Stern is a piece of shit too.
Then he turned into an elderly Jewish woman.
Satellite radio is fixing to take off any second now! The boom is coming!
Recently got a new car that has a Sirius trial subscription. After everything I’ve heard about it, actually using it is shockingly disappointing. There is so little content on it, and what’s there isn’t any good. I guess maybe their target customer is someone who wants Fox News and right wing pod casts in their car. I won’t be signing up, especially with what a pain I’ve heard it is to cancel once they have your payment info.
Don’t forget about the shitty audio quality. No frequencies above 12kHz are audible. We had better fidelity in the 1970s.
And yes, leaving is a pain. If you manage to cancel, they will harass you for years. It took four years for them to finally stop flooding my mailbox with letters begging me to come back. For a car I didn’t even own anymore. Four years was literally two cars later.
Maybe it will make a comeback, but not if they keep calling it radio. It needs to be something like curated playlists or something, and the curators need to be creators or critics. People with knowledge of music, not people that know their way around a well timed fart slide whistle.
And no commercials. Like, at all. Fuck it, who am I kidding. That isn’t going to happen.
The way he talks about women on his show disgusts me. He aint no leftist.
What way does he talk about women on his show? That they’re hot sometimes?
I was talking about Howard Stern because this post has a picture of him. But I just realized that Joe Rogan is mentioned in the title and part of the image, so to clarify, I didn’t mean Joe.
But for Howard Stern, the things I remember are the John Cena interview where he couldn’t wrap his mind around someone dating an overweight person, and him asking some hot chick to turn around for the camera (she looked pretty weirded out and uncomfortable). I’m struggling to find those specific videos but here’s a compilation of him just being a piece of shit. (I watched the video and I really didn’t like any of these either).
Not to mention that a huge and popular segment on his show is to entirely reduce women down to sex figures (regardless of their position or fame) by making them sit on a sex toy for the interview.
Guy is just a pervert and is very open about it. Which, respect? I guess it’s better than the devil you don’t know. But yeah, he’s very gross towards women. Treats them like their only purpose in life is sexual pleasure.
I know very little about Stern, how was he the Joe Rogan of the left?
In a time where Christian conservatives pretended to have principles he challenged conservative norms about sex, identity, lbgt+ rights, etc.
Technically, sure, but Howard Stern was only subversive in the sense that you can Subvert Societal Norms by deliberately shitting yourself on the bus. It’s not a good idea to say he’s part of the left when the only defining through line on his ideology is that he bucks all forms of authority and rejects the concept of propriety regardless of its alignment. I like that he hates Donald Trump, I get that the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that, but in this case, the enemy of my enemy is a genuinely mean-spirited degenerate who never misses an opportunity to punch down at his subordinates nor at literally every woman he sees, speaks to, or knows about. Far from being on the left, I find it hard to say he’s really all that much more than just a lazier, radio-focused version of Morton Downey Jr.
He literally gave gay men and lesbians a platform to talk about being gay and lesbian without treating them like they were space aliens.
As a bisexual teen growing up with little access to any information on what it was like to grow up gay Stern’s show could be incredibly educational simply because he gave a mic to people who you normally would never hear from. I treasured him for this as did many if my peers.
This dude was awful to women throughout his career. He’s made disgusting remarks about and to women, often.
It was on Stern’s radio show that Trump confessed to walking in on women in the changing rooms at the Miss Universe pageant, per resurfaced clips published by CNN. He also joked, “As the owner of the pageant, it’s your obligation [to sleep with contestants].” Not to be outdone, Stern told Trump that his daughter was a “piece of a**,” and the two laughed over their agreement that 35 is, for women, “check-out time.”
Oh, wow, so progressive. 🙄
