Has Howard Stern become the very establishment he once railed against? Explore Stern's controversial journey from a rebellious radio icon to a mainstream media figure with divisive political opinions.

Delve into Stern's contentious interactions with podcasting and his disdain for rising stars like Jason Bateman. We challenge Stern's relevance in today's dynamic media landscape dominated by YouTube and independent podcasts, critiquing his attempts at redemption from a controversial past.

A product of the seventies andthe eighties, such as myself,
I've had the.
I had the pleasure of listeningto the King of all media,
howard Stern, back in his heyday, back in the U S open source
days, the butt Bongo foryesterday's, the him dressing in
(01:37):
black face with Sherman Hemsleywith him and doing the w yeah,
the WR show and not John.
I had to see caucus and let's,especially living in the
tri-state area.
At the time I was living inJersey.
You got to hear you.
I mean, howard Stern was a bigpart of your morning, he was a
big part of your drive time.
He was the bad boy of radio,dun dun dun.
(01:58):
Well, the problem with the badboys of radio, when they reach a
certain age I think Howard's497 years old or a 70 plus now
you become what you hate.
You become what you said thatyou would never be.
And if you go back into theearly eighties, you had the
rivalry going with Howard Sternand Don Imus when they were both
(02:21):
on WNBC and Howard was theyoung gun with Robin and Fred
and Jackie Martlin and everyoneand Jackie Martlin, everyone
coming up.
He was a young gun and, and youknow, don Imus was the
establishment he was.
He was the guy at WNBC thatbrought in the ratings he had.
He had the drive time show.
We brought in the money.
(02:41):
He, he, w, he was.
You know, everyone loved himexcept Howard Stern always made
fun of him as that old guy, theold crotchety guy.
You know the guy, the guy thatjust wasn't funny and as
Howard's legend grew in his, inhis wallet, in his own mind at
times.
You know he started surpassingDon Imus.
He started taking over.
(03:03):
He took over Philadelphia withthe you know, with the morning
zoo rivalry, knocking that outof the way with with John
DiBella.
He took out, he took John outof the way he.
He basically took over thetri-state area.
He was.
He was then syndicated.
His show became more, you know,more cutting edge and then
years, you know, years, later hewould go leave terrestrial
(03:23):
radio and go into satelliteradio, where we all thought that
Howard Stern was going to beeven more Howard Stern esque.
But something happens.
I always remember the line fromthe breakfast club when Ali
Sheedy's character says, youknow, talking about how they'll
never become their parents, andshe's like, no, you know, it's
inevitable, because when yougrow old, your heart dies.
(03:45):
Well, sometimes the talent dies, sometimes the talent goes away
, and sometimes, with peoplelike Howard Stern, they become
the thing that they said theyhate.
They become the things thatthey said they would never be.
Howard always wanted to bemainstream.
Just look at the fact, though,when he started doing the
America's got talent, starteddoing interviews, started kind
(04:11):
of distancing himself from thethings that he, that he was and
the things that made him famous.
And as his audience has grownolder and wiser, the kids aren't
really listening to flocking toHoward like they used to.
And while Howard was politicalat times, he never really delved
into the arena of politics.
He would have politicians on,he would have former presidents
(04:32):
on Hell, he would have peoplerunning for presidents on.
But just recently, howard Stern, on his own show, basically
came out and says that hedoesn't hate former president
Trump, but he hates the peoplewho support him discussing Trump
.
He says I hate Taylor Swift.
Posts on true social.
Over the weekend, stern told thelisteners the whole idea of you
(04:55):
like me, you are good, and ifyou don't, you are bad.
I've been the victim of thisHoward man.
I mean you, literally, youliterally.
Howard Stern has literallybecome the crotchety man.
I mean you, literally, youliterally.
Howard Stern has literallybecome the crotchety old man.
I don't agree with Trumppolitically.
I don't think he should beanywhere near the White House.
I don't hate the guy.
I hate the people that vote forhim.
I think they're stupid.
(05:16):
I do.
I'll be honest with you.
