Spiegel is telling a story about his recent vacation with his wife and son. After a day of activities, his wife and son went to take a nap and he went down to the bar for a drink.

He wound up getting falling down, passed out drunk and had to go to urgent care the next morning because he hurt himself when he fell down and passed out. He seemed to think this was funny, as if he were out with his buddies and not doing this while his wife and son are up in a hotel room, presumably waiting for him after they got up from their nap.

WHY would you tell that story on the air and think it's funny?

No Gooda

His recent water park vacation? Kenny Powers!

Score suite getting prepped! Mac and Grote already etched their names into the ceiling beam!

Seems like this could be a dilemma for some here. Dude hurts himself in a really stupid way, but wife/child are involved so you can't really enjoy his mishap...

Sorry, I didn't see a 2/11 thread when I checked the section. You must have posted yours while I was typing mine.

What's his deal? Can't hold his liquor? Bingey? Too much too often?

Can he not metabolize alcohol? A guy that big should be telling Andre the Giant stories about drinking a six-pack and not feeling anything.

That's what I was thinking. Spiegel is 400 pounds, right?

Somebody that big must have to drink an awful lot to get sloppy drunk.

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too.

It's okay because he felt bad about it. What an idiot. Then he jokes about the Danny Mac and Mark Grote Score Rehab suite. Completely oblivious to how much of a problem he has. Then he reasons that maybe just not drinking on the first night of a vacation will solve things.

Food will kill him first long before alcohol takes his life.

Well, if his family was going up for a nap, this was probably the middle of the afternoon.

That's a little early, even for me, to get fall-down drunk. I'd wait until at least after 10pm - especially on vacation.

You know me like that.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought he said the wife and kid were headed to bed early, and not nap time.

Either way, the story sounded sad. It really is starting to sound like he has a problem. I really don't see how he found this to be funny, nor why he felt the need to share it over the airwaves.

that's my concern, since I'm a radio listener. Sounds like a shitty story. I don't really care to diagnose Spiegel and his issues. But if I did...he probably fell more because he's a fatass.

Yeah....yeah, you're right.

I will assume my guy was at Timber Ridge, the Waterpark, as his kid is too young for the Wilderness park.

Then it now depends on whether or not he stayed in the Grand Geneva or the Timber Ridge facility itself. To be that hammerred at the Timber Ridge bar is like being drunk in the middle of a ChuckEcheese! If you are staying at the Grand, at least its a real bar there!

As a long time veteran of both facilities and I have never had the responsibility of taking my kid to the place, but have been there with kids, taking my responsibility level below his, but still having the display some responsibility, I could never see me spending enough time at any of the bars on either premise to not be able to walk and end up smashed into something.

Does either (or both) have a swim-up bar? He mentioned that was one of his booze crooze stops.

You guys think Spiegs has a drinking problem?


What has happened beside this?

Ask BF about the fantasy draft.

I vaguely remember some story in Arizona (spring training maybe) at some resort complex type thing where Speigs drank so much so much they had to drive him in a golf cart from the bar to his room.

Yes.

I've been saying this for a long, long time on here. It's well documented, I believe part of an OFFICIAL ST was dedicated to it.
