You are not listening, but listening to know what to complain about, which lately hsa simpley been "too much Facebook". What else do you have to talk about, Mike's finances? You people can't even agree on what to mock. Let me guess, Robb isn't funny, Mike is fat, Oscar can't talk, how much money does Mike make? The thread is in its death throes.

The post quoted below is absolutely spot in regarding Mike and the true severity of his alcoholism. One thing I would add with respect to Robb and Oscar (while I agree they are enabling Mike's alcoholic behavior) is that they are both alcoholic themselves. All the signs are there (I won't go into it). Everyone in that room needs to stop laughing and making a joke out of it. It's not funny. It's really quite sad.

"If, when you honestly want to [stop drinking], you find that you cannot quit entirely, or when if drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic."

Mike, Oscar, and Robb, I know you read this board. If that quote above resonates, please consider taking a serious look at the issue and think about getting help. It is not the 50s, 60s, 70s... There is no shame anymore in accepting addiction, rehab, recovery, or sobriety. The first step is the hardest.

I will refrain from quoting OaktonWhineShop's post and just say this. Mike is an addict, whether it is smoking, gambling, drinking, even golf, he is an addict. he surrounds himself enablers and won't leave the house to hear the truth from anyone else. It's a sad state of affairs, but true.

I guess you can say he's addicted to Rob too. He's the only one who thinks Rob is funny and belongs on the mike.

Addicted to Robb, sure. Addicted to the attention Robb gives him, yes.

I actually, for the first time in a long time, enjoyed the Mail Bag this week. For the first 8 minutes. It lasted approximately 18 minutes.

The guys should do one birthday shoutout a week. This is a more exciting, less annoying alternative. Even the super fans don't like the segment.

Y'know, you say that, but here you are, keeping the thread alive. Remember, LFF makes money from every post . . . somehow.

And Mike's Facebook meltdown is more absurd to listen to than I imagined. Poor Oscar. Mike is such a non thinking blowhard.

If your 8-track doesn't work in two different stereos, if the problem in the 8-track or the stereo??? Is that easy enough to understand.

I want to be here when it dies out completely, which is in about a week based on the amount of posts and content therein.

Can you count? The thread's quite lively right now. The occasional drive-bys by LFF's ever-shrinking number of apologists are helpful that way. You can almost hear their tiny feet stomping in rage.

If you don't like the content -- well, not a shocker. It's basically an ongoing tour of LFF's spiral into oblivion.

Super-Mega-Insane P1 Trip Affleck makes a very good point. Why not record the State Theater Show and let people pay you money? Multiple people in the thread (didn't include all responses) say they would be willing to pay $10, some even more, to have just an audio recording of the show. What is Mike's response? "Lick it Tripp"

This is why Facebook is dumb for you. All you do is alienate your fans.

Why does the TMOS crew have such a hard time taking suggestions or constructive criticism? Often times the ideas are good. But their response is always so abrasive!
Attachments:

You know what totally doesn't alienate an audience, Mike?

Constantly talking up a live show that only a small percentage of them are able or willing to attend, then telling them there will be no chance for those who weren't there to see or hear it later.

That totally doesn't inspire anyone to be pissed or tune out when you start talking about the live show on your podcast.

Given that EVERYTHING the krewe does is half-assed, the notion that they're not going to sell any kind of recording because of the costs is odd. Seriously, two guys with camcorders. Not that complicated.

So, why? Trying to sell tickets to the live show? I thought the live show was a fer-shure sell-out?

Tom Gavin, Dennis, Angry Mailman, RJ.....with Don running the circus and Marion Barry showing up WHEN DIRECTED is a show. Spotlight on O'Meara, the English-challenged Bolivian and the laughing hyena is NOT a show. I, myself, am grateful when there are no images to post here.

Mike is an addict (gambling, tobacco) and an alcoholic. It is sad to listen to him and the enablers/fellow addicts who he chooses to surround him laugh in make a big joke about it. It's not a joke. It's a life-threatening problem. I can't imagine sitting back and watching a friend, a loved one, struggling in the grips of addiction and make jokes about it. Those in the room should be ashamed.

Please, people, you don't have to quote the entire previous post. You can edit stuff out. Brevity is the soul of lingerie.

