WFAN's Mike and the Mad Dog with an Angry Caller

[dstampede89]

Great job by you, Joe!!

[SybilianShade]

ok someone needs to make a remix techno song of this right the hell now.. it's going to be the next "..hide yer kids, hide yo wifes cause they rapin' everyon' out dar" song

[mrceebees14]

Mike and Chris should have let the guy have his say, instead of trying to shut him up by interrupting him.

This is just a battle of huge egos and nothing came of it except wasted air time.

[brainsareus]

these assholes don't let you talk. thank god, the spastic monkey puppy dog is gone............but mike is no treat,though, he looks like he has had too many treats..

[thejohn95]

Lol I listen to Dupp bc I hate him :ontome:

[rutoto]

Benigno doesn't say anything substantive all day long. The discussion is limited to "bests of all time" and "all the love, bro". Brutal.

[zazfilm]

CAPEEESH!?

[lkgf09]

wait a second wait a second wait a second

[za1pp]

Mad dog is the best

[brookside1]

was it dress down day? And what does dog mean by "Doesn't RING MY FANCY"?....I am seriously asking. I have never heard that saying. I have heard two different sayings that he may have compounded....but lemme know....BOZO.

[Juliusblue]

Benigno!!!

[southplnk]

john minko is cool

[yankeefan42]

francesa looks like the bull dyke gym teacher from that movie High School High

[TrueLoveNeverDies82]

@yankeefan42 - LOL!

[BigAng84]

2 people don't like ford

[lkgf09]

wait a second wait a second wait a second

[BigDipper093]

Mike is absolutely right when he says that a good talk show host has opinions and criticizes teams and players. That caller is aa downright idiot an I dont know why he even called

[CtrlRm]

This guy needs to lay off the speed. 

[DullTorpor]

The caller is an idiot.

[gary031183]

Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe

[RadioGuy211]

"Sports are supposed to be fun, why are you getting so mad"? Mike should take that advice.

[randog69]

joe can blow- these guys are too cool !

[STU676]

francessa sucks ass....always has

[brooklynknight86]

as minko waits to do the update

[Ltron9]

you mean the other way around...

[CheapJabroni]

Does Chris say "I dont care about any of that shit" at 2:36? Sure sounds like it.

[btbamdep]

he held himself back...he was about to tho, lol. he's still annoyed by the caller. i know i would be by a douchebag like that calling up my show...

[BIGGPHILL]

Geez Mike... give Dog a chance to speak his mind. No wonder he left

[amarch8]

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe,Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe...I hate Francesa so very much.

[BleedBlue1994]

why are you listening?

i listen bc i hate you guys!

joe is a retard lol

[OCPARKWAY]

Im not a Huge Fan of Mad Dog or Mike but Joe sounded like he was a Very Bitter Man who needs to relax.. I WANT TO SCHOOL YOU LOL

[iamian4life]

I like Mike F. a lot, I feel he is fair and knows how his trade really well. But I do hate the way he just says the caller's name over and over again until they stop talking.

[pooponjcena]

yeah he very much likes to hear himself talk (mike). it seems so bitter of him when he interrupts and especially when he gives the "cut the caller" hand signal. now i understand that you have to cut callers, and do a lot of what he does..however his manerisms and just the way he executes things rub me the wrong way.

[mywaydimag]

Russo uses the phrase "ring my fancy" here.

[brookside1]

yeah-- I really like that saying...LMAO-- "Ring my fancy".-----Douche.

[dtcyanks]

Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe

[Jpjetsfan]

@dtcyanks I was going to type the same thing,but you beat me to the punch.lol

[infinitewizdumb]

Francessa is a Pompass ASS!!! Joe was right on!!! lol

[Ltron9]

Mike is a little arrogant. MD was crazy but fair to callers. Joe Benigno is the Best, cause he's a fan of his teams in the same way average guys do..

[xxjrwriterxx87]

i wanna schooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooool you

[frankiebagodonuts]

could mike say the name joe any more times then that? joe..joe...joe...joe...joe

[yearofox]

idear

[iamzeroedin]

Joe and Evan are the best.

[Ltron9]

Joe is the Best. Evan SUCKS (whinny little brat) Sid was wayyy better. Joe B rules!

[avataz]

Evan is a piece of crap

[Ltron9]

Yes he is, And how did he get to the morning slot, without paying his dues in the overnight slot like Joe did for years??????!!!!!

[NYYBaseball88]

hell yeah Joe B. 100% is the best host on that station...speaks to the true fan no matter what team they're a fan of

[theraineman21]

this guy obviously is not a avid listener if he says they are only popular cuz they kill new york teams...mike is a yankee fan! get a fucking clue!...i miss and always miss the two of them but they are doin theyre own thing and doin well...reunion one day hopefully??

[devils950003]

Not only is the caller arrogant but he's also very stupid. I'm sure Mike and Chris are just heartbroken that this guy doesn't like them. They make millions; they couldn't care less.  Why is he listening to two people that he admittedly hates? Why use negative energy on something you can't stand?

[KeepItRealPlease]

Take a cyber valium.

