I just hate that he is not being honest. Not about Bubba, not about his schedule, not about the fact that he can't get a guest to save his life. Just be honest.

Yay, new thread!

I think it's safe to say at this point that the show is in decline... it's still worth listening to, and it still produces great radio on occasion. But that begs the question: at what point did it 'jump the shark'?

Opinions, please.

I like to think that it was when Artie left but I think it was actually before that. I feel like with out Artie's drama, the show would have been horrible for the last 3.5 years of the previous contract. It had something new and magical when they first came over but shortly after that they started going to 4 days and it was just bland.

He was only doing 20% of the shows he did during his first three years, so an 80% paycut seems pretty reasonable.

The only reason they had him doing the one day a week is because they wouldn't offer him enough money to do 4 days a week. I think a lot of people think that he went from one contract to this one but there was a lovely contract in between.

Wait so the Wrap Up show ends at 11 now?

Moniker
Mar 16, 2004
So the show is gonna be done at 10:00 no matter what now. I know he hasn't stuck to it before but it's gonna be for real this time. I just don't get why the wrap up show is only an hour. It really makes no sense. He should let them create their own content and form a new show off of it since there is no other original content besides Farrell. The state of the channels is really depressing to me right now. (

I think both shows will ease up on that as time goes on.

I don't think so. Otherwise The Wrap Up Show would be ending at 12:00 instead of 11:00. I can see this being the case for the next 5 years.

Interestingly, none of the sites that come ahead of him on Google are link farms - it's Wikipedia and an article about him on mtv.com.

I know a bit about SEO, but barely enough to be intelligible - wouldn't some fine tuning on their part increase their ranking? Google's got specific algorithms for how they figure out rankings, right?
Let me preface this by saying that I know jack poo poo about the web but I think one thing that would help would be for howard to actually have good content on his website so other sites would actually want to post links to his site. The more sites linking in, the higher your page rank is. Besides that, if he had a heading on his show review like "Howard Stern - Jenna Jameson rides the sybian in studio" that would turn up more search results for people searching for Jenna Jameson (or who ever the celebrity was that day) and in return would help with searches.

Basically if he just had content on his site he would get a higher page rank because he would have more sites wanting to link in since his site wouldn't suck so much anymore.

Not to be all lame and complaining like normal !!!!BUT!!! A few years ago (even before the Artie drama) I used to get home from work and see 20-30+ replies to this thread and now there might be 10 or 11. Besides that, even on days when there was no show, there used to be a lot more posts than what we have. The show has really lost it's luster for me.

I, however, am looking at the bright side and am really looking forward to the psychological exams that they took! I hope it says Robin and Howard and just mental cases and that JD and Benji are normal. (assuming JD took it)

I remember Howard saying that he has Beth cut his toenails because he can't see clearly down there because of his failing eyesight. Urgh. He has the worst mommy fixation. I bet she's thrilled to be down there too. :barf:

That's really not a big deal at all. I have my girl trim my back hair for me. I could get it if I tried but it's easier. I don't have mommy issues. I think people read way too far into the guy sometimes. The dude is old and probably can't see anything so she does it for him.

I love that Robin was busted eating fries and ketchup at a restaurant with Tim.

Her unprocessed foods and green drink poo poo is probably what she wants to project for the show. I'm sure she really does eat the "healthy" food and green drinks, but then sneaks the crap food when she can.

You have got to be kidding me?! God I hate her more and more every day. She was the voice of reason back in the day, now she's just a voice.

You know how we are ALWAYS talking about Howard's lovely taste in music? I was at a pep rally at an elementary/middle school the other day, when a song started blaring out over the loudspeaker and the kids went loving apeshit. They were dancing and losing their loving minds because they were so excited to hear this song.

So as I am listening to it, I realize it sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't place it. At the exact same moment I realized: "Oh hey! Howard went through a stage where he was playing this song" and then, "WTF...this is "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus."

Definitive proof that Howard has the taste of a middle school/elementary school girl.


I wonder if he even knows how to quite yet? It's not the easiest thing to figure out how to find people on there. I'm more well-schooled than the average person who uses Twitter and even I get confused.
He's following a lot of other people on there. (like Adam Carolla :smithicide: )
