Does anyone else feel that Bubba is now the best show on Sirius - even after he was told by Sirius to tone it down! (in my opinion it was because he was starting to become more creative, ballsy and popular than Howard) If you listen to Howard anymore it seems its just blah blah blah over and over their is nothing new being brought to the show, its just I'm voting for Hillary and Obama sucks, the merger, Howard TV..........Zzzzzzzz...Sorry I started dozing off just writing about the boring stuff his show has been about since basically coming to Sirius. The first month or so of the Sirius days were exciting and fun until it became the Sybian show...talk about beating something into the ground, to this day I can't stand vibrating noises! I despise Ralph but sometimes he brings more to the show in one of his phone calls than the rest of the show. And where the hell are the Guests?....Was their a nuclear catastrophy in Hollywood and only B stars and people with 15 minutes of fame are the only ones left...I must've missed that on the news (Today it was Gallagher!!..I swear I thought he was dead)

With Bubba you can tell they actually write "bits" if you will for the show. Ned is a master of writing and singing in Parody songs as well as some of the funniest prank calls you will ever here in your life. They had a wheel of torture, shocking the balls and puss among other things. Sure every once in a while they get a little wrapped up in Nascar and UFC talk but at least it is something that I don't know much about and even if only for a little while it is entertaining. Bubba won't get into it too much but has said he was instructed by the "Powers that be at Sirius" (and last I checked Howard was supposed to be pretty powerful at Sirius) told Bubba to tone it down and back off a bit, which is rather interesting considering this is Sattelite radio and a paid service with no FCC regulations, so who would want a fast rising and entertaining show to tone it down? Only one name pops into my head(Hint: Its a narcissistic, controlling, well rested, lazy and now very rich man) . And if you aren't a Bubba fan yet here is another nugget for you, I believe Bubba only gets 2-3 weeks vacation for the entire year!

Until the Howard Stern show gets back to some hint of creativity and regains that desire I will continue to believe that Bubba's show will continue to dominate Howards snoozefest. Thats my opinion anyway.

To be honest, I'm no longer a Sirius subscriber. I can't really comment on Bubba's show, but he is interesting on HSS.

Perhaps I'll stop downloading Howard's show when/if he returns to the creative/comedic force he was on terrestrial radio. Until then, call me a thief if you like...as it stands, I don't even make it through his entire show after I download, usually last about an hour and a half and turn it off.

This is what happens when people are overpaid and under-worked. If it wasn't for Artie, the show would be dead. And even Artie isn't as entertaining as he used to be.

The show is definitely sucking more and more due to laziness and lack of motivation and ambition. I wish they would somehow feel the impact and start putting some effort into the show. Unless the majority of the people cancel, I don't think it really affects them, though.

Artie is great when he participates, but he doesn't engage half the time, and he misses work too much.

Bubbas show is and has been the best show on sirius for quite a while now. The sad part of that statement is the show could be much better if the sirius suits would calm down a little and let Bubba and crew do their thing the way the were in 06. I understand some rules and guidelines but the constraints that have placed on them on Sirius are worse than the ones on terestrial radio. On terestrial their words are censored on Sirius their content is censored, which is worse. You hear the stunt on terestrial without the explatives, on Sirius you dont even hear the stunt. Which audience is getting the better content. It is really disturbing to me a company like Sirius would not offer Bubba and crew enough money to keep them exclusive to Sirius. In roughly 5 weeks Bubba and crew have become number 1 in Tampa and will be syndicated to more markets soon so Sirius better get ready to say bye bye to its best show at the end of the year. With that say bye bye to alot your subscibers because lets face it Jamie Fox and Martha dont move the needle like The Bubba The Love Sponge Show.

I also think it's ridiculous that Sirius can't pay Bubba enough to keep him exclusive. I know that he has a lot of listeners, who now have no reason to keep Sirius (not all Bubba fans like Howard.)

I know that everyone has to negotiate their own deals, and Howard was able to get a lot of money out of them, but it makes me wonder when Sirius never has money for anything else. They are blowing it all on Stern's salary.
