Since Bubba is going to be on a Howard station who is going to listen and support him? Howard wouldnt have hired him if he thought he sucked. I will be listening.

Yeah i will give it a listen. Most don't seem to think that neds calls are funny but i do, i assume he will play his old stuff. I need something to listen to in the afternoons so i am sure to tune in.

Nope. Nothing I've heard in his promo's and profiles on the news had appealed to me. I just don't get his vibe.

I'll give him a try. Never really heard his show before, so I can't really judge the guy yet. If he sucks I'll turn the station, no big deal.

Yeah i'll listen... Gotta do something to pass the time a work.

I think he'll be as funny as hell.

never heard him before...I will listen to support Howard

I'll give it a try, but doubt he can make me switch from Russ Martin in DFW for afternoon drive.

I am going to listen...Gotta be better than DLR.

I've heard him, and think he's awful. I'll give him a shot but I don't hold out much hope.

ill totally give it a try

Never heard him before so I'll give him a shot

Too much Howard content on the station for me to bother. :)

Yup, especially since my radio will now be set permanently to H100. No reason to ever change the station in my eyes. 24hrs of howard content, i cant wait!

I will listen just knowing he's a friend of Tony Stewart

I might give him a try during the commercial breaks on Breuer Unleased. But that's about it.

hell no

I'll give him a try, like I checked out "Rover" who took over for Howard in Detroit. (Rover Sucks!)

I'll listen at first, if I like I'll keep going.

I can listen to most talk show. Just have to keep the conversation flowing. But none make me laugh out loud, or sit in my car not getting out till a commercial like the KOAM.

Not sure what I'm going to do now that there are no/less commercials. I think I am going to be much less productive.

No matter what, Bubba the love sponge (gotta just change that name to Bubba) is going to be 1000% better than DLR or all the other dickweeds that are on FM

I'm kinda dissapointed he isnt on earlier, since he is on 101 which is pacific time he wont start here for me till 4pm and I dont really get a chance to listen much after 3:30 or some. But being able to here Howard is the most important part.

Bubba was great in the late nineties, early 2000's.....the only thing I ever hated is that he badmouthed Howie......he's a different kind of cat.....but he pulled some crazy ish back in the day....Howard is going to come out of this deal smelling like a fresh picked rose...(he prolly was anyway...lol!)

Rover is trying too hard....I listened to him a little today and they had this guy get a filling in his tooth drilled out....it was OK radio but it made my mouth hurt listening.....

If I wanted to go to a dentist I would make an appointment....but at least Rover has been very respectful of Howard and looks up to him.......alot of folks (DLR) feel they need to take shots at him or just act like he doesn't exist.....

Thank GOD Monday is so close.....I miss the guys!!

ill give him a shot, ive never heard him before but if clear channel kicked him out and howards putting him on he must be alright.

I'll probably sample Bubba the Love Sponge's first couple of shows, but I don't expect to respond well to it.

The only stuff that I've heard of Bubba is what they've been playing on the channels since September, but I'm pretty sure that Mr. Sponge's southern fried humor will not be to my taste. I think Howard branded Bubba correctly during the Larry King interview when he pronounced Bubba's aesthetic "redneck".

From all available evidence, that seems to be a pretty fair assessment and that kind of sensibility is not anything that I can really relate to (along with stuff like country music, NASCAR, hunting, George Bush, etc).

I'm sure there's an audience out there for Bubba, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not it.

Still, on the chance that I'm wrong, I will sample his show. I just hope he's not as irritating as Mojo Nixon...

There is no fucking way I will listen to him.. No Howard Rip Off's (Bubba Love Sponge). Original's are always better(Howard Stern). I also don't think he(Bubba, or Ned) should be getting covered on H100 News either. I just want to know about Howard Show.

I'll listen to his first show.

I seem to vaguely recall that Howard was talking negatively about Bubba around the time he got pulled from ClearChannel, but I could be wrong. Is that the case?

