He'll join Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddow as people who appear on their shows only once a week. Of course, there's all the once a week shows, like Bill Maher and John Oliver.

Yeah but who takes the reins the rest of the time?

I know BTLS and Scott Ferrall weren't everyone's thing, but it really sucked when the channels were downsized to get rid of them. (Bubba also shot himself in the foot too many times. However, those 2006-2008 shows were awesome. People were talking about how good his FM shows from 2008 were.)

I remember once when Howard was off for two weeks and Bubba took five days of vacation over two weeks' time so we had something live each week.

Scott Ferrall almost never took vacation other than one week in the summer and a week for Christmas.

LOL. What a lazy, greedy bastard.

I hope Robin is doing ok......

I really can't believe that Sirius still pays Stern and people still listen......outside of the dozen site members here, of course. Hahahaha...

I really can't believe that you come here every few years and post the same shit. Why do you think this is some sort of official Stern site? Pathetic.

Actually, he's someone who feels he was scorned by Howard like 20 years ago; and every few years he goes off his meds and whines about it here. As if the 3 people on this forum who listen to Stern give a rat's ass about this snowflake. He's probably a wack-packer.

I see this kind of thing more on political posting than I do about entertainers like Howard. Some people only post about how awful Biden was. Some people only post about how awful Trump is. Some people only post about how awful Hilary is. Or Kamala. The person they target can do no right and Satan himself is less evil. It's never an intelligent discussion. It's just a broken record.

The worst part is they think they're actually contributing something to a conversation. They aren't.

I'm gonna continue talking about the guy like he's not here.

Here's the crazy thing: he was clearly a big Howard fan a long time ago. You can tell by his knowledge of the man and the show. And like many of us, he soured on the show and Howard's schedule over the years. This forum is full of people complaining, and justifiably so.

But unlike the half-dozen occasional posters here, he only shows up every few years, to criticize us DRC members. I think he's been doing this shtick for like 15 or more years.

And it begs a few questions; like how bereft of quality is this dude's life that he feels the need to criticize a handful of total strangers? Also, of all the thousands of Stern forums he can choose, why does he pick one that has 1 regular poster? What does that accomplish?

SFN closed and didn't DawgShed as well?

R/HowardStern is still open, unless he got banned from there.

People change. The same people who criticized Metallica members for cutting their hair would probably have criticized them for having 80s mullets long past the 1980s.

Howard could have retired in 2005, 2010 and definitely in 2015, but...would we really have wanted that? 2015 was 11 years ago...that's like 6th grader age. If he didn't change and still had lesbian strippers on for HowardTV, well...I remember the complaining about people calling in talking about how non-subscribers were missing out on all the hot strippers.

He's in his 70s. If he still had strippers on, they'd be younger than his kids and constantly plugging their OnlyFans accounts.

People complain about the knocks on the door. In 2019 and prior, it was Alex Jones on the monitor.

Nobody is forcing me to listen to Willie's Roadhouse or Shade45. So ya know what? I don't. If people want to, great!
