The "Monkey Wrench" Incident
The show was pulled off the air on August 30, 2010 as Elliot spoke on the telephone with former Clear Channel employee, Jon Ballard, who was fired from sister-station WBIG-FM Big 100.3 earlier in the morning. The conversation abruptly ended when the show was pulled off the air and replaced with music, most notably, "Monkey Wrench" by Foo Fighters. The show returned the next day and Elliot blamed the incident on upper management.
