I still think Matt Cord is the coolest guy alive. He came to a middle school career day we had and I was starstruck. He complimented my Sum 41 shirt! He played dope music and I thought “The Work Release Program” was the coolest fucking name for a radio program that started during PM rush hour.

I called up when he got picked up by a new station (I forget - later evening IIRC - WMMR maybe?) just to say how nice it was to hear him back on the air. He did some segment where he’d play deep cuts off of popular albums and he played Under My Umbrella from Morning View for me. Super cool interaction!

He used to do evening's on WMMR before Jacky, then went to BEN for the morning slot, now he's been on WMGK after DeBella taking Debbi Calton's spot.

obligatory "I met him once and he was a dickhead story"

In his defense he was shitfaced and this was probably 15+ years ago at this point, but he was super trashed at a bar I worked at (that will remain unnamed). He was there with a woman who I assumed to be his significant other, and about an hour in the two of them got into a heated verbal argument and causing a giant scene. She stormed out of the bar, and Cord was so shitfaced he just sat at the barstool refusing to leave and clearly way too intoxicated.

We eventually got staff to escort him out but he started blocking the front door and refused to leave. He pulled the "do you know who I am" card and told us he'd shit on us on the radio when he's on-air next. He even pushed one of the security guys out of the door then stormed off.

In our establishment's defense, we did NOT overserve him he had 1 or 2 drinks at the bar, it seems as if he was hopping around and was pretty drunk we he had arrived.

I still don't hold it against the dude, we've all had shitty nights.
