And notice that the MORE Broadcasting spots were removed in order to add those new ads.
And this Prosper.com seems like the next logical step now that these "user to user" apps/companies are catching on like Uber and AirBNB. Like a single-sourced Kickstarter type of thing.
Of course that doesn't make it seem any less like a TERRIBLE idea, but if it can be monitored correctly it might be OK...kind of...maybe.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is that the European SUV? I didn't realize India was in Europe ...
Isn't this Mike's 2nd or 3rd Land/Range Rover? I remember during the last days of D&M he drove a blue Range Rover Sport. He really does like pissing his money away.

Hey there, Fellow Haters, Trolls and TMOS-Cast members.
What a great two weeks it's been! I've been TMOS-less for 2 weeks and its better than losing my virginity and quitting smoking, COMBINED! I've lost weight, cellulite is literally fading away! My skin is clearer. My eyesight is better. I can breathe the fresh clean air of sunny Florida, and feel renewed.
And listening to todays....later. Just to check in. It sounds as though I am missing much of the same.

I thought he indicated that it was an Audi. That's a nice Range though. I would assume that it happened to be there, or that is an old picture. Frankly, the entire gang seems to be living the life.
Sandals are harmless in and of themselves. Sandals with jeans says "I'm too lazy to put on socks and shoes." Sandals and jeans after your wife has been in the hospital for a week says "Not only am I lazy, I couldn't figure out how to work the washing machine."

I'm a little more broad-minded when it comes to footwear, but how are these sandals any better than Fat Rob's Birkenstocks?
And yesterday this fat pussy who can't even handle marijuana (or "ging" which apparently is the hip term, not) told listeners "if you're already addicted..." that the PeeWee Herman movie is fun to watch on drugs. Thanks for that tip, Grandpa (and you'll have a mulatto grandchild sooner than you expect.)
What are the odds that the carrier is empty and Fuckwaddle has left The King in the car?
Baby and car seat probably max less than 20lbs. The expression on LFF's face looks like he's getting ready to hoist a 50lbs kettle bell. What a weak piece of shit. I thought being fat made you stronger.

Mike is wearing Birkenstocks too...And I have never heard ging mentioned anywhere else but Mike/Buzz...
I challenge you on the Birkenstocks because you can't tell from the top. "Ging" is what Fuckwaddle imagines it was called in the bad part of town in Glastonbury or he imagines he heard Buddy Rich or Hughie Lewis say it.
My favorite Buddy Rich quote is from The Tonight Show when he said "I been smokin' boo since I been twelve years old."
I long for the day when I get to carry out the Buddy Rich joke with Stupid Carla: "I told you, he's dead!" "Yeah, I just like hearing it."
Five thousand quatloos for Fuckwaddle's home phone number!
So they're Birkenstocks or not Birkenstocks? Otay.... as for telling by the buckles, that's a bridge too far in my view. I used to have a pair and the buckles didn't jump out at me even under high zoom.

Birks or Birk knock-offs...same thing as far as I'm concerned...It's like trying to distinguish between Kleenex and tissue...in a photo...If you want to call them knock-offs for arguments sake, I'm fine with it...But they look the same...

Until I see evidence of a lowered heel I'm not even going to call them knockoffs. From the available evidence, they are simply sandals.

No evidence of a lowered heel? Puzzzzy, you're better than that...I can clearly see the lowered heel in both shoes, and we know Rob wears Birks

Definitely a weak month. Even the shows when they were all in the same location were lame, we never heard about LFF's bad roll into the boat, his poor eating, or any of the other things they briefly mentioned. Instead, we get fireworks on a podcast and berating the intern over and over. Now, FDB is "playing to camera" on a daily basis. Hold that smoke detector up to the ipad, 30 people in the chat room are dying to see it. And regular technical difficulties. The extra commercials are not helping either. Really pathetic.
Yeah, I noticed that also. Perhaps he was upset and I hit a nerve? Incidentally, I was blocked by LFF not long after I posted my botched screen shot. Whoever posted all of that stuff really knows me well, too. Are we friends IRL?