[mikedanielsuk]

Richard Nere is at least Smart and prepares for his show, as does Steve Sommers. I don't think that can be said for everyone at the station.

[deputy0]

No offense, but are you kidding me?!

RICHARD NEER is liked?! lol

[dmp78]

i love how dog dresses up for work

[gmenftw]

Sportscope your picture of francesa with a lightsaber is hilarious.

[bkzboyy]

lmfao

[avataz]

I LOVE MIKE AND THE MAD DOG! Listen, I'm a Yankee fan and I know that they bash the Yankees, but so what? It's f.ucking baseball, jeez. GEt a sense of humor

[metsfreak4life]

its unfortunate that Russo left the show. I miss the show like many other people.

[metjet4]

Yeah Mike's too boring by himself.

[yankeefan42]

what a loser, i dont like this show either, but the caller is a major asshole. Why would you take time out of your day to call a talk show and blast the filthy rich hosts who could care less what you say? This guy is all worked up meanwhile mike and dog are sitting there making 2.5 million a year.

[AdognamedOp]

I love how they constantly interrupt the guy while he's on then cut him off and go on like they're still having a conversation with him.

Francesa's a pompous asshole who's gonna slip into obscurity now that Russo's gone.

Russo, at least, was humble enough to admit when he was wrong and give the caller their due on more than one occasion.

Long time listener...and yes, hater.

[Ltron9]

You gotta love Chris' dirty yellowed undershirt!!!!

[atsuroc]

The caller had it right - Fuck these pompous egomaniacs. FAT-cessa's ego is as big as his waistline. Good riddance. I wish they would fire FAT-cessa that condescending loser. HE'S SO SMART YET HE HAS NEVER HAD A WINNING SEASON PICKING FOOTBALL. Good Riddance! Cory Lidle R.I.P.

[shelovesbaseball02]

Fuck. you.

[giantsfan729]

i agree that they both handled this situation very well, but as a whole, i agree with the caller. they are assholes to 90% of the people who call in, and both very bias in my opinion.

[shelovesbaseball02]

How are they assholes to 90% of the callers? and how are they biased?

[giantsfan729]

if you listened to them with any regularity, u would know what im talking about. u might ask why i listen to them if i dont like them. its because where i live no other sports talk shows come in well on the radio, like ESPN radio. the show might be better now though that francesa is solo.

[shelovesbaseball02]

I watch them regularly. If you mean that they cut off the callers before they finish sometimes, Mike explained taht during teh show yesterday. Mike critises the Yankees as much as he praises them. Like the Joba move for example. I disagree. There is no show like Mike and Chirs. They had such chemistry.

[arnyjk]

I have to agree with giantsfan to some degree. I think Dog's not that bad, but Francesa comes across as arrogant and condescending, too often poo-pooing caller's suggestions when they do in fact bring up a valid point. At least Dog seems more likely to say, "yeah, that's a good point, I didn't think of that".

[Ltron9]

Dog was ok to the fans but Mike is a bit arrogant...

[atwater8991]

Memo to Chris Russo: please upgrade the wardrobe. You are on a national stage now; you look like a guy that is cleaning his garage on a Sunday afternoon. A $3 Hanes T-shirt doesn't help your show's image. And with those arms, you need to hit the gym a little more.

[Joe41184]

lol...good shit

[drumdoc1]

haha real funny when Mike just bought a s550 ($110,000) 2 months ago...what are you driving again?

[Joe41184]

um..nothing really...i got a metrocard with 5.50 on it, do you have 50 cents i could borrow?

By the way, YOU FAIRY!, what does this got to do with anything

The fact is Mike is a conceited bastard who never let the callers finish their thoughts and Chris is a bias sob blinded by his hatred for the Yankees that he can't think clearly. Give these guys credit for creating the sports radio genre and angering callers on a daily basis so they have to tune in. But other than that they are pricks.

[Joe41184]

In terms of sports knowledge these guys are completely bias and represent the 'old guard' whenever tries to talk OBP, SLUGGING, OPS, etc. he gets ridiculed for being so reliant on numbers. The funny thing is these guys use numbers on their show (BA, RBIs, HRs) but these are the wrong fucking numbers goddammit. RBIs are a team stat really and more a reflection of lineup strength, luck, and position within a lineup. BA misses one thing...did the guy make an out? And that should fucking count!

[drumdoc1]

lol...fairy...very good....the point is they are getting PAID for talking what YOU think is wrong, and your broke butt is bitter...that MY point.

[Joe41184]

they get paid for talking b/c they generate ratings not because they are knowledgeable...everyone knows Russo basis his shit off bullshit

[ColdDish1]

How do you know he BOUGHT it ?

Were u with him when he signed the papers and was handed the keys ? LOL

[ColdHardNews]

ROFL HE THOUGHT HE SAID SCREW! they are the most brilliant minds in baseball radio. mike is the brains and chris is the personality

[holybulz27]

What a MORON!!!!! "Why are you listening to us?" "because I hate you" HAHAHAAHAHA

[petershala]

why you listening?? cause i hate you....lmfao

[northportman]

mike is more pompous by far

[Elking55]

there done after the summer

[jefit]

Pompous & Arrogant talking an angry caller off the proverbial ledge by telling him it's "only sports." That's as rich as it gets.

