Various Thoughts

I'm having some fun with my state's license plate request website.
WENNNBC
HITHEIN
RLIMO69 (RMLIMO is taken)
BIGTEEF
SSMUND
SIRISXM
SIRIXM
COKGONE
METURTL
SALDUMB
SALPOCH
RICHGRS (Richard is gross)
RICHDAD
BENSHEE
FTOM
TOMCHEP
WHOHPE (this is Kelly Clarkson)
FJACKE (but apparently FJACKIE is inappropriate/invalid)
...all available.

BOOEY is taken, as is 1906.
With that said, there *is* a process to actually get it made. Stuff can be denied by a human.


UKNOWAT is taken. I'm gonna avoid pissing this guy off.

It's interesting that Howard hasn't mentioned Peloton in years. Their stock tanked mainly because the stay-at-home orders ended and they had huge issues, but there used to be that reasoning/conspiracy that stuff would get popular because Howard would talk about it.

I would just do THEHEIN

If you crash into something you can get out and yell "HIT EM WITH THE HEIN!!"

I love how BOOEY and RMLIMO are taken. I wanna know who did so. I'm sure RMLIMO is a coincidence.

I believe COUGAR is taken and I think I know who has it. (It's not necessary a Howard fan who has something close to Jackie's middle name, but her ex...I think ex....did security for a Howard event once.)

I don't see TOPLESS in your list.

Who was better with his finger at the button?
North Korea's Kim Jong Wacky
OR
His cousin, Tom Jong Wacky from New York's 92.3 WXRK K-Rock?

I guess the contract between SiriusXM/Howard Stern and Warner Bros Discovery was just for one year.

The Bruce Springsteen interview is no longer on Max.

It's still on the SiriusXM app.

2020 - Howard got pushed into his basement and began negotiations for a new contract.

2021 - The start of five years.

2025 - The end of a five-year contract.

It's too early to tell, but I bet he'll be back in 2026. There's no way he ends this from his basement. Of course a lot can happen in two years.

Me? I'm just glad I got that two-year deal for SiriusXM for ~$125. I saved approximately $978 off regular price.

I say he's done after this.

With his dad and Ralph, I wouldn't blame him.

Back on the 8th?

Back on the 8th?

Back on the 2nd!

He should be off for MLK Day as a one-day vacation, then off the next week.

Off on 1/15, 1/22, 1/23, 1/24.

OFF ON ON
ON ON ON
OFF ON ON
OFF OFF OFF
ON ON ON

Thank you.

So this is strange. Howard was off today and there was no Wrap-Up Show or anything on 101. MfB reported live today, 1/2.

In past years, he would have been live the first work day after 1/1.

 

[geosync]

So he's off tomorrow I bet. 1 show in a week sounds just as sad as 2 in 7 days.

He's contracted to do so many per year. This may be "just a shift" or he's taking a very rare sick day.

Of Possible Interest: In 2020, he took an "emergency day off" the Wednesday before things got crazy. He ended up working a bonus day the following year. I've posted about it before, but I think they were actually "+1" before today.

The Bottom Line: This is still the same contract as from 2021-2023. Who knows.

It seemed like too soon to return. I'll do something else for my ears this week.

Here's a dude who has witnessed 14 solar eclipses.

I feel like Howard needs to tear into him.

Total Eclipse of the Park: The Guardians' home opener coincides with a rare solar eclipse

The Guardians have to decide how to handle the sun going dark on the day of their home opener, with huge crowds descending on Cleveland.

Howard returns live on Monday 2/5.

With that said, Sunday 2/4... Sunday Brunch is the Bruce Springsteen interview. I find this odd because it's supposed to be "rarely-played stuff." The Bruce Springsteen interview has been on the app, at least in video from, for over a year now.

Hopefully they're not getting lazy with it. It's nice that it's back on the channel. When the channels first started, there was some creativity when Howard was on vacation. Hopefully this interview replay isn't a sign of things going forward.

In one sense, it's true. They *haven't* played the Bruce Springsteen interview in its entirety. However, it's been on the app...but some people may prefer the satellite channel over an app.

IMO, the app has really made the constant replays, especially from Thursday-Sunday unnecessary.

They gotta bring back "Best of the Week." Better yet, take every segment from Monday-Wednesday and shuffle them from 7am Thursday until 7am Monday. Make it so you don't know what you'll hear next. Maybe Saturday afternoons could be all the segments when people got pranked and/or goofed on. Sunday afternoons could be the interviews from that week. Everything else could be randomized.

If people want the "straight show" in order, they're on the app.
