• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

RIP Rush

Twitter is a cesspool and I didn't even need to read the comments.

Stage IV lung cancer... If only he would have worn 4 masks, he might be with us today. 🙄

May God Bless Rush and comfort his family. His presence will be missed.
 
Think the 5 year survival rate is somewhere around 5%, and it is usually found so late that most don't get close to 5 years. Really painful way to go, too. Fuck that shit. Big loss...his voice will be missed.
Had a friend get it. She was in her 30s. We were at a party and somebody noticed her eyes were jaundiced bad. She went to the doc the next day. Found out. Had a couple procedures but she was dead in a little over a year. Cancer sucks.

Yeah, lost an uncle to pancreatic cancer in his 40s. He actually got better for awhile, but it came back. Just the fucking worst. We thank God he was spared alot of suffering in the end, by a pulmonary embolism...just peacefully went, lying down watching tv at home.
 
He was one of the last pure radio guys. He was as passionate about the format as he was the content. I think maybe Stern is all that’s left out of that class of people, at least on the big stage. I enjoyed listening to him from time to time, but I think what bums me out even more is there isn’t really anyone left who is looking to make it strictly through live radio. For almost everyone else on the airwaves it’s a stepping stone, not a home.
