Here's that video that Stern was talking about. The Argentinian strip dance, chicks pretty hot.

[Richard Belding]

You know, I was always on the fence about Billy. Thought he was talented and had some good songs but never really "got" him like everyone else did. But, after his phone call and in the studio today, I have a new found respect for him, basically because he just seems like a normal every day dude. That always seems to happen with guests. Someone seems like an arrogant prick or a huge bitch and they come on and you're just like "hey, they are actually pretty normal and funny." Easily one of my favorite parts of the show and Howard as an interviewer.

I especially thought it was interesting when Billy talked about Steve Winwood being his piano idol and how he's one of the few he actually gets shy around. I really discovered Winwood a couple years ago and he has become one of my favorites and it was cool to hear Billy talk about being a fan of his. Just a real great interview.

[hbktonyb]

My favorite guest of all time is not sitting in on the news...wtf.

[nkc8246]

My favorite guest of all time is not sitting in on the news...wtf.

I'm assuming you're referring to Gilbert?

If so I was about to post I REALLY missed Artie today with Gilbert being in...it just wasn't the same :(

[hbktonyb]

Yup, Gilbert. How the hell does he not sit in on the news. God, Howard has become such a bitch.

why did the host flip out at the end? That was semi porn and shes hot.

I think thats why, it got a little too much for the host, at least thats all I could make out from it. Chick was hot though.

[hbktonyb]

The show has lost its comedy. How many times over the last few months did you really laugh? I can think of a couple - Gary's lists, Gilbert today, and a recording of Artie calling in laughing at Gary's pitch. The rest of the show is just interviews and commentary on the world.

I'll still listen, but it is not a comedy show anymore and I don't understand why.

Agree, the laughs aren't the same. If they announce they will continue the show, they really need to look into filling that chair. This week did deal with some great interviews though, and that took up a lot of time, which I did enjoy. But like I said, if they continue they need to hire someone.

[CrashDMB237]

1. Breuer
2. Carolla
3. Sal

In that order. Artie ain't comin back.

[hbktonyb]

Obviously, Howard hates Artie. Fuck him.

Today happened to be a really good week of shows, but not having Gilbert do the news and the lack of laughs is just bumming me out.

[hbktonyb]

Glad ETM came through today, love the little guy.

[FunkyTeaParty]

Booey is on Carolla's podcast today.

[jackisback24]

Booey book is really good. He's going through the videotape episode now.

What I didn't realize and he apparently made public on the show was HE was the one who provided the video tape. I thought the guy provided the tape that called in. It was Gary who did. He explains why in the book.



Listening to Billy Joel now in its entirety. Really good stuff.

This is ROFL. He's a best selling author?

[junior94]

1. Breuer
2. Carolla
3. Sal

In that order. Artie ain't comin back.


I've long since accepted that Artie wouldn't be a key part of the show anymore, but the idea of Sal being in that chair, good fucking lord. That might be about one quarter of a notch above Ralph filling the thing. Doesn't get much worse than that. Don't get me wrong, for as fucked up in so many ways that Sal is I recognize he has positive and funny contributions to the show, but to the point of being in that chair... no way.


Anthony man, I feel ya. I know I've already mentioned this before, after all that's happened, Howard's REALLY disappointed me with how he's handled the "Artie topic" in general. To me it comes across as he got what he wanted/needed out of him for several years, and now he's just discarded in Howard's mind. I really can't comprehend why Artie can't be allowed to return for one friggin day just as a guest to tell his story that he even WANTS to tell. Really lame.

[hbktonyb]

Would love to see Sal in the chair. He would push the envelope, which Artie did and Howard does not do anymore.

[jackisback24]

I guess the chick who Gary sent the videotape to all those years ago is kinda friends with Gary now. The funny thing is he wore a specific rock and roll shirt to get her attention and she never even noticed it. By the way, Crash, Gary tried for a production job with the NBA too, just as an FYI. And those free beer stories with TGIF are funny, but no way in hell would they do that now for legal reasons.

[jackisback24]

stuff from the book. ^

[junior94]

Would love to see Sal in the chair. He would push the envelope, which Artie did and Howard does not do anymore.

oh god I can't imagine. I mean like I said, yes I realize Sal gives positives to the show, but ultimately I think both he and Richard work best in small doses. The idea of the chair once occupied by both Jackie and Artie now being SAL? I have so much sympathy for that hot wife of his. It must be downright shameful being married to him sometimes, all the shit he's pulled. I know why he hasn't left yet, he's pretty much come right out and said he couldn't afford, what I don't understand is why SHE hasn't left yet with the kids.


Btw I've been watching this interview of the latest dumb young chick wanting to sell her virginity. First of all I love that they feel wearing wigs will completely protect their identity :lol But then also near the start when they're talking about other fucked up things from their small town, like 12 and 13yo girls getting pregnant, and saying it with this superior tone like "can you believe what some white trash will do?" meanwhile.... umm.... :rolleyes :lol If this girl seriously gets 7 figures from a dude I think I'll blow my brains out. And how about the Natalie chick from a couple years ago? Turns out she never winds up doing it, and STILL got $250k somehow? WTF??

I just got past the chapter about his brothers, I can't believe all the stuff he has been through, pretty crazy. Great read so far, looking forward to the rest. Especially the lists, :lol

[HoldemHart]

God I loved the Russian pick up contest.

I agree with this. Howard is emotionally inept and can't handle the seriousness of what Artie has gone through. He just doesn't get it. At this point, Artie should NOT return to the show to tell his story, he should reserve it for a great interview with someone who can wrap their head around severe depression....which Howard obviously can't despite years and years of therapy. :rolleyes

Basically no one on the show seems to have any respect for Artie. Listen, I know, not too many drug addicts may deserve respect but jesus, it's not like Artie hasn't tried to get his shit together. He's been completely demonized.

