Drew Garabo "In Your face" Listening Thread - August 2013

There's nothing we can do about the Spice thing. Can't let it hinder our enjoyment of other shows.

Agreed. I just hope the station survives.

[NotNot]

Sounds like an emotional day for drew. Very sad story about his homie.

[NotNot]

U2 still sucks ass though.

[Chob]

Man this guy has an inflated sense of self worth. Truckers that move food or even people that stock grocery shelves are far more vital. Like Drew said, fast food is a luxury.

[NotNot]

Drew spittin them dope rhymes!

[NotNot]

Uh oh a spice caller

[Ace]

Oioi. Anyone else feel guilty for listening to the bone? I'm still pissed about spice. But I can't stay away...so bored without it.

However...drew is very entertaining

Drew is the only one I listen to now.

[Chob]

A "grope" sounds fitting.

[Chob]

X-Pac seems like such a cool guy.

A bushel.

Hi there! A few things: X-Pac is an unbelievably cool guy. The first few times we hung out, I have to confess that I wasn't really all that aware of his wrestling fame until people kept approaching him for photos. Really intelligent and emotional guy. Proud to call him a friend.

It was an emotional day regarding my friend, Chris. It sucks when a parent outlives his or her kid, and I wasn't expecting his dad to call in. A little too real and raw for me, but I was happy to speak with him.

The Spice thing is so odd for me to experience, as I've been through it on the receiving end. He's a good friend and I liked his show. That said, I'm pretty sure he made more money than I make...which isn't necessarily a LOT, but it is a lot for a night show host. If you're outside the 6a-7p time frame, and you're making decent money, you are a liability in radio. No matter how much the sales department tries, they're going to focus on the 6a-7p shows.

The Bone is doing great from a ratings and revenue perspective. Looking to 2014, they decided to "tighten the belt" and we lost Spice and Fisher. It sucks, but it's a business decision that I totally get. I completely understand and appreciate your emotional investment and reaction. I hope you can find enjoyment out of listening to the other shows, mine included, but I also understand if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth about the Bone and radio in general.

Thanks as always,

Drew

I know we don't see eye to eye Drew but I'm very sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I have a high level of hatred for molesters, nothing I hate more.
