Black Earl Is Mentally Unstable

[Gvac]

We've known for years that Earl was a bit odd in his manner and perceptions, but today's meltdown was proof that he's a pretty sick individual who should be getting some psychological help.

From his clutching of the bible the other day to his refusal and apparent fear of being hypnotized to his maniacal reaction to a little bit of pressure today just proves that Ron and Fez are sitting on a powder keg, and its name is Earl Douglas.

He's a decent guy who I believe truly tries to do his best, but he's living in some strange world of denial along with a crippling inability to cope with the stess of the workplace. One of these "blowups" is going to go too far one of these days.

I hope he gets the help he so desperately needs.

[Mr.Pants]

What's up with these Baptists?

[Dirtybird12]

<p>I can hear it now after the powder keg goes off:</p><p>&quot;he always dressed in black &quot; </p><p>&quot;he was always SO nice and calm&quot;</p><p>Earl seems like a really nice guy tho,. I missed todays show but will def catch the replay. </p><p>People make mistakes. </p><p>remember Earl.. when you do snap - Perry loves ya baby!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>For working in the radio business, Earl is actually the norm.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

He may be unstable; but dammit, it makes for great radio!<br />

[thedollabill]

<p>I gotta say the R&amp;F show wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for Earl. I love the musical discussions and he and Ron are always turning me on (eww) to artists that I <em>should </em>have been listening to in the first place. Today's show made <strong>great radio </strong>and I'll stick on Earl's side through this.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The real problem here is Wiki, not Earl. Don't let them fool you.&nbsp;</p>

[JPMNICK]

<p>Well I was one of the vocal people on this board who did not think earl should be brought to XM. at first, i thought i might be wrong, but he is slowly transforming into exactly what I thought he would be. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>he is HORRIBLE on the air. he is SO fucking uncomfortable and has zero presence. Now he may be amazing behind the scene's, more power to him if he is, but it does not seem that way. </p>

[Marc with a c]

<p>earl is 10x more stable then the late Al Dukes.</p><p>I like Earl ,but Dukes was so mentally challenged it was great.</p><p>he would also participate in the show and not run away, oh nevermind.</p>

[JPMNICK]

You miss the main point, Al dukes was awesome on the air, and earl sucks the energy out of a room

[Marc with a c]

<p>i understand that, but i dont think they are trying to make earl like al. al was such a clusterfuck on and off the air. despite grammygate earl apparently has been doing well.</p>

[Mike from Bklyn]

What about the whole I don't belive in <font size="-1">dinosaurs thing? I like Earl but he is fucking weird.<br /></font>

[Marc with a c]

i dont recall ever hearing earl say he didnt believe in them. i know ron was saying it. i was really hoping it was a joke.

[HBox]

I listened to R&amp;F before O&amp;A, and I must say, after listening to Earl on O&amp;A, it REALLY sounded like he was trying to create the impression that he was taking responsibility for Dave's fuck up, when it was Earl's fault. That's pretty low.<br />

<p><font size="3">Black Earl stinks.&nbsp; Everytime he talks on mike, he puts me to sleep.&nbsp; It's funny but I actually hate him because he's so boring.&nbsp; I really tried to like him but I just can't take him anymore.&nbsp; Wish that he would just produce and keep his dumb, boring and stupid mouth shuuuuut.&nbsp; God he stinks!!!!</font></p>

[SLCRagu]

<p>I just feel uncomftorable when Earl melts down or gets yelled at by
R&amp;F. It used to be hilarious when Dukes or Staples or Giant
Brian would fuck up but I think R&amp;F really like Earl and want him
to succeed and are genuinley dissapointed when he screws up and it
takes all the humor out of it.</p><p>I like Earl but he kills the flow

What I did love was how XM was not going to put up with Earl's breakdown bullshit. I love how he got yanked and was watched by Po to make sure he doesnt snap. I would love to just hear someones spinal column snapped on the air.

[FUNKMAN]

<p>i think Earl is okay. i don't believe he is there to be funny. he's dry and sensitive and that's pretty much it. he's become more of a whippin boy(no racial tone intended) since Harry and Billy aren't around...</p><p>everyone usually has a friend or co-worker just like e'm. if everything goes as expected they're fine but when some obstacle get's in their way and they have to do some maneuvering they get bent out of shape...</p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">quick q.</font></p><p>was it earl OR dave who flicked the channel over on the t.v or comp?...it sounded like earl was coverin somethin up from the start.</p>

[HBox]

It was Earl, and he only admitted it when Dave defended himself on air.<br />

[samnyc]

<p>Do you remember 6/24/2002 PM show?&nbsp; I recall Anthony and the boys discussing a recent Black Earl breakdown and him pitching the Black Rock coalition show for 2.5 years ...</p>

[DirtyJersey]

Does anyone remember when Earl had a show for a day on WNEW and the invisible man showed up. Thats why I love Earl, he tries really hard to cover up his mental problems but they still show up every once in a while, and when they do its golden.

