Does anyone use the SiriusXM app? I can't believe how shitty it still is. I called them today and they refunded me $30 for the last three months being garbage since the app was updated. I suggest everyone does the same if they can put up with 20 minutes of their terrible customer service line.
If Howard is out at the end of the year my subscription is done. Can't stand this fucking company.

My subscription was due to renew this month. I called the day before they were gonna charge my credit card (it was like $400 something BS), I called and told them to cancel my service. They upgraded me to the all access package, which ended up being much cheaper and gave me the $30 credit. So it ended up being like around $100 for the next year for both my car and internet, not bad. But yeah I doubt I keep the sub past Howard retiring.

I wonder if the show will improve at all when this season of AGT ends and it'll (presumably) be his soul focus again?

Yeah it's just Russian Roulette of what you pay every year. I've never had a consistent annual charge. But for those who are in the middle of their subscription you can complain about the quality of the app and can argue a credit to your account.
The reality is I don't use my car much anymore and even at $100/year it still is more expensive than things like Spotify, Apple, and Google, with much worse service and technology.

I can't wait to see how focused he'll be on the show when he's doing it from his Florida mansion!

I don't have the app, but I've heard that it crashes noine times per day. And I don't know if it plays well with my Sonos.

How's the audio quality? As good as vinyl?

Constant crashes. Always resets while listening to On Demand. Doesn't hold favorites. Can't buy directly through iTunes. The thing is a piece of shit. They called me back for s survey and I bitched them out again and got $20 more dollars back.

27 million? You're not counting right. Think of all the people carpooling and the families that sit around the radio after dinner.
It's more like 100+ million.
What about people driving past you when your window is down, or walking past your house when you're listening?

This one is too fake for me to enjoy. Much like my turban is dirty. They are best when they keep it believable.

I was thinking the same thing but then I remembered the "why hello there, Leroy" call where the author talks to his own voice is so outrageously fake but yet it still makes me lol even though I've heard it twenty times now.
I don't like the cock/clock one cause it would've been too juvenile for me in high school already.
Nah, c'mon. This is hilarious. I believe this is real. I don't think you guys deal with the general public on a day to day basis. I'd say 60% of the world's population is completely fucking stupid.

Finally caught up again. No idea how anyone can think Howard will renew his contract. The birthday show was one last big event, the staff is winding down, the air time from staff members is almost non existent (where has Richard been?), Robin has pretty much hung it up, and the whack pack basically consists of High Pitch Eric and Hanzi (who openly doesn't like the format f the show). It's sad to see go but the writing is on the wall at this point.

That was funny.
Also, in terms of the history of HS, I can't believe they are trying to take credit for Seinfeld and reality TV because they were the only ones to do innuendo and talk about risqué subjects. Get over yourself.
Howard legitimately believes that stuff. The one I will give him though is The Osbournes TV show. We had them in all the time and was always saying he wished a camera would follow them around.
I think it just depends on the money. He'll be taking a pay cut regardless, so it's just a matter of how much he's willing to take and what they allow on Whalerock or whatever the fuck that things his called.
He's already killed his legacy and become what he used to mock.

It's just hard to imagine that his ego would let him putter out for the last year of his radio broadcasting career. You'd think if it was really all coming to an end, he would have done some big things.
It would be like if Letterman just failed to re-sign a contract instead of announcing a year in advance that he was retiring. It wouldn't make any sense.

Not to mention how fucked up that is to the staff to give them no warning.

*staff secretly and quietly fired and never mentioned again*
To be fair though, it WAS a major plan.

Haven't heard about Whalerock in a long long time. Frankely, I don't remember what it is.
