I hope you feel better now that you got all that off your chest.<br /><br />But you're still wrong and we're at least more right.<br /><br />We pretty much documented everything as it happened four years ago based on what was being said on air and social media chatter by the characters, themselves. Unlike you, we haven't come around four years later in an attempt to rewrite history. <br /><br />Yes, since we don't have an "inside track" nor did we ever claim to have one, you are more than welcomed to write about what happened four years ago. Please document your sources and any quotes you may use and be sure to mention the threatened lawsuits over the Matt and Crank show. See, as blog owners, we do know who were frequent visitors to our page (stats tell us who all of our visitors are).<br /><br />Oh, and Matt is doing radio - at least for this week as guest host on a San Diego radio station (KFMB http://www.760kfmb.com/). So, see...we don't just Google things and make up stories. We try to stay on top of the projects we started over four years ago.<br /><br />Anyway, if you take the time to write a professional article to set the facts - and us - straight, we'll have no problem posting it.One Drunk Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438716968005040328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951905144519481958.post-50964377649828877352015-05-11T09:05:52.637-04:002015-05-11T09:05:52.637-04:00Neither of them owe anyone an apology.

M...Neither of them owe anyone an apology. Grow up.<br /><br />Matt didn't get to do his final show because he was already leaving to go to WGMD. He left WGMD on his own accord after taking time off work to look for greener pastures. Dick move, but they didn't fire him by any definition of the word.<br /><br />I have no idea who you are, or why you are so obsessed with two nobody radio hosts (that don't even do radio anymore), but you need to just let it go. It's childish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951905144519481958.post-83153264132616105052015-05-10T01:18:05.818-04:002015-05-10T01:18:05.818-04:00Thank you, anonymous, but apparently we left an in...Thank you, anonymous, but apparently we left an incorrect impression. You are right. No one owes us an apology.<br /><br />Matt and Crank, however, does owe all of Delmarva an apology. The show they did on Aug 19, 2010 was a performance more worthy of a Storm Front audience than mainstream Delmarva audience. Of course, that is our opinion, but one we stick firmly by. <br /><br />Matt was fired from WZBH even if he wasn't kindly handed a pink slip. He came in Monday morning, did his show, and then told not to return on Tuesday or any day. Usually, when one comes in to work, does his job, and at the end of his shift is told "Don't bother coming in any more," that means he was fired. We would like to think Matt was fired for his particularly offensive show on Aug 19, 2010, but for all we know he could have been fired because the boss man didn't like his new tattoo. We don't know; we don't care, but saying he wasn't fired is a lie.<br /><br />While we said he was fired from WGMD, we did offer the caveat that there were major shakeups at the station and a lot of people were fired. All were still unceremoniously fired regardless of the station's reasons.<br /><br />Finally, at WLAP in KY, we said, yet again, Matt was fired and stated that the official word from the station manager was that the station decided not to renew his contract. The point we made was Matt did not voluntarily leave his stint at WLAP so, in effect, he was fired. The reasons could be lack of ratings, his inflammatory style, or his tattoos. But he was still fired.<br /><br />Ok, maybe we're splitting hairs on what "fired" means, but when I was laid off my job a few years ago, I was fired. I knew the layoff wasn't temporary in that the company would be calling me back at some point in the future. The layoff was permanent.<br /><br />Of course, in a few decades' worth of working, I've never been laid off three times in three years, either....One Drunk Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438716968005040328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951905144519481958.post-40265644726113868402015-05-09T21:38:19.001-04:002015-05-09T21:38:19.001-04:00No one owes you an apology.

He just didn't get the ratings they wanted.<br /><br />He's a douchebag, but he wasn't fired in Sussex County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951905144519481958.post-7246458144829832812015-03-30T10:48:36.924-04:002015-03-30T10:48:36.924-04:00There's nothing wrong with constructive critic...There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism at all and I agree with you. But, since when has 93.5 listened to ANY constructive criticism? Fans have called in repeatedly to complain about the choice in music they were playing but were told if they didn't like it, don't listen to it. Not very productive or conducive to ratings. It's hard to say what Leah is being told to say or not say. BUT, the next time I see her, I will slip in that it would be nice to hear about the music/bands and local stories. It has become the trademark of 93.5 to share dumbass stories. That's been going on for a long while. It is half the problem with the station IMO.............Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951905144519481958.post-13047610329486960432015-03-28T22:49:52.398-04:002015-03-28T22:49:52.398-04:00Twice, Leah dedicated two different songs one of u...Twice, Leah dedicated two different songs one of us called in to honor Crank (No Leaf Clover by Metallica and Crying Like a Bitch by Godsmack) and ever since she has been growing on us. If we had to gripe, we wish she'd talk more about the music and the bands (103.5 and 106.1 The Vault, home for Doug McKenzie and Captain Blue - both ex WZBH DJs - do an awesome job at that) and cut down on her "dumbass stories" or at least talk about "dumbass stories" of a local flair. We're all big on keeping it local! We offer the suggestion because we've seen her talent grow over the last few months and maybe our suggestion will help her grow even more to fill the shoes in bigger markets down the road. Then again, we're just five drunk rednecks so what do we know?One Drunk Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438716968005040328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951905144519481958.post-75458094326443540302015-03-28T20:17:54.527-04:002015-03-28T20:17:54.527-04:0093.5 the Beach is, and has been, going down the tu...93.5 the Beach is, and has been, going down the tubes. Murph, Mickey and Cowboy were the last fun or likeable DJ's to even be on 93.5 in the mornings. The music has gone down hill as well as any other content. Once the passion is gone I'm not sure what is left. I don't even listen in the morning anymore. I find a morning program on my iHeart radio app in another state to listen to. That's pretty darn sad. I like Leah in the afternoons. Not just because she is awesome and likeable but because she is a personal friend of my family. Outside of that, bye-bye 93.5!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951905144519481958.post-15588880047790364572015-03-26T21:48:40.609-04:002015-03-26T21:48:40.609-04:00Thank you, anonymous, for the accurate information...Thank you, anonymous, for the accurate information.
