Only listened through the 9:00 hour, but really barely touched on it. After screwing around the first half hour, a caller brought it up and Howard basically just said that it is a private matter and that he wasn't really going to comment.chet said:
I'm not sure about that, he always seemed pretty surprised they had actually kept him this long. This is a guy who had physically attacked a co-worker, quit on air and they brought him right back.
Jim Brewer!
I know that's the rumor and I'm a big fan of Breuer but I'm not sure if it's a good fit. Breuer likes to be in control. But I'm sure he's aware of the money Artie started getting in stand-up once he joined the show and would take a backseat. He grew up as a big fan of Howard.
If the guy can't make it on a regular basis, they need to replace him. I like Artie, but the show is not the same with just Robin & Howard. The show needs a 3rd voice.
Just did the same thing. I was all prepared to cancel, but $88 is a good price. Hopefully by this time next year we will know what Howard has planned for the future, but I doubt I will re-up at full price even if he signs on for another contract. I'm another one that thinks he is phoning it in more and more lately - one can really tell that the quality has dropped after listening to the "Best of" material.As for Artie, I think it's time to cut him loose already. It's getting harder and harder to find amusement in his material given his recent issues, and I listen for a laugh - not a depressing look into his ongoing problems.
That's less his fault than it is Howard's. Ever since he started going to therapy 3 times a week, he feels the need to psychoanalyze everyone. It gets tiresome now and again.
ugh - depression and drugs is an awful combination - here is a guy who came from nowhere and should be having the time of his life and just can't enjoy it - I can't imagine how he could do that to his poor mom - anyone read his book - very interesting....get well soon Artie - but he needs to take care of himself and leave the show
I just called to cancel, but got a different deal: 5 mos for $12 total (2/month roughly). It knocks $60 off what I would've paid for the next 5 mos. and I can still call back in June to cancel or renegotiate. At that time, i'll probably be looking for new car and I don't know if I'd get Sirius again.
Do you have to wait for your expiry date to threaten?A friend and I share an account, and we paid for 2 years in 2008, so we have 1 year left (Dec 28th) already paid in full.
Not sure - I have been on a monthly plan and it's been 15+ months since my last call to them (when I had them pay for new antenna for my car). The guy today said that if I'm not happy with things, to call back in June before my account switches to a quarterly plan at full rates. I have the total Sirius package FWIW.
Just put it on. Did I miss his RARE bit about crystal meth being a good drug if you need to walk to St. Louis some weekend?
That and the one where his mom yells and is motherly in the same tone."GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.........THERE ARE CHICKEN CUTLETS IN THE FRIDGE"
Speaking of predictions, did anyone hear the Tiger Woods special this past weekend? I missed it but supposedly they put all the clips together of him talking about Woods from many years ago. How he was gonna lose control because of how he's been trained so hard to play golf his whole life. Bob Schimmel's appearance was amazing today. Oh boy...
Agreed 100%. He had settled into being Artie's straight man over the last couple of years. With Artie being gone, the angry, edgy Howard is back.It also might be the same as a ballplayer suddenly working his ### off to have a great season when it's a contract year.Either way, it's been very entertaining.He's been as funny as I've ever heard him lately.
I can only take so much manufactured schtik from Howard. I really miss Artie's comedy.Agreed 100%. He had settled into being Artie's straight man over the last couple of years.

I haven’t listened to Howard in years. That was funny. I can't believe he is still railing on her. Kathy Lee is Howard's muse.
Agreed. Railing on Gary for an hour because he dared put a "stool" in his media room is not enjoyable radio.I can only take so much manufactured schtik from Howard.

NICE! hopefully its up on youtube at some point.Janks doing Steve Bartman to Dan Patrick is great. Couldn't find it on internet last time I checked.Just witnessed my first live Stern crank call -- on Sportscenter tonight, they had an exclusive interview with Brian Westbrook after he'd been cut today.It was a pretty typical interview...Westy said that he was going to miss playing in Philly, that he'd made a lot of friends both on and off the field......and then he said that he looked forward to spending the next several years massaging Howard Stern's prostate.
What's illegal about it?
And Janks has probably had to answer thousands of them. You make enough of these calls, you learn what to say to get on the air.I am kinda surprised he got in under the pretense of actually being Brian Westbrook, though.How do these guys get in to be able to pull off these jokes? You'd think ESPN has some sort of security questions/measures in place to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen.
you would think ESPN would have westbrook's agent or the team or somebody's phone number in a database and would be able to confirm his cell #.Did they really think that Westbrook's first priority on the day he's cut from the only team he's ever played for was to call SC.And Janks has probably had to answer thousands of them.

I think Van Pelt might have wet his pants. LMAO at Brian Westbrook massaging Howard Stern's prostrate.The reaction to that is fantastic."Hi !"
The reaction to that is fantastic."Hi !"
classic. I like SVP, but he had absolutely no idea how to handle that
they said on the Stern show today that SVP is a pretty big Howard fan and he was glad that it happened to him.The reaction to that is fantastic."Hi !"