Ummm, if the previous post is on a different page, uh yeah you probably want to quote the entire thing. Dumb ass.

Yay! They're talking about...wait for it...Mike's Facebook problem again! I was HOPING they'd talk about this again!

Added fun: Mike just gave Robb shit for the fact that, when he (Robb) begins to describe his problems getting iOS 7 to work on his iPad 2 (and who would have predicted problems when you try to run an OS designed for a blazing fast, brand-new piece of hardware on an old iPad, by the way?), everyone gets bored and tunes out. Unlike, you know, when Mike begins to rant about his Facebook problem.

Maybe without Ronnick to do it, no one is willing to coordinate the filming? I think he even edited their bad iphone video from Florida. Could be they didn't make much on the the professionally produced DVDs, and now don't have a monkey to edit together the various clips and angles. It does seem that putting the audio up would be a no-brainer, it seems like the decision was made out of spite. I have no idea who that is directed towards though. But this decision being made by someone who wants Apple to provide Facebook tech support might explain things. LFF is going to "show them." For some value of them.

I thought FDB's Mike Ehrmantraut impression wasn't that great. It sounded just like his James Garnder or some other impression. But it was worth it to hear LFF say the actor had weird ears and eyes. Mr. Earlobe-Crease Anus-Eyes unironically pointing that out is comedy gold.

Tripp's "Mike, we're trying to give you money" line is the best thing in that thread. He is absolutely right, you beg for pennies, but won't put any effort into selling off a bonus show or download (ok, so not a DVD). Marc really was the brains behind all of that, good/bad, he just was. Mike can't be bothered to make more money, or, to try harder.

As long as blood courses through my veins, I will be here...Making Mike $ with every post

C'mon on now Tripp, you don't want this live show taped. You know 30 minutes of it will be a showing of "The Regulars".

Is Mike's really awesome Sinatra impersonator going to be there?

To those who care... scheduling issues (in addition to ongoing technical difficulties), there will not be a brand-new ROBBRADIO today. Please enjoy the other KCJJ programming. Thank yee.

Robb literally cannot write.

Not having to listen to O laugh is a good enough reason to avoid TMOS.

This comment had me laughing like a lunatic, thank you!

I can't really contribute much to the thread other than occasional funny (to me) comments, so I'm glad I could help - especially since the thread seems to be winding down and coming to an end.

You could probably add "and we don't have to dodge airborne luggage" onto that as well!

EDIT: To clarify, the comment about the thread being dead is pure sarcasm.

Wow, what's it like being a douche?

The menu is so big, it's hard to pick just one item. Don't forget:

Fat Rob is also fat;
Oscar's disfunctional relationship with his skinny whore (countdown to the smashing of Apple devices?);
Mike is a terrible father;
Mike's daughter, a leg-spreading former restaurant hostess (but I repeat myself) is handing it out to all and sundry in her first month at college;
As a father, Mike is a good golfer;
Mike is forbidden by a legal document from speaking about his first wife, Billie;
Mike steals from his employees, colleagues, and listeners;
Mike eats and drinks uncontrollably;
Mike doesn't listen to his own show while it's going on;
Mike has a degree from AU;
Mike is a man of many hometowns;
Mike is an expert on you name it;
Mike doesn't want to get political;
Mike blamed his hangover on drinking Guinness, which is weaker than Budweiser, instead of drinking TOO MUCH Guinness;
Mike ruined an appearance (is that possible?) at the over-priced Quench by getting too drunk and insisting on improptu karaoke;
Mike lies about "on the advice of legal counsel" when it suits him;
Mike is not only incapable of ending a barfight, in his last attempt he proved incapable of STARTING one, because he's so fat he fell down;
Judging by today's show, Mike is incapable of crafting an opening to the show;
Mike got so hungover he couldn't waddle downstairs so the show for that day was cancelled;
Mike throws luggage when he loses his temper at his pregnant wife.

And the list goes on. Which one to pick?

I wouldn't know, fag.

Mike never said he threw luggage. He said, "Luggage may have been thrown." Obviously this means luggage may or may not have been thrown. Someone threw luggage, presumably at his pregnant wife who supposedly nearly left him, but Mike never said he was the one not throwing the luggage.

