The fuck is Lossless doing? Redbar isn't infallible, but he's right on target with Denny; he's a lying, failing charlatan who deserves the fool's treatment.

agreed. he's a newer fool though, outside of Melton getting him an opener spot, mike doesn't even talk about josh denny until fairly recently.

I've only known of Mike for a few years now, found out about him when he was taking a break. I think he's a cool dude. He emails fans back for no reason still and gives real responses when he doesn't have to. The show has definitely gone down hill as of late in my opinion but his lows are still higher than any other podcast's highs that I'm aware of. Him going back and forth on supporting Palestine/Israel while watching the protestors disrupt Seinfeld's show the other day was cracking me up.

I've only been watching for about 3 years and the clips I've seen, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. But while 2018 through the long hiatus seems like the peak, I don't see a dramatic fall other than the fact that those years were so good.
of all fucking people, I think Aaron Imholte got it right in his commentary on the Sven call when he said the curren show is missing the spontaneity of what it used to have.
I can see that point, but I don't understand Lossless's criticism that the show "went soft" or some shit.

Lossless is a really bad and also jealous imitation of Mike. I gave him a chance when he started streaming again but I can't watch more than a few minutes usually. He even copies Mike's mannerisms and shit it's pretty gay. Mike has gone soft in some ways though. He talks about a lot of shit that Jules obviously got him into and he would've talked mad shit about just a few years ago but he's still funny, he still calls niggers niggers and kikes kikes, just not as much as he used to.

Posted this in the original Rekieta thread but I doubt many people saw it because it was moving at the speed of light at the time.

Tons of funny Steel Toe/Rekieta coverage in the latest episode - and Mike confirmed that $300 donation was from him. Only reason I mention that is because a lot of goobers on YouTube were saying it was fake.

Maybe he has but I've never seen him say specifically what the disease is. He doesn't talk about it much and usually only mentions it after a really long break.

He has specifically said that he will not specify the name of the illness but specifically specified that it was not crohns specifically. I’m personally 50/50 on whether he’s really sick or if it’s just an excuse to not do a show for extended periods without the audience getting mad and cancelling subs. He has said things about how he doesn’t want to talk about it because he doesn’t want it affecting the tone of the show, doesn’t want that kind of attention, and is weirded out by strangers knowing his medical situation which all makes sense, but could also be bullshit. Being secretive has the tendency to make people not trust you.

I definitely think he's sick. After his initial really long break he looked like a completely different person. No way he doesn't have something. Also when Sven got pissed at Mike he told LOSSLESS Mike wears diapers and shits himself and I don't think he was lying about it just because he was angry. Jules would also have to be the greatest actor in the world if Mike really is faking it, because she gets genuinely upset every time he talks about his disease.

It's cringe whenever Jules brings up the chat disagreeing with Mike about something and he reacts in a mini-panic like he can't stand to be called out or to be seen as being uncool or having the wrong opinion.
And then Jules will reiterate, "No no, we actually...(blah blah blah)..."
Jules, no one cares what you think. I don't participate in the chat but I would guess with confidence that the comments are always directed towards Mike and Mike alone. And stop interrupting so much, for God's sake.

