Official Howard Stern Show discussion thread

I wonder if Howard's praying conversation today is about Artie...any thoughts?

[javierm27]

Once again JD gets turned down, haha. Speed date chick wont go out with him, surprise, surprise. What a moron, he needs to stop with these stupid choices and start picking sure things.

[javierm27]

Ok and now I am eating my words, JD banged a stripper.

I missed it.

Granted I haven't gotten to watch the full segment yet, but I kinda feel bad for JD in particular with all the heat he takes about having "too high standards". It's not about not accepting a girl who is only super hot or anything, I'm much like this myself, it's just a matter of who you're attracted to, I mean you can't help that. It's hardwired into your brain from birth, you're attracted to who you're attracted to. I know I wouldn't want to go out with a girl I feel next to nothing for, just for the sake of being out on a date, the alternative being home alone.

[junior94]

I doubt there are many HTV subscribers.

Well and their "original series", Howard so often talks them up like they're the greatest things in creation, and really, not so much. That Bowling Beauties thing was a joke, and this Bonus Show, the couple I've watched, it's like they take these random couple of clips and throw them together (along with incredibly unfunny banter for Jon Hein and Rachel Fine) and make a show out of it just to have an excuse to say they've produced another original series.

[jackisback24]

remember the show that the guy from the Simpsons created for Howard on the radio? Forget the guy's name, but the idea was creative, but I thought that episode they did was very boring. Beth even had a role.

[jackisback24]

Bill Murray is on Letterman this week. Be great if he stopped by the show while in NY.

Where's Gilbert. Him and Artie is lol.

I get what you're saying but at the same time he thought he had a chance with that hooker chick for some reason, and I think that kind of mindset is what bothers me. As for the speed dating he didn't have much of a shot with the chick he picked, so I guess what I figured he should have done is just go out on a date with funbags, who had a nice rack, she was digging him. JD is in a tough spot though, and he gets a lot of crap for it, but if anything the girls he picks he kind of sets himself up for disaster. He gets more nervous than normal around them and just comes off like a baffling idiot to me, which is great for the show. I guess, what I am saying is practice on the chicks you can get and work your way up.

But that's completely different. For one thing I'm just talking about the Howard TV end of things, so the video original series. What you're referring to is the "The Bitter Half" segment, Sam Simon is the Simpsons guy who wrote it, it was a radio segment and just a special one-off starring only the spouses/girlfriends of the main crew (though Gilbert voiced Mr X).

No, I agree with you completely Junior, and the point of my post was that they created that one show "Bitter Half" and talked of more of those episodes would be forthcoming, and they never did. It's like they do a bunch of pilot shows and try them out and if they don't have legs, they quit on them.

Having said that, has anyone seen the Channel 9 shows? I remember them in the 90s on a local UHF channel and thought they were funny.

Sal's take on the Mel Gibson scandal during the wrap up show had me in tears.

Oh that's right, there WAS supposed to be more of them, wasn't there.

I occasionally caught the channel 9 show, I remember one sketch in particular had me in tears, though I can't recall that many specifics. It was some type of game show they were doing, Kenneth Keith was one of the contestants, and Howard as the host had this ridiculously high afro (ala Kid'n'Play, though much longer) with a baseball hat on top.

I remember the $25 pyramid with Daniel Carver in the middle.

[jackisback24]

When was the last time something really buzz-worthy and not related to Artie happened on this show? Little Lupe probably or even "get the poison out" dude, but there haven't been any oh-my-gosh moments in a while.

[junior94]

Any of you guys ever actually emailed into the show? (and maybe even got a reply back?) was it just SternShow@Howardstern.com that you used?

Because I tried yesterday, that's the basic one I used, seeing if I could get hooked up on facebook with the #3 girl from JD's speed dating :D I admit I was totally smitten by her.

You're right, show has been pretty blah lately. Still love it and listen to the whole show everyday, but the show is not as good when Howard feels the need to act like a little bitch. I hate to say it, but show would be 1000X better if he would just get rid of that golddigging BethO.

can you imagine if Howard went through what Mel/Oksana going through with Beth O voicemails in the media? Everyday he'd be defending himself.

The 4th girl Ann (that he picked) is the only other one I'd of considered. I wasn't really attracted to the first two chicks at all.

That's the girl I thought he should have picked. She sounded pretty cool too, and check out that rack.

