Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
I listen every day. For a week or two he was really into the show, now he's completely disappeared again. Ron really got on him toward the end of last week, he's just completely fed up with it you can tell. When Fez is "on" he's still fucking gold, but he's just turned into one big never-ending panic attack. I really think they will end it when their contract is up, Ronnie is too good an interviewer, he can do whatever he wants. Fezzie is just dead weight now, and even the mgmt is starting to make comments...

Rob(b) once said he has a 12.5 percent share in the failcast. 12.5% x 5 doesn't = 100%.
I really think LFF "owns" 50% of the failcast, and the other guys split it four ways...12.5% x 4 = 50%. To top it off, I think LFF bullies the krewe into letting him charge things, like part of his mortgage, as a business expense. I would be shocked if any of the members of the krewe see as much as $1K a month.
I think if LFF wasn't going to bars and Charles Town, he probably would make enough to barely pay his basic expenses. But we know how likely that would be.

It was recently discussed in passing on the show, Rob(b) is actually making MORE money than he was making at JFK, while everyone else has taken a pay cut. I can only assume they were paying him 20-30K tops at JFK, as I can't see the Failclast clearing much more than that. He does live in a townhouse in Leesburg and have a wife who works full time, maybe he just has really low expectations.

Robb always said his house is in McLean, and that's what the police records say too. Maybe Leesburg is considered McLean?
Everybody lies about money. Robb was making more than 30K on the old show. Aside from Mike's wife-beating tendencies which we saw with Buzz recently, the reason that I never support the sponsors is that they seem to be doing just fine without my help. So fuck them. I will listen to and enjoy the free shows, never buy a product, never click a link, never purchase a membership or bonus show. I go to amazon.com by going directly to the amazon.com website.
The other reason I will never give them any money is the way the Jew censors the show's message board. Hear me, Jew?

I cannot see any of these guys making near that amount of money, but I also have no idea how much the sponsors pay, nor do I know how they split the earnings. I can see him getting more at JFK, maybe $50-75K on D&M, closer to $50 for TMOS. Maybe he was making a lot more, I don't know. Maybe he should shove his W2 in my face.

problem Im having is that its still my goto pod cast for the commute home but lately Im starting to become close to falling asleep on 66-it always seems to happen about the time a few mins b4 blob(b)'s audio vault and I have to jump to music to stay awake. The show is getting close to having me killed on the road because its the same stale thing over and over again. All Im hoping for is another blow up or some caps talk. And of course, rob(b) knows nothing of sports and despite this, still wants to be the biggest talker during that segment and any other

and then later things turned black between monkeyboy and the missus and donnie. g. with lawsuits galore
I smirked during monday failcast when lff expresses his empathy for jimmy kimmel being nervous during the white house correspondence dinner because lff has faced similar situations in front of big crowds
I think lff actually believes he's in the same stadium as comedians like jimmy kimmel

Don said "Bullshit" twice and told Broyhill not to dump it... When management came to can someone, Don pointed the finger at Broyhill.

I think Rob(b)'s assertion he's making more than he was JFK, is bullshit, first, he would like to throw that in CK's face to say "HA! Who needs WJFK", when in fact he was begging for a board op or any work at JFK after TMOS show was canned - and the jobs he was begging for paid $20-$30K/year.
Spewak has the failcast and two hours each week at KCJJ. Yeah, that blowhard is living life large. That's seven whole hours of 'broadcast' exposure a week. Success? No...
Fucking loser.

I listen to R&F almost every day, Fez has gotten away with murder at XM/Sirius, but I guess you can't fire someone for emotional issues, especially if they are getting treatment.
Even so, Ron and Pepper Hicks put on one hell of a show - something TMOS should learn from.

A station in Iowa paying $15-20K annually for 2 hours of programming a week? Not likely.

2 hours a week, right. I was thinking 2 hours a day for some reason when I wrote that. 2 hours a week, Iowa....more like $500 a week, maybe.

