I listen to the Morning Rush every morning getting ready and going to work. This sucks. Of the local shows this had the best chemistry and I enjoyed it. I know they have their haters in this thread but I enjoyed the show. I now have zero reasons to listen to KXNO anymore.

Will be interesting if it is just Ross or if this is a purge of local programming like they tried to do a few years ago. They no longer have Murph and Andy's leverage to save them like they did last time this happened.
It almost has to be a purge. Unless there's some specific off-air thing Ross did.

Isn’t Primerica a pyramid scheme/MLM? Somehow makes that even funnier
I almost got tricked into the whole Primerica scheme when I was 20 and still in college. Two middle-aged dudes came into the store I worked at in the mall and told me they liked my sales style and asked me to join them at a meeting to learn about an opportunity that could earn me six figures a year. I asked what it was and they gave me a bunch of vague answers about investing, etc.

Long story short, I went to the meeting, looked around the meeting room, noticed a bunch of people that I’d describe as the last people I’d take investment advice from, listened to a pitch about how we would give stock investing advice to people, get said people to also sign up for Primerica, then have them go out and give advice, and on and on. Even at 20 and eager to make money, at that moment red flags were everywhere for me. Afterwards my “recruiters” took me into an office and asked me to sign a contract and write a check for $500 to get started. I immediately asked, “Why am I paying you to work here? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?” They fumbled and stumbled over an answer, said that $500 would someday earn me $500,000 and blah blah. Even had a “vice president” come in and tell me how “rich” he was from Primerica (later in the parking lot he got into an older Taurus). I thanked them for having me out, but declined and walked out. They seemed pissed, but oh well. Such a scam.
