For now, yes. I'd like to do it again in the future, but it was impossible to sync up schedules with those guys to record, and we just got out of touch. Hopefully I'll be able to get it off the ground again at some point, either with a new co-host(s) or a revolving cast of characters.

There is no way they can not fire him unless he was set up and it has to be somebody that was clearly out to get him. Since that isn't the case, he's gone its just a matter of when. It shows what a weasel he is that he's fighting this when he knows he's guilty or at least guilty by association.

They're losing a whole week of scouting at this rate so this guy can weasel an extra 50k out of his severance.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Impossible. When I said he wouldn't go easily and he and people who got him the job in the first place would put up a fight, I was told he would just have to leave. I assume this is fake news.

we knew he had giant balls with the way he took the job in the first place. He and his family have no shame. I would be surprised if this doesn't get ugly. What does he know that he can use to help him keep his job? If there is something, he'll use it.

There’s a difference between fighting for your job and due diligence. The reports say he’s going to be canned, but they’re letting the investigation wrap up. There is also the contract to be dealt with. So I still think you’re wrong, in that nothing he’s doing is making it difficult to get rid of him.

It sounded like more of a fight than due diligence because the guy said, "fight for his job." And that someone was fighting with him. I just don't think this guy will go as easily as you suggest. He might not have a choice if he goes, but he can make it much more difficult for them. This can get worse if he decides not to go quietly and he seems like that kind of guy.

Man you’re taking a lot out of that tweet. Of course he’s fighting for his job. But by all accounts the decision is made, they’re letting the lawyers do their job. Nowhere does it say there is some battle going on. Even his father is staying out of it.
