Post subject:  Mully's interview style

Mulligan, literally taking a minute and a half to ask the first question of his guest Phil Kadner today. This is AFTER the 30-second intro and 'how are ya?' question.

Quote:
well you know, again, you know that it's, um, a very interesting case, if you want to call it that. Alan Kustok, um, accused of the murder of his wife Jeannie, and of course we probably wouldn't know a lot about this if it were it not for the sports connection, that being that Zak Kustok, was again a former Northwestern quarterback, and a guy -did he not start at Notre Dame and transfer, I believe?- and Sarah Kustok, his sister, played basketball at DePaul, and became an employee at Chicago, excuse me, Comcast Sports Net, and was a very popular figure there, she's now moved to the YES Network in New York, and this is a salacious type of murder story here....and we'll get to your interview with Zak because that was really something special, but: Sarah, was the subject of a conversation between her father and a woman he met online, and...ya know, I guess what I'm asking is: would this story be as big of a story...is the sports-angle here, is the careers of the children, somehow making, driving this story into more of a sensational story than it would be?


(I stopped with the 'ums' after a while)

Agree, he was more than lost in his own thought. Not a great showing

That's great that you transcribed the question. We should make it a series of Mully transcripts.

The fact he had this guy on answers his own question.

If we got a bunch of em together it would be even funnier. And Mully or someone from that show reads here too so it might improve him.

Definitely not unappreciated. You deserve hazard pay for that!

I'll say the same thing about Mully that I said about Robin Baumgarten. How can you be a professional broadcaster and not care that you sound like that?

If he asked "How are ya?", then that was the first question.

I can't disagree with most of the stuff posted above.

However, IMO, Mully got some good NFL thoughts out of Marcus Allen while in studio this morning.

Allen is town to speak at a charity thing today.

Right but what would you say, and I know The SCORE doesnt have much in the way of football, and the mully and hanley show gets ripped here, but is it possible that, Well of course it's possible, but is it likely, and again, were not looking for Johnny Carson here, is it possible Mulligan, or Mully as some call him around here HAHAH, is it possible that Mulligan could maybe get more questions in, Not 20 questions, but I mean of course, maybe that he came from the newspaper beat and talked to athletes made him like this, but is it possible he could ask more questions if he tightened them up?

Matty can put together a feature reel on B&B -- although I sort of feel they wouldn't cross Mully that way for whatever reason.

And lol at notbob. :-D

Oh boy, Mully & Hanley just now was classic with Bruce Levine.

Mully rambled about Konerko & Dunn having a ton of home runs and never actually asked a question. So there was an akward 5 seconds of silence as they were waiting for Bruce to answer a question asked. :lol: :lol: :lol:

7/30, opening 'question' to Biggs.

Its fucking brutal. I have no clue how he stays on the air talking like this. How does Mitch allow this to continue?

I hate when they have Biggs on. Between Mully's incoherent nonsense questions, Hanley's "jokes", and Biggs' breathing it might as well be Chinese water torture.

I texted in once to say his interviewing style is awful. He responded by saying to get off his ass, that he hadn't slept much last night and will do better next week.

apparently people like it... the ratings speak to that. It's also apparent based on past situations that if anyone challenges or makes fun of mulligan from the station he is a little bitch about it

:lol: I suppose my sig is outdated. But I do think that Mulligan is genuinely entertaining, he just can't drive a show as he gets lost in his own Mully-ness. And with the theory that Bernstein needs a partner who doesn't just nod along I think Mulligan would stand up to him on things.

But this is mostly based off of fill-in stints Mully used to do middays on B&B circa 2003. That was a different Bernstein.

This thread is great - and that last part, about him being a little bitch, made me LOL as I just listened to the show (yesterday, maybe Thursday) and they took a call from some guy who got upset with the show's content. They eventually hang up on him (it's apparent he's a regular caller) and Mully goes on to get all butt-hurt about "you call up and yell at us, geeesh!"

Almost any other show would make lemonade out of that call - Mulligan went on to complain about the guy calling, and how that's not fair.
