How are they even in the same market, let alone "competing". :roflmao:

Keep chugging that Rogane jizz.
I don’t think they’re listener based overlap much. I doubt there are many XM subscribers under the age of 30.

My point, that you clearly missed (as usual), is that Stern is an irrelevant aging dinosaur and Rogan is basically the Howard Stern of this generation. Rogan is to Stern is similar to how Lebron James is to Michael Jordan.

Rogan is the Larry King of this generation.

Someone like Milo is the Howard Stern of this generation.

I don't see how the shock-jock never shuts up guy is analogous to the long-form talkshow host guy who is excellent at getting out of his own way when it comes to featuring his guests.

Beg to differ, Stern was one of best interviewers around in the good old days, he is just running out the string now but is still higher on the food chain than Rogan.

LMAO, absolutely not. Rogan is absolutely massive.

But on another note, what the fck has happened on the erBB over the past several months? The majority of right-leaning opinion has always been maximum derp (think gromsdad and surfdog), but these days even people who used to have at least a partial brain are going full fecal.

Is this representative of right wing opinion holders at large, or is there some sort of ocean bacteria that's been infecting the brains of surfers specifically?

Seriously, this place is truly insane. Clown world doesn't even begin to describe it.

You are right, I meant their overall careers.

Meinfallalot went libertarian/conservative, then some sort of libertarian/tradcon mashup. An ideological rigidity thing.

Grapedrink and some of the others, outside of the Woke Derangement Syndrome, still seem okay.

The issue appears to be the extent of the focus on the Woke Derangement Syndrome. You can point out that there's four people in The Squad and forty four in the Freedom Caucus, but to no avail. You can point out the guy who bragged about working with Segregationists won the (D) primary on the votes of black people in South Carolina, but someone made an angel wings/halo mural of George Floyd and that's just too much to handle. You can point out that nobody on the left gave a rip about the dead-ass last trans weightlifter from New Zealand, or the other trans athlete whose Olympic Committee told them to getfukt, but the fact that we aren't up in arms about what's in people's twitter bios or which concern troll had their twitter suspended is somehow a big deal.

Clown world. Thank you for the cliffs notes.

I mean, living where I do, I'm exposed to my fair share of left wing silliness, but these reactions... jesus.

you think so? I think it’s all the apps. XM had a good niche for a little while but it’s hard to justify at this point. The song selection has also take a nosedive.

At least they still have onemorejude (Jude Angelini), who is national treasure.


Rogan derangement has replaced Trump derangement. Gotta have a boogeyman. Plus Rogan hosts people and ideas that are dangerous and literal nazis.
Howard keeps getting such big contracts that they dump their home grown talent. Also, their marketing is to give every start their own channel, like Howard. They dumped Ellis and Covino & Rich last year and the only reason I didn't rage quit was I had a free trial

Now I keep XM for times when I'm in the middle of nowhere and my phone doesn't work, but if I got rid of it I'd survive, especially with a few planned-ahead downloads. My first thought was to keep it for out of market sports, but I can get those through the MLB app and I'm sure there's something for NFL/NCAA as well.

And yes, Jude is wonderful WUT WUT

Instead of crushing the souls of the youth and easing their transition into the real world, we're indulging it

The proper response to someone who wants to use weird pronouns is ridicule
What level of ridicule?

Would it be the same level one would hurl as as someone who checks out a proud boi meeting?

Who's souls are getting crushed?

I'm a around a bunch of 18 year olds and they are fine.

He's speaking from experience.

When you're trapped in a sexless marriage for 12 years, then move that misery to Arizona and make it 10x worse, it's inevitable that you would become anti-porn, anti-casual sex, anti-abortion Western Chauvinist.
