Is Bubba still a disaster?

Yes.

If you may recall, he started those two channels on RadioIO a few years back and it seems like it was just all one big pump and dump scheme (wouldn't doubt it, considering the company he keeps). After Spice left to do his own show, rumor has it that Bubba got Spice fired from the Bone because that is just the kind of person Bubba seems to be. The Spice Show was actually good, too.

The two main shows on IO were the late morning Shannon Burke Show (which was pretty funny) and the afternoon show with Scott Leger. Shannon Burke also joined Bubba's show on the Bone as well, and he ended up quitting because Shannon lives near Orlando and the Bone is in Tampa.

A few weeks ago, out of nowhere during the Scott Leger show, they were all told that they were fired by the higher ups at RadioIO (the news happened on air, actually). So basically, the two decent shows on the IO stations just disappeared.

Bubba doesn't do anything on his IO stations now, maybe one hour of uncensored radio a week. The rest is crappy filler shows with Manson and his wife, some other terrible shows that are hosted by employees at the BRN, and show replays.

I don't really listen to the Bone show unless Howard is not on, but from what I have heard it is just the same old hacky talk radio, crap bits by Manson, etc. The FM show is just Bubba, Manson/Ned & 25 Cent. Brent left a while ago, moved to CA.

She was banging Hulk Hogan, but I thought that stuff was all Bubba's ideas since he's too fat to gently caress.

Bubba eluded Heather was a star fucker/gold digging whore/she hosed her spin instructor.

It's been eluded that Spice released the Hulk Hogan & Heather sex tape, thus the hate there.

Burke has a podcast and in the first episode he talked about the list Bubba has of people your not allowed to talk to while working for Bubba. Burke was pretty sure he got let go because he had the lawyer from Cowheads Show(who's on Bubbas list) on his show, and bam gone the next day.

She never gave off the gold digger vibe to me. Plus when they started dating he wasn't on the radio. Also I find it funny that he would split with her over that. He knowingly let Hulk gently caress her and they also had threesomes with other porn stars.

However, for years all Bubba would talk about is how Heather always wanted sex but he wasn't into it. In fact he once turned her down so that he could go get a BK stacker.

I do miss the constant songs Ned would make about Brent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNePG9uSS7U

Spice has said he never hosed her and I tend to believe him. He's the one who did the gold digger line about Heather.

I wouldn't call it blogging. It's just a disturbingly detailed rundown.

When Howard went to Sirius they wanted to hire him to do the rundown for the website, but he turned the offer down since they wanted him to write like a normal human being.

Before we engage we should hang back and study their tactics.
Actually, I think he did write synopses for HowardStern.com briefly, but he quit when he discovered they were editing them before posting them, because not having them be minutely detailed would tarnish his integrity or something. Then there was some shitstorm when they kept using his name on the breakdowns for months after he quit.

I don't understand why he insists on writing in prose, instead if just doing a full transcript, if he must be that detailed. He's 90% of the way to a transcript anyway!

I give him a lot of respect for leaving so he could keep doing the rundowns the way he liked them. He might even have been getting a little money for doing them.

I love the way MarksFriggin writes those! I have no idea why. "Disturbingly detailed" is spot on but for some reason it works for me. I read them for years, even though I would listen to the show. Now I do neither! (Well, not regularly, anyway.)

I remember you'd occasionally get a caller who would tell the screener they were there to suck dick, and then they'd sneak in something to make Howard mad. :allears:

MSNBC is 100% at fault here. Why any TV network, in the Year of our Lord 2014, would still take phone calls from random strangers during a live broadcast is beyond me.

Great clip. I'm also of the camp that bad movies and TV shows are stupid to entertain yourself with -- such as any movie with Bruce Campbell in it. gently caress that rear end in a top hat.
