Various Thoughts

The entire show for me today is a pass. Talking about Wendy shitting for 2 hours, and Howard's impression of having sex with his mother, along with Hugh Grant, just don't do it for me.

The show started with Howard making more ignorant comments about music; "nobody does rock anymore", and "nobody performs live anymore". Then he admits he knows nothing about music today (failing to consider that he's actually had many of today's musicians on his own show), and says he had to ask Ed Sheeran to recommend a musical act to him. Here's a wild concept - turn on SiriusXM, they have music channels like Alt Nation, Octane, Spectrum and Coffeehouse that play new music all the time. Do you think he's heard of SiriusXM?
What is funny about asking Wendy gross questions and Wendy answering "yes" to every one of them? Compare her to Beetlejuice who always has an original answer.

You'll have to ask JHDK - he thinks this is comedy gold.

haha. even if she did nothing but answer yes i still would laugh because of the questions she is asked. its also funny cause she does occasionally throw in an honest answer and that is enough to make 5 minutes of howard asking crazy questions and getting "yes" answers well worth it. like today after a sting of yeses howard asked if she ever said anything beside yes and she said "no". also when she was laughing howard asked if she peed and pooped and she said "just pee a little bit." i know its stupid humor but it just gets me every time.
 
OK, first of all, fuck you :D - I planned and planned to get tickets to that, then when the public sale started, I learned that "Ten Club" member tickets went on sale 3 days earlier.

Second, 2 of my nephews went, because we all live in the Boston area, so you must too. That's cool.

Ten Club tickets work like this... rumors start up and then the window for the lotto opens. Once it opens, you had to have your membership current the day before. They give about a week to make your picks for the shows. You can typically pick as many shows as you want, but if you get selected for all your picks, your card will be charged and the tickets will be there. No refunds, no exchanges, no exceptions. The window closes and then they draw who gets what shows.

Ten Club tickets are the best seats in the house and usually allocated by membership number...the lower numbers (longer-term members) get the best seats. In venues that do not have a GA pit (Fenway), rows 1,2,9,10 are saved for random allocation. In venues that do have a GA pit, there is no random allocation for rows up front.

After the lotto ends, that's where you came into the picture...a few days after the presale ends is the public onsale date. Tickets in the northeast are almost impossible to get...and there are TONS and TONS of fake tickets.

I won tickets via the Ten Club monthly email newsletter. The first email said "not 10 club tickets." The second email said 10C suite. We were suite B1/B2 between first base and the foul pole.

There were fans in that suite from all over the country.
 
Jack White, Julian Casablancas (the Strokes), and Pat Carney (Black Keys) do programming for SXM, so there are times when they are literally down the hall. It's just pathetic.

(Well maybe they contribute remotely, but you get my point?)

Considering that Howard only works three days a week and shuts the doors from his studio to his office so he can have a solitary path en route, it's on him when he has no idea who is at the building and who isn't.
 
with phelps back in the news this woman is sure to go ranting again.

Michael Phelps’ ex goes on rant, claims he sleeps around - NY Daily News

im pretty sure shes actually crazy. she seemed almost normal on THSS but everything else from her seems totally nuts. also shes intersex and was raised as a boy...which made me interested in seeing the porn she was in. now its not a pretty sight. there is a serious gel or fog effect on the camera and when they do zoom in on the vagina its not totally freakish but you can tell something is not as its supposed to be. i wont link it here but its pretty simple to just google her name and find it. do so at your own risk.
 
On Thursday and Friday, celebrity interviews should open the 7 o'clock hour. Why? Because I guarantee they did not originally air at 7.

I've heard Wendy's poo habits for three hours this week. One hour on Tuesday when I went out for lunch, and it was the phone interview. (Not at 7, but it's relevant in a couple of sentences.) One hour on Wednesday at 7, but this time in studio. One hour of the phone interview repeated this morning at 7, which I turned off.

Sure, catching it during my lunch on Tuesday was just bad luck. However since the subject was discussed ad nauseam yesterday at 7 live, maybe it wasn't needed today at 7 as a repeat.

Today's show should have opened with Seth Rogan followed by Wendy on the phone.

Serenity now.

Yeah, she's nuts; plus the article is poorly written. There's really no compelling reason to believe anything she's saying; I don't think that any of her claims can or will be backed by evidence. Plus, who cares? He's banged a lot of women? Good for him. And how is her life affected by this, other than her self-initiated thrust into the media spotlight? She's just trying to cash-in on his fame.

You need advice from Koop, on how to learn to love the hours of shitting humor. It works for him.
 
What they should do:

Show live.
Show west coast feed at 7am PT. I think it's still 6am PT.
Show delayed at noon.
"Best of the day" elements from 5-7 east and west for the drive home. I get in my car and it's the same stuff I heard at 7.
That leaves one hour between 7-8 for ????
8pm ET to 6am ET replays.

Thursday should be best of the week.
Friday, dig deep into the vault. Like really deep.

Of course, this requires work and a proper tapes team, something which hasn't existed in several years.

:(

Alternatively, Howard should man up and get some shows back together. Remember how we used to listen all day? Remember how they'd do "Stern Spotlight" of new tapes from 6am to 7pm and Mark quit typing around 1pm?
 
Probably money. When Howard lost the lawsuit, I think he didn't want to spend as much on content.

He did briefly mention he got rid of the spinoff shows because he didn't want to be a boss.

probably. or maybe it was the marci turk influence (which thankfully for at least the main show seems to be waning) in that she appeared to be in favor of getting rid of all the excess noise to focus all the attention on THSS.
 
They had a programming budget and a full programming staff for 101 in the beginning. Sirius had some expensive talent with Bubba and Ferrall and they were not able to attract enough advertising to pay for them is my guess as to why they were not renewed. They also had to pay CBS for the rights to play the old HSS content which is expensive.
 
What's the official explanation for disbanding Howard 100 News?
What I find rather cold is the way these loyal minions are let go without a word of appreciation from Howard or a word of any kind. However, if someone voluntarily leaves the show, there is a good chance Howard will take offence. His treatment of punching bag, tattletale, sometimes social friend Stuttering John is the extreme example.
