| Mutt |
What do you guys think, how should the next Super Fan Roundtable be setup? If you missed it, last week we did a roundtable discussion about the show on Howard100. John Hines is officially the host of the show, but no word has been made about who will be around the table next time. I'd like to see both Ralph & I as regulars with the remaining seats rotating with different people both obsessed fans & wackpackers. I'd like to be the voice of the fans and bring what I learn here with you to the table. Maybe even get some of the topics ahead of time and poll the members. Ralph brings behind the scenes show insight and a very vocal opinion which I feel will be a valuable contribution.
Obviously my opinion is biased, so how do the rest of ya feel? do you want new people every week? do you want tony or bobo to be regulars? do ya want either me or Ralph off? What can be done to make the show better?
I'm assuming there will be another show this Thursday and honestly I'd love to be up there again. |

| i liked the first one mutt. but i think right now u should experiment with many different people untill u get that perfect set up. any regulars should have to earn that spot if there should b regulars at all. also there should b more callers allowed in the second one. other than that I'd say u guys r doing some good work. |

First of all, I fuckin loved this show last week. . .Gravitas Mutt. . .
I think the guests should be rotating, give others a shot and bring back the people who do good, frequently. . .kind of like Tough Crowd was. . . |

Mutt, here's what I posted in another thread about the roundtable. I have the same opinion that they should keep Jon Hein, Ralph, and you and rotate the other spots. I know that they also invited Mark from Marksfriggin and he couldn't make it that night. I'd like to hear him on the roundtable sometime if he wanted to do it. Also, bring on some of the haters and have it out with them.

I also suggested that they bring on some Stern haters to expose them for what they are. Don't let them just come on and bash Howard, but let them speak and then let the fans respond and point out how the haters are so obsessed with Howard that they listen as much as the fans.
The best part of the Show has been the exhibition of mental illness, and the more of that the better. |

Mutt and Ralph should be regulars, rotating the other spots each week with different guests. suggestions for guests: Captain Janks, John The Stutterer, Mary Ann from Brooklyn, etc, this show is going to be a home run!  |

1. Make sure the moderator identifies each person before they speak. Each time or at least at regular intervals. Even people we've heard for years, like Ralph, sounds a bit different over Sirius (great clarity!).
2. There should be two regulars with opposing viewpoints, and two other people rotate in. That means a Howard basher should be a regular, in order to challenge the fans. A good program will engender a desire to hear more OR anger, but never apathy. And too much of "Oh I agree Howard is the man..." will become a bore fest. Not that this was boring, just a suggestion for the future.
3. The moderator has be strong enough to make sure that people do not speak over each other, no matter how passionate they are. This will be especially true if there is a basher on the show. It's ok to speak over the last sentence but not yell over each other constantly ala KOAB/Angry Black. Funny for a minute, unlistenable after that.
Thems my suggestions, take 'em for what they're worth. I'd like to hear Mutt on as a regular. He was not shy on the mic, knew how to project (important in radio) and offers great insight. I happen to be a Ralph fan but I don't think this is the vehicle for him. He's too close to Howard and can't be as open as he should.
Now a round table on hotness of chicks, maybe with in-studio evaluations...that's a Ralph project! |

2 ways...are we going political or wacky?
political we can go all over the relig-right
wack we go to puking on dudes for rocks-off i think really that the roundtable personalitys are less important than the questions that are asked...keep the NEWS new, and the fourm forceing the wackkers to address the issues of the day the way they see fit..fittt...FITTtt...FiiTtT and so on
hope this helps
jeezzzzussss....some one ask me a question....mackglophlin'ss killin me
p.s. member the time Howard made Bill Marr do his "roundtable" type show...with BEET and Crack Head...that was the funniest Bill Marr was so insulted....and mooreover insulting to the Wackkers...that was primum radio!!
Howard nailed Marr on his distaine of the "common man" ...(Wakkwr)...it was really cool how Howard stood up aginst the common view of Wackkers as being outcasts ..like who's perfect
krist, i live in maine...have no ride to NY and no idea how you all get figuring out who's on what time or when what poop goes into the radio..i like Howard plane and simple
i dont really think anyone but howard broadcasts
Howard has 3 sats
i want to hear the roundtable talk about what Howard said that day
i really think that it may be that none of you are real
you are all Howard ideas
dreams made to show all of Howards faceted talent
maby Howard just sits in his NY drab apartment dreaming all this up for me so i can get thru my day.but if it is a dream or a joke...the focus has to be Howard..guest, smest...i would not mind regulars. and i could deal with 1 or 2 seats that 'rotate'
my final point is "don't matter who's talkin, juz what the'y talkin 'bout"
LONG LIVE THE KING |

