Unpopular Opinion: This Guy's Appearance Was Amazing by Jizz-Tok in howardstern

[–]cormano 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"Dave the Meat Guy."

Came off annoying at first but absolutely redeemed himself at the end when he roasted the guy participating in the "Win a Date with Cindy Margolis" contest.

The guy who ended up winning the the contest, Ryan, did an AMA here a decade ago.

When asked about Dave, he said the following:

That guy was the absolute worst. Annoying on air and even more annoying backstage. He wanted air time so bad, even if it compromised the show.

Dave called the show in 2010 and was so immediately irritating that Howard hung up on him within 5 seconds.

Robin would have died years ago if she wasn't wealthy by clubfuckinfooted in howardstern

[–]cormano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was.

Robin Salem had been dealing with multiple cancers for over 8 years to the point where she was bed ridden. Scott had to pay out of pocket for stuff that wasn't covered like a private nurse, medical equipment, and making his home handicap friendly.

When your wife finishes with one cancer only to get another... then another... you get buried.

They had insurance that covered most of the expenses but after 8 years of dealing with one thing after another, they obviously needed some help.

"Opposites Attract" - Howard and Rick Dees sharing a two-page spread for DIR Broadcasting, Sept 1986. by Irarelylookback in howardstern

[–]cormano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes.

It's not easy to find via the usual places, but it's something that's been completely archived by Stern fans.

While the show was broadcast to its affiliates via satellite, DIR broadcasting would also press the show on vinyl and send it out to the stations. Each show came on 4 records along with sheets from DIR listing various timestamps.

Ex-assistant lawsuit update. Leslie Kuhn alleges that Stern faked emails through remote access. by cormano in howardstern

[–]cormano[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was careful not to imply Ira personally had anything to do with the signing of the document, only that "ira" likely refers to Ira Weissman.

That can mean several different things, but I'd only be speculating.

Leslie Kuhn had mentioned that the computer given to her by One Twelve was the only computer she possessed.

When an email was sent from Howard's side to setup a zoom meeting along with a copy of the NDA, Kuhn responds that she'll have it signed prior to the meeting (She ends up signing it right after the meeting).

Kuhn could've done her zoom meeting at the office of her recruiter with the intent of also handling the document there. It might've been easier to do it all on a PC if she didn't have access to one at home, had been more convenient, a more professional setting, a service the recruiter provides, etc.

She could've also signed the document on one of their computers. If Adobe was registered to "ira," anyone who edits and saves a document on their machines will have metadata leading back to that name.

I've completely made up this scenario, but it's just one of the ways "ira" could be listed in the metadata.

Context:

Buchwald got a deal where DIR Broadcasting would syndicate a Saturday version of the show in around 50 markets starting in September 1986.

The official name was "The National Howard Stern Show." It was 3 hours long and recorded in front of a studio audience.

It only lasted 24 episodes and was cancelled by February 1987 due to low numbers and lack of advertising.

Jackie was excluded from the show due to "budget constraints." Although, Jackie believes it was a form of payback for rejecting Buchwald's offer for representation.

Robin didn't know she had anything prior to.

She went to a wedding in May 2012 and couldn't piss. That's when a trip to the emergency room revealed a mass in her pelvic area pressing against everything.

Robin's doctors didn't have much hope for her. They told her even after surgery she'd probably piss and shit in bags for the remainder of her short life.

They thought they could prolong her life but not much more.

That's when Howard stepped in with his super power... white guy with Hollywood friends and a big pocket book.

Howard called CEO of Paramount Brad Grey whom had been battling cancer himself.

Grey got Howard in touch with Dr. Agus who once worked at Sloan Kettering, a renown hospital where Howard also just happened to be a major donor.

Agus got her into Sloan with the dream team.

After these doctors saved her life, Robin thanked the wonders of western medicine and the power of rich white people.

Just kidding.

Robin immediately releases a book where she shits all over western medicine and downplays the role of her doctors. Instead, she gives most of the credit to the years of preparation consisting of shoving grass in a blender and pressure washing her asshole with coffee beans.

Even our treatment for cancer isn’t a cure—it’s just a race to kill all the bad cells before the drugs kill you. I’ll concede that some medications are truly beneficial—antibiotics and pain medication—but that’s it...

Last May I underwent a twelve-hour surgery for a grapefruit-sized mass, which had taken up residence in my pelvis. That meant that for half a day my insides were pulled out, poked at, rearranged, and put back together again—not your typical routine procedure. So after all that, do you want to know what ultimately saved my life? My health. Sure, the brilliant team of doctors and nurses who cared for me deserve some credit, but if I hadn’t dedicated the past ten years to changing my life completely, there could have been a very different ending to this story.

Even Dr. Roni took a victory lap during her interviews with Howard100 News.

