Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I was it's the Donkey Wow Donke here today for Thursday,
- 0:21Speaker 1: September twenty second goes to Vic FoST, who is a
- 0:24Speaker 1: Fox Tool News anchor in Saint Louis, Missouri. Now, as
- 0:26Speaker 1: you know, I am a media guy radio TV. I
- 0:30Speaker 1: love this culture and business and media which is now
- 0:32Speaker 1: evolved into the culture and business of just all media
- 0:36Speaker 1: period radio, podcasts, you know, audio scripted TV films, documentaries.
- 0:40Speaker 1: If it's about media, I want in. But all of
- 0:43Speaker 1: these things, at least for me, don't happen without radio.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Dropping a clues box for radio. Okay, radio is the
- 0:48Speaker 1: mother ship, always has been, always will be, in a
- 0:51Speaker 1: blessing to do what it is that we do. But
- 0:54Speaker 1: with any business where humans are involved, everything from ego,
- 0:58Speaker 1: you know, jealousy, ving just down right to stain will
- 1:02Speaker 1: come into play. But I often feel like media folks
- 1:04Speaker 1: forget that this is still a business, a corporate business
- 1:07Speaker 1: at that. So even though it's loose and we come
- 1:10Speaker 1: as we are in regards to tire, and you know,
- 1:12Speaker 1: some of us, like myself, didn't need any formal education
- 1:15Speaker 1: to get into the business, we tend once again to
- 1:17Speaker 1: forget that it is indeed a business in some things.
- 1:21Speaker 1: This aren't gonna fly in a corporate work environment, which
- 1:24Speaker 1: brings me to Vick Voss. Okay, he was on a
- 1:27Speaker 1: commercial break on September thirteenth on KF and S, a
- 1:30Speaker 1: hard rock station, and he got into it with his
- 1:32Speaker 1: co host Crystal Cooper. What did they get into it about? Well, apparently,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and this is according to The New York Post. Apparently
- 1:39Speaker 1: and allegedly this stem from his co host Crystal Cooper
- 1:43Speaker 1: poking fun at Vic FoST over his problems with his
- 1:47Speaker 1: computer while a pair or on air? Can we hear
- 1:50Speaker 1: what happened on air yesterday? On air? So that said
- 1:55Speaker 1: you and your friends were stupid for saying stupid things.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Didn't say anything stupid, it was stupid and you were lying,
- 2:02Speaker 1: and you were lying anyway, so you brought it back up,
- 2:05Speaker 1: and we're all dumber for you bringing up a dumb
- 2:07Speaker 1: toop of that nothing to do. What are you talking
- 2:09Speaker 1: about there? For you? Yesterday he was talking about his
- 2:12Speaker 1: computer again, yes, because it was down, and then he
- 2:17Speaker 1: called Sid No, it's because you had said what you
- 2:22Speaker 1: said first. Now you know you're not supposed to bring
- 2:24Speaker 1: up this stuff. I didn't bring Yeah, No, because you
- 2:30Speaker 1: should have brought up something was ridiculous in the first
- 2:32Speaker 1: place because you lied, because you lie. Let's go to break.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Let's go to break now. That was on air when
- 2:40Speaker 1: they went to commercial, Big said what he really wanted
- 2:43Speaker 1: to say, and the audio was leaked to the Saint
- 2:45Speaker 1: Louis Post Dispatch, which ultimately made to the made it
- 2:48Speaker 1: to the New York Post and uh, now we have
- 2:50Speaker 1: it here. Would you like to hear it? Here it
- 2:51Speaker 1: goes and bring up on air when I funt that
- 3:02Speaker 1: if you're like that guy, come on, man serious, I
- 3:06Speaker 1: let it go yesterday. But you call me stupid for
- 3:09Speaker 1: the second the stupid subject. You're taking fun of me
- 3:14Speaker 1: because I was dealing with the computer Chrismas too. It
- 3:16Speaker 1: wasn't just me Christmas. Yes, he said, we're gonna say
- 3:19Speaker 1: in three weeks. He didn't say anything on air. Yes
- 3:22Speaker 1: he did go back and listen. He was laughing when
- 3:24Speaker 1: I did attacking on Do you have a history of
- 3:27Speaker 1: attacking me on air? Are you kidding? You? And your
- 3:31Speaker 1: looking at don't come back really start You're not my boss.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Come and I'll call you a every day okay, good
- 3:41Speaker 1: fat self righteous every day? Did you come in this studio?
