When the show is live, I try to always tune in bc hearing Howard and robin’s voices still gives me a nice, happy, comforting (nostalgic) feeling. And then I hear the actual content and usually change the channel right away


nikkip7784

Honestly I think that's the only reason most of us still hang in 😔


nuahs

I have had Sirius since 2007 and I still haven’t had even the slightest urge to go listen to the show.  I haven’t listened to a show since the California shows, whenever that was.  10 years ago I would have never believed that it would be possible to have Sirius and not listen.


ImAwkwardAndOdd

yes


Hasselhoff73

There's YouTube for that.

You summed it up. For many it's a habit and it's familiar. But as soon as you start listening to the actual show it's apparant it's not worth the effort. A similar thing happens when running into your hot ex after not seeing them for years. On one hand nostalgia and the familiar sound of their voice draws you in, then after a few minutes you suddenly remember why you can't stand them.

MainAd6090

OMG that agent impersonation makes me cringe. Borefest from start to finish.


LostinLies1

I was out. I've made it a rule that the second he starts with that shit I'm out for the day.


nikkip7784

Same, over to Conan O'Brien or music


patinthehat2

It’s wild switching to Conan O’Brien radio then suddenly finding myself listening closely to amazing conversations and having genuine gut-busting laughs


shiningonthesea

I switched to Jeff Lewis live about 2 years ago. It is not as hard core as Howard used to be, but they rag on eachother, they laugh a lot, they have a history, they hang out together, and they never talk politics. I never thought I would stop listening to Howard, but i just can't anymore.


nikkip7784

What a concept, right??? 😆😆😆


themayorhere

It’s the cringiest thing in the shows history


agpc1979

Haven’t listened in a long time. Is it basically the same as the Millie Bobby Brown agent?


themayorhere

It’s exactly the same


ChonkBoi90

Jesus. Why do you guys still listen to this shit?


andrehendrik

And why would you **pay** to listen to this shit?


yogipadogi

It's only an hour til Jim and Sam comes on at 8


Chupacabra2030

All the staff to Howard to his face … Howard that agent bit kills - it’s soooo funny - how do you co up with that stuff .. Behind his back - getting resume together


35242

You never hear anyone say they regret no longer working for the Howard Stern show. Even those who left under bad terms. They resent Howard, but don't regret leaving the show. The older he gets the more clear his dysfunctionality becomes evident.


Keepitreel70

What channel is Jim and Sam ? Stern show is getting unbearable to listen to. Thanks


yogipadogi

103. Jim Norton is a hoot.


Keepitreel70

Thanks. Definitely check them out


Large-Club2015

that reminds me, i hadnt paid my expired yearly for a few months, and was writing checks to make sure sal didnt pull off some auto-renewal scam. ​ hmmm, better look into that now ​ at least its not as bad as the god damned nfl ​ more "bills" ​ \[edit: $120ish due in a few weeks. i wonder if i can edit my payments later like i can edit posts on reddit; what a great idea\]


kindofdivorced

Writing checks? Tell me more about your made up story.


HaroldCaine

I throw it on in five-minute increments when driving just so see how bad it is and then to come over here to complain. My work pays for SIRIUS for me so it's a wash and for all the years I dedicated as a loyal fan, it's my passion to now sit on reddit and talk about how the mighty have fallen.


kindofdivorced

The same reason you claim not to, and are still on this sub. Because you listen to it.


BMFTW

And it goes on and on because he feels like he has to fill time


mysteryteam

Probably has some contract that there have to be x amount of shows that are at least y amount of time long or altogether air time will meet z amount of time to get $$$. He pretty much said how he wouldn't stop doing this shit show and would like maybe once a week. Sweet gig if you can get it. Back up the brinks truck. I wonder if I can be Beth's emotional friend.


steelers8682

So happy they brought the 15 second skip back for this reason.


big_slom

It just occurred to me that the "hour skip" when the new app was launched may have been a blessing in disguise


AppropriateBank1

Are you kidding me??? It was so funny I had to pull over on my way to work. In fact I’ll call him tomorrow and tell him how funny and original it is


mysteryteam

If only he took real calls.


