Whatever happened to Spiceboy after his heart attack?

Nothing, he wouldn't let the doctors finish the diagnosis and blew off a private booking with doctors connected to the show. They did some blood work but I cannot remember if the stress test was even completed.

I like Kathy Griffin (I am going to see her in AC in a couple weeks) but I don't always like her on the show. It's always the same interview. I saw her right after the Artie and Teddy fight - and if you remember she was in studio that day right after it happened. She stopped the "act" part of the night and gave a rundown about what happened from the insider's point of view, it was actually pretty interesting.

Kathy Griffin is an uninteresting boorish woman. There is nothing funny about her, "act" or not. :(

Considering the amount of hassle he went through, the price he paid, and the people he hired to install his television set, I wouldn't be surprised if a few hidden cameras got installed along with it.

Are you kidding me? If I got paid $9000 or whatever to install a TV in the bathroom I'd loving rip every hidden camera out of that house bare-handed and manually extract each bedbug from the mattress with tweezers.

In one of her last interviews on the show, Howard pointed out how in shape she was yet that she was not attractive, right to her ugly face.

anyone remember that?

He was subtle about it kind of, but it was obvious that he didn't find her attractive haha

Charlie Sheen is full on fantastic.

"Bring it!" yelled a triumphant, machete-wielding Sheen, who went up to the roof of concert promoter Live Nation's building in Beverly Hills to do his best Monty Python impersonation address his fans.

Just why he was wielding a sword cannot be divined at this time, but he was supposedly at Live Nation for a business meeting.

"Working on a reality right now," he told the paparazzi as he descended the stairs following his brief trip to the moon, er, roof, along with Kenly and a bodyguard.

"Free at last! This is the greatest day of my life," Sheen added in regard to being officially fired today by Two and a Half Men studio Warner Bros. Television.

When asked if he was going to sue CBS, his network home for the last seven-plus years, he replied, "CB-who? How do you spell that? S-U-K...?"

Sheen, who earlier today tweeted that he's looking for a "#winning intern" to help him handle the social media fray, also said that he needed to make a call to find out if he's supposed to go to court tomorrow to deal with custody issues between him and ex-wife Brooke Mueller.

So Howard is moving from PC to Apple. Just last night I was listening to him rant and rave in 1994 about how Apple is awful and OS/2 is the best.

It is probably for the best, the guy just has always seemed to have a nightmare with his computers and network. I have a feeling it has more to do with him wanting to use awful software and whoever is doing his work is cheapening out on hardware to make a healthy profit off of him.

The show will be worth it until Howard figures out you can plug a regular mouse into a Mac and somehow turns it into Apple's greatest achievement. "USB is the wave of the future, Robin. I even hear they got a 2nd version of it coming out!"

That show really baffles me. I've listened to it, and yeah, it's absolute poo poo. They 'tech' people they get to call in are so retarded and can't explain anything properly. On the other hand, they actually get decent guests. Tricia Helfer has been on there a few times and they get guys like John Favreau on there too.

People love to kill Robin here, but I will admit while annoying she does make me almost die laughing sometimes. Like today:

Gary "Adrianne Curry is a little too yappy for me"
Robin "that is because you have to talk"

People always say they do this, but I swear to god this superslam was the first time I've ever spit out coffee laughing for real. It even burned my ears somehow.

Killing Robin is probably the favorite hobby of this thread, but compared to any other girl on any radio show she is Michael Jordan.

It would be a really good show if Ralph, John Hein, and Gary had absolutely nothing to do with it. All 3 of them are morons and know jack poo poo about computers, gadgets, software, etc. The sickening thing is Howard seems to think they're geniuses ugh.

I know this isn't uncommon, but I think Ralph is the worst. An unapologetic apple fanatic without a single solid reason for why they do the things they do. He can't explain what the difference between 3G and 4G is, doesn't understand that the iPhone 4 is a 3G device, etc. He's painful to listen to when pressed on any issue, really. The worst part is, he's incapable of saying "I don't know." to anybody who asks him a question.

Robin was vegucating some kids. She told them that they've been lied to and that there's no such thing as breakfast foods. You can eat vegetables any time.

On its face, she's right. You can eat whatever you want for breakfast. The way she said it implied there's some sort of conspiracy by Big Breakfast to make us eat eggs and toast everyday instead of green drink.

Never happen. There is no professional radio software for OSX. I know that most audio recording/editing is done on a Mac, at least in my experience, but no one has ever really made a good integrated radio suite for OSX. I am sure the demand is there. Keeping up a Windows machine that is touched by bored disc jockeys with no concept of keeping viruses, etc off it is a nightmare. It is worse at a smaller station without much of a budget for IT.

A station I know of in a small city had to contract out tens of thousands of dollars of free ad time to have them work on their PCs. The owner of the local PC repair shop thought it was a great deal as he had no budget for advertising and didn't think he was going to have to deal with the station much. Fast forward three months the guy had to hire another employee to just deal with the station as they needed on site support minimum three days a week. I believe the owner of the PC repair shop had to cancel the support contract with the station as he was losing money on the deal.

PROTip: NEVER take anything in trade from a Radio Station. They WILL take advantage of you and you WILL get ripped off somehow.

I know the city I live in at the moment has had several businesses close their doors because local media ripped them off. Restaurants are the easiest targets for them. Here is how that scam works. You get offered either free or a reduced ad rate for free food for the station. Most small new restaurants jump right on as they need to get their name out there and they don't think the station will need that much free food. What ends up happening is you have people at the station taking advantage of the relationship, ordering $50-$100 worth of food at a time several times a week. Now generally if you are getting targeted with this scam you don't live in a market that will bring you enough customers to cover that kind of expense. What ends up happening is the guy either tells the station to gently caress off or he goes out of business either because he lost too much money or the station suckered him into signing a binding contract.