Bueno. I just laughed.

There was a very funny ongoing theme on today's show, Mike called Todd Moore out for getting too drunk the night before to be on the show. "Did he wear his dress?" says the LFF.

Did you wear your dress your when you so hungover you couldn't even walk down your own stairs to do your own show in your own living room?

The Facebook vs Hardware debate is a prime example of why Mike will never be gainfully employed again. What an idiot...He has clearly messed up his settings...Everyone knows it but him...You know they get a big chuckle behind his back...And yet he expects Apple employees to fix it for him...And he can't admit that he got okey-doked by the FB engineers...

"Welcome to the Apple store, the Land of Entitlement. Now fix my problem with this 3rd party website while I take notes so I can belittle you later on my living room podcast. Wait, I can't be bothered to leave the house, so I'll send this obese man-boy in my place." - Mike O'Meara

Some Tech Advice

If your computer and your tablet is your livelihood, don't install new operating systems or apps on your production machines until the early adapters have had a chance to find and report any problems. Test them on a non-essential machine first, if you can. And back up your devices before you make any major changes to the system. If your device is 2 or 3 generations behind the current ones, be leery of any new software, especially OSes. The one exception to this advice are installing security fixes.

Don't visit porn sites on your production machines (unless your job is producing pornography). Don't ask Windows IT people to fix your Macs (I've NEVER seen a Mac with TWO versions of Safari running on it.)

Has Robb considered iTunes Match? Sounds like something he could use in his line of work.

If Robb had been using Time Machine, he could have reverted back to the old OS or iTunes to see if that fixed his problem. Pros should back up.

It sounded like Robb bought AppleCare for his iMac, but not his iPad (it's still under warranty). If his iMac won't sync properly with his iPad, it could in fact be a hardware problem (e.g., a faulty USB cable if syncing hardwired or a router issue if syncing via wi-fi). He brought in Mike's laptop earlier; why shouldn't he expect to bring in a desktop as well, if it is having problems? Another Apple store customer with a sense of entitlement.

His "tech" buddy Brad's analogy of a car hitting a pole doesn't hold up. Most drivers insure their cars, not telephone poles. Robb's "car" is the iMac, not the iPad. If Robb was too lazy to bring in his iMac, he could have just brought in his Time Machine hard drive, and they could have restored his setup on a store computer.

Today's smartphones, thin laptops, and tablets are really sophisticated computers and should be handled with respect.They have less movings parts, but when some part DOES fail, don't expect some guy at a "Genius Bar" to fix it. If you have AppleCare, they will probably swap it out for a similar model and send it back to the mothership for refurbishing. If you don't buy AppleCare and you're out of warranty, don't expect much help beyond some possible software solutions. So be careful yanking a $5 cable out of a $600 device. Accident-prone pros buy extended warranties.

If Mike is wondering about the lack of Facebook support, he might want to consider how much he pays for the privilege of using FB. Maybe he should ask for his money back and take his business elsewhere. Or he could send Robb to the FaceBook Store.

The guys love Amazon so much, why don't they get the new Kindle Fires with the Mayday button? Problems solved.

All of Mike's problems stem from the fact he sees himself as a victim. It's not HIS fault his Facebook page is fucked up. Obviously Apple and Facebook have teamed up to victimize him. His marital problems aren't his fault. He didn't want to get married. It's all Carla's fault for forcing Mike the victim to marry her. The failure of his broadcasting career wasn't his fault. Donnie G, Chad, BA McBride and Cumulus all conspired against victim Mike. The failure of his podcast has been the fault of his fans. TRY HARDER!!!!

Poor, poor Victim Mike.

Hey Apple Wrote:
-------------------------------------------------------

+1. It'd eliminate the need for him to manually sync his iOS devices at all. The service exists for customers exactly like him-- who have hundreds of thousands of songs/sounds in their iTunes library, and who need to swap them out frequently. Though I get the feeling that he kinda likes moving music from his computer to his devices the old-fashioned way, kinda like he enjoys swapping out the records in his jukebox.

But, whatever. Hearing them continue to talk about it is so, so painful, that it's actually gotten me to take their advice and not listen. Well done, boys.

