Yeh, loads of comments on the show, keep up the good work.

Hey, let us know when the show loses another member of the krewe, OK? At this, rate, LFF will be able to have a staff meeting in one booth at McDonald's. Now, granted, one four-person booth will only fit his fat ass and Rob(b)'s but still . . . notice how people who give their effort (and cash) to the show always seem to wind up with LFF pissing in their faces? What a loyal guy . . .

Been listening to the failcast again? Common reaction.

It's funny how, once a page or so, someone declares the thread dead. It is almost like "semper fat" to me at this point.

Yall is bitches keep hatin on mike, mike ass doing jus fine, successful and MAKE that money. He aint going nowhere because he don't have to! Dude sell mad tickets, spit mad game on the podcast, an dude MAKE that money! Keep hatin and he jus keep making the money!

A part of me really thinks RP2 is Mike or Rob.

O'Meara's not going anywhere 'cause he's irrelevant. Nobody wants him anymore. That's why he's been doing a podcast in his living room for the past several years.

Sure it's radio's fault. Because...you know...both his past partners are also doing pod casts in their living room.

And you CAN make money from a podcast . . . but you have to work at it. And it helps to be medium-famous; see, Adam Carolla. If you're lazy and not famous . . . you're just a guy in your living room, talking to the few people who want to listen.

And for some reason LFF can't even draw on his previous minimal fame. Early on it seemed like he was trying to maintain some semblance of belonging at the charity and media events his "friends" like Tony Perkins and other tv and radio personalities attended. Now once a year he does one quick and sad lumbering lap around the few places that will still have him on to promote his Fat Guys on Bikes event. And he complains about how tough that is. He really puts the L in LFF.

Nah, the trolls are feeding US. The thread lives and thrives, as LFF slowly drives every everyone who's ever given a shit about the failcast. Buzz. Marc. Donnie G. wouldn't piss in LFF's mouth if his teeth were on fire. The apocalpyse cometh.

BOOM!!!

Don
Kirk
Jack Diamond

Yep, it's all radio's fault. Nothing to do with his unwillingness to look in a different market THAT HE ALREADY OWNS A HOUSE IN!!!!!!

One of the many things I don't understand about MoM is why he can't get famous guests on his show.

There is 0 chance that he can't call publicists (sure, maybe they'd say no for their client) and certainly some of them must think fondly of the D&M show.

I think it'd take effort and no way he'd do that.

FDB could easily be a DC area Adam Carolla, but it'd require work.

270...Semper Fat...

Even Big O and Dukes gets guests. Not really famuous guests, but it break the regular podcast routine. It's not some friend who owns a business or some intern's mother.

Maybe it's because they have a real producer running the show instead of a guy who prefers to listen to old Elvis tapes over and over and over and...

But yeah..it comes down to putting an effort into what you do. Something I don't see in the show.

This. Remember how Donnie G. would make fun of C- and D-level guests? That was GREAT radio. When they'd get a real celebrity, they would see if the celeb could pay along with them, and then react to that. There are plenty of "celebs" (if you draw the circle wide) who would be pleased to come on the failcast . . . but nobody's asking them, are they? They'd rather keep on talking to each other.

"They'd rather keep on talking to each other."

Well, it is a podcast for two people only.

This.

Besides, LFF is terrible at interviewing people. He can't stop talking while asking a question and projecting his views into each question he asks, going on and on then just stopping awkwardly. It is painful to listen to.

Well, yeah, he's terrible at interviewing people. And talking about sports. And politics. And popular culture. And listening. And lots of stuff. We're just trying to find other things to fill the show besides him eating, drinking, burping, farting, and saying, "literally."

Stabitha Wrote:

Because it's fun.

Because the lurching pile of crap known as the failcast staggers on, manned only by LFF, Rob(b), and their houseboy.

Because we enjoy the occasional drive-bys by LFF's shinking band of apologists.

Because some of us recall the glory days of D&M, and wish LFF would just move to Florida, and start playing Celine Dion records in afternoon drive for the old folks on their way to dinner at 4:15.

"Lurching pile of crap" is one for the ages!

I'll stop posting when the number of pages surpasses LFF's weight...

Because referencing a show that ended before today's 40 year olds were born is a great way to bring in new listeners.

Conversely, the oldsters who DO remember Ed Sullivan are very hip to the podcast thing, don't you know. They play podcasts on their Victrolas.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

Someone's getting a real talking-to on the show's FB. Y'all have already called me a cunt here before. Feel free to do it again.