I have no respect for you, saidHoward Stern to half his
audience.
The shock jock said he doesn'tmind losing half his listeners
who disagree with his politicalviews, adding that he
anticipates hate mail from thosethat support Trump.
And he's also called out thecelebrities in the 2024 Emmys
for not taking a stance againstthe GOP nominees on Sunday.
(05:39):
You can't, you can't be a pussyyour whole fucking life, said
Howard Stern.
Well, the problem is, howard,you have become one.
You have become a shill for theDemocratic Party, and I love it
because you say these things.
And none of these policies ofBiden or Harris affects you,
because you just re-signed a$100 million contract with
(06:01):
Sirius XM Radio.
So inflation doesn't bother you.
The cost of eggs.
Don't bother you the cost ofgas?
Doesn't bother you the factthat if you sit there and are
taxed on unrealized gains, yeah,that's.
That's going to bother you.
Having a second death tax overthe death tax we already have
doesn't, probably.
It's not going to bother youNot being able to afford car
(06:24):
insurance because insurance hasgone up 45%.
It's not going to bother you.
The everyday life, the everydaything that Americans go through
, isn't going to bother thegreat Howard Stern, because he's
going to take a stand againstit.
Later in the show, a caller fromMichigan compared Trump's
rhetoric surrounding immigrantsto the height of Hitler's
(06:47):
Holocaust.
About Hitler, about the Jewsduring the Holocaust, he says I
couldn't agree with you more.
It's the same playing book.
We have seen it before inhistory.
Do you understand that inhistory, basically, hitler was a
socialist?
Do you understand that, howard,hitler was perceived as a clown
in Germany?
He was the biggest buffoon.
No, actually Hitler wasn't.
(07:09):
Hitler was part of a movement inGermany because of the fact
that there was a void inleadership.
I mean, howard, I think youneed to learn a fucking few
things before you run yourfucking mouth, cause we all know
you're a moron Now.
We all know you're a corporateshill.
Now we all know you're 70 plusyears old and now you're Don
(07:30):
Imus.
You have literally becomeeverything that you said you did
not want to be, and I kind ofthink that the old man stick is
dying.
So hopefully you saved yourmoney.
Hope you and your model wifesaved your money, because I
don't see you getting anothercontract.
I really don't.
He goes.
This does feel like a replay ofWorld War II.
(07:53):
I am one of those people whobelieves that if that election
goes wrong, it will end theUnited States.
Yes, because he only wants togive money back to people that
are actually working.
Trump, that is.
He wants to put money in yourpockets by not taxing your tips,
which means if you work moreand you work harder, you get to
(08:15):
keep more of your cash.
He doesn't want to tax overtime.
Why?
Because if you work harder andyou work more and you work
harder towards a goal, youshould keep the money you make,
which, in turns, allows you totake home more money and allows
you to pay for goods andservices for the economy.
It's not a handout.
We're not handing out $25,000of taxpayers money to buy a
(08:38):
house when we know all that'sgoing to do is tack on $25,000
to every home loan.
We saw that with Obama's.
I'm going to give everyone$8,500 to go buy a car.
Well, shockingly, all the carswent up $8,500.
Same thing with the electriccars.
We're going to give everyoneseven grand.
Shockingly, all car priceselectric cars went up seven
(09:00):
grand.
All car prices, electric carswent up seven grand.
We're not.
He's not giving a handout.
He's saying if you work Trumpis you work, you work hard, you
do this Then at the end of theday, you will then reap the
benefits of your hard work.
(09:20):
Kamala Harris's big plan iswe're going to make everyone a
citizen.
We're going to give everyonefree healthcare.
We're going to give everyonefree this we're going to give.
Everyone's going to get a house, but everyone's going to have
to get the same house becauseit's referred to as socialism.
She wasn't voted the mostliberal Senator for no reason.
You want to talk about someonethat's Hitler?
Ask it's that.
And speaking of Germany, germanyhad this great open border
(09:43):
policy recently, for the lastcouple of years, everyone can
come into Germany.