Listened to considerable portion of this past Mondays Don Geronimo show. 1 interview with Kelly ODell from entertainment tonight promoting something. Don kind of rode her hard. don't think she remembered her short time doing reports from La-La Land on the old Dons and Mikes show. another celebrity interview with some dude from He's Fat and She's Fat(Mike and Molly , eh it's ok) on CBS. donnie g.emonstrates his old disdain for the celebrity interview
but next was a evisceration of an albeit lousy Slo Joe Ardinger bit. Donnie g. sends Slo Joe to some homo charity walk fundraiser and Slo Joe attempts to be funny by asking lame questions to participants. This was standard bit on old D&M show but here he seems sort of hesitant and the questions are beyond lame. I get the feeling that Slo Joe is low man on the totem pole in donnie g.'s collection of mediocre talented yes men he has surrounded himself with

The show should be more developed (and longer) by now. My conclusion is that Mike isn't focused on the show. Related: can he stop complaining about being so busy, then describe a life of leisure. It's absurd.

Do these guys even listen to other podcasts, i.e., successful podcasts (Rogan, Corolla, Jay Mohr, Marc Maron, etc)? Those shows are conversational in tone, with no use for whacky voices (still doing Larry King? WTF!) and incessant unfunny sound drops. This will remain a failcast as long as Robb is present. That MFer insists on keeping the show within the confines of an 80s morning zoo. I do admit to a guilty pleasure regarding the show: I enjoy watching the video to see Robb's face as he plays audio (at beginning of the show and during his "awesome" audio vault segment....Christ, how stale is that bit?!). Watch Robb eagerly look over to Mike for his approval as he plays whatever audio treasure he's selected for that day. When Mike doesn't react one way or the other, Robb gets crestfallen. His big goofy smile and hand-clapping dissipate into an embarrassed and forlorn pout. Priceless.

The failcast is pretty unlistenable by 2012 standards, except I guess for the true-believing MOMS Kool Aid drinkers, not hatin' just sayin'.
I will tune into the Failcast live video, watching puppy dog Rob(b) run a gamut of emotions as big Daddy Mike approves or disapproves of his latest trick will be priceless entertainment as reported above.
I'll probably be one and one with the video after 15 or 20 minutes, but the memories will last forever...

I disagree. I think Mike could put a show together that plays to his strengths. Think low-brow 'A Prairie Home Companion' where Mike brings on some of the celebraties he knows from his Don and Mike days, with a lot less singing.
Let's talk Mike's podcast cash.
I believe WTF has around 300k downloads per show. So, let's give Mike 1/3 of that, 100k downloads. Let's assume that amazon is the main income driver and they give the podcast 1% of the sale. Let's assume 10% of the listeners buy something once a week and let's assume it is a $50 purchase.
Mike's $ = (100,000 * 0.1) * (50 * 0.01) = $5000 / week or $260k / year
If 1% of the listeners buy something than it is $500 / week or $26k / year
Adam, The Nerdist, and WTF have all stated that their $ comes from live shows. So, if they aren't making $$$ off Amazon (to the point where they can stop doing live shows) then there is no way Mike is able to do that.
I believe they use podcasts as a form of ads for their live shows.

This Reno show they want to do seems like a huge money pit. The cost of getting out there can't leave any room for profit.

Unless you're prepared to claim that the economics of the Failcast are drastically different from MUCH more successful and popular podcasts (like Adam C's), then the money's in live shows -- note that Carolla's coming to the Warner in November. Louis CK was on the Bill Simmons podcast not long ago, and he made it REAL clear that his money is from live shows because now he's big enough to book mid-sized theatres, and he controls his own management.
So the failcast crew (once again) is betwixt and between -- the failcast itself doesn't make any significant money, and they're not big enough to actually "tour." Yes, the State Theater gig was more successful than most of us thought -- but how much money could it have really made at $20 a ticket? How often can they pull that off?

