I don't think JC Lajoie is as bad as you're describing him. Sure he goes over the top most of the time, and most of what he says is bullcrap but you need to understand the persona he's trying to project himself to really lay back and take whatever he says with a huge grain of salt, and then you may start to enjoy him. My biggest issue with his show are his guests. I mean ****ing Pierre Rinfret, who still considers this guy? Yvon Pednault? Terrible. Surprisingly I'm finding Mike Bossy to be bad as well, he has some weird comments sometimes that make absolutely no sense.
The morning show is indeed very good. Langevin is annoying sometimes but Ciccone is great.
I'm not going to quibble with personal taste, however, Lajoie is unconventional and not an easy listen. He lays it thick and whatever is salvageable, requires you to tune out a lot of garbage, including as you rightly mentioned, guests that are in left field or who aren't topical any longer.
I'll stand behind what I wrote. His style is over the top ornery, he likes to delve too much into insignificant details. And he's also a language and political zealot in the mold of his hero, Réjean Tremblay. Plus, he's an advocate for Therrien to return as Habs' coach. 'Nuff said. Not for me, but hey, if you like him, why not.
