Is it better to resign or be fired? The former president of Viacom Music and Entertainment Group, Doug Herzog (host of the podcast 'Basic, When Cable Was Cool'), breaks down his experiences on both sides of that coin and how to preserve your reputation no matter which you decide. An architect of pop culture, Herzog also opens up about his early days at CNN & MTV before the rise of cable, his transition from Comedy Central, and what he sees as the future of television. The team digs into whether there's an ounce of legitimacy to award shows and how to say "No" to people on your team without hurting their feelings. In SCAM OF THE WEEK, Doug shares the story of how an assistant can scam your corporate card, and @Rod4Short pitches a sitcom reboot and circles back to two of his favorite topics - dogs and Roy building a luxury car by hand.