I've never heard of Bubba and I really don't know what to expect.

ill give him a shot, ive never heard him before but if clear channel kicked him out and howards putting him on he must be alright.

Yeah, I heard when Bubba was on in Hartford, CT. He ate a chick out on the air! I'll tune in cause Howard see's something in him.

I will definitely check him out to see if he's decent. Gotta give it a try if it's on Howard 100. The guy did get thrown off of radio, so he must be pretty out there.
Terrie

He is a little on the annoying side.. only thing so far I found funny was when he was in High Pitche's appartment and he was describing what it looked and smelt like...

He was good when he was on the show a while ago, ill check it out..

I am going to listen...Gotta be better than DLR.

He won't be on at the same time ass wipe!!

I will definitely check him out to see if he's decent. Gotta give it a try if it's on Howard 100. The guy did get thrown off of radio, so he must be pretty out there.
Terrie

So did the Grease Man

i'll give it a shot. but i gotta admit. i'm not too optimistic.

I have heard Bubba is really funny I cant wait to check him out. Are Howard and Bubba still they only two full time shows on the channels?

Since Bubba is going to be on a Howard station who is going to listen and support him? Howard wouldnt have hired him if he thought he sucked. I will be listening.


I agree totally. Gotta give the guy a chance at least...Everything I dont get to catch live each day I will be recording by Feb 13th (my birthday) when I get my S50 with Home Dock..


P.S - Does anyone know if it would be possible to transfer Howard's Shows from my S50 to my computer using the Monster High Performance USB cable??...Or anything else for that matter? Gotta find a way to save all his shows and everything else on the channel on the seperate hard drive I bought for it...Thanks for any help ;)

It worth giving him a try, but don't expect anything special.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's good to have common sense, but good sense is not common

I used to listen to Bubba like 4 years ago here in West Palm Bch Fl when howard wasn't around. He's no Howard but its definitely the same type of humor. I think its worth giving him a try.

-The Rick_

Not until Ned joins.

Yea can't get enough of Bubba and that Funny..MOJO Nixon................... :o :o :o :o :o zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I’ve never really heard Bubba before so I will listen to him. I’m actually looking forward to his show. It sucks he might be losing Ned but life goes on. As for Bubba being branded Redneck humor then so be it. I’m all up for it as long as the show is not all about wrestling.

I hope he is better than than the little of him I have heard. He speaks way to fast and interrupts people before they complete an answer to his questions. I also am trying to have faith in Howard's opinions. Maybe he saw something in Bubba that I haven't yet

He is great when Jackie left and the show was struggling a little i would switch to Bubba on Commercial and i thought he was So funny its too bad Spice is not with him

I'll give it a listen...but the guy hasn't said anything funny yet.

I'll give him a listen. Don't expect too much. As it stands, the ONLY reason I listened to FM radio anyways was Howard. Howard's gotta see something in him, right? With all the talent that is surely beaten at Howards door (I'm sure he's got a stack of demo tapes) Why Bubba? BTW, what ever happened to Ricki Rackman. I use to listen to that guy in Los Angeles and I remember Howard thinking he was good. As a matter of fact, I think Howard called him "The Prince Of All Media" Maybe I was high. :D

Gotta be better than DLR.


i haven't liked what i've heard of him so far but i figure i'll give him a chance and listen to see what he's all about but i don't think i'll be hearing much of him since i'm usually at work when he's scheduled to broadcast.

Bubba is great. I will be listening. Just don't slaughter another pig on air. That was pretty discusting. PITA will be knocking at your door next.

Of course. Why the hell not?

Howard approved....why not. I'll listen to Bubba.

I hadn't ever listened to Bubba until Howard announced he was joining Howard 101. I listened to Bubba's website stream of his past shows. There were funny bits. I'll definitely try his show.

Why not, got to listen to something at work when Howard's show ends.

I won't, because I'm going to have to record Howard and I don't want to spend the time recording Bubba.

