Hawaii informed us in The New Dan Patrick Show: APB for Dan Bernstein:
The two guys are from KLAC. They are part of the loose Cannons show there. At the beginning their arguing sort of reminded me of KO and DP but then it got old. Keith and Dan did not argue every second of the Big Show.
Dan Bernstein will be here today and tomorrow too I believe, and then the fighting boys are back. It is a good time for a break from the show for Dan (and for me too) being in between football and Spring Training baseball and March Madness.
I enjoyed listening to Bernstein yesterday and Tuesday, but the Illegitimate Sons of Mike and the Mad Dog were back on today and all I could tolerate was 15 minutes. Holy smokes! I think I prefer Stephen A. Smith to the Loose Cannons.
Speaking of M&MD, I think I know why DP stated that “Johan Santana doesn’t want to play in the National League.” Mike and the Mad Dog (that would be Mike Francesa and Chris Russo for those of you who don’t listen to NYC sports talk radio; Russo has been on the DP Show a couple of times) have the afternoon show on WFAN. Mets fans complain constantly about how the two are anti-Mets and pro-Yankees; right before Santana signed with the Mets there was chatter on Mets fans’ blogs and message boards about M&MD saying that Santana doesn’t want to play for the Mets and that he doesn’t want to be in the NL. It’s OK with me if DP listens to M&MD, but he needs to do a little bit better research on news stories before reporting them on his show. Rule #1 should be “Do not use Mike and the Mad Dog as a primary source.” For any and all baseball news DP needs to check in with KO first. Even as a Yankee Apologist, KO is pretty darn fair and balanced when it comes to baseball.
I agree with Hawaii that this is a good time to take a break from the show. I am drowning in Spring Training news and election coverage. We’re also looking forward to March Madness, but don’t have a favorite team. Maybe we’ll cheer for Tennessee (because their coach painted himself orange to support the Lady Vols last season) or UCLA (because it would be cool for John Wooden’s school to win another one).
No one is as bad as Stephen A but those two LA guys come close. Their whole schtick is about yelling at each other. They have good topics to talk about but I can’t stand to listen to them. Makes you appreiciate DP that much more.

[...] Smith and Jim Rome - namely Dan doesn’t scream and argue his way through three hours. And we aren’t the only ones that felt that way this [...]

If Mike and MadDog mated—what an image, holy shit

Every Mets fan I know hates Mike and the dog but they still listen to the show! My feeling is JUST TURN OFF THE RADIO. If there is an interesting guest you can always listen to that one interview on their Web site. Otherwise why torture yourself with their constant babble?
