LFF's lack of currency at CBS probably wasn't helped by his insufferable asshole-ishness, which I'm sure wasn't forgotten by those executives at WJFK who were on the receiving end of it for years before they got their chance to say "fuck you" back with their actions.

+100. CBS could put up with Diva Don because they know he can generate ratings. CBS gave arrogant Mike a shot and he failed, but was screaming "I'm not going anywhere!!" days before management pulled the plug - and a measure of JFK's management disgust with O'Meara was demonstrated by the fact that they didn't give O'Meara a live opportunity to bid his loyal listeners "farewell".

Yep, it's that 'ol karma thang Mikey O...

146 pages, YEAH!!!!!!!

Today from the living room, Rob(b) makes some bad jokes, I get pissed at someone and complain and Buzz reports some pot news!!!



SCIENCE!

Today Mike went seamlessly from criticizing Facebook investors to begging for a Facebook campaign for TMOS. When he does stuff I hate, it always leads to a strong of stuff I hate.

They basically said that the people that invested in Facebook, and enabled that business to grow, don't deserve to get paid. I don't get it. And I don't think it is a political thing.

The Facebook offering appears to be overpriced. Some analysts have said that Facebook would need to get 1/4 of total worldwide advertising revenue to justify the share price.

This may or may not be true, but given how fucked up LFF's finances are, he's really not in a position to be lecturing successful investors about how they spend their money.

Like Linkedin it's totally overpriced - to get the revenue they'll need to build investor commitment, it will have to become an ad-dominated web site.

We went thru this in the 90's and nobody learned websites basically don't generate anything unless you are an Amazon, who can deliver a book or DVD to your front door.

People with money will buy/sell Facebook and make a killing - watch that stock to tumble after the initial IPO.

The Failcast will stay where it is - no investor confidence until we hear details of the Big Duff Tres. Will Rob(b) wear his +fours again? Will O'Meara get drunk and make an ass of himself? Will big O chastise his 50 loyal listeners for not participating in BDIII? I can hardly wait!!

I'll watch CNBC for Facebook news and CNN for O'Meara updates!

Where's the remote...

Yeh, pretty much. He walked out the door and left Kirkster holding the bag for the sign-off.

Don referenced the unfunny one this week, when he mentioned the "Spewak Rule".
If you're not funny and talk too much, you lose your air time.

In fairness to LFF and WJFK management, as I recall they were told just before going on vacation break that they were done at WJFK. WJFK management gave them the opportunity to return after vacation for one more farewell show, and they chose to do the recorded thing, instead. Of course, I don't doubt WJFK management was hoping that's what LFF would do, but it's not like they totally shit on him.

You don't get to be a diva unless you produce. LFF has never grasped that essential fact of life. If you're a pain in the rear, you had better be VERY good at your job.

D&M actually produced revenue for CBS and were divas because of that. For whatever reason, Mike thought when he got his own show he would be afforded the same salary and perks he had before the split. how about you have a brand new show which is untested on the air you dipshit. Supposedly he had good rating and was producing good revenue for CBS when he was fired, but that is his side of the story.

This is why Don is great and Mike isn't. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of those he works with. Mike, on the other hand, gives every idiot who wants it air time, just as long as they kiss his ass sufficiently.

Well, doesn't that demonstrate O'Meara's lack of instinct for radio? Donnie G. milked his first 'retirement' from JFK for all it was worth with apperances from former co-workers and fawning phone calls from fans.

O'Meara leaves two jobs in with a hissy fit - and squanders valuable exposure in the process.

Well, I'll give the LFF some credit, maybe he's smart enough to apply the "Spewak Rule" to himself!!

I used to dread listening to "best of" shows back in the D&M days. I knoew Robb would fill them with shows which featured himself. Whenever D&M would come back the first half of the show would be from callers hating on Robb for picking those shows. Even Don would shut off Robb's mic every once in awhile and Mike just lets that idiot blather on....worst yet, he runs the show when Mike isn't there.

Rob(b) is just horrible. no way around it. it is insane to think that LFF keeps him around. guess misery really does like company.

