Yeah Klubbber till they slam the lid on the piano crate they bury him in

I thought Mike quit gambling? Maybe I'm wrong. If he did, it's over now.

Let's face it, the Jeter story was just an excuse for these guys to say, "Look at me!"

The main point of the story wasn't Jeter's walkoff RBI; it was the fact that Mike watched the event LIVE (on TV)! The Klubbers must be so happy for Mike (oh, and for Jeter, too).

Later, Mike compares Jeter's respect for his teammates to how much Mike has respected his Krewe over the years. He and Jeter are practically interchangeable.

That's why Jeter is always referred to as the Mike O'Meara of Baseball.

The only thing the two have in common is that both retired at age 40, but one of them won't admit it.

I won't go into Robb's latest cry for attention; it's pretty much a given.

I couldn't believe this when I heard it.

Good lord, today's show is a total facepalm.

Rob was at his most Rob. Every cliche, every interjection and jokey comment was spewed forth from that fat fuck at LEAST 3 times each. Just a complete interrupt fest.

Oscar had lots of interesting things to say about the LA Podfest but by all means let's not get to it because we have to keep interrupting the shit out of the guy. That and Mike is completely disinterested in what other, successful podcasts might be doing. Good call fatass, just keep doing the same old radio formula as always. That format served you so well and had nothing to do with you being fired from every station.

Fucking idiots.

Oscar's gotta look left and right, and think, "Damn, I'm not a fat drunken loser, what the hell am I doing here? OK, maybe I'm a loser, but I'm not drunk, and I'm not fat, and it's not too late for me."

No, I meant why would you think he quit gambling?

Jeter the MOM of baseball
Gretsky the MOM of hockey
Jordan the MOM of basketball
Ali the MOM of boxing

Have I missed any?

I might have to dial in today. I need a good cringe.

Oh, yeah. Other than that trip to the local dog park, he had stopped gambling only because of his lack of proximity to the slots in FL. He's also stopped using a snow blower.

He's a drunk. Passing out on top of his sister's dog on the landing of her staircase juuuuuust might qualify.

Somebody help me out here. Why do they think the phone ringing nonsense is funny? Robbbbbbb fucks it up everytime(because he is a HORRIBLE board-op) and they have to do it multiple times to get it right...Why continue? It'd be one thing if they EVER fixed anything in post, but they're too lazy

Exactly

Apparently, Irish stereotypes are offensive to Mike, but Italian stereotypes are ripe with comedy

I'm a fan and general defender of the show, but today's pod was frustrating. I get that part of the show is interjections during stories, but holy fuck, I really wanted to hear Oscar's story without a million fucking interruptions. Plus, a visit to a podcast festival should get more than one interruption-laden segment. It's like on the C&C show when Katie (yes, I listen) tries to get through a story, but it takes 22 minutes to get through what should be a seven minute story.

These comments were made today about SNL, do any of them apply to TMOS as well?

Reno, Reno, Reno....

Dan Towne is the prime example of what I don't understand about klubbers. Why would anyone want to walk that line between comedy fodder and hated listener? He is desperate for approval from the krewe, and will put up with mocking from the klub to get it.

Dan, since you probably come here like the rest of the klub, give it up. The krewe will use you as long as they can get the majority of the klub to go along and the klub will boot you as soon as you are inconvenient. Save a little dignity...... Might be too late to save much, but there's still a little there.

TMOS FFXU FAQ can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sN0tBBpVJHY95gnVdZ4yyJ0apKKA3I3wRO9yve79xTk/pub

Poor Dan, I looked at his Twitter and it revolves around TMOS and Star Trek. I followed him, and suggest you do the same, he needs more than 16 followers. Even I have more than that, and all I do is talk about how horrible RELM is for the most part.

Honestly guys(and whatever girls are here), I think Dan belongs here.

He doesn't have a choice, Bubby. He gets virtually no social validation in his daily life, and the club at least gave him a sense of belonging and camaraderie. When he finally received direct attention from moderate celebrities who are the root source of his perceived acceptance, he felt important, valued and known. It was probably one of the strongest, most affirming and exciting periods in his adult life.