Yeah, the State Theatre gig didn't seem as if it were action packed. Dressing up in tuxes, telling a few jokes, shaving Rob(b)'s head (again?), introducing Angie Goff and the krewe's friends and family will get old.

Let's take this even deeper: To get the State Theater, they had to pay the State a fee. Then there is the Elvis guy, who probably took some money, but marc's brother probably took nothing. After you start paying out all the ancillary bits, it starts to cut into "profit". For each $20 ticket, the krewe probably took what, $10 of that home? Split amongst the group, with Mike getting the biggest cut, that breaks down even further. I believe they had a lot of sponsors, so they may have been able to take much more of that home, depending on how much sponsor money went into it.
Now, as it was said earlier, if they fly out to Reno, there are more expenses which will be incurred, unless of course all the travel is sponsored.

i have to wonder how many people really LIKE robb on the show. i know, i bitch about him all the time.
but, he is just so incredibly grating it's unbelievable. just seems like one of those things where i can't POSSIBLY imagine anyone actually enjoys him!
i understand all the criticisms about the show, but, to me, those don't hold a candle to robb. i wouldn't have much bad to say if it weren't for him.

fred is the king.
donnie g. was pretty good 'cept for his tendency to just keep playing and playing it. i still get annoyed when i listen to his current show and he still plays that sound from star trek ,the opening of the tricorder,(or is that from star wars?) after a phone call
lff hadn't a clue but u could tell when free of donnie g. that all those years he wanted to be the one who pushed the buttons but lff had no skill and he sucked at it

How about this, when you do an audio vault, don't have 9 out of 10 things be videos, dipshit.

Great insight from the 5-3-12 episode at the 50 minute mark. Spewak was being Spewak, and not even that bad on his scale, and Mike gets tired of him. Mike says, "it gives me perspective, when (Robb) does that, I can reflect back and understand why Don hated me."
They clearly recognize that Robb is a probb at times.

Everyone has hated Rob(b)'s schtick going back as far as high school when he was at James Madison HS in Vienna. He was just as obnoxious then as he his now.

I wish I could put my finger on what exactly it is I hate about Rob, but in the end, I guess it is everything. Even now, as he "works" on an easy chair in Mike's living room there is an air of arrogance, that he is never wrong, and smarter than anyone else. The idea that he is funnier than anyone else (not helped by Mike telling him he is the smartest one on the show). The idiocy of hammering something into the ground that is neither funny, nor engaging.....yeh, I just hate him.

Damn, that was a little bit of a breakthrough.
Mike finally admitted that Don hates him. I think that's the first time we've heard any acknowledgement from Mike that Don dumped his ass.
Prior to this, Mike kept couching the breakup in terms like "Don's Retirement". The "retirement" was brief. Since then, Don's done his best to recreate the old D&M show out in California, even bringing Slow Joe Ardinger out to work for him again.
Mike's invitation must have gotten lost in the mail?

Mike finally admitted that Don hates him. I think that's the first time we've heard any acknowledgement from Mike that Don dumped his ass.
Prior to this, Mike kept couching the breakup in terms like "Don's Retirement". The "retirement" was brief. Since then, Don's done his best to recreate the old D&M show out in California, even bringing Slow Joe Ardinger out to work for him again.
Mike's invitation must have gotten lost in the mail?

Isn't Don the PM out in Sacramento? couldn't he have helped his old buddy Mike and his old buddy Robb out by giving them some airtime? D&M used to be on in Sacramento, the audience was already built in. What's one hour at say, 8pm, or 10. That's Don giving the whole krewe the middle finger.

Boy, thanks for that. Mighty relevant. And the LFF defenders plumb new depths in their attempts to defend the indefensible, and attack those who point out that the big fat emperor is naked, and REAL unattractive.

If you had to carry a 300-pound load on your back for 20 years, and you finally got rid of it, and moved cross-country for a fresh start, why would you want to bring that load BACK into your life?