TMOS frustrates me because it is close to being a very good podcast. I find fault at the fact that it is a 1 hour show and they spend 1/4 of it doing ads and another 1/4 talking about the show itself. In a longer format, these defects wouldn't be so noticeable. I don't blame them though, it wouldn't be easy to justify a longer format when you're not making money.

I have a lot of respect for Rob(b) and I'm glad that he has an expanded role on the show. His biggest problem is that his audience isn't as smart as he is. He's Conan O'Brien trying to make audiences who prefer sit-coms with unendurable laugh tracks smile. It won't often happen. "Smart" comics are never fully appreciated because the Wal-Mart drones fail to understand a single reference. They hate Rob(b) because making them think (and realizing that they can't) is much too difficult. Face it, America's Funniest Home Videos got better ratings then Arrested Development.

Oscar keeps up his end well. He's like me, a 30-something douche bag with hot girls and a fast car. (okay...I traded in the fast car, but still got the hot girl). His stories raise the "adult content" on the show and if this isn't a winning formula, then I guess Howard Stern has no clue what he is doing.

Buzz is the classic "straight man" and fills his role perfectly. This is a well-honed comedic tradition. Balance is key. Just when the show seems like it might fall off the edge of the radio universe, Buzz brings things back around. He's the ground wire and when he gets a chance to speak, is actually quite hilarious.

Marc is what Rob(b) used to be on the old DM show. He gets beat up, gets defensive and it makes me laugh. His other show....god help us all.

And Mike...oh Captain, my Captain. One funny bastard, but I feel bad for him every time I listen. There is simply too much pain and bitterness behind each forced laugh. I feel like he's not always "there" for the show. He needs to decide if he's committed to this thing or not. Nobody would blame him if he decided to pull the plug (please don't), but this is his present reality and he needs to deal with it. I want nothing more than for him to regain his status amongst radio's pantheon. And Mike, you are funny enough without resorting to the old impressions. Regis, Larry, et. al. Please stop. Charlie and Sex Boy should die a fiery death. Nothing funny at all. Be yourself, talk about your hot little wife and a little self-deprecation would be great. Tear yourself down to build yourself back up.

To the cast of TMOS: you guys make me laugh. With a little show development, I would hope that you guys would get another shot at terrestrial radio. I'll be the first to stream. Keep on keeping on.

That is actually funny that you would suggest the Rob(b) would write his own review. I'm actually in Seattle and stream the show every day. I only offered my opinion because I think they are better than 99% of the crap out there, but I do wish they would continue to improve. Self-assessment shouldn't be an admission of failure. Ever seen the first episodes of The Simpsons? If somebody wouldn't have given them some time to get it right, they might be but a footnote in tv history.

Can't compare the two really. Don retired when the station was still talk format and, in fact, was ready to make a very strong commitment to that format.

With Mike, the station flipped.

Listen to the "Men's Room" out there in Seattle...

if don had stayed Don and Mike would still be doing 3-7
fact
the format crashed because mike could not keep the ratings or ad money up after don left
cheaper to gut it and go sports
when don was there the huge salaries they made were justified by their ratings and the ad revenue they brought in
mike had it handed to him on a silver platter
fact
now to mention 105.9
LFF is just a loser on his own why doesnt be try to get together with any one else where ho could be the good ed mcM?

Not that I am familiar with the "Mens Room", but I had heard from time to time that Seattle was one of the few markets left that still had a thriving scene of radio stations that weren't cookie cutter Clear Channel, CBS, or other major corporate stations.

SCIENCE!

If LFF had a show in the Top 10, he would have still been on WJFK regardless of the flip. He may have had to work with LaVar and get Rob(b) and Buzz off mic, but it would have been doable. The reason Mike was canned was because the show was competing with Christian talk, community radio and Baltimore stations in the ratings.

I do think there was a strategic shift within CBS that would have moved WJFK to sports, regardless. But if LFF had been any good, he would have still been there. I mean, Don is on a sports format CBS station in Sacramento, right?

Watching The Simpsons from then now the first episodes look weak, but it was a big hit from the start.

Rob(b) is not too smart for his audience. His humor consists mostly of arcane references to TV and pop culture that is too old and specific even for him, much less 90% of the audience. Don liked it because Rob(b) was referencing things Don remembered from when HE was a kid.

