EITM Fan No More...

2011-08-30T23:54:00.008-04:00

After much deliberation, I have come to a conclusion: I don't care anymore!

Yes, there was a time when I lived and breathed everything EITM. It was what I woke up to every morning and what I listened to at night. I was an uber-fan, so much so, I started this "fan blog" three years ago.

Now, I'm a disappointed and disgruntled listener who feels shafted by a show that is now a shell of its former self. Kyle is gone. Flounder is gone. And the show has morphed into pointless Bachelorette and Glee discussions that Elliot's true demographic could give a fuck about. The crazy bits and stunts are gone. Everyone is settled down and having kids or engaged. The show isn't young and fresh like it used to be. And no offense to Kayleigh, but she's just not a part of the show...no matter how much Elliot tries to include her, it just doesn't work...

The way that Flounder left was truly the end for me. Say what you want about Schlossberg, he made that show! You can't deny he was a big part of the show and to ignore his absence the way they did, annoyed listeners and actually turned a lot of people off, including me.

The show just isn't the same to me. Elliot and the Class are boring and tired. It's time for a new gig, folks. I'll start things off by changing the name of this blog (whose title is no longer true) in support of Flounder.

Thanks for the good times...

Joan the Moan Asks Elliot About Flounder!

2011-08-09T22:50:00.009-04:00

It only took eleven days for someone to call the Elliot in the Morning show and ask the question we've all been asking, "What happened to Flounder?"...

We know he was fired, but we don't know why. Flounder isn't talking and neither is anyone from the show. Up until Tuesday morning, no one had even acknowledged that he was gone. That is, until Joan the Moan called in...

She asked Elliot what ever happened to Flounder and his response was "He is gone" and that "He was let go."

Obviously, we still don't know why he was let go, but at least Elliot finally addressed the situation and at least SOMEONE had the balls to ask! Thanks, Joan the Moan!

Former DC101 Employee, Bryan "Flounder" Schlossberg Takes to the Air with "Hire Me" Campaign

2011-08-03T18:38:00.006-04:00

Last Friday, EITM Fans broke the news of Bryan Schlossberg’s (better known as Flounder) exit from DC101 after twelve years with the Elliot in the Morning show.

Flounder stated via Facebook, "Friday was my last day working at DC101. Over the last 12 years, I have met some amazing people and have done amazing things. Thanks to my friends and family for their amazing support."

With his sights on the future, Flounder has already begun searching for his next opportunity. This morning he teamed up with former DC101 employee, Kyle Benham to launch an innovative "Hire Flounder" campaign.

Benham launched Bootcamp Lights earlier this year, reaching 80,000 U2 fans at M&T Bank Stadium with a custom built R22 Helicopter, outfitted with a 36-foot digital billboard.

Authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly digital advertising over metropolitan areas, the Bootcamp Lights Helicopter, operated by co-founder, Robert Schapiro displayed "Hire Flounder – DJFlounder.com" this morning above rush hour traffic on I-270 and I-370 just outside of Washington, D.C.

Kyle Benham stated, "It isn't easy finding work in this economy. Flounder is a creative genius with the discipline needed to succeed; I hope this campaign will help him discover a fulfilling career."

One commuter tweeted, "@DJFlounder, even though you slowed down traffic this morning on 270, I thought that was some great advertising." In response, Flounder commented, "Get used to it because I am not going away."

Bootcamp Lights has a full service video production team; using the latest technology to capture campaigns in 1080p. Creative services director, Dan Yar says, “Our digital videos provide original content which can be shared across multiple platforms."

EITM Edits Flounder Out of Intro...

2011-08-02T23:25:00.010-04:00

The EITM intro (which includes soundbites that pertain to the show) was changed this week to better suit the new Flounder-less show. I thought it would be fun to compare the tiny part that changed...

Here's how a portion of the old clip sounded:

And here's the newly edited version:

"What, you got your period on?...I need to get off the phone...Go Flounder!...Winnie, Arnold, Mr. Meowerson" were replaced with a clip of former football player, Lawrence Taylor's attorney, proclaiming, "Lawrence Taylor did not have consensual sex with anybody last night."

