What happened to call-screener Matt, circa 2004?

[hk11]

Going back through the archives, 2004 specifically, part of the way through the year, call-screener Matt seemed to just disappear without any announcement. I thought this was rather odd as he and Tom seemed to get on really well - i was not a listener at this time during the shows history, sadly. Also, given that the previous call-screener, Dave, was given a  big send-off, it makes it all the more odd that Matt just seemed to fall off the face of the earth. Did i miss a show? Did i fall asleep during the big Matt send-off show? Of course shortly after, Mike arrived and everything was rosey, but i am just interested into why Matt disappeared.

Me, I wonder what happened to Steve.

I was listening to the post-marathon show from 2003 (which is incredible. 2 words: Shock Doc) the other day, and was also wondering what happened to AP Matt.

I'm with, Buff.

There was an official answer tonight from Tom. "[Matt] left the show."

I loved the story Tom told about AP Mike and Jon meeting for the first time

Don't remember this, but sounds cool. Care to describe, or maybe point me to the episode in which it was discussed?
