Before I explain that, I must turn off Whaddya Know? I don't mind this show when I'm trying to nap or I want to feel superior to other Americans. WBUR, the NPR station here in Boston, only plays the first hour of this two-hour program. I have a theory that WBUR only plays this much of the show so that the typical Cantabridgian can think: "ha ha, we're cultured folks on the East Coast and these plebes can't tell a joke from a sausage." WBUR doesn't even break in during this pledge drive, so they must think no one wants the show.

WBUR must consider 1 to 3 pm on Saturday a write-off. Whaddya Know? comes on at 1; Only a Game follows at 2. Only a Game the sports show for people that don't watch sports and likely got beat up by jocks well into their twenties. Since Boston has a strange relationship with sports, it makes sense that OaG is a local show.

Now back to my original point )
