I think that was staged. Cross and Wyatt "get into it" over Wyatt playing "crickets" regarding discussing the MacGregor-Mayweather figh,t and then they start discussing an analogy of MLB-Cricket to MacGregor-Mayweather; then they move to talking about North Carolina and the NCAA. I listened to the break and didn't hear any other argument.

Im sure it was cumulative, but that doesnt belong on the radio. Obviously you wait until after the show. Not sure why he did that.

Wyatt got pissed when Cross told him to 'Stop it' when Wyatt started playing the crickets sound. He basically felt like Cross was talking down to him like he was a child.

Like my 86 year old grandfather says, "Right is right and wrong is wrong." Richard came off as the professional in that exchange, Matt came off as an overly emotional 15 year old girl. Geez, it wasn't even a big deal. Cross asked him to stop doing that annoying sound effect. Wyatt should've just laughed it off.

I remember a few years ago they came back from a break and Dick said " I'm Richard Cross and he's Matt Wyatt and he drinks the kool aid" or something along those lines. Wyatt got madder than hell and went off on Cross that day.

He sounded like a dude tired of inadvertently being spoken down to. Dick, I know you are reading this, as is Matt. Dick, quit being one, Matt, quit being a *****. Ok, now I'm done.

I'm sure they won't lose any sleep over my comment, but I stopped listening to their show quite a while ago.

Cross can be a real dick sometimes. You can take the boy out of Ole Miss, but you'll never take the Ole Miss out of the boy.

That show format has so much potential, but Matt is incapable of doing his part. He doesn't come off as quick/smart enough to match Richard in a debate, and generally gets plowed under when they try to go "head-to-head". Perhaps this all staged by the powers that be to play into the stereotypes surrounding the schools, but I don't think so. Given yesterday's exchange, he's apparently childish as well.

I know some folks will never give Richard credit due to his allegiances, but he's pretty good at his job(s). Matt, on the other hand, plays crickets when he isn't interested in the conversation? I wasn't aware that he was the target audience.

the format used to be "head to head" and had callers interested in calling in. Now it's a all sports type of talk the time with very few calls or head to head match ups....and they both talk over one another, but I kind of got to where I all about them instead of us, the audience Also when Matt started calling Richard, Rich, I knew then that the show had lost it's luster to me. Hopefully with high school football starting up that the talk with get back to head to head stuff and not a commentary sports show....

Have not listened to show since Matt sold out and they moved it to SuperTalk to "control the narrative". Sounds like I haven't missed much.

Completely agree.

I think it's their speaking style and communication method. Cross has a 'harsher' voice and Matt is soft-spoken. Cross has a Fox News Radio voice and Wyatt's voice is more NPR.
I think that tends to work in Cross's favor when there's some sort of 'debate'.

Matt is definitely more suited to long form interviews and 'thought' pieces. Bully Pulpit is actually very good and fits him perfectly.
