Melissa Durkin - Bombcast

#1 Posted by boylie (304 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

Forgive my ignorance... But who is Melissa Durkin? They mentioned her at the beginning of the most recent Bombcast, and a google search reveals nothing really noteworthy. Can someone fill me in here?

I believe she's a Whiskey employee, but I don't know what she does.

I assume it's the Melissa who works at Whiskey. I believe she's involved in the financial/business side of things, but I'm not 100% sure.

I think she's the one they call internett melissa at tested. she is sexually attractive, if I would be close by I would give her flowers and ask for a date.

She's part of the business end of Whiskey Media and for CES she acted as "internet Melissa" for the Tested chat.

She's the ring leader, she calls the shots

Interesting. Her linkedIn states s he has worked for CNET (Gamespot's parent company) in the past. Probably how she got brought in to Whiskey, or maybe she brought Jeff and Ryan to Whiskey.

Ah, it's not THAT weird. It would be less weird without the word "sexually". Though, just a little less.

I know she helped with driving the Tested van at CES and handled the chat for part of one of their nightly livestreams. I think at the time Will said she was Whiskey HR or something like that.

She was the one who kept alot of the live events scheduled and running in a timely fashion. I remember her popping in on Vinny to make sure the Happy Hour would be ready to go when a 1/4 inch jack broke off in one of the machines, and Vinny managed to open it and fix it in time.

Michelle would have been the one to put his balls in a vice if he didn't.

(Alright, maybe Kessler would put his balls in the vice, she'd turn the screws though.)

Did she quit or something?