how many times have you watched the "moon nigga" episode?
link please
i sort of do, look back at "the die" era, Mike David wouldn't dare go "kill all the gays and faggots" or "kill a black" as a joke anymore, If you can tell me how Mike knows TommyNC2010 then i'll agree with you, but Mike was all about targeting the homeless, the retarded, the ignorant and he truely went aganist the mainstream culture in a way he doesn't seem to anymore. Look at his segments, he's mocking Joe Rogan when even Joe's own subreddit does that. He mocks Crowder, when even SNL does that. Plus with Jules so vocal a lot of the stuff we didn't realize was bits is now obvious bits, a good example is the recent episode with him messaging Doug Stanhope, whereas if it happened 4 years ago we'd have him go "let's write this guy an email!" and do the bit, now Jules is the one going "ok Mikey, its time to do the bit where you write an email to Mr.Stanhope" and Mike's notes and timecodes all seem to be given in a way we didn't see before.
Another good example is with the Crowder episode, Jules note is literally the joke Mike David says at one point, Crowder tries to talk about doing an internet show to a couple of black dudes and Mike fucks up the joke in front of his face so Jules is the one to tell him "here's what you meant to say Mike" or something wild like that, even if that was a lucky guess, its still wild that the note literally had the joke Mike was supposed to say in response to a clip.
But Mike went from literally writing songs about how he wants to kill trans people and shitting on immigrants to going "anyone that acts like 2021 RedBar is the real loser" and when you listen to the archives its really apparent how easy it is for his "friends" to control him and Sven and Jules especially kept him on track during his rise to be this cool Anti-entertainment, anti-woke crusader who was hilarious to now literally just taking an hour to say what you can read in a reddit comment thread a lot of the time.
back in 2013/2015 Mike David proudly supported Joe Rogan and endorsed the coffee he drinks and all that other shit. Sane thing with Gavin and said a lot of extreme stuff trying to steal the O&A audience, and now he's moved beyond that, now he wants the redscare audience, the Adam Friedland audience, the Chapo audience, so he's toned down his shit.
Look at how he talks about someone like Tim Heidecker, he played a clip of Tim and couldn't even shit on him, it was the first time i saw him fucking sympathize with a "fool" on the show. He knew deep down it was a pussy move, he just said "Tim's good just don't go on his social media" as if that would have played to a 2019 Mike David whatsoever if someone said that to him about a fool
Mike was always like that, in the 2011 episodes Mike didn't even make racist or homophobic comments anymore because his cohosts "brainwashed" it out of him, his cohost even said that at th time. Mike David in 2013 proudly hated the Ipad and dubstep and said "music stopped being good in 2001" and that was his view until Sven was the one to bring up using an ipad as a soundboard and Jules convinced him to listen to modern music and now Mike's a hip faggot.
A lot of people especially in this thread probably don't even know Mike david had an old set, they only know him and Jules and the current set. if you ask them who Joe Mataresse is they wouldn't even know. hell i'm sure most people don't even realize Mike David is only 41, he started greying in his mid 30s, which is odd because his life should be the least stressful of anyone's and his excuse of using the wrong shampoo is hilariously absurd.
thats only about a 5 year difference and it looks way more. its literally a Rekieta-tier change. the fact that a guy could go from all black hair to full white and have such a different facial structure while not us
he denys its Crohns but its clearly something, the problem is Mike has always hated doctors and because he was molested at a young age he can't do the normal "take off clothes and let me examine you" routine with a doctor, and he's never had healthcare either so it literally could just be something that could have been fixed years ago but was never properly treated.
I will say that Mike has had "something" wrong with him since at least 2007, he mentioned having a fuck load of acid reflux to the point of it bubbling even out of his mouth if he doesn't sleep at the right angle and he was taking prilosec daily for years even asking the fans to buy it for him instead of food a lot of the time, so thats how bad shit was. he even said the stomach stuff was so bad he can't even sleep unless he takes it before going to bed and right when he wakes up. I assumed based on his shitty diet at the time it could have been Pancreatitis that was never treated because its common in people with bad diets and Mike never would even have the ability to go to the doctor so he'd never get whatever test would have proved it.
his brother has Crohns and he's made fun of him for having it but i don't think it causes you to end up in a wheelchair, but Mike has always had bad legs. he's mentioned even when he was in his early 30s working out phase that he couldn't stand up for more than a handful of hours.
Something had to happen with his eyes though, he went through a phase where he wore glasses all the time, and pretty much only stopped relatively recently until comming back wearing them. He also talked about not wearing contacts and if he's similar to the guys i know he probably does just have astigmatism of some kind. the glasses could be for hiding his Crohns eyes. Mike despite being obsessed with the computer was always fucking terrible at reading and spelling and proudly had a subpar knowledge of world events, literally not even knowing there was an "indian" ocean.
The thing that proves to me that he's really sick is that multiple years of asking for prilosec medication because his mystery illness was really that bad. like this guy was so poor he couldn't afford food and he was still asking for medication that you can't use to get high or trade for something and demanded it even in lieu of cigarettes or food. If it was just a bit he wouldn't be doing that, I will say Mike's also really bad about his OCD and mentioned when he went from daily shows to "its on when its on" that a big reason for it is his need to be in the right headspace and that a schedule would force him to constrain himself. Mike really developed a system that semi-cures his ODD because his typical gen X hatred of responsibilities caused him to learn to hate any schedule he gives himself. during the golden era this was good because sometimes he'd go 9 hours for multiple days at a time. doing marathon shows because he had so much to say and do.
that was part of the spontaneity, if he wanted to sing songs for a couple hours he would, or watch an entire livestream or talk about the news for multiple hours or do an all prank show episode. It was a true variety show. Mike wanted to make a show he could rewatch and enjoy.
Also i'm sure the illness is real because there's at least 1000 hours of stuff Mike has uploaded Rekieta-tier blackout drunk that he's never checked and for him to even say it when that fucked up then it has to be true, overall Mike is so fucking honest that he could get away with being blackout drunk and letting it be uploaded even if he's suicidal and depressed at his life. The problem is he's subjectively honest and when it comes to stuff like the fall of the redbar comedy club he can't understand Kyle Lane was 100% right. but that's a story for tomorrow.
Another big part is his eating habits even his friends around him questioned how such a tiny guy could out eat men that weigh literally 2x his size, and beyond that his ability to keep or lose weight without much exercise at all. Mike would rather die than go to a gym so his ability to lose 30% of his body weight in 6 weeks just from exercises you can do in your bedroom screams something wrong internally, to put that in perspective, most people on the Biggest Loser, with an entire reality show production starving them and forcing them to exercise down to a reasonable body weight couldn't lose 30% of their body weight and they have a lot more to lose. Mike being able to go from 180 pounds to 120 in 6 weeks is fucking insane, and to be able to pull that off multiple times in his life without running or doing anything beyond simple weight lifting, push ups, pull ups, and crunches means his body must have been insanely messed up for a long time. Thats Christian Bale levels of intense and Mike has been used to it for so long he doesn't realize its not normal.
Mike pretty much never had muscles but him looking so sunken in has to be something wrong with his body, the fact that he could eat a full rack of ribs every night for a week and not gain a single pound when also saying the most exercise he got was walking to the bedroom and back for about a year means his body must have been naturally losing weight at such a rapid pace that even eating like an olympian couldnt get him to weigh more.
thats exactly what it is, he was able to become self aware of it enough by 2016 to change his show format because of it, even during his brief compound media run he straight up said "if you mock me its an instant ban" he even said himself that it was bullshit but thats just how he is, its also why he went from being a show anyone could call in on during the first decade of the show to dropping callers almost entirely. its also a big reason he squashes any subreddit about him and why you have to have a dox on file to get inside the BBG. Hell we wouldn't even have the mike we all know and love today if he wasn't just a puppet for the BBG, they convinced him to switch to "fools watching" and to go after Melton and Joe Rogan and a lot of other people. Its pretty much the writers room for his show.

