Sorry, I'm late posting this, but last week a caller was bleeped during the Spiegs and Parkins show. The word? Douche! Parkins said he was a bit surprised because that would of never happened at his old station. So, this leads me to Mitch Rosen. At first glance this seems like something a conservative christian radio station would do, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT...... It involves a vagina and Mitch cannot be seen as putting down women through guy talk! This is clearly a social just warrior move hidden in a stack of bibles! I can no longer consider Mitch a man. He has now devolved into some sort of sick half woman, half metro sexual beast lab created baby. While Parkins is slightly liberal, i think this social justice crap is frightening him. This is a guy who hung out with investment banker children his whole life and now he can't say douche!?!?!

Dan McNeil, please spill the beans. Your non-compete agreement has expired

I think this is a CBS Standards & Practices issue. "Douchebag" has been off limits for, oh, ten years, maybe?

What was the term B&B were forced to drop some years ago...assbag, jagbag, assclown, something like that? It was one of Terry's favorites, as I recall.

I think it was ass hat?

Yeah that may have been it. Maybe it was a joke, but I recall them talking about it briefly after they had to drop a caller for using it, it seemed like an incredibly asinine designation.

If it was a CBS corporate thing why would it have been ok at his last station?

Parkins' last station is owned by Entercom, which only recently acquired--or began to acquire--CBS Radio.

Yeah I think Boers started using Deutsch Bank some time ago instead.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

He said Parkins sounded "douchey". No dump button was used. Heard it loud and clear.

Were you listening to the stream or the OTA radio feed?

There was a time when the B&B show used to make fun of gay people. Or call things and/or people "Gay". That sort of thing. Terry once nicknamed a producer "Count Fagula".

I once asked Goff about them doing this on this board. Told him for somebody that is against racism, you shouldn't be doing this sort of thing. He called me a dumb ass cracker. Then a few years later, Bernstein evolved and didn't call people "Gay" anymore. Which meant, of course, that Goff evolved as well and stopped doing it also.

But this dumb ass cracker told them it was wrong long before they evolved.

OTA, that's why I was surprised it got through.

I'd toss 'asswipe' out there as the word you seek.

douche gate sounds like a new feminine napkin product.

Hard to imagine Bernsie tolerating any disrespect for such a global finance giant, not to mention a potential advertiser between fake boner pill spots.

Actually I think it was Dan who used it on occasion. Not sure if the Mokena Flash was up on his investment banks.
