Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"They've done their best to keep the sports world on its toes."Sports talk radio tends to be a bit predictable, if you stop and listen to it. You've got some really boneheadedly-stupid callers, with some really bizarre theories about sports.Since keeping these callers / listeners happy means ratings, the host or hosts on the show immediately agrees with the caller, because that's really why the callers called in: to hear their voice on the radio, and for someone they listen to on the radio agree with them.Boers And Bernstein, on the Chicago radio station The Score (WSCR 670AM), is not that kind of show. At all.Hosted the titular Dan Bernstein and Terry Boers, the show's main draw is how the hosts interact with their callers, who rarely remember that these hosts won't simply agree with whatever they say. Depending on your bent, this is the draw of the show.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Armor-Piercing Question
 Boers and Bernstein (Radio) / int_7b6e47a5
comment
Armor-Piercing Question: Dan has a lot of these, if he disagrees with a caller's statement. For example, if a caller says that fighting in the NHL brings about Team Unity, Momentum, and inevitable victory, Dan will ask the caller how a local hockey team succeeds if they don't fight. Or he'll point out that NHL playoff games are notorious for not including fighting. Generally speaking, the caller will then swear or sputter and get kicked off the air.

comment
Berserk Button: Dan does not like when he asks a caller a question about their statement and does not answer it. This is generally because said question will explore just how incorrect their statement was.

Calling the Old Man Out
 Boers and Bernstein (Radio) / int_e52a0409
comment
Calling the Old Man Out: Their "signature segment" is called Who You Crappin?. Callers are encouraged to find something a sports person/entity claimed, explain why they are wrong, and end the line with "(Name}, Who You Crappin?". The segment itself was coined after Terry asked Mike Ditka to respond to allegations that he didn't have 'the fire', and Ditka pointed out that Terry regularly mocked Ditka's comments on 'the fire'.