IF YOU DONT LIKE THE SHOW JUST FORGET IT, SOME OF US THINK IT IS GREAT.

YOUR NOTHING

If you saw Mike in a bar and asked him to name 10 RedSox from the 70s or 80s, I guarantee you he couldn't. He's such a bandwagon fatass.

I tried to post about paying for bonus content that I never received but it looks like I was blocked for saying the show isn't the same without Don at the helm and Buzz reading the news. I promptly unsubscribed from the feed in BeyondPod.

Like Yaz, that guy is a fag.

Good thing Fuckwaddle didn't want to get political: if you disagree with him you're hate-based. Fuck Mike O'Meara.

Fat Drunk Baby thinks Chris Matthews tells the truth.

Fat Rob doesn't understand filibusters: you can talk about ANYTHING, fat boy.

To sum up, FUCK FAT ROB.

Fat Rob: "The rest of the world hates us because of our filibusters." Right, fat boy.

Lazy Fat Fuck always sounds like he's just pounded a 12 pack when he talks politics.

All it took was a stinkbug to end the political rant and they ran with it, talking about the stinkbug and how it's their new mascot...and kept going on about the god damn stinkbug...and just wow.

I need to join the club of people on here who stopped listening to the show.

Looks like the original host of This Week in O'Mearakkka has also defected to RELM. Seems like the rats have fled the USS Failcast so all that's left is the "fearless" Krewe and their clueless Captain. People forget that the Titanic took forever to sink...
Attachments:

It's a better show, don't ya think, without Buzz? That is, as a 3-person show. Before this, it would be heavy on the Mike and Robb chatter -- with Buzz and Oscar mostly silent. Oscar is a much more active participant now.

When it comes to politcs, Robb is as obnoxiously ignorant as Mike.

I don't mind them having their lame-assed liberal opinions. But when they pontificate and advertise their ignorance of facts and issues -- it drives me nuts. I wish they'd just shut up.

"Robb's Wrong Again" is right.

Listening to them talk politics is like sitting on Metro train overhearing a family of idiots talk about things they know nothing about. You shake your head, roll your eyes, and count the minutes until you get to your stop.

Ardinger is putting links to the RELM network on Don's Facebook page and Don is not deleting them. Looks like he is supporting Joe and Buzz without actually saying anything. If that link on Dons page attract 250 out of his 5000 followers to the RELM page, that'll be a larger growth in downloads than the failcast has ever seen.

He'd be a good guest on TMOS.

I don't know if Jabarie will be good with his own show, but I did like him when he was on whatever the after show was called. I hope it's good.

Good or not, it's another cast member off doing their own show, on another network, made up of former cast members.

Thanks for the warning; I suggest a new feature here: "TMOS Fast Forward Alert."

It's interesting all this work is going into promoting RELM. LFF must have really sabotaged any effort to do similar things with MORE when Ronick was there. It wouldn't shock me if part of the falling out between Ronick and LFF was the fact LFF would do his best to not lift one fucking finger to make his own venture a success. I mean, RJ and Ronick had cued up a few great promotional opportunities and LFF was like "fuck it. I'm going to get blinding drunk and not show up."

I'd agree with that, completely.

I just had a horrible thought. I hope to God Mike doesn't force Carla to toss his salad. Given his diet, his asshole must smell like the Cambodian Killing Fields at high noon. And imagine his Michelin Man ass folds wrapping around her head. Fucking Christ!

Carla would never be able to get in there with Robb's fat head shoved so far up Mike's ass.

It's doubtful. Clearly, LFF wants nothing to do with salad in any form.

Yes, yes I do

Oh, and the take-home messages from Mike's interview on the new "O'Mearacast?"

1) He's not going to feed into the "drama" created by the RELM-ers. (Because why would he? It's not like that would make for interesting podcasting that people might actually want to tune in for, or anything. Brilliant.)

2) RJ was never a paid employee. (For some reason, it was very important to clear that up-- because it somehow makes it look better that RJ devoted tons of time and energy to the show without the burden of any kind of compensation. Thank you for clarifying, Mike. I imagine that makes everyone feel much better about things.)

3) The upcoming State Theater show will not be available afterward as a DVD or Bonus Show, because he wants to create a unique, never-to-be-replicated experience for people taking the trouble to attend the show live. (So, let me get this straight-- Mike, probably correctly, expects to sell out the State Theater, so it's not like this is an attempt to move live ticket sales...so literally the only impact this decision will have will be to deprive the show of a potential income source. Again, just...genius.)

