George & Matt have been great, especially their conversation yesterday with Adnan Virk. They can only get better as they probably avoid talking about their parents & family as they stick to topics relevant to the stations format.
The difference to me is that with Barn Burner, it’s just listening to buddies having a funny conversation for an hour, are they buddies? Who cares the listener believe they are. They have stories about their kids, travel, lives off the air. . Nothing forced, natural chemistry, funny. Pinder talking about his Monday night curling is entertaining, Matt Rose talking about playing slow pitch is just…talking. Taking calls with “line name suggestions”, “hot take for the year” and suggestions for good pizza is not good radio, listener polls are not good radio, it is hack radio. There was very little discussion about last nights game this morning. Yesterday Rusic explaining buying a toaster was a terrible listen. They are a morning talk show, not morning entertainment.
