Goddamn that Big Black call was depressing.

From 200, Howard is recycling show ideas.

quote:

THE STRUGGLE FOR AIR

Howard mentioned that Angry Black was another person he wants to give a show to. Howard said he listened to Angry Black�s audition tape during the weekend and thought it was really funny, despite a few imperfections. Howard then took a call from King of all Blacks, who complained that he should be given a show before Angry Black was handed one. King explained that Angry was ripping off his routine and that he is just �white covered in black.� Howard pointed out that he was thinking about giving both Angry and King a show together, but was concerned that King wouldn�t let Angry get a word in. However, King assured Howard that he was a man of class who would let Angry talk as much as he wanted. Artie commented that if the pairing did happen, he didn�t think he�d be able to understand one word spoken between the two.

and a picture of angry black hahaha

You're both right, it is KOAB. I got it off howardstern.com and it appeared to be labeled Angry Black.

I was irritated to hear Howard scored 2 ipads this weekend. Apple may have rules in place for us plebes but they're going to bend over backwards for celebrities. Especially people in the media that will talk incessantly about their products.

I'm more annoyed with him bragging about it similar to how he has to tell us he's taking pictures for the hamptons magazine and star loving every other weekend. I miss the old Howard that didn't give a gently caress about that poo poo and wasnt married to a c list horse.

They're just blatantly in it for money - they don't believe any of this stuff. There are tons of people like this. They poorly understand science, they make an outrageous claim based on spurious logic like "If you keep your microwave oven too close to your pantry, the radiation from it will make your food radioactive!" and then they come up with a solution to that "problem" that they sell to people.

It's like the first rule of snake-oil salesmanship.

1. Identify a "problem"
2. Define a solution (need not actually work)
3. Convince people they have the problem
4. Sell them your solution
5. Profit

(I know there's no ??? phase, that phase is for actual products)

Wanted: Geiger Counter
March 21, 2011 by Cousin Richie

With all the issues facing Japan and the world regarding radiation spreading globally I wanted to have a way to check my produce and groceries for any traces of radiation contamination before bringing it home. No one wants his or her Romaine lettuce contaminated with radiation, no matter how miniscule. Being an ex-grocer, that�s just how I think. For me, the answer is using a Geiger Counter, GC for short. Allow me to explain why I think it�s essential for everyone to own one and how to use it.

These noisy instruments can come in handy at a time like this. A GC measures radiation. Unfortunately, right now, it�s very difficult to find one. So I would place the ad on an Internet or Social Networking site to find a GC.

My classified ad would read like this:

Wanted: Hand Held Geiger Counter. Looking to purchase six portable hand held Geiger Counters. Must be small, about the size of a deck of cards, easily fits into a pocket. Must have way to shut off sound.

Once I�m lucky enough to find and then purchase said instrument, I can then set about checking any food items I may want to get. Here�s my quiet plan. Carry my GC into a grocery store with the sound off. Very discretely check the products I am interested in purchasing. Romaine, tomatoes, kale, garlic, apples will each be tested in my secretive way. Low radiation levels:buy. High levels:bye bye! In this way I can be an informed consumer and watch out for my family. All information is between me and my GC. I would always follow the prime directive: never bring attention to me or my Geiger Counter.

If you think you may be interested in following my footsteps, there�s a bit more Geiger Counter info you need to know about. Specs are pretty simple, about the size of a deck of cards and small enough to fit into a pocket. Must have sound control with digital or needle gauge. If no earphone jack, then it needs a volume shut off. Price: $ 200- $500.

To be even safer, I would suggest food stores also get their own GCs and test their food deliveries. The food distribution warehouses should immediately start monitoring produce on the loading docks. The earlier in the distribution pipeline the better. Before the warehouse accepts a delivery, a GC must be used to scan the pallet. If it passes, accept delivery. If it fails, refuse it right there on the dock. Label the produce: Certified Geiger Counter Tested. Look for the CGCT label (I just invented this new certification term, what do you think?). I would buy produce with this new label. The CGCT label would become a way to communicate that the produce has been tested and is free of any radioactive materials.

This is not crazy stuff. Reuters reports that an upscale Japanese restaurant in Taiwan is offering radiation checks for its diners

Finally, we come to the end of my GC wanted ad:

Price not to exceed $500 including freight.

Motivated Buyer

I honestly don't know who's more retarded at this point, Cousin Richie or Robin. I'd be more worried about Radon than the radioactivity of my fruits and vegetables.

I might cancel the best of Sirius and the Internet. I still like having XM in the car with the navtraffic but I definitely don't need Howard if he's barely going to be on.

I liked how he said his move to 3 days a week was way down the road like.....a couple months from now. How is that a long period of time when you're working a 5 year contract rear end in a top hat?

A good friend of mine, who's also a fan of Stern, is a lawyer in the same building and he said there were notices up all over about the spraying.

