Jim Florentine on KMS:

I didn't know Mitch that well but he was a funny fucker that was filling 2 thousand seat theaters everynight. It' s really sad because he was on the verge of becoming a superstar. Alot of comics are jealous of other comedians sucess which is really dumb. We are all in the same boat. We should be rooting for each other. I hope every comedian gets their own show. Good for them, they busted their ass to get that. And that's what Mitch did. He toured around the country in his RV making people laugh and worked his ass off everynight. I'm sitting in a hotel room up in Albany, NY thinking to myself that I'm a lucky guy that I'm still alive and doing something I love. I know Mitch loved what he was doing too and it's such a shame he was taken away from us. RIP my brother.

Around the Stern internet world with Doc

Old habits die hard. I decided to stop posting on all message boards except my own and devote my time to my newest project: Howardshrine: The Book, but I did do some lurking the last few days and here is what is happening in the Howard Stern internet community.

1. Rev Bob Levy and Joey Boots have kissed and made up, lightening tensions between the the popular Howard Stern fan site, SFN and Rev's comedy board KMS. Rev recently kissed and made up with Dan the Song Parody Man, Mutt the owner of SFN, and now Boots. I am starting to think Rev doesn't really want to fight ANYONE....He just likes the kissing part. Well, from all reports the Rev is still mad at me for a comment I made in my blog, which I took out when I found out it upset him so much. wahh I don't like what you said in your blog wahh. awww...Come over here Bob I got something for you to kiss. Give me a call when you grow the fuck up pussy JewBoy.

2. Doctor Ivan is calling it quits and closing down the Howard Stern Traveling board after 8 years. Thank you Doctor Ivan. I have nothing but fond memories of my time on your board. Doctor Ivan in a video report says that the board has lost its edge and it's over Johnny. Sorry to tell you Ivan but it lost it's edge about a year ago when I stopped posting there. Thank you for all the great laughs and all the pieces of Doc "art" for the other book I am working on: Getting to Howard's Fans!!

Good luck with your future plans. You are always welcome to come to the Howardshrine message board and hang out in our guest forum. You and your croonies can make posts under anoymous names. It's where nobodies can pretend to be somebodies....just like your old board.
Doctor Ivan says goodbye here

3. Gdog at the sternchat board continues to make changes, trying to keep the new site afloat. Banning some Opie and Anthony trolls, adding some new mods, and a new TOS on the way it's possible that things may be turning the corner. He still exhibits poor communication skills as demonstrated at the Nigger What message board (he is in negoiations with Nigger What and his crew there after making a blunder with that group) but at least he is trying. Gdog got mad at me for saying in this blog that his Board is the Home of the trolls that ruined Howard's board. No hard feelings, good luck young man and thanks for reinstating me on your board, bringing the total number of boards I am banned from to ZERO!!

4. And where did those Opie and Anthony trolls who were banned from the sternchat board go? Why Rev's KMS of course. You know, the board that Joey Boots denounced just a few days ago calling it a Opie and Anthony board. Well, there certainly is a lot of Opie and Anthony Fans there. There is one thread over 100 pages long (unheard of at KMS) thanks to sternchat board refugees: Fandick, texicali(who got mad at me for posting a pic she sent me in my blog and called the police) and company. Chaunce posts there now too and so does Joey Boots. Things that make you go hmmmm.....


And that's the way it is. People fight, then they make up, then they fight again, then they make up, and on and on it goes....How could I possibly stop reporting on such fun? Maybe I won't stop after all. Maybe I will just post the truth and not worry about who gets mad wahh wahh wahh and if people don't like it they can:

VIVA LAS VEGAS ???

