Howard getting fired up about Sirius can only be a good thing. I really hope his relationship with the company falls apart. Part of what has been missing for much of the Sirius years has been 'The big evil entity' (NBC, FCC, CBS) that keeps Howard angry and energetic.

For serious - I probably shouldn't have been shocked that Howard didn't know the plot of Animal House. But then, as Kevin was explaining about the different casts for the frat houses, Howard was just not understanding. Did anyone hear Robin joke with Kevin about a love child, being away from Kyra so much? Funny thing about that: January Jones is pregnant, and won't say who the father is. It's been widely reported that it's one of the married men in the X-Men cast from this movie, which she is in also. Kt88 posted:Howard getting fired up about Sirius can only be a good thing.

He's just kind of coasting along without anything to focus on except organizing his photos which I think harms the show.

Keep in mind, this is my opinion and I'm in no way trying to start poo poo. That being said, in a city like New York, I'd guess that cars, trucks and busses contribute far more pollution than smokers do. Do you think it's an affront to your Constitutional rights like that caller yesterday?

Butthole Prince posted:Do you think it's an affront to your Constitutional rights like that caller yesterday? That's really not the issue. It's just howard being a loving massive hypocrite again. He's ok with the government ruling on taste...when it's against his tastes. People not happy with the very reasonable bans on indoor smoking now cry because gee "why are all these people standing outside smoking". They don't like it and find it in bad taste and want it banned. What parallel can we draw to howards career out of that?

To be clear, they haven't banned ALL outdoor smoking in NYC, just in public places where people congregate (and eat). The specific places are marked. I agree that this is slightly draconian, but at the same time, if you live in a huge, crowded city, you have to make accommodations for your fellow citizens. if you want unrestricted outdoor smoking, move out to the burbs.

I use to live in NYC and smoked and would never think about lighting up while sitting around people who obviously dont smoke, regardless of being outside. However, I dont see an issue with walking around one of the parks and having a smoke. Personally I think the larger issue with smoking in the city is the dozens of people who crowd the doors to the building having their smokes.

Peter North posted:Someone at SFN found court documents for Howard's suit. VERY loving interesting! It's pretty obvious that it's going to come down to whether the definition of "Sirius Subscriber" means XM Subscribers. My gut says no. I think of XM and Sirius as two separate products, even if owned by the same company. For example, you can't get MLB games on Sirius and you can't get both broadcasts of the football games on XM. Because it's just flat out not possible to get these things on the opposing service, I think they're separate things.

The "Production Expenses" section on page 6 is interesting. I wonder who gets to decide how that "production expense" budget is allocated. It seems like it suggests Stern would, an thus Stern really does influence what his people are paid.

Interestingly, Howard gets a cut of advertising revenue. This isn't news, I know...but seeing it in black and white annoys me. He's been taking a lot more commercial breaks in the last couple years. Also, on the page with the XM merger info, there is a declaration that the HSS once available to the other service will see Howard getting money for that. So... - He gets money if they merge since his programs will be available to a new audience. - These people on the other service must subscribe to the Best of Sirius in order to hear him. Does he get a cut of these subs as part of his performance incentives? He could get paid twice on those subs. burmart posted:The "Production Expenses" section on page 6 is interesting.

I would think the producers of the show, his media company. They explicitly say 112 Media will produce it. So he would be directly responsible for the amount of money paid out to production.

I'm wondering if this will just settle out of court because I think Sirius will be forced to define what they consider a subscriber. Like someone said, they were counting unsold cars at one point. This could also hurt their idea of the actual number of listeners to the HSS. At one point didn't they consider that 1 radio equaled three people that listened to the show?

I highly doubt that Sirius will let this go to trial for the reason above.

Howard actually needed a refresher on Animal House of all movies this morning. Come on, man! And that KOAB call is pretty cool, too bad he didn't mention how his daddy still gives him money or ask Rush what label shirt he was wearing. Rush actually seemed flummoxed by the call, so good on King for that anyway. edit: I've been meaning to ask in here, is there some place with a collection of the show's drops readily available for download?

