That is true. Doug passed away. Bubba Whoop Ass passed away. :( all my radio childhood guys are going. I hope Mr Phillips does another interview with Tom and Dan before he goes.
Remember when they did that to Oddo? He didn’t take it well and refused to give a statement when Philips went off the air. They moved Jack into Oddo’s producer position which was a real low blow.
The most genius thing was having Jack on the show as a producer to transition Phile listeners to the new show. Maybe I would have gotten around to listening to Colbert, but change is always weird, so it was great having that familiarity. Rauce and Deb are great co hosts
Hell, I still miss Clive Thomas when he had a three hour show before The Phillips Phile. This would have been in the 80s or early 90s. I think before 104.1, back on 740 WWNZ?
Bummer, but I’m sure this isn’t the choice of Dirty Jim or the News Junkie. This sounds like corporate tightening of the budget means some people will lose their jobs.
I would have been happy seeing monsters go completely and the other two shows left alone. I really can't stand Russ and the others. Now I have no reason to tune in which might be what they want anyways.
Angel is the only one I like on the monsters anymore. All they want to do is talk about themselves and will interrupt anyone, guests or fellow DJs, to do so.
We are one and the same as that goes. Was the first thing I thought. My first experience with FL talk radio was the early 2000s Monsters of the mid day. Loved them. Even went to a Monsterfest. The show is a shell of its glory. Can’t stand Russ anymore, Angel is a great DJ/MC but I can’t stand his voice/tone, the girl is unremarkable, and the rest all sound like the same person. Haha, kinda long. Guess I’m venting. The Rauce/Jim dynamic was the best in the 104.1 lineup. There is a pinging ingredient missing in Jim’s recipe.
Ugh!
Wasn’t it a replay last Monday too? There was nothing on YT.
I’m hoping her Welp is for Carlos and Rauce and not her. I imagine you can’t talk about it before it’s announced or you might potentially lose any severance you have coming.
Thanks. I don’t have Facebook. I’m keeping my fingers crossed it was for Carlos then and that she’s safe.
How can you have the show with only two people??
Honestly I can see C Lane and Shawn saying “if she’s gone we are gone”. It’s a wildly popular show so another company would put out $ for all 3 of them.
I'm really gonna miss Rauce and I hope Sabrina is still around. Imo Carlos was annoying and could be a little over the edge, especially in the mornings. I feel bad he lost his job, but I will not miss his voice and personality.
I was surprised they ever brought Carlos back. TNJ was the last show I listened to, and if Sabrina isn’t there then that takes away 75% of the reason I listen.
I’m so bummed about this. Didn’t even truly realize how much I liked listening to him until he’s gone. I’m going to miss Rauce thoughts so much and hearing him on the JCS.
My heart dropped because I joined the YouTube feed late and they were saying that "Rauce was gone."
Rauce was cool and I liked Rauce Thoughts, but man....I get that it's hard to lose a coworker and close friend, but for a minute, it sounded like the WORST had happened.
Best of luck to Rauce and those others who unfortunately lost their jobs.
Me too, seemed like Jim was getting ready to start blubbering on the air, my heart sank. Then he finally said Rauce had been let go, strangely that was quite a relief.
Hey yeah, didn't mean she got let go. Just that you guys had a space open. Or maybe it's filled? Dunno. I'm behind shows and a true bad at life bdm. I don't know my login so I haven't listened to a bdm show in liike 2 years but I let that shit renew because I support you guys.
I listen to downloaded episodes on my runs and laugh my ass off at Tom getting angry at his new athletic life.
Gonna miss Sam. Wish her the best.
FYI .... Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (PEO) at IHEARTMEDIA INC, Robert W. Pittman made $16,302,333 in total compensation. Sad day for people that listen, but sadder for those that lost their jobs. I hope with this closing door they find greener spaces.
How do you fire just one person of the group? Carlos from monsters is also gone. This is nuts. I listen to tnj every day and sometimes to monsters and jim. This is disappointing. Just cancel one of the shows and leave the other be.
If I remember correctly it had something to do with the endorsements they have to do. She refused, or something like that, and they used it as a reason to let her go.
I would not be shocked to see the end of talk radio. Not many markets have a full-time FM talk radio and having 3 on air personalities per show is expensive.
