Bonzo posted:Honest question, how is Sirius surviving? That's a good question because I distinctly remember that their initial sales pitch was "no ads" and we all know how that went. With all the podcasts and music and comedy you can basically stream for free I don't see how they're a thing at all anymore either. And anyone who pays for it just to listen to whatever Stern is now just lol.

Also apparently any time you have to renew your sub, if you call and say you're going to cancel because it's too expensive they'll give you insane discounts so no one is paying full price for the service.

Sirius must be running a skeleton crew over there, and they have enough active users through new car sales and existing customers who try to cancel (We'll give you Sirius for $50 a year, minus Stern, of course!) to make it valuable to advertisers. It's pretty amazing considering how much free streaming content is available.

To be fair, pretty much every single company does something similar. The Washington Post wanted to charge me $100 for the year to renew my online subscription and they knocked it down to $29 with basically zero effort on my part. Recruiting new customers is substantially more expensive than retaining existing ones.

Currently running $70 1gb down with unlimited data for 2 years from Comcast of all companies by using the same tactic. Right now I pay like $80 a year for 2 car radios from Sirius by calling in annually to cancel. To be honest outside of music I only listen some to Faction Talk (Bonfire and Sam &Jim). Use to listen to Debatable on Volume (top 5 Tuesday was always fun to listen to while running after work), but Sirius pretty much scrapped the whole channel.

I think Bob Levy is basically Jeffrey Dahmer if he read a joke book. And, ya know, I know that sounds a little harsh, but I love the guy. Ya know, He gets out on the intranet and stalks these women and throws out this web of deceit and sleaziness and hair dye and bad coke, whiskey beer breath, cheap loving target shirts, coupons for Sizzler's 2 for 1 steak on a Wednesday. His $40,000 house just outside of Philly, that somehow has a built-in pool. I have no idea what the gently caress that looks like. His poor child who's being raised by a father who's just not there and a mother who hates being with the Father. The Father is in a basement, it's damp. Clearly doesn't have the proper heat or air conditioning. Somehow he gets over to this disgusting, jizz-drenched, stinky, whiskey-sobbing, computer board and types out "Who's out there? Who's out there in loving Virgin-Creepland that I can try to gently caress with my web of grossness." And eventually, he gets some takers. Some poor women who have a background that's clearly troubling. This girl has father issues. He's clearly a mad Irish drunk. She has dyed black hair. She's goth. She's like the fat, gay guy's son on the Sopranos. She's probably poo poo in the gym shower several times and she tells Levy this on the computer and Levy goes, "Ohh, Ohh, perfect, perfect. What do you like honey? Do you like the Howard Stern Show?" She's like, "Yeah, I like the Howard Stern Show. I'm a stripper, I'd love to get on." "Ohh, I can get you on the Howard Stern Show. How do you wanna get on?" "I dunno, I kinda like big guys." "Perfect, perfect. Say you like fat guys, Artie's a fat gently caress. You know Artie? Say you like fat guys, I'll get you on the show, I'll drive you up there, you give me a handjob. You can say and I'll get you in the studio and I'll get there and there'll be free food and I'll take some free food home to feed my kid who hasn't eaten in a week cause I cashed my check from Chuckles in Mineola to buy coke from the guy on the LIE who sells the oranges. Ya know, I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up. What's your address?" "Oh okay, here's my address." "Okay, okay, how old are ya?" "I'm seventeen." "Say you're twenty, say you're twenty, say you're twenty." And then Levy picks her up and plies her drugs and gets her up here and she's stoned out of her mind. She goes, "I like fat guys! I like fat guys." Howard and Gary fall for it like the suckers that they are and they get her in here and she's in a bikini and I'm giving her my number and Levy's outside getting free crumpets for the family. Strategically, he made this on cupcake Wednesday cause he knew we'd have a lot of food out there, that's free for him stuff in his three-dollar leather jacket pocket. And this is what happened, Jon. You asked me what happened. This is what happened. This is where Jen came from. It's Levy's web of deceit that he throws out to the intranet and comes back with these poor, pale, scared women who belong to whiskey dicks car clubs and bourbon street flophouses and they come in here and pretend they like me, just to get air time, just get to get plugs. It's insulting. I don't like her and I don't like Bob and I'm insulted by the entire show. And the implication that I, because I may be slightly overweight, need to get laid through some sort of fetish contest; this is horrible. I'm dating several women. They're all nice, they're classy, they have jobs, and they're all above twenty years old. And none of them, NONE of them, know Bob Levy.

It also fully kicked off Artie's poo poo talking of the Hack Pack... which was totally fair. They were F list comics touring vaudeville era blue jokes under the label "as heard on Howard Stern."

I feel like even if the actual jokes part of it were terrible, poo poo like beet doing jokes and eating blue cheese out of Blue Iris' rear end would probably be pretty hilarious.

I definitely never did, but I enjoyed the recordings of Beet's and Riley's "comedy" while drunken bros screamed at them. Did Levy ever do the blue cheese thing with Blue Iris, because I always heard that was his finale with some random chick that would agree to it (ie a "Blue Iris type")?

If anyone gets VICE TV, or whatever its called, they have a series called "The Dark Side of Comedy" and did "The Artie Lange Story" It was interesting but nothing anyone who listened to the show wouldnt have known. Doug Goodstein and Tim Sabian gave interviews...clearly the only stern associated people they could get to talk. But really this was just a reason to post the real Artie Lange Story, starting Cataline Turner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axoMkmE5o_A

Of course there are other people it would have been amazing to hear from (Teddy, for example).

I think they did a pretty great job overall on the doco

There's a show on HBO called Winning Time and it's all about the beginning of the Lakers dynasty in the 80's. It has Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabar and Pat Riley. I know it will never happen because the timelines dont match up but it would be great if they covered Magic's late night show anfld Howard relentlessly mocking him.
