I think I heard they are using Calkins sidekick, Jeffrey Wright, as the interim. He's the other pro-Old Miss guy at the station - though not as bad as McCready. I have not caught the show this week.

Here's Jeffrey Wright during every Calkins show:

"Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Yeeeesss! Yeeeesss! Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. Yeeeees!"

I literally counted 7 "mmm hmms" in a two minute span once.

Listening to Calkins and I was reading your post I heard 3 mmm hmm's.

This is spot on, I'm glad to know someone else grows frustrated by hearing "MMMMHMMMM" right after every sentence spoke by Ge-off. It's unbearable.

It's nails-on-a-chalk-board irritating.

I don't understand why Calkins won't tell him to shut-up. He interrupts all the time and I tuned in to listen to Calkins, not that guy. His show will not work out, he just isn't a radio personality, but that hasn't stopped them before.

He comes across as desperate to be heard. I thought for sure after the first couple of weeks that Calkins or Brad would have talked to him off-air and given him some tips, but nope, he's still going strong.

Is he a station manager's kid or something? There's no way that doesn't annoy Geoff.

I wish Hasseltine all the best in the future. And, hope things at Grizzlies brings him more success.
