The person I referred to was apparently buying it from some local person who owned a milk cow. They just squirted the poo poo into bottles and she gave it to her kids.

In Ontario, there was a bit of a scandal over farmer that was selling raw milk to clients. His cows were tested and found to be germ free and in perfect health. The guy also had generations of experience but the government shut him down even though he'd never had any complaints lodged against him and they could find nothing wrong with his operations.

What kinda creeps me out about milk production is that they have to refortify it with Vitamin D and other minerals because it's so processed.

But I agree, drinking raw milk without thoroughly researching it is kinda dumb and at no point should you just take it straight from the udder without it being tested.

Unpasteurized milk, butter and cheese is the norm in Europe and frankly tastes better. Do I think it is more healthy at all, no. As long as there is proper regulations in place to maintain the safety of the milk products then you do not need pasteurization. I missed Quivers spouting off her insanity but I bet it was something kooky.

They add extra Vitamin D to the milk than what naturally occurs. Raw milk has less Vitamin D than processed milk.

from marksfriggin:

Bobo asked when the 3 days a week schedule is coming. Howard said that it's not coming right away but he will be doing a more limited schedule eventually. Howard said right now they're doing the 4 day a week thing and they'll be doing some 4 days and some 3 days a week. Eventually he will cut back to 3 days a week but not for a while. He said that the show is still on a roll and he thinks that the Sirius service is offering people a lot of options. He said they'll be adding more stuff to the two channels too*.

Howard said that they have 30 years of material to play too so this is a good compromise so he didn't have to leave radio. He said he thinks this will be good. He said he can pop in and do shows when he's in the mood.* Howard said he was thinking about doing like one show a week but they asked him to do 3. He said he wanted to keep that connection with the audience. Howard told Bobo that it should be a few months down the road before the 3 day work week comes around.

I couldn't believe it when he just flat out said that as well, what a joke. He's outright making GBS threads on his fans. As much as I've become a fan, it's getting worse and worse. And with Bubba 100% gone from 101, that channel is just unlistenable now. Not to mention Bubba's IO deal, which is just one giant infomercial now.

Holy poo poo! How does Sirius look at a deal/demand like that, and sign off on it, and then ask Bubba to work for 100k and Adam Corolla to work for free?

When I worked for a phone company a "shareholders action group" was created to overturn business decisions twice as sound as that one. Does Don Buckwald have some seriously incriminating photos of Mel Karmazan or something?

And 30 years of content, or whatever he wants to pass off his reruns as? I love the old bits and fights, but listening to a play through in its entirety from 1993 just comes off as dated and boring. That President Clinton sure does like to chase the ladies!

Because the company will fold without Stern. They know it, the shareholders know it and Stern knows it. The treatment they have given other talent and utter mismanagement of everything else is grounds for shareholders to be up in arms but resigning Stern at any cost was not a dumb one.

Really? Any time I have been in Europe over the years I have never ran into anything other than unpasteurized milk products, particularly cheese and butter. I dream about the butter and cheese in France.

I understand why we have to have all our dairy products pasteurized in the US. If you haven't seen the conditions where we get our milk and how it is processed don't. You won't touch a dairy product again. I can only think of the horror that would happen if it wasn't illegal. That being said I think if you can get unpasteurized from a source that you know and have the information that it is safe take the chance. Most people don't have that option though.

They may have 30 years of content but how many of that is actually entertaining? I'd say that they've pretty much found all the good stuff since they start airing the material 6 years ago.

I think once Rae or Ben goes he'll be off the air for good.



Holy poo poo. If that went to court would they open up the books and see how many subscribers there are? My guess is that they'll just come to a settlement.

OK no one else would give him a show but that doesn't mean you should make him work pro bono. If you do a job you deserve to be compensated.

Streebs posted:

Until recently JD was working 12+ hours a day, often sleeping in the office, and made so little he had to live in a crappy apartment in Queens or something with three other guys.

Plus, whenever someone like Gary or Sal/Richard tried doing appearances and gigs on the side to make up for it, Howard complained that they weren't doing their job at the radio station properly because they must have been too "tired and distracted." You can't win.

I also noticed this over at SFN. Little Lupe news:

quote:

A porn film director who used underage Colombian children in his videos has been arrested in Spain, W Radio reported.

Spanish police arrested Pablo Lapiedra, a Spanish native, on charges of prostituting and recording Colombian children in pornographic films he then sold for financial gain.
....
The film was placed on an internet site where it could be downloaded for up to $100. Early investigations showed the internet site was registered under Lapiedra's wife's name Zuleydy Piedrahita, a Colombian citizen who is also a pornographic actress.

Interpol then issued an international arrest warrant against Lapiedra and his wife. He was arrested last Thursday.

I take it from this article that Lupe herself is wanted by Interpol since her name was used to register the domain. Question is whether she knew about it or what her ex was doing. I'm guessing we won't hear anymore from her on the show or her sound-drops. Thankfully.

I don't think this is from her old website her ex-husband ran, it's from another site he ran with illegal poo poo on it which was registered in her name. When she testified in that Peurto Rico court case that was mentioned on the show, she had to prove she was of legal age when her original site was running. The court was apparently satisfied with her proof and let the guy go who was charged with buying her DVD's.

She's hosed unless she can prove she had no knowledge of the second site and he used her name to register it without her permission.
