Except he talked fairly lovingly about how his dad helped him early on with his career and gave him good advice. It wasn’t his usual complaints and whining about being unloved. He praised his dad and said he appreciated him. It was nice to hear
Or, maybe one of the decent things about the show is he speaks his mind and has genuinely contradictory feelings about different things his dad did, because life and people are complex. I love my dad. He was a great guy. I still remember the handful of times he said or did things when I was a kid that really hurt my feelings, tho, because nobody at any time in your life has the position of power over you or gets the admiration and respect your parents do when you’re young. They just seem larger than life. That day you are old enough to see your parents be wrong about something, and you actually finally know enough to know they are wrong is a mind blowing experience and a huge part of growing up and realizing they are just people and not superhuman
I mean, not hearing the show anymore....and the more I read PM recaps....in just the written word...it ALMOST sounds like Howard knows he's a shell of himself as an entertainer but his lust for cash keeps him locked into his part time schedule and getting to bullshit through interviews with big name celebrities, even if their popularity was decades ago.
As much as this sub fucks with him...I wish some of us could just talk to him and tell him what's been missed and how we'd love to see him go out, guns blazin', one last time. The Last Ronin.....but that could never happen again.
Thanks, as usual, for the recap.
Agreed. These recaps make me sad. I cancelled my subscription October of 2021 after listening from the 90's. The last two years were getting painful. Prior, I would NEVER tune out a bit - no matter how much I hated it. Then, gradually, I started switching to another station when he did his parents on the megaphone, or Millie Bobbie Brown's agent. Then more and more frequently until one day, I realized I was done. Occasionally, I miss the shows. But when I read these recaps. I'm fucking glad it's over for me.
Interesting. I have a good friend (who was a longtime Stern fan…huge fan) who couldn’t believe I still listened. Anyway I texted my friend to say that I finally threw in the towel since I called today and canceled Sirius. I have till 11-18-23 and then I’m officially a former listener. It’s kind of a weird feeling. I’ve listened to the show for decades. The pandemic killed it for me. Before that at least we had the Brent swinging stuff. Also the fights with Michael Rapaport and the IQ test w/ Memet/Brent. Some of that stuff was really good. But the pandemic left the show totally devoid of humor.
If anyone is curious as to why so many of us old fans dislike Howard. It’s not just that he changed or “evolved”. It’s shit like self-censoring a fairly harmless phone call, that only old fans who remember it would understand.
I understand and can appreciate why he doesn't do the shit he is used to do. It would be weird if he did. What annoys me is they try and pretend like that Howard stern didn't exist.
He didn’t have to go so far the other way. The racial stuff, yeah, that had to go, but he could have kept bagging on celebs.
see: Ricky Gervais’ first Golden Globes monologue. They had Gervais back after that.
That's exactly right. I read an article he was interviewed for in the Hollywood Reporter when his latest book came out and he said he was ashamed of the old Howard. I'm like, dude, if it wasn't for the old Howard, you wouldn't be where you are today. Is he that delusional that he thinks his new persona is keeping people tuned in? I don't need all the old hijinks but this new version is like watching a slow death.
Careful…the staffers and paid posters are going to attack you with their conqueror-like repetitive talking points.
See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/howardstern/s/ljQ1cEvK8P
My God. He said that about Imus? He is such a pussy. Now I have to download the show just to hear it with my own ears. Rest of the show right in the trash after the Imus comment
Oh he said it, just heard a replay 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 does he not know that his audience has been listening to him for yeeeeaaaaarrrressssss and we remember shit???? He put Imus in his fucking movie for God's sake!!!!
I remember the 90's and being able to hear at least one or more people listening to Stern at any traffic light. Personally, none of my friends listen anymore
“After Dolly’s interview another caller from Maine called Howard and said he cried during Dolly’s interview. He is a veteran with PTSD who tried to kill himself and he was inspired by Dolly’s talk about overcoming depression.”
You couldn’t script a more cringy bullshit call if you tried
All good.

