Free FM's first day

[Cowdisease]

I think it might be, actually.

Yeah, it's still on. Dr. Drew apparently has guest co-hosts now that Adam is gone. Rob Schneider (of The Stapler fame) will be on tonight, according to the official website.

[stormy]

I'm listening to Adam's show now, It's ok. Adam is funny, but he has three other people with him and they don't seem to have any personality. They sound really young, and sound like they don't know what they're doing. They may get better as time goes on and they find thier onair roles. No one but adam has made a funny joke yet, and this includes guest Zach Gilafanakis(sp?).

I'm glad Adam's still on the radio, but all this typical morning show shit is getting in the way and driving me nuts.

Yeah, I was talking to a friend who listened to most of Roth's show this morning and he confirmed that Dildo Dave drifted in and out of over a million random topics and still managed to babble off-topic while doing so. And the idiot interviewed his Uncle for about an hour about WW2. His UNCLE. For an HOUR. What an amazing guest to make an impact on your first show with! Maybe tomorrow Dave'll interview his fucking milkman or the guy that delivers his pizza.

this morning was even worse, again don't ask me why but I tried to listen to him again, (there is nothing else on the radio at that hour) so I turn it on to hear some caller ask dave if he would rather by american or japanese cars, which lead to dave talking about downloading music how that was wrong and evil and stealing, about how it should be a law that ever person in america has to learn spanish (I think he says shit to just try and anger people) some other nonsensical shit and then says so I ask you to answer this question for me which is better for america to buy american or japanese cars, I just couldnt believe the sheer annoyance in it so I put on a mix cd instead

fucking horrible horrible horrible talk radio

They got switched to 7-11, right?

yes they did

Heh heh.

The dude only has an hour show each day (2-3, I think). WTF is up with that?

he's too busy with his daught Moxy Crimefighter and teaching her to fight crime that he can only come in for an hour a day

and Ive listened to the radio chick and while the show isn't bad it isnt exactly good either

I don't know nothing stands out about it, the reason I like the Booker show is cause Booker, Nick, Brad, Danyi, and Jill all have some fucking personality to them, the people on the Radio Chick ehhh seem pretty boring

[Rumpy]

I was thinking about this, and this is probably all Penn's doing. I don't know if anyone has read up on it, but they have an unreleased Sega CD game called Penn & Teller: Smoke & Mirrors.

The mistakes on the air make sense when the game features Desert Bus: where you drive from Los Angeles to Arizona at a constant 45 mph. It's based on a real stretch of road - pretty much straight, and nothing to see along the way. You cannot pause the game at all, if you veer off the road at any point, you lose, and the bus has a slight misalignment to the right, so you can't just put the controller down. It plays in real time, so it takes 6 hours to complete this part of the game. When you finish it, you get one point.

Or how about in any other part of the game, when you pause the game, you're stuck watching a 5 minute video of Penn & Teller eating pizza before you can unpause it.

So I expect today's show to be even worse.

Wasn't that game released? I saw magazine reviews for it back in the day. That bus section was a real time drive from some place to Las Vegas. It took more than 6 hours I think. There were a few other things on there that were like jokes to play on people. Like one was rigged so that player 2 could never win or something. Really weird idea for a game.

Also, the radio chick fucking sucks. Do the right thing and get sat radio!

[Psx]

Wow I'm downloading this game right now and you got me all excited, god bless google and bittorrent

[Revoltor]

Or how about in any other part of the game, when you pause the game, you're stuck watching a 5 minute video of Penn & Teller eating pizza before you can unpause it.

.

I dunno. This game sounds pretty fucking cool.

[innova]

We got the Junkies in the Morning, Ed Norris til 2, Penn til 3, Don and Mike til 7, then a shell of what used to be WHFS.

yeah i feel your pain.....fyi radio chick has failed twice in new york, how she got hired again....who knows......yeah after the death of hfs broadcast radio is dead, even free FM has 20min of commercials, i will pay for 12 bucks a month for unedited pretty close to commercial free. take o&a for example, yeah they have commercials, but they are less than 10 min and thats after an hour and a half straight with no breaks......

I listened to Penn's show today, it was pretty decent. Roth still sucks and Radio Chick, as Shin John said, is boring. Booker and his crew are still entertaining, though.

The problem seems that, since they're all talk, they all have the same shthick. They all discuss the news. I've heard them making fun of the miners that got killed on every Free FM show today. When they run out of news, they just babble amongst themselves and when that dries up, they take a call or two.

They really should have just found someone decent to replace Stern and kept it all music otherwise. They killed themselves doing this talk radio shit. As someone in this thread said, when talk radio is good, it's good, but when it's bad, nothing will make someone switch stations faster.

Nah, it never made it out the door. I'm sure the non-game and player abusing portions of the game kept it from getting the final approval. There is a torrent out there for it (I've been trying to get it, but BT keeps killing my net connection after a while... any idea why?). I want to try it, it sounds fun, even if just for a little while, and the cost of a CD.

And that's it - from Arizona to Las Vegas. The ideas in the game crack me up... and that's why I think Penn's first show was how it was - f'ing with the audience.

There are more sections to the game too. A good write up is in the forums on Digital Press in the Prototype Central forum, as well as the torrent link (I think).

Back on topic, good to hear Booker is in usual form. Hopefully Howard will do what he can, and pick him up for afternoons on Howard 101. My friend said the 'Radio Chick' was passable.