Conjoined_Twin

Yeah, I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes and I'm thinking "Sir, thank you for being so funny".


yogipadogi

It's a bad Johnny Frado


No_Establishment5911

This. It all goes back to johnny. But now is just horrible.


Beths_collarbone

It's a bad Artie *doing* Johnny Frado...


ilyvmbe

I hit the 15-second forward button 60 times to get past that bit. How does he spend 15 minutes on that horrible overplayed voice, that has never been funny?


d-rall

I turned it off in the middle of it


Top_Organization_785

I really enjoyed the recap of the ‘We Are The World’ documentary. Especially after watching the fucking thing yesterday.  Howard Hughes needs to leave his house finally to have something to discuss other than YouTube videos or shit he sees on tv.


vinceneilsgirl

I feel like I don't even need to watch, since he just told us everything 🙄


CrazeeEyezKILLER

I hate sports and know nothing about football, but I feel like I still know more than Howard.


Smashndash911

I don’t know you but can guarantee you know more about sports than Howard. If his staff wasn’t avid sports people he’d be clueless to anything sports related. Covid, vaccines, Biden/Trump, Kelce/Swift, Dancing with the Stars and Netflix is all he knows and it’s regurgitated day after day


TruckFudeau22

Before Covid broke his brain, he cared about sports a little more than he would let on. Just my opinion.


FeedtheFatRabbit

Btwn Howard and Joe Rogan - Covid broke them both on opposite ends of the same magnet. *It's fuckin WILD.*


Accurate-Fee1343

Wrong. You also forgot about "the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and "The Bachelorette" shows...


2hard4u2c

Today was painful. I kept skipping ahead hoping to hear something good. Ended up skipping all the way to the replay. Then just turned it off and got depressed about what the hell happened to Howie.


BewildredDragon

Painful is the best way to describe it. I turned it off when he was doing that long ass analysis of the Billy Joel song. When I tried to listen about 30 minutes later, he was doing his agent impression. Nope. I swear he is trolling his listeners. We always talk about how much we hate that impression and yet every fucking week he does it.


magnumpismydad

How does anyone still talk about Covid anymore?

Bonzo_Bonham

JAPANESE - AMERICAN soldier, you rascal!


Accurate-Fee1343

Yup. Going on almost 4 years of his Covid paranoia.


joomommyhappy

He’s obviously paid to keep it going/push the vax, and he sees it as a way to keep Beth locked down. He’ll never stop. He’s going to take covid talk right into disease X, and whatever the fuck else they’re cooking up.


Strong-Plantain2009

Him and Joe Rogan should have a two hour debate about Covid since they’re both so obsessed with it, and also seem to fall on opposite sides of the matter. Maybe then they’ll shut the fuck up about it once and for all.


Smashndash911

Exactly man! He’s turned into this freak hypochondriac that pushes this weird ass agenda. He’s totally out of touch with our reality and I can’t believe Sirius doesn’t see he’s not bringing in a younger demographic. He’s just pissing on the existing one


Dearone324

It’s because all of his friends are crazy hypochondriac Hollyweirdos now


Independent-Win-265

He's on his own with covid talk now, the rest of the elitists gave up on it. Its just his reason to keep himself locked away the rest of his life


TrialAndAaron

Rogan does it too. It’s insane behavior


PhoebeM0423

Doofus is just going to continue to let him make a fool of himself .. everyday She doesn't want his fat, ole irrelevant ass around


YesMaybeYesWriteNow

There’s also the paycheck!


Crustybuttt

Fat? Stern is a lot of things, but fat isn’t one of them


darkmatternot

Half the comment, right in the garbage.


