I like that one myself, but it's merely a cloud of some of THE OPESTER's most used catchphrases he parrots without self-awareness. That's how he puts up numbers. Don't be an f-word, I'm trying to swear less for my boring kids

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.
I do think Opie has been better this year, but he's not going to let that 'just a taste' catchphrase die.

I'd like to know what Patton Oswalt suggested the boys do if they don't resign with Sirius (they will). It sounds like they all want to do it for a few more years after the contract is up in October.

I think the costs of Ant's mansion and Opie's new york apartment/kids private school are enough to ensure that they're never going to leave sirius. I can't imagine they'd make anywhere near what they are making if they do their own thing, nor can I see anyone else paying them what they're making now.

He hasn't been better this year.

This secret plan might be interesting but it'll probably be buried away into the "anniversary cruise" file.

They won't leave Sirius. They will either get fired(This won't happen either because they are too important for Sirius numbers) or Sirius will end as a company. That or they get really old and finally retire.

I love people with no fame in anyway who start generic podcasts. Some ideas are clever enough and if you get in early to podcasting you can fill that niche, but most are terrible and overdone anyway. Since I've been working in media, I see it constantly. If you look at it merely as a hobby or a way to refine your own on air talking/personality, fine. However, so many people have delusions of granger about their podcast actually becoming a thing of success. No one is ever going to listen to you talking for an hour about sports or whatever unless they know you, and even then most of them are just being nice.

I've seen it through radio, a guy I know actually quit his radio gig and started a podcast network trying to get a niche audience through "city interest" (as in, podcast based around said city).

I guess it's similar though to the waves and waves of people who create below par music who clearly aren't cut out to be a success in anyway but still take years and years to actually realize it.

My point I guess is that podcasts are poo poo for income for people even with some fame so I don't get why so many people think it can be a thing for them.

I've never listened to a podcast, but like everyone apparently has one.

On twitter and facebook it's just constant "listen to my podcast!" Or when I meet up with old friends they will bring up something they discussed on their podcast expecting that I heard it. It's a very odd thing.

Yeah, many people I know have them. The only people seriously listening are the closest friends and family, and a lot of that is just the whole closeness to that person requirement.

Also, the guy I know who quit and started his own podcast network apparently stopped paying for the website since it's down. He also looks to have stopped his own podcasts.. as the last one on itunes is from November. Oops.

From what I've seen, a podcast should be a way to a means. Carolla has a new show coming out, Scott Aukerman from Comedy Bang Bang got a TV show out of his, Kumail Nanjiani has a TV show coming out. I don't think monetizing a podcast is a reasonable way to go, taking any notoriety you get from a podcast, and turning it into classic media seems to be the way its working. poo poo, look at Chris Hardwich, he's like the Ryan Secrest of alternative comedy.

Awesome. I can only imagine the look on Opie's face when he someday tries to monetize the amazing podcast he's pimped for so long and gets jack poo poo. And then probably gets sued for the trouble.

Lovin' the Lady Di internship. Although I got frustrated with the gang during the Game of Thrones actor interview - they were all asking him about spoilers and whether he knows certain things, or how things are kept from being leaked from the set. If only there were a series of long-form transcriptions of the script that had been in circulation for the past two decades.
