Howard doesn't even know what a fucking debit card is.
* **[\[AUDIO\] June 16, 2010: What's a debit card, Robin?](https://vocaroo.com/15aecKTCuESz)**
When he tries to speak like an average joe, all his references are from the 70's. He's talking about stores and restaurants that haven't been around for decades.
I've listened to these two struggle with knowing what Chick-fil-A is.
* **[\[AUDIO\] March 10, 2010 - Chick Filla' ](https://vocaroo.com/13IyoDoghAp6)**
He's had house slaves and private chefs for so long that he doesn't know how to use a microwave.
* **[\[AUDIO\] March 29, 2010: Howard nukes portion of lasagna for 11 minutes.](https://vocaroo.com/13D0IemG9rAI)**
You ever hear him discuss interest rates?
* **[\[AUDIO\] April 2, 2009: Howard struggle with interest rates.](https://vocaroo.com/1fnXBwrhcJzI)**
He once asked Robin what DHL is because he doesn't open his own mail.
Howard thinks his modest 4000 square foot NYC apartment is smaller than the average home. If you think that sounds stupid, consider his apartment is actually 7000 square feet.
* **[\[AUDIO\] October 16, 2008: Howard's modest apartment.](https://vocaroo.com/1ozFYJDbdgc2)**
Howard has been a wack job for decades. He thinks it's normal to call up Palm and have them show off a prototype in your apartment because you're phone shopping. When he had questions about *Getting Things Done*, he just summoned the author. When he got an iPad as a gift from Aston Kutcher, he personally emailed the founder of the International Chess Club and told them to build him an app. When he wants to know the weather, [he calls the actual weather man.](https://vocaroo.com/1aztsHQzHo6l)
Howard even has his own personal IT guy.
He is so far removed from the real world that the fact he doesn't know what a shawarma is barely registers on the scale.
That entire ābroā argument cringe was Howard harkening back to the 70s with the bro shit. Artie was totally right about the modern usage of bro. Howard was not Artieās bro in that instance IMO.
Not his fault. I worked for that company. They suck at programming.
The programmers all have side hustles and donāt give a shit about the companyās clients because they pay them shit.
I'm not saying it's his fault. I just find it funny. It seems like he's been having issues with his systems for decades now. At some point why not try and simplify it?
Too loyal? More likely, the company is the cheapest one out there and/or gives him some kind of "deal". Because we all know how tight-fisted Howard is with money.
Itās Crestron, I never went to his place as I was a Field Engineer on the New Project side of the business at the time. Only heard stories from the Engineers on the Service side, and they were mostly complaints about our programmers.
I got the hell out of that company and the residential side of Integration altogether. Iām now a Service Engineer for a top commercial integrator and work in the Legal, Educational, and Fortune 500 arena covering the area from DC to Boston. I will never go back to residential, or new projects, for that matter.
Residential sucks, especially when the company is tight wadded and doesnāt want to pay and train to retain top talent, I actually feel bad for Howard because from what Iāve been told by former co workers it is not user error, but all he has to do is hire a better company to write better code and modules.
One of my all time favorite Robin moments was when she was laughing at Howard about having his own personal weather man. Iāve never heard Stern get so angry at Robin.
Yeah, that was wild. He had a complete meltdown, and changed his story like 3-4 times in a minute.
Didnāt he even threaten to end the show early?
I think underneath the elitism implications, he was paranoid about that notorious poon hound Bolaris sniffing around Beth.
One of the greatest examples is when their Prophet system was down, and Howard yelled at Gary for not calling Jeff Schick from IBM to fix it, even though IBM was not the OEM of the Prophet system or have any ownership in it at all.
The absolute best was the interest rate conversation. All of them struggled with it.. Fred too!
I remember when it happened live, and I wanted to reach through my radio and smack all of them. How is anyone that fucking dumb?
I want to scream at them all the time. They are so out of touch with the common man. I wish the office staff could chime in more. Or theyād take calls.
In 2009, when Sal was having money problems, Howard told him to save a little money and invest it with Shearson Lehman.
Shearson Lehman stopped operating in 1994.
to be fair, as a new yorker my whole life, i had no idea what chic-fil-a was until 2011 or 2012. and even that was only because i was a teenager on tumblr.
Itās insane how little he knows, about anything.
Left to his own devices, could he hold up his end of a conversation about anything? Old NY radio guys, maybe, but who the fuck wants to talk or hear about that?
