We’ve heard about this kind of thing before. But this one goes on for almost 12 minutes and you have to wonder if he’s not only lost his job but killed his career. I’m not quite sure about the background of all this, but a guy named Kirk Minihane worked for all sports station WEEI in Boston until Wednesday. He was once #1 in the ratings but after a series of disputes with management and an apparent suicide attempt, he'd been off the air since last August.
Apparently, he was fighting with them for months over a variety of issues and 20 minutes after he was officially let go, he Periscoped a live profane rage-fuelled rant from a local drug store, denouncing the “fucking assholes” at Entercom and going from there.
“I don’t know what the next move is going to be but, but I’m just relieved. And I have nothing good to say about the place I was just at.”
"My radio life is over," he admits at one point.
It’s not often you see a guy self destruct in front of your eyes. You can watch it here.
