AAAOOOOOOOGAH!! Homocop (and all of that type of oldschool bits) are terrible, the real greatness of this show is when the staff just riff off (and rip on) each other (and the hapless mutants/strippers/SCORESMAN GOT A TATTOO/staff who wander into the den). Nothing beats no-guest days back in the Artie era of 2nd/3rd year Sirius. They had finally gotten over saying "gently caress!!!!" every fourth word for the novelty of it by then, and Artie was still lucid enough as a drug-addled fatass comedian.

Kelly posted:Seconding the nice job on the OP - thanks duder. Don't forget the douchechills coming from 'I'M THE PRANKSTER.' Also, that whole 'Bro' fight was pretty cringeworthy as well. Artie didn't want to be referred to as just the fat guy. Howard keeps going on and on about how grateful Artie should be to be there. It reveals a lot about the nature of the show that adds more proof that Howard knew what Artie was going through and let it happen, perhaps out of spite. AxeManiac posted:You could also say Howard was keeping drug addled artie on the show for us and didn't want to stop it because it was radio gold. Oh yeah. Especially after the Teddy fight. Howard should have put a stop to it after Sal got hit by a CD, but letting Artie come back after the Teddy fight was really selfish. At that point Artie was losing his mind and really needed help.

Thought I'd throw these in for the OP, some pertinent Youtube links. http://www.youtube.com/user/ericthebedhumper2 - ETBH is the definitive source for midget material. Has literally every call that monster has made during the Sirius years in addition to other appearances by Eric, the midget's Idol show and much more. Its slow going now because of the ETM hiatus but he always updates with funny stuff(Riley Martin, Ronnie stuff, etc). If you're looking for a recent funny bit or a good interview, check here first. http://www.youtube.com/user/cpuss - cpuss is a great source for pre-Sirius material. 800+ videos featuring a lot of the classic bits in Stern history and much more. Updated infrequently but there's such a wealth of videos its not an issue. http://www.youtube.com/user/skippyeyes - more terrestrial stuff. Lots of good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/user/MasterTubeTheatre#p/p - the source for all the prank calls done by Sal and Richard. Has a handful of other good bits but mostly recognized for the prank calls. I've linked directly to said playlists.

I started listening during The Sirius Years and I have come to the conclusion that I'm an Artie Lange - not Howard Stern - fan. When you are turning Steve Brandano into an on-air personality and spending hours discussing how valid his various emotions are, you have truly entered into a world from which there is no return: and that was the best of today's show!

The Howard Stern show has been making the back office staff on-air personalities since about day 1. The Brandano stuff wasn't A1 or anything, but that's generally one of the greatest aspects of the show. I'm no Jason Kaplan fan, but the spot where Howard called his mother and talked to her for an hour about her treatment of Jason was one of my favorite bits in whatever the hell year it happened.

kolby posted:THE BIG BIG BANG I like how his mental mind went right to his parents loving. "The big bang is also a sexual thing, because you got here because of your parent's big bang". The ant story was great, just another example of it doesn't matter if Howard is living on a private island being pampered, he still has poo poo to talk about. The world's greatest recluse leaves his mansion! It was funny to think him leaving his house and going on vacation pretty much anywhere but the top 3 hotels in the worlds means he is going to spend his time in a shittier place than his home. While most people usually end up thinking a hotel is nicer than their place when they do a big vacation. Howard is a basket case and will always have tons of stuff to talk about. I love that he seems to be off the reality tv wrap up (might be because nothing is on) I could never get into him talking about dancing with the stars or whatever else, he literally just liked that show and talked about it and whenever he likes anything, it tends to be boring.

I don't see it happening, because wasn't the circumstances of him leaving the show similar to Artie's (totally hosed up on drugs)? I love me some KC, though. My favorite KC story was when he won a significant amount of money on one hand of online poker, and then pissed it all away in, like, 2 days by continuing to gamble with it.

He should have taken the money. I can't remember the site, but last week I was reading an article that was trying to do the math on the new Howard contract. Basically it boiled down to - if he did ended up going to 3 shows a week, he would be making just under $500,000 per show or something like $2,800 per minute he was on the air. I haven't done the math to verify the numbers, but assuming it's true, it's kind of funny that Howard would get paid more by 8:00 AM on the first show of his contract than Bubba would get paid for the entire year.