^^^^ I had to drive through Detroit last week and while flipping stations, found that WWWW is still country. Korak posted:This is probably correct. Howard helps allocate how much total money is spent on producing the show, which includes salaries, but I don't think he individually works out contracts with people. He could if he wanted to take a more active role in getting his staff more money. Everyone has a contract with or is employed by Sirius. Can you imagine if Howard was in charge of salaries? Sal would never leave the guy alone and follow him around 24/7 about why he needs more money. I don't feel sorry for anyone that works there. Howard is nearly 60 years old, has been talking retirement for years, and now works 2 days a week. If they can't see the writing on the wall and start to look for a better job it's their own fault. Yes everyone there loves what they are doing and it's a low paying job. Radio has always been (at least in the last 10 years) a lovely paying job unless you are on air talent or a producer for a syndicated show.

And then Stern summarizes the birth of FOX News and how it's "genius and admirable," because if there's one thing that has never been tried before it's a controlled and manipulated press! Who am I kidding, the best person to talk to about the news is Ben Stern.

I make mid 40s per year (before taxes) and I live in an area with a high cost of living, though not as high as NYC. I'm *reasonably* comfortable but I'll never be able to afford a house here, I might be able to afford a small condo some day. I can't imagine how fuckin hard it must be for JD to get by. And with his personality, how the gently caress is he ever going to get a job after stern retires? I've got the feeling that the only reason Howard even gave him a job in the first place was because he probably thought "hey this guy is hosed, if I give him a job then I can totally gently caress with him, and he'll even make me look normal. scapulataf fucked around with this message at 22:35 on May 26, 2011 |

A lot of people talk take-home in informal settings so I'd probably wager JD makes $60K-70K before taxes. It's either his take-home is $40K in which case he isn't broke in NYC but certainly not living the good life or he makes $40K before taxes in which case that $24K is his take-home and he's freaking dirt poor in that city. I imagine, given his descriptions of the money he's spent on cam whores, that it's the former and his salary is nowhere near as bad as some think. With $24K in NYC he's barely going to have enough for basic necessities and whatnot, no way he'd have all this disposable income lying around to spend on his various fetishes.

Jesus loving Christ. I wouldn't want to have to survive in New York on that, I don't know how it's possible. Howard gets $80,000,000 a year (that's what I heard, correct me if I'm wrong), how does he sleep at night. I mean yeah he built his career over a 25 or 30 year period but it's his loving support guys like JD and Sal and Richard and the other nood-nicks who loving help make the show great. gently caress em I hope he doesn't get the extra money from XM or Sirius.

This is a false equivalence. And the guy didn't have a valid point. He tried to say that the public ban on smoking was unconstitutional because it limited his freedom.

Yeah, the issue was the ridiculous attitude the caller had, where his "freedom" to respond to his habit's urges wherever he was unable to quell his childlike impulses was more important than the freedom non-smokers had to remain smoke-free in public gathering areas. Even if citing your ill-formed understanding of the Constitution weren't a retarded tack to take on a "I want to do something" issue, I honestly do not think the document upholds a citizen's desire to inhale carcinogens as a higher form of the quest for life, liberty & happiness over "I want to remain living and I take actions to do so". Note: all uses of 'you' in this statment is the generic, 'you' directed at that caller. I don't think anyone here is really in vast disagreement on the issue, and I don't even have much of a problem with smokers smoking where they want to - I do enjoy trolling constitutional "scholars" however, who learned everything they know about civics from a Marlboro Rewards catalog. Howard hit it on the head with the analogy of "Masturbation is legal, but you can't do it at the mall". I don't think anyone on the un-smoking side of this issue wants to or feels it's reasonable to ban public smoking everywhere, simply in locations that are public gathering spots (such as the doorways to office buildings/restaurants/bars.)
