From Maddux Boy, to some girl named Steph.

Wow, I was all ready to jump on Drinky's side but he's being a dick for no reason

And Maddux Boy is just taking it because he cant risk losing his standing on the show as an approved caller



Just terrible all around

Mike in Milwaukee is a pathetic drunk and Maddux Boy is a pathetic sober guy.

Maddux Boy was pretty harsh about Mike In Milwaukee. I think drinky was well deserved to call him out on it.

That was the twitter equivalent of a CSFMB argument between chaspopcap and Baby McCown.

I don't think Mike is pathetic. I think he's an older retired guy that is enjoying life. He probably drinks as much as a lot of college kids. I say go for it at that age.

His bartender whom I assume knows him well told them on the radio he is special to be sure but in no way let on he was the bar asshole. If so, I doubt he would be welcomed back everyday. His wife drives him home and as far as we know she is not beaten. He is fine.

Exactly. Mike lives the working class man's version of retirement. He didn't make enough for the home in Florida and he has enough wits about him to not be stuck in a senior facility. It sounds like he has old friends and is well liked by the new people he meets. So he drinks. Would it be better if he sat there all day and watched TV?

If the B&B crew ever got away from the North Shore, they'd find that there are towns full of guys like Mike that go out in the morning and hang out at the circular coffee shop counter, maybe spend some time just sitting at the barber shop, and then head to the bar sometime after lunch to play some cards for a while and head home around dinner time....and nobody thinks anything of it.

They don't have to go that far. The Lamppost sat right on the border of Evanston and Chicago. You could find local government employee retirees sitting in there shooting the shit every single afternoon. Most were just nursing a beer and looking for camaraderie.

It's not Mike's drinking that makes him pathetic, it's that he allows himself to be used as a bad joke by bernstein.

I was just coming to type this. Really, it's bizarre to me that anti-bully and super morality crusader Bern Stine would use Mike in Milwaukee and Bob in Niles as he does. It's straight up hypocrisy. And while I find Bern Stine amusing I find him less and less so as time goes on. I'm starting to worry. Worry that he might be a "bad guy".
