'Hate Boston' List: Don Geronimo Rips Trio For Website Posting

R-A-D Show

As a response to the news that Rod, Arnie and Dawn syndicated show had been pulled from active rock KRXQ 98.5 FM Sacramento, Don Geronimo on crosstown Sportradio KHTK 1140 AM read their website statements during his show.

Rob, Arnie, and Dawn have been suspended for their insensitive comments regarding the tragedy at the Boston Marathon, and Thursday released a statement on their website, not apologizing for their actions, but claiming that they’ve done nothing wrong.

Furthermore, they blame Don for getting them in trouble, and Entercom for “bullying” 98 Rock for suspending them.

As Don reads their statement out loud (Click Here for audio), which, he says is full of lies and blames other people for their behavior, and also played clips from the R-A-D show Wednesday, in which they make fun of a spectator who had his legs amputated, rip the Oakland A’s fans who chanted “Lets Go Boston!” at the Coliseum Tuesday night, the Yankees for playing “Sweet Caroline,” and tease their “Top 5 Things We Hate About Boston” list.

Geronimo then went on an epic tear, ripping Rob, Arnie, and Dawn a new one for their hack show, their inexcusable actions, and then lying to everyone in their website statement, and not taking responsibility.

Previous Controversry

On May 28, 2009, Rob and Arnie engaged in a 30-minute conversation in which they described transgender people as "freaks," and "idiots."

Arnie said, "You know, my favorite part about hearing these stories about the kids in high school, who the entire high school caters around, lets the boy wear the dress. I look forward to when they go out into society and society beats them down. And they end up in therapy."

Arnie also said, "If my son, God forbid, if my son put on a pair of high heels, I would probably hit him with one of my shoes."

Subsequently, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and others demanded an apology. Arnie declined to apologize, on the grounds that he was joking and not actually advocating violence against children. He said, "I didn't do anything wrong."

In response to the controversy, Snapple, Sonic, Chipotle Grill, Bank of America, Verizon, Carl’s Jr, Wells Fargo, AT&T and McDonald’s pulled their advertising from KRXQ.

Rob and Arnie have subsequently apologized for their remarks, and hosted an on air discussion with members of the gay, lesbian, and transgender community.
