Very lame! People hate this guy so much they'd try and get him fired? I'm in the camp that this is his on air persona. Dave Baum told him years ago that you want half your audience to love you, and half your audience to hate you. Bernsie took it to heart!

I don't think anyone is trying to get him fired. Just draw more attention to his more outrageous statements. I'm sure people have differing motivations for this but I think many people are like CH and just want him to stop saying creepy shit.


I shouldn't paint with such a broad brush I guess. Point taken.

Agreed. He's reached a level of smarminess which isn't entertaining.

It must suck to have a radio that does not turn off or change to another station. You might want to get that looked at.

Just having a discussion.

You got love for your 2nd rated drive time radio host. It's cool. No need to downplay.

You listen to and bitch about a 2nd rate drive time host. And you are upset because he doesn't get in trouble for saying things that make you sad.


But that's not my business...

Just so I have this 100% clear, and I'm not judging, but a radio host that receives an adequate amount of hate from this board daily should not be exposed for how antiquated his schtick has become because... We need to have our daily dose of "I hate, but I listen"? Who cares if he were to get in trouble or fired? Does it affect us that much? Does. It. Get. Us. Closer. To. A. Tolerable. Radio. Show?

The problem is, only one of us cares if he gets fired. I don't care if he's on the radio one more second. I don't listen much anymore and I have a shit load of podcasts that I try to get through in a week.


You care....a lot. You listen to a show that makes you angry and you are actively hoping the host gets fired. :?

There's other shit to listen to. And other (more important) things to get so upset about...

I think we realize (or we should) that in the big picture, both his show and our community are inconsequential noise, and having listened to the guy for all these years, see him as enough of a real person not to wish ill fortune on him in real life. I don't like the idea of trying to get people fired for being offensive. I'm offensive. Everyone's offensive. I just wish his show could be good again. I don't think turning him over to Nick Denton's Internet Police is going to make that happen.

The fuck are you on about? 'Exposed'?

You're not some investigative journalist or private detective or some shit ... you're another idiot posting on a messageboard with other idiots. Who the fuck are you 'exposing' this to anyway? Who the hell is supposed to care about your 'exposition'?

And you only 'expose' someone you're standing in judgement of, nimnuts ... disillusioned and disingenuous ... terrific combo.

Gotta be Breeding Brittany Griner right?


Consensus #1. That was just disturbing.

#2 would probably be "LOOK AT THEIR BODIES" because it's so close to what Donald Sterling said.

#3 is that Katharine Webb is a walking talking sex object.


Was it ever determined who he wanted to breed her with? Was it another professional athlete or was it a REALLY. SMART. GUY. to get the perfect combination of athleticism and brains?

Gabe Kapler of course.

Geez Louise Don. I'm taken aback by your fire and passion for whatever it is your blood pressure is jumping about.

Ah, that old saw ... DT disagreed and didn't bend over backwards to be British-polite about it ... doesn't change anything about what you said and how you're trying to backtrack though ... if your best defense is to bring out the "DT's Angry" option, you're pretty much admitting you have no actual rebuttal to what I said.
