98.5 The Sports Hub’s Fred Toucher on Wednesday commented on the speculation that Rob “Hardy” Poole will be his co-host on “Toucher and Rich,” while a 98.5 guest gave some insight into whether Taylor Swift will be at the Patriots game this weekend.
Toucher during Wednesday’s show read the Boston Herald’s story about Hardy filling in on the morning show earlier this week. Hardy, the third chair on the midday show “Zolak and Bertrand” who is key for show production, has been rumored as the replacement for Rich Shertenlieb on the morning show.
In the Herald’s report, midday host Scott Zolak poured some cold water on how the morning show went with Toucher and Hardy earlier this week. Zolak called Toucher and Hardy “very similar,” like “vinegar and vinegar” on a salad.
Toucher responded to Zolak’s comments, emphasizing that it would be a promotion for Hardy if he got the morning show position.
“Don’t you have to at least pretend to be happy for him? Like if he was to get the job?” Toucher said. “Like even if it annoys you that he was leaving the show, you would have to be happy for him because he would be making, you would figure, more money than he makes now.
“And now the guy’s got 75 jobs, you would figure that he would not have to do any of those jobs anymore,” Toucher added. “His lifestyle — even though he would have to get up in the morning — would improve greatly. You would have to at least pretend to be happy for the guy, even though it might annoy you, you would have to pretend.”
Kendra Middleton, who makes regular appearances on “Toucher and Rich” and has interviewed for the open position, was filling in on Wednesday.
“If I were Zolak, I’d be doing the same thing,” Middleton said. “Hardy is a great talent. He does so much for that show. The production he puts into it.
“I love listening to that show, so it would be a loss for them, for sure,” she added. “So if I were Zolak, I would be like no, I would call dibs.”
Middleton then asked Toucher who he wants as his co-host.
“Between you and Hardy,” Toucher responded to Middleton.