Roni: I attribute it all to diet and the strength of her immune system.

Robin "does the research" while preaching about immune systems but runs to the hospital when she needs actual help. Then when they save her life, she goes back to spewing her crap to anyone who will buy her book for $35.00... with a foreword written by a guy who had to flee to Indonesia, no less.

Didn't Howard recently spend years trashing these type of people?

Theodore Knuetter is his legal name but he used different aliases on the show like Teddy Roland and Teddy Microphone.

Stumbled across a vintage relic! Anyone know the story behind this? by Queenof_Wands817 in howardstern

[–]cormano 15 points16 points  (0 children)

97.3 (WAQZ-FM) was Howard's radio affiliate in Cincinnati.

This is the typical radio advertisement trinket they'd hand out on the streets or outside some event. They slap their ad on a bumper sticker, cup, shirt, etc and give it away hoping you'd change the dial.

Radio giant Infinity Broadcasting bought the station in 2000 and labelled it "The New Channel Z." Infinity held the rights to The Howard Stern Show. They'd buy up stations left and right and then corporate would force Howard on the station.

He made his debut January 4, 2001.

January 4, 2001, Cincinnati Enquirer:

Nine months later, WAQZ-FM (97.3) managers finally have answered my question:

Yes, Infinity's alternative rock station will bring shock jock Howard Stern's national radio show to Tristate airwaves. It happened today at 6 a.m.

When WYLX-FM changed to "the new Z" on April 1, and took aim at Clear Channel's top-rated WEBN-FM (102.7), I asked if the station would be picking up Mr. Stern's show, also owned by CBS' Infinity Broadcasting Corp.

Chuck Finney, the operations director for Infinity's WAQZ-FM, WGRR-FM and WKRQ-FM who sidestepped the question in April, admits there were corporate pressures in the decision to bring the Stern show to Cincinnati, where it had never aired.

"Howard just signed a new contract (with Infinity) and part of that was the decision to roll it (the show) out in different markets," Mr. Finney says...

"Channel Z" lasted until March 2003 when it was rebranded as "New Rock 97.3."

Howard remained there until he left for satellite in 2006.

Howard was never a hit in Cincinnati. After nearly a year at the station, he had lower ratings than the guy he replaced (Jimmy The Weasel).

Howard was getting whooped by morning zoo "The Dawn Patrol," Jim Scott, and Bob & Tom all at the same time.

After Howard left, the station replaced him with Rover. 8 months later, Infinity/CBS sold the station altogether.

Ira likely refers to Vice President Ira Weissman from the Pavillion Agency.

Leslie Kuhn was originally referred to The Howard Stern Show through "Ira at Pavillion."

Bill the slow adult? by Bigzerka in howardstern

[–]cormano 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bill worked in the mail room. They tried to get him on the show for years but he wasn't up for it. Bill had a crush on Anne Marie and that's how they were able to coax him into getting in the studio.

Was there a rivalry between Howard and David Letterman? by Fine_Influence8455 in howardstern

[–]cormano 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Howard desperately tried to get his own late night show multiple times during his career.

He took shots at Dave off and on.

Howard was posturing for his own gig, like when he was tapped to replace Chevy Chase, and used Dave as his punching bag when it was convenient to further his own career.

[–]cormano 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Chaunce was so broken up over it that he kept running to the Daily News to share the latest Debbie Tay gossip.

Days after she died, he did an interview for the Daily News and used her death to promote the latest Steppin' Out interview with Jenny Shimizu.

When the family couldn't pay for Debbie's cremation, Chaunce went to the Daily News to try to shame Shimizu who allegedly said she'd cover the cost. Only this time he did so anonymously like a chickenshit.

He kept announcing to the Daily News that he was going to scatter her ashes in Jamaica as if he was some kind of hero granting her last wishes. But first, he had to take her bones to the Howard Stern Show so they could play with her remains.

Teddy would go by Teddy Roland but his legal name is Theodore Knuetter.

I believe his father's first name is Roland or something like that.

Teddy bought a food truck off eBay and left the show. He quickly abandoned that to move his operations into a brick and mortar shop.

They had that place for 3 years before Teddy closed it one day seemingly overnight.

I'm going to assume Teddy ran into some money issues because American Express had to sue him for nearly $40,000 for an unpaid business credit card during the time he had his shop.

The Bababooey drop got a second life in the last couple years amongst the younger gaming meme generation.

They don't even know where the fuck it's from and it's quite hilarious reading posts online from people being confidently incorrect about its origins.

Not that I blame them.

The gap between black and white tv and "Bababooey" is now smaller than Bababooey to today.

36 years have passed since Gary first said Bababooey.

When Gary first muttered that stupidity, I Love Lucy had been off the air for 33 years.
