The struggle is real.

I posted this on Facebook:

"Look at their join date and posting history before buying.

If you have zero mutual friends with a seller, it could be a scam. If you several mutual friends, maybe you've even seen them, even if you don't recognize their name or FB profile pic."


I wanted to add something like:

Also, check for broken English. I realize it's not a be-all, end-all, but I've seen so many scams with broken English that it could be a small red flag.


I had no way to make that not sound like something Sal would say.

Gary and Jon are both out of today's Wrapthology.

Sitting in today as guest host is Jon Leiberman.

Now this is cool.

I was watching Private Parts on HBO Max. In the scene where Howard gets into the fight in Pig Vomit's office, he calls the studio and has Fred patch him through so he's on the air. He called the studio using the red phone which went directly from Pig Vomit's office to the engineer in the studio.

What I just noticed is that you can hear a very faint delay/loop. Pig Vomit (aka Virus in real life) would have had monitoring equipment in his office, as Tom and Andre did. They always say that when you call in to the radio station, turn your radio down. They're on delay and if the audio from the radio gets picked up by the phone, it makes a very annoying loop.

Anyhoo, this is something that could have been easily fixed by the sound editors of the movie, but it's also really cool they left it in.

Definitely as the show went on, Tom and Andre would have been closer to true live. IIRC, what we heard on our radios was closer to a minute after. (One press of a standard delay dumps seven seconds, but as we know, Howard had multiple buttons. He had one, Andre had one, Tom probably also had one and there was definitely one in each affiliate's studio.)

And yeah, I'm using Andre, but Dead Air Dave also applies.

Where's howard? Is this a regular two week break? Did his mother pass? What?

Where's howard? Is this a regular two week break? Did his mother pass? What?

Yeah...starting in 2021, the March break is two weeks.

Of course, we're right at the time in the calendar where we've passed the anniversary of the last time in the studio but not quite to the week of shows they did on Zoom while they waited for the at-home studios to be set up.

If there's a silver lining, Booey did one of the last Wrap-Up Shows from the SiriusXM studio. He said it was still a ghost town. Obviously, a lot of their music channels can be programmed from home.

So maybe...we get back to the studio soon, or at least some of them.

A little after 3pm today, Howard 101 had a segment where they're goofing on Gary's typing. Howard compared it to the monolith scene in 2001 and they're played the theme from 2001 WHILE they're played a sound of a monkey making "eek eek" noises.

It was beyond hysterical.

Relistened to the end of the Ed Sheeran interview (which is great BTW) and Ed mentioned going back in the studio and re-recording every song on his latest album unplugged-style. I wish he'd actually done that, because most of the songs he's come out with lately feel overproduced and lose their meaning with me. He performed 'Overpass Graffiti' live, just voice and guitar, and I liked it. But I don't like the album version.

In 2002, Shuli called in with a bracket of which staff member was the craziest. Howard cut it short and called KC the craziest.

I searched MarksFriggin and I couldn't find it, but Howard, Robin and Fred were goofing on KC for not staying at a party or club or something because he thought there was lethal gas in there.

The play Beetlejuice is coming as next year's Broadway season.

Some yahoo just replied to the comment section with images of Beetlejuice.

The Oscars are on. Tracee Ellis Ross has a titty dress on.

Lots of titty dresses. "Titties!".

Hmmm... Jimble Kimbel is in New York.

I wonder if Howard has any guests on Monday.

And now Jimmy says he'll be home on Saturday.

Jimmy Fallon with the "Jimble Kimbel" drop!


(AKA: The two Jimmys switched spots for 4/1. They did a combined bit on how a lot of people get them confused. As we know, a lot of people hit up Jimmy Kimmel with the Wendy drop.)


Here's another 4/1 thought:

If you were born the day Cross & Lopez had "Fun Without The Filth" you're now 18.

From the Grammys.

Two weeks in a row of titty dresses.

Anyone get punched? Stabbed? Hogtied and dipped in hot oil?

The Kardashians have a TV special tomorrow at 8pm ET on ABC. I wonder if Howard will have audio of it on Monday. You know there'll be lots of vocal fry and general airheadedness.

Looking ahead here's my guess: Next week will be live, then one week off...then we'll be live until the end of May (so kind of a month and a half) until we get two weeks off for Memorial Day. June will be all live...then the long haul and it's back live after Labor Day.

Well that's a very small sample size. Last summer I was in LA in the area of the sirius offices so I popped by. There's nobody getting into that building unless you're an employee or doing an interview with a show. Maybe he gets herranged outside the building.

They're off this week, but the Wrap-Up Show crew is doing a special at 1pm called "As The Stern Show Turns" where they take a situation and follow it through with clips, discussion and some inside stories.

Today was all about the George Washington bridge jumper and how he became part of the show for a while.

Tuesday is the Enrique Iglesias tape scandal where Howard gets tape of him singing off-key.

Enrique Iglesias tape scandal

I remember that. It was a wild one. "All I neeeeEEEEED...."
