Tom Leykis is a veteran radio personality known primarily for his controversial talk radio show, “The Tom Leykis Show.” The show aired in several major cities, including Seattle at 100.7 FM The Buzz KIRO in the mid-late 1990s.
Leykis began his radio career in the 1970s in his native New York, working at stations like WBAB and WABC. He moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s and worked at KFI.
His most famous stint was from 1994 to 2009 with “The Tom Leykis Show” on KLSX-FM in Los Angeles. The show was syndicated across the U.S. and was known for its provocative content, often focusing on relationships, sex, and men’s issues from a very candid perspective. Leykis became infamous for his “Leykis 101” segment, where he dispensed relationship advice, often encouraging men to avoid long-term commitments.
Leykis was known for his confrontational style, often engaging in heated debates with callers. His philosophy, particularly in “Leykis 101,” was centered around avoiding financial and emotional pitfalls in romantic relationships, advocating for a lifestyle that prioritized personal freedom and financial independence.
The show ended abruptly in 2009 when KLSX switched formats. After this, Leykis took a break from daily radio broadcasting but remained active in media through various projects.
Following his departure from traditional radio, Leykis started “The New Normal Network” in 2012, which was an online radio platform. He continued to host shows and podcasts, including “The Tasting Room” where he discussed wines, showing another side of his interests.
Leykis has been both celebrated and criticized for his views. His straightforward, often abrasive approach made him a polarizing figure in media, with some viewing him as a voice of unfiltered truth, while others saw him as promoting misogynistic or irresponsible behavior.
As of the latest updates, Leykis has been involved in podcasting and has occasionally returned to radio formats in various capacities, maintaining a presence in the media landscape through digital platforms.

    I was commenting on a post from a Facebook friend who Leykis is also an FB friends. The subject was Seattle sports. I almost got into an argument with him until I remembered that it would be a disaster. My rebuttal was OK, Tom–blow me up Kingdome stye. He posted a video of the kingdome implosion.

    Blow me up started as a way to end calls that Leykis found annoying. Then callers asked to be blown up. It was usually the most tasteless way, like take me out Lincoln style, but usually after a contemporary tragedy.
