John & John. Could afternoon radio get worse?
I agree about Martin. He's a goofball. Tries to sound cool talking hip, but he's really not worth listening to. I really like Jason, but I just can't...tried. Have to stream something else at that time.

Absolutely disagree. Roser is borderline awful. Everything he says a laugh follows even if there's nothing funny about it. Then there's the Next Story yelling crap. Roser is a poor poor poor man wannabe Chris Vernon that completely fails

I agree with this guy. They are funny.
Hasseltine is a great play by play guy, but his radio show is the pits.

RE: John & John. Could afternoon radio get worse?
There isn't a show on 92.9 that's interesting or entertaining enough to spark my interest. Smith & Martin couldn't hold Vernon's jock strap (no comparison) Neither has a voice for radio and each one is too damn biased and opinionated. Vernon's show was the best! If the idiots who make the decisions think Sleepy & Goofy's show is a replacement for Vernon, they are sadly mistaken. Memphis Sports radio is dead!

Let's face all of the local sports radio sucks now. The hosts all either stray off topic too much or are too busy stroking their massive egos.

Vernon was the best of the worst. But he had some good guests. They seem to run out of things to talk about. That's why they bring each other on as guests.

They sure do run out of discussion topics and bring each other on as guests. How annoying is that? Whoever is over programming needs a replacement?

Doubt that happens considering it's Gary's producer

That guy is Rainman's vet. This is what John does. He goes to a business for a transaction - in this case animal services. Runs up a large bill and its time to pay up. Then he turns on the Rainman charm - you have a great business, do you do any advertising? No? Well I have been a successful radio talk show host for over 20 years blah blah blah. He then "trades" the vet bill for advertising time.

RE: John & John. Could afternoon radio get worse?
I just heard the podcast because I wanted to hear what was said. John Martin didn't "blow me off". He jumped in my face outta no where and said something douchery because of my work uniform. I wanted to throw him through the wall but basically walked away. My partner and I dropped in to the Rec Room because it was a 92.9 event.

I haven't listened to 92.9 since it became a left wing political rant station. I listen to Sirius and haven't missed anything but Easterwood.

Haven't missed much, Easterwood hasn't been on. (Probably the most enjoyable part of that time slot) Strange but it seems like the best show on 92.9 now (besides Mike and Mike) is Caulkins. Jason and John need to figure out what their show is (Jason is pretty good, John is Parrish lite), Hasseltine isn't bad. Parrish can have decent segments but he just comes off kind of arrogant and condescending (not to mention the politics).

I agree you haven't missed much. No offense to eassterwood but he was offering nothing either. Same ol same ol. Mostly talking about women, drinking, and paying players. Nothing else to add. The product on the radio is hurting. Some of this is because Memphis basketball hasn't given them much to talk about

RE: John & John. Could afternoon radio get worse?
Hasseltine is the worse out of the bunch.... and i only listen to him call the grizz if it's my only option
he sounds like somebody is holding his nose when he talks....his voice should be no where near a microphone......Seems like a cool guy though
i like Jason and John way better than Vernon. Vernon doesn't seem to know when a joke has run it's course those songs were awful. I don't miss the Chris Vernon shhheeeroowww... ughhh..
GP's show is what is it's.... He's doing something right. The best parts are when calkins and Easterwood (come back please) are on.
and somebody tell him that "that's what she said" jokes were payed out 20 years ago
When he's doing his talking head thing, answering questions about NCAA baseball he's great.

Why so because I think my afternoon drive is pretty weak when it comes sports talk, I should line up my own show. ?
