There might be a topic similar, but I don't have the time to search. Basically, I thought I'd share, and just in case others may want to, where you are when you're listening to RGR? Are you at home? Are you at work? Are you in the Handicapped Restroom at Mcdonalds listening to the show on your.....*shudder*... IPod?

Personally, right now, as I eat Sour Cream and Onion Chips at our Mac computers in school half an hour before class, I'm listening to part 1 of the Jerry Lawson interview.....is that Jeri Ellsworth in the background talking to you guys, Shane? Anyways....boys and....uh..girl, where do you listen to the shows? I know there are some of you who listen to it in the car. You guys can chime in, too. Go on!

Back in 2001 when I first heard RGR, I would listen at home, while surfing the net.

After a while I started burning them to CD and listening to them in the trains, on the way to work.

Then I would listen while at work, which is what I do now. :)

Doesn't a CD hold 70-80 minutes on each? And aren't a lot of the shows over...or wayyyy over 80 minutes??? What do you do then, bud? I thought of burning a few of his shows to CD, though right now I'm using my blanks for the Video Masters TV tests.

I had a STACK of CDs! It was tedious work, believe me. But since I didn't have any other portable hardware besides a CD-Walkman, that's what I had to work with.

Anyway, I usually split the show into 10 minute intervals; then I burn the MP3 files into a CD-RW and listen to it while commuting. Work is very close to home so my commute times are relatively short (15 to 20 minutes). Therefore listening to one whole episode takes like one week!

Lately; I've also been copying the MP3 files into my Zire 72 PDA (Using Card Export) and then I listen to them using Aeroplayer. I listen to the show tucked in bed (does it ring a bell Jakdin? ;)) Usually I fall to sleep after half an hour of listening, then I suddenly awake when the show is over :).

The CD-Walkman I had (still have it!) is so old, it wouldn't play MP3 files, hence my gazillion CDs...

Yeah, that rings a bell... ;)

We should start an RGR Bedtime Fan Club... LOL! No, on the other hand, that sounds rather unpleasant.

I might be a member of the RGR Bedtime Fan Club too! When the show is 4 hours long, and its 2:30 AM in the morning, I sometimes fall asleep in my office chair :)

No! The show does not put us to sleep! That would be creepy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, welcome to the Fanclub. Everyone have their complimentary RGR bedtime pillow with Shane R. Monroe bedsheets?? Now let's go around the bed and introduce ourselves.....ok, I need some help, boys, hahahaha. ;)

I got some serious f**k'n issues, don't I??

Or the Shane R. Monroe couch pillow for when you're listening to the show laying on the couch!

Or the Shane R. Monroe Bathroom accessories set when you're listening to the show on the can!

Or Shane R. Monroe nightstand when you're done listening to the show in bed and put your player down and then pulling up your Shane R. Monroe blanket sheets to keep the Gen Gimme bugs from biting.

OK enough with this!

Marketing. That's where we belong. 10% of our profits go to Shane, and we'll name our RGR mouthwash product after him...Listershane (Listerine)

Ok, I'm done.

I listen to RGR on my *Cough* IPOD *Cough* during my almost 4 hours per day commuting to NYC on the LIRR. I usually listen to the shows late however, (I am just now starting the December show) so i cant really participate in show feedback.

The other show i loyally listen to is "off the hook" at 2600.com

Other than that, i just work or sleep on the train. Listening to RGR is a real treat that i savor like a good desert.

At work on the PC, I bring the MP3 on a flash stick since my work blocks the download.

I always listen on my way back and forth to work (about 45 minutes each way)

Use to burn to CD because I had a MP3 CD player in my Durango, just got a new truck that doesn't have a CD player, so I put the show on a memory stick and us a RoadBlaster FM modulator that has a USB port on it that I can plug the memory stick right into it.

I use to listen at work some, but just started a new job a few months ago and haven't had time to listen at work.

I just listened to the entire November 2005 show on a flight from NH to OH (flight was delayed so I had a lot of time).

Bad flight stories! Read my post (http://www.monroeworld.com/forums/showpost.php?p=22000&postcount=39) from CGE 2K5 :)

OUCH! Wow, Flare, that was extremely scary! Worse, I think, than Troy's funny story about how he got tix for San Jose and not San Francisco. Man, those airline peeps rake you over the coals...too bad Independence Air isn't around anymore...I'll try some of these other carriers.

But flying is usually a drag. People suck, especially when you have a screaming little girl in the seats next to you, and you just wish that you could get away somehow. Has anybody found really good deals on air travel? Because I am thinking about doing so spring break (Another trip to WDW would be good, but also a Disney Cruise would be spectacular. Maybe I could do both...thinking out loud here...).
