I suspect Fafa Foohi is going to need to ebay some of those pieces of vinyl he has sooner than later. I'll give him $20 for 50 Ways To Rank Your Mother.

Kinda suspect that Howie is deadset on Sirius caving last minute and offering him the money he wants when in reality its not going to happen leaving him the one who will be forced to blink. Whether or not the show continues elsewhere, if a deal isn't reached with Sirius then this poo poo is going to end next week extremely awkwardly as I wouldn't be surprised if he got a major rude awakening behind the scenes that nobody could shield his ego from. And if they continue on elsewhere its not like he will have the 6-12 months to aggressive promote it like he did before going to satellite so that would increase the odds of the next possible endeavor being DOA unless he spent a ton on some kind of promotional media blitz which ain't happening. If he was actually completely decided on retiring there's no way in hell that the show would be ending with such a whimper. Recalling how much of a spectacle was made out of his 60th birthday party I imagine he would be making quite a big deal about ending what has been his life's work and that he is forever the King of All Media blah blah baba booey while getting verbally sucked off by the staff sycophants and Hamptons celebrities over the course of 10-12 shows building up to some sort of finale. Should be interesting, but I'm expecting either a trainwreck (or next week to be Mammary Lane without explanation, but I'm guessing that would legally not be an possible due to breach of contract). We'll see.

It's kind of sad, really. The Sirius jump, as stated, had months of promotion, and it happened at what, the height of his career basically? Like if anything would convince people to pay for Howard content, it was early 2000s when he had a couple solid decades of quality content behind him and a massive following, not to mention constantly making headlines for FCC fines and outrages. If he drops something new literally next week, it would be a disaster. Even longtime fans note the extreme drop in quality the show has seen, promotion would be impossible and he would be "making GBS threads in the wind" or whatever he calls it, when anybody decides to start up a new podcast-type endeavor, there's just so much white noise for that poo poo and if he thinks for a second he has any clout in that field after making GBS threads on it relentlessly for like a decade he's in for a rude awakening. Nobody will promote that poo poo, so unless he's appearing on talk shows (and even then, do people care enough for him to be a guest?) he's gonna be, yup, DOA.

I think a lot of Stern fans have a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that the guy is in his 60s and has more money than god. The show has been slowly petering out since Artie tried to kill himself, and its been a long time since Howard the egomaniac or Howard the attention whore has reared its head to the mass-market - even something like AGT was always just a cushy paycheck. I can totally see Howard quietly going off the air for good and spending the rest of his life surrounded by blind cats and his dopey wife in their house with 47 chimneys. If you think about it - what would a celebration of his career even be at this point? Most of the old guard like Joan Rivers or Gilbert are either dead or not welcome. The whack pack is old and tired. Jackie's reunion was done during the last K-Rock days. Billy wants nothing to do with him. Stuttering John is banned. Tom is retired. The Howard TV crew were all burned by the layoff a few years ago and already scattered around the country. Revisiting landmark bits or segments is a no-go since most of that has either been white-washed or hidden away. I guess you could repeat the birthday show and have a bunch of celebrities sit around and jerk Howard off but even that feels a bit anticlimactic. Personally I think he will be back with Sirius (in more of a part-time gig), and I do think there's enough left of the old grandstanding Howard to make a big fuss about it if he were really retiring, but I also don't think it would be crazy if he left one day for good with little fanfare. Hell, in keeping with most of his career maybe that would be one of the most original and 'shocking' things he could do.

Robin commented on it, and he quickly got off the topic, there was a bit of dead air for a bit and they started in on something else.

I like the idea of the entire channel being replaced with a lovely soft hits/AC format overnight with no notice. Howard is just gone one day and gets replaced with a morning zoo crew hosted by Shuli. It would be the most radio conclusion to Howard's career possible.

The show's not ending with wonderfully fresh bits like Flat Ronnie in the fires. But seriously, someone should tell Howard there's such a thing as Photoshop. I guess he's thinking that it's a way to throw a show reference in during a live event, but it doesn't beat the elegance of some jerk just yelling "Baba Booey" over a newscaster's shoulders or during an announcer's play-by-play.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...omepage%2Fstory Front page article about Howard on the Washington Post, it doesn't really tell us anything new except quote:"Howard has become a lot of the things that he always told people not to become,” says comedian Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling, who left Stern’s show in 2001. When Martling’s cat Timmy died in the ’90s, Stern relentlessly teased his distraught staffer. But these days, with his second wife, model and animal lover Beth Ostrosky, Stern is sheltering 18 cats in his house and has been known to tend personally to a sick cat’s backside with baby wipes. The shock jock who once held nothing sacred has mellowed in a most dramatic way.

A Hasidic Jew was charged with aggravated assault as a hate crime because he beat up Elegant Elliot Offen and yelled homophobic slurs at him(probably because Elliot was in drag). I find all of this hilarious.

Riosan posted:https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...omepage%2Fstory This is probably the most apt description for the show's change I've ever heard. Blame Marci Turk, blame Howard's age, blame Beth, blame whatever you want, but the facts are Howard is unwilling to act the way he used to. Problem is, millions of fans loved the way the show was, and changing it is going to weed out everyone but the Mariannes who just want to jerk off Howard and support literally anything he does, from adopting cats to going all milquetoast for America's Got Talent. I wish I could have been in that car. Artie is at his best when he feels supported and loved, oddly enough for someone whose humor is so aggressive and demeaning, he really only goes both barrels when he has the go-ahead. He hasn't really been as funny since he had a room full of people cheering him on, and especially respect from someone he admires (father issues, anyone?), i.e. Howard employing him. Must have sucked to have been dumped by his father figure.

My mom was cooking and there was some leftover provolone and she wrapped it in cellophane and it said $9.99 on the provolone. She goes "You gotta return this for Howard". It was used provolone, though. So I go to the deli and I go "I gotta return this" and the guy goes "What are you talking about? This is used." and I go "I gotta. I gotta return it for Howard." He goes "i don't care who... it's used." and I said "Please, I'll give you money to return it". Like, I wanted to pay him. and he says "No, I can't." I got real nervous and I go "But if it doesn't happen, then this is what will happen to me." There was a poster on the wall in the deli. I don't remember what the poster was. It was some magic marker just scribbled. And when I pulled the poster down there was a picture of guns and knives. And then I woke up.
