It was the same in August last year. I think someone mentioned in this thread that they put their subscription on hold for August last year, which is maybe not a bad idea.As a non-listener prior to Sirius, do you not find the old shows interesting or informative at all?Another vacation?I almost feel like I'm paying for reruns at this point.

Hell, I was a non-listener until last November.It was the same in August last year.

I don't think I've heard a MTT yet that I've liked, but I do remember Mammory Lane being really good the last time they did it. Only heard an hour so far today, but didn't care for it (Specter and parts of Mantle).I get a lot out of Sirius without Stern so I won't put it on hold (plus the price is right), but it is annoying.

I've missed the past 2 weeks due to work travel and today's reruns were a big disappointment (that and an extra 40 mins of traffic).Another vacation?I almost feel like I'm paying for reruns at this point.

Seriously, Howard should retire already. I think there was a YouTube video that quoted Stern during his last days on terrestrial radio saying he'd never take fridays off. Funny, I can't find it on Youtube now.

I am more then likely wrong with most of these numbers but its an estimate:52 Fridays off a year = 10 Weeks of VacationChristmas & New Years = 3 WeeksEaster/Passover = 1 WeekMemorial Day - 1 Week (sometimes 2)July 4th = 2 WeeksLabor Day = 1 or 2 WeeksThanksgiving = Sometimes its a couple of days to 1 WeekSo he has about 15-20 Weeks off (almost half a year), that may be a bit excessive but a little of Howard is better then no Howard

10 weeks tends to be the number that is put out there, not including Fridays. I think it's accurate. He's never taken 3 in a row off.We can probably figure it out by tracking this thread and/or marksfriggin.

What do you think of the story O and A had today about Stern using fake callers? Apparently its a service Mancow and him both use where callers kind of. Insaenly lame to me, the link to the calls is on this page:

Just more of the typical Ralph garbage. Being overly comfortable at Howard's Hamptons house, embarrasing everybody out on the town, weaseling $ out of Artie.

Who's O & A????????

He missed a friend's wedding because he went out drinking the night before and basically slept through the whole day of the wedding. He read the apology letter he was sending to them on the air. You really have to hear it or read it for yourself because there is no way to recite everything he wrote. They said they were going to post the letter on howardstern.com for everyone to see.

They are the guys most of Howard's old audience listens to now.But that's neither here nor there, to me, its sad that the once great king has to buy callers now.Who's O & A????????

Artie went out playing poker until 7AM and slept through a co-workers (Isaac) wedding.He wrote an apology letter and read it on the air.

Did he ever reveal the P.S. that he tore from the bottom of the page?

no, he said it's up to Issac if he wants to say what it was.

To me Howard's show isn't really about the callers though. Most just want to bust balls and few really add anything to the show. I find his show very entertaining without callers. No one conducts an interview like Stern. He is the best interviewer out there IMO. He doesn't coddle any celebrity and throw out the typical cookie cutter questions that are so cliche like all the other people in the media.They are the guys most of Howard's old audience listens to now.But that's neither here nor there, to me, its sad that the once great king has to buy callers now.Who's O & A????????

I think you are talking about about the Artists Formerly Known as O&A.The guys on the radio now are shells of their former pre-Sex for Sam selves.They are the guys most of Howard's old audience listens to now.But that's neither here nor there, to me, its sad that the once great king has to buy callers now.Who's O & A????????
A completely different, and much lamer show.

You really do have to hear it. Artie describing himself as a fat faced, unshaven blimp, hovering over their wedding, was gold.
Also calling himself an assbaby because he doesn't have a woman to take care of him was great.

I agree. I used to be a big fan before they got axed. I've listened a few times since and they've really gotten tame. Haven't heard them on XM so I guess they're better on that.I think you are talking about about the Artists Formerly Known as O&A.The guys on the radio now are shells of their former pre-Sex for Sam selves.They are the guys most of Howard's old audience listens to now.But that's neither here nor there, to me, its sad that the once great king has to buy callers now.Who's O & A????????

The callers barely play a part in Howard's show. It's usually longtime friend's of the show, who I enjoy, or guys Howard just bails on for being boring.Anyone catch Hi-Pitch Eric's prank phone call. The one where he talks #### about the ladies crying kid. That was hilarious. Gold.
If you don't have HowardTV you are missing out. Great stuff.

If you have HowardTV, check out the September 11th retrospective. They are on the air when the attacks happen.
Once they realize it's no joke, it's pretty heavy stuff.

Are they nuts going crazy over valentina vaughn?
It's all relative, obviously, but to act like she is the hottest chick ever is insane.

She's pretty hot, and she does have a quality about her that's half-innocent, half-seductive. However, I agree that they hype her way too much. I thought Hilary Scott on the Cybian a couple months back was one of the hottest things I've ever seen.

Have you seen her before? She is insanly hot IMO!