I'm gonna give him a shot. I don't think his humor is gonna be my taste. He's been on Maxim Radio several times in the last several months and was ok on there.

might give it a try but it'll have to be damn good to keep me away from breuer's show on raw dog :bwtd:

no, and from what i can tell Ned is the worst part about his show.

what esle ya gonna listen too? If you even stopped on DLR for a second I think you owe it to him to at least listen a little bit. And Howard wouldn't put just anyone on there so he must have something.

I've listened to Bubba when he was in FL. He was decent, for a wannabe.
Sure, he copied Howard and trashed him a little on the air, but everybody copies Howard. So, I'll either listen to Howard's replays or Bubba.

I'm gonna give him a shot. I don't think his humor is gonna be my taste. He's been on Maxim Radio several times in the last several months and was ok on there. I didnt think he was that good when on Maxim thats all
he talked about how he was friends with Hulk Hogan only funny thing was when Tom Arnold was there and wanted to kick Bubbas ass because years ago they wrestled each other and Bubba did something wrong Bubba was shaking in his Fucking boots it was funny

i will likely check it out once or twice.

but i didn't drop cash to hear a frickin' lovesponge.

i'm glued to sirius for Stern.

Fuck Bubba.!!! he slept during howards last show. fuck him!

Ned is not Funny. those stupid songs and prank calls he does are really wack!!!!!


Replace it with Arties Gambling Show!!

Bubba is about as bad as they come. I tried listening to him in his very short stint in CT and he was terrible. Bubba's mic is ridiculously over-modulated, which makes it tough to listen to him from the start. He always talks about and calls Hulk Hogan because it's the one pseudo-celeb he knows, so he kisses his ass. Bubba is one of the truly bad Stern impersonators who trashed Howard more than just 'a little' in the past. I was shocked and floored when he was hired. I know some of it was b/c of decency issues, but I'd guess no one would pick him up because he's got no talent.

Howard on Larry King Live said Bubba appeals to rednecks. I agree.

I don't get the whole Bubba thing. The last thing Howard 100 needs is a bunch of Southern rednecks and their closet hypocritic right-wing mindsets. They're the type of people who go to stripclubs on Saturday night, go to church on Sunday, vote conservative Republican on Monday (because of morality [vomits]), screw their girlfriends on Tuesday, take their kids from their second and third marriages to football or cheerleader practice on Wednesday, and then go to the Klan rally on Thursday night.

No thanks. This Yankee is Howard 100 24/7, or if there are other shows I can relate to on Howard 101. Otherwise no Bubba the Hick for me.

I don't get the whole Bubba thing.

I'm perfectly capable of being wrong about the timing, but I seem to recall that the signing of Bubba came fairly quickly on the heels of Howard's big Sirius announcement back in October of 2004.

At that time, Howard indicated that the hiring of Bubba (and the projected eventual signing of other radio personalities who had been persecuted by the FCC) was as symbolic as it was strategic.

However...that was prior to the third channel going away, prior to the creation of Howard 100 News, prior to Howard filling his now-famous black book with a ton of new concepts and show ideas.

A lot has happened with Howard, his support infrastructure and his channels since the end of 2004. It now appears that Howard and his team could easily fill up Howard 100/101 with nothing but Howard-centric, Howard-produced programming, all reflecting Howard's sensibility.

I wonder...if Howard knew then what he knows now, would Bubba still have himself a place in the universe that is Howard Stern?

im going to listen for sure. Sounds like he will have a good show. Unless he starts talking about nascar then im out.

i will give him 1 week because howard hired him

I'm going to listen and see how bad/good it is.
My guess is that it will suck. All clones of Howard suck.
But Howard has to fill 2 channels with something.
Good luck Bubba the Butt Head.

I live in the Tampa area, so I've been able to listen to Bubba through out his carear. And I question the judgement of Stern in hiring him.

Bubba has the ability to create funny radio, but he has absolutely no timing. So what was a really funny bit for 4 minutes will drag on, and on, and on, for about 45 minutes, on the same joke.

He's vulgar purely for the sake of being vulgar. It's not natural.

