I can't believe anyone listened to this crap longer than 2-3 months during the 1990s. Boring.

I finally got rid of sirius last month.

Only reason I had it was for Stern, but his interviews have become to infrequent and with less and less interesting guests.

Also, his interview style seems to be changing. He over researches his interviewee and is constantly interjecting "but isn't it true that..." he can't let the guest tell a damn story without cutting them off to show he knows some other obscure fact about them.

Marc Maron and Joe Rogan are much better interviewers.

Him not filling the Jackie/Artie seat is hurting. He needs a guy to rift with. I personally liked Jackie more. The introduction of the Jackie puppet is still GOAT radio

Maybe it was because the show just sucked.

Lately I just love the bobo and Ronnie shite. And it's not so much them but Fred making fun of them. When they were talking about bobo and carmine's shrines I fricking lost it.

The show has definitely evolved during the Sirius years. The early Sirius years were incredible. Still a great show, just different priorities.

Ronnie is fricking hilarious. The dude is certifiable with some of the shite he says. I laugh anytime he is on.

Richard and Sal are also great.

Memet is funny with Tan Mom.

Prank calling angry political guy and tradio are good bits

Medicated pete is underrated as frick

Sour shoes is a retarded genius

I've listened to countless hours of Howard since I was like 12. I'm 28 almost 29 so that's a huge chunk of my life.

I've always been a fan. But he has sucked for a while now. There are still flashes of greatness but the old Howard is long gone. He's a borderline SJW now which is bizarre. He should have called it quits 5 years ago to save his legacy.

no, AGT was

he wanted mainstream acceptance and destroyed his show in that pursuit. they started calling him "eric the actor" to be PC.

his show is so bad you cannot listen for more than 10 minutes. I cancelled a year ago. trump broke him. it's the first time where he wouldn't lay it all out there either because he is friends with trump and didn't want to start shite with him or because he didn't want to be seen as being a trump supporter.

either way, you can tell he holds back

yeah, artie was the last funny person on the show.

and now he interviews uninteresting people that previously would've been somebody they made fun of on the show

I remember when he apologized to lena dunham and the precious actor before that...he's a total sellout. in his defense everyone sells out and it took him a long long time it's just disappointing he sold out so hard.

Kimmel would be perfect for that chair the two days he sat in a few weeks ago were great. I'd even take George Takei in that chair.

Not filling that chair is one reason he falls on one of the worse bits ever "_____ is on the phone now" the lump, bobos toupe, etc.

Now when they run out of funny shite to say, that office idiot calls in as whatever they are talking about and it's so stale it's a wonder they keep doing it.

Richard is still hilarious. Wish they kept KC on, but I can understand firing him for their own safety. He was a total nutcase that makes Sal look normal.Once said he's thought about drowning his own family to protect them.
