Any Stern Fans on this Forum?

[maddhatir]

LMAO!! Ok now I need to go to youtube and find these calls. Had a bad day today and these will cheer me up!

Richard's phony phone calls are the only calls that make me laugh hysterically.

 

[maddhatir]

I think it was rude of Howard not to discuss the deal with Robin before he announced them.

It seems like she might be a little pissed that she was left in the dark- and still is.

I think Howard should have made sure she was onboard for this beforehand.

 

[maddhatir]

I am glad Robin is staying!

I also think that Howard, Robin and Fred were treated like crap at the concert! I think people need to remember WHY Sirius is even alive and kicking!

Howard should have been treated with the same respect as any other celebrity in attendance.

ETA- OMG- LMAO! Did I just hear Little Lupe say "He just wink-ded!" ??
OMG- she is so darn cute

Glad to read he signed!Just got a new radio. I haven't heard the show for months!

I must say - personally, since the show has been back on the air in the New Year (starting last week), I haven't laughed much. I think I've already kind of made it clear here before that I feel like I'm sticking with the show because I've been with it for so long - it almost feels like a family, in a way, and I have to stay loyal - so I sort of feel like I have to stay with it to the bitter end. I still think the show has its great moments here and there, but more and more I find myself getting impatient with bits that go on too long, or that were not funny to begin with.

BUT, that said, today they are running a Best of Stern segment on Howard 101, and it's an Artie episode - the one in which Howard and Artie are arguing about being "bros" or friends because Howard is trying to set him up with a girl who likes heavy guys. And, wow, do I miss Artie. I find myself riveted to this repeat from a couple of years ago rather than the brand new show over on Howard 100!

I know it's been said here before but there is really a big void with Artie gone. He contributed so much to the dynamic of the show. The Artie-George Takei thing was so funny. He had such a quick wit. I think he was one of the few who could actually stand up to Howard and give him a good fight when Howard was yelling. Most other people sound like idiots when they try to go toe to toe with Howard. Artie was pure gold.

I know Howard thinks that it will be bad for Artie's well being to come back on the show, but I really, really wish they could work him in there somewhere.

I have to agree with you , since the show came back from vacation last week , I find the shows almost contentless and boring

Howard sounds like he is in a big rush to end the show and is giving off a vibe like he really doesn't want to be on the air...Makes me wonder why he even resigned
If he didn't feel like doing the show anymore , he shouldn't have.

 

[maddhatir]

ITA too Sherry. You can tell that he is just reading news headlines and that is what he starts the show off with.

His interviews are much more mellow than they used to be. They sound more "professional". Actually I think I might like them better. In the past I would have to switch the station b/c I was tired of him whining until someone answered one of his "sex questions" How many times can you repeat the same darn question?

I thought with the new year starting, they would have revamped the show a little. I can't see this going on the way it is for another 5 years

And Robin's news, ugh, forget about it. Years ago, I did not mind missing the show that much as long as I got to hear the news. It was hysterical.

But, I will stick with Howard b/c yes, he is like family.

OMG...Robin's news has been almost painful lately
You can hear Howard squirming around , just dying to end the show and leave !!!
His "I gotta end the show" attitude is really ruining the show for me
He needs to just chill out and go with the flow.

But , like everyone else , I will stick with Howard because I can't imagine not hearing the show.

Most of the time she sounds like she is just reading and not even paying attention to what she is saying.

Not very relaxed at all.

I have to agree with some of the comments about Robin's news. There's a lack of preparation that shows through. If you're going to discuss news subjects, you have to do some research and on several occasions it just sounds like that level of preparation isn't there. This really isn't anything new, but it seems worse over the past several months. I also find it frustrating when she sometimes goes over the exact same story they've discussed earlier in the show and adds nothing new. Its like its on her list and she won't change it. Since they're sticking much closer to the 4 hour show than in the past, I think they should consider junking or greatly reducing the news segment. Not to mention, its the segment that least holds up in any replay/best of.

On the subject of the somewhat shorter show. I like it, and here's why: when I get in the car after work, about 4:30, they're starting the show from the beginning on H100...it used to always be Robin's news. So now I hear the 6:00-7:00 hour on the ride home and I often find that first hour to be some of the best.

I also don't mind that Bubba is no longer on H101. I listened some when he first started at Sirius, but I felt the show deteriorated into nothing but racing and wrestling. I have nothing against Bubba and it would be fine if he came back to Sirius, but stick him on the Nascar or Raw Dog channels...

I'm a huge stern fan. Was very happy he signed on for 5 more years. The Ron Howard Interview this week was hilarious (among other things)

 

[mare73]

Chalk up another female Stern fan. I've been listening for about 20 years now. I have to say, those last few years on terrestrial radio were difficult to listen to...all the censoring and the long and frequent commercial breaks - ugh! I signed on to Sirius shortly after he made his announcement, so about a year before he came on the air. During that time I fell in love with commercial-free radio. When Stern started, that was it for me I basically listen to Stern or my iPod.

Baba Booey to y'all!

Feel the same way. I'll be there 'til the last show. Artie's absence is huge. The show will never be that good again unless he comes back in some way.

DVRing Piers Morgan- Howard is on tonight! Well, he is on right now

Just watched Howard on Piers...

Howard was cool and composed, but as Howard said - Piers doesn't ask the hard hitting questions.

It's like Piers was looking for a fight, and just not getting it.

Well down Howie!
