I didn't listen to that yet, but a lot of times people will misrepresent their IQ. Usually the only valid IQ test you have to pay money for and be administered by a clinical psychologist. Any other "IQ Test" such as online or elsewhere is usually bullshit.

They did pay money to have the tests professionally administered, something like $500 a test.

What kind of IQ score does a person have who spits loogies as they walk down hallways?

Did you guys actually make it through Jesse James' interview the whole way? He's said the word 'like' so many times in that first preamble that I had to skip it.

I have no idea how that guy has a 121 IQ. His politics don't even bother me that much, the problem is whenever he gets in an argument with someone he has no logical reason to think the way he does. His arguments are just insane. I have to imagine he's just trolling everyone, or the IQ test is bullshit.

Having an average IQ doesn't mean you're an honest, good person. Scott is basically no better than garbage because of his ego, stubbornness, attitude towards people and pets etc. I don't believe he actually believes his bullshit but he's such a horrible person that he's unwilling to admit he's wrong or that other views/opinions could be right.

edit: he's a stereotypical conservative, morally bankrupt

Howard absolutely killed it when he walked him into the "Do you believe in god?" trap.

121 IQ is apparently still pretty retarded because a 10 year old would have seen that one coming.

What was the trap exactly? Missed today's show.

Rate hikes? What bullshit! Their only product worth paying for is on cruise control and only on 7 out of every 14 days, not even counting vacation. They are probably on a total of 35% of the days of the year counting vacations. The Stern show is literally the only thing which exceeds free alternatives.

This is correct. Like the speed of a computer, if you spend all your time on youporn and trolling 4chan, your not doing yourself any favors.

I find De'Pace almost always logical in his thought process, with the information he has -- but he's a stubborn rear end in a top hat, and ignores outside information.

Studies have shown most super successful people have high social intelligence/emotional intelligence, and high motivation, but not necessarily high general IQ's.

Or better yet, DePace does have an high IQ but he uses it to suppress himself so he can toe a party line that has no real benefit to him. He's capable of being smart, but he only uses it to trick himself to believing nonsense.

Nah. DePace isn't an on-air talent, he rarely appears. He's just an obstinate gently caress who thinks he knows everything and will refuse to listen to any evidence to the contrary.

Yeah. New schedule. 3 days a week every other week. This is that 'every other week.'

Also, holy poo poo they turned my radio off pretty quick. I called to cancel at about 10:30 am. I didn't touch my radio until I left work at 5. At exactly 5:45 it turned off. It's pretty bizarre.

It's a compilation called "This Date In Howard History". Clips from various shows that aired on 5/5, I'm guessing. Right now it's "Mexican Delivery Game" from 2008. Earlier it was "Masturbation Stories" from the 90's, I think.

I'm a fan of comedy death ray, now known as comedy bang bang, but I understand why a lot of people don't like it.

I also like "Doug loves movies", "Judge John Hodgman"

All are very different than stern show stuff, so might not be good to recommend in this thread.

People have already mentioned these, but here's some basic descriptions:

Joe Rogan usually puts out a couple 2 hour shows a week. Basically they all get really baked and talk about random poo poo. Topics vary from conspiracies, MMA talk, current events, to a lot of about hallucinogens.

Doug Loves Movies is good, but it's really like a game show. They'll talk a little about movies, but most of it is the Leonard Maltin Game.

Comedy Death Ray is loving hilarious if you like improv comedy with people acting as characters.

During the discussion of Scott's reticence to believe the validity of the newest birth certificate (and why the original one was satisfactory to anyone who's not a logic-deficient moron like DePace, who's position is that since he has not "seen" it, it does not exist,) Howard asked him "Do you believe in god?"

When DePace answered yes, Howard jumped all over his inconsistency as most likely DePace has never seen any evidence that god exists either.

It was just a pretty excellent example of the black hole of logic that DePace operates in, where the only true evidence is the evidence that backs up his preconceived notions.

Carolla doesn't really do 'jokes', it's alot more observational/situational humor.

He literally has the ability to come up an unlimited number of hilarious premises (to rant about) for some mundane topic (out of the blue), without even a moments hesitation.

He's one of the few real comedian brains - and is as talented in his own way, as Artie was quick-witted, with his instant one liners.

He also says "literally" too much...

He is different from Stern, and can be an acquired taste, but I don't think you can deny that his shows have an energy and drive to them that the Stern show hasn't had for years now. I mean, "Lisa G Update"? JESUS CHRIST, WHO THE gently caress CARES?

I think thats a variation of a Dangerfield joke from Caddy Shack. Still, Artie is quick as hell.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
First "behind the scenes" show is out and it was interesting to watch, at least. Also, JD is a disaster of a human being and that office was foul. I can only imagine the squalor he lives in at home.

I'm confused at why he doesn't take those posters and junk to his home. He was acting like the only options were an infested hovel for an office at work or throwing them away.

Tracy must not be that much of a bastard if she hasn't made him clean that junk pile up and keep it clean. I always thought JD was an aspie workaholic.

Tracy's like 7 rungs lower on the power ladder from JD though. He might not make that much money but he's borderline on-air talent, and he's also Howard's pet project.

She's just the person who orders the pens and the post-it notes.
