For the GRD listeners, everyone knows how FB&HW hates Spud and his right wing douchebaggery. When what he's saying isn't flat out wrong, he doesn't really acknowledge the other side's arguments, and has hung up on me when I proved him wrong.
Today during the Spud commercial where he talks about surrender monkeys while Buffalo Springfield plays in the background (antiwar song.. good choice Spud), the soundclip of a guy saying 'Shut the eff up. Just shut. The eff. Up.' played over the commercial.
At first I thought it was a mistake, but realized that there was no way that was a mistake. I'm glad the Spud hatred isn't just with listeners who have to turn the channel every time music stops for fear of hearing more bullshit spew out of your speakers.
Way to go FB, HW, Zane, Joe or whoever played that soundbyte during Spud's commercial.

Not to get too political, but I sitll don't get how being "pro-war" became a "right-wing/conservative" position.

They don't hate Spud. Eric was just being Eric when he played the sound bite, just like when he played the "You have AIDS" song during the AIDS PSA a while back.

For the record. We do not hate Spud at all. On the contrary... we think he's terrific. bellybittenlunt is correct.
If we hated him, we wouldn't poke fun.
Again, The FBHW Show has no axe to grind with Spud or any GRD airstaff. Dig it.

WOW, managed to bring the armenian out of hiding.
as far as Spud goes, the whole thing was funny, I think Spud acts the way he does on air because it gets attention, I don't think anyone can be that extreme. Even if he is I am sure he at least uses his manners and keeps the political talk on the radio and that's all, because if he didn't I am sure not many people would get along with him.
As far as the guys on the show go with the hating other radio personalities, as they said they get along with most people in radio. Listening to them you can hear them talk about the ones they don't like.

Again, The FBHW Show has no axe to grind with Spud or any GRD airstaff. Dig it. Eric Hate him personally, of course not. All I'm saying is that everyone gets thrown under the bus for some reason or another by FBHW, and I'm just happy that someone gives some of Spud's crap back to him on air. I mean, I love when they tease JT because everyone knows it's all in fun, and he doesn't really deserve it. I know Spud acts so extreme to get ratings, but FBHW is the closest thing there is to an opposing opinion on air, and it's good to hear someone give it to him once in awhile. |

I thought the same thing about Spud's choice of background music. Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" a total anti-war song.
Way to think that one through, Spud!

I think it's the best when they play sound bites over commercials. I laugh my balls off.

He refuses to ready my entire emails online rebutting his BS. Typically, I turn the radio to KLQ by noon anway. I've always been a big Michael Grey fan.

I agree with spuc about 99% of the time, and love his show. On the other hand I think Michael Grey is a douchebag 99% of the time and can't stand him.

For all you hippie d-bags, if you dont like spud, then dont listen to him. I for one think he is awesome, because he has the balls to say what most of us are thinking. Its nice to hear someone on the right side talk on the radio. I am so sick of the radio, tv and celebrities spewing their left wing agenda all over the place.

We don't listen to Spud, because he does suck. If I wanted to hear some right wing moron yelling about moronic right wing nonsense, I'd listen to Bill O'Reilly. So instead of listening to Spud, I listen to NPR and get educated on the issues. |

They try to make it sound like they're the ones being persecuted and left all alone in a Left Wing dominated industry. This guy unfortunately believes them. |

I already posted about this.
And the sound clip in the commerical was AWESOME.
Yes, I hate the douchebag Spud too. I am glad he finally deleted me off his myspace.

Give the kid a break - he has been at the station a long time - worked hard - and now has the balls to speak his mind - both him and JT should be given some credit for allowing a show that is more than just time, temp and song intro into or out of each break.

Yeah, I think Spud is definitely right MOST of the time. I may not always see eye to eye with him politically, but a lot of what he has to say really should just be common sense but a lot of people are really stupid.

No joking. I have a unique perspective. But this is not the thread to discuss this on. The mods are going to send it over to the politics area. Maybe we can have the discussion over there.
Peace.

For the record, as Eric said, we like Spud. And even I'm about 50/50 on his opinions, I think he's a talented host and has a bright future. If this weren't true, I'd simply remain silent.