Oh my, I have been saying THIS (Mike plays the victim) for years. Of all the criticism and observations of Mike on this thread, this (his self victimization) always seems to be the most overlooked. Glad to see someone else notices it. Mike is ALWAYS the victim. Nothing is ever his fault. What coddled fat baby.

Two thousand quatloos to anyone who can find out Officer Jerky's real name. I'm guessing he's a DC popo because Fuckwaddle had that "uh oh, scary black people" tone in his voice when he talked about the ride-along.

Will he wear the same Sketchers or buy new? Shoes for one-time wear; Land of Entitlement much, fat boy?

A good place to start might be FDB's FaceBook page, then run a tineye.com search or look at metadata on any likely photos.

Officer Meg is Meg Hawkins.

Now hop to it.

Or, you could just go to Mike's Friends list, and search "Jerky," which yields a likely candidate.

hey, STOP SLEUTHING!!!

That's like saying "you could just start looking" Mr. Helper. Now please to be go fucking yourself. Unless you're saying his real name is Jerky.

That being said, David Mosely of the DC Police Force looks like another leather sniffer. But you didn't post the name so no quatloos for you.

As a long time listener back in the day, I agree.

I wonder is Robb and Mike will watch the SNL season premier tonight and then complain about it on their podcast on Monday.

Oh, at the top of their game when they ruled the airwaves, I don't doubt that Donnie G. was a serious diva/pain in the ass/asshole. But if you listen now, it's obvious that the sledgehammer blow of losing Freda and all the attendant stuff has humbled him substantially. LFF still acts like he's king of the world. TEENY TINY WORLD, with dog shit on the floor.

There are two types of assholes in the world. Those who have earned the right to be an asshole and those who haven't. Steve Jobs, Bill Bilichek and Donnie G earned the right to be assholes because they can back up their shit. Dan Snyder, Rex Ryan and Mike O'Meara haven't because they can't.

Easy as that.

Damn ponderous that FDB keeps saying "very very" because he's at a loss for words to show emphasis.

Disturbing trend is Mike's fall from wealth has made him pissed at the world and unwilling to change. A couple of years ago he couldn't even cut & paste, so there has been some growth, but not enough. When he was making huge money, he could just pay others to do all his tech work. Now he wants FB and Apple to just fix it. When Robb & Oscar start to tell him what's wrong, he just puts his hands over his ears and doesn't want to listen.

He's p.o.'d that the visit to the Pork Chop Hospital in FL was so damn expensive. Because he doesn't bother to learn the rules. You can't just check in like it's a Red Roof Inn. Also, Carla got pregnant while not covered by health insurance!! Are these people nitwits or is this just show schtick?

Didn't Fuckwaddle say something on Friday about "we've all been forced to become tech guys now"? Doesn't seem to be working.

They are the only podcast with a dedicated technical support representative. I'm sure their customer response is at Apple store level.

Does LFF speak spanish? from dcrtv
La Capital For WTNT? - 9/29 - If you go to somoslacapital.com you'll see what looks like a new logo for DC area righty political talker WTNT (right). It sure looks like owner Metro Radio, based in Vienna VA, is planning to soon flip it to a Spanish language format. Metro already operates WKDV, 1460 AM/106.3 FM, as "La Ley," featuring a Spanish language regional Mexican music format. Stay tuned.....

You're coming from a place of hate. Fly to another country and build something for a poor child and then you can talk, you entitled hump!

Daily listeners know that Mike hinted some discontent at WTNT this week.

He's so mercurial, it's hard to ever figure out what's going on haha.

Build something for a poor child? I'm pretty sure O'Meara spent most of that time getting to know the bartender. And when he returned he begged his drone listeners to pay for a building which he promptly named after himself. Entitled, yeah I'd say that about sums it up. I'm all for charity but O'Meara didn't build shit.

The sad thing is, I'm sure he actually thinks it is true. He's delusional.

I listened to half of Friday's show after taking a 6-month break from TMOS. Mike is hungover -- he went out the night before and got drunk -- and it was not his fault because some police officer friend showed up and made him go out drink

Mike is hungover -- he went out the night before and got drunk -- and it was not his fault because some police officer friend showed up and made him go out drinking. A few times he also blamed the hangover on having had a cold the week before and at one point he even blamed Miller brewing company???!!!

