Pretty sure I found this place through Fark, which should tell you how loving old I am. I moved to Canada in late '03 and eventually decided to pay the  because I was bored as poo poo one day. This is more or less my social network since I no longer have a facebook or reddit account.It is amazing that there are so many micro communities on here. The threads in SH/SC are so loving chill and many people there will tell you that they owe their careers to this dead gay forum. I've only met one other goon (that I know of) in real life and I've had offers to hang out with more in my area but that's too much "Worlds Collide" poo poo for me.

I grew up listening to the Sirius era in the car with my dad. He was like the first person I ever heard of that had a satellite radio, and my parents were divorced so I spent a lot of time getting shuttled around on weekends. He'd change the channel if something really outrageous was happening but most of the time I spent in his car, we were on 100 or 101. I still remember losing my poo poo and dropping my McDonald's hash brown the first time I heard the "Lisa Glasberg takes shits at work" news drop in the morning on my way to school. Formative memory lol He stopped listening as time went on (now I know why) and the last time I can remember listening to the show with him was listening to the original Lady Gaga interview when she played Edge Of Glory in 2011. Then it wasn't until like four or five years ago that I really got into it again by listening to YouTube clips while commuting to college. No idea how it started, I think it was a nostalgia fueled "hey maybe I'll listen to Howard Stern again just for fun like I did as a kid". Just kept listening and discovering more stuff and laughing my rear end off nonstop

Howard made it to Fort Myers in like 1997, so I started watching The Howard Stern Interview on E! before it was the radio show and back when E! was a part time channel sharing half a day with the Travel Channel on Storer Cable in ‘93/‘94. Bababooey.

Yeah, Howard wasn't in the market I grew up in until I was in college and not listening to morning radio. Despite that, I had an uncle that loved the show and would record bits on cassette and play them back for me. Then the E! show became a regular watch for me until it faded out. Then a few years later I bought a car that came with Sirius and started listening to Stern for real for the first time and enjoyed it so much I fell down the YouTube rabbit hole to get caught up. To this day I commonly fall asleep at night with an earbud in playing through some old compilation.

I had an ex who's family lived 12 hours away and on holidays when we'd go visit it felt like nothing because we just listened to a week of the show on the way there (thank you stiletto lol)

Stern is actually my cure for homesickness. Before COVID I would travel overseas for work pretty often and I also just love travel in general, but I always make sure to download some Stern compilations before I go to listen to as I fall asleep in random places. It works very well.

I was in 7th grade at the time watching an episode with a porn star or stripper on it, my mom told me he was disgusting and to turn it off, and was hooked immediately. He wasn't in Houston (where I grew up), so I could only watch the E! show and then download full shows once BitTorrent came out in the early 2000's. I'm 37, been reading this site since early 2000's, finally registered in ... 2006?

I'll be 42 in a month, yayyy. I've been on SA for half of my life, reading it well before they switched to ten bux and then I registered. I was mainly into Stern from the E! show, like many others. We had his show in Madison for a brief while but I usually just listened to tapes in my car going to school -- those huuuuuge commercial breaks would have often taken up my whole commute time. I really got more into the show from when KaZaa and LimeWire and all that poo poo came around, so I'd find as many full old shows as I could, along with several shorter bits. I worked at a game developer at the time so I'd be modeling and texturing while listening to Jackie bust Baba Booey's balls and cackling to myself. Now that I think about it, still I listen to old shows all day while modeling and texturing. Jeez.... haljordan posted:"Fred ruins a lot of bits with too many drops" is probably #2.

I just turned 47 a week ago and vaguely recall the first shows I listened to being around 1993 when was going to college. I read Private Parts when it first came out, I was on a spring break trip to Orlando that required killing a couple hours every day while chilling at the pool waiting for some friends who had jobs (they lived there) and picked it up at O'Hare on the way out and became a Howard Superfan from that moment on. I just spent 12 hours yesterday putting ~130gb of Howard shows onto a 160gb iPod Classic. I recorded every Sirius show from day 1 until about 2011, but file sizes on the recordings I made ended up being huge so I didn't keep everything, and am gradually filling in the gaps through downloads, etc. Listening to Howard is perfect in my car, it sounds too good itself to drown it out with loud music but Howard is perfect - so I usually just pick a year and throw on the appropriate dated show to match what day it is currently, that way annual events like Super Bowl, end of Survivor, whatever - are all relatively 'timely' despite being from 2006 or whatever. 2000-2009 were probably the best years for my enjoyment.

