R&F Sirius/XM Listening Thread for 02-26-09

[yojimbo7248]

I don't understand how poeple are fucked up at 2 in the afternoon.

:huh:

[epo]

this caller is a dope.

WHY would a CEO of a company give a flying fuck about the Emotional aspect/ramifications of their corporation?

dummy.

x2.

[Friday]

if I ever cheat on my chick its going to be with someone I find on www.dailypuppy.com


you are a sick, sick man.

[foodcourtdruide]

OMG some of us are grown-ups and have loyalty to our spouse and don't stray because things aren't perfect. What a bunch a childish argument.

[led37zep]

you are a sick, sick man.

I probably should state that it'd be a human. I forgot this was .net :ohmy:

[epo]

If he doesn't care then why is he making this crazy argument that his site is good for society?

I don't think he's arguing that its "good for society"...but rather it has a "place in society".

[nate1000]

:huh:

one of the callers was clearly fucked up- I need his job.

[Edwin]

I believe the children are the past.

[ANC]

Who's to say all married people have kids?

[Freitag]

I really wish I could start a thread on this but I wouldn't want to insult a radio host's sensibilities.

[epo]

The children?

Worst caller ever.

[led37zep]

I don't think he's arguing that its "good for society"...but rather it has a "place in society".

He made the "good for Society" argument earlier...he's doing again right now with the "preserve marriage" comment.

[Gvac]

I agree completely; the problem is more the lying and deception than the sex.

and who is worse, the site or the people who use it?

The people who use it are basically weak-willed and lonely. AshleyMadison is hardly the first business venture to profit off of these types of people, although I understand some people's belief that the site is guilty of aiding and abetting in dishonesty.

[foodcourtdruide]

I don't think he's arguing that its "good for society"...but rather it has a "place in society".

He is talking about the benefits of this site on society.

[ANC]

I believe the children are the past.
:lol:

[Friday]

OMG some of us are grown-ups and have loyalty to our spouse and don't stray because things aren't perfect. What a bunch a childish argument.

i hear ya.
however, before i can take you seriously as an actual adult, you will have to work on your grammar and usage.

:bye:

[A.J.]

[yojimbo7248]

one of the callers was clearly fucked up- I need his job.

I missed that.

[nate1000]

that is f-ing awesome!!!

[MisterSmith]

The way I am seeing this is the website is a tool, like a hammer is a tool or a gun is a tool. It isn't that it exists, but how it is used that is good or bad.

You don't have to be married to use ashleymadison.com, but you can be and aren't looked down upon for it. The intent is to find a sexual partner; whether you are single or in a relationship is essentially moot.

I am not saying that I agree with the moral choice of cheating (I wouldn't do it), but it is just a website; the intent is up to the user.

[ANC]

The children?

Worst caller ever.

http://tanyaderbowka.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/mrs_lovejoy.jpg

Damn you AJ!!!


well done

[chili]

wait I missed it, why did they say it was called Ashley Madison?

[foodcourtdruide]

i hear ya.
however, before i can take you seriously as an actual adult, you will have to work on your grammar and usage.

:bye:

Lol, sorry, I was trying to type that really fast. I was going to type "what a bunch of children" and ended up wanting to say "what a childish argument".

[Friday]

that was a good interview! nice job all around.

[EliSnow]

You don't have to be married to use ashleymadison.com, but you can be and aren't looked down upon for it. The intent is to find a sexual partner; whether you are single or in a relationship is essentially moot.


Um, I'm fairly certain that if you're single you can't use ashleymadison. Isn't part of the advertising gimmick that everyone on it is married or in a committed relationship and thus, those people want to keep it secret like the person looking?

[nate1000]

wait I missed it, why did they say it was called Ashley Madison?

ashley and madison were the #1 and #2 girl baby names when they started the site- that's what I was calling f-ing awesome

[PD]

wait I missed it, why did they say it was called Ashley Madison?

because they wanted to be woman friendly;
when they created the site, the 2 most popular name for little girls was
Ashley
and
Madison.

so they felt that if women named their girls that, they'd be comfortable with that.



that is so evil.

[foodcourtdruide]

that was a good interview! nice job all around.

