I think Howard is right in that a lot of his audience simply doesn't get the show. I've been a fan since the 90s and have listened to every single minute of every show since late 2005, and I have not once been pissed off at it. I don't even understand how anyone could be. It's entertainment, simple as that. Would you get pissed off when going down the slide at a waterpark? Would you get pissed off while watching a concert with your favorite band? Maybe you should stop listening to the show for a while and quit bitching about it.

I really don't understand these posts. Do these guys even read SA at all? All we do is bitch about every single thing for every reason :kiddo:

Richard Belzer interview from I think last year.

Now HE would be good in the Artie chair. He and Howard have probably the best chemistry I have ever heard as far as his interviews go.

I'm over it, but I guess to entertain the point - how many knights do we have outside of medieval literature or fantasy? Zero, but yet everyone knows it's not pronounced "kanigget". I suppose usage of "mage" is probably restricted to more fantasy use than non, but it's still hardly some obscure word that Blizzard invented.

Basically it just annoyed me because I'm not into WoW nor am I a fantasy gamer and yet I know and have known that word for as long as I can recall, and that entire segment of asking her WoW trivia that neither the asker nor the answerer had any idea what any of it meant was bad radio.

I would say that everyone knows what a knight is sure, but in the instance of a mage most movies and things like that call them wizards, which everyone knows what it is.

I honestly don't think I have heard the term mage used 1 time outside of the internet in at least 5 years. The point made about him pronouncing it wrong over and over I agree with, but ragging on someone for not knowing what a mage is, well that is just some goon rage. Hell, I bet my roommate doesn't know what a mage is. He doesn't use the internet or play any games besides things like call of duty. I will ask him when he gets home.

edit
Earthquake would be my favorite addition to the Artie chair. Every time he is on I piss my pants laughing, no comedian makes me laugh harder at the moment. I am not sure if he could do it day in and day out for years, but that is a two week experiment I would like to listen to

Here's a small article about the Sirius/Stern lawsuit from a few days ago.

http://siriusbuzz.com/sirius-xm-files-answer-to-stern-suit-seeks-dismissal-of-suit-without-prejudice.php

quote:

The company did pay Stern $25 million, and Buchwald $2.5 million when the merger with XM was completed, a fact that perhaps most investors were not aware of.

Good thing Stern turned around and sued them for more money. Now maybe he'll be able to afford that bicycle one of these days.

After listening to the wrap up where the guys were talking about if they would bang Bibi, I didn't realize JD actually had sex with Kimberly Kane. I couldn't find any clips on youtube, but does someone remember around what time that all happened? I'm a JD fan and that poo poo sounds like it could be really funny.

This is more about the money. Asking for the definition on subscribers could be incredibly damaging to the company, and it's hard to see Stern not looking towards getting more money just to remain silent.

Joe 30330: Dec 20, 2007; "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.

I just got back from Napa a few days ago where we held the first ever 15 Foundation "It's For The Kids Benefit Concert." What a wonderful weekend! I met so many fantastic fans. We had a great dinner on the lawn at the Villagio in Yountville. It was amazing to look out and see the faces of so many friends.

The Connelly Ranch is one of the charities we partnered with for this event. We were treated to a performance by the kids who participated in a spring break program there; the 15 Foundation sponsored an improvisational music program for them. These precocious 6- and 7-year-olds wrote their own song called "Amazing, Spectacular, Flying Starfish." Later, David Pack of Ambrosia picked up a guitar and serenaded us with some of his hits. My favorite was Make a Wish. I found myself still humming it when I was back at work Monday morning.

Kerry Egan, one of the 15 Foundation board members, and I auctioned off a few items live and in person. Kerry did the auctioneering; I was the spokes model. We made a great team and made more money for the cause to boot. Have to thank the Late Show with David Letterman people and Vanessa Williams of Desperate Housewives as well as the Shandry Family for their generous donations. Thanks to all the bidders too.