In The Headlines...

2011-08-01T22:57:00.006-04:00

The news of Flounder's exit from DC101 and Elliot in the Morning are slowly but surely trickling through the radio industry websites and blogs even though there's yet to be an official response from Clear Channel DC.

Don't forget you heard it here first. Here's some others...

DCRTV: Flounder Out At DC101

Longtime "Elliot In The Morning" show sidekick Bryan "Flounder" Schlossberg is out at Clear Channel alt rocker DC101, WWDC. The sketchy details are at the EITM Fans blog...

Radio-Info.com: "Flounder" is fried on Washington's Elliot in the Morning Show

The news was leaked out on the unofficial Elliot in the Morning blog site, saying "Flounder was fired. No one at DC 101 is talking about it." It appears that Bryan "Flounder" Schlossberg was cut loose by the Clear Channel-owned modern rock "DC 101" WWDC-FM in Washington, DC. He had been with the rock station and a part of the Elliot in the Morning Show for nearly 12 years.

FMQB: In Brief

Longtime Elliot In The Morning sidekick Flounder (aka Bryan Schlossberg) has reportedly exited the WWDC (DC101)/Washington, D.C. morning show.

Flounder Fans React!

2011-08-01T17:49:00.010-04:00

Flounder may be gone from the DC airwaves for now, but in the meantime the internets (especially Facebook and Twitter) are buzzing about his firing. Here are some of my favorite comments from all over the web...

- Yea no mention of Flounder? Sweepin it under the rug eh?

- After 12 years you can't even wish him well? I'm disappointed in everyone at DC101.

- I think Flounders' DSB finally caught up to him.

- I've checked Starbucks and Outback, and still no flounder...

- Maybe when they're done looking for DB Cooper they can start looking for Flounder!

- This country is FLOUNDERING on the brink of disaster...hey...that reminds me...

- So we're sure that @djflounder and @BrettHaber haven't begun what might be a really elaborate (and potentially awesome) job switch?

- No @DJFlounder, no EITM.

- To the anonymous that said "who cares": Screw you. Flounder was the best thing that ever happened to that station. He didn't deserve to get treated the way he did and it's bullshit that he's gone. His production work was the best of its kind and he was easily the most entertaining part of EITM when he was on it. DC101 is definitely about to lose a lot of listeners and even more, the quality of their production is going to suffer extremely. Flounder will be off to bigger and better things while EITM's rating continue to drop.

- For someone that has "No Talent" he sure did make a name for himself and a long career (12 years) especially moving over into creative services.

- I'm a former employee and I've seen dozens of "Radio" people come and go, it's a nature of the business and for someone to last 12 years really does show a true talent, and strong work ethic unlike some D-Bags that I've come across. Also, there are some people who are still employed that really have no skills outside of turning MIC1 & MIC2 on and off and once the atrocity of sound (EITM) is off, they will all be fucked.

Flounder Speaks!

2011-08-01T08:54:00.009-04:00

From Flounder's Facebook page:

Friday was my last day working at DC101. Over the last 12 years, I have met some amazing people and have done amazing things. Thanks to my friends and family for their amazing support. Please keep in touch with me through facebook, twitter and email. (djflounder1@gmail.com) #Freeagent

What a classy guy! Too bad we can't say the same for a few others over on Rockville Pike. Good luck, Flound!

Update:
- Flounder was fired on Friday.
- I'm told it's been quiet at DC101 -- too quiet.
- Flounder's Mash Ups will no longer be heard on DC101. It did not play on Saturday night.

- Lot's of EITM listeners are upset over his firing and are making their voices heard on Facebook and Twitter.
- Fans are tweeting the hashtag #FreeAgent in honor of Flounder.
- Elliot did not talk about Flounder on Monday's show.

I'm in utter shock at the news I just received...