[CrashDMB237]

Show has been terrible since Artie left, bottom line. Howard and Robin are not funny when they are alone. Tracy Morgan, Jim Breuer and Adam Corolla were the best things on the show as of late and go figure, they are all guys who are looked at as the "Artie" roll. I've been finding myself turning on my iPod more and more on my commute to work. If it wasn't for Fred I don't know if I could listen at all. Some of his timing with those soundbytes is hilarious. And the Tradio calls of course.

I disagree, don't get me wrong I love Artie and I do miss him. But Howard is the draw for me and I can never get enough of him. I don't mind Robin, sometimes she pisses me off, but that's what she does. Fred is awesome to me and right now my favorite new person is Little Lupe.

[hbktonyb]

I don't think it is terrible by any means. I will always love Howard and what he does on the air. But I have been listening for a long time, since probably the mid-90's, and the years with Artie were the best years of Howard radio. I love the guy.

[CrashDMB237]

Thank god for Tracy Morgan today. Saved an awful week of shows. I could listen to him for 5 hours over Howard and Robin talking about the same shit over and over. I wish Jim Breuer would take that damn seat, the show would be amazing.

Tracy is always awesome!

I can't believe he had never heard Breuer's impression of him before :lol

We need to start breuerfortheartiechair.com ASAP :thumbsup

[hbktonyb]

Tracy is one guest I can hear over and over, along with Breuer.

[hbktonyb]

Mentioned Artie today...this doesn't sound good:

The caller also asked Howard if he retired and the show was about to end, does he think that Artie would come back to make a visit. Howard said he doesn't know about that. The guy wanted an over/under odds on that. Howard said he's not even sure how Artie is doing now. The caller said they could skip that.

My take - Howard really does know what is going on, but the family is trying to protect him and asked Howard to not mention anything on the air about him, and Howard doesn't even want to say that the family asked him to to say it. Howard seemed so off guard by the mention of Artie. weird.

does Gary mention the Artie thing in the book? Anyone wanna guess? It would make for riveting reading if Gary could provide behinds the scenes shit the weeks leading up to and after that stuff, simply in terms of Artie's behaviour and stuff since Gary visited him on a regular basis.

speaking of Tracy and I can't believe I forgot this. So in addition to seeing Jewel on HTV, I saw the bitch Tracy and JD hosting a show and they were (she was) blasting Scott the Engineer. I guess they had their own radio show at one point. Bitch or not, this was one of the funnier Howard segments of the year and if you have HTV, seek it out. Tracy can cut a promo better than 90 percent of the WWE wrestlers out there today. She ripped into Scott the engineer and his incompetence with such finese that's it's utterly hysterical. Just Gilbert Gotfried-funny stuff. Scott eventually calls into the show and the exchange of barbs is classic stuff. I'd love to see Artie and Tracy go to blows during a roast or something.

By the way, I saw an old Artie clip on HTV and after the show, they do that stupid feature where they interview the guest in the hall. They were interviewing Artie after the segment in the hall and he was going into the bathroom by the studio and you can clearly see one of those scales that you see in a doctor's office in the bathroom by the studio. It must be what they use for a prop on the show.

No chance in hell.

[FunkyTeaParty]

I know some people that know Artie and I will probably see some of them tonight. I will ask if they have heard from him.

Last time I asked (months ago) they said he has really gone underground. The family has really circled the wagons and rightfully so.

[jackisback24]

Marks Friggin saying that Steven Adler will be on the show soon and he's in NY next week.

Should be interesting to hear about the Guns and Roses days.

Sweet, let us know if you find out absolutely anything. PM if you must :)

Speaking of Artie, I would highly recommend "The Complete Artie Lange Addiction Saga"...I think I posted this already, but it is on all the torrent websites. I just finished part 1. It is a 6 part special put together by a fan with every Artie break down/call out sick/return/etc...It also includes commentary between each segment. It is better than any Sirius special I have heard, and is a must listen to for a Stern fan and especially an Artie fan. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=complete+artie+lange+addiction+saga&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=C0roWsq02TM-OOY7IigOr_NWbAQAAAKoEBU_QDaUF&cad=h

I will say this: If Howard does end the show, that last week he'll have a bunch of older players on, including Artie. It might just be an hour, it might be just a segment, but that last week I'll be a silver dollar Artie will be on in some capacity. Same for Sulu, Billy West, Jackie, Stamos and other fixtures. Similar to the last day at KROCK.

[hbktonyb]

With the total Artie blackout, I wouldn't be surprised if he ever returns at this point. He hasn't been seen, he is probably living in his mom's house and never leaves.

