The Phone Call

P

PeterB

Anncr: Spoogie, call on line three

Spoogie: I'm busy, who is it?

Anncr: It's Ed. He said to get off the damn porn sites and pick up the phone.

Spoogie: Yes old grand wizard of radio knowledge and superiority!

Ed: Get your head out of my a** Spoogie, we continue to have major problems here.

Spoogie: Problems? What problems oh mighty one?

Ed: In case you haven't noticed, the company stock is at historical lows, Goldstein has just dumped over half the stock he owned, I've lost ten million on paper, your market is down over 30% this year, I just told the whole world we're attempting the "stabilize" the situation in Portland on the investor conference call and I had one idiot ask me why don't we just sell all the stations in the market we're doing so bad!!! I need to know, is it fixed?

Spoogie: Absolutely old great one!

Ed: Why's that?

Spoogie: Three person morning shows! We have more of them than anyone!

Ed: Huh? Are you out of your fricken mind??

Spoogie: No sir, old wise and noble leader. Three person morning shows are the answer to all of our problems.

Ed: Then why did my Tarot Card reader warn me to "watch out for a wolf"

Spoogie: NO WAY. We're an institution. We have heritage. We're so damn arrogant it's scary. After all, you can't smell Portland without P O R.

Ed: Isn't that supposed to be spell Portland, Spoogie, or is it the smell of what you've been feeding me for the last year?

Spoogie: No sir, it's all just a statistical abberation, really. A dream. Kind of like the last episode of St. Elsewhere, remember that??? Trust me. We're right back to where we were. It's all good. Three person morning shows, that's the answer.

Ed: Can you SMELL Greenfield, Spoogie?

Awesome!!1 Who's Greenfield?
 
Once again, not me posting. I only wish I had a reason to be at the radio station in the morning.

If your ideas are better-then implement them at your station-win in the ratings and enjoy knowing you're good at your job. I, for one, like anything that keeps another jock employed. In today's shrinking job market-if they want to hire three morning jocks, let 'em hire three morning jocks. Hell, hire 12 as long as we get benefits and a regular paycheck.

And remember what your mama told you-action speaks louder than words-especially if you're in the PD chair.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by sleepingtree on 12/02/05 10:41 PM.</FONT></P>

THE LINE USED TO BE: "YOU CAN'T SPELL POR(K) WITHOUT P O R"

(sarcasm) Wouldn't the more appropriate question be where's Greenfield? Greenfield is quite a bit like Brattleboro, just a bit closer to the equator. They both smell pretty much the same to me. (/sarcasm)
