drat it. As of this morning, Music Dock no longer works for iPhone/iTouch with accounts that aren't "Premium". Hopefully they're able to fix it.

Edit: SiriusXM Streamer no longer works on my computer either. I'm forced to listen to their lovely player in Explorer right now.

The Howard Stern porn parody is hilarious and actually well made. The guy playing Howard really looks and sounds like Howard, and it's got several great scenes, like Gary Dell?Abate licking Lisa G's rear end in a top hat. Thumbs up. It's also produced by Tabitha Stevens. I bet Stern hates that.

She called in this morning to talk about letting Jeff the Drunk gently caress her rear end again. I tuned in midway through the call so I'm not sure if they talked about the parody

What is the story about Howard railing against some guy named Alex? I missed the initial explanation but caught mentions of it later in the show.

At the start of the show they played the media reaction to Benjy's outburst at the press conference last week. This Alex guy was complaining the loudest, berating Howard and calling for Benjy to be fired.

Then it turned out the guy not only has a show on Sirius, but was broadcasting live so they rigged Howard up with a mic and went to this studio.

It was pretty funny this morning, Howard was blasting that Alex guy for removing the Jewish part of his last name when for YEARS Howard claimed he wasn't Jewish or just "half" Jewish.

Pretty sure that was the joke...he's obviously not half-Jewish. Especially the other half being Italian.

Right, sort of like how any Yiddish phrases he uses are 'Italian'. It always cracks me up when he tells someone that, and they seem to believe it.

During the first two hours of today's show (June 20th)

It was disappointing though. Howard had some full on heat going when he stormed into their studio, but it turned out the guy was like 70 years old and started to kiss up to Howard instead of arguing with him.

I'm 2 hours into today's show and this is the best one in months. I loving love when Benjy goes out and gets tape for the show, and the setup leading to Howard marching down to Alex Bennet's studio was gold.

Try to catch the show from the very beginning if you can, the Benjy montage / discussion is great. When Howard leaves Alex's show Robin and Benjy start having a conversation with them and Benjy immediately starts hitting on the hot cohost with his schtick, I love it.

Did I get the names mixed up? He basically did, though it was a dud with Alex being far kinder in person than when he was ranting about Benjy

e: Adurr Alex Bennett not Alex Jones..talk about a fuckin' no name. I loved Howard's rant about all the noname no-ratings talk radio shows. He seems really pissed at the way Sirius is treating him and it's translating into some great angry Howard rants.

They're not asking you to pay anything extra. They just got rid of the old streams that the third party streamers used. You can still use their web player or an app on your phone.

Nope, if you have a lifetime sub you can't use the official Sirius app. It is only for "Premium Internet" subscribers.

Basically they hosed over every single lifetime subscriber since the web app is basically unusable which is why there were 3rd party apps in the first place and you are unable to use the official app.

I rarely if ever use my radio anymore and pretty music just used the streaming 3rd party apps on my phone and computer. I don't have Flash installed on anything anymore (It is terrible on both OSX and Linux) so I can't even use the web app if it worked worth a poo poo.

I am sure I could call and bitch to Sirius and get 5 gazillion months free of it but that isn't the point. They shouldn't treat the customers who invested the most into them this way.

I think it is 12 bucks a month, same as a monthly sub.

Oh I doubt they will give a poo poo. And I really don't want to deal with Sirius billing me for anything from what I went through and all the horror stories I have heard.

I know when I first got my radio I was month to month for a little bit and I used a prepaid credit card thing I got from my bank at the time for when I was doing online shopping it wasn't connected to my bank account. (This is a GREAT thing and I really miss that bank.) Well after a few months I ended up buying a lifetime sub on the radio and saving some cash in the long run. Fast forward a couple of months and I start getting angry calls from Sirius people about how they kept trying to bill the safety card and there was no funds in it, I owe them money, etc. I tried to explain to them that I ended up getting a lifetime sub on the radio, etc. They would not listen and kept threatening me with taking me to court and whatnot... all over 15 bucks. I called Sirius customer service tried to explain the situation and the rep could not fix the issue since for some reason I was getting billed twice for one radio and there was no way to remove the monthly sub on their end. :psyduck:

So the lovely phone calls lasted another couple of weeks until I basically told them to either take me to court or gently caress off because either way I will win.

I love Howard and a lot of programing on Sirius but if it is a choice between paying even more money or not using the service I would rather not use the service. I am on a train with my iPhone anyway part of the day so downloading the show and putting what music I enjoy on it is what I am already doing. It is not a huge loss for me.
