Yeah, I mean I listed to about half the podcast so he talked about it and it is totally believable. Maybe its because I just see it all the time. Maybe its because Matt and I are close in age (I think he is a touch older but maybe I'm wrong). Maybe its because tons of guys I talk to that are older than me are still wanting to quit but don't see a way out and have to stick to it to support themselves or their families. Or the dreaded, what else am I going to do? I talk to my brother all the time about this and I hear it in his voice how he much he would love to do something else and maybe someday. I think one of the happiest/saddest moments he had was when his wife got her promotion and it was local instead of forcing a move. He was happy to not have to move but I think he saw that move as an easy way to sell out of his share of his group and just not do what he does at the level he does it anymore.

Being mystified by this is just odd.

Of course he wasn't happy working at the station anymore. He saw the writing on the wall when he didn't get a hosting gig. He knew it was a dead end job. Who wouldn't start looking for a new job after coming to that realization? Just admit it instead of crapping us with "I just got tired of sports".

We sorted it out here on the board, didnt we?

Yeah. They're a modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

IG, was Matt's falling out of love with his career a building to a crescendo, or did he just wake up one day and think "I don't want to do this anymore"?

This passes the spell test.

IceG just popped up on my people you should follow on Twitter yesterday...weird

She's about the best goomah in the world. Janet Rossi never defended Henry like Ice Ice Baby does drinky.

Janice didnt either


Drinky as James Woods and IG as Sharon Stone from Casino might be more apt

I like drinky. I wouldn't make that comparison

Me too. That is probably harsh.

Its just that it seems like more of a triangle between Drinky, the husband and IG than Drinky, IG, and Drinky's ex

Mr IG sees IG and Drinky coming off the Motel 6 private jet.
IG wobbles a little as she comes down the ramp.

IG
(Waving brightly)
Hi, Mr IG

Mr IG picks AMY up and hugs her, ignoring IG. They walk to
the car and drive off.

INT. Mr IG's CAR - NIGHT

AMY looks on from the back seat.

Mr IG
So, what'd ya do with it?

IG
With what?

Mr IG
With the money.

IG
He needed some clothes.

Mr IG
(Sighs)
Twenty-five thousand for clothes.

IG
He wanted a watch, too.

Mr IG
Twenty-five thousand for clothes and
a watch.

IG
Mm-hm.

Mr IG
Mm-hm.



INT. Hugo's Frog Bar- NIGHT

walk towards a table overlooking the colorful lights of
downtown Vegas.

MAITRE D'
...good evening. Signora.

IG
Gino.

MAITRE D'
This way.

Mr IG Voice over
(as they are led to
their table)
The good part was, I had Amy back.
So, we went home, had the housekeeper
stay over, put the kid to bed, I
calmed myself down and we went to
dinner. I tried to keep things nice
and civil, you know. But... hey,
twenty-five thousand for three suits?
That doesn't make much sense.

Mr IG
(Seated across from
IG at a booth)
First of all, he's not gonna wear f-
thousand-dollar suits. But let's say
he did, which he won't. How you gonna
get fitted for twenty-five suits in
three days? I, um, I mean, how could
you get fitted that fast? I can't
get fitted that fast, and I pay twice
as much.

IG
I bought him a watch too.

Mr IG
Yeah.

IG
Yeah.

Mr IG
But even if you bought him a watch,
a really nice watch, one that he
thought was nice - and he doesn't
know what the fuck a good watch is -
so, you go, five, ten, twelve grand?

IG
Yeah.

Mr IG
At the most, which is impossible for
him.

She glances to the table behind them.

Mr IG
Plus, at the most, three suits, a
thousand apiece. That still leaves
what? Around ten thousand?

IG
(Staring down at her
plate, trying to
restrain herself)
Would you knock it off, Mr IG?

Mr IG
I'm just tryin' to figure it out.

IG
There's nothin' to figure out. I'm
home... we're workin' it out.

She takes a drink of Prosecco

Mr IG
Yeah, but I've been told that before,
'We're workin' it out.' You think
that you're home... after what you
just put me through with Amy, is a
favor to me?

She looks at Mr IG

Mr IG
(Pause)
So, counting the watch, let's say
another four thousand for expenses
over the weekend... of which you
must have had a good time. I know he
did. That's for sure. I know that...
fuckin' piece of shit had a good
fuckin' time. On my money. You might
as well have fucked him, which you
probably did anyway.

IG glares at him.

Mr IG
You're lookin' at me a certain way.
You - you're teary-eyed, huh? You're
upset. You're a good actress, you
know that? Good fuckin' actress.
You can fuckin' get that pity out of
people. I'm not a john, you
understand? You always thought I
was, but I'm not. And I'm not a
sucker. That fuckin' pimp cocksucker.
He's lucky I didn't kill him last
time. Lucky he's fuckin' livin'.

That's pretty amazing. What the hell was that son of a bitch, Mitch Rosen, paying him, ICE GIRL?

Good for drinky. Now he can afford Ice Girl.

Round goes to the IceGirl

Drinky is not beyond the EGO as we know from his days on air. Please...dont' tell me HE MADE $18,000 in sales in first 20 days. He probably sold $18,000 in product!!! BFD!!

Please...tell me these vitamins are going to save the world!!! 'cause God knows ...there is NOWHERE I can find vitamins!??!?

Drinky did NOT get a slap in the face...when you SUCK at what you do...you DON'T GET PROMOTED!!! Unless of course you're Julie DiCaro which that is some shit I do NOT understand!!!

I read it as him selling that amount. Heck, it looks like it was written as such, which really means nothing.

Oh wow, do you feel better after that outburst?

Where do you work? Are there other companies that do what you do? Or are one who is "saving the world"??

Also, I'm not the one who is saying vitamins. That's Beardown.

I'm glad you "know" Matt from his days in air!

I have known him for over a decade......in person.....which is real life.

Big boy Matt has his first real job (at like age 47) and now his floozy is coming to his defense against a bunch of anonymous message board HATERS.

How long did his ex wife know him? That was real life too. As it turns out, she didn't know him. She never saw you coming. So real life doesn't matter either.

Pretty sure you're the last person on the entire damn earth that should speak of "real life"
