How long is too long to wait on hold with your hot sports takes?

Beardown????

Bucky Chris · **Posted:** Mon Jul 08, 2013 9:37 pm

I've personally called in maybe a dozen times (only gotten through a few). If I had to wait on hold through a commercial slash update, I hung up. Can't imagine the payoff of waiting nearly 2 hours to talk on the radio is worth it.

Pretty shitty. Just tell the guy you won't be taking calls. Whatever, gotta be a bad ass I guess.

Disdain for the callers is all part of the Playbook

In Jason Goff's well-established Land Of Things That Can't Happen, he only takes calls at 5:62. You're going to be on hold for a while.

Of course it's worth it. You get to actually speak with Jason Goff, or, barring that, breathe nervously into the phone and simply bask in his gentle decency.

I'm not going to feel too bad for an idiot that waits nearly two hours to talk for 20 seconds about whatever worthless Georgia Bulldog thoughts he has.

I don't really care either way. Why someone feels a need to call in and espouse their viewpoint is beyond me in the first place, so I don't feel I could comment on how long they should wait to do so. Email or text and be done with it, although you'll never build up a brand like Steve from Elmhurst does. That gets him an occasional drink every two or three years.

Goff is a cancer and I think the good people of Atlanta are starting to realize it.

Waiting on the phone for nearly 2 hours just to talk to him doesn't help your argument.

the truth is people call and leave the phone off the hook. goff doesnt want to hang up on them because he would only have 3 callers left.

The way that station is crashing and burning, Goff better not bite those few hands that remain.

Being hostile towards your callers and mocking them is OK, I guess, when you have an established brand that you can piss away. Goff doesn't have that, maybe he should be more careful as he could have ZERO callers to mock.

When that station goes under, you just know Goff is gonna be on his knees begging Dear Leader for his job back. The problem is the guy who replaced him is about 10 times better than he was. He better hope 1000 is in the market for a Bernsie disciple.

CharlieFurbush, I noticed that a good 80-90% of your 30-something posts are about Goff. I guess he was mean to you when you were an intern, huh?

Actually in this thread, 100% of my posts are about Goff.

Of my total posts on this board, probably 5% are about producers, so not sure where you're getting that 80-90%.

We're both wrong.

Your first 6 were about how Goff sucks, and then your last 3. So I guess that's closer to 25%. But based on your sample size, that is still a lot.

I couldn't imagine reading 25% of Kid Cairo's 40000 posts if they were on one subject.

I was told there would be no math.

Radio guys telling everyone, through whatever avenues, about how long callers are willing to wait to give their pointless opinions is nothing new. Goff isn't doing anything wrong or even being slightly rude. He'll be fine, at whatever station and with whatever he's doing.

The Original Kid Cairo · **Posted:** Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:46 pm

I too have nothing negative to say about any of this.

Thanks KS, and I don't think that anyone replaced him. They've hired new people, but he wasn't replaced.

We can only hope you are 100% wrong with that last sentence.

Goff is alright by me. I wouldn't take the "disdain for callers" approach to my job, but fuck it, it's his career. You would think more of these producers/new generation would've learned more from what J Hood has done.

Whoever it was up there said Goff's replacement was 10x better. Or at least that's what I think dude was trying to say. If he's talking Tannehill, then aside from just the sound stuff, it's absurd to think that you can actually replace a Jason Goff.

As a sound guy, Tannehill is one of the best I've ever heard on sports talk, but he has no personality. For that reason, I prefer Goff and would only listen to B&B again if somehow he replaced one of the current hosts.

I totally agree with this. If you could morph Goff and Tannehill's talents you'd have the best fucking producer/third wheel ever.

Kid, I had a conversation with the Ex Gf about something similar...she wanted to know why a certain singer wasn't popular because she could "sing" better than say a Beyonce or a Rihanna....and I had to break it down to her that it's like a basketball player who can "shoot" really good, but isn't a superstar. The singer may be able to sing her head off, but doesn't have the personality or ability or mental makeup of the others which makes a difference.....

I wish I could take the "talents" of a few of my exes and make the best woman ever.
