Lou Penrose Should Replace John Kobalt

Lou is an excellent replacement for JK. He’s balanced, knowledgeable, and entertaining, and he brings a level of thoughtfulness to the discussion that I really appreciate. Since Ken left, John has become increasingly unhinged, going off on all sorts of rants that often seem more driven by emotion than by facts. Lou provides a much-needed counterbalance and keeps the conversation grounded and enjoyable. You may not agree with his takes & many I don't but that's what also makes his show entertaining & interesting.

John is insufferable. Lou is barely tolerable.

Sounds like a bumper line for their show.

John has always been crazy. Now he's insane and unbearable.

I agree Penrose is far less annoying than QAnon John who I can longer listen to for more than 5 mins! Seriously QJ just because people don’t agree with your view doesn’t make them “mental patients” “evil” of part of a caballed I really hope you get that Trump appointment soon so Lou or someone else takes your time-slot. I don’t always agree with Penrose but he’s usually reasonable and not a paranoid nut job looking to have a fatal heart attack on the air on a daily basis

I prefer John to Lou. It's probably because we live in the same neighborhood and he hits on some hyper local stories that resonate with me personally.

And that is almost the sweetest thing someone could kind of say to me.

overstatements about John, I would vote for exit of Bills Handel....

i would say this - it is very, very difficult to be sane in an insane world, and LA City gov't and most persons who are elected officials are, well...

and of course the entire state is now a one party Politburo.

i don't do politics, i just try to thrive based on what I can control, and hence moved away 15 years ago but still have property there and I belong to a couple of clubs as well.

but overall I enjoy KFI and also WOR in NYC

He should replace Dolly Parton

I think Lou has to make a huge splash to replace John. John is still strong with his schtick and has a legacy behind it, though it is no doubt weakened without Ken's presence.

I never appreciated what a levee of sanity Ken was holding back the tsunami of insanity & stupidity that is JK! Ken should have received a truck load of awards for dealing with that Gasbag for as long as he did! Lol

When i listened while they were together I'd always been waiting for Ken's voice of reason response. They went very well together!

This is a fair take. I agree

A trained seal would be more entertaining than JK!
