AAR and the Franken Show

this is really annoying me: they seem to have to cut short everybody who calls into the show, INCLUDING FRANKEN CALLING IN FROM IRAQ.

:wtf:

i think i'm beginning to really hate that show; Randi's much better radio.

1. It's probably where they get their most advertising revenue

There are a lot of ads, true. But at least they are better ads than on some of the later shows.

2. yeah - gotta pay the bills...

but, the cut-offs are so abrupt and poorly segued. Not as smooth as Stern, and there is a lot of $$ on the line there.

4. its not just now and him

Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 02:41 PM by RPM

every damn day Catherine is like "OK we have 10 minutes for this segment"... and then they cut the guest off.

It's an everyday thing.

nothing personal, but, you're excused

On Edit - he just dropped as soon as i posted this - how long a delay is interet as opposed to radio? (3 minutes between your post and this update)

6. Do we need one of these fucking threads EVERY DAY???

Franken just signed a new contract for the next few years, so he's going to be around for a while. Deal with it. If you don't like his show, don't listen to it!

9. I just don't understand why people here seem to love listening

to radio shows that they don't like, and then let everybody here know that they're suffering through something that they don't like every day. Change the channel already.

13. I was just noting that I don't think it had been even 24 hours

Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 03:05 PM by high density

since the last "I hate the AL FRANKEN SHOW!! STOP IT PLEASE, my ears are bleeding!" thread.

(By the way, from the title of the thread I didn't know that this was going to be yet another "Franken sucks" thread, or else I probably would have ignored it.)

12. If you don't like Al, why don't you go listen to Limbaugh

or Hannity? It's the local stations that cut in and maybe it's not that smooth all the time.

14. ahhh, the small matter of content.

Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 03:05 PM by RPM

Franken: Filet Mignon on a paper plate
The other guys: Spam on fine china.

I'll take the steak, despite the plate

16. god - i knew i would get it for that...

thought about saying cat food, but i knew a cat person would jump on me
thought about haggis, but figured a scot would jump on me
thought about lutefisk, figured a swede would get on me
went with spam - and you got on me.

OK - lets make it better - what don't you like, thats the food we'll use. I'll even go back and edit the post, if you hurry :-)

18. fucking cat people are the worst

blah blah blah even though my cat jumps on the counter after digging around in a box of its piss and shit, I know that cats are clean animals. And don't you say otherwise. Just because my entire house reeks of cats doesn't mean that cats are stinky blah blah blah

19. If you do not like Als show

listen to Thom Hartmann who is on at exactly the same time - and he is great.

Today is even better as we have 7 hours of Thom, his own 3 hours and 4 hours as a replac3ement for Randi, which is now on!!
