That comment of Mike's blew me away. I guess he thought Don was supposed to stay married to him forever.

If Mike's so concerned about his career and his podcast, then he needs to step it up. Reading listener mail and Rob's posts on Facebook? Who in their right mind would consider that entertainment? It's just lazy.

I noticed something else on last Friday's podcast too. Chad brought a breath of fresh air to the show. I've always thought he was the Donnie G. of Big O & Dukes and I thought the same thing when I listened to that podcast. Oscar is just lame by comparison.

So what you really have there are two second bananas trying to do a show. (Well, four, if you count Buzz and Robb.) Speaking of Robb, Chad seemed a little bewildered by all the drunken giggling Mike and Robb were doing over their little inside jokes that no one else gets.

You and me both, Chad!

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before Mike has a blow out over this.

He won't be able to restrain himself. I'm sure he thinks that if CBS would have put half as much promotional energy into his show as they did for Don he would still be on WJFK with good ratings. Losers in life always blame others for their own failures.

There will be a syndication deal for Don soon and this will be the time to start watching Mike for an ultimate meltdown. He has been setting small fires on the few bridges he has left but this will cause him to go nuclear.

Mike will certainly take credit for Don's success because he thinks it was the essential ingredient "MOM" that made the DGS brand so successful over the last 20 years. He'll say "If it wasn't for me Don wouldn't have his sweet deal".

It tends to catch up with them sooner or later, too. If you look at Mike's life and career, the only thing he hadn't blown up was his relationship with Don....up until Don quit. Now Mike has virtually nothing. I'm sure when the house goes, Carla will go with it.

Typical delusional muttering from MOM - his situation in life is someone else's fault.

Yawn...

Maybe if he had done **something** with the JFK MOMS instead of playing it safe and depending on a loser like Rob(b) for show content (Power of whatever...) he'd still have a gig - but to that he would have had to jettison Rob(b), Buzz and BA and try to remake himself as a sports guy.

And that would have taken effort, not something MOM is good at.

True. I heard him promoting a live appearance for Saturday. I think that's the first one on a weekend I've heard for him since he's been at Citadel.

I mean, the guy puts no fucking effort into making The Edge show a success. Yes, they may pay shit. But if Mike had half a fucking brain he'd realize that if he were able to get the show up in the ratings, he would be in a position to negotiate a better gig either with Citadel or at another station. Instead, he wants to coast.

Coasting is fine. Just don't bitch about it when you start losing your shit to creditors.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

You have to give the guy credit...

He has invented his whole persona, the arrogant, narcissistic, gasbag that is constantly put upon by everyone else. Most people couldn't sleep at night with what should be weighing on Mike's mind every night. O'Meara has totally convinced himself that he has done no wrong and the next gravy train is seconds away from pulling into the station. Meanwhile as he coasts through his failing morning show, and naps through his daily internet jamboree, he's actively burying himself deeper into a denial filled hole.

If only he applied all of this mental effort into producing a good radio show. Of course that would totally ruin our little soap opera here. It's way more fun to sit back and watch as Mike's laxity bites him in the ass. I wonder what's just around the corner?

I think O'Meara thinks the pod cast is going to blow up (in a good way, not the way it's going to really blow up) so his **paying** gig is beneath his mad talent level, so it gets half his effort.

Someone's priorities are way out of whack.

He's living in a dream world. Nobody is making money on podcasting alone, much less with 15,000 listeners (or, more realistically, a few thousand), and five or six people to pay. Look at this idiot's business model and it's easy to see why his bar failed. The guy has the business acumen of Karl Marx.

Yeah, the show isn't that great yet but it's still worth listening to compared to other programs. I like it, but there are reasons to criticize it; some of the bits are lame and I hate they way Mike badmouths Beth Ann McBride. Not sure what she ever did to Mike but his crude, vulgar remarks about her appearance only make him seem like a nasty person and are a big turn-off. I think if they can cut that kind of crap and follow through with getting Joe Ardinger back onto the show they can make things alot better. But supposedly WJFK is playing serious hardball over Ardinger's contract, so who knows if that'll ever happen?

It's still not as bad as some people are saying though.

Joe Ardinger isn't trying to get out of a paying gig to end up on that shitfest, is he??? WTF is he thinking?