I don't blame Sirius from getting pissed, it's something that would scare guests off from appearing on shows.

Kidd Chris got fired in the middle of his show? That's lovely. I used to listen to him all the time when he was in Philly. Always a great contributor to Howard's show too.

That station broadcasted Howard's show when he was on terrestrial radio. I used to listen to it back then. It was the only rock station in Portland and they switched it to simulcast a shithead Portland conservative.

Was just listening to the super fan show for some dumb reason, but fortunately Mutt had a funny story where he said he was getting threat emails from Eric the Midget.

Turns out the guys on SFN found out that when they purchase something for Eric from his Amazon wish list that he get's a message from Amazon saying he is receiving the item, but then when they cancel the order he doesn't get notified that it's not coming.

So they queued up a bunch of his favorites and then left him freaking out that his free stuff wasn't coming in the mail.

Cruel, but funny.

Holy poo poo that's epic trolling. He deserves everything that happens to him because he's such negative, selfish, pompous midget.

I don't find Corolla funny at all so no loss there. It's probably Howard that is keeping him off his channels because he doesn't find him funny either. I wouldn't be surprised if Kidd Chris is given a show since he'll work for peanuts at this point.

I looked up that Kara chick and apparently she was on American Idol which I am praying to a higher power means Eric the Midget won't be able to resist calling in.

Last time I heard Rock was awesome. It was right after Howard said he was getting married and Rock was killing him for it. "You're going back to SHAWSHANK!!!" "Before you know it you are going to be locked in the basement surrounded by your aquariums again!" and so on. I was dying

How the hell did you not know Kara DioGuardi was a judge on American Idol? Howard talked about her incessantly when she was a judge.

If I didn't know any better I'd say George is a scientologist but he's openly gay, unlike Travolta and Cruise, so Scientology probably wants nothing to do with him. It would be the only explanation for his dumb comments about therapy.

Also, Sal is either bi or in the closet. On the wrap up show he described a situation in the gym where he went to use the blow dryer so he could check out a black dude's cock.

It's actually pretty amazing for traveling or just wanting to watch something where you don't have a tv.

Also Robin's "I was going to watch Fringe until they canceled it" comment made me groan outloud. Ugh she's so goddamn dumb.

David Arquette is great and all but...is there any show greater than the Munsters?

The Wire....oh wait we're talking about terrible schtick comedies that only lasted 2 seasons because it was boring as gently caress. I loving hate it when he goes off about The Munsters. Christ Seinfeld was a million times better than the Munsters.

Also, generally I like David Arquette but sometimes it's impossible to understand what he's trying to say. Somehow he has worse mush mouth than JD at times.

With the old app, I would have problems every now and again, but with the new one, it seriously happens multiple times a time. I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent iOS and everything.

Yeah same to everything. The "lost data connection" happens routinely but the other issue about being logged in elsewhere just started happening yesterday.

Is the show live today? Nick DiPaolo is in studio right now - is this from yesterday?

Edit: Nevermind - the show is just starting 20 minutes late, according to the online stream at least!

Okay, it looks like the online stream is not working. Anyone else having problems? It picks up on yesterday's replay, when Hanzi is on the phone. It cuts out to the John the Stutter song that was in today's intro, then it cuts out with the "Data stream has been lost" message. When it picks back up, it is at the exact same spot - when Hanzi is yelling at Nick DiPaolo. This has happened four or five times in a row.

The app is completely hosed right now. The 100 button is completely blank and if I tap it, it just buffers endlessly.

Also screw Mel for raising rates. Service loving sucks and they're raising rates. Foes he really think he can keep people? Satellite radio isn't cable, there are actually plenty of other viable options for in car audio.

I have no idea how that guy has a 121 IQ. His politics don't even bother me that much, the problem is whenever he gets in an argument with someone he has no logical reason to think the way he does. His arguments are just insane. I have to imagine he's just trolling everyone, or the IQ test is bullshit.

Having an average IQ doesn't mean you're an honest, good person. Scott is basically no better than garbage because of his ego, stubbornness, attitude towards people and pets etc. I don't believe he actually believes his bullshit but he's such a horrible person that he's unwilling to admit he's wrong or that other views/opinions could be right.

I guarantee you that if you asked Howard Stern listeners who the above people are, "Tim and Eric" would be the least known. Let's face it - their humor is very different, most people don't really know who they are, and most people won't really like their show that much anyway. It's definitely funny to me - but I really don't think a lot of people (especially Howard's core audience of people in their 30s/40s/50s) would even remotely like the show.

That being said, Tim and Eric are on the way up and Howard is on the way out, so it's not surprising he's not willing to bother with "new" and interesting acts when he's on auto-pilot so much.

I find it hard to believe the average Stern listener would rather listen to yet another delusional tranny than 2 dudes they've never heard of but are pretty drat funny.
