Tuesday’s Paul Finebaum Show went to the dogs

While The Paul Finebaum Show frequently features conversations about the Mississippi State and Georgia Bulldogs, dogs were front and center on Tuesday for an entirely different reason.

Finebaum took a call from Tim, a caller from Arkansas. But when the conversation began, Tim’s voice was not what Finebaum heard. Instead, Tim’s dog was heard barking for several seconds before Finebaum asked, “Are we calling a dog kennel here, or Tim?”

Tim eventually joined the conversation but the dog would not stop barking.

“Tim, have you ever fed this dog?” asked Finebaum. “It’s not a bad idea.”

While Tim tried to explain the situation, the barking persisted.

“By the way, this dog would be a perfect Finebaum caller, as much as it barks,” Finebaum joked.

“I promise you a dog biscuit will cure this problem,” Finebaum added later. “I’ve had a dog for a long time. Put something in their mouth. They will be quiet. Either a hand or a biscuit. Or a foot.”

Tim then asked Finebaum to “Say hello to Valerie,” which brought the segment to an end.

Finebaum sent the show to commercial, giving Tim a chance to get things in order.

To be fair, Tim’s dog was no less informed, and significantly more entertaining, than a lot of other callers.
