The Shannon Burke Show Listening Thread (week of 4/9/2012)

i got an idea, we all flip capt a few bucks and split it like some retarded lottery group. then when radioio hits it rich we can fight about it. We got a fucking deal?

You got yourself a god damned deal.

Can't call from work, all calls are monitored, plus that would never work. I know better than to call in and evoke the wrath of all the ass suckers saying "fuck that guy, I'll buy his EE right now" but when I call their bluff I bet no one really steps up to the pump as Lasker would say. I've tried for this refund since the inital screw job and have gotten nowhere except a few trite platitudes from Spice and nothing but crickets from Bean.

I actually got an e-mail from Bean about the Bubba Raw discount for the EE package. I replied with the necessary info and never heard back. Yeah he's Bubba's buddy/agent, but as IO World Media CEO he needs to go.

you know how I know you're gay? look at this quote

I was on Heroin.

[Lerch]

Tom Bean is the paul bearer of radioio.

[Chob]

Tom Bean is the paul bearer of radioio.

I have no idea where that analogy comes from but the thought makes me laugh.

[Lerch]

What is the Manson parody of this?

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

but as IO World Media CEO he needs to go.

/guidovoice/ Absolutely. After hearing Bubba's 5 year plan I have no faith in anything he says anymore. I get the grooming Spice to take over, but this whole "abbreviated schedule" bullshit will not work, plus he really didn't mention IO much past the next year and a half they are contractually obligated to fufill. I think IO will spudder for the next year and a half and that will be it, just my guess, but who really knows?

[Lerch]

I have no idea where that analogy comes from but the thought makes me laugh.

just a mental picture. I dunno.

Instead of stock they should have made replica wrestling straps. Nobody would give that shit back.

[Chob]

What is the Manson parody of this?

Just Dumped Prick.

but this whole "abbreviated schedule" bullshit will not work

Yeah. He doesn't have the pull yet to make that happen. Also it irritates me that his idea of moving on is leaving his name on the show while dumping the hosting burden on Spice.

The concept of a show bearing someone's name not featuring that person is fucking retarded.

Yeah, you could tell Spice wanted none of that shit (kinda like his restaurant as well). Sounded like Spice wants to actually do a show when Bubba retires and not rely on tired old bits and parodies to fill the time and carry the day.

[Lerch]

Hey Spice is doing great as PD, he doesn't need to host a damn thing except Happy Hour. The best and least homage they could pay was to leave it bubba army radio.

but Bubba will never see it that way unfortunately.

[Chob]

Let me be clear. I don't think radioIO is going anywhere as a company. If anything some larger streaming media company will gobble them up. They've somehow survived a decade not turning a profit. I also think Bubba will stay on at least until the end of his FM contract.

I have the feeling Howard is just paying Bubba lip service and won't end up doing shit in regards to internet radio. Except maybe selling the rights to air his old shows. Stern on IO would be a good thing for the company, but I don't think it's likely.
