Spiegs off due to singing the night before....I am really amazed that is allowed.

If I had a guy who worked for me and he called in numerous times telling me he was too tired because he hung drywall at his other job all night...LOL.....

Well, at least this time it's somewhat tied to sports/his job as supposed to the Tributo stuff

I assume he uses a vacation day in advance of the show. If he waits until the morning to see how he feels, then yes that is pretty bad.

It's one thing if he is calling in the morning of his show to cancel.

It's a completely different situation if he takes planned time off. That's not a big deal, and shouldn't be. Just because you're aware of what he's doing the night before his day off shouldn't have any impact as long as what he's doing is legal.

It's not like WSCR agreed to give him unlimited days off like they did for Mac

As no replacement is there, guessing that call came in this morning...

I didn't notice when I first tuned in. I just thought it was Jason talking all over Spiegs as they headed towards a break. Between me wondering how long it would be before hearing my first hand-clap, the phrase "hand clap" and the break. I switched stations.

Now, the lack of structure comes through. Check maybe later.

Actually, not a bad gabfest today. I enjoy the Cubs/Sox thing a lot. Lots of good natured play and banter going on.

I get that people get sick, and it's unplanned often, but this scenario seems unlikely given that he was doing his show the night before (unless he lost his voice).

If he did call in sick the morning of, that would be upsetting if I were his boss since his on-air presence is required (even though they have 2 producers who could filled in for a day). I assume he normally has days off planned though

I don't really care why a person requests PTO though. I think some people here are upset (irrationally) because they know why he is taking off.

there probably wasn't an Uber driver available this morning

Probably drunk on scotch with Eddie Vedder until the wee hours.

He usually takes the day off in advance.

People are really mad that he uses the vacation time that is in his contract?

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

The way Goof was talking at the end of the show made it sound like spiegs being gone was unexpected at least to him. Didn't he miss the day after Theo's event last year too? How are they not prepared for that?

As far as the time off thing, if he plans it in advance then it's no ones business what he does with that day but if he's calling in, which is reasonable to assume since they had no backup, dick move. Spiegel knows well enough that he's not coming in the night after singing and drinking, there's no reason a group of adults can't communicate and plan ahead. Unless he was just trying to spare us another Rozner appearance. In which case, I am grateful.

Mac is gone now. Fatpants is still employed, however. I have no idea what made Mitch think Goff would be a good match for Spiegs. That alone is grounds for his dismissal.

I'm not sure what Goff is a match for. I don't think his match is anywhere near the radio business.

I'm actually fearing for my life right now with my criticism of the quasi-thuggish one.
