I caught about 20-25 minutes of these two this afternoon and one of them (I really can't tell who is who) keeps interrupting callers. Several callers have had to say "I was about to get to that." or "That's the point I'm trying to make.", and it's not like the callers had been droning on for several minutes without going anywhere. Pretty poor conversational skills, especially for a radio host.

I would have listened more but that was getting on my nerves and I had to turn it off.

I think Ginger is attractive, but also thought she was in her mid-30s.

Beni -- several years ago, and there's a thread about this here somewhere, Lawrence was teasing "big news" about his relationship with Ginger. IIRC he had her on the show to put to rest rumors that he and Ginger were "involved." People, apparently, had been talking. I'm guessing the whole thing was a figment of Laurence's imagination and Ginger just went along with it to be nice. He had a habit of talking about various women at NBC in a characteristically creepy, stalkerish way that would lead you to assume he's socially awkward and inexperienced with women.

Around the same time, Silvy would occasionally mention Ginger on the air and she was a guest on S&W several times. That was a little awkward, too, but Silvy was not as creepy or jr. high about it as Laurence was.

Listening to them for the first time tonight. Pretty solid show so far, and a great interview with a guy from San Diego regarding Jed and McCleod who are coming to the Cubs.

Connor is the truth, but unfortunately sounds like an 8th grader talking... Joe O?... Eh... Extremely un-informed and heavily reliant on deadspin for stories. Id put any amount of money on the person cutting off every caller referenced in the previous post being Joe O. Dude's got no tact. Waaaaaaay too fratty... I can only handle so many smug douches on my fav radio station.

Joe O and Rock was a terrible show. Joe O is just bad. He's got Hanley's humor, Bernstein's warmth, and Boers current sports knowledge

I listen to this show pretty regularly, but I cannot distinguish between their voices, and they almost never identify themselves. One of them is extraordinarily dumb, and the other one is pretty funny.

I do too and this is still correct.

I thought, after a while I'd get it, and I almost thought I did but...no.

I think Joe O is the stupid one and Connor is the funny one. But they do sound a lot alike.

I can differentiate their voices, and idk why Connor is considered funny... Examples?... I mean he's good for a newb, but humorous doesn't really pop in my head.

Connor has a quick wit but kinda Hanley's it by forcing it too much.

Joe O. is simply the worst.

Yeah, his airtime kind of seems like a forced nepotistic situation...

Was there ever a reason given for all the hatred by Loho and crew towards Rock after his departure? You could sense the tension on the "Joe O and Rock Show" and Laurence would throw some cheap shots in too during his show...especially after Rock left.

Loho was probably hoping for a 3-some with Ginger & Ranger.
