Great post, OP. I'd say Robin's been with the show closer to 30 years since 1981-82 in DC, and may also note that Will is not only the most normal, but also the most intelligent with an IQ of 130 beating Scott DePace's 122.

Howard always says he wants to get off the air by 10, does it for a few days, and then goes back to leaving around 11. I would be very surprised if he sticks to getting off at 10. Sirius could've easily offered Bubba an exclusive contract for like $5 million a year, he would've been happy and they'd have another actual radio performer exclusive to them. Instead, they give Oprah, Martha Stewart, Jamie Foxx, and Eminem huge contracts for poo poo product. I suspect that's what made Bubba turn down the syndication deal.

I love how everyone is down on Richard for having a side band. Gary just said "so if you don't make any money, why do you do it?" I'm glad Richard is standing up for himself. Edit: I do love Sal's racist raps and logic. musclecoder fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jan 5, 2011 |

Big Bob Pataki posted:Wait they were giving Richard poo poo for having a band? Pure jealousy. Howard even said "why don't you go make some phony calls while on your break?" It was pretty rage inducing. And this isn't ragging on one of Jackie's lovely CD's, Richard was a legitimate metal drummer for years. Dude has insane talent. And Richard can play the intro to Hot For Teacher, he did it without much warmup either.

Really, howardstern.com sucks. The HTML behind it is horrible and in no way set up to be indexed well. The fact that unique URL's are hard to come by (notice clicking Show Rundown keeps you at howardstern.com) is bad too. Frames? In 2011. Really? Like a lot of things un-related to his show or content he's directly responsible for producing, it's horrible. Also, Wikipedia has more PageRank than god so that's why it ranks above howardstern.com (it shouldn't if howardstern.com was built well).

Former Human posted:I don't know how Fred does it. I timed it: On Tuesday when Howard mentioned he tried green drink at a restaurant but put vodka in it, Fred hit the "vodka straight up thank yooouuuu" clip 2.4 seconds later. I always imagine Fred's system at Sirius like typing a Google search where it does the type-ahead find. So he can start typing "vodk" and it'd show all clips with that in it's title/description/meta-data and then he can just click and play one. What's more impressive is when this wasn't on the Prophet system and he was using carts. One time Howard even tested him by making up some story about walking through dark woods and Fred was right there with sound effects.

burmart posted:Am I the only one that wonders if Howard was paid off to rave about the song "Big Big Bang?" Something just didn't seem right about him loving the song. He talked about that today, that everyone always accuses him of being paid off to talk about things. Why do you think it's odd he likes that long? He likes tons of other poo poo (like lovely TV and some top 40's stuff).

therapy posted:Beth is pushing 40 now, and as you get to that age your risk of birth defects during pregnancy skyrockets, especially stuff like Down Syndrome. A friend of mine said the best thing that could happen to the show is for Beth to get pregnant with a Down's baby and Howard has to raise it for the next 18 years. More like raise until Howard dies, unless it's a kid like Gary the Retard who can somehow live on his own. Wendie still lives with her mother. Although calling his kid on the air would be funny: "Has Dick Cheney ever raped you?" "Yes" "Are your pants full of poo poo right now?" "Yes" "Are you a retahd?" "Yes"

liz con queso posted:Man, you people are difficult to impress. It's not like I'm in side-splitting laughter the entire time I'm listening to the show, but it definitely makes me smile and brings my mood up every time I get in the car. I am super grateful he extended the contract another 5 years, because I was sorta/kinda getting into panic mode thinking about having no Howard in the morning. I'm the same way. I bet everyone in this thread listens to all 4 hours of the show every day, and we're goons and Stern fans, so we complain because we love. It will be weird when he's off the air for good.

My Twitter account is @leftnode but it's mainly about software  I'll be interested to see what Howard thinks on Monday about using Twitter. It definitely fits him better than Facebook. He gets it because it's just a place to write down your inane thoughts, post pictures, etc. I think someone registered @HowardStern a long time ago specifically so they could be the person to give him the name if he ever got on. If you search for "howard stern" on Twitter, there's a bunch of accounts like "theRealHoward" and "howardThe_Real" and what not. Each of their About Me section is like "contact me@address.com if you're really Howard and want to claim this account."

I was let down with the strip club clips this morning, especially with how long he delayed playing them. Giving Ronnie poo poo for being a 70 year old guy at a strip club acting like that is a highlight for me.

FogHelmut posted:What is this conversation about doing commercials? It's bad when Jay Leno does it, but not when Howard spends half the day doing live reads. While I see your point, I think Howard would say that commercials are part of how he makes his living (at least, it was during terrestrial days, not as much now obviously) but Jay did a commercial for no other reason to do a commercial. Or something.

Djarum posted:In the last SEC filing Sirius said they earned about $65,000 from commercials. Either there is something wrong with that or their ad rates are so low it is not worth having them. We should make a fake company website and order a commercial on Sirius. Make it so wacky of a product and commercials that we make a mockery of it. That's 65,000 x 1000. At least, according to their quarterly report for July 1st - September 30th, they made $12.418 million dollars from advertising revenue. http://investor.sirius.com/common/download/sec.cfm?companyid=SIRI&fid=950123-09-58553&cik=908937 So I imagine they made $65 million in advertising revenue, not $65,000.