Great radio is all that matters until Earl flips hid lid one day and goes on a rampage through the XM studios like a disenchanted postal employee.

The guy is teetering on the edge of being stark raving mad. I hope this "Master Po" character knows what he's doing.

[KitN1MCC]

<p>ear is a good man . and he runs the board and gets the job done</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>it is not like he is the first person to blow up during the show</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>there has been a few ocations were Dirty jim of the monsters would go Fuckin insane </p><p>also bubba whoop wilson when he was drinkin and not on his med was know to go nuts </p>

[FlashVirus]

<p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>O&amp;A (and R&amp;F ) are really all just shockjocks when you think about it. They know what they are doing and how to make people mad. I don't think the listners of both shows gave a shit about the boring grammy audio, the black earl situation was way more entertaining than listening to grammy clips. Do you think Jim Norton would really flip out at earl because Earl messed up the recordings?&nbsp;</p>

[FUNKMAN]

<p>not sure if he could get away with it but it may just take a 'go fuck yourself' from Earl when people are getting on his case, to release that pressure he's feeling</p><p>then again he may wind up like Spider...</p>

[Mr.Pants]

Radio theater and reality get blurred sometimes on both shows sometimes. Earl needs to roll with it. Even Schitzo Bill sort of caught on.

<p>Did anyone hear Earl stammering and stuttering when Ron asked him if
David Lee Roth was back from vacation and on the air again?&nbsp; It's
a dead giveaway that he's lying whenever he does that, and he proceeded
to fabricate a story about DLR being on a &quot;permanent vacation&quot; as well
as the &quot;new&quot; lineup at Free FM.&nbsp; </p><p>When a caller corrected
him on it, Earl immediately blamed his misinformation on an
intern.&nbsp; It's like he's terrified to say &quot;I don't know&quot; when
either Ron or Fez ask him a question and he'd rather make something up.
&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Strange man, that Earl. &nbsp;</p>

[Marc with a c]

he is an odd fellow. does anyone else find it peculiar that earl has a bible with him in studio?

He almost fell over he was passing the blame on so fast. And this was neither some stinky shit, nor a particularly large fan. Earl's starting to come off as a little two-faceded, to quote Rich Vos. Same thing that happened with the Emmys and ESD, he said he would &quot;take responsibility&quot; for the channels getting switched, but implied that it was Dave who was really at fault. I don't know, Earl. I just don't know. Maybe he's a good producer, I have no idea what's involved in that, but I don't think I'd want to be in a foxhole with him. </p>

I was just as ready to believe what O&amp;A had been saying that David Lee Roth had lost more than half Stern numbers,and was in a steep nose-dive.They also noted that seriously when trying to BUILD a show you rarely take a big vacation so soon.To COIN a CLICHE' the &quot;Writing is on the WALL&quot; as far as Roth failing that station.It wouldn't be a big surprise if he was replaced by &quot;Hambone Spammy and the Sports Guys&quot;&nbsp; from who-cares-where Delaware.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I still think East Side Dave would work great in that early morning slot and perculate like a Maxwell House commercial.He brings natural cheese flavoids to the table and wears PANTS.

[fredlie]

I'm at work during the show and cant always catch the weekend replays....would someone be kind enough to give a brief rundown of what happened to earl today?&nbsp; Thanks.

[GreyHoodyShirt]

Earl is horrible on the air and he is a liar.&nbsp; He does not understand that apologizing every time he tries to blame someone else for his mistakes is not enough.&nbsp; He is poison.&nbsp; On air and off air.&nbsp; This is one example of how his incompetence off air can be bad for the show.&nbsp; It made it worse when he would not admit his mistake until he knew there was proof he screwed up.

