I just mentioned to my friend today that I sincerely think she's going crazy. I don't remember her acting this bizarre since the early/mid 90s before she was "cured". Something is definitely changing with her.
Grinchy said:I finally just got around to listening to Monday's show. Holy shit I can't remember the last time I tuned out so much of an episode. Robin is really dragging the show down IMO. I haven't felt that way until recently, either. It's something I never agreed with before, but she has lost her mind and it's no longer funny.
Will there was Artie LangDucky_McGee said:Robin is clearly the most mentally fucked up person on the show.
Ugh. I hate all of them. The real reason is none of them ask any questions that would break Howard's balls. They're all ass kissers.Maklershed said:Caller rotation: Mark from Boston; Tommy from Walden, Mass; Bobo; Eric from Hoboken; Marianne from Brooklyn
I like how whenever anyone asks why they only take calls from the same people Howard/Gary always says that its cause they ask good questions and have good points yet Howard almost always hangs up on all of them.

Maklershed said:So what's going on here. I'm listening to the 10/10 show, their first day back from a two week vacation and Howard is telling the story of the misery of his terrible vacation and I swear he told this story before verbatim .. I think when they came back from Christmas break. He went to Parrot Cay in Turks & Caicos and was given a shitty house that was infested with ants and they sprayed gas and he felt sick and they moved him again to an equally bad place etc and they moved him again. Does anyone know what I'm talking about / remember the first time he brought this up?
MDavis360 said:He did recount the story almost verbatim-but it was just because he was going on about how when he vacations he's miserable. God he's such a fucking Debbie Downer. That whole rap about how he can't go to the bathroom in public?
Oh so he was indeed just retelling the story? I thought he was saying the same exact thing happened to him on this vacation.MDavis360 said:He did recount the story almost verbatim-but it was just because he was going on about how when he vacations he's miserable.

Ducky_McGee said:I have never been one of those fans who beats up on Howard. I've enjoyed the show for the vast majority of the time I've listened to it.
That said, the show is almost listenable now.
Howard's Apple felating, OWS bashing, twitter discussion, shitty guests, and ignoring things like Robin's weight gain have me thinking he has completely lost touch.
When the show isn't boring as fuck it's pissing me off. Tuning in and hearing Howard talk about how "Herman Cain seems to have a lot of good ideas." and "OWS people seem to be protesting for the sake of protesting, they don't know what they really want."
It's just getting on my nerves. The show simply isn't funny anymore. The majority of the time it isn't even entertaining. The same three callers each and every show. Howard talking about his iPhone. Howard having 3-4 shitty guests a day. He really needs someone to sit in on the Artie chair. Artie had his things that could make him irritating on the show but for the most part he was always someone who facilitated interesting and even sometimes intelligent discussions.
He would call Howard out on his bullshit. He would get into arguments with callers. He'd mix it up with the show staff.
I'm just bored with this shit.

Robin's vegan-ism seems to be going very well.
America's Got Talent shoots in Los Angeles. I'd be stunned if Howard were okay with doing that much flying.Trevelyon said:Howie to replace Pier's Morgan on America's Got Talent -- oy vey
If this is true I might actually watch that show. Howard probably would be a good judge.Trevelyon said:Howie to replace Pier's Morgan on America's Got Talent -- oy vey

Normally I wouldn't give a care, but I think Howie's really perfectly suited for the role. I'd be tuning regularly to see him on that show.
It definitely pails in comparison not only to what it was on FM radio but also on 4 day a week Sirius with Artie. But I still listen for the glimpses of the shadow of itself .. like Scott getting yelled at for fucking up, or Richard and Sal doing something dumb, Ronnie getting goofed on for being Rickyman, Howard yelling at ___, etcGrinchy said:As bad as I feel the show may be getting, I only consider it bad in comparison to what it used to be. Aside from a few podcasts that I can listen to, talk radio does not exist to me outside of the Stern Show. I still feel it's the best radio out there (at least that I've tried listening to). One of my biggest gripes is how pussy the show has become. Robin is now untouchable; no one can call her out on anything but she has free reign to shit on anyone in any way she pleases. On paper that sounds like it could be interesting to listen to but it's only frustrating.
There was already a kids' version of Idol on FOX several years ago, it flopped.Maklershed said:Listening to 10/25 episode: So did Howard catch wind that there's gonna be a kid's version of American Idol on Fox coming out soon so he can claim he invented it? I can't figure out why else he'd be doing this segment.
Ha wow that was completely off my radar.Gary Whitta said:There was already a kids' version of Idol on FOX several years ago, it flopped.

Unrelated: I was just loling hard at the 'werewolf' call. It didn't get me at first just because the premise is so ridiculous I can't imagine anyone even entertaining it but then the violent werewolf growling and howling kicked in and I couldn't help but laugh.
Oh man that one makes me laugh out loud every time and I've heard like a hundred times now.MDavis360 said:Yeah that was a good one. Reminded me of the call where their house was infested with bees and the chinese delivery guy came over and got stung. Along with their cousin John. And their dog...
"You need to get out there!"Maklershed said:Oh man that one makes me laugh out loud every time and I've heard like a hundred times now.
"My cousin John is here. John what do you want?!"
"Uhh .. hi. Owww! Ohhhh!"
The first year of Sirius might be one of the best he's ever done. It's amazing how much the show has changed for the worst.
It used to be consistently hilarious. I'm listening back to Oct of '06 and wow. I thought Artie was sort of an everyman slob who appeals to the lowest common denominator. Listening back he was an EXCELLENT part of the show. He regularly chimed in with hilarious one liners and quips.
"We should dress Penny Chrone up as a 13 year old girl." - Howard Stern
"I thought you said you were 13?" - Artie as pedo on To Catch a predator
"No, I said I was born in 1913." - Artie as Penny Chrone
His fights with Crazy Alice. His fights with EVERYONE. Just classic. And he had the balls to confront Howard and Robin on their shit. Nowadays NOBODY has the balls to call Howard out on his photography and technology talk.
The show is so fucking awful now.
Also what's going on with the whack pack? Apart from an occasional call from Jeff the Drunk and ETM I haven't heard anything about what's going on with Big Foot or High Pitch Eric for over a year.
If I'm not into sports will I not like it?
I realize now that Artie's best attribute is that he called Howard out when he started talking about shit that Stern show fans wouldn't give a shit about or that he's talking about too much ... ie Dancing With the Stars or photography.The first year of Sirius might be one of the best he's ever done.

I haven't listened since my last post (11/15). Been listening to The Ricky Gervais XFM shows from early/mid 2000s. I just needed a break. Might have to give that Nick and Artie show a try.I gave up Stern about 7 months ago. Haven't really missed it. Started listening to Nick and Artie's show about a month ago. It's great. I hope he can stick with it. I don't need Stern otherwise.