The Simpsons debuted in December 1989. A year later, Do The Bartman was an international hit. The Simpsons was pretty much a hit from the start. Even shows that started out slow, like The Office and Seinfeld, were undisputed hits two years in. Truth us, the Failcast simply sucks ass.

Doesn't Mike hate sports and know nothing outside of some baseball? I don't think that would have worked in any way. Either way, he sucks, but I think the flip would have killed him no matter what.

Can you imagine LFF and Lavar doing a sports show together? I dont see that working at all (not that Lavar and Chad works that well either). Mike would not allow himself to be second Mic to Lavar. Chad is willing to swallow his pride and STFU when Lavar starts defending Penn State or any of his other retarded shit. Chad and Lavar are roughly the same age. LFF is 20+ years older.

My point is that if LFF had decent ratings, WJFK would have tried to keep him. Would LFF and LaVar suck? Yes. Just as bad as LaVar and anyone else would suck.

I agree. Ratings trump all in the end. If LFF was getting good ratings before the flip I'd imagine that they would have tried to find a way to keep him involved with the new station. Of course his shitty work ethic probably didn't help his case to be kept either.

Just look at Dukes. BOAD weren't exactly killing it in the ratings either but they kept Chad on. Despite all of his negatives, Chad has always been a grinder and a hard worker and that probably played a role in deciding to keep him on. It sure wasn't his great insight into sports.

Yeah, I know. I didn't think you were being serious and I agree that it would have been so bad that it would have been fun to listen to. What was Lavart doing on TMZ? Defending Penn State?

"Just look at Dukes. BOAD weren't exactly killing it in the ratings either but they kept Chad on. Despite all of his negatives, Chad has always been a grinder and a hard worker and that probably played a role in deciding to keep him on. It sure wasn't his great insight into sports."

I remember a ways back Dukes saying he did do some sports work in Baltimore, so I guess CBS thought he could carry a whole show about sports.

Dukes must bring in a lot of money for the station if he openly admits he doesn't care about sports, yet they keep him on the air. they desperately needed someone who would not antagonize LaVar, nor question what he said. Dukes, being the grinder that he is, probably saw this as a short-term stepping stone.

So, did O'Meara get the Red Sox job in FLA?

Robb's comedy is not smart. It is obscure. He is obsessed with interjecting with the first thing on his mind, with no thought of whether it is funny or whether anyone cares.

obscure humor only you understand is not funny, it is self-serving. It is a show killer in a format like the podcast because then you spend 10 minutes bashing the idiot about having nonsensical input for the show. With only 60 minutes to do your show, you can't waste it on this moron. Cut him out of the show, who cares about the audio vault? Most of the stuff he plays is visual, or out of date. move to Iowa, you hump.

Making a reference to a 1970s sitcom is not inherently funny. Rob(b) doesn't understand what is and isn't funny. His limited schtick worked on D&M because Don made him a character...the intolerant loser who wasn't allowed to do anything. That character worked. Letting Rob(b) be Rob(b) is radio (or podcast) poison.

Yeah, I think you're right about Dukes having briefly done some sports radio before he was paired with Lavar.

I always wondered how he gets away with shitting all over the station and his co-host. Him and CK go way back to their days as Junkies interns (I think). Being the same age those two clearly came up together, so maybe having the PD in his corner allows him to get away with things that would get other people fired.

But then reality kicked in.

Mike apparently got super drunk last night at the Super Bowl party. They recorded the podcast a few steps from his bed...and it appears that the crew is afraid to knock on his door with a microphone. Ridiculous.

Mike? Drunk?!?!?!?!? Wtf?

and he wonders why nobody will pick up the show......

Step one to getting picked up is getting rid of Rob. Rob is the only radio personality I've heard that can kill a show's momentum more than JP Flaim. Terrible references. His racist bits aren't funny, and the "audio vault" is just replaying yesterday's youtube hits. Some of Chad Dukes' lackeys sound like Howard Stern compared to Spewak.

Thanks, I don't bother to listen unless Oscar is there, either.

