On Tuesday's show there was this caller named Ken (I think). Towards the end of his call, he criticized Howard's interview with Kid Rock and Howard said something along the lines of "when you have the Ken Show, you can do a better Kid Rock interview than me," and instantly, Ken fires back that if he had his own show "Robin will be there when I talk to her." Then they instantly hung up on him and changed the subject quickly.

Whoever that is, THANK YOU!

If the lady is sick, she should focus on her health and not be there. What are all of you, Howards? Bad weather, illness, you stay home. Work ain't that important, even if you are on the Ken Show.

Yeah I didn't think anyone had problem with Robin not being in the studio, I thought the issue was how they have gone about (not) addressing it. I kinda get it, if Robin was candid with what she was going through it would become part of the show. People asking how it was progressing, jokes, etc. I understand how she could just want to perform her role as its been and not make it a thing, as weird as that comes across sometimes.

Well, Robin has always been the counter point to Howard, she comments on him and the show is about him. So I can see why Robin doesn't want to open up to the show, I mean for pete's sake, they keep her sealed away in her own booth for a reason. I'd imagine rightfully so that she is scared and worried and doesn't feel the loving arms of stern fans is the place to air her health problems. I mean, we rib her enough over everything else, but I could imagine the poo poo people would give her and currently do over her illness.

The one point I didn't like however was when she was ripping into Richard and others for not showing up. That was a little cruel, but then again Robin dishes but never handles attacks well.

Has anyone noticed Howard doing really corny jokes for the last few days? Like Jay Leno sounding jokes.

He'll read a news bit and then say a corny joke about it:

Howard: "So did you see Wendy Williams posed for a no fur PETA campaign?"
Robin: "Yes, I did Howard."
Howard: "Benjy called and they told him to stay clothed and to wear as much fur as he wants."

Seems really to have ramped these up recently. Anyone else feel the same?

I've noticed this for the last couple weeks. I think Howard has Shuli writing these jokes as they're often show related corny jokes. He'll bring up a current event and follow with a cheesy jab at a staff member.

Yeah, he has been throwing out zingers like he is reading an ad.

"Black friday, or as I like to say, fat people running towards cheap electronics"

Sounded like a hacky stand up tweet.

David and Al are pretty good guests, they usually are honest and open and enjoy going back and forth with Howard. I even like to know what Joan is up to every now and then, but not too much. Sandra is just harrible.

Well guys, this is my stop. There's no way I can suffer another entire year of AGT talk. There's just no incentive at all for them to put on a good show now. It really is some of the very worst talk radio ever, day after day, no end in sight.

I would probably be more receptive to it if everyone didn't pretend they arent working on a massive pile of poo poo for a show. The endless ramblings of myriad sycophants just makes it all thousands and thousands of times worse.

What talk radio is better? I've tried listening to numerous podcasts and local shows and all the popular ones just seem like watered down Stern shows with the same formula. I like Nick and Artie, but after listening to a week's worth of it I'm ready for more Stern because it just feels more polished.

I love how they always get into in-depth discussions of George and Brad's passionate wrestling.

A few hours into the show it dawned on Howard, "Wait, yesterday was Sunday! You got laid yesterday! You wrestled and got laid!"

You also get to hear Howard genuinely burst out laughing whenever George gets into a long winded explanation of something out of the blue, it's great.

The gently caress is with all the voice impersonators being played over and over and over and over? I like Bigfoot, because he legit can't talk and seems rather slow. I don't like some guy pretending to be "Big Foot Jr." and hearing him like 4 times a show, including he pronouncing every single world just with the Bigfoot voice. Or Dice Clay "Jr". Or Tracy "Jr".

I've gotten used to Howard easing us towards his retirement so I don't bitch much, but poo poo, just bring in a dude that sounds like Eric the Midget and make that guy talk all the time, it's the same thing. Replace everyone with the Tracy and Big Foot impersonator, who needs real people?

I don't think they can get Bigfoot on very often because I think he lives off the grid. Tracey Millman I think doesn't like to be on the air, especially after being in so many fights, I think it made her uncomfortable. That's why we get impersonators, that being said, it's a little much with the Bigfoot Jr. already.

The show that prides itself on real conversation/interaction between people now literally relying on impersonators of past guests to provide content kind of shoves the show down a long flight of stairs into a big pit of "so bad it's good"

Pretty much. At least the Bigfoot impersonator was funny when he was bashing Eric down.

FogHelmut posted:

After today's beatdown of the Midget, it's obvious Eric just wants attention. To get him to do anything would require just kicking him off the show in such a fashion where he's desperate enough to do these things before he gets back on the air. Or bring in an impersonator and completely besmirch the shitstain's pseudo-celebrity.
