He is even worse in person. And insists you call him Vermin.Vermin Supreme is doing a VERY bad Weird Al impersonation. He was intolerable.

I fastforwarded through most of this segment but Rich's story about how he got into the screener was pretty good.Looks like I won't be listening to the show until next week.

Just saw The Force Awakens. Not allowed to say anything until tomorrow and it's killing me.
Having T&R on this morning, the same Unos commercial came on, but the guy has a new voice. It's not great but it's better. Maybe they finally got enough negative feedback?The uno commercial makes watching the simulcast almost impossible. Rare that an ad would cause me to not want to go to a place....
I saw that during the football games yesterday too. The dubbed over voice may be "better", but they really should just scrap the commercial all together. The actor who played the "Italian" must be on suicide watch right now.Having T&R on this morning, the same Unos commercial came on, but the guy has a new voice. It's not great but it's better.

Fred was playing Mr. Contrarian about everything today. He would rather play the Steelers than the Chiefs. Who cares about the Manning HGH story v. Deflategate coverage etc. His annual "traveling SUCKS" rant made me laugh though.Yeah it was really bad and made Boomer sound really really ignorant. I'm: a. disappointed someone (most likely Fred) didn't challenge him on his statements; and b. honestly a little surprised they even aired that part of the interview.
I was waiting for someone to utter those words, I'm kind of surprised Boomer did. I figured Mike Ditka would have.Yikes. Did anyone hear the Boomer interview this morning? He blew off the Manning HGH report because Al-Jazeera is just some "middle eastern company" that has been around misreporting things for years and slinging things out there and it's a shame they are allowed to, etc. Just a disgruntled employee and bitter reporter is all it is. I'm looking for a transcript...
I didn't hear the show but if you travel on Spirit you have to expect a nightmare they make United and American look competent and friendly.His travel story today was pretty damn funny. He was going after Spirit on Twitter, which only pissed him off more since they don't have a social media team and it's just an automated response.
THERES AN UNATTENDED BAG IN THE AIRPORT AND NO ONE EVEN CARES???
Adolfo sucks. I really hope this is the last straw with him.I love this show but if Adolfo was never heard from or spoken of again I would be happy. I just don't care. Also don't care about Fred sounding like he should be working across the street ranting against kids these days and "Generation Wuss"
I missed it. What happened? Screw up a guest?Adolfo sucks. I really hope this is the last straw with him.
A guest's call dropped and they jokingly said Adolfo had dropped the call and he got really defensive, Fred said he had turned into a stereotypical millennial and said he was a member of "generation wuss" and Adolfo flipped out and asked Fred if he wanted to step outside and settle their issues. It didn't sound like a joke at all and Rich immediately stopped the bit and asked if he was really seriously threatening a co-worker on the air. They came back and aired all of their grievances with each other and Fred/Rich both sound really exasperated with Adolfo and his attitude. Rich said he's been one of his best friends for 10 years and that something has changed with him. Really didn't sound like a work at all. Rich asked him several times if he still had any interest in working for the show.I missed it. What happened? Screw up a guest?
As someone who basically never listens and was tuning in for the Brinson interview this Adolfo discussion/greivance was torturous and just plain awful radio.A guest's call dropped and they jokingly said Adolfo had dropped the call and he got really defensive, Fred said he had turned into a stereotypical millennial and said he was a member of "generation wuss" and Adolfo flipped out and asked Fred if he wanted to step outside and settle their issues.

Yeah, Fred started comparing it to similar Howard Stern moments like when AJ Benza got fired for hitting Stuttering John. I just started shaking my head at that point.As someone who basically never listens and was tuning in for the Brinson interview this Adolfo discussion/greivance was torturous and just plain awful radio.
Does anyone know what the Bill Simmons thing they were talking during this is?A guest's call dropped and they jokingly said Adolfo had dropped the call and he got really defensive, Fred said he had turned into a stereotypical millennial and said he was a member of "generation wuss" and Adolfo flipped out and asked Fred if he wanted to step outside and settle their issues.

I think it was something along the lines of this: T and R gave Simmons the hotline number so he could call in whenever he wanted. He called in randomly one morning and somehow got hung up on and the guys were pissed. I don't think it was all Adolpho's fault because at one point they were putting some of the blame on Dan, the producer of the show.Does anyone know what the Bill Simmons thing they were talking during this is?
He didn't get hung up on, Adolpho didn't let him on the air because they were in the middle of an interview. They were pissed once they found out Simmons had been on the phone and they weren't told about it.I think it was something along the lines of this: T and R gave Simmons the hotline number so he could call in whenever he wanted.

My mistake...that is actually worse. Do you remember who the interview was with?He didn't get hung up on, Adolpho didn't let him on the air because they were in the middle of an interview. They were pissed once they found out Simmons had been on the phone and they weren't told about it.
No, they were talking about John Scott/Dennis Wideman/NHL conspiracy stuff.I missed it...earlier this morning they were semi-arguing about Fred "knowing" Rich's twittering habit while Rich was at home. Rich got real defensive...was it about that?
I think they must have had a talking to by management that they can't make fun of him anymore on air. There was the Taco Bell joke that couldn't be made last week that would probably have been about him. Then today Zolak was in and started making fun of him and there was a pause and Fred said something like "you can go down that road yourself" and changed the subject.I just talked to Adolpho when trying to win the Bill Burr tickets, so he's still around.
Sounds like he may have complained about bullying and workplace harrassment. Just a guess, no knowledge of the situation.I think they must have had a talking to by management that they can't make fun of him anymore on air.

It probably sucks for them because half the reason he's on the show is to be a punchline (The other half being that he is legitimately good at getting street audio. It's the only time I can tolerate him). It doesn't seem like he's good in the day to day running of the show but I'm glad because the less Adolpho on air the better
