NO FUCKING WAY MAN!

THIS FUCKING SUCKS!

What a way to wake up and read the news today.

RIP LES.

In every industry, they say 99/100 people you'll meet are assholes but if you're lucky, maybe you'll end up working with the 1 nice guy/gal. Les was that 1 nice guy.

FUCK! I can't believe this!

Way too fucking young!

Who is left on the air of the old Sports Phone crew with Fred retiring last weekend and Les dying this weekend?

Sini, that was a good read.

"he always gave me time, he worked with me back and forth and it wasn't just "i'll hang up and wait for my answer" it was more "my dime our dancefloor" and that kind of ethos is always appreciated in an increasingly corporatized medium. his show was oldschool where it counted"

That's a common theme from a lot of people today. Les let me talk and we would have a conversation. Absolute end of an era. Very weird that Les and Steve Somers were the last 2 major market local overnighters and they are both gone within 2 months of each other.

R.I.P. Les

His show got me through a lot of overnight shifts and provided a ton of sound clips for other hosts to create segments. Lee Elia, Madonna, pants shitting, break room cleanup, Grote impersonation, etc. So much content provided by Les.

Big hole in that overnight spot that unfortunately will probably go to a national show.

And it's absolute horseshit that there's a gofundme for funeral expenses. Audacy should already have the checkbook out.

It was a bit ironic to hear Bernstein pay tribute to Les for providing a radio refuge for social outcasts because they "recognized" him as a fellow outcast when it was Bernstein who played such a pivotal role in reinforcing Les's marginality.

Grote mentioned Les had "insurance problems". I hope Mitch is working to resolve this.

None of these companies that own radio stations give a shit about the employees. In their minds they're less than human. Nobody at Audacy has a clue who Les was or gives a shit. Soulless assholes.

Right. Les was the quintessential sports fan at a station that developed an editorial stance of sneering at sports fans.

Kinda makes Mitch Rosen seem less "heroic"--in Bernstein's formulation--for keeping the Score local on overnights.
