Howard Stern 9/10/2002:

"You are listening to the last three years of Howard Stern radio and that's it ... Enough with that ... Let's go out on top ... I don't want to be Imus, sitting there clinging to the microphone like a goddamn crypt keeper. It's over. It was over for that guy 20 years ago ... Go away! Go be with that your wife of yours!"

A lot of the 2002-2004 stuff was due to the FCC. They replayed a bit yesterday when Robin was talking to a caller about anal. Robin said the caller was too tense and had too loosen up. Fred kept playing the farting sound effects.

Well...someone called in and mentioned Andre was chopping the show up like Swiss Cheese. Of course, Howard lost his shit and was begging them to release him from the contract.

Those 4-5 years were definitely good radio, but yeah, he really was out of his mind a bit. I forget the condition...bipolar maybe? OCD? The way he'd snap at Andre and Tom about butchering the show wasn't just manufactured drama for the air.

More from September 2002:

HOWARD: I'm just gonna leave. It's enough. It's enough!
JOHN: How about a 4 day work week?
HOWARD: Nah. The audience gets mad at me if I take a week off. I can't take Fridays off ... I believe radio is a habitual kind of medium. People wake up in the morning, they go to work and want to hear their favorite disc jockey.
ARTIE: Oh, absolutely.
HOWARD: And if you're not on Fridays, you are doing a disservice to the audience. You're not doing your job. You're not doing it right. That's like someone going to work and doing a half-assed job.
...
GARY: So it's all or nothing, then?
HOWARD: All or nothing for me. If you're gonna do this job, you gotta show up everyday and you give it your best. I'm not gonna come do this show and jip my audience. Not gonna do it. Gonna do the best I can.
...
GARY: I get this question every day now. You're out in three years?
HOWARD: I am out in three years!
GARY: It's not a discussion?
HOWARD: It's not a discussion. There's nothing to negotiate.

And we know now that he was courted by XM in 2000, but they didn't actually have a way to receive their signal or whatever it was...they had the idea and the talent.

I think it was 2004 when he took summer Fridays off, but what really hurt was those two-day weeks ten years later so we could do AGT.

Didn't JD spend something like $800 at Scores and he only could get $100 out at a time AND the ATM had that ridiculous fee?

That's the real crime.

Kacey Musgraves was the musical guest on SNL while Sydney Sweeney hosted.

Robin Quivers was nowhere in sight.

Listening to an old show. And here's another Howard quote about marriage from 2002. My morbid fascination continues...

Sept 10, 2002:

Caller: I need to know how to convince [my boyfriend to get married]
Howard: You should never convince a man to get married, number one.
Caller: Why is that?
Howard: Because why do you want to be married?
Caller: Because we do everything else together. We live together. We pay the bills together.
Howard: So why be married? Why be married? Why do you have to be married?
Caller: Because it seems like the next logical step.
Howard: No. You see that's where the difference between men and women exists. There is no logical anything next!
Robin: Let me ask you something...
Howard: Live together!
Robin: ...if this was your daughter...
Howard: Go ahead.
Robin: ...would you want her to be living this way.
Howard: Ask my daughters what I tell them, cuz you'll never believe me.
Robin: I'm asking!
Howard: I tell them don't rush into some dumbass marriage with some dude.
Robin: You're saying get married eventually but don't rush in on it.
Howard: Only get married if you're gonna have kids, and if you're gonna have kids you gotta work things out ahead of time in terms of the legality of it. And I told them they gotta do that. It's the only fair thing. I told my daughters if you're gonna be working girls and you're making money, you don't have to hand your money over to some dude. It's insane!
Caller: But what if you love him, Howard?
Robin: They should hand over their money?
Howard: You love him, so you're with him. He loves you. What do you want from him?
Caller: His last name.
Robin: So, start using it.
Howard: Yeah.
Robin: Change your name legally.
Howard: It's silly. Girls always want to go the next logical step. They always gotta ruin something good. How old are you?
Caller: How old am I? I'm 28.
Howard: You're too young to be married anyway.
Caller: I feel like I'm an old hag.
Howard: No, you're not an old hag. In two years you'll be an old hag.
Caller: So I should just leave it alone?
Howard: Yes, leave it alone. And if you want to be married, go to a different guy that wants to get married. There's no reason to be married.

Indeed. IDK why, but it works for me. Then again, I uploaded it, sooo...

And here's Al Pacino, making me miss the times when Craig Gass would call in as Al Pacino's baby with the doodie caca all over the walls.