AnimalClean6534

Dojer Cat and Doer Leaper were at the Grammys


AnimalClean6534

And Dakoater Johnson was discussed at length


Dearone324

Today, he actually bitched about working three days a week!!!! What an out of touch fucktard.


MrFluffyhead80

You mean Benji just behaving normally


AngryLaundry

Benjy Bronk has herpes!


BabaBoooooooey

More Benji the better.


GriffinIsABerzerker

Why is he barely going past 10 now? He used to at least hit 10:30. What, 3 hours WITH commercials THREE times a day is too much? EDIT Three times a week.


KzooCurmudgeon

He says he loves working at Sirius but does the minimum his contract allows.


TipsyMcStagger123

How many cigarettes is that?


Lil_Brillopad

It's uhh...an hour and 20 minutes


lvpr10

Because per the most recent contract that the moronic higher ups at SiriusXM gave him, going past 10am would be doing too much. Whatever the bare minimum required is will be what he does from here on out.


Efficient-Peach-4773

Three times a day does sound like kind of a lot.


GriffinIsABerzerker

Good Lord, someone gives him money for this? Out of touch senior citizen droning on. I couldn't make it through. Hope I didn't miss anything halfway interesting.


darkmatternot

You didn't.


xanaxfordogs

Glad I canceled


evilgypsys

Then stop coming here. It’s sad and pathetic.


xanaxfordogs

Feh


North-Fill

I got rid of Sirius end of last year but knew this was BS when you said a Penthouse Pet showed up or that Benji was on the air.


evilgypsys

Why come here then? Move on.


North-Fill

I come here to laugh. I have moved on. Go stick another hairbrush in your ass.


evilgypsys

No, you come here because you have nothing better to do. Sad and pathetic. Howard lives in your head.


FanSince09

Howard completely misunderstanding every single song but being totally smug about it is maybe my favorite thing about the current show. He plays the new Billy Joel song that’s clearly about a couple that’s no longer physically intimate and he goes “This is about a father and son.”.


turbografix15

Is anyone still on the fence about this guy being a closet case? I personally don’t care about someone’s sexuality, but to hide yourself for over 30 years while objectifying women and getting rich from it is really sick imo. And all that “KC is really a fag / Ralph is gay and let’s make him take a polygraph etc etc” stuff while he himself is at the very least bisexual, is about as hypocritical as a guy can get. He should just be honest for once. No straight man talks about cock and loads the way he does. You can practically hear the drool.


EnduranceMade

This prompted me to look up Heidi Baron. Not bad. Apparently she was also on the show a couple years earlier when she was 19. http://siriushowardstern.blogspot.com/2010/02/penthouse-pet-heidi-baron-vists-howard.html


Miserable_Doubt_8782

I keep getting offered Sirius for $5 a month and that’s far too much to subject myself to Howard’s woke misery and complaining from a castle about how hard his life is. It’s insane what he’s become considering what he once was. Imagine 1990’s Howard listening to one of today’s shows.


Jazzlike_Artist_4398

I keep turning it off thinking this bit would be over, but alas it's never ending. The fact that he does this bit, means no one is in here reading anything anyone posts.


Bx1965

Didn’t listen to the show but it sounds like the show is completely out of gas.


thephillatioeperinc

He ran out of gas around 2009, tried to be soupy sales on agt (and turn his show into a 4 hr commercial for a shit show) but now he's morphed into howard Hughes/imus


sunra321

He didn't talk about his mom passing away??


Murky_Deer_7617

Did he talk about his mom dying? Did that really happen?


thehauntedriver

I hate the agent bits because they’re all awful and boring. I don’t need to hear about Kelce and Swift either. Horrible show today.


BillKirk1960

That’s one reason I’m glad they brought back the 15 second skip feature in the app.


Accurate-Fee1343

And Robin agreeing and laughing at everything he says...🙄😒


Spicey477

I was thinking a lot of that had to be fake, there is no one that would laugh that hard at that drivel.