I quit listening about twenty minutes or so in, but also of minor note was that Marcus stated that it was a "thank God" thing that the in-studio phone line had been "fixed" so that Tom Gavin couldn't call in...which I found humorous, insofar as Tom's call the other week, featuring Robb's genuine dismay (and Mike's obvious glee at said dismay) was one of the few recent, spontaneous, laugh-out-loud moments in show history.

For what it's worth, the show is posted at http://mikeomearashow.com/omearacast/ .

In other, not particularly related news, on Friday, Donnie G. and Drew (his co-host on his Sacramento show) did the first hour or so of his show with just the two of them lounging outside, in front of the radio station, harassing people with a bullhorn (which evolved into listeners showing up and giving the guys car wash coupons, t-shirts, and a whole bit about trying to get someone to bring a gallon of gas down to assist a motorist who had run out of gas). It was the polar opposite of TMOS-- utterly unplanned and unstructured, hinging on lots of listener engagement and the hosts' willingness to make fun of just how lame the bit is (i.e., no O'Meara-esque sensitivity about having the "best sounding podcast" or slavish devotion to format)...and it was funny as hell. Stupid, spontaneous, relaxed, irreverent fun. It truly makes me wish Mike would do some research by listening to other shows, starting with his old Jedi Master (because, as silly as this sounds, I would absolutely tune in for an episode of Mike and Robb, sitting on his porch with a bullhorn, harassing the Manassas locals. And you would too).

(That show can be found at http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2013/09/20/the-don-geronimo-show-september-20-2013/).

the other State Theater show wasn't a podcast or a DVD was it? I think BOAD have proven live show podcasts just don't work.

Yesterday I listened to TMOS for the first time in 2 months. It started off with a bad impression of a guy from Breaking Bad with Robbbbb laughing hysterically like a little girl. I pushed through that. Then Oscar appeared and they were talking some inside stuff about an old program director or something. After that I sort of lost all interest as they were talking about nothing with lots of girl laughter and morning zoo fake hype. I turned it off.

Now I see that there is no hope for this 'show.' I tried to offer suggestions. Now it is worse than it was.

Question: Does RJ appear on the Marc and ? show? I'd like to hear me some RJ.

It was made available as a Bonus Show. Which makes sense; those live shows probably aren't ten-dollar-plus DVD material (I can believe they were losing money with the expenses involved with that), but I imagine many listeners would toss them a buck or two for a Bonus Show (which would be basically pure profit, assuming that it costs virtually nothing to do an audio recording of the show).

Thank you

I've been harping on this. There was a cool, but blown, opportunity for MORE.

There should have been more radio affiliates too, but that's another story. They couldn't get more than one (two if you count that northern - and still undisclosed - debacle) affiliates? Why not?

And to add to that cowardly sleuthing, gee, what a surprise, "Fancy Pants" just happens to be the title of a 1950 Bob Hope / Lucille Ball movie - gee, Robb, subtle you are.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042447/

Hi Robb!

I would listen to Don's show more if he would keep Little Joe off mic. I can't make it to the amazing guests he books when he is going full Spewak.

Another day, another 15 minute conversation about Mike's Facebook account. What grown man is that concerned with Facebook?

Mike also has such an embarrassingly small understanding of how technology works that I'm amazed he can operate a television.

What a boring show. I listen now simply out of spite.

Has TMOS made it out of the 200's on iTunes yet? How do the RELM shows compare to the 2 MORE shows?

You suck. Mike said yesterday he oftens listens to Oscar and "wonders why he got into broadcasting" and "Big O" completely agreed. He's maybe the only thing actually worse than LFFFDB and Blobbay's chatter.

The show will be better when all three are silent. And each day is one step closer and one listener less.

Nobody buys the DVDs and streams. It isn't worth it if they have to pay someone to video tape it.

Fewer people ON the failcast? Check.

Fewer products to be offered? Check.

No signs of progress or growth? Check.

Alienating long-time partners? Check.

Oh, the death watch is on. But the pulse is so faint that the death may not be immediately apparent.

Now I'm laughing. I am an unabashed D&M fan and have listened to just about every episode of the Failcast. I think some of the posters here are mean and off base, but agree with most.

How the fuck can you possibly even think for a second that "...this is the best they've ever been."? Are you brain damaged?

No, I'm willing to concede that this may be the best that they've -- if you define "they" to be LFF and his fat moronic ass-wiper, Rob(b) -- ever been.

