- T&R’s Fred Toucher goes off on WEEI’s Kirk Minihane! & Was Awesome! 👏😂 From 5.9.2018
Toucher & Rich Wednesday morning was EPIC! Fred gave what Kirk DEF DESERVES! & WEEI in general! Dropping in ratings (3rd! As Rich kept saying! lol!) I know for a fact 60+ year olds listen to WEEI...MUCH YOUNGER LOVE & LISTEN TO T&R & 98.5 The Sports Hub!
PLUS, THEY ACTUALLY TALK SPORTS AND ARE FRIGAN HYSTERICAL! Period!
Even though they (Fred & Jon Wallach take the Lord’s name in vein WAY TOO MUCH! & Fred can stop being so gross re: sex! As a woman who loves the show? FIND IT DISGUSTING!)
I still watch/Listen b/c more HYSTERICAL AND SPORTS THAN ANY OTHER STATION LOCALLY, PERIOD!
Keep the laughs & sports coming guys! 😎👏🏀⚾️🏒🏈
Thanks! LOVED THIS RANT WHICH IS MUCH DESERVED!!!!!👏👏👏👏❤️
I remember watching this live, and think I still have it on DVR
If you haven't seen the video of Minehane protesting Felger: go watch it. About halfway through: Scott Zolak comes flying in in his Tahoe, horn blaring, and screaming at Kirk: "Get the f**k out of the way, a**hole!" Funniest stuff I've heard.
The funniest thing is that they’re good friends. Zolak listens to Kirk’s podcast all the time, same with Jim Murray.
I listened to this segment live as I was sitting at a gate in Logan waiting to fly to Toronto, thinking Fred was talking nonsense again...only to find out in hindsight he absolutely NAILED this take lmao
Think about it.. Fred said their ratings were in a free fall and they wouldn’t recover, that was correct. Fred said Kirk would be fired by the end of the year, Kirk left for mental health reasons and never returned. He said the show would be cancelled, it was not long after. He said Kirk wouldn’t be back on the radio maybe get a job with Barstool, that’s exactly what happened.
John Dennis, Gerry Callahan and Kirk Minihane GONE!!! They had to lure the morning guy from WAAF the go to WEEI what a crap radio station WEEI is they have switched around their shows so many times it's not even funny. Toucher and Rich are #1 in Boston
Though I do think Toucher is an a-hole at times, his chewing of Kirk was well deserved.
It’s hilarious looking back at this how right Fred was 🤣 the show failed, Kirk went to Barstool and still somehow WEEI still sucks lmfao
What’s also funny is that Kirk and Fred are friends now.
I love Fred’s rant and he’s right they been around forever and they haven’t missed a beat I love it there a good blend and Fred’s humor and sarcasm is the best I love it f$& ng dude
Fred was right with this take
Except Kirk is wildly more successful on a national/local level 😂. Barstool overtook WEEI, no one under 50 listens to WEEI unless the Bluetooth isn’t working in their car
The funniest thing is that now Kirk and Fred get along well. Kirk mentioned on his podcast that they patched things up and has defended him several times for heat he has gotten. It’s also amazing that Fred knew that Kirk would get canned because of Bob Murchison, the moonbat activist who targeted and harassed the advertisers of Kirk’s show because Kirk thought it was stupid that the parents of a child under 10 wanted their kid to have a sex change operation.
Blink182- After midnight in the background makes this so sentimental
They called it!!
Wow after going back to this, Fred was completely right
A year later and he literally couldn’t have gotten this more right.
Actually you’re very wrong, kirks got an amazing job & podcast at barstool now, so ya Kirk wins
I never said he didn’t win. Kirk’s doing great, but Fred’s still right. He’s out of the industry and went to Barstool.
Kirk wins because he has a podcast? Who doesn’t have one now a days
matthew .larsen Yea, you’re right. Terrestrial radio is booming these days. Are you 70 years old?
@@a.d.7117 Great show the show is falling on its face what are you talking about?
Get some pasta Joe videos pleaae
TheHipHopSpot T&R are no longer simulcasted! Hate it!!!!!!! Since July!!! Think cause Fred didn’t wantvto worry about looking HALF ALIVE ANYMORE! Hence how he looks on their Instagram/twitter box stupid bike thing yesterday video! Mid life crisis for Fred I think lol! Sry! Hate they chose not to stay on air! N I think part reason not bragging abt top ratings lately! BAD CHOICE!