After nearly 12 years, Bryan "Flounder" Schlossberg is no longer at DC101 and Elliot in the Morning.

It wasn't too long ago when I tried to start a Bring Back Flounder campaign after he had been absent from EITM for months.

His Flounder's Mash Ups show still continued to air Saturday nights on DC101. However, one has to imagine that Mash Ups is now over...

I guess I just never thought it would come to this! EITM and DC101 just won't be the same. More details to follow... Stay tuned!

#JTM!

2011-06-24T05:48:00.001-04:00

Here's an EITM clip that happened exactly one year ago today. It features Joan the Moan hitting on Flounder and getting "dumped" several times in the process...

It's hard to believe this was a year ago! I remember listening to this live on the radio and laughing up a storm.

There's something about Joan - at times she seems so innocent and unaware of what's going on and at other times she is extremely inappropriate and demanding.

I honestly don't think she knows how funny she really is, which makes her appearances on EITM even funnier.

Enjoy!

2011 DC101 Chili Cook-Off Introductions

2011-06-07T18:00:00.002-04:00

Just stumbled across this on the internets...

Elliot introduces Kayleigh, Tyler, Diane, and Flounder at the 2011 DC101 Chili Cook-Off.

This was Kayleigh's first Cook-Off as an official member of the Class. It was also good to see Flounder introduced, even though he's rarely heard on the show.

The DC101 Chili Cook-Off was held on Saturday, May 21st. Click here for a full recap.

Travis "Bagwell" Griffin Out at DC101! (Updated)

2011-06-03T11:08:00.014-04:00

Night guy Travis "Bagwell" Griffin is out at Clear Channel rocker DC101. ~~Allegedly!~~

He was mysteriously absent from his 7pm - Midnight shift last night and his page has been removed from the station website.

So even though there has been no official announcement, I feel pretty comfortable calling this one...

Travis joined DC101 in December 2007. He previously worked nights at Clear Channel's WRVQ - Q94 in Richmond, VA.

Update:
Elliot confirmed my suspicions Tuesday morning by congratulating Mike Jones for getting the night gig at DC101. Travis is indeed gone...

Tyler and Lindsey Are In Labor! (Updated)

2011-06-02T07:12:00.013-04:00

Sometime last year Tyler announced that he and his lovely wife Lindsey were having a baby and were due on June 3rd, 2011.

It appears that Baby Molnar decided to come a day early...

Thursday's show was scheduled to have comedian Aisha Tyler in-studio, but as listeners tuned in this morning they were greeted with "Best Of" and left scratching their heads.

Until Aisha Tyler tweeted this...

Congrats to the happy couple!

Update:
Elliot and the Class (including Tyler) returned back to the airwaves Tuesday, June 7th.

Tyler and Lindsey had a baby boy. No name was mentioned...

Casey Krukowski Leaving 102.1 The X!

2011-05-30T13:22:00.026-04:00

After ten years at "Richmond's Rock Station," midday jock and Program Director, Casey Krukowski (a.k.a. "Little Boy Legs") will be leaving his post on June 10th.

He's been named Program Director at Clear Channel Active Rock station WEBN in Cincinnati, Ohio and starts the new gig on June 15th.

I sent Casey a few fun questions and hope he answers them soon. Either way, he's always been a good sport and he even hooked me up with a free bus ride to DC for Kegs & Eggs a couple years back. And for that, I'll be forever grateful...

So now that Casey's leaving, do you think YOU have what it takes to be the next Program Director at WRXL in Richmond?

Send your cover letter, resume, and aircheck to OM Dave Symonds at DaveSymonds@clearchannel.com.

Update:
Here's Elliot's convo with Casey about his run in with 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto. (02/01/11)

Flounder Stays Mum and "Shock" Weighs In! (Updated)

2011-05-23T08:58:00.050-04:00

EITM fan, Katie, ran into Flounder at the DC101 Chili Cook Off over the weekend...

After snapping this pic with the regional celebrity, she asked him why he hasn't been heard on Elliot in the Morning in months. Katie says, "He laughed when I asked and said don't worry about it."

