  • I used to listen to The John and Jeff show
    in our local talk radio station, primarily because of their third shift
    friendly time slot, as well as the political topics they had last
    year.  But for a couple of months now, I've stopped listening to
    them. The main reason I stopped listening to that show is because I'm
    now able to listen to the Kevin & Bean show at night, thanks to the wma downloads of the show. The other reason would be because; to put it simply, John and Jeff are a bunch of jerks.

    They have this know it all attitude, and they are really really
    stubborn about saying that they are always right. They really are full
    of themselves and act like they have the answer to everything. All
    under the guise that they are just giving us their "totally brutally honest
    opinions." Well, when their opinions gets challenged by a caller, they
    adamantly defend their point of view, even when the caller has some really valid points. But John and Jeff
    would not have any of that.  If they are losing their argument,
    their next strategy is to try and do a profile on who the caller is, as
    if to validate that the person doesn't know what they are talking
    about.

    Recently, I happen to leave the radio on The John and Jeff show as
    background noise while I was working on something. Sure enough, they
    were have a discussion with a caller that disagrees with their
    opinion.  I listened to the caller's opinions, and I'll honestly
    have to side with him over John and Jeff.  So they go ahead and do a
    profile of the guy, and to my amusement, they got it all wrong! 
    The guy was nothing like they thought he was.  So what do they do
    next? They call the guy a liar and tell him that he isn't telling them
    the truth about himself.  At that point, I just had to shake my
    head at the fact these guys have a radio show.

    In the past, I myself have been known to be just as stubborn about my opinions on
    things. But I'd like to think that I was never that bad, to the point
    of insulting the other person.  John and Jeff, you should be
    ashamed of yourselves.
