That's correct as I understand it as well.
Quote:It's been a long time since I listened to Stern. I wonder what happened to a lot of those people. John the Stutterer, Crazy Cabbie, Angry Black, etc.
John the stutterer (not Stuttering John for those not aware) hasn't been part of the show for around 16 years. Crazy Cabbie completely burned the Stern bridge after he got out of prison by suing Stern over his "defaming" a diet plan company sponsoring Cabbie. Angry Black actually called in for the first time in years a few months ago and discussed Covid and vaccines, which is ~50% of what Stern talks about daily. I actually cancelled my Sirius subscription in June, first time without Stern since he came to LA in '91. Definitely the end of an era, but the show has really taken a nose dive in quality, it's just Howard kvetching about Covid, masks and vaccines, severely editing old material and pontificating on politics. He also does the show from home and is never going back into the studio IMO. Oh well, I got close to thirty years entertainment out of the show (it got me through some rough times on the job in the morning), nothing lasts forever.
