Holes brought it in that opening segment, props to him. Sounded like shots at the station/company for the Score House shit. Bernstein is a pussy, he will never step out on the company. Holmes does need to understand though, Julie is awful. He has always been a Julie and Maggie ass kisser. Not sure why Conner gets love either. He's been shitty for years.

McDoink gets love from Holmes as years ago he was his producer

I listened to Finfer’s on air blowup when he found out the Game was done. I had forgotten that Doink was part of that.

that's larry in a nutshell. he's right and of course he delivers it will the tough guy larry act.

that is loho

Was Lawrence's larger point really "don't call us a family then fire people"? Did he say what he thinks management should have done differently in the face of a rather sudden and, as of 2 months ago, unforeseen financial crisis which could quickly turn into a depression?

That was exactly his point. KW is right. It’s just the way Larry is.

LOL those IMS ad reads were always grim, but after this? Holy shit!

Every employer in the country is making really hard decisions right now. Larry can take his little class warfare bullshit and shove it.

Parkins is going to catch a beating once they get back to the studio, breaking bad on Holmes.

His example was Rick Camp was fired right before or during (it was unclear) Laurence's show. Family wouldn't do that.

What he say? What hour?

Good move would’ve been to shitcan him to save Jules and Camp, then promote Julie to his shift . Still would’ve saved money and the 2 family members Leery cares so much about . Fall on your sword bro if you’re that upset at “ management “ .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Lawrence is right.

Calling it a family during good times and then firing them after having them come in is hypocritical.

What should management do? Eat losses for the good of the family.

Or shut the fuck up about being a family.

I am listening to his comments.

Saying they are mercenaries.

Then he makes it sound like he does not have a radio partner because of this stuff. Like he has a choice in that matter. He does not have a partner because the station is not going to pay another person to be his partner.

DONT TALK TO ME ABOUT FAMILIY EVER AGAIN!

He needs to shut up and be thankful he still has a job

Entercom Communications stock is .83 cents. Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Larry was once a producer.

Somebody had to get fired for him to be a host. Did Larry cry for the person he replaced? Did he go on the air that first day and say "We're not a family" here.

Pretty sure he didn't. Pretty sure he was happy that person was fired so he could get a chance.

I also remember him making snide comments when both Mac and North were fired.

It wasn't the SCORE's decision, dumb ass Larry. This came from Entercom. All Entercom media properties across the country had lay offs. Just like the rest of the world, Larry.

Parkins was saying that earlier. And he said what I said. There are no ad dollars coming into the station now. There had to be cut backs. And you have no sports. Cubs money isn't coming in. A few people had to go. It's life. Once again, be grateful it wasn't you, Larry.

And no, the place you work is never your family, Larry. Get used to reality. You were never "family-like" to Mac, North or Murphy. And you also hate Parkins. So you should know this.

Your family is your family. Your job is your job.

I was going to listen to Parkins, but it seems hour 2 where it would have been is missing on the podcast. Hour 1, 3, 4 are there but no hour 2

I'm shocked Zaidman wasn't one of them let go.

What does he have to do with no Cubs?

I'm pretty sure Pat Hughes and Pat Coomer get paid by the Cubs. So that's up to the Cubs to deal with them.

But I've always thought that the pre and post guy is paid by the station. I think Chris Rongey said that on this board one time.

Cuz Shuester was the pre and post guy for the Bulls and got whacked.

Since Zach is on air during the game, he may be in a different category. But I doubt he is getting any income with no games.

So I can't wait to hear what the pitch is now to get suckers to sign on for Illinois Media School.

Sign on so you can get shitcanned when the radio industry predictably goes south!

Easy solution. Pull up the radio.com app and hit the rewind option til the 3pm hour. About 30 min in.

IMS will go bankrupt before entercom.

ok thanks, I think I got it now. I didn't realize you could go back to previous shows. I knew you could rewind in the show that was current. Cool, good to know.

Listened to Parkins and Mac on the situation. They did clearly disagree with Larry. Will be interesting to see if there is any carryover between them and Larry.

It was funny that they specifically mentioned feeling bad for Connor, Camp, and even mentioned a sales staff dude....but crickets on July!

It was also about HOW it was done. They fires Camp seconds before the start of his show. He also touched on how they've blown money and how those resources could have allowed management to wait slightly longer before firing everyone.