Howard Stern recently accounced that there would be no shows from Las Vegas this year because of how he was being treated by his company but I have just received a report that may give Stern fans hope that that decision could be reversed. One of my patients just reported to me that on Monday March 21st he was vacationing in Las Vegas. He went to the Hard Rock Cafe but was unable to park in their parking lot because there were people there taking measurements for a future event. He asked the doorman what was up and he was told that it was the Stern show people making preparations for another 3 crazy days in Sin City. He asked the doorman if he was certain that the Show was coming this year and he was told as far as he knows, Yes, there will be shows from Vegas this year. He also reported to me that his neck pain and headaches were much better after the treatment. More as this story unfolds.


[update: VegasSternfan from sternfannetwork.com checked out the situation and this is what he discovered:

Here's the scoop boys.....

Out in the parking lot, they are getting ready to film some bits for
an upcoming Biker Build-Off episode for Discovery Channel. That's
what's going on in the parking lot.

MOTLEY CRUE is doing a show tomorrow night in The JOINT.

Howard Stern has not booked any blocks of rooms for any shows in 2005. )

Also anyone who is already in the shrine but would like to add something else to their display please contact me as well.

(excerpt from the Whacky Feud article)

Hey Now!!! I have been collecting autographs and memorabilia from Howard Stern Show personalities for over five years and had interviewed many of those people for deansplanet for three of those years. I have had the opportunity to met a few of those folks, and have talked to many of them on the phone, through instant message and email and I consider them to be my friends. I also have had feuds with many of them over the years for various reasons---usually due to my brutal honesty in my blogs, my articles and in my posts on various message boards--but that depends on who you ask I guess. No hard feelings to anyone from this side. There have been many ups and many downs but through it all it has been an amazingly fun time and something that I will never forget. I still enjoy doing these interviews and writing these articles and I don't believe this is a goodbye forever....but it is a goodbye for now. Unless some interviews still out there come through like the one with Jillian Grace that is under review at Playboy or KC Armstrong decides to do his tell-all here then I will return sooner than expected. For the next few months I plan on devoting most of my time to a new project. Yes, this crazy journey is taking another turn: Howardshrine--The Book!!! At this time I would like to thank Dean for the opportunity he has given me on this great site, and for all his patience, support, and friendship. If I was gay, and I'm not, I would go balls deep on his ass.....and I mean that. Great, great guy. I would like to thank all of the people who have contributed to the shrine and to those who granted me interviews. If you know anyone who would like to be included in the shrine please have them contact me at howardshrine@aol.com and if they would like to be included in Howardshrine: The Book please have them contact me as soon as possible. Thanks also to the readers of Deansplanet and for all the nice emails and encouraging feedback I have received over the years. Be sure and visit my blog at www.howardshrine.com for continued updates on the happenings of the Howard Stern show and the Stern fan internet community and if you would like to chat with some True Fans of Stern and maybe a Show celeb now and then check out my message board and bababooey to y'all.

Peace,

Doc


The Greatest Howard Stern Fan of All-Time

Downward spiral continues for Board of Trolls!!

I was recently banned from the Pirate Stern board for making a joke. The new owner running the place seems to have a lot to learn. He allowed three threads containing copyrighted pics belonging to Playboy to be posted on the new board,nude pics of Jillian Grace and Debbie Gibson from their recent issue. The Debbie Gibson thread was linked on www.fark.com and thousands of people came and crashed the board. I knew it would just be a matter of time before the Playboy attorneys would contact the board so for a goof I broke my silence of two weeks there to post in one of the Jillian Grace threads: "I just stopped by to inform you all that I have sent this link to Playboy and expect to be hearing from their attorneys soon." My post was deleted almost immediately by one mod, sipawitz, and shortly after that I was banned by one of the other mods, pinchdice. hahaha I think it's hilarious that this group of people who did nothing but bitch and moan about censorship and unjust bannings on Howard's Bulletin Board censored and banned me for this harmless post.

Now more crys of censorship are being heard there as the dummy owner added another troll to his staff, the infamous texicali. Texicali has been throwing her weight around banning people, threatening people, throwing them in the clown house and deleting threads she just doesn't like.

Read here...