It was like I had never stopped listening and hadn't missed a beat in half a year.

So Miller Brewing and Guinness are responsible for him getting drunk, wow. What an asshole.

This reminded me so much of Mike, it was simultaneously hilarious and painful. Thank you, Internet.

FDB actually responded to a question about his weight on O'Mearacast: he was down 20, put a bunch back on after Maine, and now is down 18. "Weight Not - it doesn't work, but hey, it's expensive so we got some cash when you suckers shelled out for it." - FDB and Blobb

They look svelte, don't they. Side note, what the holy hell is Spewak doing? The bad fake laugh is bad enough, but he looks like he is literally trying to unhinge his jaw.

Side, side note: O'Meara looks like he's pushing at least 65, not 54. Maybe it's the glasses, or maybe all his years of clean living are catching up to him. Keep using that JFK promo picture from 5 years and 85 pounds ago.

But remember, it's not Mike's fault he eats and drinks uncontrollably during the holidays. Hershey's is to blame for him overeating at Halloween.

Bizz's first guest should be someone from the Genius Bar to discuss unreasonable requests from customers.

So, if WTNT flips format's, do they get to keep Mike's money? There is no way they keep those racists on the air, unless of course, they want to start speaking Spanish.

They can barely speak English. I'm sure Mike's an expert on the Latino community, though, because he ate a taco once. He has a special affinity for Latinos, because one cuts his lawn AND fathered Carla's baby.

If WTNT flips formats, that leave them ith zero DC markets, which is what they were so hot and bothered about getting. They reworked the show, and the studio to attract more markets to buy the show for broadcast. This was hinged on being ion the air in the DC market. Now, they have weak powered KCJJ and that's it. You were wondering when the end was coming, well, this is the start more than any other drunken event so far.

Maybe the morning zoo laughing nerd concept is not so hot anymore......or something.

Robb acts like a man with no dignity at times. He flails around with an unhinged jaw at any pun - it's completely reactionary. The enabling, the universal agreement with boss, changing his stated position at the mere suggestion that Mike is leaning another way, THE LAUGHING. Support the show's humour, make it sound fun, but please don't fake it. The stalwarts have heard you laugh for real before - we can tell.

In my view, the apparent fakeness of the laughing has been made more apparent post-RELM split. Oscar and Robb have to split the guffawing, which has led to some comical missteps.

Please review that photo of Robb again.

When TNT flips over, Mike will have a rave out and go on a bender and blame, WTNT for his hangover. He will then take out his anger on everyone and demand the listeners try harder to pay for his bender through Amazon. The show is off the air just in time for their anniversary, December 7.

The deal would presumably be terminated pursuant to their contract. I will assume that legal counsel (for real though! WTNT's legal counsel) included provisions that provide termination procedures in certain events.

Short answer: no way TNT would get to "keep" - the question implicitly assumes that Oncor/MORE paid it all upfront - money for services not rendered.

One thing is for sure, they can choke on that whole "We are going to be around for a long time on the DC airwaves, two years minimum..." they spewed out when their check cleared.

They need to replay that episode where they were patting each other on the back and saying how great it was to be back on the DC airwaves and really stick it to CBS. Too bad it only lasted a few months, perhaps they should have tried harder.

I hope LFF doesn't receive what he paid for from WTNT. Then he will know what it's like to be one of his fans.

You would think Mike would have learned what that feels like when he bought that suntan bed from the woman in Florida and she never sent him the merchandise. He took her to court and still lost. Someone should take him to court for not getting their merchandise, THEN he'd learn something....maybe.

Agreed, I felt the same way.

Karma from the wait staff at the Look Around Cafe, who didn't get paid at the end.

Oh, now they can shop their show to other broke-dick AM stations in the area. A bidding war! Or the sound of silence . . .

Nobody has been interested in it so far, how will being taken off the air drum up any interest? They will be done within a week of the show going on WTNT.

Weird thing: whenever there is a widely reported issue, I dread hearing TMOS talk about it. Whether it's an election, an attack, or Breaking Bad, talk about bringing minimal value. Bad takes abound.
