Howard Stern Show Listening Thread

[The Butler]

Morning, by the way. This bukake chick... meh. The sybian ride... meh.

We can thank glorified intern, errhhh, segment producer Will for that one.

[Feisty]

I agree... I thought his rant was not only on point and valid but really funny... lol. Butler, I love anytime Ben and/or Rae Stern call in... almost as much as I love Howard's impersonations of both.

Deb...did you ever know that you're my shero?

Of course Goodstein whose better suited for softcore porn production is egging it on as well.

At least Show in the Hallway, other original programming, and old E! shows redeem the Howard TV service.

Hope ur not right, but very well could be. IMO Bubba is the only one that can carry Sirius if and when Howard bails.

They are royally fucked if they're depending one or several personalities to "carry" the company. A lot of Stern fans are already fed up with the service and losing them if Howard goes would be a crippling blow to the company.

Bubba does a great show and has a solid fan base, but doesn't have nearly as much name recognition as many others on the service, and Sirius shot themselves in the foot not promoting the show like they should have. He's definitely not popular enough to carry the company, but there was a lot of wasted potential by Sirius XM. Keep in mind he was flying around the country doing live weekend shows for the UFC and getting the name out there. They fucked up with one of their must enthusiastic personalities who had a hardcore fan base who would've done anything to be a team player.

They're stuck in a hard spot since they can't pay him enough to keep him around, and it's obvious Howard wants to leave.

[Chob]

I love his rant about Rosie... Sirius may have just topped the auto industry for stupid decisions/management. Royalty fees, price increases, no howard on iPhone, adding content without asking the reason most people even subscribe to Sirius... yikes.

Sirius XM lately has given nothing to the subs and continues to take. At a time where they need to convince everyone to stick with them through all the new technologies coming out. I have probably the lowest confidence in them I've ever had.

[Chob]

Let me get this straight. Howard, who whines about doing any promotion whatsoever and won't work any harder to promote Sirius XM is mad because they didn't call him to help promote Rosie's new show? Am I missing something?

[Chob]

Howard's mom = win. Every time she's on.

[Chob]

Listening now. Rosie is doing a daily show that wouldn't fit on his channels. This is ridiculous.

I can't believe Howard is bitching about feeling he's not important to Sirius. They treat him better than any company he's ever worked for. This anti management shtick has gotten old, especially in this stage of his career. I swear, if he didn't put on such a good show his attitude would've gotten me to stop listening.

[SJ]

I think Howard is just programmed to bitch about management from the old days - The fans fed off that shit forever and maybe it's hard to completely drop out of your routine..

- Though I agree, the stuff is getting old and obviously just a work.. My guess is that Howard has another upcoming interview with Rosie and wanted to do the promo to get in some brownie points so he can be a little stiffer in the interview...

[DFender]

Howard's on vacation for two weeks... it's the History of Howard Stern, Part something. Meh. The beginning of the History was good... pretty sure the rest is common knowledge... LOL.

[DFender]

Hey, Chob, I think you listen to Howard... but I always miss the first hour of the show and wondered if anyone heard anything about Artie's situation that I may have missed? Boy, that was a long sentence.

Since 6:45 they've interviewed "Bruno"... lol... and are now discussing Jacko

[DFender]

8:00 hour... Artie's... barely... discussing the incident. FYI. He can't say much, apparently, until after court.

He says he blew a 0.0 on/in the breathylizer. He also said that he was piss tested. Car's fine, he's fine. He had been going to the pharmacy to get his Mom a prescription cuz she's sick. He was arrested and the police delivered the antibiotic to his Mom and said "ma'am here's your prescription and your son's been arrested on suspicion of DUI". LOL. Artie is also on an anti-depressant. Huh.

Okay, I'll shup now. Ha.

Yeah, that was pretty much it.

[kali]

frankly, i feel this is a case of the cops just wanted an excuse to hang around Artie.

[Chob]

This all seems very odd to me. So he wasn't drinking, maybe one of his medications made him appear high or gave him a false positive on a drug test? I can't wait to hear the whole story. Looks like we all jumped to conclusions.
