Bob and Brian

I listen to Bob and Brian nearly every morning on the Internet. I think they have been on the radio since I was in grade school. They were on vacation this week so the station is playing their best of. They have a segment called "The One Question Line". If you are a normal listener I am sure you have heard of it, listeners can call in and ask the two show hosts any question, but just one. It is rare that I laugh out loud at something that I hear on the radio but this one got me.

A woman called in and asked: "How do I get my 3 year old to listen to me?"

To which Brian replied: "Talk louder."

The woman's reply in a louder voice: "HOW DO I GET MY 3 YEAR OLD TO LISTEN TO ME?"

Obviously the women thought Brian was asking her to speak up rather than him actually giving her advice. Her husband must be so proud.

While that part of the show can be boring at times, hoping to find nuggets like those keep your ears perked up through out that segment.

Love the B&B Show. Luckily we get it in Madison too. Do you notice how the guests struggle mightily when Eric fills during Bob and Brian vacations? Matt Kenseth couldn't wait to get off the phone yesterday.

Bob and Brian are something else. I have heard them interview people before and it is usually entertaining, then I have heard other shows interview the same people and it just isn't quite as good. For example, Drew Olson is great when interviewed on B&B, but is just OK on his own show. Some how B&B bring out the best in people when they intreview them. Weird.

I listen to the Bob and Brian show in the morning on the way to work for like only 15-20 mins, but I think its pretty good. I actually got through one time on the one question line. I might try again if I think of a good question, any suggestions. Overall, I think the one question line is very entertaining, although the "call it" line on wednesdays stinks.
