Great(or not so great) Posts in Radio-Info Atlanta Board History

R

RTibbs

Based on the Kimmer thread below(or maybe above depending on when you read this). I am going to start a new feature on this board. Titled "Great Posts in Radio-Info Atlanta Board History". I will revive old threads and we can reminisce about whether our opinions stil hold up today or just look back at those crazy clothes we wore, bad haircuts we had, how skinny we looked or those silly personalities we thought were good at the time.

For the first installment I am going with a doubleheader from June 2005. In the end these threads became entwined into a single theme.

The two threads are:

Regular Guys Sidekick - http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index.php/topic,1454.0.html

This thread deals with a poster name Kevin who seems to want to apply for some phantom sidekick position on the Regular Guys show Version 2.0. Kevin succinctly wraps up the post with the following sentence "I don't think Southside would go back to being their whipping boy for all the asian massage parlor reviews they'd pay to send him on!" Needles to say Kevin is no longer pursuing his dream of being a Fortune Teller.

Callandro at 99x - http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index.php/topic,1258.0.html

Callandro at 99x is a great thread from a first-time poster Vegemite John who just came back to town from out of the country(perhaps Australia) and wanted to know what happened to Chris Calandro at 99x. The best part is a post from Radio-info veteran Neil Millman that might qualify for the longest in history. He actually states "While Chrissie and I have had our moments, I hope "Radioboy" lands on his feet." Perhaps alluding to his at the time recent Staph infection. Neil then goes on with a complete breakdown on everything you ever want to know about staph infection. It is quite informative.

The whole thread ends with my alter ego RTibbs02(add those 159 post to my surrent total and I am pushing Roddy for number of posts.) wondering if "Hey the Regular Guys are looking for a sidekick. Maybe Calandro can apply there. Who does Larry despise more Radio boy or South Side Sissy?"

This thread has been presented by Lennox Financial who urges you to call today because now is the time to move out of that 30 yr. fixed mortgage and into an Adjustable Rate Mortgage because rtes have never been this low. And if rates drop any lower we will simply re-finance your mortgage again.
 
This is certainly the most diabolical...posted on the day that the gentleman in question was fired, er, furloughed.

The only mutual thing about this decision was the fact that barnes didn't physically hurt anyone or smash anything when told of Dave's decision and was asked to leave. His contract is to be paid out, but make no mistake about it, it was not his choice to leave and nor did he want to leave. Unfortunately for barnes, he IS NOT well liked WITHIN the industry, nor OUTSIDE of it... so it is with bizarre pleasure I tell you that he cried when told of Dave's lack of needing him. Low of me you say? How could I write such a thing? Well, one; it's true, and two; barnes is the type of person, even when down, will be back-stabbing and name-calling. Arrogance is a clumsy virtue, and is never good regardless of whether you're the CEO of a top company, or the guy flippin' burgers... barnes seems to think its a winning virtue. Its not, and it's about time it caught up with him. I realize he has a few friends, and that's fine... but the folks he's spoken badly of when there's no need, and the folks he's not regarded when he should have, far out way his friends. The common factor in all those relationships is him. I know he's reading this, as pretty much all former and current radio employees do. steve... I seriously think, if you would have been more of a team player, and tried to be humble every now and again, you'd have more pals... and you wouldn't have someone like me telling everyone that you cried and were seriously upset when you were told Dave didn't need you. It would really take you being a total ------ in order for someone to say those things, don't you think? You have been, and I am.

Oh, and this particular 'mutual' departing may not completely or at all have much to do with his arrogance, but I can tell you his failure to get his contract renewed at X is. So indirectly, he wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for his attitude toward work and people.

barnes is the type of guy who has it written in his contracts that you can't say he 'got fired' or they 'didn't want to renew his contract' [or call him 'captain back acne (good goin' Fred)].. make no mistake... X didn't want to renew his contract [even though at the time, he had many months left when told] [oh, and him leaving to do 'movies' was horse-sh*t... you think him or anyone would leave a high paying job, to go into an industry where the failure rate is the one of the highest in any industry?], and Dave wanted him gone, needed him off the air, required him off the air, didn't see a need for him, came to a mutual decision, or let him go... however you want to slice it, he didn't walk in and say 'I don't think there's a need for me'... lets not call it fired, because that's not pc, right? lets make up a new word... BARNESED... pronounced, "barr-nsd." He has fallen victim to his own arrogance.

Bathe in it steve. You deserve it. You're an a**hole, and that's a real shame, because I think and know you have it in you to be humble, you just seem to think you have to be the way you are.

I wouldn't say I know barnes well, I don't.. but I've seen one or two occasions when he was a normal human being. Seriously, I have. But he thinks he needs to a consistent ------... a real shame. Well done steve, it caught up with you.

N

PS. You might notice his name is never once capitalized... that's not a mistake. With the exception of the new verb we came up with.

PSS. and the 'movie thing' his got going is horse sh*t... he's not making money, it doesn't work like that. you have to sell more DVDs than in just one town like Atlanta.. He was on local radio folks, people just below Macon have no idea who barnes, or any of you are.
 
Was there any doubt one of my posts would be listed as a Great Post in Radio-Info Atlanta Board History? Tibbsie I am humbled and honored. Though to be perfectly honest I thought announcing my candidacy for PD of 929 was my finest hour. Followed by my nicknaming Vicki as “Clotty.”

BTW, how come no one has called her that on the air? I guess no one wants a free dinner at Longhorn.

Kevin here. Well I really called that wrong. Not the first time I've been wrong. Won't be the last. But I'm honored to be the kick off schmuck mentioned in this post. Which is a wonderful post by the way. (Golf Clap for Tibbs!) And i can also say that I'm happy that I was wrong. Southside Steve is back where he belongs. And I think TRG is better off for it. At the time I wouldn't have believed that he'd go back. I forgot that theres always two sides to the story. Where as I still believe that the TRG would benefit from my talents. Alas, we'll never know.

Never was trying to be a fortune teller Tibbs. I have no need to try, and predict the future when I have Neil Millman/Mike Wheeler/Larry Wachs around to tell me everything I'll ever need to know! *Wink*! ;)
