Howard Stern teases 'devastating news' at Sirius XM
Howard Stern struggled to recover after receiving "devastating news" during last Wednesday morning's satellite radio broadcast.
When the Howard Stern Show returned from commercial break at 7:30 a.m., Stern sounded distraught.
“I’ve had it here," said Stern as The Who's classic "Who Are You" blasted behind him. “What do I do?...How do you do a show when you’ve just been given devastating news?”
Listeners held their breath, bracing for tragic news about Stern's senior citizen bulldog Bianca, or a Robin Quivers cancer diagnosis, but Quivers seemed as clueless as the audience.
"What's the devastating news?" she asked.
"I don’t want to talk about it. That’s how devastating it is. I don’t know how you do that. You know what? Just finish this song and I’ll go recover.”
Stern then made it clear that the news was related to some sort of business at Sirius XM, saying:
“I’m sorry if I sound disjointed, but there’s stuff that goes on around here sometimes, and they bring it to me during the show, and sometimes it so fucks my head up that—usually I can right back into the show, but this time, they rocked me. This time, they rocked me. There’s always something going on around here Robin. I want to get out. When you tell me you’re ready to get out, I’m getting out with you. …Let’s get out. It’s enough already. We did so much for this company, would they be kind enough to release me? If I need to? For my mental health? Would they do it for me? I mean, maybe it’s the one last decent thing they could do for me. I need to get out…”
Stern has a ways to go before he's "free". His latest Sirius XM contract isn't up until the end of 2015.