If you want to SEE THEM AGAIN? They’re now using Twitch to show their Radio show ... link here... www.twitch.tv/thesportshub/videos/all
this needs to come back to tv
You can watch them on Twitch from 6-10AM @ The Sports Hub. Check it out if you truly want to see them again.
@@SoxPatsFan74 how much is twitch?
Twitch is an App for your smartphone & it’s on desktop too I think. FREE!! Just download Twitch app & create profile info… then search for THE SPORTS HUB & you can watch replays as well!! They even go live for the Adam Jones show 6-11pm when no bruins/Celtics aren’t on 98.5. Hope this helps. IT IS FREE!! 😎
TH-cam now
Merge the two networks. Put Keefe and Callahan on the same show. Put Merloni on Sox coverage, Fauria on Pats coverage, and FIRE KIRK, ORDWAY, AND ARNOLD NOW!!!
I like Rich Keefe too much to subject him to Callahan
Ordway and Arnold might get canned soon because Entercom is falling apart. Kirk will never be back on talk radio. He got cancelled because a moonbat activist targeted and harassed his show’s advertisers all because Kirk thought it was stupid that the parents of a child under 10 wanted their kid to have a sex change operation. That activist still listens to Kirk’s Barstool show daily and sends out-of-context clips to advertisers in an attempt to get Kirk fired.
No thanks
Fred knew.....
Came for this content!
You can now watch them on Twitch.tv!! Link & see recent broadcast stays up... 😎

@@SoxPatsFan74 you suck and this show is worse
That his sports takes are sooo bad (I think Rich would agree) & his on air talent can't come CLOSE to Kirk's?
Is this when eei got Gregg Hill the hill man . I only listen to them in commercials
They refused to go woke. And wouldn’t shut up. Neither would I. And Kirk would kick his ass up and down Birmingham. Howard Stern??? He’s become an embarrassment
I bet that Talkers Convention was a fucking blast!
“I’m speaking at the talkers convention”. What a tool
Fred is the man
Fred's good. Kirks good. But listening to radio insiders means nothing from rating standpoint. It's about being on clock. Not ruffling feathers. Kirks right when he says these constant interviews are crap. Haters gonna hate.
Fred always speaks the party line never strays
Can't believe I actually miss john den..........nis.......haha no I dont
This thing needs way more context written in the description. I mean yeah, he's obviously going off on Minihane, but after what?....
kitrick42 When this aired? IT WAS OUT OF THE BLUE= WE GOT ZERO CONTEXT BEFORE HE WENT OFF! Obviously we all caught on as you listen/watch entire thing!! This happens! Not my fault audience got ZERO Heads up prior to this! Sorry! Fred is a rare bird to say the least. LOL TY for the comment!
Kirk beat them for years
Felger said some insensitive stuff about Roy Halliday dying in a plane accident so Minhane protested outside 98.5 for Felger to be fired and then bitched about 98.5 because they had nothing better to do. Now Kirk and Gerry both got canned
Mike Jennette that’s actually the worst description of what happened I’ve ever read.
@@Titleist24 I suppose it's hard to read when you're that far up Kirk's a$$...
Just as relevant today in 2019. 1 year later, Kirk is gone, Callahan is gone. Spring book just came out. T&R #1, 'EEI #5. Fifth place. FIFTH!!
Let me guess, WROR, Kiss 108, and Hot 94.5 were ahead of them.
if you lose the 2 best radio guys in Boston...of course the ratings are going to suck Dennis and Callahan and Minihanne was simply the best radio ever...could never listen to Toucher and Rich..too afraid I was going to miss something ..with all the craziness that was going with WEEI morning show..from ...the moment I woke up in the morning until the moment I got out of my car at work..I was glued to Kirk..Callahan and Dennis and Curtis and lets not forget Tanguay...you never knew what was going to happen and that was its appeal..but ...this craziness along with egos that was its success also led to its downfall...but while it was there..simply the best radio ever..
