On Gene “Bean” Baxter’s final day on the air at KROQ as part of “The Kevin & Bean Show,” emotions were expected to run high, and did — but maybe not quite in the w…

alumni. It came up, in jest, that maybe they’d be hearing from “the Poorman” next — in jest because Trenton’s firing was an ugly one, involving Bean in a big way, and landed in court in the mid-’90s, with the radio station prevailing.

“Hey, Kevin & Bean, it’s the first time I’ve been on KROQ in 26 years,” Trenton declared. Things quickly took a turn as Trenton was introduced over the air to Carolla, “the man who had you fired so he could steal your radio show” — a tongue-in-cheek reference to the comedian becoming co-host of “” in 1995, a couple years after the Poorman was fired from the show he co-created. “Thanks a lot, Adam,” Trenton said, with no apparent tongue in cheek.

Trenton responded, “Well, Bean, I’m sorry about that, honestly. But i didn’t give out your address. I told people to go to the radio station and caravan with me, so we had a caravan of 500 people that came to your house. So I didn’t give out your address…” Kevin Ryder responded, “Let me just say this: they were coworkers and you knew them, and they had the key to your place. It’s different than bringing 500 listeners to somebody’s house.”

Then Carolla jumped in, still stuck on the $180,000 revelation. “Also, Poorman, you got a buck-eighty? They started me at 65!” He demanded to get the former program director on the phone/ “He told me Poorman was making 60!”Carolla: “I know, I know. That’s why I’m coming on 30 years, because that’s how it works.

“Yeah, and back at you, my man,” said Trenton. “And you have an invitation to come on my radio show.”

GLAAD: LGBTQ Series Regulars on Broadcast TV Hit All-Time HighThe percentage of LGBTQ series regulars on broadcast television in the 2019-2020 season has reached a record high of 10.2%, according to GLAAD’s annual “Where We Are on TV” report… I feel like if you count screentime, love interests and etc, it's still fairly low because I HAVE NO GOOD GAY SHIPS TO SHIP RN But tv writing in general is at an all-time low. Maybe try prioritizing the writing and let 'representation' come naturally. Quality over quantity. Note to GLAAD and - The ratings of NCIS: New Orleans declined when they made one character a lesbian. Only 2-3% of people are LGBT. Hollywood is brainwashing America.
