Show us the funny, Mike, cuz ain't no money. |
Catch up with Master Catherwood of Swole Patrol, a luminary on Twitter (Feb. 12, 2018) |
ORIGINAL REPORT
Radio's a tough business even with mental illness in hyper-competitive Los Angeles. |
It seemed odd when the nice woman spoke where normally Psycho Mike Dwight Catherwood is shooting off his rightwing, sexist, racist, I'm-trying-to-be-uber-PC-because-I'm-so-woke mouth.
It was a breath of fresh air. But after a few days -- and hearing Catherwood appearing in place of fired Ralph Garman on KROQ's morning zoo, "The Kevin & Bean Show featuring Allie," we got the picture: He's finally been canned from Dr. Drew's intelligent talk show on moderate-to-right radio station KABC 790 AM (no affiliation with ABC TV).
What has this dummkopf done now? What sexual harassment, phone stalking (sending filthy images to anyone with a number and no stomach for it), or sex crimes (like exposing himself) has he engaged in? The Garman Camp has kept the secret, leading us all to believe it was just a financial move.
But Catherwood is much less seasoned and much more suited to late night, "safe harbor," broadcasts than Garman or Drew. Something is afoot.
Drew surely needed a better host, and a female voice is always in order to balance out the excess testosterone roar and biased one-sidedness. We're not sure that we would have chosen Lauren Sivan (yawn), but it's a start. Now if Kev Dog and the Bean Man can hold on to Catherwood, he can bring back the abuse and risque elements missing ever since Garman got canned. Carry on, Mike. Why not bring "Loveline" back? It's got to be tough competing with 98.7 FM and the mighty Frosty Heidi & Frank on 95.5 FM.

COMMENTS
- Radio is a cruel place where many hosts complain about low pay, most except Mike Catherwood. He was sort of dingy but he was entertaining and it's sad to see someone you've become accustomed to get replaced without any explanation or fanfare.
- I don't care for the way radio talent is replaced without any fanfare or explanation... it's like the person never existed. It's cruel to the personality as well as their fans. Nice job there KABC.
- The person they should have gotten rid of is the stupid Jillian Bareberi. What a total idiot! She has zero knowledge regarding current events. She only knows what her Twitter feed tells her. Get her off the air.
- • So Sivan parlayed all of her "me-too" nonsense into a job.
- Mike Arebalo I'm deeply shocked that Mike is no longer on KABC. He always brings greatly needed humor to over-serious political radio. While I always like Lauren Sivan guest spotting, she doesn't bring an exciting dynamic to KABC like Mike did with Drew.

Thank you for finally posting something about Mike Catherwood. Totally agree with comments! Mike Catherwood was terrific and livened the show. Laura is boring and interrupts all the time. Not a fan. Very disappointed in KABC. You can't even get through to a voice there to complain or question the decision.
Laurn sucks!! Mike added so much more to Drew's boring calm personality. KABC sucks ass!
Can we get an update as to what happened to Mike to get him booted off the Kevin & Bean show?
Lauren KABC and Allie KROQ both suck Screw the PC jargon. Give me ranchiness back Miss it