[Jewelly]

New show and the first hour has had a pretty negative slant so far. Poor Gary.

[HoldemHart]

I'm loving this segment with Jeff the Drunk.....Ronnie yelling at him is priceless.

[CrashDMB237]

Eh, it's time for the show to end. The funniest part of the show these days are the prank calls coming out of commercial break. Literally the only funny thing I heard today was drunk Richard singing "Holla Back Girl" leading into commercial. That and Jeff the Drunk saying to Bobo "what have you accomplished besides being dumber than me?" :lol

I'm not ready, I'll admit it. I'll take this watered down show over any other morning show out there.

[nkc8246]

I'm not ready, I'll admit it. I'll take this watered down show over any other morning show out there.

:thumbsup I feel the same way.

As for Jeff the Drunk (I cant' believe I'm going to say this) I agree with him!
I think what really got to him was Howard saying he wasn't going to give ETM money and then he ended up giving him 711 money for the IQ test results

[hbktonyb]

I'm not ready, I'll admit it. I'll take this watered down show over any other morning show out there.

Me too. I'll listen forever. But the show is just not that funny anymore.

[HoldemHart]

Robin was out of control during the Dr. Drew interview.

[nkc8246]

I thought the Paul Giamatti interview was awesome today!
It was cool to hear him and Howard talk about Private Parts and Pig Virus.

[jackisback24]

Gary will be on Fallon next week.

[Jewelly]

Robin was out of control during the Dr. Drew interview.

Was she flappin her lips like she usually does? Interjecting, interrupting and forgetting her job is to sit behind the window and do the news!:rolleyes

[HoldemHart]

I really enjoyed the interview with Howard's trainer. I thought Howard was hilarious during the interview.

[hbktonyb]

When will the book promotion end?? :lol

[HoldemHart]

I love Howard's neverending jealousy of John Stamos.

[nkc8246]

:lol:lol
Those couple of Gary's audio book contest clips Howard played today were awesome!! I can't wait to hear more!

[Sleepr56]

Gary is going for that "bonus" check :lol

[jackisback24]

finished the Booey book. A must read for all in this thread.

[hbktonyb]

I have to read the Booey book, but it can't be anywhere as good of a read as the Artie book.

[Jewelly]

I miss you Artie, I love you Artie!!!! :hugs

>In Maryann from Brooklyn's voice of course<

[Sleepr56]

cawwwww cawwwwwwwwww - crow voice :lol


I asked for the booey book for xmas.

[Jewelly]

I think Gary is doing the right thing, no matter how much shit he gets. He's out there hustling up the green and his next move, Techno Beaver, producing, he'll be fine and so won't the rest. If they don't have their ducks in a row, tough shit. No different than the rest of us who have to worry about where they'll be in a year.

I could have sworn I heard Howard say this morning something about that HE'S worried about future money !!!! King Jewman doesn't have enough shekels to play with. >rollseyes<

[hbktonyb]

Sometimes I don't know what Howard expects from his staff. They are probably making $50K per year or less living in NYC...how does he expect them to save and have a plan??

Baba Booey is different, he probably gets paid high in the 6 figures.

[javierm27]

Robins Hippie show. Boobs look great!

Oh I thought, didn't it come out a couple years ago that Gary gets like $500k a year?


But yea as I've said before, quite frankly it's irresponsible on Howard's behalf to (& especially now) be this close, a friggin month away with the decision not made, for the sake of all these people under him that need to make real and difficult decisions about their lives, the people that absolutely have to keep working, whereas he obviously never has to again for one single day.

[jackisback24]

no push for Sirius during Xmas time makes me confused. Unless Stern aint coming back.

[HoldemHart]

Not sure how accurate this is but if it is, sell that Sirius stock ASAP!!!!! Howard might be signing deal with apple apparently.

I was just about to post that. Not sure how I feel about it.

sweet jesus. I think what I find most ironic is now here at a point where the show overall is certainly on the lower end of its legacy on continual quality, if this deal is true he'd wind up getting paid twice as damn much per year as he has been at Sirius.

[HoldemHart]

[FunkyTeaParty]

This is true, I need more details though. So will the show air live? Or will it be podcasts? Etc. I am just happy they are getting close to finding some deal. Sirius really blew this.

[HoldemHart]

I'm all for it.

This. I was listening today when he was doing his parent's impressions and I thought to myself that this simply couldn't end.

[Beefsteak1138]

I love their customer service. I call them every six months to cancel, and they keep offering great deals to stay.

[Sleepr56]

I hope my sirius cost drops if Stern leaves, so I can afford his podcasts :lol

[hbktonyb]

That report is fake.

[HoldemHart]

Damn....I need answers!

[javierm27]

I will wait for the Howard Stern news to report on this.

[junior94]

God ya know I guess there's just tons and tons of people out there who don't realize there's so many different kinds of services that you can finesse your own special deal on by exactly that, threatening to cancel what you got going on. well good on ya :)

[CrashDMB237]

The show not being live kind of takes away from the grandeur. No callers takes away an entire dimension of the show. No more back and forth with Jeff the Drunk or Eric the Midget. That's some of my favorite stuff on the show. Plus if it's taped I'm sure it will be in a recording studio which means no real office environment which takes away the Sal and Richard dynamic. I dunno, honestly, I feel like if they aren't going to do it at Sirius it's not worth doing. That's the ideal situation for the show. Anything else at this point would be a step backwards.

