Gugny Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I was a late "Mike and Mike," bloomer. Didn't start listening until a few years ago, when I started having a significant morning commute for work. I liked "Mike and Mike," quite a bit. I've always liked Golic, but it took me a bit to develop a taste for Greenberg. But, eventually, I ended up liking him a lot, as well. Fast forward to today and the current "Golic and Wingo" show. I've always liked Trey Wingo. Always thought he was funny and well-spoken. I am having a difficult time enjoying this show even half as much as "Mike and Mike," and it's solely because of the difference between Greenberg and Wingo. Wingo puts me to sleep. I think he tries to be funny far too often and it falls flat more than half of the time. Serious downgrade. It's kind of like Kramer on Seinfeld. On Seinfeld, the appearances he made were gold. On his own ... it's just too much and gets old. That's how I see Wingo. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Stopped listening a couple weeks ago. Too many forced yucks, turrible interviews (Greenie was a good interviewer), crappy theme music. Plus I cannot see hear Wingo without wanting to punch him in the face. I’ll add that Dari Noka (sorry about butchering his name) would have been a much better choice.

Royale with Cheese Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Man I haven't been following this at all. I mostly listen to WGR in the mornings because I like Howard and Jeremy. Then I'll got to Dan Patrick until noon. Where did Greenberg go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 TBH. I mostly only listen to them when there is football talk because I’m not into the other sports. Meh is what I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterbluesky Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Too much NFL and NBA for me.I listened twice and they seem to have very little interest in MLB.Maybe they should have Chris Russo chime in everyday for a segment..I mean,opening day is just a few weeks away.

RaoulDuke79 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I must have liked Greenie more than I thought. I don't really listen since he left. Golic Jr. isnt good on the radio imo. He seems like a nice guy, but i just dont enjoy listening to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Golic Jr. The one I really like, who I think has great chemistry with Golic (Sr.), is Adnan Virk. He is WAY better than Wingo and would have been a great permanent replacement, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It ain’t what it used to be, but I still find it to be the best option in that time slot. Am I missing something? I agree about all the forced yucks, and now that you say it, I think I do prefer it with Adnan. I tend to like Wingo, but it’s something about the chemistry.

I honestly don't like his voice for radio. I thought I was going to like it (the show) a lot more than I do, but I don't hate it. I can't put my finger on it. It's all very new, so perhaps they just need time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 If you want zero controversy about everything and really bad interviews, then this is the place to tune in. Wingo seems like the ultimate toe the line corporate shill. The show is like plain oatmeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It's watchable/ tolerable to listen to on the radio but I definitely think it's a couple steps backwards from the Mike and Mike show which is what I was expecting going into the change. I find myself not tuning into it as often as I did the Mike and Mike show but I still tune in somewhat frequently in the mornings. I don't think it's unbearable like some people make it out to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Records or podcasts 6-9, Dan Patrick and then Jim Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Neither show has ever really been any good. M&M got top notch guests and when they were on, they carried the show. It's typical schlock radio. They try to create controversy where pretty much nothing exists. If they aren't interviewing someone, it's a total waste of time. ESPN is terrible across every facet of content they provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