I bow down to you, good sir. Even I, a vitriolic hater of the first rank, could not have imagined LFF would ever have gone there for a photo more than once.
Unless I missed something, to his credit Fuckwaddle took the high road on the Anthony Cumia issue. Did I miss it? Except for a brief reference on July 18?
I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't serve up some criticism. Apparently Fuckwaddle felt the need to spend a good portion of the bonus show on the Ukraine shootdown. Brilliant, breaking news on a podcast. With the best analysts on the planet!
Fortunately, Fuckwaddle has solved the case and it was definitely Russian separatists who did the shootdown, even though Ukraine has the exact same missiles.
And more to the point, he's (wait for it, America) "TIRED OF IT!"
Jesus Christ fuck this guy, when will a bus hit him?
LFF, in the tradition of Trump, a man he mocks for simplistic speech, honored Mikey, Jr. on the occasion of his 1st birthday with, "He's great." Being a dad is a good thing, right?

You mean when he was "one years old"?
Sorry, but fuck that guy. I want stupid Carla to get the insurance.
Peekza, No straws, just havent felt like it, "Best of the Worst Of..." wasnt my favorite thing when I did like them. And listening was a habit / addiction.
I went from everyday listener for several years to unsubscribing to daily downloads of the podcast. The bit last week where Mike displayed obvious jealousy over the success members of Oscar's family have earned was enough. The quality of the shows has declined a great deal in recent weeks, and I am done. Maybe I go back for a peek after a while, but not for the foreseeable future.

What's the over/under on how many times Robb and Mike utter the phrase "safe home" or "untimely passing" on Monday? Spewak has got to be beside himself, having to wait another day...
For my money, The Rockford Files was the best detective series on TV. Loved the supporting cast, particularly Angel, Dennis and Rocky. Great recurring appearances by Isaac Hayes and Tom Selleck. They should bury him in a gold Firebird. RIP James Garner.
Hearing LFF and Robb talk about his passing will just ruin the memory.
First, Rob probably won't even mention the Rockford Files because it is too recent. Next, since I doubt Robb ever watched a Western like Maverick, I assume he and Mike will talk about Garner's 1960s movie career. This will inevitably result in Rob and Mike confusing movies Garner was in for those starring Rock Hudson and George Hamilton.
It'll be interesting to see if Fatt Rob mentions that Garner was one of the top stunt drivers in Hollywood in the 60s. They stopped letting him do his own driving on the Rockford Files because of insurance costs, but found that his replacements couldn't deliver like he could so they let him go back to doing his own driving.

From tomorrow's newspaper:
TMOS fans are reeling today after it was announced that Robb Spewak, former radio intern and frequent middle school emcee, unexpectedly passed away last week. Mr Spewak was found dead on his Elvis Presley toilet early Friday morning by a female podcaster known as Cookies (or Cake). Cause of death was an impacted colon. An anonymous worker in the coroner's office stated, "There must have been 30 lbs of tater tot casserole in that booty."
Authorities notified Mr Spewak's wife, who was found in her car at her workplace parking lot weeping, apparently for unrelated reasons.
Mike O'Meara, Spewak's partner in their failed podcasting venture, was physically distraught upon hearing of Spewak's demise. "This whole experience has affected me deeply," he said. "I consider myself to be something of a Robb junkie. I've known him for literally 20 yrs. He always challenged me to bring my A game, and I valued his candor and the great debates we provided our listeners. My heart goes out to his wife Shannon and his dad, Horny Bob. Why does everything always happen to me?"
Mr Spewak's family intends to have Spewak's body cremated, pending a burning permit from the EPA. His ashes will then be spread over the state of Iowa, and any leftover ashes will be interred at an unnamed Northern Virginia landfill.

