howard stern's show has gone steadily downhill since he supposedly hit his listener quotas/incentives and started mailing it in. it really took a steep downturn once artie lange went off to attempt suicide, because when artie left he took last shreds of "real person" that the show had left.
howard is pushing 60 years old and filthy rich and after years of billing himself as "the underdog" and a "man of the people" he's gotten to the point where his new thing is trying to be friends with celebrities and movie stars and media figures, as in the end he wants respect from his peers. i'm pretty sure earlier this year he said "fuck the fans" in the context of some people salty at all of the vacation time and not working fridays and whatno (and mondays are next)
also hilarious is the fact that the guy used to rail about imus, but i'll be damned if he didn't go and get himself a younger (horsefaced) blonde famewhore who has already dropped a book using her new shiny "beth stern" name. it's kind of like the screeching weasel song "what we hate"
if you wake up on wednesday mornings and can't wait to hear some in-depth analysis of american idol, howard's your guy. if you want to hear queen ophelia the narcissist of cuntington prattle on about people's diets, faking running marathons, or her next charity endeavor the howard stern show has you faded. if you want to hear hourlong interviews with increasingly less-interesting "celebrities" where doctor howie starts psychoanalyzing his guests and, like a good therapist, basically gets everyone to talk about their daddy issues, the howard stern show has something for you. or lately (i confess to downloading the show sometimes to fall asleep listening to. it works well) he's had this thing where he goes on about "real men" and, example, he had jesse ventura on and was all "look at you. you're a real man.... a real man... i bet you have a big penis. how big's your penis?" --- yep. $100mil/year 3 days a week of THAT.
i was really hoping that the show would go away, as it's become downright pathetic compared to what it used to be, even as recently as 2006. howard loves his money though, and he's all but spelled out that he's eventually going to whittle down his work week to three days a week because there's nothing like hearing a guy who makes ~$100mil/year bitch about having to wake up early four days a week.... i mean, he only has a combined ~2-3 months of vacation a year plus all the three day weekends to spend in his hamptons estate! that is just cruel and unusual punishment.
"anything else, robin?"

The way things go
I don't think so
The changes that alter us
are a product of our own volition
and we become what we hate
It's not hard to figure out
that you're scared when
you act so much better
You're holding onto
something we can't have
but hands still circle
you're still getting old
and we become what we hate
Do you believe in the lies
that shape your world
Do you believe in your
own fictitious immortality
The world won't end while
you walk the earth
and when you realize that
your life don't matter
You'll turn to something to help
you forget that you're
only young once, old forever
