The show had aired weekdays from 6 to 9 p.m., following Paul Finebaum. On Thursday, WJOX instead aired a rebroadcast of Finebaum's afternoon show during McClearin and Harrison's time slot.
"I love what I do," McCleain wrote on his Twitter account Thursday evening. "Love it. Scot and I are no longer employed at JOX. We'll be alright and land somewhere! Thank YOU for giving us a shot!"

"JOX is a phenomenal station with a lot of talent, very thankful we were able to be a part of it for 3½ years, love my time here in BHam," McClearin wrote in another tweet.
McClearin and Harrison came to Birmingham and WJOX from Dallas station SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket in February 2013. Originally, they hosted a weekday show before moving into their evening time slot.

Although new to the Birmingham market, they developed a loyal following for their quirky, offbeat sports show, which also included such non-sports regular features as "Man Code Violations" and their "I Can't Believe You Haven't Seen That! Summer Movie Project."
On Twitter Thursday night, McClearin and Harrison received best wishes from many of their listeners, as well as previous guests on their show and some of the on-air talent at WJOX.
"I can only continually say thank you," McClearin tweeted. "I'm overwhelmed by your response. I thought it'd be a few and it's been over a thousand. Thank you."