<span class=post_edited>This message was edited by GreyHoodyShirt on 3-8-06 @ 3:41 PM</span>

[Gvac]

<p>Yes, Mr. Douglas once again was more than willing to throw a
co-worker under the bus today.&nbsp; It's becoming very predictable and
very, very sad.&nbsp; Whenever the least bit of heat is thrown his way,
he immediately seeks out someone to blame (other than himself, of
course) and he has become what can only be described as a compulsive
liar.&nbsp; </p><p>Wake up, Earl.&nbsp; You're not a 19 year old
college intern.&nbsp; You're a grown man who's supposed to be the
captain of the ship behind the scenes of the Ron and Fez show.&nbsp;
Lying and pointing fingers is no way for a competent leader to
act.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earl threw a tantrum on East Side today, throwing his headphones and redlining the microphones by screaming.&nbsp; Ron kind of rolled with it, but warned Earl about how his temper could cause him to get in trouble with HQ again.&nbsp; </p><p>The throwing of the equipment seems to be what really got under R&amp;F's skin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I can think of many times when Earl has been complemented on his music by Ron (today for example).&nbsp; Seeing as Ron can't (at the very least won't) do the music for the show, I would like it to be done by someone whose musical-opinions he respects.&nbsp; I believe Earl is such a person.</p>

I like it when Earl explodes. It adds some excitement to the show at the right times. I think I would probably explode to if I had to work with a douchebag like ESD!

<p class="MsoNormal"> ESD might be annoying, but his quirks are entertaining.&nbsp; More importantly, no matter how annoying or
pissed off he might get, he is in control of himself.&nbsp; </p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;<br />Black Earl on the other hand, has had

ESD is funny but it he needs to know where his place is on that show. Earl is the executive producer and ESD is just a temp. until Harry comes back. Don't get me wrong I like ESD but in my mind he ranks last.

Give me Earl on my team anyday, he puts in extra hours, is loyal and even though he's normally mild you can tell he Would Plant one Right in your Kisser ! (myah see, 1932 mode off).

Maybe&nbsp;some did Mikey, I feel that people are just way too critical of Earl and I expressed my thoughts. I think he deserves to have some degree of defense. I didn't outright say it was racist though it felt &quot;kind've&quot; that way to me. I doubt there is anyone on the shows&nbsp;staff more dedicated to than Earl and he has done a great job&nbsp;with what he has&nbsp;been given.&nbsp;

<p>Al fucking SUCKED.&nbsp; They had a lot of memorable bits with him but by the end I couldn't wait for him to leave.&nbsp; Then when he got kicked to the dump button, I was on cloud 9.&nbsp; I was extremely scared they would bring him back with all the little calls and shit about him, but Ron and Fez stood by their guns and moved on.</p><p>How many times could they really degrade this guy?&nbsp; How many times?&nbsp; </p><p>I'll take Earl over most of the producers any day.</p>

[Gvac]

Thanks mikeyboy.&nbsp; I couldn't have said it any better myself.&nbsp; And just to clarify, this isn't a hate thread, just an observational one.&nbsp; I've known and dealt with Earl for 5 years now, and there's definitely something &quot;not right&quot; there, in my opinion.&nbsp; I really think he has certain issues that have to be worked out.&nbsp; <br />

[Reephdweller]

<p>I guess there's no way for me to explain that is sufficient, though I had a feeling and an emotion about this and I expressed it. I don't just throw that out there to be shocking, but rather I genuinely feel that he was being attacked to harshly and I commented on it with what my feelings were and I think are for some people. Whatever though, as I said, by no means did I feel that Gvac was being racist and Gvac if it came off that way I apologize. I know that's a hard implication to throw out there which is why I tried to say it as carefully as possible.</p>

<p>As Ron was saying today, it is Earl's job to forsee these possible problems and deal with them BEFORE they happen.</p><p>This
is another Earl tactic, taking everything on his own shoulders and then
using it as an excuse.&nbsp; He isn't there to do every bit of work, he
is there to delgate responsibility.&nbsp; He had Dave and at least 3
interns at his disposal.&nbsp; There was no reason on earth he was
answering the phones, running the board, etc...</p><p><br />
And, I reiterate...it was a live, on location broadcast, the mics were
down, he is executive producer...go to commercial.&nbsp; It should have
been arranged to do so beforehand for just such a problem.<br />
</p>

[epo]

<p>The whole situation is bad:</p><p>- Earl has no real staff and needs another person.</p><p>- Dave is probably not the man for producing on a small staff.</p><p>- Earl doesn't do well with taking responsibility for events that happen when they <u>might </u>be his fault.</p><p>- XM is in no hurry to throw more money at the R&amp;F show.</p>

[watson]

isnt everyone mentally unstable?<br />

[IamFogHat]