[junior94]

I'm only just now getting to see the HTV episode of Alexa Ray Joel. Goddamn. I remember seeing this little video profile of her on the news like I guess right when she was starting out with her own music career and thought, oh okay she's kinda of cute. She's looking BEYOND sexy now, with a killer beautiful smile.

[hbktonyb]

One of my favorite shows today, lots of Booey bashing, Booey songs, and they played Scenes from an Italian Booey Restaurant in full!!!

Doesn't do it for me. I look at her and see way too much of Billy in the face.

It's like how my buddy looks at Angelina Jolie and sees Jon Voight with puffy lips.

[jackisback24]

what happened w/Steve Brandando and Natalie Portman? Didn't hear the whole thing.

ok, I read on Marks Friggin that he ran across the street at Comic Con to ask her the questions. If this ever airs on HTV, can someone post it here? I would like to see that. Even if you don't post the vid, just a note that it's out there would be cool. Thanks.

I know this is gonna sound like an asshole thing to say, like I'm just trying to be cool, but I've looked Angelina Jolie right in the face (I used to work on the Sony lot in LA and I passed right by here in the hallway) and I didn't think she was the hottest thing going or anything like that, but that's just me.

[jackisback24]

do you think technology will get better so that if you drive under trees, you can still get Sirius? Or better yet, there is one universal station that you put your FM dial on (say 92.3FM for instance) and no matter what town or city you're in, you'll get clear reception? I live in Mass, use a station in Mass, it'll cut in and out sometimes, but then I'll drive 2 hours from my house to go to NH and get crystal clear reception. No lie. That just recently happened, actually.

The booey bashing was great. "I think I like it boff"

[hbktonyb]

I actually listened to a 7pm special last night, and it was great. It was an hour of the best Booey songs, plus Sal making fun of him with a few Booey clips. They should do specials like that all the time.

The only ones I really like/liked were the Booey special, History of Howard, and any time Riley Martin is on. The rest of the shows bore me.

You have to download the complete Artie Lange Addiction Saga if you want to hear the best special ever. Very depressing, but excellent.

[junior94]

Did any of you guys listen to the third Celebrity Superfan Roundtable that took place in May? (where Gary even joined in after awhile)

I've had the video DL'd for awhile but finally checked out a little last night, I'm just stunned by either how clueless they are, or how much of total ass kissers. Because they started off the show by pretty much all agreeing that the show as it's been lately is the greatest it's EVER been.

I mean is there a single person here who comes anywhere even close to agreeing with that? Granted the show's not "bad", but it's significantly off from its best days. My jaw just dropped when I watched them saying this.

(not to mention how freaky Jillian Grace's face has become... jesus woman, botox much? :ugh:lol

I don't know when that round table took place but I think there have been several Sirius moments that far exceed anything done on dinosaur radio.

d'oh!! :lol yes I meant Jillian Barberie, whoops. I noticed something was funky with her face immediately, before the camera even went in on a closeup of her. I'm assuming it's botox because she has this expressionless sort of look the whole time.

The roundtable, well like I said it took place in May. I mean yea obviously there have been lots of great moments on Sirius, but they're saying right now (or certainly in May) that overall the show is at its peak, and that's just insane to me. I have very little doubt that Howard won't resign and he's become fairly lazy in the home stretch here. Plus Robin's as much of an annoying cunt as she's ever been (and yea sometimes that can be great for the show, but plenty of times not).

[jackisback24]

I can't believe Robin doesn't know anything about the status of the future of the show.

Oh, and for you with HTV if you can find the clip of Artie Lange asleep on a bed and then he rolls off the bed onto the floor in the midst of Jon Hein giving his updates, it's worth going out of your way to see. Funny shiznit right there. It's like Buddy Hackett. Hackett was funny when he was out of control.

[jackisback24]

How was Steven Adler anyone? GNR were number 2 on Yahoo trending today so I was wondering if he mentioned anything about a reunion.

[CrashDMB237]

Adler was great. I loved watching him on Celebrity Rehab and Sober House. It just seemed like a big discussion about how many chicks he banged and with who. When they weren't talking about that, he was hilarious.

[hbktonyb]

I was not a fan of Adler, but it was because I really don't care about his life. I'm sure if I cared about him it would be considered a very good interview.

[jackisback24]

That would be funny if the Ants/EBAY story on the pop culture page made mainstream news and Robin covers it during her news section.

