Producer Joe fired from WGRD and FBHW show?

Post by MWmetalhead » Fri Oct 28, 2022 6:33 pm

The Free Beer and Hot Wings reddit page says he's gone for good. New domestic abuse allegations have come to light. His name has also been removed from the Compass Media Networks web page for the show.

There are hundreds of posts under multiple threads on the FBHW reddit talking about it.

I believe Joe was not on last Friday, as Hot Wings worked the trivia segment, which Joe usually works on Friday. Free Beer was off as well, so Kelly was hosting. So there’s that.

The (ex?) girlfriend alleging abuse is reportedly a personal friend of Kelly's.

The attorneys had their mitts all over that statement, without question.

By him quitting, he probably won't be owed severance. Of course, it's possible he was enticed with some $$$ just to make him go away.

At the same time, he won't have to tell anyone he was fired for cause, which would've been possible had he not resigned.

As a co-host do you think he will have opportunities for future employment in todays radio environment?

Maybe he can join the other rejected co-host on his pod cast. The Rejected Free Beer and Hot Wings Podcast, from the attic
