Well, the monitor in the picture isn't a touch screen monitor, so unless it's mirroring another monitor somewhere else that IS touch screen, I'd say they're using the mouse.

It's a functional thing but not exactly pretty. It does make stuff easy to find. "Gary Preview page 1 in red" or "JD page 4 in green" or whatever would be easy to find with the combination of drop-downs and large, easily-read buttons.

My guess is that they're so big because everyone on the show is over 50 and has problems reading up close.

They need to learn to name things by purpose or function, not creator.

If someone could post the Gary's Theater saga that would be amazing. Possibly as good as ripping on him for his pitching, and sometimes it intermixed.

This is honestly one of my favorite bits of all time. I could listen to the entire thing on repeat for hours without getting bored.

It honestly just shows you that A. Howard can rip on you for anything and B. Gary is a dumb person.

Jon Favreau called in on 9-12-01 to say he was a big fan and thank Howard for staying on the air for 9-11. Howard told Jon he loved Swingers too.

Regarding B, if he would just shutup about it, Howard would stop.

Edit: That's probably true of every Gary/Howard fight too.

See, Artie is smarter than this because you see him agreeing with how much he "hated" the Super Bowl experience. Artie, the sports fan that he is, probably loved it but since Howard can't stand being around a group of more than 15 people, knew it was better to agree with Howard than fight over it. Gary never learns this lesson.

Funny that he gets involved now. I can't believe they (Sirius Management) never had a plan B.

I'm guessing there will be no more live Sirius shows and Bubba would just charge them a syndication fee to replay a previsouly recorded show.

I think Tim confirmed this without explicitly saying it on the Wrapup show last week. Exclusive, uncensored content is contracted to RadioIO from Bubba. Short of producing an additional element expressly for Sirius (I don't think theres enough hours in the day?) All they'd be negotiating with him is a terrestrial replay.

Which in a roundabout way has us paying for content that is available free on the terrestrial carriers website.

He has an uncensored OnDemand channel that you pay a monthly fee for.

I can't see Bubba doing them any favors. How many times has he been jerked around by them? When you get cut to a fifth of what you were paid previously and have to go off and do your own thing, that's pretty much the end of any pleasant association for a while.

Eh, its not as great as you think it might be. If you go into it thinking it will be like the old E! show, just uncensored, then you will be in for a rude awakening.

And no, its not available online...officially.

Whoever writes the show descriptions for Howard TV is pretty funny sometimes. The info box for the Frankenstein Makeover Contest episode came up "Joe Cancer, Vin the Retard, Ronnie the limo driver, and Ralph the fag judge a contest where 14 women compete...".

The worst part is that they have about a 10-20% understanding of everything and they think it's like a 50-70% understanding. And Robin thinks she understands it 150% and tries to explain it, and nobody can call her out anymore.

Just once, I'd like to see JD or somebody come into the room and go "Look, Robin, you're loving out of your mind. Android is an OS, not a phone. There are like fifty loving Android-based phones."

Then she'll say "I was just about to say - aren't there like a bunch of phones? Like the Droid X and the Droid 2 and Droid Galaxy or something?"

And then, in my fantasy, she's beheaded by a loose microphone boom.

When Gary came in to talk about sports today I kept thinking 'yeah this guy can't throw a ball' while he's spewing this football knowledge like he's the resident expert. I guess that's sort of why I dislike John Hein too. He's put on some kind of pedestal for no clear reason and his words are taken as fact.

Also that negative Lily caller was spot on with her gripes about the fake woman that calls in with nothing to say.

What the average consumer thinks and what is true is hardly ever the same. There is a phone called Droid, there is an OS called Android. From now until the history of phones is over, people won't care which one you call it and if you point it out you might as well be rolling around in a Stephen Hawkings wheelchair on your way to a D&D camp for all anyone cares.

I don't give them poo poo over that, that is common place stuff. The real funny stuff is when they invent sim chips that go in cars and play music.

Also, yeah, it is hard to bag on Robin for her sick cat. She has the money, might as well take care of the poor thing. I'm amazed she hasn't started her pets on green drink.