- 3:46Speaker 1: I will call you what you are. I'm not the
- 3:50Speaker 1: high grade of weed in the dispension, but I think
- 3:52Speaker 1: I think Vic thinks Crystal is fat. That's what I
- 3:55Speaker 1: gathered from that. But let me tell you something. Everybody
- 3:57Speaker 1: at the Breakfast Club has arguing with each other at
- 4:00Speaker 1: some point on air. Behind the scenes. Has happened, but
- 4:03Speaker 1: I it's always respectful. And you know you've been listening
- 4:07Speaker 1: to us enough over the past almost thirteen years to
- 4:09Speaker 1: hear how we poke fun at each other on air.
- 4:13Speaker 1: So if Vic FoST did that because he felt she
- 4:16Speaker 1: was poking funded his computer on air, trust me when
- 4:18Speaker 1: I tell you that's bs all right. He's been pissed
- 4:22Speaker 1: at that woman about something else for a while, clearly,
- 4:25Speaker 1: and never got it off his chest. That's what happens
- 4:28Speaker 1: when you don't communicate with a person. That's why this
- 4:31Speaker 1: is a teachable moment. It doesn't matter if it's a
- 4:32Speaker 1: co worker, a friend, husband, wife, significant other. If you
- 4:37Speaker 1: have something to say to a person, say it, sit down,
- 4:40Speaker 1: communicate because what happens is folks don't communicate and all
- 4:43Speaker 1: that animosity builds up and then boom, this happens. See
- 4:47Speaker 1: when you're let off a scring and insults like Vic did.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Just now, you're not freestyling, okay, you're getting your Sean
- 4:53Speaker 1: Carter on. You already wrote this in your head and
- 4:55Speaker 1: recited these lyrics to yourself a million times. And now
- 4:58Speaker 1: when it's time to get in the booth where we
- 5:00Speaker 1: got good dad, you're snapping. And now this guy is
- 5:05Speaker 1: probably gonna lose his job because he couldn't control his emotions.
- 5:08Speaker 1: And ironically, that's what they always say about women, right,
- 5:10Speaker 1: women are so emotional when the reality is humans are emotional,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and some humans, because of sheer will, are a lot
- 5:18Speaker 1: of therapy, know how to control their emotions better than others. Now,
- 5:21Speaker 1: Vick has been with the station for seven years, but
- 5:23Speaker 1: right now it appears his duties at the TV station
- 5:26Speaker 1: are on hold, while the leaders at the TV station
- 5:28Speaker 1: he works for have not commented on his job status.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen to the guy, but
- 5:33Speaker 1: once again, it didn't have to happen. You have a
- 5:35Speaker 1: problem with a person, call a meeting, okay. Make sure
- 5:38Speaker 1: witness is a present so it's not your word versus
- 5:40Speaker 1: their words. Set it up like group therapy, okay. And
- 5:43Speaker 1: what you don't like about the person or whatever has
- 5:45Speaker 1: you upset, Just express it, keet it out, because when
- 5:48Speaker 1: something small like a person messing with you about your
- 5:51Speaker 1: computer on air, causes all of that. Trust me, it
- 5:54Speaker 1: wasn't about the computer. It's something else going on entirely.
- 5:57Speaker 1: And there's more proof that lack of communication can ruin
- 6:00Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff. Okay, communication is the best
- 6:03Speaker 1: route to solving all types of problems. The key the
- 6:07Speaker 1: healthy problem solving is good communication. Please don't learn this
- 6:11Speaker 1: the hard way like Vic did. Please let me remark,
- 6:14Speaker 1: give Vic Foster the biggest he hall he ha he ha.
- 6:17Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb? Don't you dare? Don't
- 6:24Speaker 1: you even clear? I don't even know why you clearing
- 6:25Speaker 1: your throat? Ah? Okay, all right, well thank you for

- 6:50Speaker 1: the same, okay, titties, And don't forget the humpback, humpback
- 6:54Speaker 1: as well. I forgot that. But that's me, that's me
- 6:57Speaker 1: getting it out. That's the community communication. I kid it out. Okay,
