If you build your career largely on being the edgy, non mainstream person who took the piss out of celebrity culture, it's not the same when you accept an invite into that club. I think therapy, Beth, and Robin's illness really had major effects on him. He pivoted to remain somewhat relevant and he did. Stern is in his late 60s now, beating porn chicks with baloney would be kind of lame. I don't listen as much as I once did, but I have no issue with Stern evolving. Sting has really bad body odor, when Sting and Trudie left the studio, Robin kept joking that the place needed to be fumigated! by Anonymous Sting later said it was a joke because Howard was being so relentless asking them about their sex life. Howard was the person who got Sting and Trudie to admit they were swingers, IIRC, that was the same interview where all the tantric sex rumors started. I also heard that Crackhead Bob and Beetlejuice died. Gange was the guy who fucked some fug porn actress.
I would tape the show while getting ready for work, then bring the tapes into work, so everyone in my department could listen to the first two hours of the morning show.Īn acquaintance's nephew was also part of the show, Gange, I think that was his last name. Some of the best shows were the LIRR fight and other obscure bits which became classics. I guess Jackie the Jokeman and Billy West are long gone. I gather Howard and Robin are skating on their past glories. When Howard and company moved to Sirius, I refused to pay to listen to radio. I was a fan during the K-Rock and E! show years. The only thing he said/did that I could remotely appreciate in recent years was finally get rid of that psycho Brent guy. Only to show their true colors the last few years. They worked so hard to gain all of those fans and notoriety they built. And yet, they've been so blessed and are so fortunate. They've always weaseled out of accountability for the nasty things they do and day to people by indicating they're playing "characters". Even Robin, who went from Uncle Tom, Step-n-Fetchit to entitled, bitter cunt, became someone I couldn't handle listening to or paying for anymore. His constant shilling of that little bug-eyed doctor friend of his, who's another one of those famewhore doctors, his constant sneering of his callers, even the sycophants who call to kiss his nasty ass.
Stern really and truly does have nothing but disdain and disgust for anyone who isn't Jewish, wealthy and/or famous. I finally walked away from Stern, and Sirius for good about four months ago and haven't missed the routine nearly as much as I thought I would. The only people listening must be people like me, horrified longtime fans listening out of habit waiting for that shit to end. I have no idea why Sirius would give him a new contract at this point. His OCD and tunnel vision are out of control. He freaks out when his wife gets a haircut. He doesn't leave his house nor sees anybody. Why bother taking them on if they can't talk ? Does he have ANY interesting callers not calling about politics anymore ? I don't understand any of it. When he takes callers, they're either planned calls about scripted segments, or agressive Trumpers he immediately shuts down. When he has a guest on, he switches to his patronizing shrink voice and pushes them to say that everything they do/are is because of their father.
He spends the show repeating the same things about masks and Covid, and talking about 90s rock bands no one cares about, for hours. The whack pack is a thing of the past (read the country). Nobody's writing anything funny that you can tell anymore. The rare times he does that, the segment gets immediately cut out of replays. Stern himself was never funny on his own unless he went on a rant on somebody in the public eye. They're not in the studio, and the entire Stern schtick was always Howard bullying staff members or orchestrating fights between them. He refuses to say who he's voting for and it's become a problem with the others in the staff who justifiably call him a coward. He yells, he's abrasive, stupid and aggressive. Ronnie is this old fuck who's incapable of taking any kind of preceived criticism, he shuts down and gives the silent treatment. His sound drops are fewer and usually late (they're on zoom). You could replace her with a laugh track.įred you never hear unless he's doing the "puppets" which are painfully overdone and unfunny ("Cunt! Cunt! Pussy!") I have no idea *WHO* thinks this is funny or why Fred has lost the ability to read the room. Robin spends the entire show fake-laughing at every single thing Howard says, to the point that it's become background noise. It was already taking a downturn since Trump got elected but since the lockdown it's a disaster. I'm a longtime listener and I'm shocked at the state of the show.
