-Atom- posted:According to Twitter, it seemed like Kevin Smith didn't even try to book himself until pretty late anyway. Howard mentioned that: He said Kevin boycotted the show for seven years, then asked if he could come in on Wednesday, with three days notice. Howard said they were already "booked up" with Jim Breuer.

Howard mentioned that Ron Howard was just in. He said Ron was different because people also know him as Opie and from Happy Days. That, and he also happened to direct some huge films that made millions and millions of dollars like Beautiful Mind. He also mentioned having James Cameron in who "you know, directed Terminator and Avatar". He said no one really knows who Kevin Smith is, and one of his biggest filmsis Clerks which is more of a cult film and came out in 1994. I'm not agreeing with Howard... this is just what he said.

Moniker posted:I don't like the fact that he'll probably never be mentioned again. Howard is not honest with his audience and it bothers me. Howard's never really been honest with his audience. Not even with when he's going on a vacation break. I remember being really disappointed when I first realized what a hypocrite he is. It wouldn't bother me as much if he didn't claim otherwise. I could care less about Mike Walker and I'm actually glad he's not on anymore, but it's bullshit he'll probably never be mentioned again. But this is the way it always seems to be. No mention of Artie when he left. No mention of KC when he left. Granted, some of the stuff may have been sensitive at the time, but he could have said something to the audience, without revealing too much. Instead, it's like it never existed. digital penitence fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Feb 11, 2011 |

At least we can be comforted by the thought that when he goes to three days a week, the show will be so much better for it. They’ll all be able to concentrate all their best efforts and distill them into just three days. Gary will book some great guests, and Richard & Sal’s skits won’t be overplayed. Yeah, that’s the ticket! Right? Awww, who am I kidding? What do you think the chances are that he’ll even mention taking the show down to three days a week? Or if he does mention it, it’ll probably be because Eric from Hoboken brings it up: They talk about it for three minutes and it’s never again discussed.

I've noticed for a while that people are really split when it comes to Artie's "Guy Who Laughs At Everything". Kind of like last week's episode of The Office. They either love or hate it.

It was embarrassing that Howard was only really interested in SNL and 20+ year old movies like Stripes, Groundhogs Day and Ghostbusters. How about something recent like Zombieland? I would have liked to have heard Murray talk about playing (and making fun of) himself.

I was honestly a bit surprised that he announced he'll be moving to a 3-day week. 1. That he announced it at all. 2. I had started thinking his move to a 4-hour show was because he was angry he didn't get a 3-day week like he wanted. Cutting out 4 hours a week (essentially another show) seemed to me like his "gently caress you" to Sirius for not getting what he wanted.

Same here. The fact that Artie's chair is still empty (put ANYONE in there!) and all the ads (the breaks are over twice as long with the prank calls & song bumpers) really make it difficult for me to enjoy the show. It's become mostly just been background noise for me at work for the past year and a half. If I didn't already have a lifetime membership, I would have either already canceled or be planning to soon.

FogHelmut posted:I don't believe any of this. I didn't believe one word of it either, and found the whole thing incredibly annoying. I don't know if they came up with the idea themselves or with Howard, but either way it sounded like Howard knew it wasn't real from the questions he was(n't) asking, but kept going with it because he thought it was good radio. They just wanted more airtime. Not only that, but their stories kept changing. They both just kept spouting whatever shocking thing they could think of. "Yeah, we had sex." "No we're not in a relationship." "Yes, it's serious, we're going to get MARRIED!"

FogHelmut posted:Does anyone keep track of the daily commercial breaks and lengths anymore? There's been a break at 7:00, 7:30, and 8:00 so far. I kept track of the commercials today: 6:57:53 - 7:06:29 (8m 36s) (missed what they were hawking) 8:17:40 - 8:29:52 (12m 12s) Adam & Eve, Cheetah Energy Drink, I Hate Steven Singer 8:44:26 - 8:57:14 (12m 48s) Legal Zoom, End of America 13, Beezid, Cougar Life, Identity Guard 9:40:47 - 9:46:32 (5m 45s) American Bullion Gold, Loaded Questions, Hannah, Identity Guard, Bud Light 9:51:21 - 9:52:41 (LIVE READ) (1m 20s) Cheetah Power Energy Drink 10:03:56 - 10:04:35 (LIVE READ) (39s) Show ended at 10:10:40 Note that I'm counting the skits and songs that they play leading into and out of the commercials as part of the breaks. I might be off slightly on the first commercial break, because I missed the beginning of it and had to catch it from the West Coast Feed. I think it should actually be closer to a 12m break like the others, but oh well. So that's a total of 41m 20s worth of commercials/breaks during today's show.

Kelly posted:The Internet sub is only $2.99....it's not $12 unless they changed it recently. It's both. It's an extra $2.99 for internet if you have already have a "qualifying subscription package". If you want to only have internet, it's the same as having a radio: $12.95/month. They won't give it to you separately. I paid for two lifetime subscriptions. They don't need any more money from me, even if it's only $2.99/month. They're really doing themselves a disservice by alienating and pissing off the early adopters who supported them early on. I had nothing but good things to say about them six years ago, but not so much anymore.

Having Artie in the studio for the Octomom interview could have made it less of a complete waste of time. This is so true. There would have been no hesitation from Artie... and it could have made a harrible interview amazing.