[Jewelly]

Only time will tell kids.

Listen, I think he should be done. As a listener for over 20 years I can honestly say I think we've heard the best that he has to offer at this point in time. He's been miserable and as much fun as Sirius has been and can be, he's just plain old burnt out. Without Artie to float things............. yea, maybe someone else could take Artie's chair successfully but Howard doesn't have the gumption himself.

Can't he stream the show live and then offer it for download when the show is over?

Completely disagree with this statement. Even at his worse his show is still better than anything out there. As a listener for over 20 years you should know he's always been miserable. I think the old and burnt out statement may apply more to you and you're feelings as a fan. Listen, if you think the show is horrible, just stop listening, after a certain point the bashing gets old.

I do turn off the show. A lot. I didn't say it was horrible now, just that I think Howie needs a break from radio, he's burnt out on the schedule, the format, his staff etc. There are funny moments but they are far and few between compared to previous years.

I truly hope he doesn't do another 3 or 5 year stint at Sirius. He should take a break, explore other possibilities and eventually work the 2-3 day work week he dreams of.

Or sometimes by just asking. I called Verizon and got a year of Showtime (so I can watch Dexter) for free just by asking if they had any deals they could offer me.

[hbktonyb]

I still don't get why Richard and Sal are never on the air anymore. What are they doing? No new phoney phone calls, nothing in studio, no talking about their personal life. No new song parodies...

[CrashDMB237]

Get used to that if they do this Apple TV bullshit. The two of them are my favorite part of the show, they make it worth listening to these days with no Artie.

To me the show has always had its highs and lows, and it hasn't been any different to me lately. However like Sabean says, "This is the greatest show on earth" I think whatever he decides to do will be his last run on air. He still wants to be on which gives me hope that he will take one last shot and then retire. Plus I would really hate to see the show end this way, there hasn't been any planning on a crazy celebration, I would want something to celebrate the end.

[jackisback24]

I was just listening to some of the stuff today on best of where Gary and Howard were talking the future of the show. Everyone said they seem worried and Howard wished he could announce a deal, but isn't sure of anything at this point. The irony is if this were any other show, Howard would go on the air daily and blast the nonsense of the contract almost up and no one knows whats going on. Stern says he's trying to work some stuff out for everyone, TV people too but it's not coming together. I kinda believe it, hence no Xmas push yet.

I keep thinking I'll logon to CNN news or the website and see a bullet with "Report: Stern leaving Sirius" or something like that.

By the way, everyone should ask for the Booey book for Xmas. Quickest read ever. And you're all hardcore fans so I think you'll enjoy it.

Next should be Freds book, but I think Jackie will be before him.:lol

[nkc8246]

George in studio this week!!

[HoldemHart]

Will definitely cheated on that test, his reactions seem very guilty to me.

I really don't think he did cheat.

The link is the chart of the "test format" he said he researched.
I don't think looking at the chart would really give anyone an advantage IMO.

[nkc8246]

WOW...Howard is really mailing it in..its insane.

He completely breezed over the Gary audio book contest today.
Just played like 4 final clips..had the studio members vote and that was it :BANG

I mean the entire bit lasted 10 minutes at best. Unbelievable :mad

It's crazy man! I think the bit could have been SO much better.
Such a waste.

He might as well have answered the phones and given $5000.00 to the first person to say "Hey Now!"

[CrashDMB237]

If George coming in isn't a sign of things to come, I don't know what is. The Sirius tenure is done and if THIS is the show Howard is taking elsewhere, I'm not following. Not worth my money now let alone when you take away some of the best aspects. Such a shame.

:lol Lil Mikey, hands on my nuts, awesome.

[HoldemHart]

Two days of George in the studio during the Christmas season and we still haven't heard Brad's Big Balls. A travesty.

[jackisback24]

If he does move to Apple, I pray I can hear it in my car and the reception is tons better. It still sucks to be driving and hit dead spots, or spots where reception goes in and out and you can't hear anything.

[javierm27]

Damn only 6 shows left. I think the writings on the wall with Sirius. You have to figure something would have been said, but nothing. It seems as though Sirius isn't giving in since they may feel Stern has nowhere else to go. But they may also be waiting until the break to really get down to business.

Lil Lupe is going to be on the 15th, I love that chick.

[jackisback24]

You get the feeling with George in this week that since George was on the first show, maybe Howard will announce something tomorrow on one of the last shows? Again, it's Xmas shopping season and I understand that Sirius is operating in red, so maybe are ready to ditch him? Really weird stuff going on.

Any day I can picture going to CNN.com and seeing "Stern leaving Sirius; moving to Apple." Call me Ms. Cleo!

[hbktonyb]

I think he will stay, they will work out the deal over break. There will be a cliffhanger on the last show...

[javierm27]

I think he will stay, they will work out the deal over break. There will be a cliffhanger on the last show...

It seems like this will be the scenario.

Like I said a few pages back.......... "It's over Johnny, it's over."

Haha, that clock prank call is awesome.

I hate it because of how fake it is. No way that is real.

Now this is a great morning!

Howard announces 5 more years at SiriusXM.

starting in the new year, if your phone has wifi, you will be able to listen to the show on your phone. This means blackberry/iphone/some others will all have siriusXM apps :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

[jas230314]

Like I said a few pages back.......... "It's over Johnny, it's over."

if you heard the beginning of the show, howard gave everyone one hell of a fake goodbye speech that had everyone believing him

This is an awesome day!

[CrashDMB237]

Man, if the show was going to continue, SiriusXM was the ONLY place it could continue. I'm hoping we see some change in the next 5 years and it doesn't continue on the downward spiral, but I'm just thankful it's here to stay. THE CHAIR NEEDS TO BE FILLED!

