Ok enough is enough; Stern has completely lost his edge. On today’s show Stern’s lowly paid employees were reduced to licking balls. Sal and Richard may have a shred of talent when it comes to phony phone calls but they sure aren’t paid enough for their work. They are so poorly paid they accepted a total of $7,000 for the homosexual act.

There is nothing wrong with being gay but this is the Howard Stern Show! This kind of crap is not entertaining, it’s not clever and it’s not funny. What seems more disturbing is how bad the two “writers” needed the money. What happened to the old Howard? The radio jock that was once primed with pure angst has been reduced to a ringleader comparable to that of Jerry Springer. This is NOT great radio!

It is time for Howard to retire; he has nothing left to offer. Sure, he has helped mold an entire industry, TWICE, but Stern has been phoning it in and his show has been reduced to a series of puppet employees performing lewd, un-humorous acts. To be honest, I wouldn’t pay for this crap and I’m a fan. I will pay for Sirius though, it is worth way more than Stern. Hopefully, they will not waste another dime on renewing his contract. The chance of a merger has been reportedly rocky. I hope the merge happens but Stern’s task is complete.

Don’t become another Don Imus! Get out on top or as close as you can.

READ THIS RECAP OF TODAYS “Howard Stern Show,” taken from Howardstern.com

“While Jon Hein was in the studio talking about the “Wrap Up Show,” the question of whether or not Sal and Richard are gay for each other came up. Sal and Richard then came in to insist they weren’t gay, but Richard admitted he’d perform certain activities on Sal for money. This led Artie to write Richard a check for $5,000 if he agreed to “lick Sal’s nuts” for 10 seconds, while Howard and Jon both said they’d each give Sal $1,000 for the stunt. After some mild coaxing, Richard and Sal agreed to the bit, and Tim Sabean entered to report that everyone in the SIRIUS building was glued to their radios waiting to hear what would happen.

Although Sal threatened to back out at the last second, Howard convinced him to go through with the licking, and he did, as Fred gave the countdown. As Artie presented Richard with his check, and as Richard gagged, Sal admitted that “any dignity” he had left was “completely over.” Richard then said that, even though he got nothing sexual from the experience, he admitted it wasn’t “as terrible” as he imagined it would be.”