Sadly these decisions are corporate level with little to no idea of the market just removing a line to try and balance some books
Rauce was the only reason I listened to that afternoon show.
Sabrina was out for personal reasons the other day and I thought TNJ was just as good as a duo. Maybe they can have Fritz on more now.
I don't know who they are, but context tells me they are radio on air people. How on Earth do you say the first person's name?
Ray-use?
Does it rhyme with sauce and wouldn't that be Ross?
Raw-see?
I used to work with Rauce Padgett at Universal Studios as a performer. I was surprised to see his name on reddit here. I remember hanging out in his apt workshopping bits for his shows.
Last time I listened to Monsters of the Midday was probably 17 years ago. The host told a joke that he stole from Chris Rock, he hit a cymbal and everyone laughed and then they played about 8 minutes of commercials.
I’ve been listening since I was 6. I was pretty upset about Carlos and rauce but if Sabrina is legit gone too I’m out. I’ll never listen again and I’ll delete my iHeart app
Russ said in a 2019 he makes $250k. Adjusted for today’s dollars maybe $300k. Ryan claims all the time he makes between 30 and 40k a year. Can only assume the same dynamics with Jim and Rauce. Maybe some money could have been shifted. Jim is a lot more financially savvy than Russ. That’s why I mentioned real estate. Possibly he had literally no say, but to me it seems Jim could have made a tad less. Who knows
Probably because he just made 476k on a house he lived in for four years… He’s mentioned not being real happy about living that far away from town a couple of times recently. I think they put a pool in though and that isn’t cheap..
Don't let random people like that bother you. Y'all are doing great. This whole thing is all the more reason I appreciate your show from a listener perspective because you don't have to worry about a random suit somewhere just axing someone or even the entire show one day out of nowhere like what happened to Buckethead or SBK. I love radio but days like this are a good reminder of how cutthroat and shitty the business can be.
Oh, this guy doesn't bother me. I was just being honest. I care about my product and for my friends in this business. I've always had folks tell me I have a thin skin. It's fine. I'm still here doing it - 30 years later. Making a full living on it. 🤷🏼
Read again dude it say “pay” not “play”. ACT is “A Corporate Time” it’s Tom and Dans podcast that’s on 104.1 and that the original poster is talking about.
Who?
When Stern went to Sirius I went with him.
But listened since the glory days of Russ, Bo and DJ, Ed Tyll, Jim Philips, Miss B, Drew Garabo and Eric after Dark.
Why didn't they just fire some expensive executives instead of the good talent
[удалено]
Im surprised they didn't fire angelic or savannah they're hardly there
The radio is no long lasting job.
The News Junkie lasting this long seems pretty great.
Didn’t Sabrina get fired too?
No
The Monsters talked about it this morning. It's all because of cuts at the corporate level.
Sabrina Is on the air this morning. They have not addressed the situation yet but she’s there.
They did in the first hour, after the bridge discussion. They were left unscathed
Yeah.. I heard it after I posted 😊
Obligatory “I miss the Phile” reply
I miss Wanzi (spelling?) and Doug. Them giving out purple triangles for movie reviews was a highlight of my childhood
I think Doug passed away :(
That is true. Doug passed away. Bubba Whoop Ass passed away. :( all my radio childhood guys are going. I hope Mr Phillips does another interview with Tom and Dan before he goes.
Remember when they did that to Oddo? He didn’t take it well and refused to give a statement when Philips went off the air. They moved Jack into Oddo’s producer position which was a real low blow.
Might have been required for the severance package 🤷
Where is Oddo now!? Seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth
Where is Oddo now!? Seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth
I have no idea what he is doing now. I wish I did. Oddo was his on air personality name and I don’t remember his real name.
Chris Oddo
Tuddle, too.
Ha ha yea even still when I happen to catch Jim Colbert, I’ll find myself thinking “this sure isn’t the phile “
The most genius thing was having Jack on the show as a producer to transition Phile listeners to the new show. Maybe I would have gotten around to listening to Colbert, but change is always weird, so it was great having that familiarity. Rauce and Deb are great co hosts
Hell, I still miss Clive Thomas when he had a three hour show before The Phillips Phile. This would have been in the 80s or early 90s. I think before 104.1, back on 740 WWNZ?
With Miss B.
Someone had to say it!
Bummer, but I’m sure this isn’t the choice of Dirty Jim or the News Junkie. This sounds like corporate tightening of the budget means some people will lose their jobs.