As for Mike's remarks about BA, that should tell you everything you need to know about the man. Real class act, there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

WTF are you talking about, Ardinger never had a contract...

I'm assuming that this was an attempt at sarcasm. FAIL!

Joe is probably telling the MOM crew that he has a contract in order not to end up in their situation.

Oh, come on - who hired Beth Ann?

O'Meara was out of ideas before he started the MOM Show, so he tried to re-create the D&M show without the most important ingredient - Don. Rob(b), Buzz and BA weren't going to make the MOM Show a success on any level.

BA did what she was asked to do, her mike time was O'Meara's idea - she wouldn't have been in studio and on mike if O'Meara didn't want that to happen.

Mike. He did it as a parting "fuck you" to Don, who thought BA sucked as a producer and said so many times on the air (and who probably would have fired her if she hadn't landed that gig in BFE at the time).

That, and the fact that Mike wanted to show Don he could succeed where Don failed, getting the no talent BA to produce.

Don understood that BA, Rob(b) and Buzz were like pepper. A little dash here and there were enough to spice up the show. But Mike opened the bottle and poured all of that shit all over the studio and it SUCKED.

Bingo. I remember the very first MOMS on WJFK. After listening to the very first segment I knew the old D&M show was gone, replaced with nothing but cheap, forced laughs, third-rate and third-grade humor, and a whole ton of bitching from Mike himself.

Remember the time Mike made her shave her head on air? It was something she said "she wanted to do anyways" though. Sure. And Robb spent years not mentioning his kid's illness and suddenly goes public with it on a very special episode of Mike's show, all of his own free will.

I think Oscar needs to step it up a bit, he's usually the one to keep things moving. If you think the show scks now, it would be 1000 times worse if Oscar wasn't there.

Shit, I almost forgot...

If Buzz makes it through the rest of today then somebody just lost the pool. Who had that square again?

I would like to say that I HATED Beth-Ann on the old JFK Mike O Meara show... only listened for the Audio Vault and hearing her voice was worse than Freda.

What is the deal with Buzz?

I'm hoping Buzz has a full and speedy recovery from his illness.

Sure... I don't like Buzz either, but c'mon, show a little compassion and respect for the poor guy. He's been in the hospital since last week with pneumonia, sedated and on a ventilator. I won't even joke about the guy now. Some things are just off limits. For the sake of his family, I hope he pulls through. He still has plenty of life left to live.... and still time to escape the failcast.

Wait, Buzz has pneumonia? Funny how no one from MOM notifies DCRTV or any other outlet. Bet if Mike stubbed his fucking toe, it would be all over the Internet.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

Go fuck yourself…

Buzz will be fine, he just needs some time in a hospital to heal. I really have no sympathy for a guy who HAD walking pneumonia and continued to suck on menthols the whole time. It really wasn’t a surprise that he ended up needing a ventilator. Buzz really needed to take better care of himself, perhaps this is a wakeup call. I do feel bad for his wife though.

All desperate and unintelligent "Go fuck yourself..." responses aside (stick to the clever photoshops instead) and since we're now playing amateur fucking doctor around here, I've got to wonder if Buzz picked up a bacterial infection from that two-bit facelift he got from the failcast's sponsor a while back?

He didn't seem to really sound like shit until AFTER the surgery. And the lung problems lingered on for months. On the failcast he did say he was seeing a doctor for it. Hmmmmmmmm.

The MOMS crew seem like the type of dirty, infected, unkempt folk to stay away from... Oscar develops staph infections from a cactus in Phoenix (WTF?), Robb has bloody stool problems, Buzz's pneumonia and Mike's mental issues make this a perfect crew for first year med students to practice on.

Why's he play all of these movies clips on his podcast show ...*sigh*.

My brother runs this bar now, but yea I've noticed that Mike hasn't got the business sort of mind. Don Geronimo was the business guy and Mike was the wacky voices guy. Not saying that Mike has got bad radio skills, but just that he hasn't got that build a successful business accurately kind of mind.

Relax your slacks "Howard"...

I have no problem with you, just your holier-than-thou attitude. Maybe you haven't noticed but the moral high ground you are treading on is covered with shit. If you really respected Buzz you wouldn't be here discussing the details of his hospital stay.