| I got a chance to listen to the Roundtable thanks to Piercer411. I gotsta get Sirius soon-this week. The forum was great with the calls and the panel, a little randomness and a little structure. Good idea about being a regular. You give a different perspective and come across well on the airwaves. You and Ralph and a variety of superfans, I like the idea about a hater from time to time, and definitely whackpackers. Ralph's got insight, yes-of the show, and you of the fans. That's a good combo effort. Sirius and Howard100 can kick some ass with your input from this site. They'd be lucky and smart to have you as a regular. Good call. |

geez! maybe i sank like a rock. well i for one think i should be given my own show, and failing that i should be the regular star which all the superfan planets revolve around in gradual rotation. now how to achieve that without getting too schticky?
i guess i could attack howard directly on numerous points, and anyone who defends him :) |

I like John Hines as the moderator but they need a rotation for 3 of the spots and keep only Mutt as the regular, as head of SFN he can speak for a majority of true fans and is essential in any roundtable discussion.
Drop Ralph, he is interesting but if this is a superfan roundtable it shouldn't have show insiders. Besides he is rarely if ever critical of Howard. I love Howard but when he isn't performing to the best of his abilities I recognize that and would want people who feel the same way on the roundtable.
All that said I am ecstatic we will get even more roundtables. So far this is the best programming on Howard 100 IMO. |

| Mutt, I like the round table and the wack packs would be great, but what about people from here? The W.P.s have Howard's show to strut their stuff, but what about us? As for me? Forget it. Get every day working stiffs to comment, I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who want to speak their mind and calling 877-33-Sirius is a luck of the draw. My opine |

I don't think Ralph should be on the round table because it is a "super fan" round table. Ralph can't be called a fan. If he wasn't friends with Howard I really doubt that he would listen to the show.
As for the other panel members they should rotate, because Bobo was pretty bad not offering anything to the show. |

Mutt, I like the idea of having Jon host, with you and Ralph as the core/returning members of the roundtable.
You, as has been said above, speak for us, the fans.
Ralph is as close to having Howard there as we'll ever come (until at least January 9, 2006, anyway). He's great to goof on and can be counted to offer the "Howard party line" which gives you guys something to react to -- including your efforts to try to get Ralph to state his own opinion. Also, there's the douche chills factor in keeping Ralph since he's relegated to "guesting" on a show he was supposed to have developed.
As for the other two panelists, I'd suggest a wackpacker/show insider (since they have special insight and inside info) and a super fan.
I like the idea of having people with varying view points and strong opinions, rather than a steadfast rim job -- but will Sirius (and Howard) really want to encourage honest critiques or is this supposed to be a cheering section to encourage everyone to get Sirius and how great the show is?
Oh, and my apologies to GayTony. I still don't know who the fuck he is, which is why I was put off by him. In all honesty, I didn't really pay attention to his opinions EXCEPT when they got into the gay realm -- but that was because I thought he might be someone else. ;) |

Shamela, how does Ralph fit into the description of "Super Fan Roundtable"?
He's not a fan he's Howard's friend there's a HUGE difference. |

| Mutt |
Tony, nobody has had anything bad to say about you. I haven't heard 1 negative thing. great job the other night
I'd like to see you with your own very gay show. |

Surviving Alison and way longer than Beth, Ralph has been Howard's #1 fan.
While it may be in a leechy way -- to get stuff from Howard and to get stuff from celebs like Stamos and Simon who want to have an "in" with Howard -- Ralph is right in there.
As I said before, Ralph adds an inside-insider perspective and is bound to bring things about Howard and insights to the fore that people who just work in or around the show can't know.
Also, with Ralph there being head cheerleader, there's more room for a diversity of opinion -- and Ralph is always funny to goof on, and there is so much to goof on with the berry-faced beast. |

No patronization intended, but the round table was good and had it's own vibe. Just keep pulling it off (no pun intended) and see what it turns into. As for any suggestions? Sure, the next round table should have food on it, but just as long as it doesn't make us "Ralph!"
Just joking... Ralph's cool.