Well, it's interesting now thatGermany has now changed their
immigration policy.
They've expanded bordercontrols to help curb
immigration and I love itbecause now, now the other
(10:06):
European nations are like well,we're mad at Germany for doing
this.
They're cracking down onimmigration, replacing
restrictions on a wide area, afree movement I forget what the
zone is called where you can goback and forth, but it's angry
and the other European neighborswhy?
Because they're having so manyproblems with illegal
immigration.
I forget what the zone iscalled, where you can go back
and forth, but it's angry in theother European neighbors.
(10:27):
Why?
Because they're having so manyproblems with illegal
immigration.
They're having so many problemswith immigrants.
They're having so many problemsin Germany paying for the goods
and services and things thatthese immigrants need, that they
finally figured it out.
We need to strengthen our owninternal security.
That's what their minister,interior minister, says.
Strengthen internal securitythroughout, concrete action,
(10:47):
tough stance against irregularimmigration.
So all the other Europeancompanies are pissed because
they all know where they'regoing to go.
They're going to go differentplaces.
They just picked up andidentified a 26-year-old Syrian
man who was alleged linked toISIS.
That was back on August 23rd.
(11:09):
So Germany, which you arespouting is, is what Trump is
doing, is doing everything youdon't want Trump to do, which is
to crack down on the border,which is to stop people from
coming here illegally and stophaving the American taxpayers
flip the bill.
We have people that can'tafford their own groceries.
(11:30):
We got veterans on the street,but we're giving $11,000
vouchers for illegal immigrantsto buy or rent a house if they
leave.
In reference to public housingthat's being supplied by the
state or the government whatkind of crazy shit is that?
And they talk about therhetoric.
Everyone talks about therhetoric.
(11:50):
Even Peter Doocy went off toCrane Jean-Pierre yesterday
saying you know what Twice nowthis guy's been attempted
assassination because of therhetoric.
And you talk about taking,cooling down, taking down the
climate a little bit.
In reference to all thisrhetoric, and then you come out
and call them a threat two dayslater.
(12:13):
So I mean, you keep people.
This is what sickens me abouthalf the population, or good, or
I'm not going to say half thepopulation, because I don't
think it's half the population,but what sickens me?
You have a segment of thepopulation that doesn't want to
work, which is fine, but theyall want everything handed to
them.
They want everything free.
They think they want a nannystate.
They think they think my malaneeds to take care of them.
(12:35):
Somebody needs to take care ofme.
No, no one needs to take careof you.
You know what you need to takecare, that's what you need to do
, and I love.
Howard Stern had a comment lastyear To me, the opposite of
woke is being asleep, and ifwoke means I can't get behind
(12:57):
Trump which is what I think itmeans or what I support, people
who want to be transgender, oram I the vaccine dude, call me
fucking woke, if you want.
We all know Howard Stern's ahypochondriac.
So for him to force people toput needles in the arm that they
don't agree with and really hasno fact-based ability to well,
(13:21):
we don't know exactly how itworks.
We don't know what thesevaccines actually do, actually
do.
Howard, you're Don Imus.
You literally everything thatyou didn't want to be.
You are right now you are thecrotchety old man with a radio
show, and I love it.
(13:43):
Because I love it because hegot into it with Jason Bateman.
Jason Bateman, you know theactor.
A bunch of movies, a bunch ofTV shows, hogan family and
Bateman has launched a podcast,and I can't remember who.
He launched a podcast with WillArnett.
(14:03):
And Howard Stern is 70.
He's not 497.
He just looks like he's 497 now.
So evidently, howard Sterndidn't like the fact that these
podcasts are becoming successful.
So he basically, he basicallycame out and said everyone's got
a fucking microphone on theirhouse.
Everyone is on the radio, yeah.
So what's your point, howard?
(14:25):
Are you upset that there arepeople with more talent than you
doing?
I'm not saying Jason, jasonBaseman is more talented,
because I don't know cause.
I've never listened to JasonPayton's podcast but are you
upset that people can actuallynow have a voice?