That's our Mikey - on the one hand pumping the failcast as the "best work he's ever done" - on the other hand getting so fucked up he can't get out of bed. That's getting pretty fucked up. Hopefully he didn't get into another dust up and screw up his other knee!!

That's one dedicated radio professional!!

Seriously. Theoretically, the failcast is his job. Hilarious, but true. How do you sell this guy to anybody if he's hitting the bottle so hard that he can't get the heck out of bed?

Carla must be so proud . . .

+100. Sad but true. I'll be on a ventilator before the 'Skins achieve consistent Pats/GB/NO//G-Men production.

It will take about the same amount of time for me to tune in O'Meara and his merry krewe and get me to laugh, mainly because I won't listen to the failcast as long as the LFF, Rob(b), Marc, Buzzito and OsKar are featured players.

Someone still has to own up to 'Cat 2011' and 'Big Duff II'.

What a bunch of fuckin' losers.

Hey O'Meara follow Giselle's lead you piece of shit hack: "I can't broadcast the failcast and listen to the failcast..!!", 'cause no one else is Mikey.

I listen every day. I know today's show would be more boring Super Bowl talk...on a Tuesday...on a non sports show...bc Mike was too drunk to do the show Monday.

C'Mon man. I haven't even listened yet and I know the whole show will be you talking about what is a tired topic at this point.

I've listened to the 1st 16min of today's show, Mike asked the other guys wth did he do and who does he need to apologize to, then Mike insults his fans who came as 'an oil painting'.

It's unbelievable.

That's because the people who came there came to drink and watch the fucking SuperBowl, not listen to LFF blather on. That's probably why he got shitfaced. He knows the truth.

Hey, life is hard!


TMOS is so F8ing funny!

Nobody went to Jimmy's Old Town Tavern to see O'Meara. The reason why nobody laughed at his bullshit live show was because they were there to see the SuperBowl. LFF and Crew sit in a living room every day and talk into a computer. But when they are in front of a real audience trying to get a response, it doesn't work because real people DON'T THINK THEY ARE FUNNY!

The people who went to Jimmy's don't know about how much Mike's dog shits or how zany Oscar's hair is or who the fuck Ronic is. They don't care, they don't think it's funny and Honey Crisp Apples has NEVER been a fucking punchline!

I thought about going to Jimmy's, but (a) I was not sure that the MOM crew would even be there, and (b) if they were, I knew that I was pretty sure that they would be background noise at best, and not contributing to my enjoyment of the game at all. In other words, I thought about going to Jimmy's to pay the MOM crew my "last respects". They are at that stage for me.

If Mike keeps binging the way he does, you may be paying your last respects in a different way in the not too distant future.

This is why I like the podcast.

Last week Mike chastised Oscar for planning to miss Monday. I believe he said "[missing Monday] is beginning to be a problem." This was after he attacked Buzz.

Then LOL, Oscar takes the time to Skype in and Mike can't get out of bed.

Mike is one of the biggest a-holes ever.

I do think they create this fantasy among themselves that the failcast is really going somewhere and creating something. Then when they do the occasional live event and either nobody shows up or those who do show up aren't there for them and don't think they are funny, LFF gets wasted and comes crashing back to the ground. It would not shock me if at some point during the evening LFF began fucking with the crowd while they were trying to watch the game. He strikes me as the type of prick who would do something like that in a drunken stupor.

You would think reality would slap Buzz, Rob(b), Ronic, et al in the face and wake them up.

Essentially they are partners in a small business, the "leader" of which has a drinking problem which has led him to fights where he was physically injured and and binge drinking which has incapcitated him from doing a work at all.

If it were me, I'd see this is going nowhere and move on.

There's a mind-blowing level of desperation in O'Meara's krewe that makes them follow his "leadership".

2011/12 hasn't been a good period for the MOMS. Cat II, Fattyshack II, the failed DVD, O'Meara's dismissal from VRX, drunken fights and then the Super Bowl appearance - Jesus, those are the disasters we know about, what drama/O'Meara blow ups go on behind the scenes?

Have they admitted that the DVD was a complete financial disaster, or have they just dropped the subject?

I'd have to listent to the podcast to answer either question, so I'll admit I don't know what the MOMS krewe thinks of the DVD project. Maybe someone should call the show and ask? Oh wait, you can't really do that...