And he's not humble. He's self-promoting and self-important on the air.

Granted, he's not exactly a Stern clone like O&A (who even deliver jokes like Howard in the early 90s) or Ron and Fez started out (like Bubba, also from Tampa), I've never been able to listen to Bubba for very long or very frequently.

From what I've heard of him on Raw Dog and Maxim, he is very vulgar for no reason, and he is really a disrespectful person. He was talking really nasty to Jessica Shimel for no real need. But I want to give him a try.
I dont think he is going to last though, he is going to do something really stupid thats going to get his ass fired. Cause he doesnt know how to draw a line.

need some afternoon drive time listening?
try "Breuer Unleashed"!

need some afternoon drive time listening?
try "Breuer Unleashed"!

I can't keep up with the Breuer show. There's all kinds of laughter and I seem to never be in on the joke , kind of like the new DLR show. However , I have never heard Bubba and for some reason I can 't wait to hear something different ...

After hearing Bubba on the show , I thought he sounded funny and I would give him a listen ...

Have u listened to David Lee Roth ? .. wow .. so bad ..

If the prank calls and song parodies they've been playing are from Ned, it's probably best that he didn't come to Sirius. They're shit.

I'll probably listen to check it out but I have to admit, I'm really not expecting that much. Especially after Howard with no censorship, everything else will just seem not funny. It's like if some new local band has to play after Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

i do not find bubba appealing unless you grew up in the deep south. it seems like he was hired before howard really had fully developed his vision for what he was going to do with the channels.

I might give him a try during the commercial breaks on Breuer Unleased. But that's about it.

same here....Breuer's show is great......

I can't keep up with the Breuer show. There's all kinds of laughter and I seem to never be in on the joke , kind of like the new DLR show. However , I have never heard Bubba and for some reason I can 't wait to hear something different ...
And he stays with the joke too long, He drags it out so he can fill his two hours.

He was once on here in Cincinnati. Was not a bad show. My girlfriend (now wife) was the one that turned me on to him. Looking forward to having something to listen to in the afternoon.

Howard doesnt hire dumb-asses, besides Jackie and Stuttering John and probably a few others, but I would imagine he's at the top of his game or he wouldnt be there.

I'm not into him so far but I'll give it a chance. The "Ned" stuff is all fake. The calls are scripted. You don't really believe the people he calls would keep picking up over and over do you? "Ned" is obviously a voice character of Bubba's or someone on his show.

if its good yes, if it sucks no

I will give it a try, he has to be better than the trian wreck of DLR.

The "Ned" stuff is all fake..."Ned" is obviously a voice character of Bubba's or someone on his show.


I'm no Bubba The Love Sponge expert, but from the clips I've heard on Howard 100, it did occur to me that Ned sounded an awful lot like Bubba.

I dislike every Bubba-related story/bit I've heard on Howard 100. I have zero interest in listening.

I will listen to him and all of the other shows Howard is working on. If they are good I will continue to listen. Television sucks now, The only thing I really watch is sports. If all of the shows are good I will listen to them all.

I just listened to ned's phone call to the mexican embassy and I am 100% certain that it is a staged phone call.....The so called mexican he was talking to spoke with puerto rican affect in his voice when he spoke spanish he also was using spanish slang that only puerto ricans use.
So no this mexican will not listen to BTLS

I'll listen, but if it's all redneck all the time, I'm gone.

The thing I can't stand about Bubba is the way he describes his show in interviews. It's always like this: "We have a lot of girls, lots of parody elements, some opinions on politics...I represent the working man blah, blah, blah" That's a verbose way of saying "I do the exact same thing as Howard" I'll check the show out on Mon but I'm not expecting to be impressed.

Since Bubba is going to be on a Howard station who is going to listen and support him? Howard wouldnt have hired him if he thought he sucked. I will be listening.

Bubba has been known to be really crazy when he was on the radio down here in Florida. I never listened to his show because he was in direct competition with Howard. But now that he is part of the Stern Freak Show... then I will give him a chance and listen to him for a little.