The Pelican turned into a New York snob (of very limited interests) who's chosen to live in a plastic bubble. Booey got it right calling the Pelican a snob. Just because the chef who prepared the fancy Booey dinner wasn't NY-based (and wasn't associated with Nobu) he was an "overrated" chef.
I wish we could hear him slosh that word around every day. The word was trying so hard to get out of his mouth but that dental system just sloshed it up hard.
Shawerma? Thatās when youāre having sex with a girl doggy style and another girl reaches in from behind and starts tickling your balls š. Everybody knows that.
Yes and hot water. If thatās all he eats and is still gaining weight like he says he is there is something growing inside of him. He must be sneaking food when nobody is looking.
They go around the corner, get a combo platter from Halal Guys and turn it into a dozen $45 sushi rolls. On the menu they call it the Scorched Anus Roll.
He lives in Florida letās be real. He just doesnāt wanna admit it because itās a republican state and he doesnāt wanna admit it but taxes are less and people are happier there like howie
I have come to realize that Howard is full of shit. Things he says is now so neutered to get on the good side of celebrities.
The show sucks now. This is why Jeff Lewis and Andy has better ratings.
I know the guys on the show read this. Get away from that sinking ship.
Howard lives in the city, but the dude doesn't leave his tower. He has never just walked down south of 58th and he sticks to his upper west side restaurants. Shawarma is also kind of only newly popular. I think the first time I heard of it was like 2012.
Shawarma been a thing for thousands of years. If you went to neighborhoods in NY with a lot of Arabs or Israelis, like in Brooklyn, you'd have seen it long ago. But it is funny that Howard barely leaves his block.
I'm sure he's never walked the 1/2 mile from his home to the Sirius building, and takes a limo to Nobu on 57th, which is probably half that distance. I'd be surprised if he's walked to Lincoln Center, which is right across the friggin street from where he lives. But I have seen Beth walking the bulldog back in the day.
The Halal Guys cart has been in midtown, with lines down the block, for the last ~35 years. You don't have to go to the outer boroughs to find middle eastern food..
LOL, the guy I was responding to said he never heard of shwarma until 2012. Yes, Halal guys is right there. I love their food but it's basically 50/50 whether I'm going to get painful squirts. Thankfully I have a halal guys store within walking distance of home. Much cleaner than the carts and the diarrhea factor is much lower. It only gets to me if I eat too much of the hot sauce.
Not a thing wrong with those neighborhoods.I see a shit ton of celebrities in that area. But Howie's not a man of the street. I used to see Artie getting a BEC at a deli near their studio all the time. I worked across the st.
I understand Shawarma has been around, but to white suburbanites and people who don't live or go to Brooklyn, it didn't exist for us until The Avengers made it well known lol
You know, one of the biggest film franchises in history... That movie ended with them all just silently eating Shawarma lol - that's literally the first time 3/4 of the country ever saw or heard about it.
The Halal guys started in 1990.. their cart has been a staple in midtown with lines down the block since at least the early 2000s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Halal_Guys
He doesn't really live in New York anymore -- out in the Hamptons, which is hours away and mostly in Florida
And if you have private chefs and nobu you aren't dealing with food trucks
Howard has long been wildly ignorant all while criticizing others for the same. The hypocrisy is never ending.
Itās possible some is his shtick like pronouncing names wrong because heās better than others. But either way, heās not as smart as many make him out to be.
His exposure to New York City is walking from his limo to a restaurant or building and vice versa. It's been a long time since he "walked the streets", and back then there would have been mostly hot dog vendors.
Yes. Every day. Theyāve gone to trying to infiltrate Facebook groups that donāt tolerate bashing in an attempt to be relevant, itās quite hilarious when they get roasted and banned.
and you don't know how to spell it
You don't know that.
Immediately I knew Gary was lying š
Noine stars on yelp
it's actually a valid spelling. words that come from languages with other character sets (arabic in this case) can be like that.
you're kitten me
Bone apple tea!
Underrated Sub
Like mac hein
No. There are romanization systems. It isnāt a free for all.
No it's not, and shawerma is a spelling that's in use. Both things are true. That said, I would consider shawarma the right spelling.

Broās visit after you attempt suicide
I thought being a bro was going to Jennifer Anistonās wedding, Robin. I was being a bro with Orlando Bloom, right?
The fact that he has paid lots of money for his A/V setup and he can't get it to work right always makes me smile.
Not his fault. I worked for that company. They suck at programming. The programmers all have side hustles and donāt give a shit about the companyās clients because they pay them shit.