(update: sorry about the links. it seems those threads were deleted too. haha
what a mess over there)


Recently, Texicali, the Queen of the Trolls, even called my local police and filed a false police report with them because she didn't like some of my comments on the web. She even told them that she works for the Howard Stern Show and I was trying to get her fired. Hello? It's the internet. Time to get some fresh air.

Contributing to Chaunce Hayden's fall from grace with the Stern show, she now is
running KC Armstrong's official website.

Careful KC. You got a real whacko there my man.

Rev Bob Levy vs Joey Boots??

Over a year ago I had a run-in with the Rev Bob Levy and he got mad and challenged me to a kickboxing match to settle our dispute. We were to put up $2,000 each and fight three one-minute rounds--winner takes all. His beef with me was I called him a drunk and said he cheated on his wife. Who knew he had a drinking problem and was going through a divorce at the time? Well, we never did fight and were able to patch up our differences. But that was just the beginning. A month ago on the Howard Stern show, the Rev called out long time friend Dan the Song Parody Man over a incident with his new girlfriend in Las Vegas. Now Rev Bob has set his sights on Wack Packer Joey Boots. There has been tension for quite some time between the popular Stern fan message board, sternfannetwork and Rev's board,kingmegasite. Many of Rev's original members came from the sternfannetwork but Kingmegasite caters to fans of all comedians and radio personalities. Part of Joey's beef is all of the Opie and Anthony fans being allowed to trash Howard on Rev's board. Rev claims that he doesn't even own the board any longer but Joey says that that is all just a front to help Rev keep in good standing with the Stern show. But this feud by all reports though runs much,much deeper. It's personal and the Rev has challenged Joey to a boxing match, offering him $200 to step in to the ring to settle their dispute.

Rev Bob:

i say lets do it..its the only way i can beat that prick down with out him getting a lawyer..i say get some balls and lets do its boots..its time to knock that scumbag out infront of everyone .....oh yeah ..i,ll even pay for him to get there and hand him 200 bucks when he arrives

Breaking News: Miss Howard Stern gets new implants!!

From Bob Thorney:

Friday, March 18, 2005 12:25am ET

Andrea is now lying in bed on her back and she has tape and ace
bandages and a special bra wrapped around her and she is all swollen up. She got 600cc breast implants today, which is just over a D cup. She wanted Double D's but they couldn't make them that big or her skin would break! She has to wait a couple of years before she can get Double D's.

Andrea also got her lips injected again for the 3rd time. (She just had them injected for the 2nd time on Monday!)

After she woke up from the surgery, she said to the doctor, "What about my liposuction?" and the doctor told her "You're not getting liposuction. You didn't order that and anyways there isn't anything there to liposuction!"

Andrea was real hungry after the surgery and she wanted to leave right after, but they made her wait 1/2 hour.

Then she was ready to go and she went to a restaurant, and ate Chinese food, a cheeseburger, fries, ice cream, coke and water.

She wanted the doctor to give her Double D's but he couldn't make them that big. He said that her skin would rupture. He said that she would have to wait a couple of years to get Double D's if that's what she wanted. By the way, the doctor said that her breasts were perfect the way they were before (she had 34C implants which she got when she was 18). But Andrea basically twisted his arm to get the implants, by saying that if he didn't do it, she would just go somewhere else to have it done.

Nigger What: The Comic Book...coming soon!!

"PSYCHOLOGISTS AND PSYCHIATRISTS TELL ME THAT I'VE BEEN HALLUCINATING FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS. IN FACT, THEY SAY IT ALL STARTED THE DAY I WITNESSED MY FATHER BEING BEATEN AND LYNCHED. WITH THE AID OF MODERN DAY MEDICINES THE SO-CALLED HALLUCINATIONS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. MY FATHER NOW VISITS ME WHEN I THINK OF USING HIS STEEL BLADE. WE TALKED LAST NIGHT. I WASN'T HALLUCINATING."

Breaking News: Artie Lange settles the debate and names Doc as the GREATEST HOWARD STERN FAN OF ALL-TIME!!