Meanwhile, former DC101 Production Director, Rick "Shock" Shockey weighs in on Flounder's morning show absence: "I don't know what's up with Flounder's absence - Wellington was the Program Director when I left and they have someone new that I don't know."

The current Program Director is James "Doubledown" Howard, who joined the station in December 2010.

Shock also shed some light on his somewhat tumultuous work-relationship with Flounder: "It's not true that Flounder and I never got along. I even recommended him highly to the GM and others when he went for the Imaging position after Spank left," says Shock. "He and I got along great until the last eight months or so. Then, a little dispute got blown up on the EITM show and it got ugly from there."

You'll recall back in November 2008, Flounder and former DC101er, Whitney, threw Shock's coffee pot off a 5th floor balcony. But Shock doesn't hold any grudges...

"All in all, I continue to think he's a very talented producer who is quite capable of being very successful, if he wants to be. I always encouraged him to expand, to do more."

It appears Flounder is taking Shock's advice! Even if he's not on EITM, he's focusing on radio production at DC101 and he continues to expand his growing "DJ Flounder" business with appearances all over the area.

You can still hear Flounder's Mash Ups every Saturday night from 10pm to midnight on DC101.

Update:
Flounder was finally heard Tuesday morning as he entered the studio to assist with some technical problems that were plaguing the show from the start. Elliot asked him about the Chinese food they ate the day before and Flounder said he thought he had food poisoning.

It was a brief appearance, but his first in months. I'd like to think my bitching had something to do with it, but there's no telling!

Kayleigh also tweeted: "@DJFlounder to the rescue! #wefoundhim"

AUDIO: (Around the 4:20 mark)

Where Is Flounder?

2011-05-19T20:07:00.013-04:00

I'll preface this blog post with an email I received recently...
"I don't know if you're an insider at DC101 or not, but do you have any idea where Flounder has been? I feel like I haven't heard him in months. I listen to the show about 90 minutes a day so I could have missed him at some point. The last time I remember hearing him was during the Bert Kreischer interview in January when he brought in the expired beer. Could this screw up and his absence be related?"
Mind you, this is JUST ONE of many emails and tweets that I have received from EITM fans asking, where is Flounder?

I'll be honest, I can't remember the last time Flounder was on the show, so let's just say it was January...I'm open for correction if anyone can recall a date. Nevertheless, it's obvious, Flounder is no longer a part of the show...

What really annoys me is that no one from the show has even bothered to explain why! So on behalf of every listener...who has invested every morning listening to EITM year after year, we deserve an explanation!

So natch, I've done a little digging...

A very reliable source has told me: "That's something to do with Flounder and the new PD. Flounder works on his production and isn't on the show much now."

Could Flounder's absence be at the direction of another overly controlling and clueless ~~Production~~ Program Director? And most importantly, would Elliot really go along with it?

Say what you want about Elliot and Flounder's on-air relationship, but I honestly believe that Elliot would give the shirt off his back for Flounder -- a kid who Elliot discovered and molded into a regional celebrity. I just find it hard to believe that Elliot would allow someone to come in and eliminate Class members, especially Flounder, who (love him or hate him) is somewhat of a mascot of the show.

So what's really going on? Only Elliot or Flounder can answer that question...

Today when Elliot was talking about Mark Paul Gosselaar from Saved By The Bell (who will be in-studio on Friday) there was no mention of Flounder...no storming in proclaiming his love for the show...no telling Flounder to behave tomorrow and not scare Mark Paul away, which inspired me to write this post, not just for me...or you...but for Flounder.

BRING BACK FLOUNDER!

Elliot Awkward In The Morning!

2011-04-21T12:56:00.011-04:00

Elliot in the Morning went down a very awkward path Thursday morning...

It all started around 7:30am with a hesitant Elliot apologizing to Tyler right off the bat...

