One of the things I like about Jim Traber is how even-tempered he is. Whenever I try and describe him to someone, I inevitably just show them the famous video of him chasing the Japanese pitcher into the outfield.
It’s that kind of thoughtfulness and reasonable decision-making that make him such a popular talk show host.
One of my favorite quirks about Traber’s show is this: Some moronic OU fan (there are a few of us) will call in and say something dumb, and Traber will lay into him. Fine. But then he oftentimes spends almost his entire show and then some of the “Total Dominance Hour” harping about the same dumb comment, constantly prefacing his statements by saying that he understands that it’s a “small minority” of fans who have whatever dumb opinion he’s talking about.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why someone spends so much of their time complaining about the opinions of someone who is admittedly in a “small minority.” For instance, I think it is crazy that there are people who are fans of Jim Traber’s show. Yes, I admit that people who like his show are in a very small minority, but those people are insane.
Now I, unlike Jim Traber would, will let it go.
Can anyone believe there are people who actually enjoy listening to Jim Traber’s radio show? That is just craziness. Look, I understand it’s a very small minority of people, but still. People who like his show are just ridiculous.
I love listening to Traber’s show, its great radio. Don’t care for the guy, but love his show.
Ahahahahaha, I’ve never seen that video before. It’s like that pitcher stole a cheeseburger from him or something. I love how little knowledge and insight he gives about baseball on his show despite, you know, playing it professionally for a short period of time.
I like it when Traber talks politics and backs up his assertions with nothing more than “that guy is sorry”.
I also like it when Traber butchers the pronunciation of the name of just about every player he mentions…and sometimes his co-workers like Brendan “Brandon” Manzer.
Also, why does every tubby professional (”professional” in Traber’s case) athlete from those days have that same hair cut?
the only reason i can think for actively listening to his show is for a drinking game. his show is perfect for that since he uses the same 20 words or phrases all of the time. “big league,” “tremendous,” “having said that,” etc.
i would think about listening to his program again some off day just to make such a game, but i would probably spend that day doing something that i enjoy instead.
Tony this site is hillarious. I’ll never get anything done.
Doug, you are “solid” “big fella.” You’re not “sorry” or a “yardbird” “daggone” it. “I’m just telling you.” “That’s all I’m saying” “but anyway” that’s “good stuff.”"Gentlemen”
as a “matter of fact” everyone here
is “big league.” “Having said that” I am so drunk.
are you “tremendously” drunk? or did you just take some “truth serum?”
today i was listening to his show for the first time in about 4 months and he kept saying “pronunciate” instead of pronounce. i swear that he said it 10 times and you could hear mark want to correct him in the back ground, but he didn’t. it was fantastic.
“Let’s put it this way”-those drinks “abused” me.
Yes, I heard “pronunciate” too.
