They need to give the hosts time for a smoke and/or a shit.




Then have Grote cut a clip at 6am and replay it all day.

One of Larry's callers just said he felt bad for Abbatacola on air and they let him roll with it. Very out of character for a score host to not snap at someone for that kind of talk.

That 10-12 shift is really great for drinky. It is low stress air time where he can work on his technique. I like the move.

On the other hand it is not very conducive to a family life.

I think it was before the 330pm update today abbatacola was chiming in correcting Bernstein on something and ended it with . "That's why you had me fired, right Dan?"

Considering the love Matt professed for Terry at retirement show, perhaps Matty was kept on board with the show to appease Terry. With the palpable tension between Dan and Matt expressed throughout the years its not unreasonable to think Terry leaving the show gave FOTS a chance to finally dump Matty.

No. I actually heard that. Drinky was joking about Bernstein having him fired. Trust me. It was a joke. A bad joke. But I can read drinky's bad jokes.

Yeah, I bet Drinky is making the same or nearly the same amount as he was as a producer, but now doesn't have to screen calls, book guests, keep sponsor logs, etc.

Less work for the same amount of money is a godsend to a guy going through a divorce.

I think it was Chus that said drinky took a demotion by being full time on updates.

No. Most radio producers are in their 20s and 30s. Update guys in this city and probably across the country are in their 50s and 60s. Like Offman and Joniak at WBBM.

He just aged out of it. He was trying to be a talk show host. Mitch thinks he's an idiot. So drinky asked him if he can be full time update guy. Drinky is one of those guys that is just there so long that they keep him. It's really that simple. Nobody there think he's important or has talent. Now he has his new role.

To Chus's point of a demotion. Do you think Joniack and Offman ask their bosses if they can get a promotion to being a producer? Of course not. Cuz it's not the higher job.

Mitch also throws drinky a bunch of endorsement deals. He's really lucky. He's survived in the radio biz without having any talent and being a dumb ass.

Awful analogy BD, Joniak and Ofman have full time jobs and make much more than drinktard. They don't need to beg.

It wasn't an analogy. I was just saying full time update people don't aspire to be full time producers. But the opposite is true. Once again, it was just shooting down Chus's notion that drinky got demoted.

It was a demotion.

Did Julie just come in and take the best position, outside of hosting?

Baba-Booey is the producer of the Howard Stern show. Outside of Howard, Robin, and Fred, he is the most important person on the show, which employs many people.

You think this guy has time for another job? http://chicago.cbslocal.com/personality/jeff-joniak/


I also believe Abattaclueless was demoted.

It absolutely was a demotion. There is one executive producer for each show. The update people change every few hours. They are as interchangeable as Legos. New on-air people at the station start as weekend update people. They don't start as executive producer of afternoon drive.

Yeah. The afternoon show had many update people. They had a bunch of part timers for years. But once Goff got the show, they gave it to drinky 5 days a week. He's full time. Just like Julie is full time for middays.
