Who tf are we? Who the tf are you for asking?
To each their own. No one is making you listen to it.
Yes it’s a in studio segment they used to do before Beasley killed that off, fired Lockhart and now running rich out. I guess you can finally listen to joe from Malden call in to talk why the PP needs to shoot more like the 9 other sports shows. Riveting radio.
I don't need to hear Bruins PP talk but you're making it sound like they shouldn't talk any sports at all.
Haven’t listened to ’ZLX since I got XM radio, but I am saddened for Pete and Heather.

Haven’t heard any developments on the T&R contract story since last Friday, but I too worry that Rich is on his way out, and that would be a massive mistake.
As some you have mentioned, Rich is the heart and soul of the program. Not only does he do most of the heavy lifting/behind the scenes work, but he’s also a very loyal employee - after all, he essentially kept the show afloat during Fred’s many absences and personal struggles.
The only explanation I can think of relates to the mass layoffs of Sports Hub employees. Perhaps the station’s higher ups took exception to Rich publicly declaring that he would pay Lockhart’s salary? While I totally commend him for that decision, I could see why some empty suits in corporate would interpret that as an F you. But I’m just speculating.
Either way, it would be dumb for them to let Rich walk while simultaneously hitching their wagon to Fred… either keep both hosts or scrap the entire show. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Golden Knights Local Ratings Up Big - Hockey Report
Before the 2023-2024 NHL season began, the Golden Knights ended their relationship with their previous local cable partner, AT&T SportsNet, to move to a free, over-the-air partner with Scripps Sports, and so far, the move is bringing in extraordinary results. Through five regionally televised...

"With these results, along with more teams across different leagues moving to over-the-air partners amid the fallout of Bally Sports, we should only expect more NHL teams to join the Golden Knights in this process of leaving cable for free broadcast channels."

Might just be me but Fred sounds totally out of it today on the morning show. No Rich either. Fred sounds slurry and is all over the place.

Definitely worth a listen. I lol'd several times. Marchy was quite the first guest. Hope they can top it!
Pete always hits my funny bone on "X". Think this is going to be great. First one was.

Felger: PREACH BROTHER. Call NESN 360 to the carpet. He's channeled my hatred of the subscription world.