I’m 48 and I discovered the radio show around 1997 when I worked at a monument shop doing lettering on gravestones (another story). I mostly worked alone in a big metal barn and my only entertainment was a little boom box. Stuff going on that year was Scott the Engineer’s push-up challenge, everything leading up to Private Parts movie being released, Princess Diana’s death, Marv Albert accused of sexually assault while wearing women’s underwear, among other things. I got hooked on the daily studio drama but one of my favorite things from that time was when Howard caught wind of Magic Johnson’s late night talk show “the Magic Hour” and began relentlessly goofing on how bad a host Magic was. If anyone remembers this went on for weeks and it seemed inevitable that the Magic Hour would be canceled. When Magic himself found out Howard was making fun of him on the air, he graciously invited Howard to be a guest. So Howard said he would go on the show if they let him bring the Losers and a bunch of farters to fart the song Wipe Out. I was so caught up in this whole thing and I remember having to explain to my girlfriend at the time that I absolutely must watch the Magic Hour that night to see Howard Stern and his fart gang. Like most people who didn’t listen to the show she was like oh you like Howard Stern that scumbag who just has strippers and freaks on his show, you actually like that pig? I had to explain that the show is so much more than that and it’s actually entertaining as hell once you give it a chance. She ended up becoming a fan.

Are you responsible for this?  Also, the Magic Hour is some of the greatest ball busting in the history of the universe. I have a 9.5 hour compilation of that poo poo that I listen to all the time.

I am 38, and first started listening to the show around 95 or so, after some weird deacon or bishop came to our school and told us never to listen to him . Pretty soon after that Selena died and after that whole shitshow I was hooked.

I think my first exposure to Howard was his Letterman appearances. I also saw THAT Tonight Show episode where the guests are Siskel and Ebert. Leno was the host and Howard comes out with two lesbians who start making out live on TV which got him banned. I'm too lazy to track it down but I'm sure its on YouTube. To me that was peak Howard Stern. I also remember seeing Fartman live on the MTV Awards and could not believe what I was seeing. When Howard finally came to town, I had a few jobs as a delivery driver and would take the long way if there was a good bit or blame "traffic".

This is really showing my age but, first time I listened to HS was via the E! show in late summer 1997. He wasn’t on our local radio or even in north Florida (I’m from South Georgia). What was the episode that got me started? The infamous Jesus Twins appearance. So hilarious! I remember even getting unnerved by them because they were making GBS threads on Bush and Stone Temple Pilots (my fav band at the time). A week later, the first South Park episode came out. Laughed my loving rear end off. I’m old.

I got back in to the show when I got free Sirius and someone (maybe in this thread?) posted the SS Mund series and I couldn't stop listening until it was over. Then I was getting in shape so spent a lot of time at the gym and it was the Magic Hour series that got me to survive it. I would actually take my time just so I could listen to more. haljordan posted:Are you responsible for this? Which staff member spent some real cash getting this made?

36 here. My first time hearing the show was some lady wanted to be a singer and she was crying saying "I'm real" over and over again. I remember Sal called in saying he was some record label executive and would offer her a contract. Probably 2000 or so.

I'm 36. I remember catching episodes of the E show on the UK version of Bravo and seeing Private Parts when it was shown on TV. It wasn't until he moved to Sirius in 2006 that I started listening full time. You couldn't listen to Stern shows on UK radio, but they were all over Torrent sites. Once I finally got my hands on an early MP3 player (500 whole MB of space!) I needed stuff to listen to during my crappy part-time job, which is what prompted me to start listening regularly.
