Awesome show thus far. Goff has to realize Cubs spring training tickets aren't cheap anymore. $50 for lawn seats on StubHub.

Given how lively this thread is, I take it no one is listening. How are those books Mitch? Your station collapsing on itself whenever the Cubs aren't playing?

It's a fun show. Bernstein's doing play-by-play on occasion and they're really not talking sports.

thats nothing new

Yeah it's been a good show. The pbp stuff was decent.

I like Goff more than most here, but his Mulligan esque interviewing style is annoying as hell. Just spit the fucking question out already.

Yeah. Long and rambling. Plus Goff always feels the need to answer his own question before he lets the guest speak. He wants to show the guest that he's smart.

Goff does not bother me at all except in interviews. I scream at the radio to spit it out junior.

Bernstein is a very good interviewer on the other hand. Best of any sports talker that I've ever heard.

See, I can give compliments.

Not listening ... Agree on Bernstein being a pretty good interview, Howard is the goat but take a guy like Silvy, who many here think is great, he is awful, he scares the interviewee off by his bombastic reactions, if I was getting interviewed by Stern, and I said I had two dead whores in my trunk, he'd calmly ask .so, where did ya meet these whores? ...Silvy would explode with a . wait, wait, wait. What??? You are telling me right now, that you have two deceased prostitutes in the trunk of your automobile..

Bernstein made sure to use as many big words as possible while interviewing his idol Theo.. even more than usual

Theo eh, I've heard him interviewed 3-4 times on ESPN 1000 the last 2-3 months, guess being the " flagship" has no perks, Epstein clearly hates Dab,Goff, Mitch and the rest of the turds over @ 670.

Goff actually took some shots at North today. North did play-by-play during an NCAA game, which was bad. And he played Elvis when the phones went down, "because he did not want to do a segment."

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Bernstein is a terrible interviewer. On many occasions the guest has sounded flummoxed/bemused/irritated after a minute-long Bernstein preamble in which he's acting like a lawyer trying to lead the witness.

He does do this a lot. It is always entertaining to me when a guest (especially someone he likes) disagrees after that. No follow up Danny?

it also can be used as a way to garner a fresh answer by eliminating the ones you hear over and over again. but, again, how about asking a fresh question instead.
