How many old “rebels against the establishment” like Stern have morphed into establishment shills. Being a Boomer myself, I have watched nearly all of them flip flop. Where are the anti war, anti government, free speech, anti Big Pharma libs? Is it just me or are they all now official spokespeople for “The Man” to use their former terms?
Everyone forgot the first thing he did to really get famous, the first time he did something that made him part of the news. It was quite stupid and disgusting. It didn’t have anything to do with sex or bimbos.
The Air Florida plane that crashed into the Potomac River on a very cold winter day. A news helicopter was able to rescue a few passengers who were in the water. 1 man waved off the chopper so it could rescue others. He froze to death, I believe. While it was still happening and the local news was covering it, Stern called the company’s phone number at Dulles Airport and asked them, “How much for a flight from the airport to the Potomac River?” On air, of course. The employee who answered was clearly freaking out.
And there were his dipshit fans whom he encouraged to call other radio shows, engage the host for a few seconds, then scream into the phone “STERN RULES!” This happened to G. Gordon Liddy once. He just shrugged it off.
I was a loyal listener for years. Even went to the “funeral” he had for John DiBella in Philadelphia, front row. Once Jackie left, the show started skidding off the road. Artie was go at the beginning, but once the heroin addiction started, it really changed. He is completely unlistenable now.
Haha. The headline is satire, the rest of the article is pretty realistic. Although - Stern doesn't reveal his actual ratings (wonder why), so the headline could in fact be true!
I stopped listening in 2012 when I learned 9/11 was fake and then learned that Stern was instrumental in faking it to his radio audience like me.
I also learned about EGI a few years later and I'm now quite convinced he's married to one, part of the Gnostic religion of androgyny. I could go on...
howard stern became pig vomit. ironic. fartman indeed.

Stern is suffering from irrelevance and ego. He is as relevant to the 21st century as outhouses and vaudeville.
A much deserved decline, in my opinion. He always appeared to be unbalanced to me…Covid obviously tipped him right over the edge.
It could be worse for the guy. Someone could've made a «Who the fork is Stern?» podcast.

Well, Steve? Spill the beans! :)

Wow! Yeah, he did a lot of cringe stuff like that early on. Anything to get attention! Thanks for the reminder.

An old washed up has been hiding in his house from a fake virus.
This is exactly why Stern won the prestigious Harvey Dent Award!

Okay, I really REALLY do not know if this satire... but either way, it's good stuff! 🫡

The show became horrible after Artie left.
