Formely Matt Carothers thread, but hijacked by Vic
He needs to be a solo host. I have tvg on in the background and I'm barely paying attention to it, yet still annoyed at how many times Matt steps on Eurton and vice versa. I finally changed the channel. He's not bad on television just not good when he has to work with someone else.

Whoever he works with he interrupts nearly every sentence. He steps on everyone ALL the time. It's incredibly annoying. Nobody can finish a sentence when he is on the air.
I have been using RTN and the NYRA app to stream on TV lately, and the silence in between races is very relaxing.

If the TVG host isn't named Nick Hines...then I reach for the mute button.

So much this. I bought a Roku prior to the Saratoga meet. Between the free NYRA Now app and buying a subscription to RTN playing from home has been much more enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone on the fence.

Is that the Sarge guy?
He's always going "He yaw"
I though he was throwing up.

Even if he isn't. I KNOW I'm not on mute. Thasky will be listening for me to say something stupid that he can bust my balls about.
Warning: I'm on next weekend the 28th, 29th & 30th. Combination of TVG & TVG2.

Next time I do a shift on TVG 2 if you'd like I'll have you on as a guest handicapper.
Spice up the silence.

No...I don't mute you out, VIc...and I particularly like when you go out on a limb once in a while. That's what I admire about The Sarge too. The other guys there are too "wishy-washy" for my taste.

Does this offer apply to me, as well? But...I'd like you to know that, with me as a guest handicapper...you'd be lucky to get a word in edgewise.

TVG HOSTS
Matt actually ran his own show on TVG about three years ago.
I think the perfect co-host would be Simon who gives insight into breeding.
and/or Dave Weaver who provides picks based on the sheets.

The Sarge is a terrific handicapper. Has a feel like an elite player. Or at least what I hear elite players are like.

Sure Thasky. First rule of broadcasting is don't bring on a guest that knows more than you. But what the heck. Columbus took a chance. You can come on too.