You forgot "I MEAN THAT, I REALLY DO"...
I will always remember watching James Garner in "McMillan and Wife" on Sunday summer nights in our New England family manse. I also loved him in "Mannix".
On Monday I plan to hang shit on Oscar because he knows nothing about 70's pop culture, as opposed to me.
It wasn't funny to start with and then you fucked up the names. Maybe you could be less of a helper and more of an observer.

"Mike" was the one who fucked up the names, because "Mike" loves to run his mouth without putting much thought into what he's saying, and he often doesn't pay attention to his own conversations.
Before you criticize some of the other posters, you need to understand that they are intentionally confusing Garner with Rock Hudson.

i was listening to the episode with the whole "have / has" thing. well, i'm not sure exactly when in the podcast, but robb did the exact same thing they were making fun of. they were talking about the VA, and whatever his sentence was contained "VA have".
i'm no grammatical expert, but since VA is a single entity, shouldn't that be "VA has"??
What a horrible show...Mike botched the James Garner opening...2 segments on a plumbing mishap/baby party...a short sermon on the Ukraine/Middle East...More JG in the news and audio vault...and Mike tries to claim that impressions are solely natural talent and they don't require work/practice...fucking brutal...

And this after last week where they even complimented Certa on the quality of his ad. Maybe his creativity (as well as Rob & Joe's) was making them nervous.
Don't want to put too much attention on the JV shows.

I just started today's episode. Holy Fuck, that's a terrrrrible Garner impression. Why even bother?
So they're sitting up there in Maine in a house with a dryer that doesn't work, bugs flying around and plumbing problems. That place must make the $20 motel they stayed at in Georgia look like the Taj Mahal.
Then Mike managed to fuck up the baby's birthday. Carla wanted a picture of the three of them taken at the same time that the baby was born.
But Mike had to call a plumber and an exterminator, and was so stressed out "from all those phone calls" that he couldn't be bothered. So Carla winds up going upstairs (probably in tears). That women must have the patience of a saint.
It really must seem worth it to drive all the way up the east coast, hauling a boat behind you the whole way, to be in such a vacation paradise.
I hate to bring up old, dark times...but why is Mike so weird about taking photos with his child? He was too stressed out from phone calls to take a picture at his son's birthday? This may be worse than the time he yelled at Carla for "ruining the moment" by snapping a pic of his holding the newborn baby.
Like, what is this? I don't know anybody who acts like this, at least as far as I know.

Last week and today, LFF is way too loud at times, and the level difference between Maine and the DC studio is obvious. He probably complained and made Fat Rob turn him up, and being the ass-licker he is, Fat Rob did it regardless of the end result.

The whole krewe stayed at LFF's family place for the first week, then he and Karla rented the current hovel for the other three weeks they're staying up there. He's mentioned that at least Kathy, if not other family members, also have houses nearby, where they've used the dryer. So why couldn't he have stayed the whole month in any one of those places, instead of throwing away more money that he doesn't have by renting? Or only gone up there for a shorter vacation while they had a free place to stay? Like so many of his money decisions, it makes absolutely no sense.

Even if it WAS, isn't that like a restaurant with really bad food bragging that the plates and silverware are REALLY clean?
I listened to a couple of minutes so I could see for myself. In the past, Mike has done a very good James Garner. Why was today's attempt so shitty? It was way too high. When he went to the lower register it was pretty good, but he kept it in that weird high pitch. It sounded pretty much like Smart Charly, so good call Cunning Mimic.

You nailed it Peekza. There is a very notable difference when you listen to Mikes impressions now compared to 10 years ago. Sounds like someone has mentioned to him that he literally and incidentally must spend 5 minutes developing new voices and 0 minutes practicing the old ones. Mikes not even going through the effort to mail it in..... he's just making weak throwing motions toward the mailbox.

Yes! yes! A thousand times yes. This is the new slogan for TMOS.
"Sound so clear, it is like they are not being funny in the same room"
