I started listening daily sometime around 2004 and it took me drat near a year to get caught up on the staff, their past drama, who they were and what they did, etc. Anyone listening for the first time would be like "who the hell is JD and why do I care that this moron keeps his entire life savings is in his checking account?". Plus I'm imagining young people just listen to podcasts about video games or conspiracies or why all women are sluts or something. You seriously need to take like a 6 hour class on the Stern show if you wanted to start listening today. This was me, except 10 years later. Y'all remember my questions? poo poo, I should get back into some of my favourite clips, it's been WAY too long. It's harder to keep youtube playing during my current job than it was for my previous one. I have to actually... y'know.. pay attention to stuff now.

I think YouTube makes it easier to get into the show (or rather, the classic eras of the show) due to the fact that you can quickly pull up all of the best bits. If someone finds those bits entertaining, then there is an incentive to want to learn more. There is also enough Stern information online that you can quickly catch up on any individual incident or running joke if it doesn't make sense in a clip

There is a private Stern file sharing site I am on where someone is creating "Best Ofs" of various years, basically going through each daily show and pulling out the best bits. So while it's not everything, it's certainly a nice condensed version of the show for the given year

Some of the best impromptu bits were Howard doing Grandma Caprio and then Artie coming back with his Beth impression. Also Guy Who Laughs at Everything.

I'm looking through his book right now and the introduction is interesting as it confirms a lot of what we thought (for the worse) but who would ever read these interviews? It's such a ridiculous medium for these mundane interviews.

He is (and has been since the "AGT" days) pining for a Netflix show where he just does celebrity interviews. The book press tour isn't really about promoting the book as much as it is giving him an excuse to go on shows like "The VIew" and essentially say, "hey, you may remember me as the guy who was obsessed with strippers and porn stars, but I've changed". This way, his PR people can convince Netflix that he has mainstream appeal, and then they'll order the show (once his current contract is up). If he doesn't get the show, he can ride off into the sunset, having successfully rewritten his history.

I'm sure it would do well but I can see people tuning it in and expecting Howard to be Howard and getting pissed that he's not trying to be funny. It's like when you go see a band you loved growing but all they play is songs from the new album.

My guess is that if it even proceeded far enough to study if audiences would be receptive or interested in the proposed show, there was likely a conclusion that people still associate him with his shock jock image. So in an effort to fix his image, he releases a book that is effectively titled, "Howard Stern Has Evolved, Please Accept Me!".

The show is really pulled back, but they sprinkle in just enough weird poo poo to turn off any of those new listeners he would be attracting to the show. Like... you hear his interviews and decide to tune into his show, and then hear Richard pouring Champagne into his rear end in a top hat.

Good lord. I would say he needs prison time but I honestly think he could use his celebrity to get junk in prison and just OD on dirty poo poo. I get that he is a horrible addict, but I am starting to fall back in to feeling sorry for him. He is so bad that either he has never had a truly strong, long term person to police him 24/7 for months/years or he is impossible and should have followed his idols years ago.

Can I tell you my favorite Artie Lange story, real briefly? I don't know exactly why this struck me so funny but when Katy Perry's "I kissed a girl" was a hit, I remember thinking this is just a pop version of that 90's song... then Howard was playing it and says of all things "gee, this is such an original idea for a song", leading to Fred saying "Huh there was a song just like this in the 90's", and playing it. Like 10 seconds in Artie goes "Yeah, this is the thinking man's version". For some reason it still makes me laugh to think about.

I mean the odds are that he did...but it could have also been something like getting into a fight at his halfway house, not checking in with probation officer, missing a scheduled piss test etc...

Artie is only 51? Good lord. I am not used to seeing people be in such bad shape for so long, so I didn't know that it was even humanly possible to gently caress one's self up that much in so little time while also managing to survive somehow. Amy Winehouse died at 27, and yet Artie noselessly soldiers on.
