Search this page for "Matthew Verbin" and search the whole of Wikipedia and Google for the same name. He has posted on many wikis a bunch of nonsense, none of which, I suspect, is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.186.227.222 ( talk) 21:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Is this really appropriate? I definatly understand that this was tragic and this is a tough time for Don and his family. However, this is an encyclopedia and I think this should be noted, but Wikipedia isn't a message board to relay messages to others. What I think would be appropriate is if a link to a credible D&M message board/forum post about Don's loss is linked under a section about her death. -- Kevin McManus 23:22, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps the "thoughts and prayers" part doesn't deserve to be in Wikipedia (though the original poster had good intentions), but Freda was a big part of the show and of Don's life and her passing is undoubtedly a major milestone in terms of the show. -- 68.71.49.76 23:40, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
Like I said... should definatly be noted. I understand she was a big part of the show -- Kevin McManus 01:33, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
I think "thoughts and prayers" is fine in the "discussion" part of the encyclopedia. -- [2 cents]
I don't think it's "fine" because you're assuming that the person who is reading the article actually practices prayer. This is an assumption that an encyclopedia should NOT make about the reader. However, her death did have an impact on the radio show, so it deffinately should be noted. -- James McEwan
I do believe it is worth mentioning the death of Freda, as she was an integral part of the Don and Mike show. However, the sentence "Please keep Don, his son Bart, and the rest of the Wright and Sorce families in your thoughts and prayers" is a direct appeal to the reader, and therefore has no place in an encyclopedia. The sentence contains no fact. It does not reinforce any other mentioned fact. It would be acceptable in something like a newspaper column or a fansite for the show. However in this article it is not acceptable.
Why is special mention given to Beth Anne's departure in the history section? If mention was given to past, more integral, longer running producers I would understand, but Beth Anne was only involved with the show for 2 years or so, and in the grand scheme of the shows history, means nothing. Surely the departures of Charlie and Lisa, or Diana and "Sherry Liquor" would merit bigger mention. This entry smacks of a very short term listener's contribution. --

Should Bob Hope be listed under "dead to the show" when he is, after all, dead to everybody?
RE: Bob Hope never pissed D&M off to the point to where they kicked him off the show. Those who are "dead to me!" (DG) have thoroughly worn out their welcome and are no longer allowed on the show. -- Andy Howard ( talk) 03:13, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Why is Leah Remini dead to the show? What happened?
Leah used to be a friend of the show. She did one of those specials on a cable channel, inviting cameras into her home for a "private look" into her life. She acted like some type of deity, bascially a total hag. The guys played parts of it on the radio during their show and ripped her over her antics and comments. (it was quite hillarious and very accurate) When she found out she called Howard Sterns show to be on it in New York the very next day. She eventually called in and tried to scold the guys for "betraying their friendship". Since they were right about the way she was acting on the special, they didn't budge or apologize and the call ended badly. So long Lisa Remedy (joke from her special were the DJ at her wedding reception called her Lisa Remedy instead of Leah Remeni) Sean Smith
Do you know the date of the show (or an estimate) so I can look it up and see exactly (more or less) when Leah officially became "dead to the show"? -- Andy Howard ( talk) 03:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
I love Don and Mike, don't get me wrong, but: This article has a lot of good information but is riddled with POV. It needs extensive cleanup.-- Bltpdx 07:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
The "All Music" show after their suspension did not go for the full four hours. Don originally intended to do this, but quit after somewhere between 45 minutes and 2 hours. I would change it, but I don't have the time right now to research the actual amount of time (ie, listening to my CD with that show) due to work. DestradoZero 18:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the All Music Show on 5/31/02 did last all 4 hours. When they returned on Monday 6/3/02, they announced it as "Broadway Monday" and were taken off the air until Monday, 6/10/02. I believe this confusion may have come from the folks at Radio Gods Forum chopping out all the music to include only the talk up to each song and the last few seconds of each song in their daily released MP3. -- Timcooke1982 ( talk) 20:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
I'll try to find the show(s) in question on PYBS.com and see what the deal was. -- Andy Howard ( talk) 03:12, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Why are O&A listed under "Friends" of the show? They were rivals. A quick summary from memory, I'll try to keep it somewhat encyclopedic. At one point, O&A were being openly abusive of Don and Mike, saying very negative things about them on the air. Don and Mike countered on their own show, but were ordered by management to cease O&A related subjects. Don and Mike didn't appreciate being silenced while O&A remained free to continue trash talking them. In retaliation against their management, Don and Mike performed their next show devoid of all elements of their regular format. Instead, they played old-fashioned, broadway style show tunes. Audience members calling the show received prizes of either dog muzzles or dog choke chains, in a less than subtle stab at the management. Don and Mike were then suspended for at least one week. Eventually, O&A were fired from their radio station for an incident involving nudity in a church. Although they kept to their managements instructions not to mention O&A on the air, Don and Mike openly gloated on the air, invoking phrases like "justice is sweet" and "what comes around, goes around." -- Andy 12:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't call them "friends of the show", but after Don's wife Freda died in 2005, Opie and Anthony expressed condolences and the idea of a radio feud was put into perspective. Most of Don's old radio feuds were put to bed at this time.-- Nuwriter 16:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Don and Mike were also actually on fairly good terms with O&A in the beginning. Things soured at some point afterward, but as previously stated they're no longer feuding. DestradoZero 15:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Since they have moved studios, do they also have a new mailing address? 24.16.41.151 18:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
O and A was actually mentioned on the radio last week. Don said that they had a fued with O and A and some radio banter back and forth but the argument was over.
I have been listening to D&M for 20 years and I remember in the WAVA days someone they called "Danger Boy". He was their Gopher and idiot on the street, he would don crazy costumes and stroll around town... Does anyone remember this guy or know what happened to him? Thanks.
Rob Spewak was the original Dangerboy. He is now "third man" and sometimes producer of the show.
[edit] Rob was their intern/Gopher guy on WAVA and as previously stated "Danger Boy". -- Andy Howard ( talk) 03:16, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
This article has very few sources and seems to mostly be made up of original research by listeners. It'd be a shame to remove all the info, but at the moment it's all unverifiable. Could involved editors please find supporting references for this article? - Will Beback · † · 22:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
" News Presenter" is a primarily a British term (BBC?) and will probably not be understood by many Americans. This radio show's target audience is in the United States, so it seems more appropriate to use American terminology like "News Reporter" or "News Announcer" or "News People", doesn't it? The Wikipedia guidelines on American/British say to use the word choices of the country of the article's subject... but "news presenter" is not listed in the list of British words not used in American English.

I'm removing this section. There is zero evidence of this being true at this point. If something citable is found, by all means put it back (and word it a bit better) Rtphokie 21:16, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Good call. As far as I know Don has never moved to XM Radio, nor has he mentioned it on the radio. He is currently (as of 8-07-13) on Sports Talk 1140AM KHTK (Sacramento, California) -- Andy Howard ( talk) 03:24, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
This article has been tagged as having poor or irrelevant examples however I dont see any explanation here on the talk page so I'll start this section. What are the specific concerns?-- Rtphokie 18:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
We've previously discussed the quantity of unverifiable, unsourced material in this article, including #Sources and #poor or irrelevant examples. above.

It has been suggested that Joe Ardinger be merged into Don and Mike. -- Rtphokie ( talk) 13:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Quick question. Should The Mike O'Meara Show get its own separate article, be incorporated into this article or be incorporated into the Mike O'Meara article? EvWill ( talk) 21:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
