After the marriage is when it really fell over as far as I'm concerned. The beginning of the end though was when Sal told the horse joke at one of the roasts and Beth got all put out over it so Howard prevented anyone from making jokes about her. I honestly think that the show would be better if they had a goal or some kind of competition. When they were on FM, it was always a war with management, the FCC, station managers, etc. At Sirus everyone kisses his rear end and reminds him on a daily basis how great he is. When they first got to Sirius, all the rage on the show was directed at CBS and getting the tapes back. Then it was war with XM and soon the FTC over the merger. There is no incentive to be edgy anymore. If you can sit on top the mountain relying on the same bits and guests on a 3 month rotation and no one can knock you down, why even try?

Sock The Great posted:He was only doing 20% of the shows he did during his first three years, so an 80% paycut seems pretty reasonable. This is true but they have been slowly lowballing him ever since he signed up. Sirius loving around with his contract is the reason he had to go back to FM. Then Sirius offered him less money even when they were doing two shows a day which is why we now have (had) a replay during the week and only one live show.

heavy liquid posted:Don't worry. He has some AMAZING things planned. He's just waiting for the technology to catch up with all the crazy things he wants to do. I remember way back when that he bought the howardstern.com domain but didn't have a site up claiming, "For what I want to do, technology hasn't caught up with yet". A year or so later I checked the site and it was either a picture of Beth or that loving recipe for engagement chicken.

FogHelmut posted:Howard mentioned today he's having a meeting with Tim to try to get things moving on getting Bubba back in some capacity. Funny that he gets involved now. I can't believe they (Sirius Management) never had a plan B. I'm guessing there will be no more live Sirius shows and Bubba would just charge them a syndication fee to replay a previsouly recorded show.

Ether Frenzy posted:Howard bitched about his computer system today, mentioned that you couldn't read all the words in the boxes, and then yelled at Gary that his mouse wasn't working so I think we cleared up the touch-screen question. I wonder how old that system is. If that computer is only running the "Gary preview page noine" program why does it lock up all the time? I bet you the mouse if connected via serial port or something, it's so old.

Sizzlechest posted:Regarding whether or not the interviews are fake, I do think some of the "guests" do sound alike. The guy from the Kirk Douglas/Crackhead Bob interview sounds a lot like the guy from the Dick Clark one. I don't necessarily think they're faking the whole thing. They may do an interview with a book author, but get a voice actor to redo the whole thing since they can't get the okay from the original person. I have my doubts about this since you'd figure they'd make everyone sign something beforehand to give Sirus the right to do anything they drat well please. On the other hand, maybe they're so afraid of getting sued like Sacha Baron Cohen that they re-record them. Then again, why not just do that with the calls they can't get permission on? I remember a while ago them saying that Richard had the ability to talk to these people, calm them down, and then get their permission to play the call. Things like that Blue Iris call where the old lady says "I'll gently caress you with my shotgun". He's also said that there is a collection of really good calls but they can't play them because certain people won't give permission. In the early 90s, the local guys I listened to used to prank call people all the time. They had to stop because management was too scared someone would drop the F bomb and it might get out on the air. I also seem to remember someone saying that the FCC wouldn't allow it anymore. Bubba has also spoken a few times on this regarding Ned's calls. He eluded to the fact that they had to pay the person a "fee" in order to air them so it's easier to just fake it. If you listen to most of Ned's calls, the female "receptionist" voice is almost always the same.

Evil Agita posted:Also he made the Asian nail person come to his house and sign a release about not telling anyone he had his nails done, then got mad when she wanted some more money to come out at do it again. This is pretty much when I knew I was done with the show. He told that story a while ago. She wanted more money because the price of gas went up. Howard thought she was shaking him down because she thought he was a rock star or something. You know Howard, maybe...just maybe she knew you had money when she walked into your 2000 sqft Manhattan apartment to trim your fingernails, a service that people do themselves or they leave their house to get done.

AxeManiac posted:He did, didn't he? I heard he fired her because she was out to rip him off, and raised his rates once she found out who he was, never mind that anyone taking a nail kit to rich kid land to clip toenails would have a pretty good idea she is working with a rich pampered person. What's funny is that he always goes on about how he tips 100% of the bill when he eats out because he knows if he doesn't people will label him as a jerk and a cheapskate. Oh and the reason he had someone come to the house to clip his nails? Beth started doing it for him but was soon disgusted by it.

Ransom posted:Also, what was it that got Chauncey off the show? What about Cabbie? Was it the porno that finally got him banned? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Chauncey kept feeding bullshit stories about Howard to gossip rags. Cabbie was ultimately banned a few years ago. He was in the studio to promote some kind of weight loss supplement and as soon as he walked in Howard told him that he looked fatter then before. The company sued (or tired to) Howard for lost revenue and Cabbie also badmouthed him over the incident. Howard then stated that that would be the last time he would deal with him. I think Artie may have done a few benefits for/with him after but he's not been on the show since.

Bubba met Heather when he was not in radio but he wasn't exactly broke either. The chick that was with Bubba when he was 500lbs and wiped his rear end was another girl. Bubba does not mind if Heather is with other women and it's Brent and his wife Amanda that do the swinging thing. Last I hear Bubba claims his mother and sister cause issues between him and Heather so he's stopped speaking to them. I guess they talk bad about her or something.

Eric's lifespan is always in question. Because of this, I'm sure that since birth he's been coddled and has had his every need looked after and every wish granted. He thinks he deserves things because that's how he's been raised. He wants something, someone feels sorry for him and gives it to him and he doesn't have to do a thing in return. I wish they would have his parents on or someone that knew him well growing up that could shed some light on this. On the other hand, he's just as smart as the rest of the Superfans and whack packers that have no scruples and have figured out how to do nothing in life but use other people up to get a free ride.

I Am a Keg. posted:Also he's really mad at the internet and is threatening to sue Does he ever sue anyone? I think even his lawyer take advantage of him. Howard: YouTube and American Idol take money from me, I want to sue! Lawyer: Well...I don't know Howard. I guess you could...maybe Howard: yeah I guess that would too much trouble Lawyer: yep! Oh look, your retainer is due. That'll be $10,000 please. Howard: Can you take a cheque? I gave my last $500 in cash to the guy that setup the TV in my bedroom. You'd think he'd at least go to settle out of court or something. It's like how his therapist keeps telling him he'll be normal as long as he does three sessions a week.

I think she peaked when the Tommy Lee sex tape was released. I don't get why Howard is all over her either. Has she even been on the show since the move? The last thing I can remember about her was Artie going to the hotel room were they were having a party and that was when they were still at K-ROCK.

You went in thinking that she would just have to sex the old fucker up every so often to keep the money train, and now she has to live with the rear end in a top hat in the plastic bubble. No wonder she loving runs out of the house. Can you imagine Stern bitching every single moment about being clean, then asking her why she won't lick his rear end? He's been with Beth for nearly 10 years and has never had sex with her without a condom.