<p>I don't think he's &quot;mentally unstable&quot; but (despite how much&nbsp;i like him) the guy is definitely emotionally unstable.&nbsp; Basically, he's a cry baby.&nbsp; He's the guy who when you were a kid and started to beat at a game would snatch it up or grab the ball and yell &quot;you're cheating!&quot; or &quot;unfair!&quot; and walk away through thinly veiled tears.</p><p>come on earl, man up.</p>

[Sleeves]

<p>Earl never will report what he's thinking about when problems go down, only what he was doing.&nbsp; So he'll never say &quot;I knew the mics were dead, but I was hoping they'd pop back at any second&quot;, he'll just say that he was trying to do two things at once.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think R&amp;F just keep going&nbsp;at him cause they want some insight into Earl-thought. </p><p>Interestingly, Dave provides excessive insight into his own thinking when he f's up.&nbsp; But it's all crazy thought...</p><p>If yesterday's show was a car accident, Fez would be upset because he'd think&nbsp;everyone would blame the accident on him, Dave would crawl into one of the crashed cars to &quot;help&quot;, Earl would be striding quickly away, and Ron would be shaking his head saying &quot;I thought we were going out to eat!&quot;</p>

Sounds like he needs Dave and Earl to cut him one ounce of slack.

[The Blowhard]

Earl is sounding more and more like Goliath the talking dog everyday. The guy needs something to wake him up from his coma...how about paintballs, a la Staples? And speaking of Staples, where are you, Billy?

[AKA]

<p>I agree with what se7en said, about it looking like Ron was seizing an oppotunity and it was tough to listen to, but as the show went it on it seemed clear that there were aspects of the show behind the scenes that were Earl's responsibility that just weren't getting done - when you get the same answer from the same people who are clearing giving lip service to placate you, then why not find the quickest work around to get what gets done? It's an element of all event managment - it doesn't ultimately matter how sloppy it is behind the scenes if it is seemless to the people it needs to be. </p><p>You're telling me Keisha and J. Dubs could get the CBS hook up and Earl can't? Maybe it was easier because CBS and Infinity were the same thing, but they are not on an island (ok..they are...Manhattan...errr...) - they know people everywhere. </p><p>Hell - he makes enough where he can pluck the shit on his own credit card ($10 a month for 3 montsh); this is something Ron talks about every year and even casual listeners knew this - summer time = Ron watching Big Brother feeds. </p><p>I dig Earl a lot, but I have to say I've been very surprised at the meltdowns and shitting the bed that has been brought up on the air - long before he worked for them, I always assumed he'd be the one producer that wouldn't ever let them down.</p><p>Then again - as Matty pointed out - maybe it was blown out of proportion because of personal shit - but tensions have been going on for awhile now...</p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: "bookman old style";">Evolutionists have always maintained
that man and dinosaurs never lived together and I must admit that the notion
that they did didn&rsquo;t quite grab me either.&nbsp;
But upon checking out various websites and also The Bible, there is
significant evidence to support it.&nbsp; Many
have argued that given a dinosaur&rsquo;s size, it would have been impossible for
Noah to get one dinosaur, much less two into the Ark.&nbsp;
In Genesis 6:13, God tells Noah that the Ark must be &lsquo;300 cubits, its width 50 cubits
and its height 30 cubits.&rsquo; Under today&rsquo;s measurements, the height of the Ark would be 45 feet,
width at 75 feet and 450 feet in length.&nbsp;
Of most animal species, the ones that are stronger, faster and more apt
to reproduce are the babies.&nbsp; They also
sleep more and eat less.&nbsp; If you were to
take a still growing brachiosaurus onto the Ark,
it would be about only 15 feet tall and would easily fit onto the Ark.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></strong></p>

i think he has a case of harry t.

[lleeder]

I think Earl has anxiety issues. He has a bad stomach probably from stress. This fainting pass out thing was brought on by the fact he lied about banging that mental patient. He can't think in high pressure situations and the constant stress of lying about the girl has made him even more anxious. When hes doing something hes confident in like softball or working the board hes fine otherwise keep those drug companies on speed dial.

Maybe Earl's worst showing ever. It went from ball busting to&nbsp;intervention to something very sad. There were many mouth dropping comments from him that really freaked me out - that interchange with Dave, where he either didn't understand what was said, or tried to backpeddle, was just the peak. He's had a string of really bad moments for weeks and weeks now (maybe since the XM Remote in DC, but obviously before too), but there was always hope that he was at the corner to turn it, or that it was just amped up for the air, but today's culmination and airing of shit that hasn't been brought up before really really just underscores how so many people who have worked on this show, are fans of the show, or even casually listen to this show at one point deserve to spend some time in the nut hut. </p>

Topped, because Earl said we're nice to him.

