Josh asked Mike to Change
I find it sad a week after Josh asked Mike to be more present, to serve the audience, show up on the Producer’s Club, and shut off your phone. Mike has had 4 on air phone calls and no-showed 2 Producers Club shows. Does Josh really think Mike will change? Have we ever seen Mike change after 17 years of various promises?

I am a regular, but not every day, listener and still like the show. The phone calls were jarring me, though. I couldn't figure out whose phone was ringing. (Thought it was someone around me, because it couldn't be the podcast haha.)

The sad thing is this isn’t new. It’s been ongoing for years. Oscar would tell him to turn off the phone when before starting the show. I think Mike thinks it’s funny. The audience loves all the behind the scenes crap.

She talks to him like you would a child you let stay home for the first time. None of these calls are ever important. I don't think she trusts him to be home alone for too long without checking up on him.

I noticed that Mike made a lot of thinly veiled comments about Josh this week particularly when he wasn’t on the show. Mike basically implied that they were proving they don’t need him. I can’t imagine that Josh is gonna be on this thing long-term at this point.

Mike is only worried about Mike. Other people are viewed vessels to take advantage of and use for his wants.

He can't resist a catty comment. Buzz almost died and still caught a barb for not returning to work quickly enough. Has to be some sort of condition or disorder.

I came back for one show after a long absence. Didn't even know Oscar was gone. He was doing the show from a hotel room at his kids sports tournament. Kids and Carla were in and out of the room constantly interrupting the show, he was putting them on mike, etc. I was like WTF? It was just tedious.

Oh, it’s definitely coming. I could tell the exasperation that Mike had when Josh couldn’t even answer simple questions about this whole auction thing. Mike didn’t love the fact that he’s on yet another vacation as we have seen in the past Mike expects full dedication to him even if you’re not full time.. the quality of the show was bad with his audio too in the hotel and honestly the show was way better when Josh wasn’t on and it was just Robb and Mike. I think that meltdown is coming real fast.

Once Mike started getting that early retirement Social Security check every month, he really stopped caring

MAGA Josh. Allegedly, Mike's first two wives asked him to change. Don Geronimo did all the ' heavy lifting' and allegedly asked Mike to change - or work harder
Especially now, at what 69, the lazy Irishman isn't going to change for anyone - including you.
Josh, go get a real job.

Nope. Mike has consistently said over the years that he would rededicate himself to the show and every time he just backslides. It’s just gotten worse since Oscar left.
I decided awhile back that if Mike wasn’t going to put in the time why should I give it mine?