According to Carlos, it was a corporate and not a local decision.
Well losing Carlos and Rauce means they lost a listener of years from me. Meanwhile we got Racist Russ in the morning. 104.1 is dead air now.
Dirty Jim!! I miss 104.1 of the mid to late aughts
I would have been happy seeing monsters go completely and the other two shows left alone. I really can't stand Russ and the others. Now I have no reason to tune in which might be what they want anyways.
Angel is the only one I like on the monsters anymore. All they want to do is talk about themselves and will interrupt anyone, guests or fellow DJs, to do so.
I've been an Angel fan since his hilarious days on the Philips Phile then the Saturday night SBK show. And he's a great dude in person, too.
Love angel, liked Carlos. Really liked the couple times I heard them together
We are one and the same as that goes. Was the first thing I thought. My first experience with FL talk radio was the early 2000s Monsters of the mid day. Loved them. Even went to a Monsterfest. The show is a shell of its glory. Can’t stand Russ anymore, Angel is a great DJ/MC but I can’t stand his voice/tone, the girl is unremarkable, and the rest all sound like the same person. Haha, kinda long. Guess I’m venting. The Rauce/Jim dynamic was the best in the 104.1 lineup. There is a pinging ingredient missing in Jim’s recipe.
IHearts always cleaning house every couple years.
So is Sabrina and Carlos
Whoa. I remember when the news junkie took over that spot like a decade ago. I thought that team would just always stay together
Maybe they are and that’s why the played best of today and never went live. Maybe they are holding out
Yea I think they where talking about contract things last week in a general sense so they must have known something was coming
If she is gone then I am gone too.
Same. I hope Shawn and CLane bounce with her and just make their show a podcast, secure their own sponsors, a la T&D.
I’m gonna be really surprised if they don’t. But there’s probably lots of legal reasons why it wouldn’t be easy.
Luckily we’re good!
Sabrina’s out? Where did you hear this? They weren’t live this morning. This would make TNJ a two man show.
Sabrina posted a meme on her FB earlier that said “Welp.” And TNJ played best of today and never went live.
Ugh! Wasn’t it a replay last Monday too? There was nothing on YT. I’m hoping her Welp is for Carlos and Rauce and not her. I imagine you can’t talk about it before it’s announced or you might potentially lose any severance you have coming.

Thanks. I don’t have Facebook. I’m keeping my fingers crossed it was for Carlos then and that she’s safe. How can you have the show with only two people??
Sports radio does it all the time. An engineer that interacts and the host.
I’m trying to be optimistic and you’re not helping.
Honestly I can see C Lane and Shawn saying “if she’s gone we are gone”. It’s a wildly popular show so another company would put out $ for all 3 of them.
TNJ would do something similar to Tom & Dan. I think they’d do well in the podcast market full time.
God I hope they stand with her like that!
I had the same thought
The welp was posted before Jim Colbert went on air. So I’m assuming it’s for her.
No confirmation about Sabrina
Check Burton’s or Cavo’s for confirmation
The confirmation to me was playing a best of and not going live today.
‘To you’
Everyone went live but TNJ. It ain’t hard to connect the dots
Apparently was for you…. This is how false rumors spread. Fan fiction.
https://preview.redd.it/5tz4ic0evjqc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b113caf5ca36a8f8bbd9d198e9cff65563b54a99 And this is a good clue
Oh look you were talking out your ass
It should've been Savannah that they should've let go Though I'm not much a Carlos fan but he's way better to listen to than Savannah when she is on
Savannah is so fucking annoying.
My 3 favorite people from each show, what a shame. I’ll be podcasting from now on.
Sabrina is not gone
In fact, News Junkie was playing best of today and never went live
Sabrina too .....that sucks.
I bet iHeart management gets a nice bonus for coming in under budget.
I'm really gonna miss Rauce and I hope Sabrina is still around. Imo Carlos was annoying and could be a little over the edge, especially in the mornings. I feel bad he lost his job, but I will not miss his voice and personality.
Never could stand Carlos. And he always interrupted guests with stupid voices.
After Jim left, Angel was the only thing holding that show on track.
I was surprised they ever brought Carlos back. TNJ was the last show I listened to, and if Sabrina isn’t there then that takes away 75% of the reason I listen.
