spud

[Philly Mike]

The fact that people are on here bitching about Spud in this manner proves that he is doing exactly what he is getting paid for.

Not really. I make it a point to change the channel when he starts babbling with his over-the-top, super Republican gimmick. At least as far as I'm concerned he's NOT doing his job because his talking makes me stop listening.

You're correct that he's supposed to generate buzz. That's the old "there's no such thing as bad press" theory. And maybe in general he is pulling in listeners (he wouldn't still have a job if he didn't.)

But us complaining about him here doesn't prove that he is or is not doing his job. I know enough about him just from commercials to know that I don't want to hear his regular show. So in my case at least he's failing.

I can relate to this exception to the rule too, I know I am not from GR or anything but I can get the station on my phone and listen every once in a while after FB&HW goes off I also listen on my PC. but just hearing spud in the commercials pisses me off let alone trying to listen to his dribble for 5 minutes. I have tried and would rather listen to the Danny Bonaduce show that is sadly aired here in philly. I can understand the whole idea of the effect that people want to listen because they hate him, it is a tactic used in a lot of places, bill oriley, savage nation, and so on. However I think that the people may be getting tired of this because it is now getting over used.

lol I did however like the comment from the new DJ "if you don't like hockey either bite me, or gulp it" or something like that, it was cracking me up, my wife thought I was going crazy because she thought I was talking on my phone and not listening to the radio when she seen me wearing my headphones.