The ad for the DVD is still on DCRTV and the status is "back ordered", so maybe it'll go platinum??

After all, there are no real failures in O'Meara podcast land, only success, usually measure by one drink, after another drink, after another, etc.

This post is a classic:

Clearly the money is in the merch,,,

http://www.mikeomearashowmerch.com/main.sc




Even Dan Snyder thinks they're charging too much,,,

Remember this bit on the dons and mikes show
Attachments:

Regarding the DVD, if they rented the RV, they could be in for about $5k on that project when you consider food, beer, Jameson's, etc. They may have done a run of DVDs which would have recouped those costs at the original $26, or whatever it was. But since they had to mark it down, they fell short of their goal. They are probably seeing if they can get another target amount of orders in before doing another run. That's why it is "back ordered."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

But if the trip was sponsored, (I believe someone paid for the RV, Oncore?) and they put their hands out to the listening audience for gas money to pay their way out and back, AND kept whatever money there was left over, they only paid for the videographer and the editing. There was supposed to be an online version of the DVD, which would bring costs down, but that never happened. I imagine they have recouped their costs and are looking for profit at this point.

Did the big Oh blow off the Super Bowl party meet and greet with the fans(hahahahahahahahahaha) to go see his new gal in Arizona?

well there you go

That's probably right. Everything associated with the podcast has a low budget, broke-dick air about it, the first indication of that with the road trip was the begging for gas money - just like teenagers trying to fund a run to Ocean City.

Who in their right mind would consider a trip to Iowa as comedic fodder? No disrespect to the state in general, but if KCJJ weren't there, O'Meara and krewe wouldn't have given the trip a moment's notice.

O'Meara and Rob(b) think every whim they concoct is "comedy gold". At this point I'd almost feel sorry for them, but arrogant, self-indulgent pricks like Mike and Rob(b) don't deserve any pity - it's too bad they have to drag thier wide-eyed acolytes and families down with them...

Why the fuck would Oncore, a commercial builder, sponsor this shit? Makes you wonder what that "sponsorship" actually entailed. Didn't Mike have some work done to his house? Are you sure the Oncore sponsorship didn't consist of Oncore sending some of their guys over there to paint LFF's house? If that's the case then, no, Oncore didn't pay for the RV.

+1. A company that's done concrete work at the Air Force Memorial and Marine Corps Museum (amongst many other projects cited on their web site) surely don't need a push from a broke-dick podcast for a trip to nowhere.

I'll bet an Oncore employee loaned the RV, and O'Meara and krewe just look a little liberty and said it was a corporate sponsorship.

To be fair, if you spring for 10 or more the price drops to $3.00 per 'schticker'.

The question is: Where the fuck are you going to put them?

I was going to place one on the snowblower I bought out of the TMOS operating fund. These guys have no idea how much cash I steal out of that account!

I don't think LFF steals anything out of the account. I think he just spends what he is going to spend and if someone questions it, he bullies them into accepting it as a business expense. For instance, the Jameson's he drinks during the failcast is a business expense. He offsets that by allowing the krewe to buy a case of Bud Light. $80 for the Jameson's, $18 for the Bud Light. See how that works? That would be my pure speculation, anyway.

You can only write off a certain percentage of the house, utilities, etc. Probably less than 20 percent, to be on the safe side. Of course, that would mean he would have a corporation and a business license. Knowing LFF, he has neither.

hey retards oncor is an insurance company-where the fuck did some of you get that it was a cement/construction company. And I bet they wrote the whole RV off. And it was a fail. Becasue Oncore hasnt done any ads with the failcast in over a month-which still doesnt excuse your misinformation in this thread

OK it's "Oncor Insurance". I've amputated two toes as pennance for assuming it was Oncore Construction. I hope that's sufficient pennance.

Whether it was Oncor or Oncore (cement) why wasn't there any corporate logos on the RV? If a company spends thousands on an RV rental/loan, wouldn't they expect some ROI?

Now maybe the logos are visible on the DVD chuckle-fest?

LOL! Yes, it's our fault LFF's failcast hasn't burned Oncor Insurance into our minds. Yes, Oncor, money well spent.