[CrashDMB237]

I don't want to blow the IQ results for everyone, but I'm not shocked about Richard. I had a pool going (no money, we aren't that sad) with two co-workers and Richard fell just where I slotted him.

It is better than any Sirius special I have heard, and is a must listen to for a Stern fan and especially an Artie fan. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=complete+artie+lange+addiction+saga&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=C0roWsq02TM-OOY7IigOr_NWbAQAAAKoEBU_QDaUF&cad=h

Downloaded and listened to about 2/3s and it is awesome! So tough to hear this all in one sitting but it is very telling. HIGHLY suggest for any Artie/Howard fan.

[HoldemHart]

are they in repeats?

It's Gay Week or something...today was very blah, only one segment was really funny (Artie getting hammered while getting a makeover for the Queer Eye guys)

[hbktonyb]

That Artie Queer Eye segment was hilarious. Howard has been taking this week vacation since KRock.

Some of the comments during the special is just amazing. "You haven't hit rock bottom"...its like they knew it was coming. The special is sad/funny/hearbreaking and really makes me miss Artie about a million times more.

[jackisback24]

Sulu + Artie = some of the best Stern moments. That Jonah segment with Artie cracking up brought the :lol.

Unless I have the original wording of the bet incorrect, I don't understand how it's a push between Ralph and Depace, he wins that. As much as I hate Depace, it's hard to say this, but I hate Ralph even more, so :p
But seriously it was "I'll beat you by at least 10 points", and Depace beat him by exactly 10 points, 122-112, so that falls under the umbrella of that statement. Depace wins the bet. I mean it's not like the rules of blackjack apply here, yea if you and the dealer both have 21, it's a push, but that's not at all what this is.


And I was ultimately not all that surprised with Richard either. See, Sal's just a straight up moron with no basic knowledge of anything. Richard I've always gotten the impression is deep down reasonably smart (certainly no idiot) but just the manner in which he lives his everyday life of being so disgusting in so many ways, you lose that notion about it. He willingly disregards basic things (like bathing, etc) because he's an idiot in that particular context, but not in basic intelligence.

I loved hearing Elephant boy today, good stuff.

[jackisback24]

not really a fan of gay week.

[hbktonyb]

Only one hour left on the Artie Lange Addiction Saga. Wow, I'm pretty much in tears. I feel so bad for the guy. A few observations.

Last week of December before vacation - Howard clearly states that Artie was not sick, he was asked to take some time off by management. He was going to meet with Tim. Howard really sounds like he was reflecting on on Artie's 9 year career, kind of like he already left the show. Howard also says that Artie did not look good in the studio. Robin says that his eyes were dialated. My thought is that Sirius told him to get help or else he was not allowed back to the show.

So Artie went through his depression phase, went back on H, and it got really bad to the point where Sirius could not allow him into work anymore unless he went to rehab. Right before the show was ready to come back from vacation, Artie realized that he was not going to be allowed to return because he never got the help, so he did a bunch more heroin. He was so depressed about everything, especially his job, that he decided to attempt suicide. Artie's mom found him. Howard feels an insane amount of guilt. The family asks Howard to keep it off the air, but he has to respond once the news breaks of the stabbing. Some people in Artie's life blame Howard and the show for Artie's problems. Artie's family will not allow Artie to be associated with the show anymore.

Howard felt so much guilt at first, then so much anger at Artie for putting him through the guilt, that he now decides he will act like Artie was never on the show.

Where it goes from here is anyones guess. If Artie ever gets better, I can see him finishing his 2nd book. I think, for the good of the show, if Howard re-signs, he would have Artie in as a guest only, never as a regular. Howard will never risk Artie falling off the wagon once again.

I, like everyone, hope he is doing better. The addiction saga is a must listen. Get better soon Art, we miss you!

I heard the bet too and it is classic. Stuttering John was there back then too. Artie stuff this week has been thumbs up and I think him and Sulu was magical radio times. I think in retrospect those were the best days.

Question: When John once said he'd fight Cabby, he'd put his 100k check into an LLC to avoid taxes. How does that work? Just curious.

Yeah it was some good stuff to listen to.

I am not sure that Cabby knew what exactly he was talking about. You still have to pay taxes in an LLC, you don't pay them upfront like on a normal paycheck but you do have to file quarterly tax returns. But I am not exactly sure how it works if he set up his LLC in a tax exempt state, which he may have.

Crash, any word if and when Stern announces his retirement? Have you heard anything?

