Just now, Joe was talking about moving into a new place

So Joe's producer gets on the air and they talk about how Spiegel made a Score producer help him move. They laughed and had a tone of disgust that Spiegel uses a Score producer to do non station work for him.

As lowly producers themselves, you can tell they don't like that shit for obvious reasons. It makes them all feel like they're worthless employees that are just around to serve the talk show hosts - on and off the air. All Score producers were most likely already mad at Spiegel for that "Part timer" comment to Drinky. Cuz that comment was really an insult to all of them.

I don't hear Spiegel much, but you guys might be right. He's hated by a lot of people at the Score.

The Score has a long history of producers being allowed to bitch, cry and complain about their lot at the station. All of them always have this depressing "Woe as me" attitude when they get to do shows. Seems like they all want to get sympathy from the listeners.

Add Joe to that list.

Joe is right. Bitch move by Spiegel. It's just how does this come up out of no where while doing Bears post game? I'm shocked that Mitch allows his producers to behave like bitchy, whinny high school girls. This is a big time radio station in a big city. It's small time behavior by these producers when they do this.

Right. But the regular day talkers get judged by their ratings. If they're successful, Mitch takes their shit cuz they make his station money. When producers get shows, ratings don't matter cuz nights and weekends don't matter in radio. Since it doesn't matter who hosts these shows, you'd think Mitch would crack the whip on these producers when they behave like bitches.

Mitch doesn't have a whip to crack. He doesn't manage anyone. The Score is a free for all with no leadership.

Joe Ostrowski always seems to be inconsequentially whining about inconsequential things. His shows should have a theme song that announces this. It can sound like Skinner and the Superintendent.

Feelings for Joe O aside.... the princess making the producers move his shit is busch league considering how he treats them. I am thinking Mac would have paid them, gotten them fed well, drunk...etc. The candyman probably just said don't be late to work tomorrow part timer.

[You guys are making those guys out to be helpless , tender, naive waifs who cant speak up for themselves and need to be protected from their evil overlords. They're not Derrick Rose for god's sake .

When I first heard him, I assumed he was like a 19 or 20 year old because he is so fucking vapid. Come to find out this motherfucker is pushing 40 and, I think, married with a kid????? And Mike North can't get a job better than the new Whipping Boy? My God, man!

It's always tough to gauge the veracity of stories like this, but if Spiegel really "made" a producer help him move, that's supremely fucked-up.

They never said "made". Forgive me for that. They brought it up and had this disgusted tone about Spiegel doing it. Obviously you can't make somebody move your crap.

You know, maybe one of them did say "Made". I don't remeber. I was 12 ICE HOUSES deep when I heard it.

If you are ever down south you need to treat yourself to a case of Southpaw which is made by the icehouse plank road brewery.

Joe was telling the audience yesterday how he can't wait to go home cuz he got a couple of idiot callers. Really, Joe? You guys have been answering phones for years. You're not too cool for this shit.

This is the fundamental problem with Dan setting the editorial tone for the station. Joe and Connor and Drinky can all whine about having SUCH STUPID CALLERS, but if, god knows how, they had a "smart" caller on the line, they wouldn't know what the fuck to do. The only thing sadder than punching down is punching down from somewhere that's not even that up in the first place.

You can strongly encourage them to do it though.
