Rant - Anybody Else Had it with the Beth Plugs?
- Thread starter Neigh
- Start date
Disagree. There's a difference between a fan complaining about a bit and a fan telling Howard how to run the show. (Howard tried that lawyer's trick when Julia Roberts balked about signing the KROK release. Howard yelled that she was trying to run his show. Not close. She just didn't want to be a part of endless future bits.) In the case of the Bubba complaint, the caller was complaining about a reduction in service. Maybe my memory is fogged, but I don't think the old Howard would have told a fan to stop listening if the fan complained about a particular bit or a reduction in service.
Do you think the fan complaining about the Bubba FM simulcasts was a troll? Do you think the complaining mailman on the WUS (the guy with two radios and a collection of all the Howard products) was a troll? Even Howard conceded those guys were fans who could not stop listening.
He used to "ban" people from listening when they called up with too many annoying complaints. Back then he couldn't tell them to fuck off.
Yep - "You do not DESERVE ME!! You are no longer allowed to listen to me!! You will listen to Scott Shannon from now on. See if you like that morning zoo!!!"
1) No.
2) No.
However, I do think a lot of so-called "fans" here are. When there's no spark from them except Howard-bashing, it would seem to indicate that.
I laugh everytime I see the title of this thread prefaced with "Rant". Was that supposed to serve as some sort of "caution, be forewarned!"? Like anyone cares.
Just kidding with you though. That was some rant. I do hope you will keep them coming.

Like a preface of "Rant" means the thread is any different than any other. You could put "Rant" in front of 90% of the threads, and if not true in the first post, it'll probably be true in a couple pages.

Now this is a rant.
It means don't take it too seriously and also, don't open the thread if you don't like complainers.
Without naming names and accusing anyone of trolldom, in your opinion, how many trolls post regularly??
Rants never end in a
.They end in :bigahh: or :soapbox: or :wah:.
In all honesty, you could put a
on 95% of my posts (and I often do), but people still think I'm ranting. Oh well, not my fault. 4 (well, down to 3 lately). Plus a couple O&A fans who stumble in here out of the empty desert of the Virus forum, and are probably just looking for water.
Counting? When the f*** did I fall back into math class!?!
You should have asked me math questions 11 years ago. I aced Calculus AP in high school. Now, not only have I forgotten calculus, anything beyond simple algebra is beyond me. For some reason, algebra seems more like puzzles to me instead of math. It's probably why I still retain some skills in that area.
What the f*** was the subject? Man, my mind sure loses footing more often these days. :nana:
:clueless:
I just was just about to start a Beth thread.
Even in it's heyday, the show was never perfect, but lately the flaws are making it really hard to take and this Beth stuff in general is number one! I was going to ask the question does anyone like Beth at all? I mean, "Show In the Hall", booking lame guests, horrible bookings on talk shows (BTW, any chance they are using her ONLY because she is Beth Stern and not because she has any actual talent as a personality...can't be). For the last few years, without a doubt Howard has been screening the calls, but I can't imagine NOBODY ever calls or emails about hating the Bethination of the show. She might make Howard (which ironically makes the show not so happy) but can she really be making the fans happy too?

Thanks for breaking it down!
At least Deidra wrote a book (read: she is literate).
And that affects you how? You could either debate/argue with them or ignore them. It's really not that hard.
I welcome all opinions on Internet forums, including O&A fags who have something to say about Stern and the biggest Stern sycophants who listens to no other radio show.
As long as people aren't hunting each other down and sending death threats I don't care what they say as long as they say it.
