Is there a particularly good part? Got through 5 minutes of stuttering John beating around the bush on an Opie and Anthony story and I had to punt.

I am an hour in and what they are saying is completely true about Howard. His transformation into ####ification and becoming PC and tame is embarrassing.

Rapaport is an exceptional loser. Never done anything in his life.His schtick is tired, but that's pretty f'ing funny

Thinking outside the box: is it possible Bababooey ####ed up his first pitch on purpose? They got a ton of publicity.

I dunno....I enjoyed him in Justified (even if his accent was ridiculous). He was also really good in Higher Learning.chet said:Rapaport is an exceptional loser. Never done anything in his life.His schtick is tired, but that's pretty f'ing funny

Seems like the 38-minute mark for about 5 minutes is the PC stuff. Plus about 10 minutes after that is pretty interesting about John leaving the show and the suggestion that Howard has prevented some people from getting gigs, and they reference this article: http://pagesix.com/2015/08/21/the-woman-responsible-for-howard-sterns-pc-behavior/
That is kind of rubbing me the wrong way actually.
Lot of people think it was Eizenberg? Guy who did Amazing Race. Howard tried to screw him. Threw a lame lawsuit at him.
Howard is a bad guy but has made for great radio throughout the years.
John said he was making 85k a year when he left. Pretty crazy when you think of how much air-time he got and content provided.
25% of Howard's show revolves around "characters" that he pays peanuts too. From wack pack to people like JD/Sal/Richard.

Howard is just a bad person, annoying and you can add hypocrite as well. John and Artie nailed it as Howard got emotional about the stuttering comic on AGT, but beat the crap out of John for it for years. I signed up for Sirius again last week. Haven't heard a minute of entertainment from 100 or 101 since. I did hear a repeat for almost an hour of Howard praising his diet on Wedneaday. I guess they're on a vacation again?

Him being nice to that stuttering comic is literally one of my favorite things about him since he re-signed.

I think that he said he got $200K or $200K per year for the 2-3 years it was on. It's been cancelled.

So Artie doesn't like Sour Shoes doing him. Interesting.
I haven't been listening much the last month, all my time for listening is taken up with FF podcasts.

Oh well that's something at least. I thought it was still on and very popular. I never saw it, but had a few friends who loved it.

I tell ya. I don't know what turned the show into the crap that it is now, but for me, at least 50% of the reason things went REALLY down hill was Eric The Midget dying.
My favorite Stern shtick/guest/caller/wack pack of all time.
I still listen to his call ins on a loop non stop.

This is so funny that you mention this. I've literally been listening to Eric the Midget bits all day at work for the past couple months. If you YouTube eric the midget, somebody has posted 8 hour clips of Eric the Midget bits from each year. Great background noise while getting some work done. He was by far the best and completely put that show on another level.

And it's up to date through his death.yup this is exactly what I've been listening to for weeks. Great stuff.
I've said it a million times in here. If you start with his first call ever and just go through the years, he was the greatest thing that ever happened to that show. I miss that little #### so much. Nothing breaks me up more than his shtick.

He was actually very "with it" for whackpacker but he was so damn gullible. I sincerely believe that Howard really did love him.And it's up to date through his death.

I'm finishing up the end of 2013 where he gets angry over tweets accusing him of things like "being a vega" "being lost in the Congo on the set of a TV Show" "going to whip his cahk out on the set of his next TV show"
oh and...
"he played the role of the feet being stuck under the house in the Wizard of Oz"

"so what did you call yourself, Eric?".....

I doubt he actually paid him but he really did give Eric everything he ever wanted in life -- fame. Eric got so many different stupid gigs (which he loved) because of the Howard Stern show. I think he truly appreciated Howard for that even though he always came across as an angry, miserable midget. For a guy with such a short life expectancy, I think that was more important to him than money.

Robin is so mean to Eric and he's probably about 2,000,000 times more important than her for that show.

definitely, always liked the little guy, but didn't fully appreciate how awesome he was until he was gone.
Eric, Hank, and Beetle are/were the top Wack Packers in the history of the show. Might even have to put Eric #1. Love Beetle but he isn't capable of bringing consistent daily entertainment, he's more of a novelty.
The current Packers who are on a lot suck. Jeff the Drunk and Bobo are boring and bring nothing to the table.
The good Wack Packers are leaving us, High Pitch Eric/Jeff the Drunk just don't do it for me.

I never liked Eric. That was a big reason I quit listening.

The Derek from Texas call was hysterical.
I heard some good interviews on 101 yesterday.

She kept mentioning her husband John. Didn't realize who he was until she mentioned The Office. Lucky dude.
