The Cranky Middle Manager in Brazil
Oh, if only I were…. but the show is. This was from an article on podcasting in Voce S/A, the leading business mag in Brazil. I don’t read Portuguese, but I like the word Mal-humorado every bit as much as Cranky, don’t you?
2 - Mau humor
Para quem é fluente em inglês, esse é imperdível. The Cranky Middle Manager Show (O Show do Médio Gerente Mal-humorado), apresentado pelo comediante Wayne Turmel, é voltado para “aqueles que estão presos entre os idiotas que tomam as decisões e os imbecis que não conseguem seguir ordens simples”.
They did an interview that will come out next month. Maybe I’m only destined to be a big hit with people who can’t understand what I’m really saying…….

Hi Wayne,
I`m a Brazilian, Voce SA reader, and because of that magazine I`ve found this address at Google…
I`m really wondering if when you said “people who can’t understand what I’m really saying” you mean that foreign people can’t learn English effective or if Brazil is a jungle and there are no business enviroment nor businessmen used to companies’ enviroment…
Do you really need this to make fun?

Flavia, that’s not what I meant at all… I simply meant that as someone who embarrassingly only speaks one language, I know that my show goes out to countries where English is not the primary language. I was talking about my own lack of facility, not those of people smarter than myself.
I have done business in Brazil and can’t wait to go back. Please know that this show was not an attempt to make fun of anyone other than myself- and maybe Pope Julian II