[mikeys12]

nice t shirt Mad dog hahahaha

[hovi81]

he wants to screw you Francesca ha ha ha ha

[qcboy62]

Mike & the Mad Dog are the cure for insomnia !

[Gehrig004]

Guys, they are just as good of talk show hosts as anyone, anyone that talks about New York sports will be hated by thousands, they aren't bad talk show hosts at all, their job isn't to critisize New York sports, it is to analyze them, and that is what they do for a living.

[rsx767676]

Mike and the Mad Dog suck

[Mrveendam]

Is jerry Lewis the Mad dog's reel father ?

[slapshot68]

like they're gonna care bout critcism on the show. ur gonna get critcism no matter wat. that's life. nobody's perfect

[brookside1]

Chris Russo is angry and ignorant.-- He has the nerve to comment on college football and the players in the draft-- BUT THE MILLIONAIRE DOES NOT HAVE THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PACKAGE FOR TV!. ---

[JCYanksDevs24]

Ha! You think he's a millionaire? Far from it. He's a radio host. He makes decent money at this stage of his career, after being on this top-rated shower for over 20 years, but he's FAR from a millionaire.

[GForceRush]

Wrong. They both make roughly $1.5 million.

[JCYanksDevs24]

I just looked it up - you are right. Mike makes 1.4 and Chris makes 1.3. However, that only started with their latest contract, which included payment from the YES Network. Before they were on YES and were only on the radio, they weren't making that much. In general, radio hosts don't make anything special. They only make great money now because they are now on TV, too.

[fenway5150]

"That's just the way life is".....God has spoken.

[settyman]

i like them

[iyeqwrtu]

mike, thanks for being the wfan yankee representative

[foleynj86]

I am kind of surprised Fatcessa is not going off on this guy he is actually calm. I think they are both idiots and disagree with almost everything they say but nonetheless they are entertaining.

[magicman29]

Relax white boy... just because your mom didn't get you a cheeseburger at McDonald's you don't have to flip on the phone lol

[RockMSockM7]

That's funny?

[blakeball]

Benigno sets the male species back a thousand years.I'm sure he's a great guy but his radio persona is that of a moron.With fans like him his teams should play all road games.

[bat0017]

Benigno is hysterical

[Ltron9]

Benigno and Steve Sommers are reason why I started listening to WFAN 12 years ago! I Love Joe B but his partner Evan Roberts is an annoying, little, whinny brat who needs his ass whipped. Joe B should be a solo act or at least have someone own his age co-host with him.

[superspammer69]

mike is pregnant

[TomFromJersey]

"I listen because I hate you guys!!"

[theraineman21]

i love mike and the dog..idkk wat this guys talking about

[Pitino4Pres]

Mike isn't that smart.

[SPQR100]

joe rules !!!

[binderbot]

i love mike and the dog

[JimmysNordon]

Mike thinks everyone elses opinion stinks and his is the best. He is a pompous ass.

Russo rules.

[nykspree08]

hes still a great analsyst

[JimmysNordon]

he is as good as your spelling.

[mattodcia]

wa2k99

great point and great point

[joport55]

they should get a real job

[devinjerrell]

This is funny!!!!

[wa2k99]

Why do smart people have to be considered arrogant. My problem with Mike is he ignores hockey.

[Ltron9]

Mike is arrogant to certain callers like males who propose trades, etc. but he's nice to female callers. He's good at what he does but does has his moments where he thinks he know it all...

[Elking55]

there all right

[slapshot68]

dont he kno that millions of people will hear everything he says? lol why not change the channel if u dont like them.

[bluenote335]

Ha! Was the guy even on the line for the last 2 mins of the call?

[SUPERAPE22]

these guys fuckin blow, biggest haters ever.

[khpn]

mike being his usual pompous self.

[Ranatoro]

why does it cut off? i want to see the rest

[Ranatoro]

nm it was my fault

[slapshot68]

that is the full conversation, chris cut him off

[WhiteJewDevil]

what makes him a mad dog? and who in the fuck wants his autograph?

they look more like a couple fags who would rather watch and talk about guys

sports have always sucked

[brianbuck13]

i agree with this caller. i listen to the show all the time, but theses guys sucks. mike is a fat pompous blowhard and dog is a retard.

[Ltron9]

mike IS a fat pompous blowhard and dog IS a retard BUT it made GREAT radio!!!!

[pgomer]

caller is an idiot these guys are great

[WFaN4600]

these 2 are the best, this guy was a retard

[drycell183]

so Chris your signing autographs for 45 minutes or 6 hours? Thats a BIG difference.

[brianbuck13]

i have to agree with everything this caller said. Mike and Mad Dog suck!

[ChrisV82]

They will go to their graves thinking that wins & losses are the best way to evaluate a pitcher. Idiots.

[Taintgun]

Ring my fancy?