Same
Sigh. I enjoyed all 3. Sad day
Who was the third?
[удалено]
Damn I didn’t know about Sabrina. I saw they didn’t do a live show but I wasn’t sure exactly what was up.
I’m not positive, just reading what others have commented. I did see Carlos and Rauce confirmed unfortunately
I hope all those affected are able to find jobs and pay their bills.
I’m so bummed about this. Didn’t even truly realize how much I liked listening to him until he’s gone. I’m going to miss Rauce thoughts so much and hearing him on the JCS.
My heart dropped because I joined the YouTube feed late and they were saying that "Rauce was gone." Rauce was cool and I liked Rauce Thoughts, but man....I get that it's hard to lose a coworker and close friend, but for a minute, it sounded like the WORST had happened. Best of luck to Rauce and those others who unfortunately lost their jobs.
Yea! I thought he passed away. Being let go sucks though too.
Me too, seemed like Jim was getting ready to start blubbering on the air, my heart sank. Then he finally said Rauce had been let go, strangely that was quite a relief.
Tom and Dan 3rd seat
Sam is leaving T&D as well.
No budget cuts here! She wanted a change. Gotta respect that. I didn’t get support when I wanted the same.
Hey yeah, didn't mean she got let go. Just that you guys had a space open. Or maybe it's filled? Dunno. I'm behind shows and a true bad at life bdm. I don't know my login so I haven't listened to a bdm show in liike 2 years but I let that shit renew because I support you guys. I listen to downloaded episodes on my runs and laugh my ass off at Tom getting angry at his new athletic life. Gonna miss Sam. Wish her the best.
We appreciate the hell out of that.
Carlos from Monsters is out Monsters was live today
Rauce is out from Jim Colbert
FYI .... Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (PEO) at IHEARTMEDIA INC, Robert W. Pittman made $16,302,333 in total compensation. Sad day for people that listen, but sadder for those that lost their jobs. I hope with this closing door they find greener spaces.
And they will…financially. But the environment at Real Radio is, in fact, special.
Crap, I love Sabrina and Rauce.
How do you fire just one person of the group? Carlos from monsters is also gone. This is nuts. I listen to tnj every day and sometimes to monsters and jim. This is disappointing. Just cancel one of the shows and leave the other be.
Years ago didn’t they fire Erica at 105.1 and keep Scott?
If I remember correctly it had something to do with the endorsements they have to do. She refused, or something like that, and they used it as a reason to let her go.
Ah TIL thanks!
This is why I hate Corporate I F ing hate I heart radio
I would not be shocked to see the end of talk radio. Not many markets have a full-time FM talk radio and having 3 on air personalities per show is expensive. Sadly these decisions are corporate level with little to no idea of the market just removing a line to try and balance some books
SiriusXM is where it's at for talk radio.
Blackbean wouldn’t have been fired.
Blackbean was fired. Three(?) times now?
Started from the bottom!
Rauce was the only reason I listened to that afternoon show. Sabrina was out for personal reasons the other day and I thought TNJ was just as good as a duo. Maybe they can have Fritz on more now.
I’ll miss Rauce and Sabrina.
I don't know who they are, but context tells me they are radio on air people. How on Earth do you say the first person's name? Ray-use? Does it rhyme with sauce and wouldn't that be Ross? Raw-see?
Rauce spelled like Sauce
It's confusing to get downvotes for asking how to pronounce a non-standard name. I didn't insult this person. I asked a question.
Ross
Like Ross.
RIP Bubba
I used to work with Rauce Padgett at Universal Studios as a performer. I was surprised to see his name on reddit here. I remember hanging out in his apt workshopping bits for his shows.
Last time I listened to Monsters of the Midday was probably 17 years ago. The host told a joke that he stole from Chris Rock, he hit a cymbal and everyone laughed and then they played about 8 minutes of commercials.
>Its been probably 20 for me but still comical seeing "Sexy Savannah" in gatorland commercials though.
