I need somewhere to vent. Exactly 2 months ago was my b day. i got the stiletto. DH or should I say H still has not put it in my car. I have the Starmate and tried to just use the same wires for the Stiletto but it is "saying" no antenna detected. He has been promising to look at it since the beginning of June!!!!!!! Bought it used on ebay so now I figure if it is broken we are screwed. Its been almost 2 months that we have had it.

I am just so pissed and needed somewhere to vent!!! i told him next year I want a boyfriend for my b day. A boyfriend would have had it in the day of my b day.

And did I happen to mention he didn't even have it for my b-day. He only ordered it after my b day. He said he forgot.

Please tell me I have the right to be annoyed!!!

You sure do have the right to be annoyed! The most annoying part is, Howard might be gone by the time you get it installed

Do you have a Radio Shack in your area- maybe you could pop in and just ask them what the problem might be. Not saying they are the brightest crayons in the box, but maybe it is something easy and you can do it yourself It's worth a try.

Or just call Sirius, maybe they can help.

Oh how I miss Howard and his "Nam" stories Good to hear some today.

ETA- ooops- How rude of me! I almost forgot...........

HAPPY 20th BABA BOOOOOOOOEY!

Absolutely not!

Sorry, but if you want it installed, and he won't do it. Then do it yourself, or as the maddhatir suggested take it to Radio Shack (or Best Buy or any other electronics store). I understand he got it for you, and maybe he's a bit of a jerk for not helping (or making it a priority) but there are other means.

Is it wrong I say Bababooey to everything in my real life? It really is the most appropriate way to express myself. I can not believe Gary has been with the show for 20yrs. I saw a recent picture of him today and wow he has aged. But I guess we all do don't we.

OK Stern fans. An updated list of who Whoopi Goldberg has defended:

Helen Thomas "Well, people always say, “Go back to Africa.”
Mel Gibson "I know Mel, and I know he’s not a racist"
Jesse James "'I Made Those Mistakes, Too''
Michael Vick "This is part of his cultural upbringing'
ROMAN POLANSKI "it wasn't rape-rape"

.....but Howard? No. HE is "insensitive"

So, let me get this right.... You can be an antisimitic racist, cheat on your wife, mame and kill animals AND be a pedophile. BUT! Remember this people, you cannot, and I REPEAT, you CANNOT call someone fat. Now THAT is just crossing the line.

Good to know.

The first day Howard and the gang premiered on Sirius, I was vacationing at the World. I got up at 6am and sat outside in my car where I could listen to him on Sirius. Great memories of two of my favorite things, Saratoga Springs and Howard Stern.

I was on vacation too! But I was in Cancun. I packed my big boom box and took it with me- I had the antenna hanging over the balcony- and it worked! I had to hear Howard!

................Diehards!

OK- I admit I am a freak for (possibly) knowing this but, I think the music I just heard leading into commercials is the music from Twilight (when they are playing baseball)

OK, ok- so I like Twilight.

What did everyone think of the IQ test? I was driving to work yesterday and only heard the part where they were placing bets and I had to turn off the show to start my shift. I went back to my car during my lunch break and heard the exact same section of the show. Does this ever happen to anyone else? It reminds me of when I was in college and would get out of my early classes and try to hear the end of the show on terrestrial and only getting an endless block of commercials.

I finally learned the outcome of the test today. I can't believe Sal used to be a stockbroker. I feel so bad for anyone who invested money with him. I love Richard and how he wanted to tie with Sal. It would have been great if they tested Scott the Engineer.

I also can't believe the stunts Eric the Midget with his Fringe gig. It is impossible to feel bad for him.

We listened to it last night at home after catching some of it in the car.
I do have that happen with both Howard and Rosie - I get into the car at the exact place where I did before (I don't usually listen in the house).
Anyway, I knew Sal would be the lowest of the staff. He makes me laugh but he is DUMB. The way he operates in various relationships (unreasonable) and the fact that he doesn't know some VERY basic geography and history OR math answers when they've asked him before - is scary. Think how many times he'd been exposed to certain material and just obviously not picked it up AT ALL. He seems to have the mentality of about a slow, 13-y-o boy. And it's not an act - obviously. JD being low didn't surprise me either. I think it's classic that the winner was _____

I love George Takei. I don't know if I would love him in studio everyday but I always try a little harder to tune in when he is on.

I can't stand Ralph. He was mad at Gary because he had to come on 30 mins earlier because of David Arquette.

I can't stand this little peice of crap. I know sometimes listening to him can be funny but he is such an ungrateful little f...!

UGH- ITA! I think Howard puts him on b/c he THINKS it's "good radio".

I hate when Howard says "ok- goodbye Eric....." and does not hang up on him

Does anyone remember that just a few years ago- Eric did not curse on the show? And then one day- BAM- out of nowhere, he started dropping the F bombs left and right I bet the show told him to do that. It still does not make him entertaining.

I also don't like when Howard makes people feel like crap (not Eric etc). He does it all the time when someone gives him a gift- and now all of this with Fitzsimmons. If I were Greg, I would just say "forget I asked dude......." In the time it takes Howard to complain about it- he could have written the forward and been done with it. He really is a whiner......boy, his mother really did a number on him!

 

[eaj1228]

I am really surprised Howard hasn't made an announcement about his contract. I can't remember any of his past negotiations so I don't know if this is typical for him. I heard he only had like 60(?) shows left. I don't remember the exact number.

IMO- I think he will stay but his hours/days will be reduced. I guess we have to wait and see.

Oh dear god- this Joe Pesci crap is ANNOYING and I am only 12 minutes into the West Coast feed!

PLEASE someone tell me it will stop soon- PLEASE!

I would much rather have Jim sitting there being himself!
Well, I assume it was Jim Breuer. (and NOT b/c Eric mentioned it LOL)
