Off till the 12th, back for 2 weeks and then off for all of August I've heard. That's not including fridays, so you are barely getting 1 week for the summer. Nice fan service.

No way is he taking off all of August. That has to be wrong information. Sirius couldn't possibly allow that.

Howard takes off the first week of August and then the week before Labor day (last week in August).

All these vacations have been like this for years and years (go check Marksfriggin). People just forget but still bitch every summer.

I always forget. Oh well, I usually just relisten to older shows. I would be listening this week (it's a great special), but I heard it again recently.

Did anyone hear Robin today?

[commenting on Sal's wife crying over the way her new car looks]

"Why does she care? It's only transportation"

Yes. Robin, of all people, said this.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

I was gonna bump yesterday, but I ended up in bed all day sick as a dog.





Anywho, I love it when George is on. His bachelor party still cracks me up.

I knew I wasn't crazy. I tuned in this morning only to hear more re-runs. God dammit.

On another note, pretty disappointed Gianna Michaels and that other person refused to do anything on the wheel of sex. It's serious business like Stern said.

Yup, reminded me a bit of the labia girl they were talking about (she came in a few months ago) and the infamous girl who refused to get naked.

As an aside, I thought the Rogen/Apatow, and then just Rogen interviews were great. Rogen was awesome when he just stayed alone with everyone.

I loved that interview too. I loved the whole Catherine Heigl bit when they tore into her for badmouthing Knocked Up.

They also had a great point about her new movie.

Also about her improvising most of her lines in Knocked Up:lol .

Quinten Tarantino?!?

HELL FUCKING YES.




As a reminder for LOST fans, Damon Lindelof is doing a show tonight at 7 with Ralph and Jon Hein. Should be good.
 
The nerd show wasn't bad, but they should have made it two hours long.

And I'd be fine with never having Joan Rivers on again. It's the same thing every time.

Anyone know where I can find the video or audio of Benjy (I think) barking at the security guards at Comic-Con? That shit was hilarious :lol

Who else is thoroughly enjoying the stuff this week?

I'm not saying the pre-Sirius years are better content wise, but the Howard back then had a totally different energy. He was hungry.

He's not anymore. For obvious reasons.

I can't think of anyone who gets paid this much money and takes this much time off work. I think senioritis is kicking in...

While I wish he didn't take so many breaks (or at least space them out better this time of year), this isn't a new thing.

He's been taking the same breaks for alot of years now. Even before he came to Sirius.

I just wish he told us.

Howard Stern sucks, their bi-weekly Joan Rivers interviews and his constant back-tracking on his former views. I used to love listening to him, but about a year ago, I experienced Opie & Anthony and my eyes were opened to what real, funny radio is.

O&A fans have such an inferiority complex. No one listens to them - accept it and move on.

Stern and his fan have such a superiority complex, 1/20th of his former listeners stay tuned in and he still acts like hes the king of the world. Guess having a bunch of porn whores is still
edgy comedy.

Stay classy Stern sheep.

I don't even listen to Stern. I used to watch his show on E, that's about it. I just think it's funny anytime anyone talks about his show, the O&A fans (all 3 of them) come out of the wood work to troll.

I used to listen to Stern when he was on Q107 in the mornings here in Toronto.

That was a long time ago.

I'm now an Opie and Anthony fan. I first started listening right after the Don Imus thing blew up. I've since come to love the show because I like how they have comedians as regular guests, and it doesn't so much feel as if they're being interviewed for an upcoming gig as they are just hanging out and making each other laugh. I'm also a huge Jimmy Norton fan and while he hasn't been on the show much regularily due to his Leno and movie gigs, his effect on the style and shape of the show has been pretty dramatic. I'd have to say their best year on satellite was last year. This year's been pretty solid too but last year was amazing.

Cool story bro.

Jay Thomas is really solid.

Between all the podcasts I listen to now, I don't even turn on my satellite radio. I'm still paying the monthly fee like an idiot though. I need to cancel.

O&A are the ones who aired people having intercourse in a church, right? Their fans are the pillars of class and morality. :lol

I used to listen to O&A during afternoon drive and they made me laugh for about a year, but then it just got to be too repetitive. Same jokes over and over. Same stunts. Same cheesy impressions. Same sarcastic tone ALL THE TIME.

Stern at least switches things up a bit with the guests and his interviews are usually amazing.

Holy shit is Howie on edge while Beth Oates is away. Today he went right after Robin with her narcissism and it wasn't in the joking matter that he did while Dr. Drew was in a while back. Robin is truly an awful person that has a severe inability to connect with people. Great radio.
 
Does anyone else hate Jon Hein as much as I do? They guy has no personality at all. He tries to keep everyone happy and he is just bland and boring. It's like when Howard is talking about the Tradio announcer and that he finally gets interesting when he reveals his personality when Sal and Richard are harrasing him.

Also I think it is pretty clear that Howard and co. are coasting until his contract runs out. What about the show has been revolutionary or special recently? I mean I still find it extremely entertaining and think that the best parts are just Howard and everyone talking about current events but whatever "edge" that he had before that pushed him into doing clever bits or really offensive shocking stuff is gone. The guy is rich as hell, married, and running out the clock on his current contract.

Also, what is this phone number that people are always calling and leaving Gary and other people phone messages? Just a special number they give to wack packers and other insiders? You always hear them playing clips and stuff that they say where left on their answering machines. And they recently played that collection of prank calls that Sour Shoes made to Steve Langford. Are these numbers that anyone can call or do they only give them out to insiders?

Howard is definitely an underrated interviewer. I honestly can't think of a better one.

I listened to him for years and couldn't stand his interviews. Artie does a much better job than Stern himself.

This. I had a number for the back office when they were at KROCK. I got it from a friend that had a cousin who interned for them. If you called after hours, you would get the voicemail. I had one for Gary's office, and one for KC's office. I'm sure if you dig around you could find a business listing for the show though.

??? This statement makes no sense. When have you ever even heard Artie interview anyone? Howard gets celebrities to admit to and talk about things that they never would talk about with other interviewers. There is a reason that after a celebrity comes on his show the subjects they talk about are almost always picked up on by other media outlets.
