I don't see how Gottlieb could do anything other than hate Petro. Seems like he doesn't even want to tolerate him.
All based on past shows. Not listening to today's.
Soren strikes me as one who could die today and not too many would care tomorrow.
Soren is a good guy.
Know him?
I don't but he seems like someone I would like to punch if I was forced to be around them in an informal setting for more than 15-20 min.
I know everyone in KC.
While he can be a bit grating, if you throw his crap back at him he becomes pretty cool. For example, he worked pretty closely with the Orange Bball team while at Syracuse so one could simply imply that he got raped by Bernie Fine and he backs down. Not that I did that or anything.
All local media guys around here are pretty alright if you shove their crap back in their face. It is KC.