That being said, I do wish him well, I just don't have much sympathy for a guy who huffs on Kools while he has a respiratory infection.

I remember back on the D&M WJFK show how Rob(b) was laughing about Elizabeth Edwards getting cancer, saying, "Now maybe she can lose some weight."

I thought it was pretty appalling at the time, but even more so after learning that Rob(b)'s kid had a form of cancer. Who the fuck would say something like that? How does Rob(b)'s mind work?

The "hot talkers" at JFK weren't a sensitive bunch, that's for sure.

On a very rainy Sunday, we truged up to the Captial Hill and bid farewell to late President Gerald Ford and wished his daughter well as she was greeting visitors with her brother.

The next morning, Cakes and EB on the Junkies were SCREAMING - "Who cares that some old man died". That was one of the most shameful espisodes I can remember in that shows history.

No one was minding the store at JFK, not that anyone was going to reign in Donnie G. when he had the ratings going in his favor...

I realize the whole "shock jock" aspect of it. I just don't understand how Rob(b) could make a cancer joke when his own kid had it. That's pretty fucking cold.

They were only sensitive when it came to people poking fun at them. Exhibit A: Michael O'Meara.

Rob(b) has the mind of a child...

This is the same guy who is currently playing deejay instead of putting food on the table. This is the same guy who hooked up jumper cables backwards and called ems to help him unhook them. I can go on, believe me I can...

So joking about cancer when his child is in the thick of it, just to get a cheap chuckle is not really out of bounds when ol' Rob(b) reaches into his comedy grab bag. He's shitting on his kids yet again this holiday season, in fact, there would be no Christmas for the Spewak kids if not for his wife's job at Target and the stream of free money known as credit cards.

God bless us, every one!

When the wife and kids went on that trip to Iowa...did they come back? I hope not, for their sake.

Mike is an obnoxious loudmouth who looks like Fred Flintstone, but isn't as likable. Here's a tip, Mike. You need to turn down your microphone. I can hear your labored breathing even when the other guys are talking.

Robb is a pasty, morbidly obese girly man who thinks if he grows his hair long and wears it in a pony tail, he'll actually look cool. The pony tail will totally override the pasty, obese part.

I managed to bring myself to listen to the failcast today. Mike has finally figured out that it's a bad idea to plan a trip to Buffalo and Toronto in late December. Yep, another genius move.

I might listen to the podcast when they get back from their trip just to hear how miserable it was. Dress in layers, Carla. You're going to need it.

They also talked about Buzz being in the hospital. He has severe pneumonia. He'll be ok, but he has to stay in hospital for a while to recuperate. Mike said, "He's very sick....but we knew that going in...HA HA HA!!"

What an ass. I swear I think Mike's drinking during the podcasts now. It's not just that he's not funny. He says things that are really inappropriate.

I wonder which fellow Citadel employee is leaking this to DCRTV?

Hmmm. I wonder....

DCRTV hears from an insider that there may be a big shake-up at troubled Citadel news talker WMAL. We hear that morning man Fred Grandy "is at odds with management over creative concepts and style." More: "Fred badly wants out," we're told. "The place is a mess and Drew (Hayes) managing from Chicago is a disaster. It is a shame, but Citadel is a horrible company."

What the Hell's wrong with Don's voice? I occasionally try listening to him, but he sounds like a chain smoking bull frog gargling phlegm. If he cares about the audience, why doesn't he do something about it? Jeez, he talks for a living. The bare minimum is to have a listenable voice. I can overlook his limited vocabulary, and recycled humor, but that voice! How can you listen to him?

How can you?

PS: Hows the business going, Mike?

What happened to his vocal form?

HoneyDipCrisp
Donnie G. developed some vocal problems back in the waning years of the Dons and Mike show. Constantly having to clear his throat and tired voice. The problem was discussed maybe once briefly on the D&M show. Nothing specfic about the cause of the problem with his voice. Polyps or worse? Yes I'd sit 3 inches away from MY portable GE radio and listened to every minute of the show in those days. I'm sick Don, I'm very very sick. If you can find the audio from Donnie g. appearance on WNEW last year as a fill in his voice sounds like shit. It is better now but I think he still has the tired voice problem after too much talking and/or screaming.
I'd think he would want to keep his vocal problems on the QT. Radio is his life.