I'm not saying it's his fault. I just find it funny. It seems like he's been having issues with his systems for decades now. At some point why not try and simplify it?
You canāt simplify 27 room systems lol, you can improve them though. Howard is too loyal and refuses to fire the company.
Are you talking about his system in Florida, NYC or the Hamptons? Or does he have the same in all?
Too loyal? More likely, the company is the cheapest one out there and/or gives him some kind of "deal". Because we all know how tight-fisted Howard is with money.
Theyāre not at all cheap for the client, theyāre cheap on their end, and yes the same company did all 3 homes.
Hey, what's the backbone of the system, Crestron? Could you describe some of the details?
Itās Crestron, I never went to his place as I was a Field Engineer on the New Project side of the business at the time. Only heard stories from the Engineers on the Service side, and they were mostly complaints about our programmers. I got the hell out of that company and the residential side of Integration altogether.

Thx! Interesting. Ok so whatās the best alternative to a Harmony? I fucking hate mine and they barely support it.
And Howard has problem with all kinds of tech. He was always asking Jon Hein for help with his iPhone.
Pretty sure the iPhone stuff is for the air and to get Jon air time, but I digress.
Call Jeff Shick

I donāt know how you do it, but THANK YOU
This is the first time I've actually read Cormano mocking Stern.
The absolute best was the interest rate conversation. All of them struggled with it.. Fred too! I remember when it happened live, and I wanted to reach through my radio and smack all of them. How is anyone that fucking dumb?
It is too hard for them to do math that early in the morning
I want to scream at them all the time. They are so out of touch with the common man. I wish the office staff could chime in more. Or theyād take calls.
Feigning ignorance is his oldest shtick. He thinks we find it funny. I did in 1995 when I was in middle school.
In 2009, when Sal was having money problems, Howard told him to save a little money and invest it with Shearson Lehman. Shearson Lehman stopped operating in 1994.
To be fair, no one should give a fuck what Chick FIL A is.
to be fair, as a new yorker my whole life, i had no idea what chic-fil-a was until 2011 or 2012. and even that was only because i was a teenager on tumblr.
It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!
wtf
Dude?!ā¦.you actually keep track of all these things and have links with dates to prove it? Put down the smart phone and go for a walk.
Don't speak like that to our beautiful angel
He probably thinks shawarma is what builds up in Salās pouch.
āRichard would eat it out of Salās pouch. Right, Robin?ā
Iām not sure I know what shawerma is either. Now, shawarma I know.
āJew broad, kills draculasā¦ā
OK? š³
This aint how do you spell Shawarma magazine, pal!
nice snark but it's a valid spelling. arabic->english can be like that
I never said it wasnāt a valid spelling.
You know what you did, pal.
He barely lives in NYC.
Heās Florida Man now. Guess he should stop being such a huge fan of the Knicks and start following the Heat.
I'll bet that pelican can't name three players on the roster. I would rather get my asshole bleached than listen to him talk about sports
Itās insane how little he knows, about anything. Left to his own devices, could he hold up his end of a conversation about anything? Old NY radio guys, maybe, but who the fuck wants to talk or hear about that?
N.O. Pelicans, obā¦
Jackie probably did with his lamb on a stick and two hot dogs!
No, do you?
When you act like an asshole, when people treat you like one, donāt be surprised.
The Pelican turned into a New York snob (of very limited interests) who's chosen to live in a plastic bubble. Booey got it right calling the Pelican a snob. Just because the chef who prepared the fancy Booey dinner wasn't NY-based (and wasn't associated with Nobu) he was an "overrated" chef.
Imagine thinking NYC has cornered the market on deliciousness. Thatās not snobbery; thatās just being a mongoloid.
He plays dumb in an attempt to relate to his non-existent truck driver audience
You mean the ones who have to pull over because theyāre laughing so hard and almost caused a major pile up?
What else does he not know about? Gyros? Tacos? Hot dogs??
āRobin have you heard of this good people are eating called Hot Dogs?ā
he lives in such an amercian bubble...I love him but always hated how UN-cosmopolitan he is for all that money he has.
I wish we could hear him slosh that word around every day. The word was trying so hard to get out of his mouth but that dental system just sloshed it up hard.
Sho, in a shenshe, he a was shloshing around shawarma?
Shawerma? Thatās when youāre having sex with a girl doggy style and another girl reaches in from behind and starts tickling your balls š. Everybody knows that.
Howard knows Yougurt, Metamucil and a handful of nuts thatās it.
