They dominate morning sports talk on ESPN radio stations nationwide, and you can see a TV simulcast of their award-winning “Mike & Mike in the Morning” show on ESPN2.

Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic enjoy a terrific on-air chemistry that perfectly matches Greenberg’s prim and proper style with the rough and ready approach of former NFL star Golic.

No one would ever mistake these two as brothers, but they act like they’ve known each other forever. In addition to busy on-air duties and hosting special events, they both gladly give a lot of attention and time to a variety of charitable causes. Greenberg’s new best-selling book, “Why My Wife Thinks I’m an Idiot: The Life and Times of a Sportscaster Dad” is available everywhere.

Name a food or dish the other Mike loves that you would never touch under any circumstances.

Greenberg: Golic loves blue cheese dressing. No way for me.

Golic: He loves butternut squash. I wouldn’t eat it on my deathbed.

Messiest food or snack you ever ate while driving.

Greenberg: Egg whites and slice of Muenster cheese on a toasted whole-wheat bagel.

Golic: I once ate ribs while driving. Not a great experience.

A food or snack your kids love that you enjoy just as much as they do.

Greenberg: Princess fruity snacks.

Golic: We share many bowls of Captain Crunch together.

A “secret” food or eating habit:

Greenberg: There is nothing better than a real Chicago Italian beef sandwich dipped and covered with hot peppers.

Golic: When I was playing football I would eat my pre-game meal of scrambled eggs and pancakes, then I would get to the stadium and mix in a cream-filled doughnut to top it all off.