FOR THE LOVE OF QUEERSATAN GET THE EFFING SOUNDBOARD AWAY FROM THE LAZY FAT f*CK

I just think it is interesting that The Edge gave Mike a chance and in return he is complaining about his janitor wages, blowing out early and doing the bare minimum. He already struck out at CBS and is doing so again at Citadel. How many more companies does he intend to alienate with his shitty attitude and poor work ethic?

You would think even dim-bulb Spewak would see the writing on the wall in terms of hitching his wagon to O'Meara.

Rob(b) could be sitting at a desk in Fairfax, still working for CBS with health benefits for his kids, if he had realized that MOM was bad news.

Spewak was around long enough to see O'Meara's drinking/personal relationship/money problems were a pattern and not isolated periods of bad judgement or luck.

It's not that Robb is a "dim bulb". He's not stupid, merely delusional and a megalomaniac.. He's a radio/podcast superstar! He CAN'T fail! Look at all the five star reviews on iTunes! Look at all the downloads! Look at my gig at KCJJ! This has to be real!
It's just a ride that they all need to get off.

All of the best podcasts are the ones where the hosts have no pretenses about making a living off of it. If the MOMS crew was simply doing it for fun, I can only imagine that the show would improve at least SOMEWHAT. Maybe?

As I said before, Rob(b) is a fucking "man child." He wants to dress up and play DJ while his wife and kids go without. He's not an adult. He's spent 20 years being a "danger boy." Hell, Teapot Tim grew up and got a real job.

Rob(b) doesn't have the chops to succeed in radio. He never has. I'm sure Don probably took him aside a few times during the 90s and let him know this. If Don made any mistakes, it was not firing his ass during one of Rob(b)'s many fuck ups. It would be a case of being "cruel to be kind" and may have woken Rob(b) up from his fantasy world while he was still young enough to do something else.

here's your chance to vote as Mike O' Meara squares off against Howard Stern for best radio program:

no stuffing the ballot box, lol (wink wink)

Junkies v. Mike, that contest was established a while ago, by a little company called Arbitron. We all know the results of that...

As for Stern, I can give you one hundred million reasons why he's better.

If Robb has any kind of chance for a career at KCJJ then he should pack up his family and move to Iowa asap, instead of pissing his life away in Mike's living room. At least the cost of living is cheaper out there.

+1. Couldn't agree more - don't make the same mistake twice. I think Rob(b) pissed away a decent career at CBS by listening to bad advice and "following his dream".

If he moved to Iowa, he'd have a chance to start over and build something, and maybe realize that if he can't make it at KJCC, it's time to stop playing "radio boy" and move on, once and for all.

Even if he worked at Domino's in Iowa, he'd be further ahead than what he's doing here.

Don's breaking it down as we speak. He's basically saying the old show was his, he did all the work, the other guys just had their names attached to it. Good for him.Maybe it'll be a reality check for Mike, et all...but I doubt it.

What really? On his show?

Edit: Oh hey he is.

And that's why on Don's last day on the air, he simply tells Mike: "Don't eff it up." Because that's exactly it! It was his show going on without him. HIS show. Even if you don't like it, the Don Geronimo show as it exists now is just how the D&M show WAS.

So maybe we can end the thread right here, even though I have found it very entertaining and, at times, enlightening as to the current state of the radio and podcast business.

What's the BIBLE? Never heard of it. Is it any good? Fiction? Nonfiction? Fill me in. Wait, is that the book where the hippie turns water into beer? Yeah, I think I have heard of it. Oh wait, I know a joke about it: "Some hippie gets nailed to a board, and now I have to buy my uncle a shop-vac every December."

Heh...no.

If this is the real Carla, I hope you use what you have learned here to confront Mike with his efforts to run you and your finances into a ditch. As a "CFO," this should be obvious to you already. If not, you need to take some more evening classes at NoVA.

You don't have to worry about it. Trolls have no soul

I listened to Don's show yesterday regarding MOM and company. He very graciously stuck a knife in those fuckers. I liked how he complimented them while explaining that HE did everything.

