The 15

Well, thus ends the most popular morning sports radio show in America. (citation needed) Charles de Gaulle famously said, “the graveyards are full of indispensable men.” The same applies to regional radio programs. If we are to sensibly assume that none of the 2nd, 3rd, or 7th bananas on that program will get the promotion to Rich’s plain black seat (Sorrey Wallach, O’Brien, Lockhart, & Gemelli), who will the station pair up with Fred? Here are some suggestions:

Toucher and Dick(erson) – He’s available, and more dependable than Fred.

Toucher and Upton Bell – Uppy can fill four hours of radio by himself with his impossible to verify stories of his own genius, Kevin.

Toucher and Mikey Adams – He’ll lock himself in the studio! Great stuff.

Toucher and Finn– two unhealthy-looking old pale bearded guys are better than one. Plus the Globe would definitely let Chad keep his media critic job.

Toucher and Cam in Taunton – He’s been auditioning for eight years! C’mon!

Toucher and Liz Walker – Issues affecting Boston’s disenfranchised communities and zany sports bits featuring WALLDICK.

Toucher and That Young Fella (Mark Dondero) – You can’t discount someone Felger nearly remembered the name of.

Toucher and Artificial Intelligence – Fills the void Boston morning radio has had since Carlos the Computer died during Y2K.

Toucher and Rear Admiral – Codependent Co-hosts, khed! You all right?

Toucher and Brandon Meriweather – 98.5 would regain the lead over WEEI in hiring incoherent former Patriots players. Big Bang Clock!

Toucher and Meghan Ottolini – She’s wacky and gawky! Some of which make for great radio!

Toucher and Gary Tanguay – Pro: Like Dickerson, available. Con: would probably be called ‘Toucher and Bad Toucher’ behind their backs.

Toucher and Plain Black Hat – Just one of Rich’s plain black hats. Would increase station diversity!
