I just saw that the 7 year license is beyond the next 5, so they actually have the archive licensed for 12 years. Will this delay the launch of Howard 360???

At this point, Howard will BE 360 when he retires.

He's definitely never going back to an actual studio. He said working from home made the decision easier for him.

He will be back in studio. He has mentioned it many times this year that while he doesn't miss the commute, he does miss face to face. That said, I bet this deal opens him to doing shows from home post COVID, like a week in studio interviewing people and a week from home just playing clips and bits.

It's a poor testament to the quality of the show that I am actually disappointed Howard didn't retire.

I still listen and enjoy it most of the time, but yeah I really wanted him to up for a year or two and just do a goodbye tour. Sirius definitely needs to get a second show on H100 to start building up a replacement.

I don't want to get too morbid, but I also thought given Robin's health issues that maybe now would be a good time for a break. I have no idea what Howard would do if Robin died before the contract expired...

He said after she beat cancer that he would have ended the show if she died. I would expect he still feels that way and would either be released of his contract or switch to some other role.

Well, let's celebrate the show a bit...

Whether it's Tradio, Public Access, or just regular calls, what's your favourite (or maybe top 3) Richard and Sal phone bits?

I'd probably say:

1. Hugs for Harlem - Ball-busting at Level Red
2. Richard's super useful barometer
3. Sour Shoes vs Steve Langford

Honourable mention to "dropping huge loads... of dirt" and of course, the Mike Walker fart, though I wasn't really thinking of that kind of bit, that doesn't involve broadcasters trying to deal with the guys.

Sal and Richard calling trick daddy's internet show as gay black guys.

Do you guys ever have weird memories of what you were doing when you were listening to something on the show?

I have one when I was listening to Artie and Gilbert being incredibly offensive and it was funny because they were out of control and Howard was pretty uncomfortable with it. It was probably 15 years ago but I remember driving in my car, summer day, sun shining, and I was driving in Montreal towards the casino with the water on the side and a bridge ahead of me.

Man, I wish it wasn't a memory about something insanely racist.

When Bigfoot told the story about getting paid to finger his mailman, I was pressure washing my old deck to prep for paint/seal.

I also love listening to Stern while traveling internationally because it helps a lot with home sickness. It also results in plenty of weird looks when you snicker on public transit. I listened to the Trevor Noah interview last year while very unsober on good beer in Brussels. I was listening to the John the Stutterer "Win John's Job" recording while stuck on the DLR line in London due to an early snow storm. I listened to that same Artie-Gilbert thing during morning rush hour on the Yamanote line in Tokyo...

I did the classic “had to pull over and stop on the side of the road on the way to work because I was dying of laughter” when KC was chasing a terrified and nearly nude High Pitch Erik around the studio with a dead fish like a middle school bully.

I just love Richard's calls because he can work clean. Also "mouth full of salad" is now a catch phrase with me and my wife.

In the entire history of calls on this show, this might be the most original in concept.


And sometimes I think he needs to run for office and be the best filibusterer we've ever seen!

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I also remember being in my friend's van when I heard that Howard was leaving Montreal radio. I was so pissed.

Back Office Stern show rumors:

Friend of mine works on the show and he told me to post what I want but to keep him under wraps.

Brent was asked not to come back and settled for a 25,000 dollar severance pkg

Howard has two phones. Personal and company. Personal phone has like 5 people in it. Company phone gets forwarded to Marci and she handles who talks to howard.

Howard is done after this yr and has told most of his employees but the people who Sirius employs will be put to work in different aspects. Sal and Richard are in talks for their own show. Howard has already signed a deal with another company to do a David letterman type interview show for 10 episodes

Shuli cheated on his wife and a back office employee told his wife. Shuli went into a rage and made the decision to get out of there and follow his wife and kids

No one from the show knows anything about what artie is doing

I’ll be back for more. And to those of you who will be like, he’s full of poo poo and he’s obviously lying, I don’t care. That doesn’t change the truth

A lot of listening happened while I was at work, reviewing porn, so... y'know...

But OTHERWISE, I have a lot of memories listening to clips while driving on the 20 or 40 West, out of Montreal, into the west island at the end of each day. Clips I had downloaded onto my phone to save data. I also used to listen to clips while I'd be doing some menial digging in Minecraft, or playing through Doom trying out a shitload of mods.

The show really does go well with mindless videogames.

I remember working the front desk during a temp security job and listening to the first show after they got the rights to the tapes back. It was the first time I heard the Booey love tape & Gilbert asking that guy to repeat the joke over and over again. I had to keep hiding my headphones from the staff members who kept bugging me every five minutes to raise/lower the heating on their floor (it just occurred to me that I was the living petcock)
