Great call on Howard Stern today

[npeartisgod]

Around 845, they got into it with a Bills’ fan on us being the only team to play in NY and why we get no respect from downstate. 
 

Go Bills!

[Mango]

I can hear it now, "Buffalo, what a depressing city. Robin, could you imagine being from Buffalo? Great you have a football team, Imagine being such a shithole people prefer NJ" followed by another hour of "Howard, this is your mother, your cousin Ishmeal was from Buffalo and he was a very nice man. You shouldn't say those things..."

I think that might actually be a better version of the show than what has been put on the air recently.

You forget where they take a detour to make fun of a mentally handicapped person.

People still listen to that?

Love Howard and consider myself a longtime fan...but I have to admit I haven't followed it in a long time.

 

Howard is a smart guy and changed the broadcasting world by being REAL.

 

Many of his interviews are the best you will find with certain guests, because he asks real questions, listens, and then asks more real follow-up questions and you actually learn the "reality" behind a certain celebrity.

 

Most mainstream interviews are worthless in comparison.

 

Of course then you have the odd fart joke and that turns some people off.

Howard is horrible now.  Was great before he went Hollywood. Show is unlistenable now.

He kept me sane in my 1st years out of college when I had an early commute.

 

I haven't listened in ages though.

Howard Stern is about the lowest form of "entertainment" IMO. 

[Robert Paulson]

he was at Rich a lot during the super bowl years. I would see him getting his VIP tickets several games. 

[SoMAn]

When I was in my 20's,  I thought Stern was funny and edgy. Turns out I was just young and immature and easily tickled by the sophomoric humor.

The 'shock' of the shock jock era is over, and now it's just an old guy acting like the annoying 8th grade class clown. 

 

I heard that Don Imus was great. Listened a couple times to see what that was all about.  Never found anything to like about his show and can't understand the mass appeal.

He actually allowed our “fan” to make great points about why Buf is the NY team, which was acknowledged by everyone as the best team in NY as the Giants and Jets suck. Great call from our mafia.

The issue with Howard is he went from being a regular neurotic guy on the outside looking in at celebrity to a neurotic celebrity.   He got the hot wife, the therapist, and the celebrity friends and his show became bad.

[PastaJoe]

Howard talked about how his friend Jon Bon Jovi wanted to buy the Bills, but was undermined by the rumors that he would move the team. Bon Jovi told him it was false, had actually planned to buy a house in the Buffalo area if he became owner, and thought that Trump planted the rumor to undermine his bid.

Meh, I hate the "he's evolved" argument. But I do think some of it is evolution. Mostly I think Howard is old and tired. The guy has busted his ass to change how media existed in the USA. He is entitled to ride his career out on his own coattails. I am also entitled to complain about it. The whole production just feels so low-effort and lazy these days. I don't think the issue is what is edgy now, or whether or not Howard has gone soft. Like spending two hours a day for 8 days ripping on Ronnie for moving to LV and retiring should be about 30 minutes....once. But instead it dominated an entire month.

To be fair since they’re all still working remotely from home it’s hard to generate the spontaneity they have when people run into the studio during the show, as well as the stunts that require being in-person. And I miss the end of show segment when Robin read the news and the studio would comment. I do tune out when he gets into the long-winded celebrity interviews. 

[LabattBlue]

Covid, vaccine, quarantined, Beth, boring celebrity interview who has been on the show before, rinse and repeat. 
 

Because I got a good Sirius promotion, I still get 100 and 101, but whenever I flip it on…see above. 
 

The new Howard sucks.  I can’t believe they are still paying him millions, and he won’t even leave house.  Considering her show contributions, Robin is stealing even more than Hollywood Howie.

Did Howard bring up how Jonny's group commissioned a Toronto stadium study?

[dpberr]

He is the human manifestation of the lazy sell out nobody expects to become.