[FunkyTeaParty]

I didn't turn it on until 8 and I fell for the Sal joke. I was bumming.

You are absolutely right about that. Bring back the Baby Gorilla.

Prank on Sal was amazing

One of the best in a long, long time.

[CrashDMB237]

God damnit, when I'm working the night shift I miss the show all the time! I'll have to listen tonight on the 6 PM replay.

[jas230314]

I didn't turn it on until 8 and I fell for the Sal joke. I was bumming.

ouchhhh that sucks. He kinda did a fake out 'goodbye' speech really early in the show, and it felt like i got punched in the stomach.

You are absolutely right about that. Bring back the Baby Gorilla.

I dont know if he could handle it, but I would love for Artie to come back more than anything.

[hbktonyb]

Great freakin news. Some details:

[Jewelly]

if you heard the beginning of the show, howard gave everyone one hell of a fake goodbye speech that had everyone believing him

JUST turned on the show. So wow, I have to eat crow now because Hoo Hoo loves the money more than retirement. 5 years no less !!!!! I'm fairly surprised.
I wonder how many millions the contract was, last time was $500, I'm guessing a full $600 million.

So now Howard better start slugging fucking 5 hour energy, quit his constant bitching about having to work and most importantly, FILL THAT FUCKING CHAIR!

I'm amazed.

No way.

I think Howard took a deal for himself, instead of taking a $500M deal to cover his whole show. I think he is going to leave it to Sirius to negotiate with the rest of his staff...

[Jewelly]

You're probably right. Part of that $500 mill was to help set up the actual studios and what not if I'm not mistaken.

[serenity now!]

Great news.

Prank on Sal was awesome. :lol And, yeah, when they come back on next year it's time to fill that chair.

[javierm27]

Baba booey to y'all!! What a great morning!!!I am just listening to the replay of the show, but my Fiancee texted me the news this morning. I thought they were going to get down to business during the break and negotiate a contract then. I am so thrilled they didn't go down that path.

[hbktonyb]

Prank on sal was so fake though

[HoldemHart]

Prank on sal was so fake though

I don't know, you gotta check out the pictures on howardstern.com. He genuinely looks devastated, either that or he's a great actor.

[HoldemHart]

What are the chances Bubba the love sponge re-signs?

[Jewelly]

Prank on sal was so fake though

I haven't even heard it yet but I wondered if it was a premeditated bit. :trap

[hbktonyb]

I think it was like that stupid clock/cock phone...a written bit. Just so happens that Sal was 2 hours late today? hmmmm

[hbktonyb]

...and he doesn't realize that Howard is talking directly to him and not Robin/Fred/Gary...

[junior94]

The one thing that bothers me most about the money is how hypocritical he is, just that he's always SUPER cagey about how much actual bank he gets, yet anytime there's a guest in and the topic comes anywhere near money, he presses them so hard to "tell the truth" about how much money they make per year/project/whatever.

[FunkyTeaParty]

I don't think he makes any qualms about being a hypocrite.

[CrashDMB237]

That Sal bit had to be fake. I haven't even listened to it yet and I know it was fake. There's no way he can go an entire commute and a walk into the building without hearing about it.

[FunkyTeaParty]

He stayed at a hotel and overslept.

It may have been fake, but I vote it wasn't.

[junior94]

Honestly in this way sometimes I feel like Howard in how he'd always reacted to the Artie drug news that he constantly believed what he was simply told that everything was okay. Because I always believe anytime there's a 'situation' like this on the show I believe it was entirely real. Maybe I'm incredibly naive, I just can't see Howard always making that move.

Plus, while granted I haven't heard it yet, there's just no way Sal's that good of an actor.

[Jewelly]

I'll have to hear the Sal bit to weigh in but I'm already quite sure it was staged. Just based on other past bits that were totally pre-fabricated.

[FunkyTeaParty]

Well, I turned the show on late and I fell for it too.

[hbktonyb]

Steve, any inside info on other "real" bits when you worked there?

I listened again, most def. fake. Sal was mic'd and the rest of the staff was hardly mik'd has Howard was saying he was not coming back.

[CrashDMB237]

Everything that went on in the 9 months I worked there was completely real, there's not even any evidence that anything they do is staged. I just find it hard to believe Sal wouldn't know before he even got there.

[jackisback24]

You get the feeling with George in this week that since George was on the first show, maybe Howard will announce something tomorrow on one of the last shows? Again, it's Xmas shopping season and I understand that Sirius is operating in red, so maybe are ready to ditch him? Really weird stuff going on.

Any day I can picture going to CNN.com and seeing "Stern leaving Sirius; moving to Apple." Call me Ms. Cleo!
well at least I got this part right! The Sal response was funny. Haven't backread this thread, I will in a sec, just got home from work, and I only heard the Sal bit, so how many days will Stern work?

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-12-09/howard-sterns-sirius-deal-the-400-million-contract/

[hbktonyb]

George sounded so sincere when he sent his well wishes to Artie and said he hopes to see him on the show in the future. Made me sad...

And once again, Howard and the rest of the crew had this awkward silence.

[CrashDMB237]

I have two highlights that will live with me forever from my 9 months at Stern... one is Howard pulling me aside after my first time on the air to tell me I did a great job because I made people laugh. The second? George calling me sweetie after I got him a cup of tea :lol

[hbktonyb]

George seems like the nicest guy in history.

[CrashDMB237]

I just heard the Sal thing. Man, that was fucking awful. But after hearing it I definitely do not think it was staged.

