Breaking News "Sirius-XM Merger"

It has just been announced that the U.S. Department of Justice has approved the purchase of XM Satellite Radio by Sirius Satellite Radio.
After almost 13 months, the Justice Department has finally admitted that combining the two satellite radio companies would not harm consumers.
The deal must still be approved by the Federal Communications Commission, which is expected to follow the Justice Department's lead.
Stay tuned to the Howard Stern Show tomorrow for an update by Howard Stern.
This should be a long topic of discussion amongst Howard, Artie Lange, Robin and Fred.

Stay on vacation Howard

That is the title of an article that briefly mentions Artie Lange.

In this article from phillyburbs.com, Howard Stern and the Howard Stern Show are bashed by blogger Eric Gargiulo. I would normally say that this guy is an asshole, but being a fellow blogger, I'm going to bite my tongue.

Eric G, who is the host of an AM Radio Show about Pro Wrestling, states that Howard Stern should do us all a favor and stay on vacation because the show is a snooze-fest lately. He also states that the show features a list of D-list celebrities, uninteresting discussions about the merger, whining rich hosts and a co-host that falls asleep due to boredom.

I agree with the guy in some area's and disagree with others. The show has changed! But I think it has changed for the better. Sure, Howard still plays the cheap Jew role, Robin is still a cackling, interrupting pain in the ass, and Artie is spiraling out of control, but that is what draws people to the show. The fact that we get to hear about these peoples lives everyday makes us feel like we are personal friends of the show members. They've become a part of our lives. We tune in everyday to hear about their lives just like we talk to our spouses, significant others, friends or co-workers everyday.

So yes, Howard has changed. He has 500 million reasons for the change. But change for the worse? No.
I dread the day when the show is no longer on the air. I've been listening religiously for years.
There will be millions of people all over the world that will feel an empty void without the Howard Stern Show.
Remember the Soprano's? I still get bummed out that Tony is no longer a part of my life.
I personally will be one of the people that will miss the show. And I believe Eric G. will feel the same way.
Whether you like the show or not, you always tune in and listen. It gives people like Eric and myself something to talk about (and blog about).

Bubba's Back

Bubba the Love Sponge was in the studio this morning and announced that he has (finally) signed a one-year contract and will remain an employee of Sirius Satellite Radio in 2008.

Congratulations to Bubba and the crew!

Artie should go out while he's on top

I was just listening to the almost unlistenable Super Fan Round Table with that asshole Mutt and the rest of the crew that yell over each other for an hour.
A caller called in and mentioned that Artie should go out while he's still on top.

I seem to agree with this caller!

It has become very obvious that Artie no longer wants to be on the show.
Between falling asleep during the show and calling in sick so often, it is so clear that his heart just isn't in it anymore. He's also made so many comments lately that are evident as well. Think back to the fight with Sal, he didn't care if he got fired. He kept on saying that the last time someone got into a fight, he was fired and was insisting that he should be fired. He also keeps saying that he burns all his bridges and ends all of his relationships in a negative way. He also keeps making references to his drug habits.

I could keep going on and on about this but Artie's gotta be the one that makes his decision. Like he says: Artie's gonna do what Artie's gotta do!

But like that caller said... Go out while you're on top. Set a date and have a big farewell party. At least you will always have an opportunity to go back. If you keep fucking up, you're not going to be welcome back.

Like MaryAnne from Brooklyn said: Don't blow it Artie, you'll regret it!

Beck'stacular Party with Artie Lange in Vegas

I wrote a post back on October 31st about the promotion Sirius was running with Beck's beer called Beck'stacular Party with Artie In Vegas. I just checked the Sirius website to see if they announced a winner and the page has been removed. According to the contest, the winner was going to announce Artie Lange at The Comedy Festival at Caesars Palace and get to hang out with him backstage.

What I would like to know is if there was an actual winner or if it was some bullshit promo.

If any of my readers went to the show in Vegas last night and saw someone announce Artie, please let me know.
Or if anyone knows of the actual winner, leave a comment and let me know.