While Don was responding to a listener, I think his comments were directed more toward what Mike and Buzz have said recently. It sounds to me like Don was telling Mike to shut the fuck up about Don supposedly ruining Mike's career. As Don explained, Freda's death or not, he was going to leave the show and those guys knew it.

What's even more irksome is Mike's selfish attitude. He's angry at Don for leaving early....even though his wife had died and he was having major issues with it. Some friend Mike was. What a selfish prick.

Don wasn't obligated to do anything for Mike. Don was the one who went out of his way to make sure the MOM crew had a job at WJFK when he left. Mike had more than a year to make it work and he fucked it up.

You know who ruined Mike's career? MIKE.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

It'd be nice if Don would finally man-up and admit to some of the horrible things he did to Mike shortly after he left. Bad mouthing him behind his back to JFK mgmt., harassing him with crank phone calls, spreading rumors about him, backstabbing him every step of the way. No holds barred. Don was doing anything he could to fuck with MOM, because deep down inside he knew it would pay off in the long-run.

Of course he won't admit to any of this, he's too arrogant, too self-centered. I give Don credit for making D&M the great show that it was, he dredged almost all the credit. But his cowardice and immaturity should not go ignored. He should be ashamed at the things he's done to Mike.

Didn't Don have some negotiations with CBS regarding Mike before he left?

I seem to remember that Don and/or Mike wouldn't be in studio for a while and when they returned they talked about being in "talks" with the higher-ups.

I thought that Don had agreed to keep the D&M show on for a few months longer in return for the rest of the crew being kept on by WJFK and given a shot at their own show. Am I remembering that correctly?

Heh! What's heppenin! I'm Gumdrop! (not MIKE!!)

Wanna see my boob? I have 4!

I have to ask, for those who are podcast aficionados, has anyone actually tuned into the video feed?

And Don used to prank-call Mike? On the program?

This some of the most retarded pro-O'Meara bullshit ever posted on this thread.

CBS management knew exactly what they were getting with O'Meara. That's why he was given a very stern talking to before the MOMS launched, and he suddenly became "Mr. CBS Radio", calling the Junkies, based the MOMS in Fairfax, participated in company events like the Xmas party, etc. In other words, doing stuff he would never would when D&M were riding high.

I suspect, at some point Michael Hughes or someone else at CBS may have approached Don and said "have you lisented to the MOMS? How is Mike doing?".

Don may have said "not good, in fact is kinda sucks".

That's not backstabbing, that was/is the truth.

Please state ONE prank call Don make to Mike.
I'll hang up and wait for your answer.
And as far as backstabbing goes, how about the bum's rush Mike and Company gave Don the day and days after he left?
I'm also quite sure Don spent time calling his ex CBS bosses about Mike's show.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Seems to me only Mike, Rob(b) or another member of the MOM crew would know some of these things.

Suffice it to say, if Don did those things, that would be regrettable. However, if Mike had been worth a shit at WJFK, that would all be irrelevant now. Everyone gets badmouthed and back-stabbed at one time or another. It only matters if you can't deliver the goods. Mike couldn't.

Seems to me Mike's failure helped take down Hughes, too. It would have been kind of stupid on Hughes part to work with Don...who he hated...to fuck over Mike on his watch.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

no, not on the air, Don was pranking him at home and on his cell phone, and he had other people doing it too. and not funny shit either, it was real abusive and borderline threatening. even at like 3 or 4 in the morning they were waking Mike out of bed and tormenting him with all kinds of vulgar language and verbal abuse. I'm sure Don gets a good laugh out of it though, cuz he's a coward.

I won't say how I know, but no I'm not Robb or mike, or anyone from their show.

Don't underestimate Hughes duplicity, he knew he was in trouble, the MOMS was tanking and it was on his watch, I think he do anything to survive including reaching out to Don if need be. Yeah, they hated each other, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

It is interesting that O'Meara and Hughes were jettisoned in the sports talk flip at JFK and the Junks and the behind the scenes people like CK survived.

Who knows what CBS was thinking, but reading the tea leaves it seems Hughes and O'Meara got fingered for JFK's problems, which really haven't got much better since the flip.

Radio is wacky - Don guests on JFK and may be headed back in a syndication deal. Who would have thunk it?

