Not really, but he is anti-education. Said he walked out of his first college class that attempted to make him work on his diction and pronunciation for media purposes. Seems like it was probably a bad decision. Maybe they would have told him not to eat while talking on the radio.

If what Goff said is true, he's one of those awkward people who can't just take advice with a grain of salt - that is, to take what you can from it and ignore anything you think is stupid. Instead, he has to be Mr. Martyr and walk out of the class to prove a point. Brilliant.

***Beardown hat back on***

He also probably just didn't like taking advice from whitey. Play on, playa'.

Tuned in shortly after 9:00 to hear Goff gigglespeak his way through a story about the WSCR production staff "destroying" Chet Coppock on Twitter because Chet was critical of someone named Vincent (?).

Not interested.

Trying to make Ellsworth Goff sound like cracker radio. Take away his street cred. WTF

_________________

I remember a couple of weeks ago, maybe around an interview with Vincent Goodwill (I do listen to Spiegel&Goff Bulls talk, especially when the team is awful), and Goff had some anecdote about how he used to try and be polished on the radio when he first came up, and somebody (maybe 'his girl'?) said that was a different guy and he needed to be himself. The moral of that story was that the advice paid off because he is nominally a sports radio host in the 3rd biggest market in the country. But...he kind of sucks at talking, so I don't think it was good advice to take at all.

Otherwise, he's be Lawrence Holmes.

_________________

Lawrence is good at talking, I agree.

His problem is that he has an annoying personality, too overeager (to please Bernstein) and humblebrag-y, and sometimes even outright brag-y which really doesn't fit.

Goff comes across as a big-timing peen. So they both kind of suck (again, 'guy radio' works only if the guy is likeable), but at least Lawrence literally sounds better.

Seriously. You take a radio class and they suggest you work on your speaking skills so he walks out. Nobody would believe it if it weren't true.

yeah, for someone whose radio pappy is Bernstein and loves to slam North, it's very much a North mindset.

First year med school students start on anatomy to help them in some of the most basic aspects of being a doctor. Imagine if your doctor walked out on the first day but was now discussing performing a procedure on you? "Naw playa, my skills are good enough"

Always loved Goff when he produced B&B , but more and more lately he just plays the "Playa/Street Brother" card. The act is wearing thin....just chill on the slang bro, gets tiresome after so long

I do not get the street brother thing anyway. I am guessing Jason from Evanston saw as much street tough action as Danny from Deerfield.

That's my issue. Not that a WSCR host can't play that role that but in Goff's case it seems inauthentic.

It's not February.

I honestly haven't listened to Snickers & Giggles in over 3 weeks.

Before that I hate listened from time to time and usually PTFB after about 2 hours tops.

I've noticed that I'm in a better mood and happier during the day after quitting S & G cold turkey.

Honest question - has anybody else experienced anything like this?

Doesn't that prove I'm telling the truth?

This sounds ridiculous and entirely plausible at the same time.

At the risk of stealing Beardown's bit, Goff really must be one sensitive motherfucker if he can't reckon with the mere existence of a speech course. Of all the things to have no business taking personally, the idea that one should polish one's elocution for a career in broadcasting is up there. What other kinds of introductory lessons are beneath him?

Yeah. Weird thing is, much like we never heard the constant laughing and pounding of the table when he was on B&B, we also never heard the "Playa/Street Brother" slang. Maybe he figured Bernstein wouldn't approve. That has to be it. Cuz this current Goff is nothing like the old "B&B Goff".