Jason Bateman, Julia Roberts and Sly Stallone are in NY next week to promote movies. Stern is due to have an interesting, big-name guest soon.

The few people I still talk to from there think he's coming back, but I really don't even think HE knows at this point.

Who would you say are the biggest name guests he's had on?

Paul McCartney
Jerry Seinfeld
Julia Roberts
George Clooney
Robert Downey Jr.


I'm sure I'm missing plenty.

[hbktonyb]

He has said many times that he wants to work 3 days a week with summers off. That will be the deal.

[jackisback24]

He has said many times that he wants to work 3 days a week with summers off. That will be the deal.
The only way I see that happening is Sirius seriously scaling back his salary. To take a whole summer off is a bit ridiculous imo. Quite frankly, I still don't get the whole "he gets Fridays off but he's earned it" bullshit. Originally that was just going to be in the summers when Sirius first started and then became a permanent thing. It's BS.

George is the best. I wish he was a full timer but he's got Star Trek gigs to do :lol

[HoldemHart]

Rob Schneider was a damn fine guest today, I really enjoyed it.

[jackisback24]

Had a buddy give me some random HTV shows over the weekend. Watching a bunch of Artie stuff. The episode with Gary photocopying Howard's mail was funny and I felt so bad for Gary. The wheezing sounds made by Artie was a good one too.

[javierm27]

I loved when JD is in the studio, great stuff.

I liked Howards idea of Slut Club.

[jackisback24]

So I watched some more HTV stuff from the past year or so. I watched the Artie episode when he came back from the fight with Teddy and that was a good episode. Sarah Silverman really looked hot in her first appearance after breaking up with Kimmel. Not quite in Jewel's league but she looked good. Breur was very funny as was Gilbert. The repartee with Artie/Stern/Gilbert is always funny and def brings the l:lollz.

[javierm27]

Its about time Riley finally said something to Stern about needing more hours. :lol

I love when Riley gets angry.

[jackisback24]

I thought O'Connell's impression of Riley was good.

If Sour Shoes doesn't enter this contest and win then I'm going to consider it a fix.

I could listen to Howard talk about Imus all day, I love the passionate hate he has for that fuck.

Agreed, I love that guy.

no idea why celebs like Ralph but I'm starting to really enjoy the Wrap Up show. It used to be hit and miss but when it's on, I listen now.

[jackisback24]

while listening to the wrap up show, Ralph seemed to slip in indicating the show would be over in 5 months. Gary, Jon Hein and Ralph were talking inside about Ralph needing the show to be famous w/the celebs and they all talked around the idea that in 5 months they are going to need to find another outlet to do so in.

You gotta figure if he was coming back he'd announce it already so that Sirius could advertise and begin their Xmas push (well too early for that but at least announce a deal and then begin to push sales in the fall).

I'm guessing he's going to be leaving sirius although I think he'll be back in some form in the near future. My guess would be some sort of app for phones that would have a subscription. He talked about that a couple months ago and seemed really in to the idea.

I hope not. It's going to get to the point where I'll just my buddy d/l the TV show and that'll be it, except for posted snippets on youtube. I agree with Honky in that I like having the show in my every day life, as it's topical and usually funny, but it's one thing to go down from 5 days a week on free radio to 4 days a week on pay radio. Now to have a watered down version of that on an app forum, minus no Artie and the guests are few and far between, I dunno, I might be ready to say goodbye. Been listening since college a long time ago, but unless it's a cheaper service and can get the show on a frequent basis (maybe 3 or 4 days a week, not once or twice) then I don't know if an app service is worth it. The reason why you might be right is he'll brainstorm an idea on the air and drop it, like he mentioned Bubba the Love Sponge in endearing terms on KROQ long before he announced the deal on Sirius, but he never talked about it for a while. I guess time will tell.

Yea I was just thinking the other day that it's getting AWFULLY CLOSE (if not there already) to where, to be appropriate in so much as the rest of the staff being able to plan for their own futures, Howard really should now make up his mind once and for all. I mean if he seriously let's this go til only like one or two months left that's a pretty crap thing to do for everyone else.

Good thing DMB gave their staff some notice.:thumbsup:thumbsup

[jackisback24]

just saw the shortest ep of HTV ever. it was an episode where Gary took a pic of Howard and Kathy Griffin. The entire ep was about 10 minutes, no lie. At least put a couple of segments together to make 30 minutes.

[jackisback24]

So does the Dr. Laura topic open the show tomorrow?:rolleyes

[hbktonyb]

^I hope not.

