Chris Rock said it best with 'if I had to talk on the radio for 4 hours a day I'd say some hosed up poo poo too.'

I try to remember that when I get annoyed by a bit or something in general on radio shows.

I know some goons used to post collections of people like Eric the Midget, does anyone have a collection of Chris Rock clips? I'd love to listen to him bust Howard's chops.

Does Chris Rock even go on the Stern show anymore?

Has Stern talked about the fact that a Stern porn parody is being made? They have to be aware of it by now.

Some people like not having to have a car, not having to drive 20 minutes to do something, having public transportation available.

This is true, but New York City is still the worst big city. I'd pick almost any other "no car needed" city over NYC.

Seriously...this is exactly how I feel. I have a good friend who lives in Dallas (which is a beautiful city) but all I could think when I was there was I couldn't live there without a car.

Have you been to Seattle, Chicago, and Portland? All great cities with good public transportation. Much cleaner than NYC, too.

The E! Show was a entirely different beast than Howard TV. For one they only had to create at most 2.5 hours of new content a week and most of the time they didn't really do that. It was more organic as they were just filming what was going on in the studio. Over the years they did start to worry more about having a visual element to all the radio bits but the audio presentation always came first. This has changed completely for Howard TV, where it is a television bit and they are just playing the audio on the radio.

Also most the good talent that worked on the E! show left before the transition to Howard TV. Look at who you have working there, do you honestly think that any of them could or would have jobs in television anywhere else? There is a reason why they didn't leave, it is because they couldn't.


Man, I really miss the E! show. We didn't get Stern in my city (Toledo Ohio) and the E! show was how I kept up with the Stern show. I was really sad when they ended it.

Wouldn't it be great if Howard decided to call it quits and the majority of his staff went to the Artie Show? That's the best outcome when Howard ends the show.

So her and Howard aren't living together anymore then I assume? He's in the city most nights I would assume, but for the end of the end and probably only weekends during AGT.

Considering Howard is only on the air 3 days a week and Beth is quoted as saying she's in the city 2 days a week, it's quite possibly they're only not together one or two nights a week.

One of the best parts of Crash and Burn is how many heroin induced car accidents Artie gets into, it's like a fact of life for him.

As somebody who was close to a heroin addict, this is a pretty common occurrence. Happened at least 5-6 times over a few years.

Dice was always pretty good on the radio. Back in the very old days, when he'd occasionally hang out for the news, it was better than his comedy act.

I've only started listening to Stern again in the past month or so, does he

1) Have any comedians on anymore besides Joan Rivers and Lisa Lampanelli?
2) Have comedians (or anybody else, for that matter), sit in on the news?

I really miss that aspect of the show. While I still enjoy listening (there seems to be a memorable bit once a week, ie; I'm a big turtle whose pregnant and Ronnie's Christmas tips), you can really tell they're on autopilot at this point.

Did anyone here listen to Artie's interview on WTF with Marc Maron? It reminded me of all the best Artie moments of the show when he was in his prime. In his honor I'm listening to Artie fight with Sal & Richard - and it's surprising how vicious it got between Sal & Artie. Anybody know if they ever made up?

It's a shame we won't see people like Sal or Richard on the Artie Lange Show until Howard quits for good.

Now that the Birthday Bash is over, I have to ask - in your opinion, what is the "Golden Era" of Stern? I was largely an E! viewer growing up and enjoyed Stern after he made the jump to Sirius. I'd love to go back and listen to old episodes but it's very intimidating - there's just so much to choose from.

The Artie impression is hilarious, too.

With this and the absolute classic "Who's High Pitch?!", he's got some amazingly memorable moments on the show from that era in this call.

He's still an absolutely disgusting person, of course...

His best prank call is the one where he calls to ask about some cream for his twat.

I said earlier in this thread that Sirius should offer Howard another contract just to make sure that he doesn't go anywhere, but now that it's clear that he is not capable of working at all, they shouldn't even bother resigning him. They will though. Sirius is the stupidest company.

Don't you guys know it's a federal holiday? President's Day. Of course Howard has it off.

"J.D. Harmeyer sleeps in roach infested squalor while billionaire Howard Stern spends $10 million GRAAAAND on a closet for his wife!"

Obviously Stern has the money and he can't take it with him when he dies, but I couldn't imagine him ever needing a house this big. Could you imagine how neurotic he would be if that house was full of people when he is down there on vacation?

Howard now, to me at least, is more interesting and entertaining just to listen to him talk about stuff. Maybe it's because he is older and I am way older and a dad and a business person instead of a horny 15 year old but I don't know. He's kind of like a chill dude. The bits aren't as memorable and Sal and Christy dont really do all that much for me.

I'm fine with them not bringing in porn stars or girls to get naked nowadays, but Howard just talking is incredibly boring in my opinion. It's always AGT, technology he doesn't understand, what TV shows he watches, or making fun of nerds.

I really miss the in-office drama, contests, bits, and general comedy that a sidekick like Artie brought to the show.

It's because money is what Howard wants, and he wants to feel that that's the normal and correct motivation for a person to have. He won't talk about the bowling alley in his basement, but he tries to get similar info about the guests to reassure himself.

I really wish more guests would turn the tables on Stern and ask things like, "Well, did you get a prenup when you married Beth?".
