Jason's problem, which has nothing to do with race, is that he talks too fast and way too much. Plus the laugh kills me.
He was great as a part of a three man weave with B&B. He just got exposed with a full time shift.
I still think he could be a great host but paired with the right person(s). I met the dude twice and I think he's a good guy who bought into his own hype a little too much.
Dude can hoop, that's for sure.
I’m not a true old school score head. I probably started listening around 2000.
I don’t recall what my first memory of Goff was but I do remember when he left for Atlanta and I remember being genuinely happy for him and disappointed for the station.
Then, he came back. Aaaaannnndddddd it was bad from the get go.
What aggrevates me now when he calls in is, as someone else said, the guy has never attempted to get better at his craft. He’s just a yacker. He talks. Has little interest in listening. He claims to champion dialogue and seeking to understand before being understood as virtues but he doesn’t do it at all.
He literally texted Parkins asking to come on yesterday. Then, Danny introduced him and mentioned that Goff asked to come on and Goff immediately chastised him for mentioning it. His defenses are always up and he finds insults where there just aren’t any...
I get why they have him on...but his role of the token black voice who can come on and ramble for 25 minutes is not dialogue.
I’d love to hear a true discussion between him and Doug Granville. Doug is a genuinely thoughtful guy. Goff...he has a perspective to be sure. And there’s value in his perspective but he has a long way to go in terms of delivery, empathy, and personal accountability
he was great with Dan and Terry because a) dude played the drops and therefore I must surmise he has a good sense of humor b) when he chimed in it contributed and would pull Dan or Terry out of whatever lull they'd stumbled into and c) yes, he had great perspective and called it like it was
He says his radio inspiration is McNeil? I'd have guessed the guy from MicroMachines. That's his major problem....talking too much, talking over the top too much. My initial guess was nervousness but then the months unfolded and the pattern never changed.