Are you upset now that peopleare actually doing what you're
doing?
And it doesn't seem to be thathard I'm not looking in the
mirror, it's not that difficult,get off my lawn.
(14:50):
Not not as successful as theHoward Stern show, of course,
but we have success.
I do online big blue sportsentertainment Talk about the
Giants Very successful.
You don't need, you no longerneed this degree in radio.
You no longer need this degreefrom Boston College, howard.
And he says and as Jason goes,you know it's crazy Like we
(15:14):
started this thing out of ourbasement like a radio show and
I'm like, oh, here we go, cool.
He says, yeah, you started thisthing and it was like just the
three of us sitting around.
We talked to crack each otherup.
I don't know what's going tohappen with it, man, but to me,
telling you is the biggest thingever.
That's what, basically, howardStern and Jason said.
Jason said and Jason said thatwas bullshit.
(15:34):
I didn't say that, and so Sternwent on to say so I go.
Oh, this is great.
I spent my life begging peopleto be put on the radio.
You had to work on your voice,like this, and that you had to
work on your content.
You had to make sure you getpeople that get, make sure you
get people who's he's clowningaround.
Sorry, I couldn't.
(15:56):
I couldn't read the wholestatement because it's just the
whole statement didn't makesense.
So he, howard Stern's now thecrotchety old man.
Howard Stern is now upset thatpeople can do what he does.
Maybe you're not as talented asyou think.
Could that be a possibility?
I know that's shocking andmaybe that's not a possibility,
but yeah, there's a possibility,howard, that you're not as
(16:21):
talented as you think.
And, old man, let me tell yousomething.
The world has changed.
There's no longer justterrestrial radio in the car.
You should know this, becauseyou're on satellite radio.
People can listen to YouTube,people can listen to podcasts.
People can do all these things.
They don't need you anymore and, honestly, I think it's a good
(16:45):
thing.
I don't think it's a bad thingbecause I think your views are
so out of whack now and you areso out of touch with the, your
audience, you forget.
Some of us remember where youcame from Mr but Bongo Fiesta,
mr Dressing Up in Blackface,with Sherman Hemsley throwing
(17:07):
the n-word around, all the otherchannel nine skits, all the
things that you did to makeyourself famous, and now you
seem to be wanting to repent forthese things by becoming this,
this baby coming down, my DonImus and you are Don Imus.
If I held two pictures comparedto you either, you wouldn't
(17:29):
even know who's who.
It's time, howard, it's time togo away.
And, like we've said before,don't, don't go away, man, don't
go, don't go, just go away.
It's time, howard, it's time.
Sorry, I was drinking coffee atthe same time.
Oh, my God, people, we're goingto have to talk about the
(17:55):
election.
I'm going to have to talk aboutunrealized gains, taxes that
we're going to have coming up,no-transcript.
Oh, there's a lot of fun stuffcoming up, so make sure you tune
(18:17):
in and don't forget the truththat shall always set you free.
This is Tim that's going toplay along the mad ramblings of
a Gen Xer and I'm out of here,thank you.
What you just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling,incoherent response were you
even close to anything thatcould be considered a rational
thought.
Everyone in this room is nowdumber.
For having listened to it isnow dumber for having listened
(00:26):
to it.
You don't know what that oughtto is, mr Trash, I'd show you.
But I'm too old, I'm too tired,I'm too fucking blind.
If I were the man I was fiveyears ago.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'd take a flamethrower to this place.
Do you understand the wordsthat are coming out of my mouth?

He wants to put money in yourpockets by not taxing your tips,
which means if you work moreand you work harder, you get to
(08:15):
keep more of your cash.
He doesn't want to tax overtime.
Why?
Because if you work harder andyou work more and you work
harder towards a goal, youshould keep the money you make,
which, in turns, allows you totake home more money and allows
you to pay for goods andservices for the economy.
It's not a handout.
We're not handing out $25,000of taxpayers money to buy a
(08:38):
house when we know all that'sgoing to do is tack on $25,000
to every home loan.
We saw that with Obama's.