[hbktonyb]

Today show was seriously hilarious..roast clips, Howard as his parents, making fun of pig virus, and Howard talking about baby wipes :lol

"Sometimes I do the brown dot test...I get a brown dot after 3 or 4...if I do I keep going. I clean with baby wipes until there are no remenints. I tug on my hairs with the baby wipes. Then I have sex with Beth and there is no odor...clean as a whistle" I'm in tears for some reason :lol :lol

[hbktonyb]

Holy shit :lol :lol Howard talking about India and the kid decapitating his mom "Who the hell vacations in India, India probably made the kid nuts. 'Excuse me, where is that special place where I can bathe in feces?'. Once the kid decapitated her those nuts in India probably worshipped the head"

:lol :lol

[HoldemHart]

I can't tell if he really doesn't want to come back or if this is just ongoing contract negotiations.

[hbktonyb]

I think he still wants to work, on an even more limited schedule, but he wants to make the same money, which Sirius does not want to pay him...

[HoldemHart]

I wouldn't mind if he left Sirius for another medium. I'm tired of Sirius and their ridiculous business practices.

[jackisback24]

I wouldn't mind if he left Sirius for another medium. I'm tired of Sirius and their ridiculous business practices.
seriously, I mean, pay extra for the internet stream of the show? Dr. Laura was 3rd topic I guess today.

The wiping segment was so fucking funny.

[hbktonyb]

:lol It really was. Then he starts asking Robin and she said she only uses toilet paper, so he wanted to blindfold himself and sniff.

[jackisback24]

my buddy d/l'd a bunch of stuff for me, including funny Artie moments, Breur, Gilbert and the monthly chicks. I dunno, some of those girls are hot and when they start talking lesbo or 3some stuff, it gets pretty good.:D:thumbsup:thumbsup

Sly was pretty good today. Surprised he came on.

Eric was awesome today. I hope he dresses like a bee, :lol. Wow!

[hbktonyb]

I love Sly, good interview.

Never get sick of ETM.

And once again, Artie's name comes up during the show and Howard doesn't even comment. So fuckin weird.

It is starting to become obvious that Howard and Artie have some kind of major riff between them. I mean I can understand Howard not talking about the situation because the family asked him not to, but why must Howard totally ignore that Artie was ever a part of the show??

[HoldemHart]

I think there's a lot of resentment from both sides going on.

[hbktonyb]

I think there's a lot of resentment from both sides going on.

Yup...Artie pissed that Sirius/Howard asked him to go get help in December and not to return until he gets the help he needs, and Howard pissed at Artie for making him feel guilty about the suicide attempt (opinion).

It is starting to become obvious that Howard and Artie have some kind of major riff between them. I mean I can understand Howard not talking about the situation because the family asked him not to, but why must Howard totally ignore that Artie was ever a part of the show??
I used to think this way too, not that I thought they had a riff, but thought it was weird that Howard wouldn't ask how the guy's doing and so forth. But I have to say, I recently watched the whole episode of HTV when Artie came back to the show after the fight with Teddy and they were off for 11 days and it was a riveting interview. Howard revealed a lot that day on not knowing what to do, should he even mention Artie's name on the air because he thought Artie might be set-off at the mere mention of something, so you could see he was being ultrasituation to Artie's mental condition, and Artie on-air thanked him for that (it was 11 days after the big fight and Artie went to Amsterdam). But for Artie fans, it's worth going out of your way and watching the dynamic between the 2 because Artie goes into the shit that Dana put up with when he was on drugs, the co-dependency wih Stacy, the mother and Artie (they showed a photo of Stacy during the mention and she is hot, by the way) and it really is compelling to watch and listen to, especially with everything that has happened.

[hbktonyb]

^Yup, all of that was on the Complete Artie Lange Addiction Saga...I think Artie's sister and mother have a lot to do with the reason we haven't heard anything from him in 8+ months. Artie feels guilty that his mother found him like that, so he will listen to anything the woman has to say. The family sort of blames Howard and the show for using Artie's crazy issues as a bit on the show...

[CrashDMB237]

I pray that this Jim Breuer in the studio thing happens more often than not. He's my top choice to get the Artie chair and I think him being a ridiculous impressionist will bring a whole new dimension back to the show that they haven't had since Billy West. FINALLY, something to listen to again!

I couldn't agree more.

