The Dean Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 :wallbash: :wallbash: No, it's just kind of a thing around here now for a dozen years. Every time a Stern show comes up - twice a year maybe - you always get 2 or 3 people responding along the lines of "I don't get it. Stern isn't that funny! I can't believe he is still around, he's not relevant. He hasn't been funny in years." Like moths to a flame someone is always drawn in. I don't get it. Stern isn't that funny.

GOBILLS78 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I often hear that Stern isn't relevant. Then I see Stern giving Joan Rivers' eulogy getting pub, then I see that Benji's hijacking of the Goodell press conference is getting pub, then I see that this guy's death is the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter. This is just in the past week or so. Maybe Stern's more relevant now than ever. Name another "relevant" radio guy who gets the guests this guy does.

The Poojer Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 summed it up perfectly for Howard Stern years ago and still pretty relevant Researcher: The average radio listener listens for eighteen minutes. The average Howard Stern fan listens for - are you ready for this? - an hour and twenty minutes. Pig Vomit: How can that be? Researcher: Answer most commonly given? "I want to see what he'll say next." Pig Vomit: Okay, fine. But what about the people who hate Stern? Researcher: Good point. The average Stern hater listens for two and a half hours a day. Pig Vomit: But... if they hate him, why do they listen? Researcher: Most common answer? "I want to see what he'll say next." I often hear that Stern isn't relevant.

ChevyVanMiller Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I bought Sirius Radio when Howard moved over. I still listen to his show most days when I'm in the car. I'm not much of a fan of the sycophants and "WhacK Pack" stuff ( Though, Bigfoot's manner of speech is highly addictive, it is) but, I think Howard is in a league by himself as far as interviews go. This year alone he has had amazing sit-downs with Paul McCartney, Graham Nash, Lady Gaga, Francis Ford Coppolla, just to name a few. His interviews are some of the most insightful and deep-reaching that most of these subjects ever give. By the way, the recent replay of his interview with Vincent Gallo and the vitriol that the native son has for Buffalo was radio gold. Furthermore, Howard has never been more relevant. By going on AGT and reinventing himself as a tough judge with a heart of gold has endeared him to millions of new fans. He has gone from angry young man to wise elder statesman - much like many of you on this board. RIP Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hank, Kenneth Keith and now Eric the Midget/Actor, The original Big Foot, Cleft Pallet, Blue Iris, The Leather Weather Lady, The Janitor. I can remember those, there are a few more I read: Celestine, They have their own Wiki page.* STrange they list Ownsby as a former Wack Packer. I remember when her and Erica the gymnast were two of the hottest chicks on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPR4444 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 i'll miss hearing that little prick call the show. his outrageous demands, his arguments with everybody, and his willingness to seriously respond to the ridiculous claims callers like Gonzo Shitcock made about him all made for classic moments in the recent era of the Stern Show. the tribute show to Eric was actually pretty touching, i thought. Thanks Eric the Actor, you'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
