Incidents like the transmitter not working because someone didn't refuel it, all the way down to producer's microphones sounding like they were originating from the great beyond. Would you mind creating a thread for this purpose? I think it would eventually prove to be quite useful.aphttp://www.theunticket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-52504966281328289372012-05-30T23:08:09.688-05:002012-05-30T23:08:09.688-05:00I think it's pretty clear by now: CTO have sai...I think it's pretty clear by now: CTO have said "knock it off, or else" (i.e., Yoooaah Fyuuuud - Trump style).

To add on to anon's points, I also think you have many of these second tier personalities and side men getting way too much air time, thus getting way too big for their britches, and therefore believing they have cache that they decidedly do not have. It sure is getting nasty up there. Something's going to give. It's either going to be the CTO getting their collective S*** together in a hurry, or someone(s) is (are) going to be fired or leave on their own accord.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-6837048222212917282012-05-30T16:40:54.419-05:002012-05-30T16:40:54.419-05:00A lot of truth there.

This is a dangerous game to play. Because while they might garner the short term atta boy from their heroes (which includes Grubes, by taking his Tweeting lead), in the not so long run they might be setting back their careers in this business, if not severely hampering or killing them. The hosts can (well most can anyway-can a Donnie or even Dan?)get away with such outbursts with a "talking to" or some other disciplinarian action. The rest of the guys cannot, at least not for long. We're perhaps seeing that with Jake. And I'll bet more actions from the CTOs come down with every Tweet or comment from here on out. Once one person is disciplined, it only gets more severe and frequent from that point in time. <br /><br />Yes the 'atta boys' are great right now, but if those actions utlimately lead to firings and/or black balling/being deemed a problem/unhireable in the business, are they worth it? Because no matter how much of a bunker mentality/solidarity you have with your heroes, you ain't one of them. In short: you get yourself fired, you'll find yourself forgotten sooner rather than later...and that's not a knock on your heroes, that's just human nature.