He sounded like a very smart guy, but I just didn't buy what he was saying. The topic is definitely entertaining though.
(hopes he didn't make any grammar mistakes) :)

[yojimbo7248]

The people who use it are basically weak-willed and lonely. AshleyMadison is hardly the first business venture to profit off of these types of people, although I understand some people's belief that the site is guilty of aiding and abetting in dishonesty.

it's just a cynical way to make a living. yes, of course, people who want to cheat will cheat. he is, however, glossing over the ugliness of lying to your spouse. making money from pictures of topless sorority girls seems innocent in comparison.

He came across very well on the radio, though.

[Gvac]

Um, I'm fairly certain that if you're single you can't use ashleymadison. Isn't part of the advertising gimmick that everyone on it is married or in a committed relationship and thus, those people want to keep it secret like the person looking?

No, they've opened it up to single people who don't mind being "the other man" or "the other woman."

That's why one caller raised the question about a mistress gaining power over a married man she hooked up with on the site.

[MisterSmith]

An ashleymadison.com read followed by a hydrocare ad. Strangely both are about getting your pipes cleaned. :laugh:

[PD]

i thought the interview was better than I expected.

and yes, the issues are still there about its existence.

[led37zep]

He sounded like a very smart guy, but I just didn't buy what he was saying. The topic is definitely entertaining though.
(hopes he didn't make any grammar mistakes) :)
Not going to lie...I looked up a few of the words he was using. They seemed made up.

[EliSnow]

No, they've opened it up to single people who don't mind being "the other man" or "the other woman."

That's why one caller raised the question about a mistress gaining power over a married man she hooked up with on the site.

Thanks. I missed that.

It's that a recent development?

[foodcourtdruide]

No, they've opened it up to single people who don't mind being "the other man" or "the other woman."

That's why one caller raised the question about a mistress gaining power over a married man she hooked up with on the site.

You may very well be correct, but I also thought the appeal was married people contacting other married people.

[Friday]

He sounded like a very smart guy, but I just didn't buy what he was saying. The topic is definitely entertaining though.
(hopes he didn't make any grammar mistakes) :)

agreed... it definitely kept us interested!

haha... i had to bust chops. it's what i do :happy:

[Gvac]

Thanks. I missed that.

It's that a recent development?

I think so.

The CEO said the people joining understand they're just there for a fling with a married partner, but let's be honest; they just wanted to widen their customer base.

[yojimbo7248]

i loved that they played David Lynch coming back into the show. yes, the guy sounds nutty but he is basically right about meditation.

[foodcourtdruide]

I've been disagreeing with Ron a lot lately. I am EXTREMELY non-jealous with my wife and I am against this site.

[ANC]

I think so.

The CEO said the people joining understand they're just there for a fling with a married partner, but let's be honest; they just wanted to widen their customer base.

So it's open to gays too?


ahboooo...

[PD]

I know a number of people that cheat on their spouse without a site.

the issue (to me) is with the people

[~Katja~]

No, they've opened it up to single people who don't mind being "the other man" or "the other woman."

That's why one caller raised the question about a mistress gaining power over a married man she hooked up with on the site.

I signed up on that site last year to snoop around and better understand it. I have never been back to it since that day. I still keep getting messages and notifications for new members every week but I just don't care to sign back in....I wonder how many of the 3 million advertised members are truly members...

Yes, you can be single to sign up there. I wanted to see how it is anonymous... the site made me angry cause I looked up a few profiles there and in some cases it seemed that their wife had no clue about their unhappiness....


BUT I agree with what the guy said, if they were going to cheat they were going to do it without their service... and if they wanted to get caught they would...

[EliSnow]

I think so.

The CEO said the people joining understand they're just there for a fling with a married partner, but let's be honest; they just wanted to widen their customer base.

Of course.

Does anyone know how well this site does compared to adultfriendfinder.com? That site pretty tries to hook people up for sex, whether they're single, married and cheating, married but in a open marriage, swingers, etc.

[yojimbo7248]

'let those people ride the pine'? ouch.

[epo]

I would bet good money that the friend of Ron & Fez who grew up in the 50's with divorced parents was Bob Lassiter.

[MisterSmith]

I think so.

The CEO said the people joining understand they're just there for a fling with a married partner, but let's be honest; they just wanted to widen their customer base.

It's not new, but there is a lot less focus on it since the ads "got honest" and the site started catering to married people.