Excellent ! Do you remember a caller named "The Sim" ? He came into the studio to try to "woo" Robin and brought her a basket of veggies and meats.

[Jewelly]

Lucky for you. I was his girlfriend for two years. After his appearance. Artie said he was creepy but I fucked him which is odd. Anyhow.... I miss Artie to NO end and now that Hoo Hoo has signed for 5 years, you can BET Artie will be allowed in there somewhere to boost ratings. Despite the fact that Howard hates him. :rolleyes

[hbktonyb]

Really? It sounded so fake to me...Sal purposely sniffling every 2 seconds...

I don't think that was purposely I think he was legit having a panic/cry attack.

Man, that's just a weird story... no offense :lol

I do remember that though. He was a huge creep.

[jackisback24]

Howard: "I don't know if Chaz has stretched his clit to look like a dick. I don't know if he has balls."

George (in serious tone): "I don't, either."



That brought the lulz for me.:lol

[jackisback24]

Alright just some random rumblings after listening a little of the show yesterday and today. Obviously yesterday was an older show.


I don't understand what Howard and Robin were talking about when Christian Bale lost his cool on T-Salvation, but stayed in character. They said he blew up at the set in an American accent. No he didn't. Not only did he speak in his normal Australian accent, but they replayed the bit on the show and he's clearly speaking in his Aussie voice. You could even make a stretch that it sounded British. But it certainly didn't sound American. Anyone else catch that and wonder what they were talking about?

Also, kinda weird listening to the show this morning about how Robin might not be back. You gotta think that Stern talked to her before re-signing but they make it seem like Stern had no clue that Robin is still waiting for her deal to go through. They have the same agent---how could they all be so clueless and not on the same page? Like, is it really possible that Howard re upped for 5 more years but Robin won't get a deal? Weird radio for sure.

[Beefsteak1138]

Bale is British, not Australian.

[jackisback24]

Bale is British, not Australian.
okay, fair enough, but he certainly didn't sound American when he went off on that tirade. Stern said he stayed in character and was an American when he berated the staff, when you can clearly hear his accent.

[Beefsteak1138]

I dunno, I'd have to relisten. Either way, it's damn funny.

Ooohhh, good for youuu.

[jackisback24]

I dunno, I'd have to relisten. Either way, it's damn funny.

Ooohhh, good for youuu.
did you hear today's show? What's up with Robins and Freds contract? I thought Stern paid those people? So they really go through Sirius and not Stern himself?

[javierm27]

I am calling a bluff on Robins part, she is probably working that angle to get what she wants from Sirius. She has been saying she had something in the works for a while and all we have seen so far is that stupid vegan cook show online.

But I do agree its pretty weird that Stern is the only one that has a contract, the rest will have to fend for themselves, which kind of sucks, but Stern got what he wants, and thats all that matters to him, :lol

In the old days, I think this is the way it was done before too, everyone had to work out their own contract.

[hbktonyb]

Just a way to keep up interest . There is no way Howard signed without knowing his main crew, like Booey, Robin and Fred, were coming back.

[junior94]

I'm finally watching the HTV segment of the retiring gag they pulled on Sal -- I'm not even 10 full minutes into it, and I'll say that I'd literally bet my life that it was NOT staged.

[junior94]

I just came across an old Law & Order episode and cracked up when a character said "Bloomies" :lol

[javierm27]

I haven't seen the footage but I thought it was real.

I think its pretty funny that Sals wife is having a viewing of that footage, kind of like the Booey love tape, :lol

[javierm27]

Richards barn stories always make me laugh, and I love Freds impersonation of him.

[CrashDMB237]

That Little Lupe segment today was fucking painful. I don't know who was more annoying: Lupe, Arquette or Lambert. They tried to recreate something and it totally flopped.

[hbktonyb]

Horrible bit with wayy too much buildup. Best part of today's show was Howard's feeling on Artie. He is still leaving a door open...

Pete asked Howard about Artie being brought up on the show and how Howard jokes about it. He asked if Artie has been insulting him or something. Howard said he hasn't at all. Howard said he's very careful about what he says about Artie. He said he will never forget the feeling that shook him when he got the call about Artie and what he did to himself. Howard said it rocked him profoundly. Howard said he did a lot of self examination and asked if he had something to do with that. Howard said his conclusion is that he loves Artie and he gave so much to the show. Howard said he will always be grateful for that. Howard said Artie is a gentleman and he's funny. He said that when the life and death thing came to him he said he would not go on the airwaves and do anything to upset him or rock his world. He needs the love of his family and friends and he needs to get better.

Howard said he can't sit there and make jokes about Artie. He said he doesn't want him to be offended by anything. He said he's walking a tight rope. Pete said it's been a year now. Howard said he's imagining that he has a lot of recovery to do. He said that he's not sure if the show is good or bad for Artie. He can't make those decisions.

Howard said he went through a lot of emotional turmoil over that whole thing. Howard said he had no idea that Artie was in that kind of trouble. He said that Artie called him but he will not reveal what he said to him. Pete asked if he's still an entertainer. Howard said he assumes he is. Pete said that if Artie recovers and wants his job back on the show, would he consider it. Howard said he wouldn't know where to begin with that. Howard said he's not sure when Artie is on drugs. He said that when he was showing up to work people would ask if he could tell he was on drugs. Howard said he couldn't tell and that bothers him.

Howard said they're talking live and death and he wants Artie to live a long life. He said he used to tell Artie he had a good thing going there and it was the greatest. Howard said they didn't have the pressure of regular radio and they were just laughing and getting paid well. Artie liked living in Jersey and he thought that he had it good. He had his own situation going there.