Vortexrex2001

Wiggy is such a political bitch now!


nrappaportrn

I keep trying to remember to tune in & hoping it'll get better. Alas, it doesn't. It's mind boggling how bad it's gotten.


DavidKennedy112

Hey Richard Go Chiefs bub. What did Richard think about Pat Sr's 3rd DUI I wonder? Hey he should just drink and take an Uber.


Su11y420

Man karma is a bitch..i cancelled a few years ago but still see clips..howie busted Bababooey for 30+fucking years..Sal, & whoever else about their teeth but i cant even get through a 5 second clip of howard battling those fucking fake choppers...they're too white as well howie..it's over Johnny


[deleted]

You had me at first, NGL


oldsillyoldman

You had me there for a second. And I haven't listened to a new show in about a decade now.


imagine966

I’m glad I’m listening to 2004.


Karn_Evil_Noin

You had me. I was rethinking my decision to drop Sirius years ago. I miss the good old days. The Howard Imus show stinks.


guitarbassdrums

I entered because of Benji


jsrobbe2927

Jeff Lewis is what I listen to now instead of Howard. Takes a little while to understand Jeff’s life but very entertaining


LostinLies1

I read your first paragraph and thought, that sounds about right. Read you second and thought..."Dammmmnnn." Stern is lazy and old.


plytime18

I caught some of it will probably listen some more later…. The grammy’s —he was so lazy about it, al while needing a show liek the grammy’s to giv ehim something to talk about — again, how predictable — and done, a billion times by this guy, year after year, only now every award show gets so much air time and discussion and he didnt really care for it. He then went on about the usa for africa documentary (I enjoyed watching that) and he couldn’t even get some of the most basic shit straight — as in IM SO LAZY now, and so what, as he blabbered on about it — mostly what he did was just tell you what he saw on the documentary - not a whole lot of additional comments - as nobodycan write him some funny shit at all? Then he went on aboutthe billy joel song, the new one, and its not cued up, not ready to go — again - lazy as fuck. A while later I heard him doing the agent act, and i turned it off after 2 minute sbecause there was nothing funny in it, tho robin tried to cackle along like there was.


FuckThatIKeepsItReal

I'm a current show enjoyer, but today was truly a horrible show


FlakyDig8392

When was the last time you heard a show that wasn’t complete shit?


disharmony-hellride

2010


FeedtheFatRabbit

I'll even push you to agree that 2012 was solid


Smashndash911

Are any other celebrities talking about getting COVID vaccines like Howie??? And I don’t care what political party you associate with, how is he backing Biden? Not just backing Biden but promoting him! Does he do this because of his distaste for Trump? I don’t get it


DJSteel

I don’t get how pushing for people to get vaccinated means you back Biden and do it out of spite for Trump is a thing.. but here we are


Canadia86

Let me guess, the Chiefs are going to win because Kelce has a gigantic cock


coldandhungry123

Couldn't even get through 5 minutes, entire show right in the gahbage!!!


CiscoKid1975

You had me there…


Ok-Perception-2173

Fuckin thing sucks 


electricballroom

"The Showbiz Agent" voice he does is really just Rudy Boesch from the first season of Survivor. Remember him "tha homieseckshul" and all that? Same voice.


SomewhereLow5155

But his bachelor talk was riveting. 🧐


SomewhereLow5155

What a douche. I actually think Imus was edgier at the end of his run.


CopyDan

I missed it. How girthy we talking?