He began to tell a story about a couple whose friends with Jacquie's mother. Elliot's mother-in-law asked him if the radio station was hiring, because this particular couple is trying to move to the area to start a new life. They recently had a newborn baby who did not survive birth.

Clearly uncomfortable, Tyler addressed his pregnant wife, Lindsey, asking her to turn off her radio. Unfazed, Elliot continued with the story, revealing that this couple took their deceased newborn home for two weeks -- even sitting it at the dinner table.

"That's kind of messed up, the fact that you thought this story was relevant enough to bring up," Tyler said.

Still unfazed, Elliot and Diane discussed the legal implications, whether or not they would recommend the person for a job, and who would be the first to gossip about it in the building. After remaining quiet for the majority of the conversation, Tyler had clearly heard enough...
"It's upsetting people on Twitter, it's upsetting my wife, I'm not happy with you - I'm not happy", he said. "I don't get why this had to come up today or really ever and people agree with me."
**Cue Awkward Silence**

Elliot then took a phone call from a man who had lost his child at 8 months old. **Crickets**

The show then went to commercial and later returned as if the morbid conversation had never taken place. Tyler, however, did not speak for the remainder of the show. In fact, when Elliot directed a question his way, Tyler reluctantly answered, but his mic sounded like it was turned off.

I love E-Dogg, but clearly...this is a conversation that could have been saved for another day -- or never. Have some respect for your work-spouse and his pregant wife. Just sayin'...

R.I.P. EITM's Easter Keg Hunt...

2011-04-20T10:37:00.022-04:00

Back in 2009 when EITM's Easter Keg Hunt was canceled, Elliot vowed to never let it happen again. So in 2010, the hunt returned and everyone was happy.

Fast forward to April 20th, 2011, Elliot made the announcement that EITM's Easter Keg Hunt will not happen this year. There's some issue with the kegs and the DC101 sales team and of course, another clueless program director...

Kegs & Eggs 12 Details Announced!

2011-02-23T17:58:00.001-05:00

Elliot made his big Kegs & Eggs 12 announcement Wednesday morning...

New Elliot In The Morning Website!

2010-12-05T12:04:00.011-05:00

Clear Channel has launched a new website for Elliot in the Morning...

You'll recall, back in July, EITMonline was revamped into a Twitter/Facebook/YouTube feed. At that time, I voiced my displeasure and many of you agreed. Now, it appears that the original, more familiar website, has been abandoned for a new one called EITMshow.com.

It was introduced by Tyler on Facebook...

"I'll be honest, earlier this year, when the company said I had to "kill" EITMonline.com, I was pissed. I was also a little worried that this new "high priority" site (due in August) was going to steer people away from what we could still control, e.g., Facebook and Twitter. Now, four months later, I am no longer pissed and I am no longer worried. Actually, I am happy -- deliriously, in fact -- to introduce... this."

Tyler also tweeted, "Apparently, this, the latest and greatest from Clear Channel, wasn't supposed to go live until Tuesday."

The new website is what I would expect. It's not too in-depth or blog-like, but it gives you some extras. It still utilizes Facebook and Twitter, but everything is now in one place. There are photo galleries, an events page, and a section for the playlist and Diane's Dirt.

There is also an interviews section, which I've missed immensely. Several select interviews are now available without the use of YouTube. But don't get too excited -- gone are the days of streamlined .mp3 audio files used on EITM websites in the past. You will now have to watch an advertisement before listening to interviews embedded in the DC101 Media Player. It's unclear if this will now be the new way EITM provides all of their interviews. Update: Both, YouTube and the media player will be used.

There are also a couple of ads on the website, one is a vodka ad featuring Bruce Willis and another is for Kotex. Hi Diane!

Overall, I like EITMshow.com! It makes it easier to keep up with the show by putting everything in one place. Of course, I'd rather have downloadable .mp3 interviews or even YouTube interviews over a media player any day, but I'm done singing that tune. Good job ~~Elliot~~ Clear Channel!

Update:
EITMonline.com is officially dead. The page now automatically directs you to the EITM Facebook page. R.I.P.