The only thing better than Breuer would be Billy himself imo!

breuerfortheartiechair.com :lol

[hbktonyb]

I love Breuer for the Artie chair (if Artie is really never coming back :( ), but Jim has himself would have been way better than 4 hours of him as Pesci.

[hbktonyb]

Artie mentions on the show today:

The caller also asked if Artie is ever going to come back. Howard said he really doesn't know. He said he wishes him the best though. He said they all love him.

She said that she wondered if they feel bad about not intervening in Artie's downfall. Gary said he's not sure what she means by intervening. He said they did let people know what was going on with him. He said they weren't ignoring what was going on. There were a lot of people talking to him and people around him. Lilly asked if anyone has guilt. Jon said he feels bad about what happened and what Artie has gone through. He said he doesn't think that Artie wanted him to reach out to him. He said there's not much you can do when they don't want help. Jon said he misses Artie too.
Gary said he went out to a Yankee game with Artie and a couple of there guys. He said he had like 50 Jack Daniels shots before the 4th inning. Gary said he wanted to talk to Artie about something there and he brought up something that had happened on the shoe and Artie wanted to throw him out of the car. He said that he really didn't want to talk about that stuff outside of the show. Gary said he feels bad too but doesn't have any guilt

[jackisback24]

I love Breuer for the Artie chair (if Artie is really never coming back :( ), but Jim has himself would have been way better than 4 hours of him as Pesci.
yeah I agree, after 20 minutes of the Eric bit with Breur, I was missing Artie.

[CrashDMB237]

Gary said that Breuer and Takei are on the same level right now as in, oh, he might be good on the show for a week or a few days, let's bring him in.

[hbktonyb]

I don't think they'll ever fill Artie's chair until Artie clears the air with his fans.

[junior94]

Just on the general principle of it, I can kinda see what Howard was saying about the whole business of the writing of the foreword for Greg Fitzsimmons' book, particularly with how much on the "outside of the family" that GF is, so to speak, but really, listening to how much Howard was going ooooooon and on about how much it was bothering him, when you consider how overall the ridiculously insulated and charmed life that he's got at this point, it kinda made me wanna smack him.

It's like, he's less relateable to the audience as he's ever been, I think.

[hbktonyb]

If Howard is going to write a forward, it should be for Booey.

[junior94]

If Howard is going to write a forward, it should be for Booey.

Oh I totally agree, I mean hell it would be more fitting for him to do that than even having done Artie's. In fact the more I think of Fitzsimmons asking, it's kinda ridiculous, their connection really isn't that strong, like that's much more obviously a ploy just to boost sales.

But yea, still, you're like just about literally a prince at this point Howard, just shut the fuck up complaining about that shit :p

[hbktonyb]

I know...poor Howard, makes almost $50M a year and works 4 days per week for 9 months, can't write a little forward?? :lol but that's why I love him.

This week is a vacation week, so don't be surprised when he's not on tomorrow!

I agree totally. He just came off like a real ass for just writing a forward. The guy is a friend of the show and they appeared to have an understanding. Stern can be a douchebag at times. I remember when he talked down to David Faustino and Kevin Smith before like they weren't good enough guests to have on after having them on before and them being friends of the show. He can be kinda lame at times.

Lilly asked if anyone has guilt. Jon said he feels bad about what happened and what Artie has gone through. He said he doesn't think that Artie wanted him to reach out to him. He said there's not much you can do when they don't want help. Jon said he misses Artie too.
Gary said he went out to a Yankee game with Artie and a couple of there guys. He said he had like 50 Jack Daniels shots before the 4th inning. Gary said he wanted to talk to Artie about something there and he brought up something that had happened on the shoe and Artie wanted to throw him out of the car. He said that he really didn't want to talk about that stuff outside of the show. Gary said he feels bad too but doesn't have any guilt


It's not that I straight up blame Howard and say he deserves guilt for the Artie mess, but I don't think anyone can deny that there was a stretch that Howard was ultimately having the show's best interests at heart and that was at least partially in conflict with Artie's true best interests, encouraging the spiraling down behavior like falling asleep in the middle of the show and things like that because it was able to be made funny for how ridiculous it was.

It's great to hear a lot of Artie though.

This whole saga of Eric The Midget going back and forth of doing the Emmy red carpet thing or not, while this part itself is radio gold listening to this idiot, but the ironic thing is I've always found the whole asking celebrities strange questions thing very uninteresting. Whether it was Stuttering John or that Gary Garber(sp?) dude, I never found them very funny. Getting a reaction out of a celeb from asking a really crazy and impertinent question, meh... whatever.

