Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:What does Fratto get from this? Is ETM promoting a product, or is Fratto using him just to get on the air? I don't really see why they're doing this at all. When Fratto gets on the air, he usually gets a plug for something he's doing. Or getting ETM some media presence allows him to exercise his tiny, angry fists of power. Or they could just be desperate for attention.

I was actually going to say this as well, I renewed my Sirius last week because I got a car with it built in and everything on the show just seems so rehearsed and staged now, its like they ran out of things to talk about and made it into a scripted drama.

Speaking of cars with stereos build in, I want to get a new (nicer) radio than my factory install. I have XM in my car, so I have the receiver already. Will most aftermarket radios fit with the satellite receivers?

In general, no. Most aftermarket satellite radios are all one piece, and most OEM car stereos have separate head unit and satellite receivers. This way they can make you buy the box as a pricey upgrade. You might luck out, though.

And yeah - even the receiver is crazy expensive. Head units aren't bad though.

I enjoy rear end napkin, but Debbie sounds like a straight up crazy person and should get help, not radio time. It makes me sad to hear her and I can't imagine what life is like for her son. Mom, get off the phone, put the cats down and stop trying to sleep with rear end Napkin Ed please, you are embarrassing me!

Yeah, one of the worst results of the move to Sirius was that the general semi-functioning loons weren't as able to participate in the show any longer, since most of them can't afford the sub fees. So instead we get one full blown crazy person who's not even interesting or humorous. Nothing about Debbie has ever even made me grin. It's harrible and I immediately skip ahead about 10 minutes whenever he picks up her bullshit call.

AxeManiac posted:Yes the Eric the Midget bit is fake, you can tell by his bad acting and loving up everything. He even said a few times "Well Fratto put that in to be funny". Wait Eric story is fake? So he's not an annoying twat with delusional ideas of his own stardom floating around in his midget cranium? (sleeping Frotto was the giveaway?) Everytime I hear Eric, it's the worst poo poo ever. He's so ungrateful it's painful to listen to. Howard was about to hang up with him last week and he kept him on another 10 minutes. Soooo bad. Anyways, Howard spouting off about Green Lantern being better than Thor, and Slumdog Millionaire was just silly. I still love the show, you just have to wait for the great guests. I canceled my Sirius subscription though so I catch what I can on the webs -- I could never get the replay right - always listened to the same bit when I tuned in. Also, there is no pausing, and no archiving at the end of the day/week. I've e-mailed the show several times that they should make Howard TV an iTunes downloadable or Amazon downloadable show -- I would pay for that since my service doesn't carry HowardTV as an option. The Benjy/Elisa saga has actually been entertaining though.

I'm pretty sure that to Johnny Fratto, the ETM stuff is a bit but to Eric it's a lot more real... So when it comes to his list of demands, you get a mix of Johnny's zany poo poo that he convinces Eric to say, like the "no interaction with werewolves!" thing, and Eric's real bullshit, like the "give my assistant an assistant" or the "4 20oz of Pepsi" poo poo.

The best was when a non-fan would call into the show to complain about Howard being racist or something and Howard would rip into them for half an hour and end up offending them even more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASl0XZs45Zc Nowadays when someone complains he tells them to gently caress off and hangs up in thirty seconds.

Howard used to believe that Sarno could cure The Gay; even though it might be depressing, I would love a series of shows where Howard listens to his old material and comments on how he feels about it now. That could be insightful.

Spent 13 minutes on hold with Sirius to cancel. They billed me $170 for the year coming up. I said I never renewed, never ordered, never consented. So they offered me a year for half price. I said no thank you. They offered me 2 months free, and I would have to cancel in February. I said no thank you. So they canceled my service. But then they said there was balance of $2.40 for the 2 days of Sirius that I used from Dec 10 when my last subscription ended. I said I used no service, asked for no service, and ordered no such service. They told me it was Sirius policy to auto-renew, and that I was aware of such policy. I told them it was my policy to not pay money for something that I had not purchased. I asked the woman on the phone how she would feel if I filled her car with gasoline when she wasn't looking and then charged her for it. She was not concerned and cited company policy. Policy is not the law. I am under no contract. I asked to speak with someone who could remove the $2.40 bill, but alas, no one was available with that authority. She said she would escalate the issue and I asked her to please do. And the call was over.

While looking for a link for you I ended up at HowardStern.com and holy poo poo is that site garbage. Half the areas on the main page aren't expandable and have content spilling over their borders. Looking at the code, the whole thing is song in tables and frames. (FRAMES! Not even iframes!) That's some quality 1999 technology there. Also, there's Javascript at the bottom of the page that builds the show archive menus, so you can see exactly how many shows there have been this year. (175 so far)

I'm not even trying to be cute - when the goon who put those clip packs of him from 2002-2009 on Scriptcover, I downloaded them all and must've played them at least a hundred times. No joke. Everywhere I went, I listened to his calls. He's like a magnet, I'm stuck on him. I actually was wanting to send him a fan e-mail, for real, and to possibly inquire about getting one of those "Fly Me With Balloons" t-shirts Langford mentioned as a blurb years back... Anyone, feel free to PM me on here if you know how to reach him.
