@kroq @alliemackay @JensenKarp @kroqkom @kroqbeermug @Old_Man_Ruben @destinymlopez Why did @kroq fire all of us on the morning show? I assume it’s the ratings, which were down. The economy because it’s down. But it’s a pretty crappy way to treat people. We’re humbled by you spending any time w us. THANK YOU. (Going to sleep for about a week :)

It’s the connection. Rick Carol built KROQ to be unique, and listeners felt deeply connected. Entercom/Audacy made it generic. People don’t respond to generic. “What’s wrong with KROQ 106.7 FM, and what can be done to fix it?”– Orange County Register

Bob Saget was an amazing human. His level of fame can be incredibly isolating, but not for Bob. He suffered more loss than anyone should during one lifetime. But He always loved ❤️ He always smiled ❤️ He was relentlessly positive ❤️ When I grow up, I wanna be him. RIP #BobSaget

Time to take the flag back. It’s been used to show Trump support, division, and defiance. But it’s always meant equality, and freedom. Although we’ve taken a few steps back, now it’s time to rebuild society so the flag means the same thing to everyone! :) #BidenHarris2020

ASK YOUR DR ABOUT THIS. Things I was told about recovering from Covid at home. 1) Always sleep on your stomach. Keeps liquid from gathering in lungs. 2) Have a thermometer to keep track of temp. 3) Buy an oxygen saturation monitor. If oxygen gets below 90, contact a Dr.

My 2 cents Mike Kaplan is irrelevant. The parent company, Audacy, looks at itself as all that matters. They see KROQ as a tiny Lego piece that’s only job is to help hold them up. That’s the exact opposite of what made the station unique.
