Pretty tasteless "joke" then. Especially with Fred's emphasis on "HATE" and Wallach nodding along with a dead serious look on his face.
Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show
- Thread starter RedOctober3829
- Start date
It's great when it's the actual dirty laundry. As far as I can extrapolate from these comments, they believe Rich was trying to take over control of T&R and subordinate the rest of them and using contract negotiations to hold the show hostage.
When they give the specifics the whole thing makes a lot more sense. I believe I'd hate a guy that did that too.
Brave card from Miss Alimony over here.
Figure it's coming from Rich always playing up his poverty in childhood and common man status later on. Not exactly a man of the people with vacation houses all over the place.
It always seemed to me that Rich managed his money (and personal life) way better than Fred so not surprised that Stephanie is jealous.
It's not jealousy. It's mocking him for expensive purchases he can no longer afford without a job.
Oh oh. I buy expensive shit and I am not working. Where is my mocking so I can be prepared?
maybe Rich saved money and/or has other forms of income?
Yeah, I don't really get where the "Rich is always playing the 'common man' status" take comes from. But it seems clear he grew up in relative poverty and boot strapped and climbed his way on his own to financial success. Sounds like a great success tomorrow to me. But maybe punching down on this and mocking someone who may now be suffering financially for "jokes" is the way to go. What do I know. But also maybe Rich just deserves it, because he allegedly tried to get Fred fired and seems to be hated/disliked by just about everyone he has worked with? I honestly don't really have a dog in this feud. The whole thing seems like high school level drama and silliness.
I know the man is no longer with us, but I would love to hear an Eddie Money impression again soon. That was top-tier radio.
Most anyone can Airbnb properties in Stowe and Nantucket to pay a mortgage. I have no horse in this race but I still don’t get the zing.
For real. Owning property in 2 wealthy New England vacation spots is a problem that I would like to have. I get that his current work situation isn't the best, but having property in those 2 spots can be a revenue stream all by themselves.
Oh I agree, I was trying to propose an explanation. It seems like a lot of pent-up stuff finally got an outlet. I'm sure there's more context about it between them.
The common man stuff I took to be things like saying "going to the Cape" instead of "going to my house on Nantucket." It was one of the things Fred (and Wallach) mentioned a while back about Rich putting on a front.
they say you’re not really dead until people stop talking about you. So by Fred not doing the impression, he is actually killing Eddie Money. Fred, please don’t kill the money man.
It’s also that time of year where they have to play the thanksgiving interview with Eddie. Gobble Gobble it’s the Money Man!
Are you gonna have that last slice of shoe?
I know that Fred expressed some regret at one point for doing actual interviews with the money man, but I thought they were perfect. Eddie started an interview by immediately asking the guys what they knew about Dave Roberts, but used a politically incorrect term to refer to him. Also, Eddie's great story about losing a rental car in a corn field, and the farmer finding it the next season, which made Eddie real happy, as his best saxophone was in the car.
This is out of the blue, but I heard on the midday show they were revisiting some youth football announcer clips and it reminded me of this
Does anyone remember the d3 college football announcer bit? I think the school was in Connecticut, there was a girl named Hanna and a couple of guys who were absolutely clueless? I remember it being some of the shows funniest audio but they have not replayed it like ever

Wow that jogged my memory. Wasn't the back to you guys kid walking around the field and couldn't see what the hell was going on? GUYS!
For the record, when Wallach corrected Fred about this on today's show he got it wrong. Eddie didn't say "Asian". Fred was thinking along the right lines that it would've been a term used in the 1950s.
It was great to hear the money man on the show again.
I can’t wait for Fred’s take on this.

He’s a mix of Kyrie and Schilling. I can’t imagine the shows reaction ends positive for him.

Hey guys,
Im new here and I hope everyone is doing well. I honestly am looking far and wide for any audio of Toucher and Rich when they were on WBCN. I have collected some audio from some very fine people but I am doing everything in my power to get more. Any help with this would be wildly appreciated. Apologies in advance if this is the wrong thread to post this but it seems right so fuck it.

I have none but I'd love to hear old BCN stuff if you can make any of that available - that was my golden age of listening. Remember when they did "the effing champ" drinking contest? I know it's less funny knowing Fred's addiction but damn that was some fun radio.
Thats exactly how I feel bro. I do have some but I am a greedy prick so I want more which is why I posted here lmao. if you want to DM me I can give you more info cause I do have a lot that you would probably love to hear.
Thanksgiving having just passed, I was just thinking about the “Will a turkey eat turkey” bit.
The way things stand now, between rights and relationships, hard to imagine that either Fred ir Rich (in whatever capacity) will want to or be able to replay much vintage stuff. Best bet is definitely anybody with a private collection. Best of luck - and if you find any audio, do share!

I was saddened that they skipped Skanksgiving and didn't replay the classic "Have dinner with ME! Steven Tyler!...." audio. Miss those candied yams....
I can share with you boys some files if you want, gotta figure out a way to make it kind of private though so I dont dox myself lmao.
But yes if anybody in this thread has their own collection for the love of god share it!
For the time being this is a brief bit of a collection available through archive that I found:

It did! I don't remember how they ended it last time but I think it was "ok, see you next week!"
I enjoyed those segments but didn’t even notice they were gone … not sure what that says about it
Crash always seemed pressed for time when doing these. One time it seemed like he had to bail to do a radio/TV hit for his own job.
It’s been very good. Callahan is must listen every week. Forsberg and Hardy are the surprise bromance we didn’t know we needed (also a solid rapport with Fred even though I miss Gorman). I’ll even eat my words on Kendra, I think the way she’s developed as their Friday guest has been good for everyone.
If the guy who calls in as Henry Rollins posts here, bravo to you, man.

It was a pleasant change of pace. Hardy got to cleanse himself of his douchey sidekick persona for a little while. I listen on Mondays and Fridays during Reiss/Breer appearances. This was good.
Breer is great when tOSU has to eat a little humble pie for a period of time. His NFL stuff is a great complement to Reiss, Callahan, Perry et al.

Of all the fill ins, he’s the only one who’s an instant turn off the radio, especially at 6am during a holiday week. Totally wrong personality for the shift. I’m assuming he’s extremely cheap and there’s no ratings this week so why waste money?
Johnston and Flynn were perfect for it.
I always thought he was the worst. Everything he said was word vomit. It's like he got paid by the word
To my knowledge he’s coaching High School Football, so weekends are out and one his kids was doing shows on Broadway plus COVID hit. Johnstons alluded at times he just got too busy with family and gave it up.
I used to see him at the gym. He was a terrifying human in person, like he’d have no problem killing anyone, although like his Ravens teammate I doubt he did.

Ditto. I tried listening in twice during my commute this week and It's just bad radio and not even remotely interesting.
I thought yesterday’s show with Barth, Callahan and Kendra was a perfect vacation fill in show. Different, light hearted but talked a lot of sports. Callahan is really growing on me.

A 21.7 for T&H in the latest book. I didn't really listen to T&R and I don't really listen to T&H, but I thinks this proves that Fred was the true alpha of T&R and that Rich is a lightweight. There's no way that Fred would do as poorly as Rich did if he went off on his own.
