I know this is now a Howard/Sirius only thread, but since Bubba was part of the old thread I have to ask if anyone has the RadioIO app for iPhone? I installed it but I don't see any Bubba-related link in it. I do have the URL that streams it via Safari, but just wondering if any goons have the app and the Bubba option.

URL for desktop (if it wasn't posted already) http://www.radioio.com/genres/btls/Bubba-Army-Radio-LIVE! .

The multitasking works fine on the iPad, does it not on the phone (it's the same app)?


I can multitask with my iPhone and the app, no problems. But I've been using pocket tunes anyway so I can listen to AM/FM stations from back in Chicago.

Also, if you have a friend with the internet sub, install stream_ON. You can have multiple PCs logged in at one time. Hell, once my last satellite sub expired, I only listen on the web/phone via my sister's account.

It doesn't help that Sirius likes to nickel-and-dime everything under the sun, either. Charging paying subscribers for a web feed is absurd. At least Bubba is getting out while the getting is good.

I know that this is only day two of the radioio situation and it is a repeat of their show from the morning, but so far it's pretty awesome because there have been zero commercials for the entire show.

KoAB just gets more annoying the longer he stays on the line. And his comment about Android being garbage (yet he upgraded to an EVO) with Techno Beaver not chiming in to flaunt his massive gadget knowledge was pretty annoying as well.

As for Ferrall, he's good to listen to at times and he's got balls (didn't he break his ankle while getting in a fight at some airport last year?). Don't forget that he is the reason that the whole Iron Sheik gimmick (that has been run into the ground) was all due to him being on his show a few years ago. I remember driving that day with the show on, and all of a sudden Sheik just went off the deep end. It was so loving hilarious, and Stern has tried to replicate that with minimal success.

Last thread someone mentioned that googling Howard Stern doesn't put his website first and therefore Howard is not the King of All Media.

I immediatley thought that is not Howard's problem, that is Google's problem. I didn't want to post to be my usual bitch self, but today I came across a pair of articles discussing the problems of Google.

I just thought I would share that this is a known problem with Google.

That is an old rear end song by Ned, but hilarious. Did they include the guy that called in to the show to complain about it too? That made it even funnier.

I like how Howard's solution to his belly problem is to jog and diet. How about doing some sit ups? He even has an extra hour every day now to work out.
Sit ups don't make you lose fat in your abdomen, changing body composition is a result of cardio and a reduced caloric intake. All sit ups do is strengthen/enhance the muscles.

How often do you guys think that hecklers try to get on the air? I've only been listening since '06, and I can't really remember anyone successfully getting on (aside from maybe that one guy referring to Beth as Dierdre).

I'm just curious, considering how much poo poo everyone talks about the show here (and even moreso on SFN).

If this is in fact true (it's starting to look like it), what are the chances of Howard going off on his own like Bubba? This all makes sense as to why they didn't want to pay him poo poo and also screwed around with Corolla.

btw Bubba was on fire today calling out that ex-police chief in Tampa, he even made it onto the Drudge for his remarks in the article.

Right now they are replaying an old Bubba show (on radioIO) from when they first started at Sirius. It's amazing to hear how everything was and it really wasn't all that long ago. Also, I didn't know that Voodoo Child as their intro most likely had to do with the fact that this was the song that Hulk Hogan would enter the ring back when he was in the WCW.

from marksfriggin:

Bobo asked when the 3 days a week schedule is coming. Howard said that it's not coming right away but he will be doing a more limited schedule eventually. Howard said right now they're doing the 4 day a week thing and they'll be doing some 4 days and some 3 days a week. Eventually he will cut back to 3 days a week but not for a while. He said that the show is still on a roll and he thinks that the Sirius service is offering people a lot of options. He said they'll be adding more stuff to the two channels too*.

Howard said that they have 30 years of material to play too so this is a good compromise so he didn't have to leave radio. He said he thinks this will be good. He said he can pop in and do shows when he's in the mood.* Howard said he was thinking about doing like one show a week but they asked him to do 3. He said he wanted to keep that connection with the audience. Howard told Bobo that it should be a few months down the road before the 3 day work week comes around.

* :lol::lol::lol:

I couldn't believe it when he just flat out said that as well, what a joke. He's outright making GBS threads on his fans. As much as I've become a fan, it's getting worse and worse. And with Bubba 100% gone from 101, that channel is just unlistenable now. Not to mention Bubba's IO deal, which is just one giant infomercial now.

I don't know if anyone here still follows Bubba, but something happened with him and High Pitch Eric on twitter tonight. They keep going back and forth until Bubba just says he'll make one call to Tim Sabian and Eric will be over with. HPE shut up and apologized. However, given Bubba's rants against SXM lately, how does he think he has any pull?

Also, Bubba's radioIO gig is a joke. So far, they launches the "paid" show a week late, resulting in a free month to all that paid. His commercials are just laced with Tom Bean's gold coin mlm/chicken dip/lovely products (not that the commercials are good on 100/101). All he talks about is that "dropping the tre" poo poo. And then, his bubbaarmy.com site got hacked (then they tried to fix it and it's hacked again).

And to top it all off, IO uses icecasst, so anyone with a little know how can stream his paid content. For free.

While we are on the subject tho. It really seems The BTLS ship is starting to go down. The radioIO stuff is a complete mess, they have staff quitting and are trying to run a new venture that is entirely dependent on having a qualified IT security team. They tried to do this on the cheap and its coming back to haunt them.

I know I have personally sent Spice and Brent emails explaining how because they use Icecast the paid services will never be secured and anyone who has the streaming link can play it.
Kinda bums me out because they all seem like good dudes who just want to put on a good radio show.

The data stream being lost is new since they updated the app. It never happened that I can recall under the old app. Now, it happens at least twice a day.

That's weird because I have had zero problems with the updated app (iPhone) in regard to being signed off (hell, I rarely even drop connection and it will just drop the stream quality and continue playing).

Are you only talking about the iPhone app? If you are talking about the web stream via sirius.com, gently caress that poo poo. Go download XMTuner, it's been solid for me when I am home/not using 3g to stream.
