Serge, we need to address the way you speak to the team.
![Charly Bukovskay](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/bukovskay.jpg?itok=49E-Qn50)
Oh, screw this, we won't address shit! I'll just say whatever the fuck I want, and if anyone is offended, you can fire my ass! What I said wasn't event offending.
![Alex Heck - Corporate Executive](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/alex-heck.jpg?itok=UHxOzfgz)
Yes, it was. Very much so.
![Charly Bukovskay](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/bukovskay.jpg?itok=49E-Qn50)
To whom?
![Alex Heck - Corporate Executive](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/alex-heck.jpg?itok=UHxOzfgz)
To everybody.
![Charly Bukovskay](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/bukovskay.jpg?itok=49E-Qn50)
Yeah, so nobody! It's not like I've been racist or anything. I just said you were a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats. It's not an insult; it's a fact!
![Alex Heck - Corporate Executive](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/alex-heck.jpg?itok=UHxOzfgz)
If you keep like this, we'll have to pull the plug on the show. We won't work with someone who insults our staff.
![Charly Bukovskay](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/bukovskay.jpg?itok=49E-Qn50)
Then pull the plug.
![Alex Heck - Corporate Executive](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/alex-heck.jpg?itok=UHxOzfgz)
I'll do it. For real.
![Charly Bukovskay](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/bukovskay.jpg?itok=49E-Qn50)
Do it. What I say is what I say.
Later, on an interview:
![Shanda Zieuthi](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-11/shanda-oggle.jpg?itok=SS2YL_qj)
That's a pretty ballsy statement. You don't mince your words.
![Charly Bukovskay](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/bukovskay.jpg?itok=49E-Qn50)
Nope! I value my freedom.
![Shanda Zieuthi](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-11/shanda-oggle.jpg?itok=SS2YL_qj)
But you did apologize, though, and ended up working for them.
![Charly Bukovskay](/sites/default/files/styles/max_325x325/public/2023-10/bukovskay.jpg?itok=49E-Qn50)
Yeah, I needed the money.
