Gay Radio Show Humping

[Riddler]

shouldn't this shit be in the rubber room?

[Amazing Richard]

It's a rapid increase in listeners on the LRN stream just as the show starts and a sudden drop off back to average at the end of the two-hour show.  It's about 70 listeners above the about 50 average.  The Sunday FTL was only about 20 to 30 above the average, FWIW, not that I'm putting down FTL.  I constantly acknowledge that we're totally riding their coattails.  And besides, that's the FTL show that I was hosting, so...

We didn't talk about cock-sucking, but if you're disappointed, you can always call in.  We did, however, talk about Neal climaxing to the sound of Rush (the band, not the talk show host).

This is crazy...how does FTL make money...if these numbers are right? I thought FTL would be doing much better than this "50 average".  Even if the "stream" is only taking in 50 people....while CGN (or GCN???) is taking a lot more...I don't get it. Ian and Mark ...prolly make most their money selling drugs.

So gays can call themselves libertarians too now?

First Clinton calls herself a libertarian...  now this...

Eh, time to retreat to a new political label... again...

Anarcho-Capitalisto-Copyfreeo-Heteronormo-Satano...

Bah, screw it, I'll just be a Republican!

I guess the bi's are the only ones without hypocracy.   ie "yeah, whatever, I'll eat it/suck it"

They're so lucky.

I'd agree.  So why'd you post it in this thread?

So you're a "perfect" 6 on the Kinsey scale?  Were you always?

I used to be a 0, then I slipped to 1, just because of supply and demand issues, if you know what I mean, then to 2...  and then I decided I don't want to go there, so now I'm an X.  I guess that makes me a sexual minority within a sexual minority within a sexual minority.

Just as an aside, I remember that Walter Curnow in the book version of 2010 was bisexual. Floyd made a mental note that well adjusted bisexuals would probably someday be the norm for society.

Pretty close, I guess.  It's just so non-sexual and that's what makes it uncomfortable.  The pretending.

Were you always?

I had a couple very brief crushes on girls around the 7th grade and then never again.  But I didn't go so far as to have much of any sexual thoughts about them.  Just thought they were pretty and had mild obsessions.  Meanwhile, I recognized crushes I had had on boys in retrospect, the full extent of which I just didn't understand because it was I was young and it was undefinable.

1. Those low numbers you are seeing are people listening to a rebroadcast of the stream, not the live show.
2. Low numbers on the Sunday live show are to be expected. In the business that time frame is referred to as off-off-off-prime.
3. I don't know what GCN's numbers are these days. They used to have 1000-2000 people listening during FTL's time frame. I haven't looked at our live stream audience numbers in a very long time.
4. Normal FTL's get 5000 downloads, some shows are significantly higher. Sunday shows get about 80% of the downloads.
5. FTL is on 93 radio stations, at this moment. I would estimate the Weekly Cumulative Listenership at 500,000.
6. No body is making a fortune, but we are doing just fine.

I don't think so, Mark.  That big hump is right at Noon to 2pm on Sunday and the smaller hump is 7pm to 10pm during the live Sunday FTL.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

2. Low numbers on the Sunday live show are to be expected. In the business that time frame is referred to as off-off-off-prime.

The Mon-Sat shows have much bigger spikes.  You guys can see all of this for yourselves at http://graphs.lrn.fm.  And like Mark says, FTL is heard SO MANY ways other than just LRN (except the Sunday show) so it's not really comparable.

There is a very significant element of choice and individual self-conditioning involved.  That's been a major theme in some of my recent rants on this issue.

Yes, we will eventually inherit the earth.

This seems like as good a place as any to say that I approve of male jail bait talk live.

What does it make me if I am attracted both to Justin Bieber and to many of the Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber?
