It's bad form for Mike to blow shit off at the station. He's on probation right now just like any other employee. I'm sure during station meetings, someone has already said, "Where's O'Meara?" It takes a long time to get to a point where you can roll in and roll out like O'Meara was doing at WJFK. This is a whole new ballgame.
