I feel like not having access to Stern in my formative years has really hurt my development and that I've missed out on a big part of life by never really listening to him.
Try and find the History of Howard parts 1 and 2. They are both pretty good and highlight a lot of the old stuff.
My mom would listen to Howard every day on our way to school back when I didn't understand anything about sex and bagina pusssays.
You just have to keep in mind what was going on in radio at the time he was doing that stuff. There was a little more schtick back then, but he was doing stuff nobody had even thought about. I can see how people might not be that impressed with the old stuff if they're looking through the lense of present radio.
BTW heres the list of people coming in soon Nick Canon Seth Rogen Lisa Lampanelli Dave Atell Dave Navarro Richard Simmons Jasmine Tame & Ass Napkin Ed
This is true. It was hilarious to me when you could feel the tension of how hard he was working to censor himself so he could keep a bit rolling. He was also much more easy to relate to when he was married to a normal woman and was making just excellent money and not the millions upon millions he's making now. More of a regular guy although he still manages to pull it off when he isn't bitching about Sirius robbing him. Back then the bits were an enormous part of the show whereas now they take a backseat to the latest celebrity in studio. You will still be hard pressed to find anything funnier on radio than Howard Stern taking phone calls from fat women and backhandedly insulting them (and sometimes outright insulting them) while Richard Simmons sat in studio and cried.
how much do those guys get paid to go on? Like big stars like Rogen or Gaga or Chris Martn, etc? or do they go just for the publicity
you don't get paid. if you're hocking something or a hot chick you'll get a plug but there's zero cash. also the pre-98 stuff is wrong. it's the pre-90s stuff that's really aged poorly. the 90s stuff with Billy West is considered the peak of the show by many fans.
I'm the staff revelations HTV episode from 06 and JD is the best. He is Radio GOLD whenever he is on the Mic
Just went back to get my bearings. I was wrong about 1998. I'd ammend that to pre-1992. For me, anything that predates the E! Show era, at least when I hear it now on the History of Howard replays, is not that good. I don't give a shit about Billy West clips now. The only thing I find midly humorous is the Jackie puppet. Anything from that time period seems to be corny jokes and everyone clapping a lot. I'm sure at the time it was funny, but it doesn't hold up well. For me, Howard's best stuff has been on Sirius.
Really hope he's able to get someone from The Dark Knight Rises as that gets closer. Same for Avengers (Scarlett )
Of all the old shows I've listened to and ones since I started listening live, the billy west era had me rolling the most.
Listening to yesterday's show right now and I have to say Howard is so on point with the whole Jay-Z baby thing and rap music in general. "Ugh, Glory..........................Ugh"
Listening to him run out of oxygen in the middle of telling somebody to shut the.......fuck up kills me. Especially knowing that's what's really happening.
I think that guy has been on there several times in the past to stir Eric up, seem to remember the name Vince, he really hates him.
I'm with bababooey - ETM is ungrateful. What happened to little lupe? Seems like she hasn't been in since the Dave Lampert Sybian ride.
InterPol has allegedly issued an arrest warrant for Lupe Fuentes (aka Little Lupe) in connection with a child pornography investigation. Multiple Spanish new agencies have reported that Lupe allegedly recruited underage girls to appear in pornographic content produced by her former husband, Pablo Lapiedra.
I fucking hate that prick. I wonder how it's going to go. Would be awesome if Mahky Mahk played up the born again angle and got into it with Howard, but I assume he'll be polite and boring.
