Dovid turning the screws

[BenDovid]

Actually, my math was wrong. They got 3.4 of men/women 18-34. We now need the percentage of men/women 18-34 and apply 3.4 to that number and not 3.4 to the total pop. Again, I'll use 23% of the population as being in the 18-34 demo.

23% of 15Mil = 3,450,000. They got 3.4% of that listenership in that demo. That's 117,000 men and women 18-34 based on 15 million potential listeners.

Both you and I forgot to account for the actual percentage of men and women 18-34 so you got 700K and I got 500K. 117,000 is the correct figure.

117,000 is the correct figure.

The broadcasting booths had WOODEN DOORS!!!

 

[Stetten's Long Thumbers]

A bitter angry bartending suicidal loser jew revealing hardcore insider information like no matter what market O&A were in they always had a constant 'six million' listeners. "They only had 10K listeners at most". Yet XM and Sirius paid them like they had millions right up until their final contract and paid for O&J like it would be just as popular. Put your feet up on another desk. Or better yet wipe the bar down, you tool.

They did have millions of listeners when Anthony was fired. Same with Stern during his first Sirius contract at least (now he has to be under 500K per week). Despite both of them having millions of listeners their only sponsors on both shows were like penis creams, cheat-on-your-wife dating websites, cash for gold, and other crap. Rush Limbaugh had the exact same problem. Huge amount of listeners but could not attract any sponsors outside of 'invest in silver coins' scams. Radio was always a wasteland of mass produced commercials.

Sports talk and programs have the same exact issue now. They get millions of viewers each week. Stuff like NFL talk shows or podcasts or F1 or soccer can do insane numbers. Yet the only sponsors are betting websites. The people who manage these talk shows still prefer to run them into the ground. You look at the advertisements in the UFC octagon for example and they are the worst companies. Stuff like crypto scams, off brand alcohol, dude wipes for wiping your ass, and other trash and UFC is a massive multi-billion dollar company.

@BenDovid What was Ants problem with Steve C. after he was fired? Were they sharing Vietnamese Painkillers?

 

[lowend73]

I find this believable because if you listen to this he calls you a miserable fuck, asshole and "fuck him". You hurt him pretty bad so I gotta admit that's one point for Danny.

It’s always someone else’s responsibility with him. What a socially awkward creep

 

[lowend73]

Shit, I forgot to ask

What was the deal with the stolen $ at a party? Basically, did Anthony say something first, or did he run to KtC to take care of his business?

Did he actually fuck that Penthouse Pet? He is stomach churning, did he pay for the pussy?

I remember hearing that one time he was perving out on some girl and her dad was there? KtC ram interference . But he’s a slimy fuck to let that shit go on

Sounds like you got out at the right time

 

[Sue Lightning]

You also mentioned here at around the 40 minute mark Steve and you cut ties. It’s vague but is about Steve lying for you or something. Expand on this maybe?

Not trying to sound like a tough guy, but i would have gave him a smack. That’s how you deal with bitches

We had a dry erase board at CBS which never got used. This was around the time Steve started putting the weight back on but never adjusted his shirt size so you could always see the very bottom of his stomach. I used the whiteboard to keep everybody updated as to what days Steve wore a too-small shirt. One day I wrote in the day's box "Steve thinks Foundry is viable income solution without O&A" and suddenly I was suspended for a week. Over vacation. With pay. Steve was high off his face on Indian xanax most of the time and most of the time spent at the office was working on Foundry.

Are you talking about when my middle school chum tried to rob him?

Do you ever regret how you treated Steve C knowing what he eventually did to himself? Not in a "man I could have saved him way", but just as a human being? It must have been uncomfortable working with a guy you refused to speak to.

Also, what was the reason for Nana's falling out with Steve. He mentioned in that above clip that he used to be good friends with him until something happened. Was it the Foundry keeping O&A's content thing?

Sigh. It’s a tough one man. Listening to that Pat Duffy interview where he insinuates Sam had a part in Steve C committing suicide is disgusting. Fat boy didn’t hook himself up to a rope thinking of that chimp nigger going “Nyehehehehe”.

I can understand why Danny and Steve had a problem. To Steve, Danny was an annoying little cunt. To Danny, Steve C was going to HR and threatening to punch employees in the face. I would probably hate my boss if he was raising fists at me too, no matter if i “antagonized” him or not. Sam definitely deserved to be punched in the throat by Steve though.

Also, what was the reason for Nana's falling out with Steve. He mentioned in that above clip that he used to be good friends with him until something happened. Was it the Foundry keeping O&A's content thing?

Yeah, I’d like this one answered if Daniel has any insight. Its so goddamn vague the way Ant speaks about it and he doesn’t even have a nice thing to say after Steve’s death. It isn’t work related because we all know Ant could give a fuck about the “job” part of Radio.

Which leads me to believe Steve stopped getting Indian Xanax for Ant or some other dumb shit. Or he found out about the pedophilia. Or the faggotry. Take your pick.

No. Steve wasn't tortured by anyone. I don't feel guilty because we didn't get a long at work. Too many people believe he did what he did because of show treatment. That's just not the case. He was a drug addict with serious depression. He lost his sister to drugs at an early age. FoundryMusic paid the vast majority of his bills. He had his condo, plus a second he was renting out. When O&A asked for the content back, he demanded cash. That kind of sealed his fate. Sure the bandwidth was expensive but he was profiting big after all was said and done. I think he Produced Bonaduce for a few months before that show was gone too. Then he took a part-time air gig in Scranton PA. Steve also had long time identity issues. Was he a fat guy? A body builder? Flame clothes guy? Guy Fieri hair? He was always trying to change himself. All this stuff contributed I'm sure. So, go from having two condos to renting a Scranton apartment in the span of year. Plus now you have a wife and a kid.

I don't think there was ever a falling in. Steve was never social with the guys. Steve didn't hang out with Opie. Also, O&A would show up 530am and leave the second the show was over. The entirety of their relationship with Steve was work. Steve wasn't anybody's friend. Just a co-worker.

To be clear, I had a problem with Steve because there was too much Foundry work going on and there was too much empty-headedness. He was a good production guy. Audio production. That's what got him hired. He wasn't a great Executive Producer and wasn't exactly overflowing with show prep and ideas. I was 100% for the show back then so it pissed me off seeing my teammate not give any fucks for the on-air product as long as somebody clicked on a porn DVD link on his website. Anthony didn't need Steve C for Xanax, he had Dr. Steve for all that. There were instances on-air where Anthony mentions wanting to leave on time because he had to "go to New Jersey" to pick up a prescription. Dr. Steve couldn't write in NY so he'd call Anthony's benzos into NJ.


tldr; YouTube and Roland made Steve obsolete.

On a scale of Adam Libby to Yay-yay, how retarded was Melissa Stetten?

Hey @BenDovid, love you, love the show. Who was the real SXM 202 Fuchitive? Was it Bobo's friend?

Retarded enough to let this picture get taken.

Everytime I hear about that party where your buddy tried to rob Anthony always is hilarious.

Did he usually have alot of cops over at his place?

Just Keith and then that Mike kid started glomming onto Big A and eventually started coming over on his own.

He wouldn’t respond and then he’d go on his show to shit all over Danny.
