Yeah they played clips from it, but didn't go too over the top talking about it.

That was beautiful, though. It's so rare to hear someone who lives every day based on the lies they tell to themselves be actually confronted by the truth, by evidence directly contradicting their delusional reality. Fez had no choice but to do what was easiest for him, play at being a victim of himself. The heavy breathing was so great. Fez was trying to, by force of will alone, force his body into having a heart attack so people would then be forced to turn around with him and play his little pity game and now it's all about Fez. The person who called borderline personality disorder is pretty spot on.

Like, Fez is a loving piece of poo poo and a manipulating ash-pile of a man. No one should have sympathy for him any more in his personal life after that. Decades-long lies, just so you can manipulate the person you are dependent on and work with to believe that you think he's your best friend. It's hosed up. Can anyone here imagine a life where you spend almost your entire 60+ years on earth telling yourself you're scared and afraid of life because it's just easier to sit in your filthy apartment and jerk off to rape porn and eat the same cheeseburger every thursday.

Ron and Fez was great today. Bobby and Vos killed it and Kurt Metzger and Sherrod Small were great too. O&A was also really good once Bobby and Vos came on; and the Neil DeGrasse Tyson segment was fantsatic with how retarded everyone in that room was. I can't believe stupid Vos actually asked him about the Bermuda Triangle Twiangle. When Vos suggested Neil bring him on the show and teach him science and Jimmy said, "Yeah, he could say 'And this is my friend, Dumb Talking Turtle'" I was drinking coffee and nearly choked.

I'm only an occasional Ron and Fez listener, so can somebody explain to me why on Earth Fez considers Ron a true friend? I love Ron, but on air he's always seemed hostile towards Fez, exploits him for jokes, constantly leaves him hanging, and generally teases him. He gets away with far more than anyone else in the room when it comes to abusing Fez. So why does Fezzy still think he's some sort of magical protector best friend? The two possible answers I have are: 1. Fez is crazy, 2. It's a work.

It's that Fez (correctly, probably) credits Ron for the fact that he is still employed, and was ever employed in the first place.

The Joe Rogan Podcast "almost ruined" the last part of work yesterday.

I was really looking forward to listen to the latest one where I thought he was having Brian Greene on because he was so great on O&A, but after listening through the commercials at the start, I realized that I had hosed up and it was Robert Greene he had on his show....

Luckily I also had downloaded the Louis Theroux one so I listened to that one instead.

I think that it's fair to say that poor Davey Mac's life is falling apart :(

quote:

We have been informed that the ‪#ýDaveyMacSportsProgram‬ will no longer be on @SiriusXM due to budgetary reasons. Thank you all! Listen online!

quote:

As for as our situation with SiriusXM goes, how we were bizarrely put on hiatus, only to be brought back, and then strangely to be let go again....well, it's simply loving with someone's life. I'll have a lot more to say about it at some point. But for now, I can state that (perhaps ironically) it is not me who is off the rails...it is SiriusXM. There is no strategy. And odd, random decisions that seriously affect people's lives are being made.

I make $150 a week from SiriusXM, $600 a month. While certainly not enough to live on, with a family, the 600 bucks was really important to me.

And not for nothing, but the people at Sirius simply did not take the time to understand or appreciate the talent of XM people. It's that simple. So I was seen as some lunatic from 2006 rather than the legitimate talk show host that I have evolved into and have been recognized as such via awards and hit reviews from the likes of the AV Club, iTunes, Stitcher, Deadspin, and on and on. Really, the ONLY place where the Davey Mac Sports Program doesn't get glowing reviews is for the company it worked for. Shame, really.

Anyway, I'd like to give thank you's to my family and friends and YOU guys for always being great and supportive! In particular, Chris "Pepper Peppy Hamburger" Stanley has been great through this, as have Roy Shaffer and Sean O of our wildly successful online show.

So if still want the Davey Mac Sports Program, and this is not a scummy plug here, but I strongly recommend you listen to future episodes of the Davey Mac Sports Program EXCLUSIVELY on RiotCast.com and/or right HERE on ESD Country!!

Adios, fart-burgers!!!!!!!!!

Dr Steve tweeted a link that showed that Liberty Media, the majority owner in SiriusXM, posted a really solid earnings report this quarter. The company is operating at a profit but they have no interest in investing in talent aside from Howard. They think people should just sign over their podcasts and all of their IP rights to Sirius for free and Sirius can get richer off of content they didn't even have to buy. The arrogance and sheer ineptitude of that mindset is truly staggering. gently caress them right to hell.

I don't get why you're so caught up on this.

Opie is a douchebag but he brought up trying to save Doctor Steve's show from being cut down to a single show a month while talking about how hard he pushed to get Jason Ellis on The Virus. It isn't that crazy that he'd have an ongoing involvement with (what's left with) the channel and that he tried to go to bat for Dave.

Wait....so someone you've worked with for a while calls off and your immediate response is to fire him? After having a few years with the company already?

Did Tim Sabean go to the McDonalds' school of management or something? Because this is stupid as gently caress. Not only is Sirius so messed up that they're firing people who make $600 a month to provide content in between prostitution services and dick creams, they're treating their on-air talent like part-time fast food employees.

Who would really want to work for this company? Bad management all around. I'm hoping O&A and Ron start thinking about heading to normal radio again. The swearing simply isn't worth being caught up when this thing collapses.

In the link above Dave says he got food poisoning and called the station 2 hours before air-time.
