How about "The Jerk"?

Oh wait, that title has already been used, too bad. :)

I listened to about 20 minutes of this last night. It was pretty scattershot. Fun, in a trainwreck sort of way. I found myself kind of missing hearing them together on the radio. Did anyone else find North's voice on FM jarring?

You could just omit "on FM."

I'm sure Hollywood is all ready for a "reimagining" of that brand.

When does he have Jerry, Rocky and Da Mayor on?

Didnt listen but sounds like the same shit he has been bitching about for years and doing biz the same way. Nothing creative nothing new, just go find as money suckers as possible to give him money to say their name on the air.

It's official, he can't actually learn anything. Need that GED back!

That movie won't be made.

It's amazing. Here is North, pushing 60, doing a "try out" night shift on an FM station with no listeners. Think about that. He turned down an 800k salary a few years ago. What an idiot.

That was not an 800K salary - that contract was an 800K engineered minefield, wired to blow, and North knew it.

It was a typical Reinsdorfian-type move that an organization pulls when they want a guy to leave, but to save the face of having the bouncers throw them out onto the curb.


I think Seacrest detailed that the contract probably was six months with a renewable six months if he reached unreacheable production. Still, would not have been a bad goodbye.

I wonder if 101.1's peeps are looking on the internet for any reaction to Nort being on the air for two days.

I doubt they find any reaction other than this site. In that case, bad news for Mikey.
