I know it shouldn't bother me at all, but she has made countless millions off that show and she can't even bother to properly prepare the ONE segment she's responsible for. How often do you hear her shuffling pages while stammering or just trail off mid sentence because she lost her place? I mean goddamn.

I love to hear Howard Stern make the same comments every other day about how he uses iTunes and Amazon in the year 2014, truly the greatest radio show going on right now.

Yeah, he really is getting stuck on a loop with that, starting to sound a bit daft. I guess you can only keep pace with technology for so many years, and then you just stop? Well, maybe just slowing down... he isn't quite at that Ben Stern "Stack of VCRs" stage yet.

Do you guys think that Howard paid someone to show him how to operate a DVR (I'm assuming even he has one by now), and if so, how much did said person get paid? I'd say high four/low five figures.

I don't know if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying but Howard has a permanent person to just record poo poo on his DVR. He's said this on air a few times I think. As far as money goes it's gotta be in the 4 figures.

I was just wondering if he would pay someone to show him how to operate a DVR (which is easy to learn for yourself), but having a person to tape poo poo for you is some next-level bougie poo poo.

I only ask because I know he paid that one guy like, 30 grand to hang a door.

But it sounds like he had one hell of a life

Of course, he should have cut everything out and spent his time agonizing about eating half a frozen banana.

It's also incredible that Howard will pay somebody like 50 GRAAAAND to install a door, but poor JD is living in a hostel.

The fact that Howard consistently hired the dumbest, laziest, most hosed-up/incapable individuals to work on his show and then yelled when nothing got done correctly is why his show is (was) the greatest of all time.

"Leno, Letterman, Conan....they all hire Harvard guys. We have Stuttering John." And to be fair, I don't know what JD makes, but I am sure it is on par with his actual ability.


Err wait, Howard's not the boss. So whoever actually hired those guys is a genius.

JD got killed this morning, in a good way, mostly by Will. And that Asian Pete game has gotta be one of the hardest they've put together. Good thing Howard is being a little tougher on callers when they don't win, it was getting to be too much before they started cracking down on the second chances.

Another thing Howard has no room to criticize anyone about : Getting mad about Ted Nugent mispronouncing "Weinstein" when "you know he knows the proper pronunciation." Howard does that ALL THE TIME with M. Night Shyamalan and Zach Galifianakis!

Let's not forget the time they interviewed Gerard Butler and Robin called him "Jared" twenty times.

I suspect it was a Freudian slip because of her crush on Tim's assistant.

On 101 today there was a segment from 2004 when K.C. won $330k from GoldenPalace.com and proceeded to lose it all back within a week.

Am I misremembering or wasn't it later revealed this was some kind of fake publicity stunt?

No I remember that bit. I dunno if it's fake, it legitimately seems like something K.C. would do.

Part of the problem was that the site (ingeniously) wouldn't let him withdraw his entire balance at once so he would just fritter away huge chunks of it waiting for each individual withdrawal to go through.

I'm listening to a clip of Scott the Engineer talking about bowling. Normally I would laugh at Scott any day of the week, but this is so heartbreaking. You can tell bowling is like, the one joy in his life (along with smoking). He sounds like an actual live, human being with hopes and dreams (instead of a sad-eyed, broken man) when he answers the gang's questions. Of course, he gets laughed at and goofed on the entire time because he's Scott the Engineer. It's one of the few times I've heard him sound close to anything remotely resembling happy.

On the show on the day after 9/11, Robin goofed hard on Scott as how he was more bummed out about his bowling game being cancelled than the actual attacks. It's pretty loving good radio.
