Al didn't quit but for the past few days they've talked about Al having the thousand yard stare, nearly giving up. today he said that he feels he has less than a month left and it seems disappointing sinece i thought he had more in him but oh well.
Let's start the pool

i didn't listen to the show tonight but... haven't ya ever had a really bad day at work and said to yourself or others.. thats it I've had it!!! Well think about all the shit he takes day to day... staged or not... some of it must be real... My point being, I don't know him very well but he doesn't seem like the quitting type, he seems stronger than that.
god put me on this earth to do a certain number of things right... now i'm so far behind, i'll never die.

I'm surprise the man is still around, he has no balls to stand up for himself, imagine the abuse if he was on the OnA show. Al just quit and produce a show with monkeys in a small town before producing anything in new york radio

Al seems like he will always stay around. The only reason he left the other show he used to do was because it was going to get cancelled.

He Sucks. Mark my words, he'll be gone soon. Ratings=Money, and all things obey money, so once top brass figure out where the squeaky wheel is, they'll axe Al.
I'll bet that after the Winter Break, Ron & Fez will have a new producer.

ice, i've defended al and feel for/understand him in ways that disturbs me but he doesn't defend himself. I mean it's pathetic. when the listeners call he just stands there and takes punches until they tire of it. I think if he would engage in verbal tete-a-tete with his abusers he would definitely be raised a couple of notches in the eyes of many.

Al says he reads the board. If you are reading this AL, don't give up- hang in there but for the love of God-grow some balls and start fighting back. I garuantee that you will gain the respect of the listeners!!!!!

Can't this all be just an act? I mean come on now...we have all met Al and as far as I know...everyone takes back their thoughts on him because he's really nice in person. This is radio we're talking about....it can be a bit....don't ya think?

Dont you see, people? A LOT OF the stuff on the show is NOT staged, but look, it all has you talking, and I am sure you will all be tuned in everyday to see what happens with Al. This is what they want. Al is a smart guy, I didnt like him at the beginnin, but i have gotten to know him and he really means well and knows what he is doing. Look at all the fuss over it! Ratings...now I did not hear the show tonite, but it must have been controversial, or something went down BIG TIME. NOW I am going to listen tommorrow nite, and I am sure all of you will too. RATINGS!!!

i've actually met al and he is pretty cool, i figured i'd hate him but i didn't. but honestly the al dukes thing is getting old, it's pretty much the same jokes with him everytime about being pathetic and gay and stuff. maybe it's time for new blood. either way R and F rule, but i think it's time for a change. no not owen hart, in producers
it's true,
it's damn true!

ikea- in all honesty though... as producer of the show, do really think he has the time or the strengh to engage in verbal battles with the many listeners that call in and bust his balls... mabye he's just above that.
god put me on this earth to do a certain number of things right... now i'm so far behind, i'll never die.

I thought that the best part was when they played "this is the end", and Ronnie was narrating the part of Al Dukes and all the past producers..."Hey theres Dumpy Lopresto, he was just a kid when he signed on, then he left in a meat bag...why is he waving to me"...classic!!

Hey Al --- if you are reading this - Helen & I are with you buddy - I got your back baby -- If you have to get abit tougher, then do it !!!!! But do not quit !!!!!!!! To me, that's the lowest. Then everyone else wins & gets the last laugh -

actually, i have met him once. i went to the station to have r&f sign my year book. he made my friend and i wait for at least an hour, but it was all good when ron threw darts at him (though it was more like just above his head)

i know he doesn't have strength to fight off every caller, I'm just saying it seems as if his taking the blows without responding is taking its toll on him. it's like he wants to unleash but he's afraid to.

Al has a backbone of an ant he allows everyone to walk over, if he can't defend himself against joe poo or anyone in the studio. Surival of the fittest and if Al lasts until after christmas he's going to be on the show for awhile longer.
I guess it would be called the "Natural Selection" of Radio Producers - only the strong survive
