"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Several months ago I cancelled Sirius as I was unemployed. They did the usual take this for free bit and I said no, I don't want to pay and I don't want to pay in the future.

Today I was charged $43 by Sirius. I called them to complain, they immediately pushed me to take a free deal and I insisted that they don't and turn it off. 3 hours later I went to my car and the radio is still working.

Wow, that was awful.

Mine kept working long after I cancelled. The guy I sold it to said it was still working for him when we talked last.

I've heard rumours that they send a "kill signal" around 7am Eastern but if your radio isn't on, it won't get the signal.

If it doesn't get it, you'll probably be good for like 6 months.

I would guess they probably send out that 'kill signal' for a few days anyway.

That sucks. Pocket Tunes was a good backup for when their app wasn't working. I've noticed since the upgrade I get a "your data service has stopped" warning at least once an hour or so. The rest of my iPhone is fine, it's the app.

I had the same thing happen. I canceled months ago and then randomly a charge for service on a radio that is in the garbage somewhere showed up on my credit card. I called, and they had no record of me calling to cancel it. I tried to get the money back, but they were not having it.

Well I have a Lifetime Account so I can't use the official app and I am sure as hell not giving Sirius anymore money. Hopefully they will figure out a way to stream it again soon.

Oh man I cant believe it took this long for this show to come up. I caught a quick commercial for it on H100 one day, and went "nah, that must be a playboy show or something"

Nope, its some great original programming from Tim Sabian. Apparently the only person they could get to do a show for free was a former intern.

When you hear that swingers show, keep in mind they chose it instead of Black on Black, aka the best 7pm Monday show Howard 100 ever put on. A loving disgrace, Sirius is run by total idiots who luckboxed into Stern saving them from the bankruptcy they should have had years ago

EDIT

Jesus Howard, just because you are a awful, selfish human being who can't be forced to do anything nice for another human being does not mean everyone else is.

I mean even if everyone did get their relationship with George because f the show, he has been a heavy contributor and cast member for the last five years at least. No one can have a personal relationship on their own with the man and feel comfortable enough to ask a personal favor as a friend?

Howard really is a terrible, miserable person.

Yeah, I was glad Richard stood up to him. I thought Richard had a good comeback when Howard complained that he wanted George to perform the ceremony because he wanted someone "fun" to wed them. Richard shot back that it was okay when Howard had Kelly Ripa's husband Mark Consuelos perform their ceremony. WTF, Howard.

Listening to Riley Martin last night, I wondered to myself, is this guy just full of poo poo (obvious answer) or is he really schizophrenic? And if he is actually mentally ill, isn't it weird that they give him a show? It's really awful to listen to at this point, too, because he goes over the same 10 or 11 things repeatedly. ("near light speed, then to quark, sub-quark, nuon, tachyon, and then..")

If he isn't a little chemically unbalanced, then you have to wonder about his convictions and why they are so strong.

He probably is so, plus the "food poisoning" doesn't help.

Dude is just an old scam artist, he's trying to slap star trek words in there. He keeps saying the same thing because he's too lazy and drunk to look up anything new. You should have heard him on Coast to Coast AM, he finished every sentence with "and things of this nature" because he thought it made him sound smart.

God I love Riley Martin.

Had a surreal show moment this morning when I got in the car. When I had turned off the radio in my house, they had just gone to break a little while before. I got in to a car and there was a tradio prank call so I figured they were just coming back. It was one I hadn't heard before, and as I was listening I was thinking to myself "where's the joke?" I finally realized that I actually was listening to tradio, as on my way home the day before I switched to FM to listen to a baseball game.

True Story.

Jesse interviews are funny because Jesse rants, Robin relates to him and Howard just wants to be "macho" like him. Then he rambles on about government things like how they built a fake WTC and used lights and mirrors to trick people into thinking it blew up.

How do you find a real Tradio show? I live in LA so I assume we don't have one.

Should I just scan the airwaves looking for an old man talking about pumping off or birthday wishes from the Stickles family?

Can I find it on one of the iPhone apps?

I remember finding one that I think was broadcasting from Northern Kentucky in 2002 or 2003. I could only get it on certain parts of 1-75 and if I had time to kill I would pull over.

It was funny enough without Richard and Sal. Some guy would call in every day saying that he had blue underpinning for sale (look it up if you are not familiar with trailer parks), countless woman selling wedding/brides maid/prom dresses sizes 18-22, and more Praise Jesus and Gold Bless Yous then you could count.
