Howard Stern listening thread - Page 59 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I tend to agree with Jimmy Kimmel that people give Fred credit for being smarter than he actually is (though I agree that he's almost certainly the smartest person employed by the show). I would be surprised if he was lower than ~115, but I don't think he's a near-genius. I can't really get a good read on Howard's IQ, but he seems pretty horrible at math, so that would definitely hurt his overall score.

JD: 110
Jon Hein: 110
Booey: 107
Scott DePace: 108
Jason: 122 (the high)
Sal: 92
Richard: 95
Ralph: 95

It really is a shame the in-studio people are such pussies. I think Fred would be in the 120s, Benjy would be 115, and Howard and Robin would be in the 110-115 range. I also think it'd be fun to get scores from people like Artie, Ronnie, Scott Salem, KC, ETM, Beet, Bigfoot, etc.

Hein didn't take it.

I don't know why everyone is so up on Jason all of a sudden. Seems to me like the high will either be Depace or Booey.

Will said today that one person scored surprisingly high and one person scored surprisingly low. The high has got to be Jeff or Richard, and the low has got to be Jason or Ralph. Or maybe Sal if he scored in the dull range.

Haven't gone to bed so I guess I'll stay up and listen to this since it should be fantastic radio.

Are they doing the reveal early in the show? I'm up as well, but there's no way I'm going to make it to the 8 o'clock hour.

I think Jason is the high score simply because there are so few options. I think we can agree that it has to be him, JD, Gary, or DePace since Jon didn't take it. Gary doesn't strike me as having a significantly above-average IQ, and I think he and DePace will be very close. If true, that just leaves JD and Jason. I wouldn't be surprised if it's JD, but as Robin said, I think he'd score poorly on anything that involves verbal communication, so I give the edge to Jason. Can't wait to find out, though.

Jason has just never struck me as a smart dude. Gary and Depace just seem to be the most intelligent out of that group, but maybe I'm just thinking that because they have the best jobs and I'm equating that to intelligence somehow.

JD is another one that just doesn't seem smart to me. It wouldn't surprise me if he was below Richard or Ralph.

It would be great if Jeff The Drunk was the surprisingly high score.

The one score I want to know more than anything else is (of course) Sal. It would be great if he scored 85, but it would be best for the show if he was the 122. Him outscoring Gary, even by one point, would be hilarious.

One hour until the reveal. Meh.

We're ten minutes in, and I'm already loving this. It's going to be a fantastic show.

I think Jeff scoring higher then a staff member is a good bet.

I'd also bet that somebody cries before the show is over (including WUS).

Heh, Sal is ******ed. I think my guess of 92 might be too high.

I'd like to parlay Richard being in the top 4 and Sal being in the bottom 4.

You might be right. I really don't know what to think about Richard. Part of his "dumbness" isn't actually a lack of intelligence, so maybe he is above average.

Carry the 1....3 plus 7.......

Yeah, Richard has never done anything dumb, he just does gross stuff and has an odd sense of humor.

ETM updates? This may be the best show since the Artie/Teddy fight. YOUR ROBBIN MY MONEY, TED!

Well, the show was awesome up until Eric from Hoboken called in. Go back to ETM or the bets imo.

This Wendy +35 bet vs. Sal is one of my favorites. I'm taking Wendy; it would be really close if it was +30, though.

Yeah, I think the edge in that is that Wendy isn't 100% the 61. And Sal is stupid.

What's the highest level of ******ation, though? If HPE is the 61, Wendy can't be more than like 65, right?

Holy crap. Wendy coughing up a lung as they tell her she's a 61...just outstanding stuff. This is the best show they've ever done.

I knew he was going to do that "after these words" bs.

So far nothing has really been that shocking. Maybe Richard's score. I don't really like how everyone is so bunched up because I think that'll make it less likely that they bust each other's balls as hard.

Yeah, it was a bit disappointing when everyone was 110+ and so close together. It's still been an outstanding bit, though.

EDIT: This will be good. I like DePace, and I think he's going to hammer away at this non-stop, which will be great on the Wrap Up Show.