Howard said Artie is the best and he's a beautiful guy. He said he loves Artie. Pete said that some people think he was forced to love him for the show. Howard said that's not the case. He said Artie is great. He said he wouldn't even say he'll never be back. Howard said he doesn't want to do that. Howard said he can't be cavalier about this whole thing.

Howard said he had Artie on the phone to talk to Pete. He put him on and it was actually Sal and Richard playing clips of Artie talking to Pete another time on the phone. Pete was either playing along or he fell for it. He was arguing with the clips. They had Artie calling him a fucking douche bag and things like that. Pete said that he'd had enough of that. Howard told him that it was tape of Artie. Pete said he thought he had motivated him to call back in. Howard said he knew he was falling for it. Pete said he really thought it was him. Howard said he was yelling at a tape. Pete said ''fuck that guy anyway...'' Pete said the guy is a scumbag.

Howard told Pete it really was a tape. Pete said ''whatever'' and hung up. Howard thought that he was in on it and would have gotten the joke.

[jackisback24]

I must admit that I actually bought for 2 seconds that Robin was leaving the show during her announcement.:lol

[javierm27]

Same here, :lol

[javierm27]

I love how Lupe is afraid of Dave.

[Jewelly]

Man, that's just a weird story... no offense :lol

I do remember that though. He was a huge creep.

I've never seen the bit, although I heard it when it originally aired. Odd to think I dated a huge creep! :lol I was the best thing to ever happen to him. Oh well, onward and upwards !

Hhhhhhhhmmmmm. I think it's true that Howard absolutely can NOT deal with Artie's suicide attempt. Therefore, I don't think he can deal with Artie.

[javierm27]

Nice to hear Crazy Alice today, I miss her and Artie going at it.

[hbktonyb]

I miss comedy, Artie comedy...

At least Howard left the door open. I think sometime in the next 5 years we will hear Artie again, never full time, but as a guest.

[jackisback24]

will he pull a sulu and be on the first show on 1-10-2011?

[jackisback24]

Did Train do Hey Soul Sister?

N/G

[hbktonyb]

No Soul Sister.

[FunkyTeaParty]

Love the Rainbow Room stuff. I love when Fred gets fired up.

[CrashDMB237]

I wish they would release a box set of the History of Howard Stern. I know it's not over yet, but I would still listen to the first 4 acts multiple times if they released it tomorrow.

[hbktonyb]

It is really good, other than omitting the biggest part of Howard's life during that time, his wife. But I understand that it was part of their divorce settlement, it is just weird knowing how much he talked about married life back then.

[junior94]

I wish they would release a box set of the History of Howard Stern. I know it's not over yet, but I would still listen to the first 4 acts multiple times if they released it tomorrow.

Well you can essentially get that, every single part of the saga so far from back in like 2007 or whenever it started is still out there to be downloaded from the usual suspects.

I saw Craig Gass a couple days ago on his facebook talking about how the one section that just aired looked kinda in depth at his time in the Jackie Chair and I'm really looking forward to checking that out, because there was one morning in particular (& I found out from asking Gass himself on Twitter that it was sometime in 2001), it was definitely within the top 5 of the wildest laughter I've ever had from listening to any particular Stern show. It was during the news, and he was going on this extended riff doing Al Pacino's baby, and somehow Steven Seagal comes into the story, that he's trying to molest the baby or something, I remember I almost had to pull off to the side of the road in LA traffic I was crying from laughing so hard. (and I don't think it was that exact morning, but around that same general time Vinny Favale called in literally just to say the same thing I did, he had to pull over and stop the car he was laughing so much)

[jackisback24]

ba ba boeey (to the Price is Right theme).

Had to be done.

I liked the Rodney/Jackie interplay over the money owed.

I remember when Stuttering John spilled stuff on Jakob Dylan and thought then and now that SJ can be a clown.

[serenity now!]

Has there been any word on what's replacing Bubba's show in the afternoon on 101?

[jackisback24]

Has there been any word on what's replacing Bubba's show in the afternoon on 101?
I meant to bring that up since I just read about it in a wrestling newsletter, of all places (Hogan and Bubba are friends). I didn't hear anything about this. Then again, there wasn't a lot of buzz about Howard re-upping (some news clips, but nothing major). I'm sure something will come of it, like Jay Thomas or something else for cheaper programming.

[CrashDMB237]

I wanna know what Ferrall's deal is too. He hasn't announced anything one way or the other. I keep in touch with him and he even told me he couldn't comment which tells me there's terms of a contract in place that can't be revealed. I hope at least. He may be annoying as shit but if you want to just listen to a dude talk about sports like you're hanging out with your buddies, Ferrall is awesome. Plus I want a job :lol

Was listening today about the Channel 9 show and weird to hear Artie talk about it during the wrap arounds. If that was recent, that may bode well for his return, although if he returns, that doesn't bode well for his health long term.

Dude, change ur sig. Pats rocks.

[hbktonyb]

Yeah, I was wondering when those Artie interviews took place.

Kind of sucks that Bubba is gone, I just hope they don't put Jay Thomas on the channels daily. his show sucks.

[jackisback24]

Auld Lang Syne everyone. Hopefully doesn't = Old Lange, Sigh.

[HoldemHart]

Not gonna lie I was giddy hearing the show start live this morning.

[hbktonyb]

Me too, but the show was not good today at all. Can't listen to Howard/Robin complaining about their zillion dollar vacations for an hour!

Need a comedian in the chair!

[HoldemHart]

Please Gary....get the black dude from the Rex Ryan video....please please please.

[HoldemHart]

Did he talk about David Arquette going to rehab at all today?

