I think he'd be great on a station like 890 although he would have to betray his political ideologies. On the other hand, he might be even more popular if he was on that station as the raging liberal.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

This show needs Rock Mamola.

"It is alive"

Berns cant find anything better. No one wants to hire him. If Mitch leaves, Bernsie is at risk. What ever Bernsies next job is will not allow him to be the insensitive jagoff that he is on the Score.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Developing talent? No. Not important to the Score. It's a cost effective business model for the station the way they do it.

1. These producers are hired in their 20s. It's a fun, easy, cool job. Doesn't pay much but what the hell? These kids are just thinking about drinking, watching sports and trying to get laid at this point. They're all naive in thinking that they will be the next radio star in a line of work that is very limited. Never mind that they can't speak and aren't very smart. Never mind that they really aren't qualified based on lack of education or broadcasting skills. These small details never enter their mind as they're crying about air time. They're not very self aware.

2. The Score knows these producers are dumb and will stay for low pay with the unrealistic hope of being a radio star. They use that against them.

3. Years go by and these producers are stuck. Tough to switch careers at this point. Raido producer at the Score is such a unique job that it doesn't help you in any other line of work. Filling out a resume that says you answer phones and play racist sound bites doesn't help you get hired else where. For all of them, it's advance at the Score or nothing.

4. So now these guys are looking to get married and have kids. They realize "Shit, I need money and this radio shit is all I know" (1.) The wife is pissed at them or (2.) they can't even get a wife without money. They beg Mitch for something extra for any amount of money. Mitch throws them part time shifts, "expert titles" and bar appearances in addition to their producing job. They take it. If they bitch about the pay, Mitch fires them and gives it to the next dumb ass desperate producer.

5. The Score doesn't care who's hosting these weekend or night shifts. Ad rates are the same no matter who it is. So they don't need to develop talent. It doesn't matter. That's why they split it up amongst producers. They want to give a little taste to 4 or 5 producers to keep them around and thinking they will be the next star. That way they always have somone to fill a shift and they keep experienced producers. If and when a prime time slot opens they won't hire these producers. Hell no. They'll hire a writer (Mully and Hanley), a retread from the market (Mac), a radio vet from another market (Spiegs) or an ex pro athlete (Hamp, Norm, Buffone). Too big of a job to give it to these producers. Most GMs and PDs are not gonna trust giving this job to a producer unless they really stand out. Most don't stand out. Rarely happens in this business.

That's how your Score 670 works ladies and gentlemen. It's the dirty side of the business that the Score won't talk about as they celebrate 20 years.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

No, I think I'm right.

Give it a try with that context.

No, I think I'm wrong.

Although I suspect that Joe says "obviously" and "everrrrr" frequently. That could be a tell.

Also, I noticed that Connor is addressing "Joe" more often. Smart.

I was listening to drinky and really having a hard time determining if it was Connor or Joe sitting in with him. It took me about 5 minutes before I was pretty sure it was Connor.

But, I was wrong.

It was Adam Hoge.