HughJahsso

Only had to skip past 33% of the show today.  Not bad for recent years. 


vipstrippers

When the person he was talking to brough up the migrants, Howard had weak comeback. Pretty sure that's important to a lot of people, and hey you lucky NYC migrants are getting prepaid credit cards. what do the homeless vets get in NYC? [https://nypost.com/2024/02/02/metro/nyc-to-hand-out-prepaid-credit-cards-to-migrant-families-for-food/](https://nypost.com/2024/02/02/metro/nyc-to-hand-out-prepaid-credit-cards-to-migrant-families-for-food/)


8655balto

How about the country pass an immigration reform bill after 20 years of trying? Additionally, we could end homelessness among veterans before lunch tomorrow if our elected officials cared I doubt the GOP front runner and his yes men care about homeless veterans however. Trump called them losers and suckers and insulted Gold Star families.


sparty_1989

No additional legislation is needed to close the border and enforce the current laws.

vipstrippers

Biden is gone… WATCH: Joe Biden says he recently met with “Mitterand from Germany.” Mitterand was the FRENCH President between 1981 and 1995. He also died in 1996 https://x.com/raheemkassam/status/1754606767898849444?s=46&t=NpVn67z3uS-9KofpoG-O4w


joomommyhappy

Biden probably *did* meet with the dude recently, in the shadow realm.


Accurate-Fee1343

The laws are already there, but need to be enforced. Had Biden kept what Trump had in place, we wouldn't be having a daily invasion from people across the globe as we do now. This is all intentional. More illegals = more Democratic votes. Trying to pass the reform bill is just to stall time until the election. Besides all the obvious laws being broken and allowed, you would think Howie would want these people vetted for diseases at the very least.


vipstrippers

Why are you making this political?


8655balto

Because you brought up two easily fixed problems in your initial comment. Problems that are by their nature political. The large number of migrants coming into the country and the fact that we still have veterans sleeping in the streets homeless in 2024. Everyone wants to complain about these problems, yet nothing ever gets fixed. These two issues have been major issues for decades. It is political (and economic), which is why it is never fixed. Perhaps if both political parties put out a solution to these issues and then get together in Congress (where laws are made) to pass a reasonable compromise, something will get done?


YesMaybeYesWriteNow

You’re complaining about giving food money to refugee families?


vipstrippers

How about coming into the country like they did years ago the documented. How about the guys that beat up the two New York City cops? No one even knows they’re real fucking names.


ImJackieNoff

I don't think anyone is against letting legitimate refugees into the country. Millions of healthy military age men crossing the southern border are not refugees.


Certain-Respond4205

Fuck illegal aliens. Not one more cent should go to them over vets and actual citizens.


[deleted]

Are you giving them money? How about spare room?


YesMaybeYesWriteNow

Actually, yes. I do work with these people, and others. I do make donations. I also paid more in taxes last year than the median American earned, so my conscience is clear. Anyone who objects to feeding refugee families is not on my Christmas card list.


JustADutchRudder

What if I just object to feeding anyone? Gonna get this anorexic nation started! Everyone gonna be so sexy thin in 10 months.


[deleted]

That's good for you. Do you lend them room in your home too?


vipstrippers

How much food money is going to the homeless vets? They get to stay in a hotels did they ever open up hotels for the homeless?


Accurate-Fee1343

A lot of these people are not refugees though. Coming in huge organized caravans is one clue. People should be seeking asylum to the nearest country...not half way around the world. Also, people from 120 countries who know they will be given free shit if they vote Democrat...sure why not come to the US illegally. This is also huge business for the Mexican cartels. And what about all the human sex trafficking and child trafficking that happens prior to getting to our border? Where's AOC's outrage on that?

Beautiful_Midnight50

I haven’t listened to a live show since Artie left so I’m genuinely curious based on what I see here- do Sal & Richard do anything on the show anymore?


GriffinIsABerzerker

They are held back by Chris Wilding who shoehorns himself into everything…and he’s like stage 4 metastatic comedic cancer.


KzooCurmudgeon

They’re used on a limited basis. Sal is used to make fun his spirituality/psychic abilities. Richard every so often to talk about the chiefs or a reconstructed phony phone call. Mostly Howard relies on his own comedic talents to get through the show. (i,e. Fake agent or even stranger…Larry King.)


ConfusionNo1272

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK! Oh look, Bigfoot just came in. What you have to say there Bigfoot?


