Again, that's not his thought process. He never sees a ditch digger and he doesn't know any. He knows doctors and lawyers and academics and chefs and radio people. Among those he knows, he can't think of anything worse than taking a call from a guy screaming "FUCK MATT THORNTON!" after another blown save.

Being right after the game, Doug and OB are on the FRONT LINES. People are still drunk from the game when they call!!!


These post game hosts oughta have a union. These arent reasonable working conditions.

And if the hosts jobs are bad, think of the person answering the phones!! Are there suicide nets outside the SCORE studios?



CubbieGirlShamus used to dig ditches

But see, I don't blame the idiot caller. I blame the guy that puts him on the air. That's the bit. That's what you guys are missing.

Enough already. He clearly wasn't serious, and you've got nothing better to do apparently than pretend otherwise.

And keep that whole "somebody's got it much worse somewhere" shit to yourself .... mostly because it's intellectually lazy .... but also because you never hear somebody come back with "somebody's got it much better, too" .... both are true, so don't they cancel each other out by rule? Don't even think about answering that, because it shouldn't be thought of to begin with.

JORR says Dan is an elitist jerkoff (et al) ... well no shit pal - thank you for sharing your wondrous power of perceiving the bloody obvious. Before you go, do you happen to have any news on which direction the sun will be rising over the horizon tomorrow?

I'm not missing anything.

I get it and enjoy moron sports thought caller getting torn to pieces.

Otherwise you have Mully and Hanley where no matter how insipid a caller is, they're treated as if their thought is a good one.

That's no fun.

So he isn't serious when he starts screaming at guys like Giacomo? He's in complete control working a bit? Don't bother to answer because you obviously have no fucking idea.

Quite kind of Matt Bowen to contribute a paragraph. That was sportstastic.

Wait a minute. Is the caller a moron or is the piece tongue-in-cheek? You seem slightly confused about what you really think.

They don't? You just told me the piece wasn't serious. If that's the case, why get so worked up over a caller? Maybe because the piece was deadly serious at its core and contempt for the listeners is a basis of the show. It doesn't stop me from listening, but don't pretend like that isn't the case.

Huh?

They aren't mutually exclusive.

So, are you saying that the part about the callers being mouth-breathing idiots is serious, but the idea that it's horrible talking to them is tongue-in-cheek? Is that correct?

Oh I see ... it's always one way ... it's never changing .... it's immutable ... nobody ever changes their tone, or mood, or opinion, or persona, or anything about themselves .... ergo, Dan Bernstein is always 100% douche-mode and can never be taken seriously by anyone at anytime for any reason.

Takes a real special type to uncover such an obvious truth .... got any more old Grampa Simpson rambling-style rock band stories, sini ... I mean, JORR?

Yeah, I don't think they believe Rongey's gig is worse than cleaning toilets, but that isn't really what they're comparing it to. Within their sphere they see taking postgame Sox calls as the nadir of sports radio followed by postgame after a Bear loss.

I can't say for sure about bernstein, but you are undoubtedly always 100% in douche-mode.

Callers being dumb=serious
Article "complaining" about how hard it is talking to them= tongue-in-cheek

Easy enough for you?

You really think his complaints about callers- which certainly aren't confined to that one article- are tongue-in-cheek? Okay. Agree to disagree.

Don: Am I wrong, JORR?! Am I wrong??!!

JORR: You're not wrong Don, you're just an asshole.

It's apparently destined to be that way more often than it should be .... I don't actually dislike him though .... never once considered the foe list for him .... in reality, I would opine his is one of the more interesting lives to have led around these parts.

But again, he does show us his wonderful skills by pointing out the obvious, that I am a douche ... this is not news, folks.

I'm convinced the 'Stine is usually more like the fuckrag he plays on the radio than a neo-Borscht Belt bit comedian but that "article" had its tongue mostly firmly planted in its cheek.