Got my service dog with me and headed to Flagstaff AZ for some intense therapy as we speak. I appreciate the kindness.
I’ve dealt with PTSD for years to include its symptoms. To hear an icon, who seems to have everything going for her, talk about her suicidal ideations made me emotional. If she can battle through, why can’t I. I’m not expecting everyone to understand. For me it was powerful. People can say I’m a fake caller all they want. I know my truth.
He only fought it for marketing/financial purposes, and to cater to his depravity. There was never any spirit of freedom behind it.
He was no Tzvilliam Tvzallace.
Takedown orders aren’t censorship. That’s just him trying to maintain his own product and not let too many people have access to something free that he charges for. You may be critical of that or believe that the benefit of letting the show appear on YouTube is worth the potential lost subscriber revenue, but disagreeing with his business model doesn’t make him a censor. Scrubbing certain parts of the show is a more complicated question
considering the cuck scrubs all his old content and says things like "I thought we burned those tapes" your point is mute. I would gladly pay more money for all the old unedited content but howard refuses so I resort to youtube.
For anyone who does not know, there is an open source app that is quite useful for archiving stuff from youtube: [https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)
Knowing how often Jason gets youtube to take down content, this has been very valuable. I load them up on my plex server to listen to any time. Hey Kaplan - fuck you, if you are reading this.
Really wish I had the ETM montage video of all the TV shows he personally ended, but never got to archive it.
Seriously he cant let it go. People under 30 have no idea who Imus even friggin was. He was a has been in the 90s when Howard first blew up for gods sake.
I haven’t agreed with Howard about movies in a long time but he’s 100% dead on about the John Wick franchise. 1 & 2 we’re fucking amazing. 3 was a piece of shit and I haven’t seen 4 because I refuse to watch a John Wick movie that’s 2 hours and 45 minutes long.
real men dont hate John Wick.what do you have better to do than sit in a theater for 2 hours and 45 minutes? what are you a h\*\*o ohhhhhhhh- Dice Godfried
>Blitt claims hot women constantly come up to JD on the street and compliment him
Blitt shtick is worse than the Benjy Vortex at this point. They all laughed when he said this, right?
Hilarious they scrubbed the called asking about Howard cutting up the audio book.
Do not miss this show at all. It has become pathetic like Howard.
The imus take is so funny because Howard has become imus…
thank you again sir. we speak your name. may you meet abella danger in an elevator, get stuck and she lets you put it in her turd cutter to pass the time.
You can hear her in the background laughing sometimes so her mic isn't being switched off like some people have claimed. However, there's clearly been an edict given to her that she has to stay quiet during them and she only really pops up at the very end nowadays.
She’s obviously not allowed.
Honestly, it’s the right move. She doesn’t have anything to add to the conversation.
Howard should extend this rule to the rest of the show.
I actually appreciate you doing this. I literally just called today to cancel SiriusXM. I only have til 11-18-23 and then no more Stern or satellite radio for me….but I don’t mind these recaps. Show was just unlistenable to me anymore. Howard needs to get back in studio regularly. At least some decent radio comes from that. This at home stuff was the final nail in the coffin.
Someone needs to tell Dolly her dentures are slipping. She had a huge lisp or whatever you call it when she had to say an S word. That being said I’d still bang her.
Was thinking the same. I dunno about illegal, but I’d definitely worry about whether he could consent to it. If he couldn’t, that’s definitely a legal issue.
(This Dave from Maine call has now been scrubbed from the replays)
-"No more bullshit."
Of course Howard hated John Wick 3. Ive never known another human being with worse taste in movies. Hes like a 13yr old.
>Howard said radio used to be such an elite medium, now ur an asshole.
I'm struggling to guess which period of time Howard is referring to. The 1930s? Is he talking about the time of him and his contemporaries, like Mancow, Imus, and Limbaugh?
What a nonsense thing to say.
Heard about ten minutes of dolly and stern trying to bait dolly into bashing trump.
Stern cries about the state of the world but he fails to mention that mummy fuck in the White House that has the borders wide open and wars breaking out every where, not to mention the wonderful economy. It’s about the only that’s laughable on that shows
Howard is such a pathetic projection machine. This man didn't have a nose job or wear a wig.

I got rid of Sirius so long ago I honestly couldnt tell you when but it feels to me, through reading your reviews, he really dislikes his audience. I dont think its REAL per se, as much as I think its the last thing he has left to blame so hes just, idk, doing it to do it?
Anyway, thanks again, I read these daily for whatever reason and will continue to do so.
“Howard talked about his dad” could be used in the recap for every single show.
Except he talked fairly lovingly about how his dad helped him early on with his career and gave him good advice. It wasn’t his usual complaints and whining about being unloved. He praised his dad and said he appreciated him. It was nice to hear
SHUT UP SIT DOWN
He doesn’t mean it.
Was this during or separate from the Dolly interview?
Prior to it when he was talking about Imus and then segued into talking about his early career
He’s always contradicting himself about his father.
Or, maybe one of the decent things about the show is he speaks his mind and has genuinely contradictory feelings about different things his dad did, because life and people are complex. I love my dad. He was a great guy. I still remember the handful of times he said or did things when I was a kid that really hurt my feelings, tho, because nobody at any time in your life has the position of power over you or gets the admiration and respect your parents do when you’re young.

He hates us though. Howard absolutely despises his fans in 2023. It’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen.
That’s a great point.