note to self make sure to have longer deadlines than the next day
Anyways Kyle Lane was 100% in the right to kick Mike David out of the club. Mike David admits to not doing anything beyond creating the stupid intro for the comedians every week and posting it online. Mike and Kyle had a supposed 50/50 split in the partnership but Kyle literally did everything besides making that stupid intro and i literally mean everything else, he did all the booking, handled the financials (mike david didn't even know and still doesn't know about quarterly taxes), handled anything HR releated, and dealt with advertisers. Whereas Mike David did literally all the fun stuff such as interviews and mingling with the comedians. Mike David acted like a big shot and because he now had power in the comedy community he took advatage of it, the same year Mike got fired from the comedy club he was doing blackface stand up comedy routines with Drew Michael. thats right, comedian Drew Michael. Jerrod Carmichael's head writer and jewish friend Drew Michael, who has a google alert and is very litigious, so litigious that he was the only person to get through to Mike David to shut the fuck up and stop bad mouthing him or else Drew Michael would sue his ass, so much for Mr. facebook free speech warrior drew michael.
so anyways, child rape advocate Drew Michael was helping Mike David with his blackface comedy routines and because Mike felt he did as much as he could in Chicago was helping plan an LA location for redbar comedy club, except mike was planning on cutting Kyle out entirely and having Drew be the new Kyle, Drew already was when it came to friendships. Mike openly told his interns to make sure him and Kyle spent as little time with each other as possible, which Kyle was pissed about because unlike Mike David, Kyle actually enjoyed them spending time together.
Thats another reason mike got fired, Mike David was actively abusing the interns, the interns for the comedy club was mostly women who's be passing out flyers or helping the comedians get to and from the show, Mike David naturally was abusing his power over them by forcing them to drive him places or pick up his dry cleaning and restaurant orders or force them to drive comedians to and from his radio show. Mike's a terrible manager and naturally lashed out at anyone whether it be intern or comedian who said no to him no matter how unreasonable the request.
Beyond that let's look at the social climate at the time, it was 2011 and Mike David was proudly shittalking Michelle Obama and the niglet kids as much as he could in Chicago of all places, and would actively provoke shouting matches with the few comedians willing to say something and made sure they'd get blacklisted from his club. Mike David was actively destroying what little good will there was for his little show in the community. Especially because you really can't make blatantly racist jokes as a business owner in down town chicago and expect to last long, especially when as Mike himself noted, most of their customers were black.
so Kyle, pretty much once he heard of Mike David's plan to "surprise" Marc Maron with a shouting match on his radio show right before he was set to perform at the Red Bar Comedy Club, but after they paid his agent the 10k booking fee for that weekend. Kyle completely gave Mike the boot. In much the same fashion Mike was planning to do to Kyle, and how if we're honest it had to happen. Mike, especially then, was an annoying faggot and even the Mike David of 2024, would admit that his antics in 2011 were not Tim Heidecker approved and would need to be stopped by any means necessary. Mike openly and proudly talked about his tirades he'd do on Kyle or others that tried to demand he change something about how he did business at the comedy club, such as his 10 minute opening jokes before every show mainly mocking niggers, gays and other groups that Mike now finds cringe to joke about.
Mike pretty proudly played favorites and exclusively booked about the same half dozen comedians, most of which had the same shitty sense of humor they all thoroughly disavow or find cringe today. Kyle was the one constantly pushing for different types of comedians to fill the shows, whereas Mike demanded stuff like big named comedians such as Marc Maron or Todd Glass despite usually getting pissed off at mike by the time they're set to perform and doing notoriously badly by the time they get on stage.
Mike was especially pissed at Maron at the time because of Maron's support of trans and gay people and Maron mocking conservatives for caring about kids, which Mike David of 2024 all agrees with now and in theory should apologize to Kyle Lane for being 100% right about.
@FattyBomba Maybe you should email Mike David about this
Anyways Mike went wild and had to vanish for a few months, also he beat up his girlfriend at the time but since Mike is still pro-beating up girlfriends (just ask Jules!) i won't talk about that.
Now back to Mike's role at Redbar, according to Mike David, it was Kyle who wasn't pulling his weight and that actually the comedy club would surely fail without him because Mike David's so fucking good at advertising the show that he was the sole reason the 200 seats were sold out every week for the year and a half he was part of the club. And Mike's proof of that was his ability to sell tickets to RedBar radio live shows. But what Mike didn't realize is that it was actually the exact opposite, it was the comedy club subsidizing the radio show and not the radio show subsidizing the club. And anyone that listened to 2010/2011 redbar would have realized that too, Mike proudly didn't give a fuck about the show at that point and time.
To paint a picture of how low Redbar had fallen and how much Mike David overhyped his ability to sell tickets to retards online here are the actual ticket sales for the redbar radio live shows he did in LA.
- 2010:200 sold
- 2011: 175 sold
- 2012: 35 sold
- 2013: 21 sold (arizona live show, he didn't even bother trying again to sell tickets in LA)
the Barmy was similarly small, with less than 400 people paying for subs by then, and according to Rob Mccarthy (he started the BBG) most of the subs didn't even watch redbar anymore by that point.
it used to be that there would be 200 people in chat during the 2007 height of the show but by 2014 it was down to about 30, although a big reason for that may have been Mike David proudly banning over 200 people from his chat because he can't handle people making fun of him.