[javierm27]

Good morning so far, I missed the whining about the vacation. I love hearing Riley and the crew go at it, and fuckin Ronnie, what a moron.

[nkc8246]

Did he talk about David Arquette going to rehab at all today?

It was mentioned but he didn't spend a ton of time on it.

He talked about how he felt bad for David and that there are still rumors of Courtney running around with her co-star...but that was about it.

Interesting him ending the show at 10 today and WUS ending at 11.
We'll see how long he sticks with that.

[CrashDMB237]

Me too, but the show was not good today at all. Can't listen to Howard/Robin complaining about their zillion dollar vacations for an hour!

This has been the theme of the show for well over a year.

[hbktonyb]

And now the show is cut an hour. Bullshit.

[HoldemHart]

They are playing mammary lane episodes in leu of Bubba, which I really enjoyed this afternoon.

[CrashDMB237]

And now the show is cut an hour. Bullshit.

Hey you guys are the ones that wanted him to re-sign! :lol

Honestly, did anyone not see this coming? The show has been at an all-time low for the better part of a year, Howard is getting older and wants things his way, SiriusXM has no choice but to meet his stipulations... it was just a huge recipe for disaster.

[jackisback24]

They are playing mammary lane episodes in leu of Bubba, which I really enjoyed this afternoon.
I noticed it too and happened to put on when Brown Bunny director Vincent Gallo came on and thought it was better then anything that Bubba did.

I bet Stern re-signing and Bubba's show ending have something to do w/one another, money wise.

[Jewelly]

Well, let's hope we get some comedians sitting in Artie's chair soon. At least a couple a week would help.

[junior94]

I have no problem at all with Bubba's show being gone, as I'm sure I've said before I've never liked Bubba one bit, he's a pompous asshole who's just a lame, pale imitation of the most outrageous parts of Howard. This always seemed so obvious to me, making me all the more surprised Howard brought him into the fold to begin with.


And yea now that they're officially back on for another 5 years, they've absolutely gotta fill that extra chair on a regular basis, for the show to have any hope of picking back up at all close to where it once was (just please for the love of god, not Sal :p)

[Jewelly]

Sal in that chair would be suicide. He's not on par with some of the great comedians that should be swapping in and out of that chair.

I think the idea was when Stern got on Sirius that he needed big name talent with a following to help fill his programming. He heard a couple of Bubba's shows, realized he had a following in Florida and was currently banned from terrestrial radio. But anyone like that comes off like a Howard Stern ripoff.

The next Howard Stern will be nothing like Howard at all.

[HoldemHart]

I'm not going to bitch at all, if he hadn't resigned I'd be listening to Orlando sports talk radio.

[nkc8246]

The Mammary Lane replays they have had on at 3pm on 101 are really making me miss Artie.

His Tyson impression was just on and I was DYING!! :lol

As awesome as it is to hear its also so sad.

[nkc8246]

Pretty good article on Bubba and Sirius:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/us_media_siriusxm

From the article:

Bubba blamed management's penny-pinching on its obsession with striking rich deals with Hollywood, sports and music personalities who have name recognition but no discernible talent for radio. Sirius XM, for example, pays Winfrey about $18 million a year and Stewart roughly $7 million.

He has a valid point.

Today's show was good, Howard was hilarious during the news, he had some good parents impressions, Sal and Richard were featured, and a good interview with MaryLou.

Now the big question...does the show stay live 4 days per week?...

[jackisback24]

True Story: I had an MRI done for the first time today and man was I clausterphobic. Shit scared the shit out of me. Anyway the doctor asked me what I'd like to listen to while under the machine. Naturally I said Howard 100 as it was around 1pm and I could catch the replay. Anyways they eventually got to Marylou talking about her brain and stuff and just weird listening to them discuss her autobiographical brain and testing her while under for the MRI.

[hbktonyb]

Hope everything is ok!

He better, he said see you tomorrow at the end of the show. :violent

[Jewelly]

I like that they are sticking to a 10:00 sign off as hopefully that will keep Hoo Hoo's bitching and moaning down. Good luck with that I know. :D

[hbktonyb]

King of All Blacks makes me die laughing every time he is on :lol

[CrashDMB237]

That Seth Rogen interview was pretty good. He's such a likeable guy. No real "bright lights of Hollywood" stories and talking about how many girls he's fucked. I rarely ever listen to interviews when Stern does them because it always turns into the same shit: rich famous people talking about things no one can relate to. Rogen is just a cool dude who likes to smoke weed and write funny shit.

[Joruus]

It's weird getting into my car at 4 pm EST and hearing the wrap up show (and it's the END of the wrap up show) instead of hearing the start of/middle of the news. They really were going way long on some days.

I agree ! :thumbsup

He's definitely one of my favorite wackpackers, just his voice itself is funny to hear, and he's just so boisterous and gregarious I honestly believe I'd have a good and fun night out hanging with him.

[javierm27]

I love how the Rogan interview turned into a drug conversation for the most part, even the callers. Fuckin Stoners.

[hbktonyb]

Seth is awesome

[javierm27]

I love howard ranting about those other radio guys sayin, "no not really", hahaha.

[Richard Belding]

Langford vs Brandano on the WUS was pretty good. I don't know why but I just love Langford. Everytime he talks I just laugh. He is fantastic. And Brandano is a little bitch.

Mammary Lane today had Jason Biggs and all them doing the Kathleen Turner voice. I was dying. Artie is the best.

[Jewelly]

I miss Artie to no end. I hope to hell he's getting the long term help he needs. Miss you Baby Gorilla !!!