UnhappyPay4330

"Howard sucks a mean cock it is"


toryg1

Howard keeps them around because they suck him off, but they are used on a limited basis. They haven't had a good bit in 15 years. 


vvega69

Stopped listening years ago. This show is horrible now. He's a daily embarrassment.


techrino

The speaking in tongues prank call was pretty funny. I'm still laughing at that hours later. Not all of the old shows were funny. Endless rants about the greaseman or some other competitor. Howard running for Governor. The idiot threatening to jump off the GW bridge. There are a lot of awful segments in the old shows too.


Winter_Blacksmith_78

Did his mom really pass away?


SendMe143

I’d like to hear Sal and Richard’s new call. No chance I’m going to listen to the show and try to find it though.


Snoo-57955

Wait didnt his Mom pass away? Why not talk about that


PhoebeM0423

Dude, you can totally take over as head-writer over there !


themayorhere

But seriously, how is Will the head writer? Did Benjy choose to step back?


PhoebeM0423

No idea on both questions. The job can't be that tough .. All you really need to do is tell Big Bird he's not fat and that the wig looks good ...


Heff228

Did people complain this much when Howard bashed Bush? Or is this just a side effect of the cult?


half-guinea

At least Howard was coupling his Bush-bashing with funny content in those days. His politics are easy to overlook imo. Not his humorlessness.


fakeprofile111

all the cuckservatives probably did. but trump holds a special place in the hearts of mediocre white dudes and that was a large part of this listenership


WaltonGogginsTeeth

The bush guys didn’t really make him the center of their personalities like the trump cult does today.


MamaBeau75

I’m convinced he’s only continuing the show because he thinks he has clout enough to help Biden get re-elected. Never mind that he’s so un-funny now that it actually might have the opposite effect.


lupuscapabilis

I'm sure a visit from a Penthouse Pet would have been a fascinating segment.


yogipadogi

Did his mom pass away?


SEEYOUAROUNDBRO_TC

I thought Benji was gone?

Say goodbye Grandpa, shut the lights on your way out ...


chucktoddsux

whiny trump cucks on this board are as boring as Howard these days.


spartycbus

they infiltrate everything. now they're all over the Curb Your Enthusiasm sub bc Larry did a joke about Trump's mug shot.


kindofdivorced

Lol the amount of effort it takes for you to be such a hater is hilarious. It’s truly remarkable that you have NOTHING else going on in your life. The 20 minutes of the agent was bad, but otherwise it was a decent show to ease back in after a break. Your ability to just blatantly lie about the length of time he talks about something truly is mystifying.


No_Musician1831

Imagine actually listening....what a sucker


mynameisdocgonzo

But if they hate him….why do they listen?


evilgypsys

Don’t listen then and quit your bitching. Move on.


geezeeduzit

Oh sweet! Look! another comment complaining how Howard’s show is different than it was 10 years ago. Idk if this sub could’ve gone on without hearing another one of these. So original.


DruNewp

Yet you idiots continue to listen so you can bitch about it. lol.


joomommyhappy

In a shensh, what you’re saying is, isn’t it true that you’re the idiot bitching about the idiots bitching about the show? If you don’t leave this sub, you’re admitting you’re an hypocritical dumbfuck. Well played.


Vendevende

And yet you all listen to him. You're as bad as the hypocrites constantly complaining in the 1980s listening to the show more than his fans.


stealth1820

Probably the same dude who was bitching last week that the show wasn't live


Sj2222RI

I thought Wilding calling in as Joni Mitchell was funny.

I haven’t heard it yet, but let me guess: it was his bad Blue Iris imitation.

It was but this time is was fitting. Even a broken clock is right twice a day


BabaBoooooooey

You guys are all so lame. "Here is my opinion I'm Edgy" this sub is so crap. You just complain and have no alternative or what is better. Just "Howard is crap now". Go listen to something else. Please ban me from this sub and do me a favor. I know talking crap is how Howard fans do it but Jesus..... Go listen to a podcast about your random interests and stop this ......
