Is anyone out there trying the feed from either WCRN or
WNTK? They use 2 other types of media players. That could work for you if you can’t get the WRKO feed

http://www.wcrnradio.com/
Listen Live: Windows Media, Winamp, or Real Player
(WCRN only does 5-7 pm though)

http://www.wntk.com
Also uses those players. (3-6 pm only)

I'll be looking forward to it!

Only so much more (if any) of the Obama/Hillary slugfest I can take . . . :(

Jimmuh! What the heck is this?

Miss Lillian was correct in that she should have remained a virgin.

The shark is warming up in the background. Howie is interviewing that addle-brained idiot that we had the displeasure to call POTUS back in the late 70s.

Last I heard, he was being all warm and fuzzy about Miz Lillian. Pardon me while I go to the bathroom and lose my lunch, breakfast and anything else in my stomach at the moment.

You stuck around? As soon as I heard the intro and Carter started to talk, I left.

I’m surprised that Carter stuck around at all with Howie Carr! It would be interesting to see the ratings for the segment with Carter and compare it to the remaining duration of Wednesday’s Howie Carr Show.

Hell no. As soon as I realized it was the old Peanut farmer, I beat feet as well. It took a few seconds for me to call up my Windows Media player session so I could close it!

Better yet, the ratings before Grits came on and after. I would bet his overall ratings for the day dropped faster than Yahoo stock this week.

Yup, I know—I didn’t really listen to it (had it on in background in another room); Howie was accused of being a softball pitcher...

I don’t know if the column I mentioned from yesterday’s
Herald ever made it online (been known to happen—never makes it to the site), but here’s a special column in today’s paper.

This gangster’s fat in the fire
By Howie Carr | Thursday, May 8, 2008 | http://www.bostonherald.com

For the FBI, bringing down the Cheeseman was like shooting fish in a barrel.

A very, very fat fish, that is. He weighs 400 pounds, this don of doughnuts, this king of the mozzarella mob. And Carmen DiNunzio can’t keep his bleepin’ mouth shut, any more than he can keep his pants from falling down around his 66-inch waist.

Yesterday, the feds released more information about the arrest of the 50-year-old moron formerly known as the Big Cheese, now the Cheeseman. And you can stick a fork in the Boston Mafia, because it’s all done.

As we pick up the story, Mr. Cheese is trying to muscle in on the very lucrative dirt racket in the city of Boston. The capo of capicola was scheming to sell dirt to the Big Dig. Go figure.

Of all the mistakes the Cheeseman made in this sad caper, the one I can’t get over occurred last Friday morning. He’d just been lugged, and as he sat around FBI headquarters, he began yapping about the family business.

I called up a retired wiseguy I know and read to him the 302 report on the Cheeseman’s revelations. The guy listened in silence until after I came to the final sentence.

“DINUNZIO advised that he believes that narcotics are ruining society.”

“What is he, a bleepin’ philosopher now?” my source said. “Doesn’t he understand everything he says will be used against him?”

But the G-men released even better material yesterday. They bugged conversations of his attempt to bribe a state hack. That’s right, you heard me - the Big Cheese wasn’t shaking someone down, he was delivering money to a guy he thought was a Mass. Highway Department inspector, for the privilege of dealing, not drugs, but dirt.

Only problem was, this corrupt hack was actually an undercover FBI agent. The third guy, the go-between, has been flipped.

You know how you learn in Mafia 101, never give your real name. The conversation begins with the rat introducing DiNunzio: “This is my friend, Carmen.”

The Cheeseman starts talking to the wired rat and the fed about what he was going to do to this trucker, Andrew Marino.

“I was gonna throw this bleeping kid off a roof,” he says.

First, Cheeseman, you’d have to run him down and catch him. And even if he were in a wheelchair, or even an iron lung, in a race against you, my money’d be on Marino.

The FBI hack then tells DiNunzio that “what I need is a guarantee that somebody’s got their foot on Marino’s neck.”

“Listen to me,” growls the gross gangster, “right here you got the guarantee from here.”

The fed is warming to his role. He is staring at 400 pounds of you-know-what stuffed in the sweatsuit of a 200-pound man.

“I don’t know you,” says the fed.

“I’m the Cheeseman.”

“You’re . . . the Cheeseman?” The fed deserves an Oscar for keeping a straight face as he says that. Back to you, Fromage-man.

“We straighten out a lot of beefs.”

And they eat even more of them. But by God.

“If they had 100 million dollars - and I’m talking out of school here. They better leave town. Cause it ain’t gonna be safe nowhere for them.”

Yeah, they cross the Cheeseman, he’ll sit on them.

“If the check ain’t there then I’m going to the bleeping can - ”

Yes, you are, Mr. Cheese. For a good long time, too.

Next, he starts stealing lines from “The Godfather.”

“If I can help you down the line. I’m not saying I can, but sometimes I could help you probably more than I could help myself or somebody in my own family because I’m, ah ...”

Because you’re the Cheeseman!

Somewhere in Nahant, Gennaro Angiulo is weeping. Somewhere in Europe, Whitey Bulger is laughing.

Well, if he was in school, or he would know that $100 million can't buy a high school any more. It takes at least $200 million...

Not being able to buffer whole hours for playback later

This is a good option, sense his return, he seems to be creating less entries on the “Audio-Vault” page

What is the name of the buffer file, and/or its location?
Thanks
