I have a completely different point of view.
Howard is the only listenable talk radio (comedy).
I've tried the others, they ALL SUCK DONKEY DICKS.
There is no one out there who is not pathetically boring.
The Stern show is still my daily salvation as it is the only comedy I
listen to or watch daily.
Yeah, Howchie has changed. Yeah sometimes I don't like him - like when
he gets all uppity about the Jews / Israel - but he's still funny and
I look forward to new shows each week.
