Your mommy kills animals! I bet you didn't know that.
On the technology tip, here is a quote from the howardstern.com rundown of Monday's show:

quote:

[Palin] lists Congresspeople who are against guns...each person on the map here--like for example, here’s her name: Gabrielle Giffords. These are people ‘in the crosshairs.’ And you can see there’s a big giant scope.” [Don’t bother trying to see this for yourself, this content has been taken off her Website]

Uhhh, right. Here, buddy, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=palin+target+map . So apparently whoever is writing the rundowns is a bit of a dunce as well.

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.

No, the worst part is thinking Gary and John Hein are tech geniuses and sending them to CES.

Right. But it hasn't disappeared from the internet. It is entirely possible that I am misreading a bit of sarcasm from whomever wrote the rundown, but it doesn't seem that way.

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.

I so badly want to make fun of people for getting all spergy about the tech talk on Stern and how protective they get over their gay-rear end phones, but then I remember how much it drives me nuts when Howard says he's a comic book expert and half butchers every fact he throws out about comics. We've all got our bugaboos, I guess.

I know this subject has been done to death at this point but I was randomly listening to old Stern shows that I've saved up and laughed my rear end off when I came across this quote from December 15th 2000. Howard just announced his new contract. A reporter asked "Does this contract give you more time off?"

Howard's response was very confident: "You can only take a certain amount of weeks off in radio. Radio is habitual. People tune in every day to hear it. It's not like the Tonight Show where you can take Fridays off or Monday off or something like this. You know, Johnny Carson worked out a contract where he showed up three days a week and I don't think I can be like that. Either your committed to it and you're here every day for the audience pretty much, you know, you take your vacation days and stuff but if I'm going to do it I've got to be aggressive about it."

No, you're just reading too much into the statement entirely. The content was taken off her website, just like the rundown says. Whether or not it is available elsewhere is a different matter (and something the rundown does not address).

Meh, whateva. It could be read a couple different ways, but rather than quibble over semantics, I'll just concede that I probably am reading too much into it and blame it on the writer for not phrasing it more effectively. Who cares.

a) Howard thinks Burberry is the brand that fits his 58 year old whiteboy lifestyle? Haha.

b) Obviously he doesn't realize that UK brands have UK sizing, and a UK 12 is a US 13 so those boots would probably fit him just fine.

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.

The sad thing is that out of that bunch Gary is an expert. Other than Robin and Tennis (I'm assuming because I don't know poo poo about tennis) none of them know anything about sports.

Just got one of those "why did you cancel" surveys from Sirius. The first question is do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
You agree, disagree or chose no opinion.
"Howard Stern is not on the air as much as he was when you first signed up"

I wonder how many people are really canceling because of him doing less shows.

Howard cut him off before he could explain, his connection was terrible. I can't wait for KOABs father to croak giving him full access to all that money and blowing it on ralph lauren purple label and Burberry shoes. He's going to wind up poor, begging for money.


Is anyone else having problems with streaming the show. The Sirius app kicked me out saying y account was invalid and the pocket tunes app keeps having connection problems.

Maybe KOAB was assuming that since Burberry was a British company then they have their shoe sizes in UK sizing? A UK 12 is a US 13. Thats the only thing I could think of.

I imagine when KOAB does kick off, he'll be found in a Walmart aisleway. In one hand, his Bridge card. In the other, a can of shaving cream. Generic shaving cream. And the look in his dead eyes will be one of horror.

Goddamn...that happens ALL the loving time. That app is a piece of poo poo. I am surprised to hear that Pocket Tunes is having problems - never really had any issues with that.

Re: KOAB. I was afraid they were going to talk to him and let him tell his story, what ended up happening was hysterical. They were talking over him like he wasn't on the phone and then they hung up on him. :lol:

That's what I told them when I was going to cancel. But I took the 50% off for a year and 3 months free internet. They're cutting deals all over the place. I don't know anyone who has paid full price for Sirius/XM.

Yeah, I love kitties too. But I'd probably put it to sleep if I had to do that. But then I'm not an aristocrat like Robin.

As for the green drink thing, I must be having Deja Vu, because I'd swear they were talking about that this morning when I was listening.

I can't see how that business model is going to work. Sure, you can report a large number of subscribers, but if most of them are in at a discount, you're losing money (assuming the standard cost of a subscription provides a minimal profit above operating costs).

Crap - I interrupted a Robin burn run.

I'm starting to wonder if Sirius will make it five years at this point. Bubba mentioned something about money and waste, but you have to really wonder how they're doing it at this point.

Oh, and check out Eric the Midget's birthday wishes for Howard. At the beginning he says he's never calling in it. Halfway through he starts begging for Bubba's old time slot. It's insane.
