We hear your messages with Bitch At Rich!

In this debut episode of WEEI Afternoons, hosts Rich Shurtonleeve, Ken Laird, and Stiz Jackson reflect on their first week together, expressing gratitude for the camaraderie and energy they've brought to the show. The segment 'Bitch At Rich' features a series of humorous and heartfelt listener messages collected via the Odyssey app, including a fictional call from 'LeBron James Penis'—a running gag referencing a past on-air character—and a nostalgic story from Rich about passing out at a Boston bar during the BCN era, which led to a viral photo. Listeners also share their emotional highs and lows around Boston sports, particularly the Celtics' unexpected playoff run and the city's shifting relationship with winning. The hosts debate whether Boston fans have grown tired of constant championships, with Rich suggesting the city may need a break from winning to rekindle excitement. They also discuss the Patriots' resilience after a scandalous offseason, the transformation of former star Ted Johnson, and the cultural impact of sports parades. The episode closes with a playful exchange about the Greg Hill Show and a sponsor plug for Town Fair Tire.