As long as Ralph's poosition is consistently "I defer to Howard" he really offers nothing. I like Ralph but I don't think this is the right vehicle for him. Once a week chick evaluations. That's his forte.
I thought gay Tony was really good. But Mutt was the only one to offer a critical voice (in the truest sense of the word) so I would love to have Mutt be a regular. Then you need another regular to offer the "Howard sux" side and two rotating fans and you have a great show with a spirited dialog.
Just my two cents, worth 3/4 cents after taxes. |

It really isn't. He argues and disagrees with Howard all the time. He did say on the one issue that he thought however Howard chose to end the show would be right, but did he answer that for any other questions? I remember him complaining about having marginal guests on these final shows when he could be playing clips, and also asking how the hell Howard blew owning his tapes. |
|

| GayTony |
| while i dont think Ralph *only* deferred to Howard, he did do so at least 4-5 crucial times, by my count. i'm not sure what parts i'm remembering were being taped or not, but i was conscious of holding back mockery of him bcuz i didnt want to be too rude (he WAS sharing the jager after all). however, during one of his later "howard is howard and howard knows best" deferrals u can hear me making gulping-cock sounds bcuz he just KEPT doing that. it was a too easy escape hatch we didnt really call him on until after the show was over. |

What about having a permanent seat at the table reserved for a 'Phone Guest'?
Set it up ahead of time with a Superfan each week.
[And screen the random callers better!] :) |
|
|
| Mutt |
| I see alot of people saying that they don't want Ralph because he's not a fan. What if it wasn't called super fan round table? what if it was called "H100 Roundtable" or "Stern Show Roundtable"? IMHO, having Ralph sorta gives the panel some legitimacy. He's the only one of us that even knows Howard. Keep in mind, when the topic isn't about Howard, Ralph can be brutally critical. |
|

| specialyetti |
| Yes Ralph should be there to give his opinon but have no control over topics or production. As a regular and his contribution with his opinon ,worth listening . |

Changing the name might be a good idea because Ralph isn't a "super" fan or any kind of fan, he's a friend of Howards there is a difference.
The morning after the round table Ralph called in either 4 or 5 times and each time Howard referred to him as "the star of last nights super fan round table", that was fucked up. All of you guys except maybe Bobo did a great job with nobody dominating the discussion.
Either way I loved the show and would have no problems at all if 2 seats are every week participants, Mutt and someone to be determined. |

Mutt, you showed real guts in your comments, that's why I'd like you to be a regular. GayTony was insightful and very articulate. Even Bobo engendered some kind of emotion (although with me it was irritation). Ralph just didn't do anything for me. When he started to speak I assumed it would be a verbal tap-dance and he will NEVER criticize Howard. That's not compelling radio.
Like I said, I'm a Ralph fan. I like him calling in and being an "expert" on everything because he stirs it up. but he doesn't/won't when it comes to Howard himself. I just don't think this is his place.
I'll hammer the point - Ralph is at his best with chick evaluations. An ugly guy tearing down beautiful women. THAT'S great radio and would rather he do a weekly show of that than Super Fan Rountable. |

| Once the round-table format is "perfected" and John is comfortable with it, I'd really like to see it go on the road. There are Stern fans in more cities than just NYC. Be cool to hear representation and live interviews from more than just one place. |

There are Stern fans in all cities "but" THE SHOW, and Sirius are here in the capital of the world. |

| biancas tick, why did you reply to a 4 month old thread? why dioes your reply have nothing to do with the thread? |

| jhammell |
my opinion for what it's worth is similar to yours Mutt:
1) You permanent, speaking for the consencus of sfn'ers
2) Ralph permanent, a bit more inside to the show view
3) whackpacker, one every week rotating
4) super fan from sfn, one every week rotating
5) fan from other board, caller, etc. rotating
this lends to stability, but also a varying view from week to week |
|
|
| jhammell |
Mutt, please, please listen to the majority of the board (if it is within your control)
most of us seem to think that KOAB is ok, but not on SFRT
he just talks over everyone else |

my ideas for the roundtable
1) of course you Mutt.... a given... yes
2) regular stern member like ralph, or artie or a wack packer on a rotating available basis
3 & 4) i agree with you mutt 2 lasting SFN members that are there every week but instead of permanent, like on a rotating basis like every 3 or 4 months.... but not KOAB he talks over everyone else
5 & 6) 2 SFN's that are new or at H100 discretion essentially they are trying out for the more permanent rotating positions
of course at least 1 of these should be a hot chick.... |