Few remember how much Mike used to chain smoke. He was constantly smoking from like 13 to whenever he decided vaping wasn’t “gay shit for faggots that looks so gay you might as well be sucking dick you Gaylord” to “I’ve always liked caping what do you smoke cigarettes? Like a WOMAN? what are you GAYYYYYYYYYY?” And at his graphic design job he bragged about eating Wendy’s literally every day with his fat woman friend he took smoke breaks with and made fun of her for eating Wendy’s every day like he did and then ate even larger Wendy’s burgers when his Divorced Coworker Gene said it was unhealthy. Then he used to drink a six pack of beer on the show every day until Fritz couldn’t afford to bring it over and just called Fritz poor and said beer is for fat people because it’s just like drinking a six pack of soda (rare truth) and moved to drinking whisky every day and eating $50 a plate BBQ at Smoq Chicago every night so he could pretend to be rich.
So yeah he has a fucking horrible diet that he indulged in out of spite just like everything else he does and probably has no stomach lining and never saw a doctor because doctors are gay for needing to examine you without having your clothes on sometimes or getting lifestyle and medical advice from a man means he’s hitting on him and therefore wants to have gay sex with him.
On another note, I wonder if podcast superfan vampire Dean from Australia has ever been called out for the creep he is. At his peak in 2008 or so, Dean was the top fan of red bar radio, Keith and the girl and probably the mugglecast. Somehow Dean was always every podcaster’s #1 super fan and would send tons of gifts to them and be invited to speak on every show while also being a parent living off whatever the income of a nurse was in Australia. Guy always seemed like a total loser creep. His child was also non vocal at like 6 years old which is a sign of neglect.
Also, it appears Dean Carlson got BLACKED and took his straight from the slave ship wife’s name and runs an Instagram ad tier Spenser gifts accessory drop ship store https://x.com/dangcrabcake I’ve always liked Dean on the show, I hope he’s living a decent life.

