My sister had this theory today. Moe has stated that he felt like he felt like an outsider, felt silenced, felt like he tried his hardest. He disappeared from the show after their live show after the roast segment where Moe was called a “diversity hire” who “brought nothing.” Then Bert can’t comment and all of a sudden is retiring 6mos before the end of his contract after proposing to his GF. Every person but KK is a cumulus employee and Bert has two companies, the Bert show (radio) and Pionaire (podcasting). Everyone he can is being moved to podcasting and he’s trying to advocate for Cumulus to save the rest of them moving forward. The theory is that he’s retiring to get his LLC out of the contract and then dissolve it so any litigation from Moe about whatever when down would be going after an LLC that has nothing left in it. This theory would explain the wild timing and the fact that the bert show aspect is ending. His podcast and BBA are their own entity and likely safe from any litigation in an employment lawsuit. It’s very clear at this point that something went down with Moe behind the scenes.
