Status: offline 		Since it's been mentioned several times now, it's only half a jack.....I pay for radio because I spend a lot of time sitting in Northern Virginia traffic now and the radio stations here totally suck.  I'd kill to have Bob & Tom again, but for some inane reason, they're not in the DC market....!?!  And commercials....they do manage to play a little bit of music between 15 minute commercial breaks.  You can circle around the entire dial and have a commercial on every station.  I've done it. 

Therefore, I pay a few bucks each month to have the ability to play something I want to listen to when I want to listen to something.

I really miss the Greaseman!

Any fans on here?


I guess I'd be considered a "fan", I had a subscription for the internet version of XM,and used to listen sometimes. However, I eventually canceled it, as generally I'd forget I had it, and just listened a couple times a month.

Anyway, he should give away the shows for free like a week after original broadcast, ad supported. He'd get more listeners,as now after you mentioned it, I feel like listening again.

it may have been sirius, can't remember anymore

It was actually Howard Stern who did that on his show. DirecTV used to carry it in the late evening, I just don't recall which channel it was.

..and yea, it was pretty appalling...

Status: offline 		I was never much into Howard Stern.  He seems to be obsessed about lesbians and anal sex (has that changed over the past few years?), seems a bit sophomoric to me.  I now get my jollies listening to The Herd on ESPN, which can sometimes get a bit sophomoric, except over sports and sports stars.  I have XM radio and I absolutely love it and think it's one of the best things I pay for.

My wife, or x wife, says that all men are mentally 12 years old and have arrested development.  That tends to explain why we like Stern and watch Mad Mad fifty or so times.

Status: offline 		Agreed, its a sophmoric guy thing, but really thats what every guy is, we all find the most inane and stupid and childish things to be kept in our primal consious called guy humor. Farts, shit, boobs, funny names like"Harry Sac", it all gets lumped in there, the Stern show just allows guys to embrace this primal facet of humor within all of us..and not just "low brow" jerkoffs either, any longtime listener of the show knows that the range goes from longshoremen to social workers, a shitload of cops and military, and eccspecially highly regarded businessmen, lawyers and doctors, people who anyone would look at and think of being stuffy or high society or far too disciplined to be willing to run amuck with "that kind" of humor.

Those people are ussualy the biggest fans.

One thing that I get a bit bristled about is how people judge the whole show just from what may be seen on TV, one has to remember those things like the E! show where simply highlights of certian things which where visual in nature only, they arent going to show the other 4-5 hours of time on the show where everyones just bullshitting and other bits...thats where the comedy gold is at, thats where the addiction emerges, I could give two shits about some girl showing a nice rack or riding the sybian, let me hear a story about Artie when he was in a pig suit doing coke or lemme hear Howard calling up his mom to mess with her...thats what the fans like me happily pay for nowadays.

And as for anything really appaling...noone will agree with howard 100% on views of course, and maybe he will do something that even the most untightassed of us may get a bit riled at (for me its his whole not seeing a big deal with Jane Fonda) but one thing can be said about the man, no matter what the situation, no matter what the morbid, offensive un-PC deal may be...he can make it funny...and he has the gift of even making the people he may ridicule laugh, or hell, manage to make a situation so laughable in and of itself that it all dissolved in a fit of stupid little man-boy giggles, the Dolly Parton lawsuit being a good example.

Cmon, ya'll thought you'd mention Stern and I wouldent appear from the CM shadows?

Alright, 4am here, I got you know who on the radio, and I'm still studying for a NREMT..I still suck at antibiotics and blood vessel BS, getting better at IVs though, pretty soon hangovers will be a thing of the past.

P.S Katy: Lesbians still going strong (when arent they?) but anal sex quesions have taken a bit of a back burner latley, the main gotcha question so far has to do with tossing salad.

Status: offline 		I liked his show when I was stuck in traffic & would listen every morning. If I didn't like the show I'd change the station.  Regarding him making fun of people disfigured or with other disabilities, people appear on his show to be made fun of just to meet him so I don't believe it's all on him though I do agree he's sophmoric but more often than not he's funny. Sometimes he just makes fun anyway & if that's the case & it's offensive to me, again I changed the channel.
Once he moved to a pay station I stopped listening. Not interested in paying to listen to radio. No I don't have cable either......

E.   (OK you can debate me on the nitrogen...but you get those really cool little green valve covers!)

Status: offline 		As a rep for the Satelite Radios programs, I have the opportunity to listen to what ever channel I want on either side of the programming. However, I do pay for a subscription to Sirius side only. Just so I can listen to Howrad and Bubba while I am on the road. And like most of you, I do not always agree with what he does or says, same goes with Bubba and his crew. However,  do respect the fact that he does lay it out there and challenges you to think about what he says. It is not always great radio, but it is usually damn entertaining.

The very best radio i ever heard wasn't radio at all. It was the spoof stations in GTA San Andreas. i used to find myself a nice car, get in and just drive around listening to cool music and laughling like a loon to the ads and announcer chats.....
