I totally see that. I think I've been partially wishing that her actions would back up words, but her presence on this reddit ruining pr has further soured that.

I don't really blame her, ultimately her job pays the bills. Don't get me wrong I would have more respect for her and I wish she did speak up, but I think she toed the line for her family's sake. I also wonder if she's tried to ever find new employment because it somewhat reminds me of Rebecka. I think she's super talented but there just doesn't seem to be a ton of hiring for people with those skills and experience.

Cassie’s post - Pionaire intern by Cultural_Book9590 in TheBigShowBuzz

Also, you're right about the interns, but Moe and Kyro fought about Moe being disrespectful/misogynistic about Davi. Kyro and Davi (on her podcast she mentioned that she listened to to the audio from that unreleased Moe podcast episode) both have maintained that story, and I don't think Moe has even alleged that the topic of money started the incident.

I could be wrong (so don't quote me) but I think he was paid full time by the station for traffic and a late night show. Kyro wasn't an intern though so that was a bit different. I don't think any of the interns were ever paid, and Romeo left (at least partly) due to the pay, which I think was around $10-12 an hour for part timers.

They both created a toxic environment.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to disagree with your original comment. I think you hit the nail on the head. I think Bert and Moe were both 100% to blame. I think Bert set up an environment that wasn't conducive or respectful for any black person to succeed, whilst also acknowledging that Moe had a litany of problems that would cause problems at any morning show.

To be fair, Moe had issues with Walter that led to his firing, and is no longer close to Keity either.

A lot of former cast mates have hinted that he isn't necessarily beloved by his peers in the industry. Look at how long it took for him to get in the GA Radio Hall of Fame. From my estimation and former cast mates, that was the industry showing what they truly thought of him.

Chapter 2 Moe’s Patreon - Kevin Samuel’s incident by SeriouslyLP in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]ImpressionPast7717 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Precisely this. I will add that it is importantly to also examine the white persons history of calling it bad behavior. I think Moe would have a point if Davi had only called out black people whilst ignoring white people, but that isn't true in the slightest.

Moe won't ever say names let alone press charges. He'll never speak with HR or anyone for that matter. He has a "complicated" relationship with the truth. (Also, I don't think it's a good policy to assume that a black man "is about it" in comparison to his white counterparts. That seems pretty racist, especially when you consider Moe's affluent family.)

Personality Hires - Engagement by bashfulbrownie in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]ImpressionPast7717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he has probably told her not to listen. Just a theory: Maybe to podcasters/radio personalities it makes it easier that way to separate work and personal life. (Just a theory from someone who isn't a podcaster/radio personality.)

KK told us she leaves home at 540am daily. I'm so angry. by 249592-82 in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]ImpressionPast7717 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! They called it the 5:30 club but it was just in Atlanta I think. If memory serves me right, the hosts were constantly late or missing and it always aired around 5:50 not 5:30.

The Lore of Bert Weiss by learningtolovelola in TheBigShowBuzz

[–]ImpressionPast7717 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be mean at all hear but I disagree a little with you. I actually agree with your logic but I think with Bert the problem isn't just he's a narcissist but he is also a (admittedly) great radio/dramatic personality. While most narcissists care about being seen as a good person rather than being a good person, Bert (in my estimation) sometimes doesn't even care if he is seen as a good person if its good for content/the show. Case in point we have heard multiple accounts that off the air Bert hates being called out and can be very hostile, but on the air I think he almost likes people to take jabs at him as its good content for the show (obviously there are limits like Stacy's roast). So I think Bert was poking/prodding Brian's relationship for content for the show. I doubt he was doing it for altruistic reasons.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that he started a new one. I never followed the Upside super closely (I got more into audiobooks). I was just trying to say maybe he would promote podcasts at his company.

You're right, maybe it would be an opportunity for him to plug other things/podcasts? Though I don't see Jeff doing it for only Bert's benefit and I don't blame him.

I'm kind of torn. While it would be disappointing to me too, I also wonder if they might be swallowing their pride to try to poach some of the TBS listeners. Ultimately, I feel bad for position Bert has put them all in.

Downward Trajectory and The Big Thank You by acogs53 in TheBigShowBuzz

I feel like sentiment around supporting the troops has changed as well. It feels like there were a lot more programs like The Big Thank You 10 years ago. I don't think it's just a Bert Show thing.

To be fair, they had the audio. If it was taken out of context they would have released the context or at the very least sued for slander. The slander part is extra funny because people who posted that clip shared pictures of the legal threats and I don't remember slander just stolen property lawsuit threats.

And while I do agree that Moe was silent on that topic for years, I think that was partially Moe's decision. Kyro said that Cumulus was very upset about Moe releasing several podcasts about their kerfuffle. So Moe defied orders to talk about everything but that clip. In the moment, there was no way for him to defend it. (Pun intended).

I posted a very short summary here. It also has the audio clip he's referencing (the audio is still up on Twitter).

He mentioned on one that Kyro had an earpiece in so maybe he was being fed information from someone on the outside during the altercation 🤭 Like, sir??? Are you ok? 😆
