are all of these callers legitimate or are some of them an act? Yesterday I heard Darryl from Columbus GA and some guy named Legend and both have the possibility of being institutionalized at any moment. I listened this week just due to the game and all but man there are some crazies that call in. I just got Sirius in my vehicle a few months back so I really didn't know anything about the show.

They all have the crazy. Darryl claims to be BFFs with Jarvis Jones though and I'm pretty sure Legend killed a guy.

ETA: Wait til you hear Tammy call in and talk about needing to get bent over

Listen for the entertainment value, and his regular guests. He actually has good guests on the show. He's actually a very good interviewer when he has legitimate guests on the show.

It's all a script. The radio station does not pay these people per se. They get other perks like football tickets and whatnot. I know that is the case for Tammy. She hasn't paid for an AU football ticket yet.

Your post about your brother-in-law was more interesting. Tell us more.

I listen to the roundtable during lunch then shut it off soon as Finebaum comes on.

Its just Jerry Springer on the radio. I don't see why trailer trash is so popular right now.

However, it's unfortunate that he's let the caller run the show in recent years


It's always been that way. 90% of his best interviews are in the offseason though. It seems that those interviews are more free and he doesn't normally hold to a certain time on them, if the interviewee has the time, and it's engaging.

I listen solely for the comedic value. Daryl from Columbus is the worst caller I can remember. He HAS to be a poster here, I'm just trying to figure out who.