[hbktonyb]

Me too. Listen to these, it helps me get a little hilarious Artie fix:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNU1nuxcoCY Artie laughs @ Blue Iris. :lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XUnrKpC93g&feature=related Artie loses it to porn clip and "Ba ba ba ba boooooo eeyyyyy" sound clip. :lol :lol :lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqXKcrGSXAg Booey "Reese's", Artie begs for Scenes from an Italian Booey Restaurant. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[javierm27]

Good show so far, I love when they rip on Benjy.

[HoldemHart]

Tim Sabean is banging that intern, no doubt about it.

[javierm27]

:thumbsup

Banging his "niece"

[Richard Belding]

Charlie Sheen is apparently on a bender in Vegas with our girl Bree Olson and 2 other porn stars while he's supposed to be on set for Two and a Half Men. I don't blame him whatsoever

Dudes living the dream.

[javierm27]

Howard showing why hes the best interviewer out there. I have no interest in this guest, but this interview is just fantastic, Howard is the man.

[hbktonyb]

The big big bang...the big big bang

[javierm27]

I didn't think that Richard and Sal phony call with the homeless golden voice guy wasn't that bad.

[jackisback24]

did Gary make it in with the snow? They had 18 inches in CT.

[javierm27]

did Gary make it in with the snow? They had 18 inches in CT.

He was on today. Maybe he stays somewhere in the city?

[HoldemHart]

Oh my god the mash up of Bree Olsen and Obama's speech was hilarious.

[javierm27]

KC is gay, no way he didn't know that was a tranny. Listening to the interview now and I just checked out the pics on Howard Stern.

[hbktonyb]

KC is a homo. That chick is a dude.

[HoldemHart]

I'm loving the Best of Sirius stuff, SO much better than BTLS. The Phillippe interview is fanfuckingtastic

[nkc8246]

I'm loving the Best of Sirius stuff, SO much better than BTLS. The Phillippe interview is fanfuckingtastic

:thumbsup Followed by the Artie/Teddy Fight... awesome stuff.

[javierm27]

Baba booey pitch on Howard 101 right now, I love Artie ripping booey.

[hbktonyb]

2006-2008 was the best radio.

[Richard Belding]

I finally heard Richard getting bikini waxed the other day. I honestly haven't laughed that hard in a really long time.

[jackisback24]

Don't get the hi mommy phony phone call stuff. I didn't laugh once at all.

[HoldemHart]

Baba booey pitch on Howard 101 right now, I love Artie ripping booey.

Damn it....I missed it....that was EPIC

"That's the gayest thing I've ever seen, and I've seen a guy suck another guy's cock!!"

[BotheDMBFan]

This is why I didn't want him to resign. :shrug

Well, let's hope we get some comedians sitting in Artie's chair soon. At least a couple a week would help.

Norm Macdonald plz.

[FunkyTeaParty]

Norm would never last. He doesn't have the discipline for that job.

[javierm27]

Damn it....I missed it....that was EPIC

"That's the gayest thing I've ever seen, and I've seen a guy suck another guy's cock!!"

One of the greatest lines ever.

[jackisback24]

off topic, but.........................:eek

[HoldemHart]

Can't wait to see Piers Morgan tonight, should be quality.

[Ascf33]

One of the greatest lines ever.

:thumbsup

I know that wasn't Artie's line but that was easily one of Artie's best days ever on the show.

[HoldemHart]

:thumbsup

I know that wasn't Artie's line but that was easily one of Artie's best days ever on the show.

The delivery made it, he could barely get it out he was laughing so hard.

Good ole days.

[HoldemHart]

Steven Tyler was high as a kite......American Idol might actually be interesting.

[HoldemHart]

Can't wait to hear tomorrow's show....these results shows are always good.

[javierm27]

Great interview by Howard again, Steve Tyler was a good guest.

I am still laughing that Sal and Richard clip they played after the Giants won the Superbowl, :lol Fuck New England!

[Ascf33]

Howard was kind of a bitch about the Ricky Gervais stuff.

[hbktonyb]

Yeah, don't understand why he didn't like it. Gervais was funny, and ballsy.

[hbktonyb]

Tyler is awesome, great interview.

[hbktonyb]

Piers trying to hard to challenge howard, but overall pretty good.

[Richard Belding]

Just watched it after I DVR'd it. I thought it was very good. Howard really is the best. I love how right away he starts trying to interview Piers. No one compares to him

[HoldemHart]

Howard was great but that show isn't going anywhere, I thought Piers blew.

[Ascf33]

I thought the results today were pretty anticlimactic. They were hilarious but still pretty predictable.

[CrashDMB237]

That was a pretty big letdown. And an even bigger letdown is Howard saying he's doing nothing with the Artie chair.

[hbktonyb]

That was a pretty big letdown. And an even bigger letdown is Howard saying he's doing nothing with the Artie chair.

Well, that is the biggest letdown ever. Glad the show is going to 3 days a week. They need a fucking comedian in the chair.

[hbktonyb]

Also, Howard's hair is 100% real and not dyed, but his beard is grayer than Ted Turner's hair...

[hbktonyb]

Joan fuckin Rivers :BANG:BANG

[HoldemHart]

Joan fuckin Rivers :BANG:BANG

It's almost comical at this point, I'm not super bummed I'm in conference calls all day.

[javierm27]

Fuckin ETM, his reviews are incredible.

[jackisback24]

Well, that is the biggest letdown ever. Glad the show is going to 3 days a week. They need a fucking comedian in the chair.
Honky, congrats to you and Crash on...um, ahem, advancing in the playoffs. Just got back from Disney and haven't posted in a week. But that game was the lowlight.

What's this about 3 days a week? Did he announce this?