He couldn't give it up. It would be like throwing away an attribute you most appreciate about yourself, that you think makes you unique and special.

The first thing he did after being booted was to try to establish his own self-moderated TMOS fan club. It's not healthy, but it is, from his perspective, a rational attempt to sustain his sense of worth.

Dan's not someone to abuse. He's not malicious, just desperate and afraid.

I can't believe I meant to listen to a cringe fest and then went on with my life and forgot. So I'm taking dates and time stamps and general descriptions of the 9/29 show? I might reload the 9/16 , mike compares being fat to being a burn victim. That is best of right there.
we totally need to make best of notes so when they go on Failcation we can listen to the hottest hits.

I pulled the comments from the final minutes of today's show

That's pretty much what I was thinking too David. The guy tries and tries, gets his 15 mins from what he thinks is the big time then gets thrown out. I try not to be malicious with most of my posts, I don't think I was with either of the above, but that's what it comes down to with the TMOS/klub relationship, Will could have just as easily said the same thing in a PM to Dan, which would have probably caused a deletion of the thread, but instead he decided to throw his weight around and pubicly humiliate him in front of a bunch of people that Dan thought of as actual friends.

I've not been posting here a long time, less than a year I think, but I do have a pretty good idea of who I can trust here, which is a lot more than I could say when I was using Facebook. Maybe that's what the anoniminity of this thread is good for, since no one actually knows who is here, everyone is a little more careful about giving too much about themselves away.

Do you like Robbbbbb's constant interruptions when some one else has an interesting story? Then you'll LOVE IT!

I think I hit it. We need best of for holiday Failcation. Plus Rob will post giant fat failaroids of his shitty kids. Hey Robb when your kid doesn't give a shit about the dog... and your wife goes on a date in Japan. I tip my hat. Because Robb doesn't give a shit either. I like Carey more she gets a passport to fuck some guy. Carla just rolls in country and starts at it..
hey Robb! What did Cary eat in Japan? Sumyunguy. The jokes write themselves. Laff at that in your xxxxxx Run DMC Shirt asshole. oh and shut the fuck up

OK, so I'm listening to today's show now, first impression? Maybe there was another wedding this weekend your audience was more interested in. A mention of it instead of the crappy Italian impression would have been more classy and interesting.

Ok.. strapping in for the 9/29 show. I'll report later

2nd impression: What happened to spotlighting band members? Is it too hard to get a list of those names? At least that idea was halfway original, but no, let's just go the easy route of naming a player each day because NO ONE knows who they are.

Mike O'meara radio entertainment. ..I can never get past that...Because it should be Failtainment..

Well they're sure right. I don't get it...

Every time I hear Robb's voice I smell Mike's asshole...or someone's. ..

This show sucks. Mike your show sucks! How do you sleep? Oh Kappy's check got here..

Looks like you made a full 35 minutes, way to go!

I appreciate the support but it was brutal. I don't want to kill Oscar but in la you bother celebs. They're ok with it. Rod Stewart and Ron Wood are besties forever. This obvious fact was lost on Oscar.
Thankfully neither failrobb or mike were there.
Of course mike went to a concert or something and the eagles got booed off stage. Then I made a note to self to buy a gun and bullets..then place gun in my ear and stop the madness. ...
oh and Robb. ..shut the fuck up

35 minutes I could have spent chewing gum

This might be a better idea than Vitriolic Hatred...just a clips show. The most absurd statements, rants, verbal crutches, politics, self-important moments, and delirious perspectives from the show. Who would post the episode on the fan page? (There's a way to do it without outing yourself, too)

But doesn't agree with it.

Of course Mike was aggressive in disrespecting the podcast festival podcasts. "All they do is talk." "I know comedians...pause...they are all snarky" He has to prove that the he's better than something, above it all, or somehow different. It reminded me of his unrequested "Sirius isn't for me" diatribe.

By the way, have a look at this roster: http://lapodfest.com/performers/

Some really good shows and interesting people were involved. Many of whom are touring performers...no guests in DC? I don't know them all, but the ones I've listened to are among my favorites. Also, several of these shows do have a format, Mike.