I'm going to give everyone$8,500 to go buy a car.
Well, shockingly, all the carswent up $8,500.
Same thing with the electriccars.
We're going to give everyoneseven grand.
Shockingly, all car priceselectric cars went up seven
(09:00):
grand.
All car prices, electric carswent up seven grand.
We're not.
He's not giving a handout.
He's saying if you work Trumpis you work, you work hard, you
do this Then at the end of theday, you will then reap the
benefits of your hard work.
(09:20):
Kamala Harris's big plan iswe're going to make everyone a
citizen.
We're going to give everyonefree healthcare.
We're going to give everyonefree this we're going to give.
Everyone's going to get a house, but everyone's going to have
to get the same house becauseit's referred to as socialism.
She wasn't voted the mostliberal Senator for no reason.
You want to talk about someonethat's Hitler?
Ask it's that.
And speaking of Germany, germanyhad this great open border
(09:43):
policy recently, for the lastcouple of years, everyone can
come into Germany.
Well, it's interesting now thatGermany has now changed their
immigration policy.
They've expanded bordercontrols to help curb
immigration and I love itbecause now, now the other
(10:06):
European nations are like well,we're mad at Germany for doing
this.
They're cracking down onimmigration, replacing
restrictions on a wide area, afree movement I forget what the
zone is called where you can goback and forth, but it's angry
and the other European neighborswhy?
Because they're having so manyproblems with illegal
immigration.
I forget what the zone iscalled, where you can go back
and forth, but it's angry in theother European neighbors.
(10:27):
Why?
Because they're having so manyproblems with illegal
immigration.
They're having so many problemswith immigrants.
They're having so many problemsin Germany paying for the goods
and services and things thatthese immigrants need, that they
finally figured it out.
We need to strengthen our owninternal security.
That's what their minister,interior minister, says.
Strengthen internal securitythroughout, concrete action,
(10:47):
tough stance against irregularimmigration.
So all the other Europeancompanies are pissed because
they all know where they'regoing to go.
They're going to go differentplaces.
They just picked up andidentified a 26-year-old Syrian
man who was alleged linked toISIS.
That was back on August 23rd.
(11:09):
So Germany, which you arespouting is, is what Trump is
doing, is doing everything youdon't want Trump to do, which is
to crack down on the border,which is to stop people from
coming here illegally and stophaving the American taxpayers
flip the bill.
We have people that can'tafford their own groceries.
(11:30):
We got veterans on the street,but we're giving $11,000
vouchers for illegal immigrantsto buy or rent a house if they
leave.
In reference to public housingthat's being supplied by the
state or the government whatkind of crazy shit is that?
And they talk about therhetoric.
Everyone talks about therhetoric.
(11:50):
Even Peter Doocy went off toCrane Jean-Pierre yesterday
saying you know what Twice nowthis guy's been attempted
assassination because of therhetoric.
And you talk about taking,cooling down, taking down the
climate a little bit.
In reference to all thisrhetoric, and then you come out
and call them a threat two dayslater.
(12:13):
So I mean, you keep people.
This is what sickens me abouthalf the population, or good, or
I'm not going to say half thepopulation, because I don't
think it's half the population,but what sickens me?
You have a segment of thepopulation that doesn't want to
work, which is fine, but theyall want everything handed to
them.
They want everything free.
They think they want a nannystate.
They think they think my malaneeds to take care of them.
(12:35):
Somebody needs to take care ofme.
No, no one needs to take careof you.
You know what you need to takecare, that's what you need to do
, and I love.
Howard Stern had a comment lastyear To me, the opposite of
woke is being asleep, and ifwoke means I can't get behind
(12:57):
Trump which is what I think itmeans or what I support, people
who want to be transgender, oram I the vaccine dude, call me
fucking woke, if you want.
We all know Howard Stern's ahypochondriac.
So for him to force people toput needles in the arm that they
don't agree with and really hasno fact-based ability to well,
(13:21):
we don't know exactly how itworks.
We don't know what thesevaccines actually do, actually
do.