I'll check it out. I really hope they replay howard right after Bubba.

I will listen to him and all of the other shows Howard is working on. If they are good I will continue to listen. Television sucks now, The only thing I really watch is sports. If all of the shows are good I will listen to them all.

I feel the same way. There is nothing on TV to watch anymore, besides sports. Once football is over, I gotta wait for the Sox to start playing........Hopefully the Howard channels will have enough shows on the weeknights to kill that time.....

Is Bubba going to be on four or five days a week?

I dont really like Bubba but I will give it a try.

When I heard him chat with Howard, he sounded funny. will give it a try.

He was on local radio here on the west coast of Florida. Raunchier than Howard, but lacking in humor. I predict Stern fans will give him a thumbs down.

Howard on Larry King Live said Bubba appeals to rednecks. I agree.

I don't get the whole Bubba thing. The last thing Howard 100 needs is a bunch of Southern rednecks and their closet hypocritic right-wing mindsets. They're the type of people who go to stripclubs on Saturday night, go to church on Sunday, vote conservative Republican on Monday (because of morality [vomits]), screw their girlfriends on Tuesday, take their kids from their second and third marriages to football or cheerleader practice on Wednesday, and then go to the Klan rally on Thursday night.

No thanks. This Yankee is Howard 100 24/7, or if there are other shows I can relate to on Howard 101. Otherwise no Bubba the Hick for me.

no man, while he does appeal to red necks, they are in no way conservative in the bad ways. Yeah, they support capital punishment, kick an arab's ass for 9-11, and all that shit...but they don't like the FCC nor do they like the administration spying on us. Bubba is fine. He has locker room humor which is exactly why I like Howard.

Bubba's show helps put convicts behind bars. He has a sort of "America's Most Wanted" but for Tampa's woman beaters and child molestors.....and gets a few now and then.

He has almost won Pinellas County Sheriff's job because he had great views. The reason he didn't win was because of the CRAZY views he had on strippers. His "Tits for Toys" has raised a shiot load of toys for kids the past 10 years.

he's a good guy with a cruel show....that's it. His fans are southern Stern fans.

Really the only reason I like Stern more is because he gets better guests.

yeah i will listen to him............if howard hired him I will listen........i am a howard robot

i already hate his guts from that stupid eminem parody. so i doubt i will listen. i should give him a chance but everything i have heard from his so far was annoying

no Ned, no deal

I'll give it a shot.


The Ned phone calls I've heard on Howard 100 are funny as shit.


He's not the King of all Media, but he is the King of the Mobile home park.

Howard has it right, the enemy of my enemy will be my freind.

Fuck the FCC

I don't think Howard would hire him if he sucked. So I will give him a shot.
It's too bad Opie and Anthony are at XM, I would love to hear them on Howard 100 or 101. I think they are funny as hell!
Norton rules!

I'll probably listen to him once... If he's smart he'll stir some shit up with the Stern staff to get some cross over listeners...

But really, I can't wait for Cabbie to get outta jail... I'm sure Howard will give him a job there... I can't wait to here some of those stories!

I've already set the timer to record his show, but I don't know how long that'll last... we'll see

I just can't deal with the name "Bubba the Love Sponge." It's just so schlocky and and dumb and for me represents all of the lame immatators.

i think i'll listen.. i really know nothing about the guy- only what i heard on h100, so i'm intersted to see what his show will be like. i hope it's good, because i want a mid-day show to listen to on h100. i haven't found anything mid-day i like on sirius except for music and stuff like that. maybe i just haven't looked hard enough...

Currently I listen to Jim Breuer in the afternoons but will give Bubba a shot.

I will listen to support Howard

no Ned, no deal
Dude there is no Ned. It's a bit.

Those promos for Bubba's show with the Eminem song aren't winning me over. I thought they'd put a little bit more into the promo bits to win over Howard's fans, but I guess they just figure Bubba's audience will come, and all of us will probably give it a shot because of Howard.
