    I don't think you meant your comment this way, but you explained why I liked Mike & Mike.  I have no desire to listen to anyone on the radio talk about my team.  I've got message boards for that.  And I don't want to hear moron callers or moron local hosts talk about the longhorns.  To quote Ron Swanson, "I know more than you."  Mike and Mike was great because it was an inch deep and a mile wide.  Just national guests talking about national topics.  I try to listen to Wingo & Golic because the other Houston options are not great--John and Lance are the best of the bunch, but still don't entertain me a ton, Josh Innes will not get a minute of my time, and I don't care about the Texans, so 610 is out--but it's just not that good.

    I get that and I didn’t mean it as a criticism.  Hell, unlike many, I can listen to random political shows all day.  I guess when it comes to sports, I either want to hear about my team(s) or none at all.  For example, I freaking loved national sports talk shows leading up to the 2005 Rose Bowl.  As it is now,  all my teams suck ass so that could have something to do with it.

  2. Yep.  SinceMyDivorce reminded me of a girl I broke up with in high school.  We had mutual friends so we still sat together at lunch.  She would spend every lunch letting everyone know how “great” her life was since we broke up.  It was pretty funny seeing even her best friends constantly rolling their eyes.

  3. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can have interest in listening to two strangers talk or debate about sports.  I mean I get listening to something local like UT sports or The Ticket (for Dallas sports), but why would anyone care what some random douche from Boston thinks about Lebron James?  Even if you’re a Cav fan and are interested, do you really sit through 45 other mins of talk about non-local or non-favorite teams?

  4. Well two of them somehow couldn’t manage getting about 8 or so planks in the right order during the Illimination Challange, so what do you expect?

    Dhonathon is such an idiot, he almost talked himself off the island.  And I hope the blond woman’s job in the army was sanitation or tank painting, otherwise I’m a little worried about our armed forces.

    i guess next Wed is the finale?

    Just tried this and the call went straight to customer retention after me pushing 0 until I was transferred. No offers. No promotions. No channels given and 0 fucks on whether I walk or not. 

    Fuck Directv.

    I called a couple of weeks ago.  Basically told them that I used to pay less than $100 w/ sports/movie package.  Now I'm paying $140 w/o movie/few sports.  (This is mostly due to the fact that I went from 2 to 4 receivers and I added 4k content.)  Anyway, told them that I could get just about everything I ask for w/ my local cable provider @ around $100.  Told them that I didn't want to cancel DirectTV because I've been a customer for around 10 years but I'm not going to pay more for less.  

    They added all the movie channels + sports channels and took $20 off my monthly bill.  It may be easier for some of us due to the longevity of our business.
