Tom Leykis Show 2.0 review Tom's personal Hail Mary

Tom Leykis is back after a 3 year hiatus I would call myself a 101 student.  His show has always been entertaining when he gets into the Leykisisms the bread and butter of his brand.  My only constructive criticism is his format needs to evolve, the endless ass kissing from listeners gets a little tired and the lack of celebrity guests lowers the entertainment value which at the shows current level is problematic.  Mr Leykis is trying to re-establish his buzz that's cool and all but I would like to see some new sh*t some growth I mean really 3 years is a  long time to hear the same thing we heard 3 years ago.

The Leykis show is offensive to women as a result NO WOMEN CALL IN it gets tired hearing guy after guy call in.  Its a locker room with almost homoerotic tendencies there are no woman on the staff too many damn dudes.

Tom needs to get more experts on the show and grow. Shows like Love Lines are great Dr Drew was a great host who didn't exclude he was an expert that could back up his advice with medical knowledge he had an endless well to draw from.  The Leykis show has an air of negativity a novelty which may be lethal to the show's future.  I think Tom should try to do more good for the community address issues like cancer take an interest in youth issues don't just write someone off--- offer alternatives as opposed to dismissing listeners that don't fit into the 101 values.

Now I will say that Tom Leykis is a pioneer with what he is doing, Mr Leykis is an out of the box thinker instead of selling out for an okay paycheck he's using his own resources to create an empire make no mistake Leykis is a creative talent to be reckoned with.  His tenacity is something to be admired and think it will open the door to many other names following his lead.  And what model is he following?  I believe he is getting help from top creative talents but once the bugs get worked out he'll have something special going on.

This new show is Leykis's personal Hail Mary it feels good hearing the take me outs again!
