Mike and the Mad Dog show (Not Done!) (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

I put this in the Howard Stern show thread, but for those who missed it, the great Sour Shoes was in the Mad Dog sound-alike contest last month, and he killed. He sounded more like Dog than any of the other contestants, but he got penalized for mixing in too many other impressions.

You also get a little bit of Francesa ("What's his AWNN BASE PERCENTAGE!!!") at the 4:02 mark, as well as John Minko, Baba Booey and a perfect Ferrall.

LOL @ Doris calling from heaven. The long-time WFAN listeners will get that.

 

[McGarnicle]

Is there any audio of Benigno as a caller, prior to being hired by the station?

That is a Craig Carton impression of Russo. The tremendous "true story?" exchange between Russo and Francesa can be heard too.

 

[shadyridr]

Daredevil is a movie about a blind guy who fights crime.

True story?

Not terrible, but there's nowhere to go but down after hearing Sour Shoes do it.

A classic

 

[Raider Nation]

Fatso today declared that he would be SHOCKED if the Knicks lost tonight, and said he'd be surprised if they didn't put the Celtics away early. 9:04 left in the 4th Q.... Boston 75, NY 60

I neva said dat!

He said if the Celtics win, he'll come on the air tomorrow and admit he was wrong. Make sure you record that for posterity.

lol he didnt even wanna discuss the possibility of a game 7

shady, do you recall the rest of his quote?

"I would be SHOCKED if the Knicks lost tonight...

and the Thunder. I'd be shocked if EITHER of them lost."

Celtics led pretty much the entire game, and OKC is getting killed. The guy is a marvel.

 

[William Munny]

Getting back to what I wrote yesterday for a moment...

To one caller, and I quote: "I didn't do it [the interview] so that you'd like it. My goalwasn't to make you like the interview. My goal was to do the interview I want to do.Whether you like it or not [doesn't matter]."==============================That quote sums up his entire career. I mean, why on earth would a radio host carewhat his LISTENERS think??? At the end of the same phone call, he reaffirmed hissuperiority, telling the caller that he's been doing this for 25 years and "nobody isclose in ANYTHING that you can judge me on" and "I must be doing something right."

It's hilarious that he thinks he gets ratings because he's great. Mushnick, as usual, nailed it.

Francesa, still the top sports radio listen here — aided in large part by a lack of competition — has sustained and confused his popularity, unaware that car wrecks draw crowds.

'zactly!

You keep posting this loser Mushnick, and he comes off as a bitter, jealous, nobody more and more every time.

Must read for who? I've lived in NY/NJ my whole life and the guy doesn't register with me or anyone I know. Now Francesa on the other hand...everybody listens to Mike. Whether you love him or hate him, and I know plenty on both sides, you still acknowledge he's the king and nobody is close.

I already admitted that he wins either way. I happen to enjoy listening to moronic radio, and he is the King of that without question.

NFL now on Sun morning during the season....you know you love it.

Oh, no doubt. He's not COMPLETELY worthless. Few people are. I love that Firday NFL segment, and he even knows an adequate amount of baseball, especially the two NY teams. It's when he starts talking authoritatively about other sports where hilarity ensues. And he is just so GD smug! Can't stand that. If I heard that he got hit by a bus, I believe my first reaction would be to smile.

Ooof....because he's smug talking about sports on the radio? C'mon, you don't mean that. He's got 2 (or 3?) little kids.

I think his kids would be better off in the long run being raised by their mother alone, rather than by her and one of the worst human beings on the planet. I hope he doesn't suffer too long. Deal?

We gotta keep tabs of Big Mike's NFL and College Football picks this year

Now that he doesn't compete against Dog, he stops reporting his (terrible) record by week 5

What is your opinion on Raissman?

 

[Please See Mine]

Dog is terrible solo. He's your man if you need the latest information on the San Francisco Giants or Men's tennis. He's clueless about everything else. He doesn't even watch big events anymore. And God forbid any of them occur on the same night that his kid has a ball game.

I've never actually heard him on the Mad Dog channel, it's always other guys. Familar with any of those? Costa, Schein, Fonzarelli?

I go there for all my updates on the 3rd round of the French Open.

I'm up bright and early to get a front row seat for this one. My guess is that even *IF* he admits he's wrong (I'm skeptical), it will most certainly come with some excuses attached to it.

As an aside, I know it must sound like I hate everyone who has a sports talk show. Not true.

Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan on "Moving the Chains" are beyond excellent.

Scott Van Pelt is knowledgeable, humorous, likable and has zero ego.

Ben Maller, who works overnight weekends on FOX Sports Radio fits the same description as SVP. Love falling asleep to his show.

I can even tolerate Doug Gottlieb in small doses, when he's not off on one of his sanctimonious rants about this or that.

I like Ben Maller to. Had a huge radio voice crush on Miranda. Over the past year he has filled in slots when guys take time off on The Fan here in Denver

Such a nice lady though [coughcough]. She always used to call Steve Somers overnight, and I remember one time he asked her "So Doris, how many packs of cigarettes do you smoke every day?" I was all... .

She told him that she had a disease and that she never smoked. He felt terrible.

===================

Listeners of the late-night sports talk show on WFAN-AM (660) knew something was wrong last week when Short Al from Brooklyn called in and did not talk baseball. Instead, he called to say that Doris from Rego Park was in the hospital.

Doris from Rego Park, distinguished by a chronic cough and a fierce loyalty to the New York Mets, was perhaps the best-known caller to the overnight program on WFAN, which attracts insomniacs, graveyard shifters, taxi drivers and second-guessing sports fans whose phone calls make up a constant drone of New York sports chatter.

But last week, a voice in that chorus went silent, and longtime listeners learned that, in addition to an encyclopedic baseball memory and a healthy New York attitude, Doris from Rego Park had a last name (Bauer) and a lifelong disease (neurofibromatosis) that disfigured her.

And..... the bolded is your winner! So predictable.

Also (are you sitting down?), the words "I WAS WRONG" failed to escape his lips.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

This thread makes me feel old. I used to listen to 660WFAN every day. Imus in the morning and Mike and Doggy in the afternoon. For years. Never listened to any other radio. Now, the only radio I listen to is Mike and Mike for a few minutes in the morning and then SVP in the office, and the rest of the time I have XM on music. Stopped listening to Mike a long time ago. Everything said here is absolutely true, but still, it was a great time listening. Oh well.

Being non-bombastic is as close to "I WAS WRONG" as he gets.

None of the other contestants were in the same league as Sour with the Dog impression, but Sour absolutely CAN NOT rein himself in. He just can't do it, the guy is troubled. He can't do one impression and stay with it, his mind is just all over the place and he has to follow. He's a true idiot savant.

my problem with the old-timers is that they very often don't actually talk about anything.. they just rehash what happened the night before.. they don't bring anything to the table.

He went as far as to dismiss a caller who asked what he thinks would happen in the series if the Knicks lost Game 5. He said he can't even comment because it won't happen.

Here's the rub, that you'll love. he said that if it does happen he'll come on tomorrow (today) and admit he was wrong. Imagine that.

Wonder what his excuse will be to not admit he was wrong.
