Did Mitch finally decide he couldn't take it anymore?

bananasnblondes

On my way to the car wash this morning I was flipping through the dials and 950 had a national show on (no warning. Just gone). I'm wondering if Mitch finally realized that he would have to put a gun in his mouth if he had to do one more day with Dick Fain and "Slickhawk".

I do feel sorry for him. He sounds completely miserable on the air. He's held that station up for years now and he doesn't even hide his feelings anymore about being surrounded by complete idiots.

well, to be fair, he surrounds himself with idiots on purpose. He's had some talent around him, Fish, Sandmeier, Rock Star Bob. But he either chases those guys away because he doesn't really want anyone around him that is any good and has a following (Fish or Sandy) and he gets rid of them for a yes man. And if a guy has any real talent, he moves the fuck outta Seattle (Bob). He's perfectly happy with a couple of idiots like Slick and Fain. No pressure to actually have to produce.

I actually know Mitch and Sandy a little bit (local personality superiority guy) and, off the air, he's an incredibly funny and good dude and would fit in here. Sandy and Fish were not his decisions, though he did think Sandy would do better as a primary guy and not as a sidekick and pushed for that. KJR, like all of radio (radio insider superiority guy) hates talent and is notoriously cheapskate. They'd rather have Glee Club watchers with no talent like Fain who don't rock the boat then deal with personalities... hence the rise of Jack FM and all that. The Sandy deal was a $ thing. I actually lol'ed a lot back in the Sandmeyer days. He would fit in here perfectly. I'll send him an invite.

Sandy speaks like he's still a teenager and it's annoying. Reminds me of Kim trying to relate to the UW football players...

BTW----- Gastineau is one of the biggest dicks on planet earth. Ever. He was instrumental in the Sandy getting booted thing. When he came out with that book with fuck face Art Tiel whatever the fuck his name is about Seattle Sports, I actually got in on his show to talk supposedly about the dawgs, and asked him why a Hoosier transplant and Ty apologist should get a money grab on the Seattle sports scene---got the whole sentence out before he dumped me. It was cool.

I was a Twitter TUFF guy hiding behind a picture of Fletch when I told him to fuck off after he announced his retirement from KJR.

Fat fuck cut me off several years ago when I called about UW scheduling...something about Nebraska coming to Seattle the next year. Then he cut me off saying Nebraska wasn't coming and I didn't have a clue what i was talking about.

It's my own fault for calling in to a stupid radio show.

True story: in the spring of 2008 Gasbag and I had to be separated.

I was in a bar with a couple buddies. We bump into another friend of mine who happens to be with Gasbag. UW football is brought up and somebody asks if Tyrone deserves another year.
"Tyrone is a great guy and is so much more than a football coach" gasbag launches in.
"Really?" I said. "How about..." the kids he's fucked over. The players he's bad mouthed to pro scouts. How rude he's been to alumni and boosters.

"I suppose you think Don James is a saint?" Gasbag blusters. "I'm so tired of hearing about don James"

I hadnt mentioned James. It comes down to this, I said. Tyrone is phony and a poor football coach.

Your a racist! " gasbag shouts, moving towards me.
"Excuse me?" I'm easily 6 inches taller and in far better shape than the fat fuck.
"Your a racist!" He repeats. "Yeah a racist. I said it."
All I can do is laugh. The more I laugh, the more pissed he gets. He takes another step forward. "Really?" I said about the same time our mutual friend and another guy step in and separates us. Gasbag walks the other direction shaking his head and muttering under his breath.

A woman nearby asks, "what is his problem. Who does he think he is?"
"That's Gasman he's a sports radio DJ. Hes an ignorant mother fucker." another bystander says.
"He's a dick. I've never heard of him" the woman said. "You weren't even doing anything."

I saw Gastineau at the Aurora 7 11 when I stopped to buy some cigs after snorting some lines. I told him Ty sucks and he assaulted me. I kicked his ass and threw him off the Aurora bridge. True story.
