Forgive me if someone else already pointed this out


So Goff goes off on a tangent about Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake (I happen to agree with the Giggler on that) and then they came back from break....

Jason: Look at the text screen

Dan (in a low incredulous voice): Why are people pushing back on this?



So, at that moment it dawned on me that Dan is trying to play the Boers role and let Jason be New Dan. This is a terrible idea on many levels.

Dan cant do Terry. Make fun of Boers all you want, he was funny and knew how to play that role. Bernstein cant be the crotchety old guy just kind of laughing at things. He's still waaaay too angry for that.

On the other hand, Goff is no Dan Bernstein. He cant do the intellectual superiority or very important radio thing.

Instead of a dumb recasting of B and B, just be a new show. They are both decent in certain ways, it will probably be good.

That was the bit of the show I caught yesterday as well. Goff is too hung up on the text screen and Twitter. I also heard when Goff and Dan were talking with Dan Pompei. Goff was actually asking cogent, intelligent questions.

Goff has good sports thoughts. He obviously pays attention and is engaged. Someone mentioned it in another thread that Goff is not the problem. It is the Bernstein halo on him that causes him to go social activism. I dunno because it's not like Dan is leading him to water. Goff has been the aggressor in most conversations.

That's another thing. He may not have Mulli's length, but Dan is one of the all time worst interviewers, too.

Loaded or Leading doesnt even do justice to what Dan does.

It's like

Dan: Have you noticed (insert 30 second diatribe about thing that is obviously taking place) that this is more part of the issue now?


Guest: Yes. I have. (repeats what Dan just said)



Riveting

Not really.

The content of Dan's interview questions suck, but he's one of like two people at the station who can ask an actual question that doesn't turn into:

a) a long-winded statement; or

b) a question so long that the interviewee doesn't even know what is being asked.

Low bar, I know, but I'll take the leading questions over diarrhea of the mouth.

a) a long-winded statement; or

b) a question so long that the interviewee doesn't even know what is being asked.

He is awful when he gets on social issues or criticizing people's clothing style.

Milwaukee Bucks talk!

yeh yeh yeh you can tell me my shoes look like a fam but I got a wife and kid

so i forgot to renew my special xm deal so i lost streaming for a few days. so for 4 days this week, i've had to flip the dial around on the way home to find something to listen to.

each time i turned to b&g this is what they were talking about :

- outrage still about kaepernick
- outrage about timberlake
- outrage about kaepernick again!!
- outrage about the girl not getting a trophy for golf.


and by they, i mean goff. he basically dominated the conversation on these topics for the few minutes i listened. and you are right RPB, bernstein totally played the boers part in each one of these.

They were outraged about Timberlake?

Goff did seem quite upset at the seemingly disparate treatment of Janet Jackson vs Justin Timberlake after the half time show "equipment" malfunction.

Don't most people realize she got the worst of the treatment?

Last week? Two weeks ago? I dunno.

Salsa went on a huge rant about single guys with cats. He was right. It's a weird situation and those dudes are weird.

But don't take up a whole segment out let alone 2. He did the usual, "OMG, text screen is blowing up! The cat people are out!"

Look, with any text rebuttals those people are .0001% of listeners who even bother to text. Stop making a huge table pounding deal out of any disagreement.

Take a Midol for fucks sake.

Well, that's a slightly better and more creative excuse than BigFan's ole, I walked into a room and the Score was on. But only slightly.
