Stern fan here, too! I grew up with my mom listening to it and watching the E! show. Can't wait for them to come back! These long vacations are awful.

I was a big fan of O&A at one time too. When they were on terrestrial radio before the whole Sam Adams incident I can honestly say I liked them better then Stern. The whiffle ball bat challenge, their infamous L couch, 55 gallon drum challenge, etc. They were all fantastic bits, but after their hiatus, when they came back they weren't the same. I figured being on satellite it would open new doors of opportunity for them, but they never banked on it. They couldn't get any guests and there bits were/are non existent. Even the few guests that were friends of the show disappeared (Lewis Black, Jim Breur, etc). I tried to hang in there when they went to XM, I listened to them all the time. The only thing that keeps me tuned in now is Lil Jimmy. And even then as soon as I hear something stupid come out of Opies mouth I change the channel.

And as far as Howard and the crew revisiting the events of the past 2 weeks come Monday morning, its the last thing I want to hear at this point. I am tired of hearing about all the depressing death's. I rather they come back and talk about their vacations and whatever mess Artie got into during this break. Don't get me wrong, my heart goes out to the families of everyone who has passed away these last couple of weeks, but its time to move on. Hearing about how much coffee Robin is able to "hold" is what I need now after 2 weeks of depressing radio and TV.

It's a shame that you feel that way - I think O&A have gotten better lately. I couldn't stand the Anthony rants, and I think Opie's kind of "cute". Yeah, girl answer!!

Anyway, I wish people would stop feeling like they have to like one and hate the other. Especially with replays and post-merger, you can listen to both. I don't think they're the same thing anymore.

O&A are getting lots more guests, but I don't care if they have guests or not. I like the bits, the interns, the rambling commentaries on the hot topic of the day, etc... They (and we) are getting older. The bathroom humor is tiring to me. I prefer some occasional grown up discussions.

Honestly, I love Ron & Fez the most. But to each his/her own!!

Love Howard! To me, he's the ultimate voyeur. He sits and watches all the nuts...

Speaking of which, I just read the Artie just got arrested for suspicion of DUI again.

He does not take 4 months... He takes 6 weeks a year (plus Fridays), that is what is in his contract.

As for vacationing during a media blitz... I to would love to hear his take on MJ's death, etc... but some things are unexpected. His vacation (and replay of the History Volume II) was planned - and promoted for a month prior to it's commencement. MJ's death was sudden and happened to fall just as HS and the lovely Beth O were boarding a plane to who know's where (probably the Hampton's).

I am also a huuuuuuuuuuuuggggggge Stern Fan, and would love his take, but will patiently wait until Monday Morning.

Dr. Remulak..... nice call - I believe that turned out to be a buddy of Stu-Stuu-Stuuuttteerrring J-J-Jo-John....

The takes 6 weeks plus Fridays.

52 weeks a year minus 6 = 46 fridays off.

46/5 = 9.2 weeks

9.2 +6 = 15.2 weeks

not quite 4 months but a lot of time for a radio show.

I did say I do not like him, I didn't say you shouldn't.