At least he acknowledged his ignorance after dissing them all, but he doesn't listen to podcasts. How does he know what they do? He said the other day that podcasts are not developing as quickly as he would like, but how would he know? More and more of my friends listen to podcasts. There's a lot of high concept or highly produced casts out there. Go listen to Superego - which is better written than SNL - and tell me that it is just comedians talking about comedy, Mike.

Get over yourself. It's bad radio for you to *vaguely and ignorantly* shit on the festival. Either let Oscar tell the story, or come up with some good negative material.

I'd love to see Graham Elwood respond to that clip haha.

I completely agree. There is so much good content out there that he doesn't even know about, and can't be bothered to learn about.

They were making fun of The Crabfeast podcast. If they'd actually listen to it, they'd realize that it's touring comedians Ryan Sickler and Jay Larsen and they are beyond hilarious. They also have gotten guests that TMOS couldn't ever HOPE to get. And here's the key, they get a great, funny engaging guest and they LET THEM TALK. They tell stories, they LISTEN to each other, and they entertain. And like many of the great podcasts out there, they aren't rigidly sticking to a time format. If it goes 2 hours because it's fun and funny, then they just go with it. TMOS offends me because it's like Mike says he likes doing the show, but he can't wait to be done with it. He claims to love it, but bitches when he actually has to do it. And when it's over, he speeds the fuck out of there.

Mike is so stuck in this old format/style that he's a fucking dinosaur. I've said it a thousand times, podcasting isn't radio. Radio is a dead medium, no one gives a shit about radio anymore. If podcasting is the future of broadcasting then stop dragging old ideas into the new format.

WTF, Adam Carolla, Earwolf, The Nerdist, Doug Loves Movies etc, they all figured it out. They realized that the joy of podcasting is that they DON'T have to follow the tired old conventions anymore.They get to do a show that they want and guess what? THEY'RE FUNNY AND SUCCESSFUL.

LFF will never allow himself to learn that or admit that because it would mean he would actually have to admit he doesn't know something and that's just never going to happen.

I agree someone needs to check mic on his ignorant stance on the festival, I don't think Graham Elwood is funny at all. Let Jay Larson or Ryan Sickler from The Crabfeast have at the failcast

What would be the downside to the LFF taking tmos to an event like that?

Oh man, Graham Elwood on Doug Loves Movies makes me laugh like hell every single time.

Hey peek or bubby, we need a daily tote board of the number of days Carla's been in Maine (or wherever she may be) without LFF, a la Nightline and the Iran hostage crisis.

Actual real comedians would just cringe listening to Rob and his "humor". He is simply a hack and not remotely funny. If anyone ever has a voice or throat issue? Here comes the coughdrop gag!. And talk about Oscar at all? Here comes the "amaaazing" or just put the word "Bolivian" in front of something and it's instant comedy right?! I've honestly never heard someone who just recycles the shit out of 3 or 4 concepts for years, and then pats themselves on the back for being a wit. That and he constantly laughs at his own "jokes" which is a cardinal sin.

Clearly, you just don't get it.



Congrats, by the way...

Spewak thinks it's great humor to use hacky comedy lines, since he knows they're hacky and it's therefore a funny bit to knowingly use them. See, it's funny (to him) because he knows they're NOT funny.

At least he's enjoying himself. And LFF, clearly.

And in TINY doses, that kind of thing is funny. Or, it can be, in the hands of someone who's funny. Which he's not. When your ONLY move is reaching back for the same hacky crap you used yesterday, and last week, and last month, and last year, it's not ironic -- you're a hack.

No offense to retarded people but I think Spewakk might be one of you. Watching live on ustream right now, LFF plays a funny sound and Spewakk squirms and giggles maniacally. It literally looks like a grownup shaking a key-chain to make a baby laugh.

It has been 0 days since LFF yelled at Spewakk for being lazy or doing something stupid

Sure, Marc Maron would eviscerate TMOS, but maybe they'd gain a listener or 2.