Like he said in the interview, ashleymadison's ads danced around the cheating issue initially. They couched the language carefully and focused more on the "dating site" aspect over the "married people's dating site" aspect.

So, single people can and do still use the service although the ads and press cater toward married people looking for discreet affairs.

[A.J.]

Funny. Today, it seems weird that my parents are one of the few couples that are still together.

[mikeyboy]

I wonder if Ashley Madison has ever had the "Pina Colada Song" situation where two people in a relationship get bored and join the site and then find out that they are hooked up with each other and then they laugh and laugh.

[Friday]

:laugh:

[Freitag]

wait I missed it, why did they say it was called Ashley Madison?

Biderman said on Stern this morning they were popular girl baby names, so the website would be more "female-friendly" and welcoming to females.

I find it weird that he used that marketing tact - babies - to get his site name.

[PD]

I love all of these people who call in complaining about how others act.

:glurps:

[yojimbo7248]

it probably re-energized their sex life and all has been well ever since.

[~Katja~]

I was wondering the same which made me curious about it and I wanted to snoop around how anonymous it really is (you had to sign up to go past the front page) ... see they show no pictures but as soon as people sent you a message they add them so it really is possible to run into someone you know before you meet them :)

[Friday]

I love all of these people who call in complaining about how others act.

:glurps:

don't we, as message board dorks, do this nearly every day?

:flush:

[PD]

wow - a buster brown joke

[Gvac]

That's not lleeder!

[KingGeno]

Go make a thread about THAT, Lleeder. FACE!

[PD]

NEVER.

[led37zep]

lleeder gets schooled by fez

[yojimbo7248]

lleeder wasn't being malicious but he is fascinated by Fez's cock

[Gvac]

Wow...phony gmann, phony lleeder, where will it end??

[PD]

[led37zep]

Stone Cold Ronnie B!!!!!!!

[RhinoinMN]

That didn't sound like lleeder.

edit: I agree with Gvac.

[Friday]

i just have to say... toilet is going to be so sad he missed this show/listening thread!

[led37zep]

[SinA]

[yojimbo7248]

wife cheating with a kid who lives with his parents and works at a sporting goods store...there has to be a ball joke here somewhere.

[IMSlacker]

Does foosball count?

[Friday]

i would play SOOOO much more golf if Maximum Mini Golf went into effect!

[MisterSmith]

Regular sized golf with immense clowns, windmills, etc. :laugh:

[Grizzlebee]

Foosball was mini-soccer to me.

[Friday]

Al Dukes!

[MisterSmith]

Does that mean Al Dukes and Earl Douglass are going to make a love match? They are both nearing 40 and unmarried...

[~Katja~]

Foosball was mini-soccer to me.

no, cause in Fussball you use your hands to move players on a game and in soccer you would not ever use your hands

[MisterSmith]

Who in their right mind thinks they can get unemployment if they quit? You have to be fired or laid off to get unemployment.

[led37zep]

I saw these My View glasses advertised on the subway...curious how well they work.

[Solace666]

Who in their right mind thinks they can get unemployment if they quit? You have to be fired or laid off to get unemployment.

I don't think you can get it if you are fired, like for not doing your job correctly.

[ANC]

Nice I'll try to win a pair.. then I'll just have to get an Ipod

[led37zep]

Come to think, all the golf games have left the bars too.

[RhinoinMN]

I feel like I'm on acid.

It is sleeting, raining and snowing here along with thunder and lightning.

[comp_atkins]

[Friday]

Pops Hicks really does behave like a 50 year old drunk.
OTB? Really??

That one was AWESOME!

[MisterSmith]

I don't think you can get it if you are fired, like for not doing your job correctly.

It may depend upon the state, but you can usually get unemployment for "unexpected" termination of employment.

In some cases your former place of employment can petition against you getting unemployment, but from my understanding that doesn't occur too frequently. But as you mentioned, gross negligence or doing something illegal will often be a reason an employer fights against unemployment benefits being granted.

No, I'm not. We just call it Bean Bag. When I built my own set I researched the dimensions of the boards and bags, I ran across the history of game. It was created in Nebraska under that name.

[ToiletCrusher]

Nice call Rhino.

Replace cornbags with 3 inch wide washers and Canadians call it Wa-shoes.

[EliSnow]

Good thread today buddays!

One last thing:




Fez's cock and balls!