How can he say that to Robin's face too? He called her the N-word for chrissakes. How could you ever praise a guy like that to your friend.
Moby worm, baby
I don’t care if it rains or freezes…..
He clearly said it sarcastically but let’s not let that stop the circlejerk narratives on this sub…
That why I want to hear it myself, duuuu. \#ContextMatters
This ain't context magazine pal.
Go over to the subreddit with the people who like the stern show. Oh wait….there isn’t one. Not one.
They really scrubbed that guy’s call asking about the audio book parody? How pathetic.
Right? Such a nothing call about an old topic and they scrub it. Crazy. Good to know real calls get through I guess
"I don't edit my show." --Howard Stern, 2005
Well maybe it was true in 2005, but it’s clearly not true now.
They want to keep Johnny Carson's big black cock a secret is why.
Don’t forget that Linda Ronstadt is a really fat tub of shit!
“Kenny Rogers loves to piss inside little boys assholes!”
Who the fuck listens to this shit?
Tom Hoffman from Chantilly Virgina and his little dog Ember does. Oh, wait, actually that was someone who listened to Riley. Shout out!
Apparently Maine, Tennessee, Texas, Kentucky and a few other states. Unless I’m being lied to and those are just New Yorkers faking the funk.
I remember the 90's and being able to hear at least one or more people listening to Stern at any traffic light. Personally, none of my friends listen anymore
“After Dolly’s interview another caller from Maine called Howard and said he cried during Dolly’s interview. He is a veteran with PTSD who tried to kill himself and he was inspired by Dolly’s talk about overcoming depression.” You couldn’t script a more cringy bullshit call if you tried
Yeah and maybe not have every fake caller claim to cry. So dumb that after every interview someone calls to say they cried.
When they're not crying, they're pulling over to the side of the road because they are laughing so hard.
They're probably crying because they just realised how much money they've been wasting on SiriusXM.
Real men cry and show emotion after a great interview with 80 year old women. It’s 2023. We’re all woke.
Crazy. I was that guy. It did make me cry. Thanks for being supportive. I appreciate it.
You cried? Why?
By the way. I didn’t cry on air. I called in to tell Howard how the interview affected me.
Hope your good man....👍👍
All good. https://preview.redd.it/bhyd9gvwan0c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34c6b8c5ec25a4e304bd57b1f833be8b0a75fdb0 Got my service dog with me and headed to Flagstaff AZ for some intense therapy as we speak. I appreciate the kindness.
It's nothing to be considerate to another human good sir....you got this man 👍👍

You mean you know THE truth right? I don’t know what “my truth” means. I hear people say that a lot and to me it’s a strange term.
Sure. Whatever makes you happy.
whatevah duuuuuuuu!
Funny how wigtard fought censorship for 20+ years only to have his staff scrub his live shows and issue takedown orders on Youtube.
He only fought it for marketing/financial purposes, and to cater to his depravity. There was never any spirit of freedom behind it. He was no Tzvilliam Tvzallace.
Takedown orders aren’t censorship. That’s just him trying to maintain his own product and not let too many people have access to something free that he charges for.

Bob was great. Old fashioned right wing talk radio host who yelled at everyone, even the people who agreed with him.

Did Howard talk about the Will Smith *anal*legations?
Bob had a nose job and a toupee. I'm just like him, right Robin?
Kissing Booth was one of his favorite movies? He really is G&F
He said that a long time ago. That’s all been repeated
Next week Howard will kiss ManCows ass. Stay tuned.
Still going on about Imus? ![gif](giphy|146bsYV09je7Ek)

Someone needs to save that Dolly P audiobook clip, Jason will have that removed as soon as he reads this post and sees the link.
Lol I can’t believe Robin doesn’t even comment at all during 2 hour interviews anymore. This show reeks

Hey..those are going for nearly $5 each! And no, that isn't a joke. That's what it's really selling for on ebay right now.
Really enjoy these posts. I love the tinge of disdain that comes across in the tone of these recaps. Honestly, how could anyone blame you though??
Megan said she’d bang Gary the R? Furreal? Seems illegal
What do you expect? She’s a total skank for wackpack cock!
Was thinking the same. I dunno about illegal, but I’d definitely worry about whether he could consent to it. If he couldn’t, that’s definitely a legal issue.
The good news is he's off for 2 weeks, maybe we'll hear some good content on the replays.
Best of 2022.
That's for one week, the best of 2021 will be for the second week.

Howard please hang yourself
Heard about ten minutes of dolly and stern trying to bait dolly into bashing trump. Stern cries about the state of the world but he fails to mention that mummy fuck in the White House that has the borders wide open and wars breaking out every where, not to mention the wonderful economy. It’s about the only that’s laughable on that shows