And hot water
Yes and hot water. If thatās all he eats and is still gaining weight like he says he is there is something growing inside of him. He must be sneaking food when nobody is looking.
Would you get me some hot water? #HOT!!
Sauce on side
He knows half of it straight in the garbage.
HALF THE SHAWARMA, STRAIGHT IN THE TRASH!
Howard has never lived in the real world. Even when he was poor.
Does Nobu offer it?
They go around the corner, get a combo platter from Halal Guys and turn it into a dozen $45 sushi rolls. On the menu they call it the Scorched Anus Roll.
It's funnier that lots of places claim to serve shawarma but it's actually just meat grilled up and stuck on a pita.
He doesnāt know queens. If you grew up in queens, youāve definitely gotten shawarma after leaving a bar drunk.
Pleaseā¦can you imagine if his limo got caught in traffic on Roosevelt Avenue under the 7? Heās be absolutely petrified for his life!
Howard the coward
https://i.redd.it/xrk6byiz7gzc1.gif
He lives in Florida letās be real. He just doesnāt wanna admit it because itās a republican state and he doesnāt wanna admit it but taxes are less and people are happier there like howie
You think he eats street food?!
"New York has the greatest ______ in the world" š
Heās unaware of food that isnāt hot water, a handful of nuts or half thrown out eggplant parm
He lives in the Hamptons.
He had an apartment in Manhattan 25 years ago. He's really just from Long Island and he rarely left his basement.
I've lived in NYC nearly 20 years. Never once heard the term but in all fairness I ignore anything even remotely connected to inferior cultures.
I have come to realize that Howard is full of shit. Things he says is now so neutered to get on the good side of celebrities. The show sucks now. This is why Jeff Lewis and Andy has better ratings. I know the guys on the show read this. Get away from that sinking ship.

Is their chicken spicy?
No selling chickens!!
Yes itās spicy what do you want!!

Avengers. Drawing a blank. I only know Hulk, and if he had the combo with whitesaucehotsauce from halal guys, I would not want it be behind him
The Halal guys started in 1990.. their cart has been a staple in midtown with lines down the block since at least the early 2000s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Halal_Guys
He doesnāt go anywhere
Correction: he has a luxury apartment in NYC. The guy also eats a Mediterranean diet.
He doesn't really live in New York anymore -- out in the Hamptons, which is hours away and mostly in Florida And if you have private chefs and nobu you aren't dealing with food trucks
He knows, did you hear him read ring off the basketball stats
Heās lying
no, do you?
He only knows chicken chow mein wiff sauce on side
He pays 33% MPR not APR like everyone else does. š¤£
He lives in Florida
Ofc he has no idea what shawarma is. why are you even asking this question.
He didn't know what a beef pattie was either.
Howard used to ball up pieces of turkey meat and call it lunch.
Donāt forget the podado
To be fair, NY didnāt get a Chick Fil A until the mid 2010s.
Doesnāt he live in Florida?
If it's not served at Nobu or if he can't get sauce on side, then it's not on his radar.
it's the capital of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next week, heāll know a guy who works at a shawarma joint. If heās not on vacation. From his 9 hours per week gig.
Donāt ask. Itās a whole thing.
Howard has long been wildly ignorant all while criticizing others for the same. The hypocrisy is never ending. Itās possible some is his shtick like pronouncing names wrong because heās better than others. But either way, heās not as smart as many make him out to be.
Howard lives in Flaaarida! He's probably just mad that he can't use his shitty, hackey "indian guy" impression anymore
It's good, tasty food.
His exposure to New York City is walking from his limo to a restaurant or building and vice versa. It's been a long time since he "walked the streets", and back then there would have been mostly hot dog vendors.
Neither do you, with that spelling.
Bit of a stumble.
He's not stupid and pretends to be stupid for effect. He puts on not knowing things to as to sound not too "New York."
Thatās swine food for poors
I live in a multicultural city and don't know what a shawarma is. Have we run out of Stern subjects to whine about or something?
haha you got downvoted for not hating on Howard enough in the howardstern sub
Yes. Every day. Theyāve gone to trying to infiltrate Facebook groups that donāt tolerate bashing in an attempt to be relevant, itās quite hilarious when they get roasted and banned.
neither did Tony stark
What is it? Iām not from New York tho
Neither do I. So, with that said, WTF is shawerma?
We donāt really have them here. He is pseudo vegetarian and wonāt eat from a food cart like halal guys
Fact of the matter is, neither do you.
