Discuss kicking a former accomplice whereas he’s down.
A gloating Fred Toucher took a victory lap a day after his ex co-host Wealthy Shertenlieb — who Toucher known as a “backstabber” — misplaced his job.
Boston radio listeners had a sense that Toucher would go off on Tuesday after Shertenlieb’s 100.7 WZLX present was canceled, and Toucher actually didn’t maintain again.
“Very exciting news,” Toucher mentioned throughout his 98.5 The Sports Hub morning present “Toucher and Hardy.”
“I’ll be completely honest with you, I’m very happy that that’s over,” Toucher mentioned of Shertenlieb’s canceled present. “I’m not surprised, and I’m very happy because I feel like he’s a backstabber and does not tell the truth, and is not loved by his fellow employees certainly here.”
After lower than half a 12 months, the Wealthy Shertenlieb Present on 100.7 WZLX has already been canceled. Shertenlieb made the announcement on Monday as iHeartMedia makes cuts throughout the board.
Shertenlieb, who was on 98.5 for a few years earlier than splitting up with Toucher, launched the sports activities present on the traditional rock station in Might — together with co-hosts Michael Hurley, Ted Johnson and others.
The scores for Shertenlieb’s new present at WZLX ended up being brutal.
“After five months, The Rich Shertenlieb Show will no longer air on WZLX,” Shertenlieb posted on Monday. “To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement.”
“… Just over two months into the show, management decided to alter the format,” he added. “They wanted music, I did not. However despite my disagreement about the decision, I agreed to move forward and music was added… Thank you to iHeart for the opportunity. Just because we didn’t have the same vision doesn’t mean I don’t thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a chance to assemble the team I’ve always wanted to work with.”
Rob “Hardy” Poole joined Toucher within the mornings after Shertenlieb left final 12 months. Hardy throughout the present on Tuesday mentioned he doesn’t need anybody to be out of a job, “so I can’t say that I’m happy about it.”
Toucher in response mentioned, “Well to my understanding, he (Shertenlieb) tried to maneuver it to get me out of a job.”
Hardy responded, “Exactly, so that’s why I say you have a different history and a different mindset when it comes to that.”
Toucher claimed that he wouldn’t have mentioned something about Shertenlieb on Tuesday if his assertion confirmed that he realized “any humility.”
“Like if he had learned anything from this experience,” Toucher mentioned. “Like don’t backstab your friends, don’t be a snake, talk to people to their face, don’t lie about how you got into a situation. But there was no transparency, and it’s just still the same garbage. It’s everyone else’s fault… lies, lies, lies. Like it’s just nonsense. And you know, I can’t imagine he gets another job in the market, so I’ll never talk about him again.”
Shertenlieb’s present on the traditional rock station was the third sports activities speak morning present available in the market — attempting to compete towards 98.5’s “Toucher and Hardy” and WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show.”
“The whole concept behind it (the show) was horrible,” Toucher mentioned, including, “He, according to the ratings, alienated their entire existing audience and brought no one from the old audience with him, which is you know this ego and lack of humility to recognize your weaknesses.”