Howard, you're Don Imus.
You literally everything thatyou didn't want to be.
You are right now you are thecrotchety old man with a radio
show, and I love it.
(13:43):
Because I love it because hegot into it with Jason Bateman.
Jason Bateman, you know theactor.
A bunch of movies, a bunch ofTV shows, hogan family and
Bateman has launched a podcast,and I can't remember who.
He launched a podcast with WillArnett.
(14:03):
And Howard Stern is 70.
He's not 497.
He just looks like he's 497 now.
So evidently, howard Sterndidn't like the fact that these
podcasts are becoming successful.
So he basically, he basicallycame out and said everyone's got
a fucking microphone on theirhouse.
Everyone is on the radio, yeah.
So what's your point, howard?
(14:25):
Are you upset that there arepeople with more talent than you
doing?
I'm not saying Jason, jasonBaseman is more talented,
because I don't know cause.
I've never listened to JasonPayton's podcast but are you
upset that people can actuallynow have a voice?
Are you upset now that peopleare actually doing what you're
doing?
And it doesn't seem to be thathard I'm not looking in the
mirror, it's not that difficult,get off my lawn.
(14:50):
Not not as successful as theHoward Stern show, of course,
but we have success.
I do online big blue sportsentertainment Talk about the
Giants Very successful.
You don't need, you no longerneed this degree in radio.
You no longer need this degreefrom Boston College, howard.
And he says and as Jason goes,you know it's crazy Like we
(15:14):
started this thing out of ourbasement like a radio show and
I'm like, oh, here we go, cool.
He says, yeah, you started thisthing and it was like just the
three of us sitting around.
We talked to crack each otherup.
I don't know what's going tohappen with it, man, but to me,
telling you is the biggest thingever.
That's what, basically, howardStern and Jason said.
Jason said and Jason said thatwas bullshit.
(15:34):
I didn't say that, and so Sternwent on to say so I go.
Oh, this is great.
I spent my life begging peopleto be put on the radio.
You had to work on your voice,like this, and that you had to
work on your content.
You had to make sure you getpeople that get, make sure you
get people who's he's clowningaround.
Sorry, I couldn't.
(15:56):
I couldn't read the wholestatement because it's just the
whole statement didn't makesense.
So he, howard Stern's now thecrotchety old man.
Howard Stern is now upset thatpeople can do what he does.
Maybe you're not as talented asyou think.
Could that be a possibility?
I know that's shocking andmaybe that's not a possibility,
but yeah, there's a possibility,howard, that you're not as
(16:21):
talented as you think.
And, old man, let me tell yousomething.
The world has changed.
There's no longer justterrestrial radio in the car.
You should know this, becauseyou're on satellite radio.
People can listen to YouTube,people can listen to podcasts.
People can do all these things.
They don't need you anymore and, honestly, I think it's a good
(16:45):
thing.
I don't think it's a bad thingbecause I think your views are
so out of whack now and you areso out of touch with the, your
audience, you forget.
Some of us remember where youcame from Mr but Bongo Fiesta,
mr Dressing Up in Blackface,with Sherman Hemsley throwing
(17:07):
the n-word around, all the otherchannel nine skits, all the
things that you did to makeyourself famous, and now you
seem to be wanting to repent forthese things by becoming this,
this baby coming down, my DonImus and you are Don Imus.
If I held two pictures comparedto you either, you wouldn't
(17:29):
even know who's who.
It's time, howard, it's time togo away.
And, like we've said before,don't, don't go away, man, don't
go, don't go, just go away.
It's time, howard, it's time.
Sorry, I was drinking coffee atthe same time.
Oh, my God, people, we're goingto have to talk about the
(17:55):
election.
I'm going to have to talk aboutunrealized gains, taxes that
we're going to have coming up,no-transcript.
Oh, there's a lot of fun stuffcoming up, so make sure you tune
(18:17):
in and don't forget the truththat shall always set you free.
This is Tim that's going toplay along the mad ramblings of
a Gen Xer and I'm out of here,thank you.