But they suck. They sucked before. The only time the two of them didn't suck was when LFF was second banana to Don, and Rob(b) was barely allowed on the air. As a duo, this may well be the best they've ever been, but it sucks. It's dreadful. It's a disservice to the history of the D&M show. It's like letting your light-hitting shortstop bat clean-up; the job's beyond him.

Oh, would someone explain that to LFF? He knows jack about baseball, and Rob(b) knows less.

You have to remember that Fuckwaddle a) is housebound due to his immense weight, and b) has chosen to live in South Bumfuck where the only route to anywhere is I-95, so Facebook is his only contact with the outside world.

I like your "listening out of spite." It's much more honest than "listening ironically." You nailed the reason I listen.

Faint pulse??? - get this show a pork chop STAT!

Robb, since we know you probably check in daily, a request:

Can you *please* chill a little with the crazy laughing hyena bit?

I know you are trying to be the show's laugh track, but you make it worse, not better.

If something is funny, the audience doesn't need hints to laugh.

Make your content better, and the hyena routine can be retired for the sake of us all.

Thanks.

Its like seeing your team's deposed starting QB failing miserably for another team - even though he got booted from your city, you root for him to succeed BC you liked him so much.

Somebody has to tell Mike about this Facebook obsession. Given the number of minutes of discussion per week, one could argue that the show is predominantly about Facebook. Its the A Topic several times a week, right?

Not to be mean, but hearing about the daily lives of Mike and Robb has bummed me out before. The rare depression fast forward is a bummer. Get out of the house! Learn or do something!

Another side effect of the auto-laugh track...you can tell that Robb and Mike will throw any lame punchline out and expect applause. It's low stakes joke telling... listen to those times where Mike was zoned out and Oscar was texting and assess those jokes that fell flat. Genuine laughter leads to earnest attempts to be as funny as possible.

You see, that part of making the content better is where the system breaks down. They obviously think it's fine. It's just some kind of cosmic typographical error that they're doing the failcast from a dog-poop-laden living room in Manassas, and not beaming world-wide across a powerful and lucrative radio network.

Today's podcast actually had an entertaining segment, as Oscar tried to explain to Mike that the problem with his Facebook page is actually within the page itself -- not his Mac.

This is the same thing Robb tried to explain to him a couple of weeks ago.

Mike: But the Facebook techs told me that the problem had to be with my computer.

Oscar: But look -- I've pulled up your page on another Mac and there's still the same problem -- so it's got to be the Facebook page.

Mike: But the Facebook guys said....

Because let's forget common sense and stick with what the Facebook guys said.

270...Semper Fat...

Pulling my fucking hair out listening to this asshole whine about his FaceBook.

Fuckwaddle: OSCAR YOU ARE NOT AN ENGINEER! WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! (unspoken: you don't have a degree from AU like I do.)

And now he wants the Apple Store to fix FaceBook. IT'S NOT THEIR FUCKING JOB, FUCKWADDLE!!! Do you want them to mow your lawn too?

Amazing, isn't it?

You can tell at one point, Oscar and Robb pretty much give up trying to explain the obvious to him.

This is what happens when your brain is a lurching pile of crap...

How do you lose money when you don't ship the content people pay for?

Are they still advertising Weigh Not? I haven't noticed a commercial for it the past few days. Maybe they have and I just haven't noticed?

No, I think it's over. No mention of Weight Not, no banner ads on the site, no reference to anything diet or weight related. It's been several weeks.

I've said in the past on these forums that the two best things Mike could do for himself and his show would be to 1) take a Facebook break (or quit it altogether), and 2) get into recovery. Get sober.

I imagine Mike would respond to the first suggestion by saying that he needs to be on Facebook, because it's how he "keeps his finger on the pulse" of his listening audience.

I imagine he would respond to the second suggestion by stating that, while he obviously enjoys alcohol and occasionally overindulges, he's clearly not an alcoholic, because he doesn't drink every day, doesn't drink around his baby, doesn't drive drunk, and otherwise doesn't (by his estimation) fit the stereotype of an alcoholic. (And I'd even give him the benefit of the doubt and assume all that would be factually correct, despite being the very typical litany of the alcoholic in denial-- they love bolstering their case with numbers. "I'm not an alcoholic because I only get drunk X many times a month," etc. The alcoholic-in-denial Stat Rundown is such a curious phenomenon.)

