According to Matthes on this weeks Pulp show people have been blowing up Fro's DM's and generally being knuckleheads about him online. Acting like he was at fault for GL not being on the air.

If you are doing this stop, you're an idiot. GL is great to listen to and the sport is definitely better with him in it but that has nothing to do with Fro.

People are idiots.

In one podcast Weege even explained that Fro might not even be vaccinated but he could work the event due to not being exposed to the sick crew member the week before.

I’m so sick of both sides of the political spectrum, anyone fervently onboard with either side should be embarrassed of themselves.

Fro is the man.

Anyone who takes GL’s situation out on him can eat a bag of sugar coated dicks.

Agreed.

GL doesn’t even have a situation. He just disagreed with his employer and quit. There is no harm or foul on either side.

I was very surprised at how well Fro did, I have been critical of him in the past, but he was fun to listen to, making bets with wedge etc.. looking forward to more of it!

Both are freaking legends and the more we hear of both the better.

I do hope we get more GL on Whiskey Throttle now. A loose GL is a good GL.

I was at the race and just started watching the broadcast this morning on the elliptical. I thought GL did a great job, but I think Jeff stepped in and took the reins without missing a beat. No complaints here. I hope Fro sticks around. He did a great job last weekend with very little time to prep. I’m sure he will get even better in the future with time to prepare.

So a guy quits and people give grief to his replacement for being his replacement? Wtf…what was Emig supposed to do, refuse the job? Go on strike?

Good grief, people are stupid these days.

"generally being knuckleheads about him online..."

Great thing about the web is that everyone has a voice. The worst thing about the web is that everyone has a voice.

Hopefully, as this web world continues, the collective consciousness rises to the point where certain activity is seen as the equivalent of graffiti on the bathroom wall. Hopefully.

Word is Grant was done after this year anyhow. Just used this situation to get himself more attention, like WT when he makes all the interviews about himself. Shame people take it out on the new guy.

Thats the social media life and Fro knows the game well, he ll be fine. Everybody has a voice now, and it’s to easy be a disrespectful asshole behind a screen, without any consequences.

Both Fro and GL are great guys. It takes a special kind of stupid to give Fro crap about accepting a job offer.

And we are sick of centrists thinking that’s some moral high ground. Goes both ways.

i think its more that a replacement was done without involving or talking to the one being replaced. Smile

I just want to point out and give you props for the proper usage of the word, "reins." Most people use the wrong word there. Kudos.

For those who don't know, here's a little "Grammar with Falcon" interjection: "Reins" are the leather straps which connect to the bit in a horse's mouth. They are used for steering and/or controlling the horse while you are riding it. "Take the reins" means to take control (same as "take the wheel" in a car or "take the helm" on a boat.)

OK, sorry to hijack the thread. Carry on!

Why would they ask GL anything on his replacement ? He quit, he has no say on who they hire.

GL was told take a week off and then come back with a negative test. He got mad and quit via social media, then started blasting NBC via sharing posts from others. In what world would an employer be like, I better get his opinion on who should replace him... Most would make sure he never works for them or their partners ever again...

imagine its thursday and your flying out to work. they call and say "hey don't both coming this weekend, we think you were exposed. oh btw we got you replaced by your buddy jeff so don't sweat it.

but yet you never put yourself in a position to be exposed and no one bothered to ask you if you were exposed to someone specific? and they mention in there "since your not vaccinated"....

he replied with i quit then.

and now back to original post title. people are stupid and will make jeff out to be bad guy because they are fans of GL.


is that really that hard to understand? next time i'll make a paragraph out explaining it all since most can't understand a simple concept.

It's not a moral high ground, I think of it more like using that old thing called common sense. You know....thinking for yourself..... remember what that's like?

If you wanna just blindly and ignorantly follow your chosen "team", fly right at it bud. It's a free country after all.

Snowflakes abound on both teams, hilarious.

GL's update is on Insta. Well communicated reasoning and very neutral on the subject of vaccines.
I hope he finds other avenues in addition to Whiskey Throttle to give input on the sport that we love.

spreading the disproven theory that vaccines cause autism isn't well reasoned or neutral.

Seems like these guys are easy targets for the anti-vaxxers and flat earth crowd..
Maybe its all the hits on the noggin, their brains are a bowl of mash potatoes.. pretty sad.

sorry, but it had to be said...

That def changes the whole dynamic of the situation. I wasn't aware of that. I wasn't on either side of this whole thing but that's an interesting variable to take into account

Just curious how you have the real story? Not saying if it true or not but where did you get your information?

There are a lot of people out there that were on the brink before covid, then lost it when the worldwide pandemic got going.... and the longer it has gone, the more they are losing touch with reality.... case in point- anti vaxxers losing it on Fro... Fro is just earning a paycheck, the same paycheck that GL did not want to take.... it is that simple...

its summary of how he explained it...to clear it up because many were running an alternative narrative....much like some in this thread believe.
