a vary good morning show on the radio

[MichaelRW]

I'm just concerned about the misspelling of "very" in this topic title. I'm very concerned about the way people vary the spelling of words.

Glad you mentioned that. It gives me the opportunity to complain about those that don't know the difference between there, their and they're. Also then and than.

on Monday Howard was playing an interview he did right after he got fired. He was saying that he's now a church going christian and that he wants to do "political shatire [sic]" like Rush Limbaugh, whom he apparently admires now. Go figure. 

So much for being the "King of Free Media"

I did not see Phil Hendrie mentioned. His was the funniest show I have ever listened to.

this tred isn't bout politics but go Busch

Can someone interpret the above for me? What does "tred" mean and what does beer have to do with politics?

I think they suck. I found them to be quite boring.  They were on 96 rock here in Atlanta a few years ago. As did many others , I stopped listening. I used to call the show, the   "Bob the Knob show"

that guy was/is pretty funny. Is he still on though? I thought his show got cancelled or he got fired.

I hate most of everything on the radio these days.  It's become McRadio since the FCC let a couple of big brands buy out virtually all the stations.  This radio situation isn't pleasing any of the listeners, it's just making commercial sh*t popular by controlling listeners' options & eliminating all their better choices. 


. . . And then when everyone switches to satellite radio and traditional free radio loses all its market share, the corporations in control will act surprised.
 

So we'll all be paying monthly fees.  We'll tell ourselves we're paying to get "better" radio, but half the reason we get out our wallets will be to control the amount of ads we have to sit through and to try to get the kind of decent radio that we were originally getting for free.  (Just like with free TV, and cable, and premium channels, and the ever-increasing infomercials.  It's pretty hilarious that there are actually supposed to be federal laws limiting the number of ads per hour that TV channels can run.)


Man, life gets more expensive all the time, doesn't it?

how can your hair hurt

It's a medical condition that might be genetic, but hasn't been determined yet. How long is your  hair?

I agree with most of what you're saying except for the part where you say we're paying for decent radio that we were originally getting for free. The thing I like about satellite is that on any given day, I can tune to the Rolling Stones station and they'll be playing some deep cuts or bootlegs that I have never heard before, turn to the country station and hear David Allan Coe's underground stuff, and then turn to the metal station and hear some hardcore Icead Earth or Napalm Death shit - stuff that terrestrial radio (for a variety of reasons) never has and never would touch with a ten foot stick. Subscription fee = no commercials. No commercials = no pressure to stick to a certain format or censor content in order to appeal to certain demographics. And that's why satellite radio is far superior.

I can't even stand to listen to regular radio nowadays with all the commercials and the same songs played over and over again. That's expected of Top 40 radio...but how many times can a human being hear "reeling in the years" or "go your own way" on the classic radio stations before going insane?

Sunburn can be nasty, but I can't imagine having the top of my head baked to a crisp. Ever have someone sneak up behind you with a magnifying glass & burn little spots on top while you slept? 

What about being creative?

I believe Phil retired. I have never heard a show like his, ever. It takes alot of talent to do what he did, and many gullible people as well.

This summed it up quite nicely.  I always listened for the guests.

We get Bob and Tom out here as well.  I enjoy their programming.  I used to enjoy Howard as well.  But he isn't on free radio and I am too cheap to pay for it.  I am not always in the mood for a morning show, so i tend to flip around.  Bob and Tom are humorous at times and I enjoy their programing when I listen to it.  BTW I think Chick is a huge part of the show. 

We have another station, TK99 that has Gomez and Dave on.  This is just a local radio show and like Bob and Tom they pretty funny most of the time.  It is nice to have skits and jokes with events you are familiar about.  With two decent morning shows in my area (central new york) you can usually find something worth listening too.  However we have another morning show which pretends to be local but are syndicated as well, Beener and Ken.  They are just not funny.  If anyone is a Howard rip off it is them.  I heard a rumor they are not even in the same city as each other for most broadcasts.  I am waiting to see how much longer they last.

Now for a good night show, Alice Cooper Nights is the best.    If you get it in your area, you can't go wrong.  It is simply awesome for those long nights in the garage; you can set the dial and leave it.  And it is clean too, so your kids can listen as well.

Do you mean Kevin and Bean? They were an L.A. show and got syndicated a few years ago. One of them does the show in L.A. and the other does it from his farm in Washington state. They're pretty blatant Howard rip-offs too.