@@carlton4129 if they were the best radio, why were they getting killed by 98.5? You don't lose/ fire guys if you're winning
@@mikeking1948 you would think?..some of the best movies failed to draw at the box office..while some of the worst critically acclaimed movies became blocbusters..Dennis and Callahan rule the Boston airwaves for many years..its demographic tended to be a little older and after many years was getting a little stale..then 98.5 who already had a younger base because of its former format decided to switch to sports...so yes being new and appealing to a younger audience that were beating WEEI...but ...then along came Kirk and things started to change..and ...then ...the Kirk phenomena started to explode and WEEI started to win the ratings book...but Kirk rubbed people the wrong way... first John Dennis..others at the station including Callahan and then a major no no ..the advertisers..the radio show itself was absolutely nuts and totally unpredictable making it the best radio ever
Mike King K&C dominated ratings for a 2 year period. T&R won one weekly hahahaha
Kirk and Callahan was better than T&R ever was. Sad Murchison ruined legendary radio, because liberals get offended by everything. Kirk is clearly more talented than Gerry too, Fred was just incorrect about that
Agree.
Fuck off Conservative douche.
@@notoriouseagle1074 Kirk isn’t conservative dumb dumb. Stick to T&R and their hypocrisy
You couldn’t be projecting harder if you tried. Trumptards/conservatives can’t help but make absolutely EVERYTHING political. Constant bitching and moaning
@@samsepiol05590 what’s projecting? You know the story right?
And here we are in 2022, Kirk minihane is a bigger star than Fred toucher ever wishes he could be
huh?
Lol. Wrong. He is a Portnoy charity case.
Who did fred talk to. Cause he knew an rumour has Entercom did try to hire fred toucher. But to co host with greg hill on weei
Kirk and Callahan were #1 when their show was at its peak, which is why t and r hate them, they feared them, and got beat by them in multiple books in 2017
In Boston alone Kirk and Callahan rarely ever beat T & R they used a cumulation of ratings from their FM, AM, and ratings from outside of the market. As Fred and Rich accurately mention in this clip they never beat them in the most important demographic of younger listeners. It was always complete crap that Kirk and Callahan were beating them in the ratings that’s why neither are on WEEI anymore and that’s why Kirk is at Barstool.
@@MCallanan drinking the kool aid still.......thats such a lame argument. Its listeners.
@jeff marks it’s not an argument it’s the way the ratings are recorded which is why the only people saying that Kirk and Callahan were winning the ratings were Kirk and Callahan and their fans. Regardless, at the end of the day, not matter what metric you use T&R won.
Turns out Minnahane wound up doing ok for himself at barstool
That was a classic rip, I forgot about this. That said, Toucher talking about how he knows everyone in the industry doesn’t stick as well since that’s the exact point that many of Kirks fans over the years despise about some of the insiders. Kirk got annoying but him and Gerry pushed a lot more third rail issues than any other show. People liked that they went after some of the awful writers at the Globe and garbage ESPN wokeness etc.
It’s clear to me the only way you can be a Kirk fan is if you have a missing chromosome or having a few extras hanging around
The people commenting "Fred nailed it!" are hilariously trying to rewrite history. The reason Fred went on this rant in the first place was T&R were consistently getting beaten in the ratings. Once D&C got a little energy injected into the show (Minihane) T&R fell pretty rapidly.
T&R didn't regain their footing until they were up against Mut & Callahan, not exactly O&A or Stern. Now that T&R "battles" Greg Hill everyday they are consistently in 1st place again. The moral of the story? T&R is a mediocre morning show that thrived vs no competition (like Ordway's Big Show). Once REAL competition showed up T&R took their rightful place as bad Morning Zoo. The best part? Minihane played this rant IN IT'S ENTIRETY the same morning Fred said it. Did Toucher ever acknowledge that? NOPE 😂😂😂 "corporate people"
Spotted Minihane’s burner account
Except Toucher was right.
They never once beat Toucher and Rich. The only one rewriting history is you.. fraud.
Pretty sure T and R have been the highest rated morning show for a while
I coulda told you he was an alcoholic back on bcn
Wallack's eyes at 4:53 haha
Hes an adult that's still babyish on the Mike radio call for games please. Get off the show
Whose show sucks now?
Kirky Sold out 2 shows at the Wilber hahahahaha
Kirk is trash
Is minihane on the phone or something?
Wow I never heard this he went to a dark place. Look at Rich's face
Definitely not the worse radio you ever hear🙄
Kirk Minihane might have a job with 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, NC
Toucher and Rich were better in afternoons on BCN. Change my mind.
you are right I forgot that
I was a day 1 listener on BCN, followed them to the hub. They were great on BCN, started out good on the hub but you can tell management cut their balls off. They are typical morning zoo garbage now, but they were the heir apparent to opie and Anthony before BCN went under. It’s unlistenable now.
