Herbie will take the evangelical route....

"I was on the road to Bristol to persecute some Buckeye fans when Saint Woody suddenly appeared to me in a vision. He said: Son, you have been consorting with harlots and mockers. You have sold your soul to ESPN and your son to the Whore of Ann Arbor. You have blasphemed my team and angered the football gods. You must repent for your sins. Then he hit me over the head with a yard marker and I lost consciousness. When I awoke, I was a changed man – now I sing Carmen Ohio, I bleed scarlet and gray, and I am a TRUE BUCKEYE!!"

The lack of olentangy river baptism in this story is concerning.

Basically Ricordati was going off on how Herbie is two-faced, and gave a couple of stories, including one where somebody from out of town came on the fan to do a show with him, and had a 30 day clause for Herbie to cancel the show if he felt it wasn't working. He asked Herbie how he felt about the partnership, and Herbie said it was all good. Then canceled the show on the 30th day, after the person had signed a 1 year lease. There was a lot more, but that was the one story I heard.

So I only listened long enough to hear one story...I'll do my best to paraphrase.

When he was starting there, he got his own show with a co-host from out of town (they declined to mention the co-hosts name so he wouldn't get dragged into the current Herbie shitstorm), but made sure to include in the contract that he (Herbie) had the power to change co-hosts within the first month of the show. Essentially, Herbie had the power to fire this guy if he wanted to.

So the guy comes into town (presumably in a hotel?) for a couple weeks, doing his best, trying to make it work, while Herbie is apparently behind the scenes fishing for an upgrade the entire time. After a couple weeks, the guy goes to Herbie, asking him how he thinks things are going, etc etc. Herbie tells him "yeah man, things are going great!" so this guy decides to go ahead and sign a 1 year lease on an apartment.

Fast forward to the final day of the month, Herbie goes to the bosses and says "yeah, I don't like this guy, he's gotta go." And the guy got canned.

In summary: Herbie isn't just a douchebag. He's an absolute piece of shit.

lol yall remind me of a story I heard up at the Ruckmoor, some time in late 04, or 05 time range. Was there drinking with some buddies after work and there was this group of under 30s dudes there. I had just graduated not that long ago but we were talking and Herb came up and one of the guys launches into a story/diatribe about how herb was banging coeds when game day was at Nebraska and that he was a giant piece of shit. Didn’t buy it at the time, young and naive but a few years later I had no doubt that dude was speaking the truth.

I kinda wonder if the whole dog companion thing is a sex addict therapy thing .... as in, the dog is there so he's not enticed to keep running around on his wife....

I think it’s just standard deflection. Everyone loves a cute dog. Put that out in front and hide your increasingly superfluous and irritating personality behind it.