Likely the real reasons are:
1) It would cost $
2) It would require the LFF to do work
3) The LFF's ego can't handle being shown up by successful podcaster
4) The TMOS audience might learn about funny podcasts

After listening to TMOS hack shit for so long, it was amazing to me to listen to Norm Macdonald's podcast where there are many humorous things said, and NOT SELF ACKNOWLEDGED in ANY way. I have had some huge laughs with quality shows like his and others.

I almost never laugh during TMOS. or chuckle. or even smile.

It's not funny.

Good job, guys.

I just wish it would go ahead and end. I'd rather use the time for actual entertainment, but I'm trapped in a death-watch.

Attachments:

How long has Carla been gone? Three weeks or so? Anyone know when she's coming back, is it going to be just in time for the baptism?

Funny how Mike never mentioned his disdain for other podcasts when his good friend Patton Oswalt appeared on his show last and was commenting on what a cool medium it was to directly reach your fans. Mike and Robb wanted to play radio instead, and Patton indulged them because he is a decent guy.

Oh and Robb is the Rip Taylor of podcasting.

Oh boy, tuned in just in time to hear the intern listing his diseases.......

But what Katie does that neither Oscar or Mike does is to basically shut Robb down when he starts getting out of hand. You can hear it happen, he starts riffing while she is trying to tell a story, and she will either flat out tell him to shut up, or you can hear her get frustrated and she obviously gives him a look or something and he quiets right down.

I honestly think Cake and Cookies is a better show than TMOS because the shtick is kept to a minimum.

You know that he would take that as the highest of praise and not a criticism right?

Robb's problem is that he thinks every any comment he can make is a funny joke. "They should rename the team the Washington Jeters." Mike laughed. Really.

He discovered callbacks but doesn't understand them.

That's a good idea.

Watching Robb (long ago) I learned I had that horrible habit too and stopped doing it. Improved my life quite a bit.

Thanks Robb! You're the best negative role model ever.

Holy crap I forgot about Norm MacDonald's podcast. You're right, it's brilliant and funny as hell. And for all the right reasons.

Did the DG show ever start again? Any news on that front? Anybody want to hazard any guesses? Gotta say, I'm bored with DG too, but what he MIGHT be doing is still more interesting than TMOS. Blah. Off to check out the Norm MacDonald podcast, thanks for the suggestion...

Did you enjoy listening to LFF's ethnic music beds the first 6 times? Then you are in for treat with today's show opening; you can hear them again in all their failitude.

Because Mike seriously thinks Rob is hilarious. Mike actually called him "brilliant" when it comes to comedy, just about a week ago. It's no wonder that the show is so bad when their sense of humor is so skewed.

Un fucking believable. I guess it was for the first time listeners *snort*

Has LFF had a stroke and doesn't remember doing this a half dozen times already? Is it alcoholic dementia? If it's pure laziness, this is a stunning new level of laziness. Think he's actally doing the show laying on his bed staring up at the ceiling while Frankie shits in the corner?

I wonder if he'll even gather the energy to meet Carla in VA for the baptism.

Today's DGS starts with a rant about Ustream. Say what you want, Don may be an ass, but the controversies are what everyone misses about the old D&M, and he's still bringing them.

He'll be OK, baptism's in FL. His big contribution is going to classes so he can be a member of the church his sons getting baptized at.

Yeah, I just heard that. Thought it was up north. I guess he'll probably make it then.

Since Mike no longer has to pretend he is a fan of the Redskins, I would have loved to have a been a suitcase dodging fly on the wall last night while he watched the Patriots get their asses handed to them by the Chiefs.
His love for all Boston sports teams makes him that much more annoying to me.

I wouldn't know, I still don't have the code for DGS.

At least Don really treats his podcast like a radio show; it is exactly the same as his show on KHTK when I listed to that on podcast. Mike only formats his show because they have that one station in Iowa to worry about.

How pathetic is the Hawkeye buttkissing, especially by Robb?

No, he's a Giants fan. Because he's from Connecticut.

Oh, I recall well, back on the old D&M show, when the fat loser formally abandoned the G-men in favor of the Skins. He showed the same credibility and character that he always does -- NONE.

I'm going accept the Cake and Cookies challenge.Any recs on an episode?

Good luck, man.

I bailed after 5 minutes.