Once dessert was served it was time to board the trolley to get to the Lincoln Theater. Our headliner, Leon Russell, had rolled into town in his giant tour bus early that morning. There was a sighting of him on the streets of Yountville earlier that day. I was excited -- I had never seen him perform live before -- and there were some other great performers on the bill too.

After stopping by Leon's bus to say hello, I rushed over to the theater to meet the kids from the Edible School yard, our other charity.They had also participated in a MIMA workshop and they had written and recorded their own song and mad a video. About 10 very enthusiastic middle school students entered the green room. They had each learned to play their parts on instruments they had never studied or played before to perform in the video, which was about to be debuted.

The warm reception that greeted me when I walked on stage was almost overwhelming. I don't know how to convey what it means to have people show up for an event that I have created. It means so much and I so wanted everyone to have a good time. Just as I was about to leave the stage, I thanked the audience for putting up with all the antics of the Howard Stern all these years and got the warmest applause of all. It's amazing how wonderful our fans are.

Speaking of how great the audience was, the opening acts included a local group of musicians called the Pickups and San Francisco media personality Brian Copeland. The Pickups are a group of winery owners who created their own garage band just because they like to play. Turns out, what they play is mostly country. They love what they're doing and you can tell they're having a really good time. Brian, the comedian, who is black, heard the music they were playing and started to freak out. I was summoned back stage. Brian wanted me to introduce him because he felt funny following a country band.

I went out, thanked the Pickups for being there and asked the audience to give them another round of applause. Then I did Brian's introduction. I don't know what he was worried about; he was great and he got lots of laughs. I heard a woman a few rows behind me exclaim, "I love him," during his set.

After a short intermission, Leon Russell and his band took the stage. He was great. He looked like a big, ole rock and roll Santa sitting behind his keyboard in an Hawaiian shirt. He was in fine voice, sang all the hits and his band was tight. He even dedicated a song to me. That made all the hard work worth it.

Thank you to all the people who attended and to all the amazing people who worked behind the scenes to pull the evening together, especially Vida Mulec. She is the only staff member of the 15 foundation. She gives all the orders and then carries them out. She's amazing. And thanks to all of you. I love you.

For anyone who's curious radio IO put out their 10-Q filing today. Some highlights of the madness.

quote:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $248,000 and $232,000, respectively, while cash provided (used) by operations was approximately $463,000 and ($133,000). The Company has not attained a level of revenues sufficient to support recurring expenses.

In June 2010, the Company issued 16,000,000 shares of its common stock to related parties in connection with the conversion of debt. Entities controlled by Thomas Bean received 10,000,000 shares and entities controlled by Alex H. Edwards received 6,000,000 shares.

On April 4, 2011, the Company�s board of directors approved the following actions:
The issuance of 3,000,000 restricted common shares to each of the directors, Thomas Bean, John Stanton, and Alex Edwards, in lieu of any compensation, which would have been received during the previous five years of service through December 31, 2010;

In April 2011, the Company issued 10,000,000 restricted common shares to the Bubba the Love Sponge Show and related personnel as part of the agreement with the Bubba the Love Sponge Show to provide content for Radioio Live.

They have increased sales %61 in Q1 but somehow loosing 7% more per the 2010 quarter, of course the fans couldn't stop the stock from totally tanking today almost loosing 50% of its value.

Yes and he was put on the Board of Directors for radioIO as well. Not sure how much power that wields him though. People that signed up for the 3 year deal are all being issued 100 restricted shares of the stock (which closed at .12 today and will probably do even worse tomorrow) as well.

I've listened to his 2 hour uncensored show and it really isn't worth the money for a subscription. Two hours (minus his constant plugging of bullshit merch/commercials/him stuffing his face on air) is just too short.

edit: he's kind of flipping out at people on his twitter account right now http://twitter.com/#!/BTLSRADIO

Sirius sent me a bill in the mail saying I owe them $9 for some internet streaming service, plus $2 for finance charges. What the gently caress? Several months ago, the guy I talked to at Sirius told me I was paid out for the year for service. On top of that, I never agreed to be billed any finance charges. In the past, they had cut off my internet streaming when I hadn't paid it.

gently caress Sirius.