Or someone Mike pissed off at a bar, or someone Mike yelled at or insulted at a golf course.

Or maybe someone Mike wouldn't let into the "VIP Section" at O'Meara's, the retired, undisputed champion of Virginia ABC violations.

True. But I've been back-stabbed in my career and as long as you deliver, nobody gives a fuck in the end.

Was Don supposed to say Mike was great when he wasn't? And even if he did, would Don's endorsement do anything to stop Mike's slide in the ratings?

I remember once Mike didn't show because JFK and/or CBS wouldn't give him a straight answer as to what was happening when Don left, and Don turned the whole show that day into "Best of Mike." Of course, that's on-air stuff. It could have been a backhanded form of "help" from Don. "Here, let me get on the air and make a big fuss about yoooooouuuuuu," but it also could have been a legitimate "Hey management, yes or no? Enough playing around. I'm out whether you like it or not. What's gonna happen to these guys I work with?"

It was a CBS corporate decision to flip. It didn't help that TMOS was too expensive for a middle of the road show, let alone a poorly performing one. Hughes made some bad decisions during his stay at JFK, but what really did him in was redundancy. There was simply no need for the guy.

So CBS trimmed the deadwood. While ratings did not increase much, the bottom line looks a lot better now that they have a clean house.

I wonder what the story was behind the gig at The Edge. I mean, Mike was rumored to have had morning drive there in December 09. Then the thing seemed to have blown up and Mike launched this stupid podcast.

There were rumors put out there that Jack Diamond somehow put the kybosh on it. In hindsight, I find that highly unlikely.

So what was the story? Did Citadel offer Mike a gig (sans MOM crew) for less than a princely sum demanded by Mike? I seem to recall in the waning days at WJFK Mike boasting that he could go across the street and get a good paying gig, no problem. Was Mike that out of touch with reality that he passed on a $200K gig that he's now probably getting paid $80K for because he has to share the spot with Kirk?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

That duplicitous comment hits the nail on the head. Hughes is a real ass who created a giant mess over there during the whole process. He didn't know what the hell he was doing, and would go to great lengths to create bad blood and play people off each other. He's the one who lied to convince Mike that all the D&M fans would stay on board with the MOMS. It was like throwing gasoline on the fire. The man did nothing but lie and forge false promises, and boy he sure got what he deserved!

Where's Hughes now? I feel like a TON of radio execs have been getting the boot lately.

Mike was a fucking immature idiot if he thought any GM's "promises" meant shit. Don understood that. Mike didn't. He thought he could have a shitty show that was driving away advertisers and a GM's word would keep his job intact. Boy did Mike get what he deserved.

Hey! Get the fuck off the computer, and get back to work, Charlie! There's a lot of "Signature Service" oil changes that need to get done before 6:00!

Priceless quote from Don about the D&M show: "I worked with talented people, who reacted to THE SHOW I SET UP FOR THEM...".

He also said some people resent him for working for CBS since they got fired - and he feels bad about that (...well maybe not...).

Pinch it and curl it Posse O'Meara.

I take it they announced that on the air.

I guess they didn't think that iTunes was using their cookies in their temp files to inform them of "Best Podcasts of the Year."

Sorry, but there is no announcement from iTunes that MOM is Best of Anything. It's a marketing gimmick for people who already listen to the podcast.

You're wrong. Go to the itunes store. itunes announced the 25 BEST PODCASTS OF 2010. And The Mike O'Meara Show was included. Again, congratulations. What a great week. The one year anniversary, Buzzy is getting better, and now this recognition from itunes. It's great to be alive.

Congratulations? For what? Accomplishing nothing?

You know what you guys accomplished this year?

Rob(b) lost his kids' home.

Mike found out he can't refinance his house.

Rob(b) almost burned up a car a listener donated to him.

Nobody showed up to any of your fucking events (that's why you don't do them anymore).

Buzz got his face cut up and never got "his money," whatever that means.

All of you morons realized Don is gone for good and are fucking bitter about it.

Congratulations on the Top 25 podcasts. That and no insurance won't treat your pneumonia.

Cite? I am old and do not generally listen to hip-hop/rap, but this has piqued my interest...are you sure it is "menstrual" show characters, and not "minstral" show characters. There is probably a big difference between the two.
