sedative posted:I'm not defending Sirius or their ridiculous contracts, but look at it this way: they were only getting exclusive content one day a week. Out of 52 Fridays last year I'd be surprised if he was live for more than 35-40 of them. $200,000 isn't really bad for ~35 live shows and a rebroadcast of a terrestrial radio show. He should have taken the money. I can't remember the site, but last week I was reading an article that was trying to do the math on the new Howard contract. Basically it boiled down to - if he did ended up going to 3 shows a week, he would be making just under $500,000 per show or something like $2,800 per minute he was on the air. I haven't done the math to verify the numbers, but assuming it's true, it's kind of funny that Howard would get paid more by 8:00 AM on the first show of his contract than Bubba would get paid for the entire year.

I think Maryann's voice just goes like that when she gets excited that she's on the air and starts yelling. I remember watching a Howard tv segment that she was backstage at where someone was hitting on her. She thanked them in a very quiet, bashful voice and it was kind of cute.

Ransom posted:Anything interesting happen on yesterdays episode of 'old people bitching about cell phones'? Howard mentioned that his new phone is constantly "learning" things about him and configuring itself to anticipate other things he would like, which prompted Robin to blurt out that she is getting worried that computers are getting too smart and that they may take over humans like in Terminator very soon. So apparently Skynet was just a big collection of cookie files.

chiz posted:It can't be, he can't think that and at this point I dont think he gives a gently caress anymore. The resigning was just to squeeze a few more bucks out of his legacy Protip: Howard doesn't care anymore. He only re-signed because he has no other interests besides watching t.v. and playing chess. And he wanted more money because that's how he keeps score with other celebrities so he can believe he's better than them. CrazyAss13 posted:He coined the phrase "Jumped The Shark" and created a website about it that he sold for over $1 million dollars. I remember visiting the Jump the Shark site back in like 1998 and even then I thought it was a lovely designed site, and this was the days of gif plastered AngelFire and GeoCities sites. The thing back then literally just had a beige background with text links to shows with a basic radio button poll listing a few user submitted choices to when you thought a show JTS. That's loving it. Jon Hein might as just well say he won the lottery like Double-A did. It was not by any masterwork on his part.

Howard: I got to thinking today, how does the Sirius satellite get its power anyway? Even if they had filled it with gasoline at launch, eventually it would have run out by now. Someone explain it to me. Robin: You know, I was just thinking the same thing. I mean, I don't think they make extension cords long enough to reach into space. Benjy: Hey Howard, I think they use solar panels to generate the power and- Howard: Stop acting stupid Benjy, everyone knows the sun goes away at night. Let's get Jon Hein in here, he'll know. Jon Hein: Well you see Howard, the first satellite launched was Sputnik back in 1957 by Russia... Howard: Wait, the Russians! You're telling me that other countries besides America have satellites in space? Jon Hein: Yes, Howard. Howard: See, if I was president, the first thing I would do is pull the troops out of Iraq and send them into Russia. Space belongs to America, not these other countries filled with crazy people.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:I think Howard should just go balls to the wall and drop the passive-aggressiveness. Seriously, if he's got a beef with his contract, air it. loving call out Sirius for their bullshit and pay cuts. On the WUS yesterday, someone called in asking why there haven't been any contests or phone games lately. Gary replied that they didn't have sponsor money to play any with. So apparently money is so slim on that 400 million contract that a single loudest fart contest will break the show.

I know that most of the companies that advertise on radio commercials are shady at best, but those ones for Regus stand out to me. The best I can tell, they rent out a floor in an upscale office building, fix up a bunch of offices, and timeshare them out to people who don't need a 24/7 office. On the surface this seems like a decent idea, but when you think about it, would you really want to do business with someone who has to call ahead to make sure an office is available to them before they can meet with you? And then they have to sneak in quick before you get there and place family photos on the desk and diplomas on the wall so it looks like it belongs to them. It just seems like it is setup to cater to fly-by-night operators who need to make quick getaways.

musclecoder posted:Like others have said, they're not. It's a fairly large company with lots of office space. That makes sense. I guess it's just the commercials that make it seem sleazy. Is there some reason radio commercials can't just list the benefits of their service/product? Every commercial has to be a lovely bit or some some guy preaching that he discovered the secret to being rich and is doing you a favor by sharing it with you.

Ribsauce posted:Sirius pays JD and everyone else. Howard can't just give JD 10k more on the backside without having to do something similar for everyone. Think about all the stupid drama that happens over poo poo .0001% as innocent as that. The first time he paid one guy extra everyone else associated with the show in any way would start counting other people's money. There is a Zero Point Zero chance it would turn out in any way but a disaster. Didn't they say that Leno every year gives each of his staff members an extra $1,000 per total number of years that they have worked for him?
