After snapping this pic with the regional celebrity, she asked him why he hasn't been heard on Elliot in the Morning in months. Katie says, "He laughed when I asked and said don't worry about it."
Meanwhile, former DC101 Production Director, Rick "Shock" Shockey weighs in on Flounder's morning show absence: "I don't know what's up with Flounder's absence - Wellington was the Program Director when I left and they have someone new that I don't know."
The current Program Director is James "Doubledown" Howard, who joined the station in December 2010.
Shock also shed some light on his somewhat tumultuous work-relationship with Flounder: "It's not true that Flounder and I never got along. I even recommended him highly to the GM and others when he went for the Imaging position after Spank left," says Shock. "He and I got along great until the last eight months or so. Then, a little dispute got blown up on the EITM show and it got ugly from there."
You'll recall back in November 2008, Flounder and former DC101er, Whitney, threw Shock's coffee pot off a 5th floor balcony. But Shock doesn't hold any grudges...
"All in all, I continue to think he's a very talented producer who is quite capable of being very successful, if he wants to be. I always encouraged him to expand, to do more."
It appears Flounder is taking Shock's advice! Even if he's not on EITM, he's focusing on radio production at DC101 and he continues to expand his growing "DJ Flounder" business with appearances all over the area.
You can still hear Flounder's Mash Ups every Saturday night from 10pm to midnight on DC101.
Update:
Flounder was finally heard Tuesday morning as he entered the studio to assist with some technical problems that were plaguing the show from the start. Elliot asked him about the Chinese food they ate the day before and Flounder said he thought he had food poisoning.
It was a brief appearance, but his first in months. I'd like to think my bitching had something to do with it, but there's no telling!
