A high school buddy (late 80s, early 90s) was a big AV geek and build a radio studio in his basement using staff from Radio Shack. I helped him build a transmitter for a school project and we could actually broadcast about mile away. He ran the soundboard at his church and got the attention of a program director for a pretty big AM station in the Midwest. The guy took him under his wing and showed him how to produce talks shows and play music and commercials during a real on air shift. Soon they let him do weekend nights, graveyard shifts etc. If was kinda cool because I'd go hang out with him and we'd hassle the drunks that would call and request songs. Pretty soon he was the producer for a major call in talk show, making really good money and going to college. 5 years after he graduated he left the radio industry because he'd done as much as he could. I guess he had some foresight because Clear Channel started buying up all kinds of stations and firing long time talent. I ran into him again during a big IT project and he was working as a DBA for IBM. A few years ago he got an offer to an the Director of IT at an NBC affiliate and now he runs the boards and produces college football and basketball games.

Jon Johnson. Also something I think was long forgotten about but I'll add in: Eric alluded to being lactose intolerant which obviously isn't a very serious thing but is funny that it was yet another problem on that long list of health issues he had that seemed to stretch a mile long.

Then again, the stupid fucker is still calling himself 'Stern Fan Mutt' like that's some kind of accomplishment. It's hilarious that Howard's ego is so fragile that a loving fan show threatens him. What a goddamn baby. euphronius posted:Why would anyone work in radio. Indeed. Mr Lance Murdock posted:Anyway, in 2006 Hogan had sex with Bubbas Ex wife Heather. This is the most trashy thing I've ever heard. Who the gently caress lets poo poo like that out of their sight? Bonzo posted:He's not wrong and that is what I loved about the show. Bubba allows the trashing and teasing to continue because it's great radio. Manson is the more viscous person if you ask me because his (and Ned's) song parodies are incredible. I think Bubba's illusion of humility came from his low self-esteem and self-worth. He somehow twisted that into some degradation fetish that circled around his wife being dominated by other men. While Howard is a pompous rear end in a top hat who demands respect, we shouldn't give Bubba too much credit here. He had issues, they were just better for radio in the long run. And I do admit, I wish I had his Sirius shows saved somewhere as when they were good they were GOOD. Especially all the crazy stunt stuff. gently caress, you guys are going to make me look on YouTube for this poo poo, aren't you? Dammit. Your Gay Uncle posted:Yeah but he was eating Kraft Velveeta mac and cheese, I don't think anything dairy related has been put in that. It's mostly plastic and lovely flavoring. You'd think that someone that hosed up would try to enjoy what little they have by making it worthwhile, but that's Eric the Midget for you. Motherfucker came into the world looking like a rag doll that a semi ran over and said 'finer things? gently caress that poo poo, I'm going to have my high school friend wipe my rear end and eat from a dollar store.' No wonder he hung on hold for Stern, that really was the best part of his day. Outside of waiting and see if Dollar General got their discount clown hair coloring in.

Right, but Howard has layers and layers of protection from guys like Joey, and Mutt doesn't. He willingly let Mutt take the fall, probably because he knew that he would do it. Howard could have let Joey get angry at him, and then used it on the air for material. That's what old Howard would have done.

Anyone have any weirdly specific memories tied to the show? Reading "hugh jasshole" from above made me think of the Jay Leno / Ed mcmahon audio book poo poo they did back in I think 2007. I was playing Half Life 2: Episode 2 in college listening to that that for the first time and I was in this blue underground cave/well area trying to get an elevator to work and I can see this level clear as day every single time I start thinking about Jay Leno saying "rear end in a top hat?"

Too bad they only do audiobook stuff now when it is a member of their staff. It must be due to Dolly Parton trying to sue them over what they did to her book. "Kenny Rodgers' beard smells like boy cum."

I had just moved out of my parents house and was living on my own when Howard went to Sirius. I still remember the first day when they were doing the staff revelations, I got a big sandwich and a coke and just sat by my dumb sirius sportster radio to listen to it. I was genuinely excited about it all.

I started listening to NYC stations, and I found WNBC shortly after Howard had left. The afternoon replacement guy had some fraud "I was the 5th Beatle" guy on, and was clearly trying to get the callers to harass him... but instead all the callers were ripping on him for being a lovely Stern replacement. The host lost poo poo a few times, it was great. The next morning I tuned into KROQ on the school bus, and just as Fred was playing a bit: "The Homo Olympics".

I started listening to the show when they moved to Sirius. It was around this time that I got my first ever job (it was a lovely cleaning job that I did to get through college). It was those golden years of the show that got me through some horrible days at work. I used to listen to it on my first ever Mp3 player. There are three instances where I remember having to excuse myself in work cos I was laughing so hard. I'll always remember that they were - Nick Di'Paolo's joke during the Artie roast - "Robin was in the Air Force, I thought it was only the Wizard of OZ that let monkeys fly" A segment about dance crazes like the Twist, where Howard was going to invent a dance based around Anne Frank. Richard's version of the Monster Mash, called "Robin's Gash". Man, I would have gone crazy if it weren't the show helping me through some lovely part time jobs. I used to look forward to work because it was the only time I could listen to the show.