[NewYorkDragons80]

I'm a 100% Earl supporter, though I do miss having Al around to tool on.

[FartyPneumonia]

If Ronny B. puts him on the street to panhandle he will quit the show after the bit.

[jetdog]

<p>all kidding aside, Earl really needs some medical/psychological help.&nbsp; his reactions, not sleeping, passing out at the drop of a hat is not healthy or by any means safe.&nbsp; </p><p>Okay not all kidding aside, that'd be a great show wouldn't it?&nbsp; Earl's psychological exam?</p><p>Okay, all kidding aside again, I hope he's getting some help. everybody needs some at some point in their life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>None of those blacks are right in the head. Earl your crazy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[BLZBUBBA]

Earl is THE MAN!&nbsp; I keep waiting to hear him do another HOMERUN CALL on the show.&nbsp; That's the best radio I've heard in years.

[ralphbxny]

It was brutal when the chick called him a,&quot;fuckin pussy&quot; for not getting hypnotised. He should embrace the sapphire persona!! Maybe Earl will&nbsp; recover!

[NortonsHeiny]

Do you think any of this could be the reason Earl uses the word &quot;Definately&quot; ever other sentence?&nbsp; Like he uses the words as some sort of idiot savant verbal crutch?&nbsp;

[fillourenco]

earl just has the brain of a goat and not one of the cool goats one of those loser goats who fall down mountains!

[Stalker Patti]

I think Earl should get a full physiological workup with his personal physician.&nbsp; It is not normal to not be able to sleep at night, and a lack of sleep can trigger some mental symptoms, such as anxiety and nervousness.&nbsp; Also, the passing out isn't right either.&nbsp; He has a physical problem, not a psychosomatic one.&nbsp; He needs to get a full work up with lab tests, etc...asap!

Earl is lying his ass off on the FreeFM show right this second.

[Brad_Rush]

Yeah, I don't know why he would make such an obvious, pointless lie like that...&nbsp;

Earl never informed Ron or Fez that he had received audio from Cigar Sid.

[Gvac]

Earl doesn't like cheesesteaks!

[Gvac]

Keith the Cop wanted to send Ron and Fez $50 steaks and Earl wouldn't get back to him.

Earl is just scared that he will lose his job to the Midnight Rider.

Get professional help, Earl.

[high fly]

<p><font size="2">Earl is definitely a hale fellow well met...</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Gvac]

<p>Last Friday I put my personal opinion of Earl aside and shook his hand and thanked him for opening the XM show with AC/DC and putting &quot;Happy Birthday Gvac&quot; on the pad data.&nbsp; I said to him &quot;It takes a big man to put aside our differences, and I wanted to thank you for the birthday tribute.&quot;&nbsp; He replied &quot;Happy birthday Gvac.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p>Today, however, I find myself at odds with him again. &nbsp;</p><p>Earl's inane (and insane) rambling about Sleeves, Mikey D, Dave, etc. concerning the upcoming Hard Rock event was a case study in his lunacy.&nbsp; A man who likes to fancy himself the Captain of the ship is nothing more than a deck hand who would take the first life boat off a sinking ship while pushing women and children aside. &nbsp;</p><p>I know Earl's mental problems make for great radio, but I'm hoping his review with Wicky leads everyone involved to realize that the show would be better served with a more stable (and capable) producer at the helm. &nbsp;</p>

[NortonRules]

<p>I think Earl has strengths, but producing isn't one of them.&nbsp; I don't think he has the mental capacity to handle it.&nbsp; I know wouldn't be able to myself.&nbsp; It's a tough job and takes a certain kind of person to do it right.&nbsp; </p><p>I don't work in radio, so my opinion isn't worth much.</p>

[MadMatt]

<p>I&nbsp;am sorry for kicking&nbsp;a man when he is down, but I think Earl is in for bad news when he meets (or at this point <em>has met</em>) with Wicky.&nbsp; He is probably in for some sort of probation or censure at the very least.</p><p>However, do you think he will be relieved fo duty?&nbsp; Has he screwed stuff up sooooo badly that XM would go that far?&nbsp; And how would that translate to the FreeFM show?</p><p>I don't wish the guy ill, but there are certain &quot;requirements&quot; a producer has to meet.&nbsp; What do you guys think?</p>
