Haha, man, I just tried editing some movies I shot with my GoPro Hero 2 camera, and they sucked balls compared to his. That's pretty cool. He has some cool poo poo going on.

(My golden age: the Billy West years. My silver age: the post-Billy pre-divorce years, with special points when KC showed up.)

So basically you want a guy getting ready to enjoy his retirement with the love of his life (for now) and who is 55 years old to act like a 30 year old guy in a dysfunctional marriage that isn't working?

Guys... hate to break it, but the show won't ever be the same again. Howard is in a different place, with no battles left to fight. He does what he does now, gets on the show, talks, does an occasional bit, and some interviews. The game show days and crazy bits and stunts are gone.

THOUGH

I think it would be great for Howard to go to Vegas again, or to do another listener-involved contest. It seems like they've gotten into a groove of finding something that they can do without much effort, and they are just riding it out.

I can't blame the guy... he's been working in radio for 30 years and has made a great living out of it and made a lot of regular guys' mornings and helped us get through work. It is what it is.

Whatever makes you laugh, I suppose. I'm just always surprised to see folks who claim to be "Stern fans" -- when all they do is just complain about him, Beth, his show, etc. "We're mad because he's not like he used to be 30 years ago!", etc.

Hunter he clearly doesn't give a gently caress about the product anymore when he spends an hour on DWTS or AGT and doesn't replace anyone in the Artie/Jackie chair. Plus he's suing Sirius, starting that new job, I mean come on. He clearly doesn't give a gently caress about his radio show anymore.

Sure, this may be the case, but the fact still remains -- if you don't like it anymore, because you feel like he doesn't give a gently caress about it, then why do you listen and subject yourself to it?

I think it's mostly because it's the hip thing to do on forums.

porkfriedrice posted:

I think that a lot of the fans are hoping against hope that he will come to his senses and return to his former self, that's why they're sticking around. It's hard when after thirty years he does almost a complete 180. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that he will return to "normal" as long as he's married to Beth. Who knows, this could have been the type of person he was all along, it just took Beth to make him show his true self. I haven't listened to Stern in years, I just like to read the thread to hear about the train wreck that is the show and also Artie stuff. You can't fault people for feeling betrayed.

e:spelling

That's not going to happen. Howard has said himself that he's become more tame as he's aged, and he has already won all his battles to reach the top. Yes, I can fault people for being betrayed... he owes you nothing. He provided (and arguably still does) entertainment for millions upon millions of people for over three decades.

There were three pretty distinct stages of his career. Beginning, middle, and current. In the beginning he was that crazy Stern we all remember, this was in the 80s to early 90s -- all those rabid fights, controversies, etc. Then we had the Stern who really made it big and hit mainstream in the 90s and 00s with movies, tv, bits on the show, etc, and now he's a 55 year old man who is content with what he's done, likes working (or at least likes the routine and framework it provides) and has laid off a lot of the bits and running gags and flame wars.

I think he still likes doing the show but puts energy into it a different way. He's an older guy.

As has been said during his 30+ year career... if you don't like it, turn it off.

It's fine to listen and criticize for bits that are lame, bad interviews, but when your sole purpose of listening is just to over-analyze, scrutinize, and lament at how bad he is now compared to x_period, you're just doing yourself a disservice.

Life is a lot more enjoyable when you're not busy being lovely and negative about something all the time. Drop the negativity and you'll be a lot happier...

This is literally all you ever post in this thread for 5+ years, you seem to hold nothing but contempt for its posters, but you keep coming back. Do you notice a striking similarity? The difference with you is you contribute absolutely nothing to the conversation whatsoever each time you threadshit and run.

The problem is you never have a defensible response. It's annoying but then again I suppose it's the internet. We all know the show isn't in it's golden age anymore, but Howard and the staff have evolved -- the focus has changed. He's more introspective now about about killer interviews. Not bits and games so much -- at least since the Artie days.

I'd love some new roasts, new Richard and sal bits, but I'm content with the content they put out. It's enjoyable in a different way -- because my expectations are different.

Now: GO!