That just gives more credence to him really being sick. One thing I noticed is that when you're ill, especially long term, you don't want to step on toes because it'll just cause more stress on top of your illness which is already all-consuming. If an illness is already sapping your energy the last thing you want is to get dropped by a web host or payment provider and have to expel energy you don't have.

fucking wrong, beer has no sugar and barely any carbs, its much healthier.
somehow you didn't see the episode where Mike banned him from the show because he was cheating on his wife with one of the teenage girls that listened to the show.
nah fuck him, he's always been a loser and never made me laugh. Best thing he did was join in the Mike's mocking of people but after the Monty fuck up he went full cold shoulder and was dead weight for 2 years while doing nothing but fucking katie.
outside of mike using dean's shitty life as joke material he contributed nothing to the show.
dude of course he's fucking sick. he was whining about being sick from 2007-2015 when Sven finally got him to shut the fuck up about it. You don't ask people to give you heartburn medication in lieu of food when you're dead broke unless you seriously need it. and he was doing that for 2+ years

I’m fascinated by all this deep Mike David/Redbar lore. It kind of hits the same chord for me as when Jim did the Metokur Forums stream a few months ago. Same sort of thing: someone has a platform and they did a lot of cringy gay shit on it so they tried to wipe every trace of it from the internet and “move on” but the old users still remember the truth.
Only in the case of Redbar, he just put everything behind a paywall and then still deleted the old “spicy” episodes that made him look bad.
