I know Rover reads this board, so lets post a few things you'd like to see happen with the show. And for you faggots that don't like to talk about the show, run along to the whats for lunch thread and hang out with your friends.
Here's my list...
1. Hire a web guy who can fix the website, moderate these stupid useless forums, and make sure the site doesn't crash during the Thursday hookup (see #2).
Yeah it would be nice if this website was actually useful or served a purpose related to the show. I only come on here every couple days to see if there are any threads related to the show, usually there aren't. Rover says this is his last contract. If he is serious I doubt this would be the time that he finally hires someone, especially if it comes out of his own pocket.

2. Ditch The Thursday Hookup... the girls are all ugly white trash, and the segment is generally boring. I don't tune in all the time on Thursdays because of it.
Yeah I find this pretty boring too. I don't think it is ever staged or anything, but it is annoying when you can blatantly tell a girl is lying about a question and they don't try to get the real answer out of her. They do try sometimes, but they could do it more. The girl did agree to come on the show and tell the truth right?
As far as getting rid of it though, I don't see that ever happening. It is a segment of the show that takes up over an over of the time and requires minimal prep, just some after hours calls to the girl and writing a few questions. Kind of like Tech Tuesday. That segment used to be decent when they gave things away for listening, now it is just a waste of time. I'm not even sure why they have the guys from PCMag come one (unless they are being paid by them), since Rover would usually rather answer the questions himself.

3. Webcam in studio. It would be cool to see what's going on in the studio sometimes. Alan Cox does it, why can't Rover?
I think this would be really cool, but I agree that they won't do it because there are things they don't want us to see. I don't even know if I would call a lot of things fake (although I could think of some that I believe were fake I'm sure) but I think they really play a lot of things off to be better or more exciting than they really are. Still would be awesome to have this. But if they can't even get the chat to work on the site, or not have it crash on Thursdays, this will never happen.

4. Reality show.... he's been talking about it for years, but nothing ever seems to happen with it.
Yeah, I have kind of moved on from this, just don't think it will happen. I thought he made an announcement about it recently, but I'm sure it was nothing.

5. Get Jeffrey in their full time, and pay the guy. Jesus Christ, he admitted the other day he only gets 10 hours a week at $8/hr. That is highway robbery considering how much material they get out of the guy.... I probably laugh more when Jeffrey is on than any other time during the show. He's gold, so pay him a little more!
When I heard Jeffrey say that I was honestly pretty sad. I am sure he makes more than $8/hr at his security job, so he loses money by not working there and being on the radio. I like the amount of days he is on there, but they could definitely use him more, he generally seems to only come on during the last hour. Even then you get the craziness, like when he started crying because of that song and stuff. I really think the show should at least pay off his tuition if he still has any. Not to be mean, but with everything that has been talked about and revealed about him, there is no way he would get another job in radio. Of course I don't think he would be able to be a host anyway...

6. Bring back Dare Dieter... didn't Dieter mention it was coming back? But since then we've heard nothing. I think Dare Dieter was WAY better than League of Extrordinary Morons.
Not counting on Dare Dieter, I think LOEM is the only compromise we will get. Dieter doesn't want to do the crazy stuff by himself, and with this he has a chance to win something. With that being said, Dare Dieter was much better. I remember listening to the one where he was eating the lightbulb and they got pulled off the air in Cincy, it was amazing. Would be nice if he bought his old tapes so we could hear those again. Seems like every Best Of is just a rotation of a few of the same clips.
I hope LOEM happens soon, this show needs something exciting to happen, doesn't have much going for it right now. Maybe the Dumb divorce stuff, but I doubt we will get much out of that. Maybe Charley needs to get his ass kicked on camera again?