I'd respond to his assertion that he needs Facebook to connect to his listening audience by asking him to consider whether the benefit he gets from it, in terms of "connecting to his audience," honestly outweighs the compulsive, addictive behavior it seems to evoke in him. Mike, your Facebook use prompts you to read Facebook posts verbatim on the show, make Facebook a major topic for multiple show segments, and exposes you to toxic attitudes and comments that make you furious and on a semi-regular basis...yes, this may be a matter of opinion, but really: is your Facebook use actually making the show better? Or is it just something you enjoy, and want to keep doing with your time?

I'd respond to his assertion that he's not an alcoholic, at least by the numbers, by telling him the truth: that it's not about numbers. It's about a larger problem with managing your feelings and your life...and that any alcoholic in recovery will tell you that "dry drunks" (i.e, alcoholics who aren't stewed to the gills every second of the day) are often the sickest.

Mike, you collect military coins and motorcycle club patches. I get it, you're into that stuff, and God bless ya. But here's the thing: while many of those coins and patches were gifts, they're not particularly impressive (or interesting, for that matter), because you didn't earn them. When you put on your motorcycle "cut," you're fetishizing that subculture-- which is fine, have at it. But you're only a peripheral part of those "brotherhoods." A fan. An enthusiast. But you know what kind of coin would be impressive (and, not coincidentally, honestly interesting to hear about on the show)? Any kind of coin you'd receive at an AA meeting-- from a 24-hour sober chip on up. That, you would have earned. And that, you could brandish with legitimacy and self-respect-- and only the douchebaggiest of douchebags would roll their eyes at it.

And speaking of...Robb. Hi. If you've read my posts, you know I've defended you here. I don't think you're a bad guy, though I don't know you. You know what, though? When Mike tells a story about having "had a weekend" because of his drinking, or tries to make a joke about "going to the dark side" when he's drinking, and you egg him on as if his drinking is one of the funniest things ever? You're being a really, really shitty friend in those moments. It's not funny when an alcoholic announces his desire to quit drinking, and you turn to Oscar and start laying odds on when he's going to give in-- it's mean. For better or worse, Mike's given you opportunities you never had with Don-- and repaying him by enabling his behavior really, really sucks, man.

I don't even know what to say about Oscar-- he openly thinks it's one of the funniest things ever when Mike is drinking ("Drunk Mike is a TEN! TWO THUMBS UP!"). Oscar, you do get that Mike's alcohol use probably contributes significantly to that emotional dysregulation that you find so upsetting, right? Not to mention that it probably contributed significantly to his divorce, and financial problems, right? And that it's probably contributed significantly to his health problems, right? Because if you get all that, I'm sure you can understand how it's a real dick thing to encourage him to keep on boozing. I know your shtick is all about being an "instigator," but this isn't a fucking game. Mike's addictions really will kill him. And you really will have to look back on podcasts where you reinforced his identity as a fun drunk.

Fuck. I've written another book-length post. Sorry, guys. But, even amongst all the fun we have knocking TMOS around, it's fucking painful to see an addict who has already lost so much get enabled, in both his substance abuse and his addictive online behavior, by his supposed "friends." Especially when help is so readily available-- one day at a time.

Time for some tough love for the krewe:

- Carla: Get out of that nightmare of a marriage before your kid ends up like his father. Mike is not your daddy. He is a fucking man-child who is devouring the best years of your life. Once your looks start to go, you are going to be a bitter single mom living in a trailer. Get out while you still have a chance to marry a real man.

- Oscar: Grow the fuck up. Quit dating the whores you couldn't get in high school. Quit dressing like a Vegas Player wannabe, focus on a venture that can be successful and get out of there.

- Robb: For the love of God, shut the fuck up! You aren't funny. You aren't competent. I'm not sure Giant hires bag boys your age, but you'd better check it out because you aren't qualified for anything else.

- Mike: Give it up. Professionally you have been off the mark for five years. There has to be some shit station in Florida that will pay you to spin records and not talk much. You need to look into that. The writing has been on the wall since JFK...you suck at what you are trying to do.

We're all losers in one way or another for in any way following a show as awful as TMOS, but you act like you are running for "President of the Land of Suck." Please get a life, and put as much effort into some other aspect of it as you do your rambling incoherent posts. Good day, sir.

Depends. Has the cast of the failcast shrunk again? Has LFF's liver run up the white flag? Have the boys at Weight Not stopped laughing? No, my friend, so long as LFF and Rob(b) continue to struggle against the inevitability of the demise of the failcast, we, the few, the proud, the former fans of D&M, will continue to (a) not listen; and (b) mock the death throes of the failcast.

But thanks for playing.