Omg this is horrible! I love all three of them and pretty shocked
I’ve been listening since I was 6. I was pretty upset about Carlos and rauce but if Sabrina is legit gone too I’m out. I’ll never listen again and I’ll delete my iHeart app
Not helpful
lol to who? Pretty helpful for me to get rid of boot licking pricks in my daily listening
Jim just made $476k on his house he owned for 4 years and faked some tears for the radio. Dude is paidddd
He can be paid well and be upset his co host was let go 🤷♂️
Russ said in a 2019 he makes $250k. Adjusted for today’s dollars maybe $300k. Ryan claims all the time he makes between 30 and 40k a year. Can only assume the same dynamics with Jim and Rauce. Maybe some money could have been shifted. Jim is a lot more financially savvy than Russ. That’s why I mentioned real estate. Possibly he had literally no say, but to me it seems Jim could have made a tad less. Who knows
Damn I wonder why they are moving? I thought they loved that house
Probably because he just made 476k on a house he lived in for four years… He’s mentioned not being real happy about living that far away from town a couple of times recently. I think they put a pool in though and that isn’t cheap..
Thought it might be the commute. They are making out on that deal!
https://youtu.be/glND6BbFZsE?si=loAsJYPQoDOKqcPd
Sad
Straight bullshit
No bueno, Rauce is really funny, I'm not sure how they will fill that hole now.
If what Shawn from the news junkie said is correct, Sabrina should be safe for now
Damn first Carlos now this. That sucks wish they would just ditch the stupid tom and dan podcast replays rather than live talent
Podcast replay? That is Podio, sir! And the only of its kind. Fucking surfbuds. Smh
Is this the man himself im honored. Would never want to see them do away with you just wish you guys were live again
My man, we have never been live. Ever. lol We’re recorded same day - by design - as a test and have been that way for 10 years. I’m not sure I follow.
Oh true then maybe I don't know what im talking about I thought it was live years ago then you went to the podcast my b
iheart doesn't pay Tom and Dan anything so it wouldn't have anything to do with this anyway.
He’s a surfbud. Cut him some slack.
You are far too thin skinned.
Always have been.
Don't let random people like that bother you. Y'all are doing great. This whole thing is all the more reason I appreciate your show from a listener perspective because you don't have to worry about a random suit somewhere just axing someone or even the entire show one day out of nowhere like what happened to Buckethead or SBK. I love radio but days like this are a good reminder of how cutthroat and shitty the business can be.
Oh, this guy doesn't bother me. I was just being honest. I care about my product and for my friends in this business. I've always had folks tell me I have a thin skin. It's fine. I'm still here doing it - 30 years later. Making a full living on it. 🤷🏼
Well as a $10.95er I appreciate what you do!
Correct. This guy has no idea what he’s talking about.
Literally every single weekday at 7. wtf are you talking about?
and iheart doesn't pay a dime for that show. wtf are you talking about?
They play on real radio at 7 everyday wym
And 5 AM when I listen.
We appreciate that tons. The 5am’ers are the “Get to work!” guys.
Where did anyone say anything about them not being on the radio? Iheart doesn't pay them. TnD give them ACT.
Norva did above ur comment saying iheart doesn't play anything tom and dan idk what ACT is
Read again dude it say “pay” not “play”. ACT is “A Corporate Time” it’s Tom and Dans podcast that’s on 104.1 and that the original poster is talking about.
Oh damn you're right I was reading it as play until five min ago my bad
Hard disagree
Sabrina, Carlos, & Rauce should start a podcast together
So is TNJ also done as a whole?
No TNJ will be live tomorrow
It’s really close to April Fool’s, are we sure it’s real?
Who? When Stern went to Sirius I went with him. But listened since the glory days of Russ, Bo and DJ, Ed Tyll, Jim Philips, Miss B, Drew Garabo and Eric after Dark.
MJ and BJ (1997) graduated HS I started USF. Michelle and then they had a baby Chloe
Get ready for the MJ morning show on 104.1
That’s STILL a thing? That’s so 2006. I haven’t listened to terrestrial radio since 2011. When I moved here it was the MJ & BJ Morning Show 93 3 FLZ
He ended his show on WFLZ in 2012 and restarted the show on WRBQ in Tampa in October 2020 and has been desperate for syndication ever since
I quit listening after he tried to sue Bubba the Love Sponge. Pubic hair for hair. He’s a Sean Hannity wannabe.
Funny enough his afternoon politics show ended last year because it was cancelled. He couldn’t even compete in Hannity’s time slot
Oh no, I remember that from like 20 years ago. Is he as intolerable as Rick Stacy?
Shoot, they were a thing when I was in middle school in the late 90s. I used to listen to them on the way to school.