Started listening 6/5/06. Still listening on twitch to this day.
Fred killed him and then it all came true
No and No. Fred sucks, kills nobody and Kirks show will be better than anything on either channel. Toucher and Rich are awful and boring.
timann80 😂😂😂
Hmmm not really
@@timann80 minihane burner?
I'm so happy that this show's not on CSN anymore
Wallach is USELESS and OLD... Crash, I miss CRASH
So what u doin?
These guys were better on bcn. On the sports hub they're the ones doing hack radio bits... Adlpho and crash were the funny characters. Now, it's three old guys sitting around, talking sports and telling hack dad jokes....
Fred toes the line and does what he is told. That is why he is still on
Aka his a huge kiss ass pussy and a puppet. Toucher and Rich is unlistenable it’s so fake and boring, Rich is a huge phony and a clear douche bag. Kirk destroyed these losers in the ratings for years. Hahahaha I’m speaking at the talkers convention wow who gives a shit dummy. I know people in radio, great burn. The numbers were reported every quarter and every quarter except maybe this one you guys lost and lied about it then interviewed the bruins 4th line for the next hour, zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Kirk is fuckin horrible... sorry was
@@nWoKilluminati wow, someone actually likes Kirk. I’ve seen it all
@@Kevin-qc6mt yeah i guess im not the only one dummy since his new podcast is #3 overall in the world right now and he was #1 on weei until a dbag activist got him fired cause he wouldn't agree not to talk about certain topics and censor himself. He leaves the station and they go from #1 to irrelevant now while he has 2 huge podcasts on barstool and has sold out the wilbur multiple times including their fastest sell out ever so yeah lots of us out there
@@nWoKilluminati you seem pressed. You might want to try using some commas and periods as well, it would make your gibberish much more coherent lol.
I like you Fred but, let's be honest, you have about 25-50 % of the on air personality/likeability of Kirk. From an impartial listener. It's not even close.
Ur fucking idiot... Didn't Kurt kill himself. Shortly after this... Fred is right on every point
@@elastic774 Fred sucks so bad. You'd have to be a moron to actually feel this way. Hes not one bit funny or interesting. Did you hear the live back and forth to this on K&C. They laughed circles around this pathetic "I Know people" rant. th-cam.com/video/qGHAzfD2Q6o/w-d-xo.html. Listen to this and weep. Kirk isn't on the air anymore because his content is too good foe shitty old FM radio. Seriously, Fred isn't close to as good as Kirk. It doesn't matter how long hes been on the air, Kirk is light years better.
Then why are T&R always first in the ratings no matter who they go against? Their show is original, funny, entertaining, and simply better than anything else out there. You don’t have to agree the but the vast majority of the market does.
@@GoldenKennyBania I'm fine with that. The vast majority in the market are not very intelligent. They are entertained by whatever the guy next to them is entertained by, no matter the content. Sports talk radio is more and more boring every day. When they try to be funny, they aren't. T and R are not stimulating or interesting, no matter what a bunch of morons are entertained by. BTW I've never met an Ian that was't a fucking tool bag. I suppose thats not your fault.
@@timann80 Sounds like you are real Mensa material yourself. Enjoy your daily NPR and TED talk stimulation. My pathetic little pea brain will continue to listen to Toucher and Rich with the rest of the dumb lemmings in the Boston area.
Fred is much better when he is funny.......
When was that guy ever funny?
Some truths, some false
Fred is king.
You can't puh-POO them!
Mumble and Mumble
Bird audio!
I stopped listening to weei when kirk left
Wow, this was long
T&R is my least favorite SportsHub show. They sound like drunk children in grown man bodies. EEIs morning show is more tolerable. Barely…
When in actual hack call someone else ahead of her that’s rich and
Fred Toucher got booed off the stage at the Wilbur at the Chip Chipperson show. He was that atrocious. That’s because a lot of the fans were O&A fans who know good radio. Fred was drunk during this dumb rant
Ironic considering the fact that O&A defended T&R on multiple occasions during their run.
Send it to Howard Stern
Fla Fla Flo-hi
I love when Fred gets on a rant. Its hilarious.
