Without that guy, none of the bills would get paid.The object is to get yourself into a position where you're a profit draw within a company, then you start getting all the respect and accolades.Yeah, unfortunately, with its massive budget (sound machines, all the guests' travel, Tom's bloated benefits package) the Best Show is a tremendous cost center - albeit a hugely ratings-successful one. Because Tom won't allow commercials.But Buffcoat, you're missing the revenue stream from product placements. According to their latest Form 10-Q, TBSOWFMU and Sharpling, Inc. brought in more than $256,714 last quarter from on-air product placements. These kinds of advertisers include a flea market in Eatontown, 20th Century Fox (Speed Racer), Marky Ramone Inc., and Benny Tudino's, to name a few. Gene Simmons is listed as an account receivable -- deadbeat.

He referred to the Tom in question as "WFMU's top bread-winner". Are there 2?
