired ass shit up with a damn spoon. This guy is a piece of shit, yet you're too busy sniffing his jock to even realize it. This Lance character is a damn phony. The quicker you realize it, the better. Get the hell off of my computer, Van!

Rick,

I'm fairly new to listening regularly to sports talk in houton (a couple of years). Just curious why you say LZ is a piece of shit? Does that just represent that you do not enjoy his style? He's a phony in what way?

Van said...

Rick,
Dam, if Lance makes u that mad then I suggest u divorce him cause don't no real man get that mad over a sports show! If you don't like my opinion, that's fine, but that's how I feel. You must work for 610 radio, or josh innes, cus that was a lot of hate u got off ur chest, snow white! Let real man talk sports, not the one who talk about eating shit cause I can give u some gum that may help that mouth out!

Josh penis is a pompus ass thats full of himself and his washed up hack dad. Hes not funny and discredits rich lord. His sports knowledge is subpar as well. Lz respects cp and will add some life to a sometimes dull show with his comedic takes and strong nfl knowledge. Its a great move and will blow joke and rich show and 610 (who have nothing but the texans keeping them on the air) out of the water.

I like substance. CP has it. LZ does not. For me, adding LZ to the best sports talk is a bad move. J&R are decent, but the quality of conversation is not up to par.

I understand people who find CP boring. CP can be dry. Different strokes for different folks.
