I listen to Sean, and fundamentally I agree with him most of the time. However, he has several idiosyncrasies that annoy me, such as saying "our good friend..." or "my good friend..." as well as other often used phrases. It might not seem like a big deal, but to me it gets annoying. I just get the impression that he's a big bullshi**er. When he takes a call on the radio, he'll initially let the caller talk, but then rush him/her after about a minute as though he's trying to get as many calls in as possible, rather than focusing on the content of the call.

When he takes a call on the radio, he'll initially let the caller talk, but then rush him/her after about a minute as though he's trying to get as many calls in as possible, rather than focusing on the content of the call. You've nailed it. This is precisely what separates Sean from Rush: Rush actually listens to his callers. With Sean, you get the feeling that he's simply waiting to barge in again.
It takes more concentration to listen than it does to speak--perhaps someday Sean will grasp this.