Artie Lange was coming to Pittsburgh to appear at the Funny Bone Comedy Club at Station Square and according to the owner of the club Jeff Schneider on his radio talk show (The Unshow, weekdays 2 to 3, 1550 AM The Edge) this would be Artie’s final appearance there. Artie was moving in to the larger theaters. For that reason alone I had to go and I reserved my seat weeks in advance. And boy am I glad I did. It turned out that seeing Artie for his final appearance at the Funny Bone paled in comparison to the historic event that occurred over this 4 sold out show weekend.

So in the words of the great Porky Pig.. "A bleeee a bleeee a bleeeeeeee that's all folks!" But thank you for your amazing support and kinds words. And That goes for all of you who were supportive of me over the years. Thank you. As for the haters.... you'll find someone else to hate and life will go on for all of us. Thanks again for everything! Signing off.

Goodbye Chaunce....wah



(update: Chaunce commented again today on no longer being on the show:

I know, it blows my mind to. But I believe they feel I leaked information to the press (which I didn't)... or that it's my fault this became public so I'm being punished. The truth is, the press knew about it 2 hours before I even got my subpeona and the only statements I've made were (I don't own stock, I don't know Howard off the air and this is a witch hunt).... since the SEC Meeting all I've said is "No Comment" regarding the meeting.. but because Ronnie's name became public I'm sure they think it's my fault. So screw it. What can I do.. 17 years of great radio and good times... it had to end sometime.)

The fans say Goodbye

From today 3-5-05

Thanks for your support Al... I agree, this sucks. But I know the show and I know how they think. It's sad, (I'm sure many are thrilled..lol) But you'll never hear me on the show again... I'm 100 percent sure of that. You won't hear them mention my name.. you won't hear sound effects of me crying.. and you certainly won't hear me. But I gave it my all and really put it out there for people to laugh at for nearly 2 decades. But it would have been nice to gone out better than this. Would a gold watch be too much to ask for? haha
Ugh... what are you going to do. I did my best.

Yes, you did your best and it just wasn't good enough. GOODBYE AGAIN WAHH!!!!

King Of All Blacks: Ask the King!!!

I few weeks ago when the King of All Blacks was on the Stern show he announced
his new website. I have been trying to get the King's autograph for the last few years. After visiting his new site I immediately emailed him my autograph request.I also asked if he wanted to do an interview for my column at www.deansplanet.com to help promote his new show, Ask the King Show. His manager called me and set up a phone interview time. I thought I recognized his voice but I wasn't quite sure until the interview. On the phone, along with the King, was James, the man who was in charge of the Whack Pack Live House in Las Vegas. He was now in charge of the King's new show and in promoting the King's new website and career. Last year, Wack Packers The King, Zolar, Miss Howard Stern, and High Pitch Eric lived in a house together for a couple of weeks, with cameras rolling 24 hours a day. The old adage what happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas did not apply in this case. I have heard nothing but horror stories since those cameras stopped rolling: He didn't pay us, we are going to sue, we have footage of Zolar and Andrea doing naughty things, and on and on and on........

In this phone interview, I took the opportunity to ask about the Whack Pack Live house and the events that went on then and since.

Listen here...

I wanted to have this article up in time on the Planet for today's show (both the King and James were on today playing The Freaky Feud) and for tonight's E! show.(The King's last appearance is airing) but it didn't happen. I was waiting to receive the autograph in the mail that the King promised to send and I also wanted to clean up the audio more. (Thanks for the help Dan the Song Parody Man) Well,I'm still waiting for the autograph and I'm still trying to figure out how to improve the audio. Hopefully, we will get it together and be posting that full article soon.

In the meantime,if anyone associated with the Whack Pack live would like to address anything mentioned in this interview please contact me and I will post your comments when the Planet article is ready to go.

After Zolar called in today and accused James again of not paying up I think the title of this upcoming article might be: The Whacky Fued!!! Stay tuned.
