I listen to this podcast every week when I’m on the bus to work. As I watch the raindrops race each other down the glass windows of the bus, I hear the symphony of Ben and Andrew’s voices in my ears. The dynamics between Sharp and Golliver bring a smile to my face as I listen to the countless takes about Nikola Jokic and Ron Baker look-a-likes, the Taco Bell menu and Warriors unwatchability.
These two guys are like bread and butter: together they are amazing, but when one is not there, you really miss the other.
When Ben is on his umpteenth hike through the national parcs of the great US of A, one of his drone flights or fridge magnet hauls, all I can think about is Andrew desperately trying to message Ben about how bad Root Canal Reggie Jackson is.
But all is well when I hear the sound of a basketball going through the hoop at the start of a new podcast, immediately followed by Andrew’s soft and light voice saying: “Hello and welcome to another episode of Open Floor, I’m Andrew Sharp, and on the other line, Ben Golliver. What’s up man?”. And when I hear Ben’s low and calming voice respond “Not too much Andrew”, I know I’m in for a real treat.
Honestly, these guys really make my hour long bus drives a lot better, and I’d like to thank them for that.
