Did anyone hear the F-bomb? I find it hard to believe that he was taking call live in this day and age without either a delay or recording them first. It just doesn't make any sense. Maybe he was pissed he didn't get Stern's spot? I know they were looking at him and I know they want to be local. Maybe they sent him off to hone his skills or work with someone else? who knows.
 
"Maybe they sent him off to hone his skills or work with someone else?"

Are you kidding me? The guy was never considered to replace Howard. Yes he was a little talented but could never be successful in the mornings. All of the potheads that listened to him are fast asleep at that time.

Well according to Lisa Woods blog it was a 3rd offense and I guess like a dog that will not behave, KISW had to send Ricker to the pound.

Forget Ricker's contract. The chick at night spends alot of time on the Hotline skewering talent who can't kiss the bosses ass. Black Widow! It happens. No wonder Steve Rock spent alot of time talking Foo Fighters in Roswell yesterday afternoon. Whoopeee!

KISW..the Rock of Sunnyside..

Speaking of which, I'm surprised that Iknowitall hasn't jumped in this thread(so far).<P ID="signature">______________
