Long as we are talking about commercials breaks, he takes one at 7, then 7:30 (though today he missed it) and another at 8. I know this because I listen straight through without interruption from 6-8. The 7:30 is new since the start of 2011. Three commercial breaks in two hours, 10 minutes each or so. Three of them are actually from 7-8 (though the 7 AM one counts for the first hour). So that's around 30 minutes of commercials in an hour, technically.

Listen, I'm going to tell you something: I pay a gently caress ton for my television set up and I can't even watch 60 Minutes. I am hosed and everything is a loving nightmare. I can't get pictures and I can't get cable.

You know who never really complains or talks about technology? Fred. That fucker has said 2 words during all the phone talk. He said he had an Iphone, and loved it. No bitching about how hard it is to work, or its battery life or crappy AT&T. I am sure he knows how to work his DVR and can loving watch 60 minutes when he wants to.

I have to say I didn't hear much of today's show, but Sal getting dressed up as Sally, and yelling at Jeff the Vomit Guy was hilarious. It could have caused an Accident had I been driving while it was on. Also: Garvernor

Vakal posted:Because Fred gets paid to work his board. That makes me think. Is Howard satisfied, really, with the product he's been putting out over the past year? I think I actually laugh out loud like once or twice per show each day and I listen to the whole thing. The last thing to make me laugh was when that guy Ox called in and asked about Lisa Shitsatwork-boig, and Sal and Richard's Lt. Governer call. Sal and Richard are almost nonexistant on the show anymore and the show is suffering in a huge way comedically. So my question is does Howard think he's putting out a good product? It can't be, he can't think that and at this point I dont think he gives a gently caress anymore. The resigning was just to squeeze a few more bucks out of his legacy

And he wanted more money because that's how he keeps score with other celebrities so he can believe he's better than them. CrazyAss13 posted:He coined the phrase "Jumped The Shark" and created a website about it that he sold for over $1 million dollars. I remember visiting the Jump the Shark site back in like 1998 and even then I thought it was a lovely designed site, and this was the days of gif plastered AngelFire and GeoCities sites. The thing back then literally just had a beige background with text links to shows with a basic radio button poll listing a few user submitted choices to when you thought a show JTS. That's loving it. Jon Hein might as just well say he won the lottery like Double-A did. It was not by any masterwork on his part.

TV Guide might have over paid, but it's not the same as winning the lotto. He created a site and promoted it and got a payday. You got to give him a little respect for that.

Howard: I got to thinking today, how does the Sirius satellite get its power anyway? Even if they had filled it with gasoline at launch, eventually it would have run out by now. Someone explain it to me. Robin: You know, I was just thinking the same thing. I mean, I don't think they make extension cords long enough to reach into space. Benjy: Hey Howard, I think they use solar panels to generate the power and- Howard: Stop acting stupid Benjy, everyone knows the sun goes away at night. Let's get Jon Hein in here, he'll know. Jon Hein: Well you see Howard, the first satellite launched was Sputnik back in 1957 by Russia... Howard: Wait, the Russians! You're telling me that other countries besides America have satellites in space? Jon Hein: Yes, Howard. Howard: See, if I was president, the first thing I would do is pull the troops out of Iraq and send them into Russia. Space belongs to America, not these other countries filled with crazy people.

I love that Benjy was the voice of intelligence, but a big part of me wishes that he would have told Howard that the internet started as a series of tubes. The Europeans got it around the time they built the Chunnel. They just threw the tubes through there. I mean, why wouldn't they. China can filter the internet by shutting off various tubes. BTW, the reason that a site crashes is because there's too much data going through the tube. You know, like when a water pipe gets clogged.

Pardon me for being an idiot, but isn't the tube analogy kind of right in some spots? There are various connections to various servers/computers around the world. They can each only handle so much data at a time, and if that data exceeds how much the "tube" can take, it has trouble getting through because the servers are overloaded with data from the tube?

Ah, Howard "Socialism is BULLSHIT!!!!" Stern ranting about the inequities of the NFL and how the salary cap should be abolished. Nothing beats this for radio gold. It really is a horrific shame that these poor (benchlevel) (rookie) princelings only get paid 10 times as much as the average US wage earner gets paid. ($325k is the league minimum for players who have not proven anything in their profession) It's almost like... like maybe they should plan on not being in the league forever and maybe set aside some of that pay to take care of their own health insurance instead of buying 3 houses and Lamborghinis and RIMS RIMS RIMS? Most of these players have been treated as kings since they were 15, most have never had a real job, most barely did anything academic in college (which was free for them to a top tier school thanks to what your tuition cost) so Howard can gently caress off caring about every other organization's salaries while pretending he has nothing to do with what his staff gets paid by Sirius. Waaaah NFL players have headaches  Meanwhile every day of the week some poor warehouse/dock/factory worker gets killed by a container falling on him for his $6.95 an hour. (Without a salary cap the NFL will be a terrible league just like baseball so this annoys me when he talks ignorantly about it.)

I've got an issue that is driving me loving bonkers at work when I'm trying to listen to Stern or Ellis or Bubba, wondering if anyone can help me out. I've got the Sirius XM Canada app and it is a gigantic piece of crap compared to the US one. You can't pause a stream, you can only stop it; and it doesn't even play in the background. It's pretty much completely useless. Does anyone know of an alternative app that can use my user credentials to stream me some Sirius? Switching over to a US sub is out of the questions because I've got 8 radios on this account (friends and family etc.) so it would be way more work than it is worth. I've tried both Pocket Tunes and Wunder Radio, neither of those will let me pause the stream and then resume it where I've left of. When I hit the pause button they just drop the stream completely and pick it back up again where I've left off.

I think Howard should just go balls to the wall and drop the passive-aggressiveness. Seriously, if he's got a beef with his contract, air it. loving call out Sirius for their bullshit and pay cuts. gently caress, what are they doing to do? Fire him? Sue him? Sirius doesn't give a poo poo about the show outside of it runs for the allotted time, so gently caress it. Flushing the show down the toilet doesn't hurt Sirius in the least and Howard should grasp that.