I really don't like the new schedule... I used to turn on H101 at 9AM so I could hear the beginning of the show and then listen throughout the day at the office. Then, when I left work, I could catch the last portion of the show on H100. Now, when I'm leaving work, H100 is already 30 minutes or so into another replay of the show.

Sirius really seemed to screw Bubba as hard as they could, and it's no secret they have been pretty stupid with their money. They just wanted to give him one twist of the knife before they left, and I'm not shocked to see him telling the press about the paycuts the radio talent are getting. That said, I hope Radioio works out for him. It seems to be a fine service once they got the bandwidth to broadcast his show.

Howard always says he wants to get off the air by 10, does it for a few days, and then goes back to leaving around 11. I would be very surprised if he sticks to getting off at 10. Sirius could've easily offered Bubba an exclusive contract for like $5 million a year, he would've been happy and they'd have another actual radio performer exclusive to them. Instead, they give Oprah, Martha Stewart, Jamie Foxx, and Eminem huge contracts for poo poo product. I suspect that's what made Bubba turn down the syndication deal.

Kelly posted:- Howard is patently dishonest with his audience regarding a few things. Namely, not working Fridays. And, when Bubba signed his last contract they were all crowing about it but neglected to mention he wasn't actually live 4 of the 5 days. Also: completely embracing people to further Beth's career that he would normally shun - to our amusement. I've come to realize over the many years that this is true. He's dishonest to the audience with a lot of things, which is made even more aggravating because he constantly claims otherwise. It's not new to the Sirius move, though. I remember at least 10 years ago always wondering why they never announced when they were taking vacation, because it was such a downer to wake up to a repeat. He finally admitted some years ago that he does this to trick the audience into thinking it's a new show, even if it's just for a short time. I guess for ratings. I'm not sure why this carried over to Sirius where ratings don't really matter -- do they? And yeah, the Fridays off thing is really bad, especially after his rant just a few years earlier. "If you're not there on Fridays, you are doing a disservice to the audience. And you're not doing your job. You're not doing it right." "I'm not going to come and do this show and jip my audience. Not going to do it. I'm going to do the best I can." ...What's that about not jipping us, Howard?

Millstone posted:Is there some way we can make this whole thing the thread title On the Sirius side I believe base streaming of 32kbps was free and upgrading to 128kbps cost you $2.99. Shorty after the merger the free 32kbps was dropped and you had to pay for any streaming which was promoted as an "upgrade". I had XM which had 32/64kbps free until the merger when it was "upgraded" to 128kbps with the $2.99 fee. To further complicate it XMers had the option to "lifetime" their free streaming which sounds great but that was to lifetime 32kbps and you got no app capability.

Not only is she way too hammed up displaying no natural charisma whatsoever, but the show is a technical disaster. Shaky camera and sporadic cuts- on a COOKING SHOW! The easiest thing to frame in the world! Just do a wide shot that shows the entire cooking landscape and allows people to see exactly how the chef is preparing everything, from prep to finish. Zoom in for detail or if there's actually a good moment between the hosts, that's it. Instead the camera is all over the place and they change angles for the sake of keeping it dynamic or something and that laugh jesus rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jan 5, 2011 |

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.

You're allowed three transfers to new equipment which costs an additional $75 transfer fee and a $15 activation fee. I'm still on my original Sirius Sportster (the one with the good FM transmitter). However, it's become kind of finicky... I have to move it around a bit sometimes to get a connection to the antenna. Still, five years with the original equipment isn't bad. Sounds like you haven't had as good luck with your equipment, though.

I was thinking to myself, 'no way, she has to know what she just said.' Unless "youthanize" just became a word Howard ragging on Richard was terrible. What an rear end in a top hat. Richard actually finding modest success in something he loves is upsetting to Hamptons Howie. Howard has never come across as more jealous. And Gary and Jon couldn't wait to wrap up the wrapup show exactly at 11am
