I do think this is all leading to drinky eventually punching Bernstein in the very near future.
I don't think drinky's anger is all about the subjects on the show. I think it goes deeper. He just uses the show content to let it all out. He's pissed at his treatment by the Score. He's lost his status at the station. He's falling fast and hard. I think he's also pissed that Bernstein doesn't champion his cause like Mac has done for Finfer.
Well, Finfer is a complete Mac ball licker. He's three feet up his ass. Drinky would never lower himself to kiss the Stein's ass so why would Dan go to bat for him? You have to suck up to someone to advance in radio if you have no superstar talent. While I like Matt, I don't see him as a ground breaking radio talent in this city. It seems to me from what I have heard over the years is Matt views Boers as his radio mentor. And what can Boers do for you? Teach you how to be a sycophant to a jackass partner? He probably
could do something if someone lit a fire under his ass. But Boers has checked out and has been mailing it in for years. Matt need himself a patron. Fucking Larry has more pull at the station through Mitch. You don't see Holmes doing Scoreboard updates.
True. Drinky is way too proud to kiss anybody's ass for advancement. Still, he's gone the complete opposite. His main purpose now-a-days is to go on the air to put Bernstein down. Bernstein takes it with a smile. It's like a kid messing with a parent and the parent just ignores it. It makes for some stupid radio, however.
Although Bernstein isn't the type to go to bat for anybody even if you did kiss his ass. Bernstein only cares about his own interests in this radio game. There's nothing wrong with that, by the way. Larry still kisses Bernstein's ass thinking it will help him get Terry's seat eventually. Larry has no shame and he does it cuz he figures it could only help and couldn't hurt. If Rozner or Rosie get it, Larry would be crushed.
Goff plays it in the middle. He shows Bernstein the proper amount of respect while still messing with him. But it's never mean with Goff like it is with Drinky. Goff fears Bernstein more than drinky. Goff thinks he can get Terry's seat so he's not gonna do what drinky does. Drinky doesn't think he has a shot so he has an "I don't give a fuck" attitude.