Check out his anti-twitter rant here: omny.fm/shows/toucher-rich-1/fred-toucher-goes-off-on-an-epic-twitter-rant
Freddy bringing the intense heat
Frozen Bananas lame
SOUR SHOES
He's not getting fired. If you don't like him that's fine but he's definitely not getting fired.
oh yeah?
tony e he WAS FIRED! It’s Mut & Callahan now... & can view T&R now on Twitch
www.twitch.tv/thesportshub/videos/all They wanted to use social more younger using platform thanntv so ppl can stream n watch where ever.
@@SoxPatsFan74He didnt get fired you fucking tool bag hater. They practically begged him to come back, but wanted to limit his subject matter. He simply wouldnt sign up for it. Get your facts right you ignorant hater.
This aged well
mattylaw192 ya actually he’s got a way better job at barstool now, way better than unfunny cringeworthy toucher & rich
Now Kirk has 2 podcast one which spent over a month on Apples top 20. While all of Boston radio is dead and their rating suck.
People saying “this aged well” are just weong
Fred touchole
Yea. I like Kirk and Fred. But Fred isn't being honest. It's not a stern rip off. He is diff. Guess what? Radio industry people said stern, o and a, were horrible. They were going to be fired. Bla bla bla. K&c were low. N now they are neck and neck. Read the numbers? Sports hub is on 1 frequency. Weei is on 3.
Radio .com u idiot
Still don’t like Kirt
Yeah Minihane sucks...
I feel bad for people who listen to 98.5 such garbage Dino Callahan and Kirk only listenable talent in Boston.
kirk's show is awesome
Kirk sucks
Sour, I want you to go to jail!
Wonder who has more of the “20 year old audience” now?? Lmao
Are you kidding me? 98.5 as a whole does a MUCH better job catering to that key demographic. If that's Barstool you're referring to, come on, people don't listen to them for Kirk. Think of all the personalities on that network, he's way down the list.
@@notoriouseagle1074 98.5 does a better job catering to that audience than BARSTOOL SPORTS? Its not 2013 buddy. Terrestrial radio is a dying industry. If Tucher and Rich started a podcast tomorrow like 2k people would listen. Thats the difference. I don't equate some umass kid having the radio on during his commute listening to 98.5 by default as "catering to that key demographic"
Kirk Min could ruin Touchers life in one day
Where..? From his big radio.com platform ?
Mark D actually he’s got a dream job at barstool, so Kirk wins again 😁
Chyyyaaaight
A.D. ya what happened there bud
Fred was right x2
Your going to be fired
Wow they had a bad hour of a show huh.... T&R have put out thousands of boring terrible hours of radio. They stink to the high heavens
Well dummy he didnt get fired but what happened to this TV show?
They're on Twitch now.
They chose to stop doing it. NBC sports Boston wanted 2 shows from 985 to simulcast. Opened the door for zolak and Bertrand simulcast
So do you just bash Trump so you can get 20 somethings and they can grow with your show?
Hahaha no one cares about radio tho
We can all agree that the pandemic absolutely fucking sucks. People who suffer from depression and anxiety like Fred does must have had a much harder time dealing with it than some of the rest of us. Get well and take care of yourself
Fred got a little carried away with the freedom that the Rona brought. The pandemic itself having an effect on him mentally seems like a way to attempt to explain that
@@IJamesCordenLoveMyWife I think that "Shooting The Breeze" was Fred trying to bring back the yucks to T and R after four straight months of Rich sounding the COVID 19 alarm bell for two breaks a show. Fred had a very hard time with all of this
Bob Walton shooting the breeze is excellent, and Fred is F’n hilarious. That being said my point stands
Bob Walton in light of his new post, “was I right or was I wro...ight?”
@@IJamesCordenLoveMyWife you were right but now we have Rich who literally can't get through the first five minutes of the show without talking about COVID 19 running the ship. I start work at 8 and always listen to the last two hours on my phone but not til Fred gets back!
And now you’re a mess Fred. You’re immature, you’re a kid Toucher!
Touched and Rich is another terrible radio show. I don’t know how people listen to this garbage.
It's better than the garbage on EEI.
Tocher and rick...worst show in am.
Best show by far
And now Kirk is more popular than ever. And this shitty show is no longer. Captain tough guy hahahah
No he's not he's a stoolie who nobody pays attention too. Fred gets more views than minihane even today.
@ ok Fred
@@Jamesrise6 ok Kirk.
Fred touch her is so cringey and lame