Even if donnie g. wanted to put lff on khtk I seriously doubt CBS radio would allow it. I get feeling lff burnt the bridge with cbs radio.
I think donnie g. reached out to Slo Joe cause he got jobbed by Kinard at WJFK. Slo Joe thought he had a job at WJFK as board op at the new sports talk format even if lff bit the dust. but ck seemed to clean the house of all things lff at wjfk.

The strongest indictment of TMOS is the lack of content on the show lately.
Mike started the podcast today with a long, boring bit that crawled to its inevitable "Scott Shannon" punchline. Like Robb's racist jokes, that gag gets less funny with repetition but Mike acts like he's mining comedy gold.
The fast forward button is really getting a workout.
Earlier posters were suggesting that they switch to a more conversational format and forget about the awful attempts at humor, but Mike's not very good at telling stories.
He hates everything.
He feels fat and ugly.
Carla makes him walk the dog.
The dog finally pooped.
Fascinating.
And what the hell was the point of that story about walking past the prison and giggling about how it made him feel happy? More suppressed racism?

Oh, not on a motorcycle from Chantilly; no way.
He would need: (a) plane tickets to whatever city is nearest; (b) a nice comfortable hotel/house; (c) a new motorcycle for while he's out there (he can have it shipped back); (d) at least one servant; (e) plenty of walking around cash.
Even then, he'd get into some kind of fight while he's out there.
Oh, and it goes without saying, that all of this would be on the failcast's tab.
Try harder!

I guess this is his first ticket of the year. We should keep a running count.

I swear to gawd cut lff a break he's way too busy doing show prep each day and soliciting new advertisers for the failcast and searching for voiceover work and checking out the lovely senoritas as he enjoys lunch at Guapos after another super failcast production and then you expect him to remember to renew his vehicle registration. you people expect way to much from the golden boy.
despite what he thinks he's just flesh and blood and lots of blubber
"I guess this is his first ticket of the year. We should keep a running count."
does Prince William co./Manassas have a ticket search?

When a girl dates bad guys ten or twelve times in a row, at some point, her friends usually say, "Y'know, maybe it's you -- maybe you're making bad choices." If your choices keep leading to bad results, you need to re-evaluate what you're doing.
LFF shows no signs of this level of self-awareness. None. If his career sinks any lower, he's going to be imitating Larry King for loose change in front of a 7-11.

So obviously LFF's favorite horse was "I'll Have Another" and if he didn't wuss out or forget in a drunken stupor, based on the bonus show, he might have placed a $20 bet on said horse. I'm not stupid enough to play slots, or bet on horses, but my money would be on LFF gloating about his drunken bet.

Mike had much more recognition and history here, took over the exact same time slot on the exact same station on good terms with management and his former partner (as far as anyone knew), and failed. Why would it work in Sac?

Do you think they are still trying to get back on the air somewhere? They have been podcasting longer than the radio show (TMOS) was on and still have one affiliate, out in Iowa. They had the one in Vermont for about a week, and that's it. If someone wanted them on the air, they would be on the air...

+1. It takes serious non-talent and lack of judgement to fuck up a setup like that. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce Mike O'Meara...

Regarding the Sturgis thing, it's probably better that he's not making the trip. LFF got his ass kicked at a Hooter's in Fredericksburg. I can only imagine what would happen if he walked into a biker bar in Sturgis after flying to Rapid City and then making the 40-minute ride into Sturgis on a rented "Scoot."

The thinking, at least in this thread seems to be that smaller, less progressive (read: dumb and unsophisticated) markets, such as Sac-town are more amenable to the Whacky Morning Zoo style humor.
D+M, were pretty big out there, evidently, so maybe it would work. Its hard to imagine it being a bigger fail than sitting on his couch doing CAT.
Don probably likes is because, being close to Mexico, cocaine is WAY cheaper there.

i swear to God, get your stories straight. I blew out my knee in DC at Clyde's while in a fight. The fight in Fredricksburg was months before. My face getting slapped was only a couple of months back. I literally cannot believe you cannot get these fact straight.
