Lewis Rhine released a statement saying that he heard Mike was spending more than his cut from the club. I'm not going to jump to any conclusions but that sounds about right. Mike complained on a few shows about the 50/50 pay deal he and Kyle had. He seemed to think that he deserved more than what Kyle was making and that may have been true but it wasn't the deal they agreed on initially. Mike also said he was trying to change that deal but Kyle didn't want any part of it. Mike was also buying a bunch of gear for his Weezer cover band. It all adds up.



Everything Red Bar was in Kyle's name so that Mike could avoid the tax man. That's a lot of trust to instill in someone... One would think you wouldn't want to piss someone off who has that sort of power over your company but greed can make you do stupid shit. If Kyle really wanted to be a huge ass hole he could probably sue mike and fuck him over hard. I hope he doesn't and I don't think he will.



Everyone who has been listening to Red Bar for a while knows that Mike has some character flaws. The whole Dean and Katie thing... I have a feeling there's much more to the story that makes Mike out to be the villan. Regardless, as a listener, I don't really care who's in the right. I like Mike from what I know of him. I think he's hilarious and talented and that's what matters most. Even if he did rip off Kyle, I wouldn't really hold it against him. It may change my overall perception of him as a person but I'll keep listening.



We're all witnessing Red Bar history. I hope Mike will bounce back from all of this with a vengeance. James Fritz unfriended Mike from facebook which I'm guessing means he took Kyles side just like he took Brido's girlfriend's side which sparked the brilliant Chainz bit. I never liked that piece of shit anyway. I'm sure they all have their own story of what happened and I hope we get to hear them in the near future.
