I've caught some of the DP show on TV. That really is just playful banter with those guys. And drinky is the update guy for Mac, not his producer, that's why him being the annoying dope bothers Mac and Spiegel so much. They expect him to actually be a pro. And they really don't want to do "Stupid Talk" with him, but he can't take that hint from them.

Zizou is right, drinky is out over his skis. It's not like he's made it and can afford to burn bridges or make enemies. He's way to damn cocky for somebody in his low position. He just can't afford to be the angry, bitch jack ass that he has become. The older he gets, the more pathetic he looks.

Boers and Bernstein have made it. Bernstein pretty much runs to Score. Everybody at the Score answers to Bernstein. Even Mitch. That's why B&B can afford to burn bridges and make enemies.
