Caller mentions MikeFrancesa.com

:D :lol: :o

As some of you know, I live in Miami, but I did just return from spending Thanksgiving in NY.

I decided to listen in on the show while doing some work in my dad's apartment, and I almost pissed myself when I heard a caller mention, "Hey Mike, ever hear of a website called mikefrancesa.com".

:shock:

Mike paused for a second, and thanked the caller. He sounded like he wanted to laugh a bit, but then turned to Dog and said, "yeah, everybody's got a website named after him now". Dog there's probably one named after you."

It was exactly 4:15 pm on Tuesday or Wednesday, I think.

Ok guys, which one of you was the caller? Fess up :D

This was a big topic on the old message board.

I had a feeling. Damn, I should have checked it out first.

You can still check it out. Just go the old address.

I take the credit. Video is up on this site and Google Video.

You are a great, great man. :D

I saw on the old board. Great job. You made my day.

the best is how Rollins emphasized and paused with the "dot com"

I swear, I almost pissed myself. I couldn't believe it. I had to look at my watch to note the time.

Great call

Yeah is was great Lunchbox - but be careful!

Since the site was mentioned on air there is this bandwagon idea that we need to clean things up on the board.

No more making fun of Mike's weight or Dog's gay tendancies because there will now be so much new traffic, numerous "watchdogs" will be looking to pounce on us for our infantile humor.

I thought it to be necessary to mention it to you since I have always found your posts to be hystercal... check out the old board, there are several threads about how the board is needs to be cleaned up!

Guys,
I am impressed day after day with this site. I am late to the game, I jumped on the bandwagon immediately after the on-air mention.
Let me break down the call, which is available to watch here. It's like the ******** Zapruder film.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5869759317519910592

First let me point out that during the entire clip you can see the portion of the screen that is hidden by the scoreboard crawl in the upper right part of the screen.
:01- Dog ends previous call, and mentions former Giants QB Dave Brown.
:03- Dog gives the classic "Jared, in the Bronx, Jared, what's going on?" I am very jealous that Jared (aka Rollins4Life) got these great Dog words said to him. Oddly though, after Francessa says "Jared", and before Russo says "Jared" for the third time, Russo says something which I believe is "Dave". I think he was so excited to drink the frappucino that his mind reverted back to the previous spot, which was on the aforementioned Dave Brown. Dog is really mailing it in here. I don't blame him... 5.5 hours a day is a lot.
:04- Fatcessa rubs his fingers on his nose, and then his upper lip. That is gross. Get a body language expert in here to tell me what the rubbing the nose means. He does it again at :27. I think it means, "Even I can't believe how full of ***** I am sometimes."
:06- Notice how much whipped cream is in Dog's frappucino. Then notice how long he "savors" the last sip. He keeps moving his lips until :20. I am starting to believe the gay conspiracy theorists on this board.
:07- Rollins asks question, and as a LTLFTC, he knows that to get the second point out and avoid dog's guillotine, he has to be very quick, and mention that he has two points "quickly".
After Rollins' smooth question (outstanding job), the ever elegent Mike Francesser utters the longest run-on sentence in the history of the spoken word:
"Well, again, we thought Comcast did and then we got a call that on a digital level they do on some level, so you know that's why we didn't know if Time Warner might have somewhere else now, now we're hearing we called the NFL Network they don't think they do either but we didn't think comcast did either and we found out comcast does.
:26- As Dog strikes maybe the gayest pose in the history of tv, Jared pauses then responds sort of dumbstruck the absurdity in length of Fatboy's last sentence, he gives the site mention, and in unbelievably cool fashion adds juice to it with the pause between francessa and 'dot com'.

Now let's discuss if they knew the site existed.

Things that make me think they knew of this site.
1. Roe's obese husband has a bigger ego than he does a stomach. If there's a website with his name, he'd know.
2. Assuming the site has been around at least a year, only one person one time would ever have to tell Mike or Dog, whether it be a caller, a fan he sees on the street, a relative or an agent, of the site's existence.
3. Russo scratching himself. As one guy pointed out on the old board, he'd love to "get this yutz on the poker table". (great line btw)
Things that make me think they didn't know of this site.
1. They say they didn't know, and they do a great job of selling it. They are pros.

My conclusion... I have really been struggling with this... gun to my head... THEY KNEW ABOUT IT, and they had a plan on how they'd deal with it the first time it came up. These guys are absolute pros.

Since you're new to the game, I suggest you read the old board stuff first, then the blog.

You'll come across the famous "New Yorker article" in the blog, which acurrately describes M&MD and also provides some interesting stuff.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away. Some of us, like Jerome, Gun, etc have been listening since the beginning and have posted some long forgotten topics, such as the WFUV, Live from the Play by Play, Howie Rose Vs. Francesa, Dog vs Francesa threads. Some of those threads disappeared when Mike(admin) attempted to upgrade the site.

Once again, welcome.

Guys,
I am impressed day after day with this site.

wow, excellent breakdown!
makes me think the hour that it took me to get that off my tivo is worthwhile :-)

cuz you know as im doing it, i'm thinking the entire time "what a fuckin loser i am" :lol:

good job Play, there is more to you than an unhealthy Roe obsession!

Wow, you break that call down with more detail than the Warren commission looked at the Zagruder film of the Kennedy assasination!

I agree they know. Don't forget one other thing. How many times does Mike say that he knows 'absolutely nothing' about computers and that when he wants something Spitzy 'punches it up' for me. He says that so many times it sounds like he's trying to make people believe it.

I truly don't know if I should be horrified or humbled.


PlayforPay: I have to hand it to you, that was hilarious.
Jerome spent hours working the video details give him the credit, otherwise this thing would be unknown.

You guys are too much..


Edit: Just re-read the breakdown for the third time. To read the text of Francesa's run-on sentence about the digital tier bullshit made me laugh out loud.

It was all Mikefran, I joined back in March. I don't know the guy at all.

Funny post PFP. And thanks for the shout out to my screen name. ;-) Southside Johnny puts a gun to his head when it finally dawns on him how lame Chris is, and now you use it in the detailed breakdown of "the call", I'm telling ya it may become a phenomenon. We just need Mike to say it more. I know Chris doesn't like the term, I guess it's too "nasty". :-)

no one knows each other here.........Mikefran is probably Raissman

I'm surprised Chris doesn't like GTYH. He used to say it all the time.

You're right he did say it all the time. I have heard him say though within the last 6 months or so, he doesn't like the expression. Probably one of his tennis friends objected to it. :-)

I truly don't know if I should be horrified or humbled.

Glad you liked it. I was humbled by the first comment from the guy who said to read the blog etc... I figured all that stuff was already said.

If I spent as much time/ effort at my job, I would get a raise. That took me an hour to do. I had to play the clip a hundred times to get the entire run-on sentence.

Did Rollins create the site or did mikefran? Do those guys know each other? When was the site created?

Thanks- sorry to rehash if on old board, but I am a newbie, and the old board is not currently available.

I read your summary before watching the video and laughed my *** off. Spot on about Mike with the quasi-nose pick followed by the lip rub, the Dog's gay pose was classick. Nicely done.

he will read your accolades while taking a break from his anger management class.

right before the playoffs they were predicting the Mets pitching roster for the post season...they left off Darren Oliver..i called and got through..i just told whoever answered the phone to tell them about Oliver...about 30 seconds later Mike said "a caller just reminded us about Darren Oliver"...

i just dialed and got through...must've been a slow day

Who were you.

like i said..i didn't get on with M&MD...just told the screener to tell them about Oliver...as he did..and they mentioned that caller just called in to remind them that they had missed him..