Elliot Headed To Satellite Radio?

2010-11-25T21:37:00.002-05:00

There's been lots of buzz recently about Elliot making a possible move to satellite radio...

Just a few days ago, DCRTV.com reported this:

A DCRTV source tells us that DC101 morning man Elliot Segal was spied today (11/20) at Sirius XM's NYC HQ. With Tim Sabean, who programs the Howard Stern channels on Sirius XM satellite radio. Also accompanying Segal - a few of the Howard 100 channel people. DCRTV wonders if Sirius XM might be thinking about using Segal as a morning replacement for Stern, who still has not signed a new contract. If no deal is penned, Stern's last Sirius XM show will be in mid-December.

The meeting may have happened...Elliot was in New York City last weekend for the Pee-wee show. And I also hear that Elliot is currently working without a contract. My thought is, this would be the ideal scenario for where I would love EITM to end up. If Elliot went to Sirius XM, I would be the first one to subscribe...

Only time will tell. Elliot even poked fun at the recent buzz on Wednesday by saying, "I'm very busy with Howard, I have no time for Ryan Seacrest."

I'll keep you posted...

New PD Headed to DC101 In December!

2010-11-25T21:00:00.007-05:00

Clear Channel DC has appointed James "Doubledown" Howard as the new Production Director at DC101 in Rockville, Maryland and JACK-FM in Baltimore.

Howard will now fill the position left empty by Dave "The Babysitter" Wellington,
who exited two months ago. Howard, (who I will refuse to call "Doubledown" because it reminds me of KFC) has been the Production Director of 98Rock in Tampa, Florida for the past four years.

His first day in DC will be on Monday, December 6th. Click here to read more.

Tyler & Lindsey Are Having a Baby!

2010-11-25T20:41:00.003-05:00

On Wednesday's show, Tyler casually let it slip that he and wife, Lindsey, are having a baby...

The best part was, Elliot and Diane had no clue...as they found out about it right along with the listeners.

Tyler said that Lindsey is three months pregnant and she's due on June 3rd, 2011.

The couple, who wed last Summer after several years of dating, has chosen not to know the sex of the baby until he/she is born.

Tyler joked, "I will have a gay son or a daughter."

Congrats to the Mommy and Daddy to be!

From EITM on Facebook:

If the tease, "Elliot In The Morning 11/15/10," would have been recorded at The Black Crowes + VIP Happy Hour on Saturday, Diane would have told you about Rosario Dawson ('Unstoppable') being on, the woman in the middle would have said, "Elliot will announce a brand new promotion involving Linkin Park and travel," and the guy on the right would have read, "And last, but not least, we'll find out what happened at USC's Mountain Weekend 2010... git... git."

2010-10-06T14:54:00.027-04:00

Kayleigh's name was first mentioned on EITM last month, when it was announced that Kyle would be leaving the show...

After several weeks, we've learned that she's a 22-year-old Mount Saint Mary's University grad and she's not a virgin. That's about it!

So naturally, I had to do some digging. I found out that she started working at DC101 almost two years ago as a Promotions Intern, while also working as a server at a local restaurant.

She also appears to be a major fan of Dave Matthews Band and the biggest bonus...she's HOT!

Contact her via email at kayleigh@dc101.com and follow her on Twitter here. Welcome to the Class, Kayleigh!

Elliot's Streets Of Philadelphia-Gate...

2010-10-01T09:41:00.004-04:00

I find nothing more annoying than being accused of something you didn't say or do...

On Thursday, September 30, 2010, while discussing a survey conducted by PRS For Music about 'Songs That Make Men Cry,' Elliot made a comment that has generated a great deal of confusion, concern, and anger.

Elliot took a few minutes Friday morning to address the woman whose email caused the confusion. He also replayed the audio for anyone who wasn't able to hear it.

The fact of the matter is - Elliot made NO insensitive comments about gay people, so get over it...

LEAVE ELLIOT ALLLOOONNNEEE!!!

Rest In Peace, Greg.