Every one of these segments features Artie in some way. The bro segment was one of the best, Artie was very real.

Even though the Sal apology is an unbelievable bit, I don't believe for a second that he didnt know he was being taped. I think that whole thing was orchestrated.

Artie is fuckin hilarious :lol.

Artie "What if I marched in a girl who likes big geeky looking pelicans"
Howard "Fuck off go pop another one of those subutext"

Yeah I live right down the block from Artie's "old" apartment, according to people who live over there, he hasn't been back to that apartment all year. He probably doesn't want to go back because that is where he tried to committ suicide. Weird thing is that it is a tall building, right on the Hudson with a beautiful view of the city. He could have easily jumped if he absolutely wanted to go.

Also see Jason K all the time.

I was one of those "ingrateful" interns Grillo was talking about that night at the bar. He's a cock. He offered drinks and then backed right out because he couldn't keep his word. And fuck Ralph, I'm pretty sure I stuck up for interns the next week in the intern show. RALPH had the fucking nerve to say we were all spoiled brats... RALPH CIRELLA... who does absolutely nothing all day and works maybe 2 hours a WEEK total.

It was a bunch of interns from the semester before when I was at Howard TV so I didn't really know anyone. There was one chick who was on the show a lot, Scott's intern, I forget her name. But Grillo was more or less trying to look good in front of her.

Was Howard that stupid with the mail? I just watched, albeit rivting TV, but it was so stupid with Howard berating Gary and Will for not making copies of the mail. Howard said somthing like a Mad Magazine should go to Tracy and they can leave Howard a note. But a Jimmy Kimmel letter can go straight to Howard. Really weird conversation.

Mail all went to Tracy for the most part. I guess if there was something from someone that the show knows, it went to Gary. Every single piece of mail was copied. Luckily I only had to do that like once.

Holy shit I forgot how fucking insane of a day it was when Sheik came in :lol

Sheik smelled SO fucking bad. And I remember setting up the green room for the Artie, Sal and Richard characters. Bubba and his boys came in and took over. It was just a complete party zone in there for the rest of that day. Ugh, this makes me hate my current job even more.

My buddy and I agreed after watching that episode that Bubba was pretty much a buzzkill and came across as a douchebag overall. He knows some wrestling terms, sure, but the Sheik was being funny and that jackass Bubba the Lame Sponge just came across as a jackass.

I went from never hearing the full Artie vs Teddy fight to hearing twice this week (thanks to the Addiction Saga and today's Best of). It's some seriously amazing radio.

[hbktonyb]

I'm shocked they played the Sal/Artie fight, the Artie bro segment, and the Artie/Teddy fight especially - especially if Artie is still in a bad way. Is it possible he is starting to feel better?

Hearing Artie after the fight when he started to calm down, when he told Howard he loved him and said he wasn't a good person, really made me feel so sad for the guy :(

It is amazing how the "Best of Howard on Sirius" special seemed to really be the "Best of Artie" special.. Even the Baba Booey pitch is heavy with Artie banter.

I don't really think that Artie's feelings were considered before this special was aired. I find it hard to believe Artie currently listens to the show honestly.

[HoldemHart]

Howard reenacting his dad's reaction to Gary's pitch is probably a top 10 Stern moment for me.

[CrashDMB237]

Man, that Teddy thing was hard to listen to near the end. I felt so bad for Artie. He really is the nicest guy I've ever met. He doesn't mean to say half the shit he says or do half the shit he does. He's got problems and I really hope he's getting better. I really never liked Teddy at all, he was a douche to me. I dunno what went on with all of the money stuff, but I do know that the way Teddy acted towards Artie and about his job in general, Artie had every right to yell at him.

Interesting - Everybody that knows Artie says he is the nicest guy, god I hope he gets better and we hear from him again. He seriously made the show 1000X funnier. The Best of Sirius is the Best of Artie.

Great Artie line "I wish I would have played catch with Gary, because I would have told him not to throw the first pitch. I can't teach him to pitch but I can teach him to call out sick" :lol

[FunkyTeaParty]

This is great to listen to again.

And I always loved Artie. I don't care if he never performs again I just hope he finds some happiness.

Somebody just got voted out of Big Brother, and he said he "Baba Booeyed it" on live tv :lol

Yeah, I listened to it today and Teddy seems like a tard with the money stuff and hounding him for a raise and stuff. Leaving the passport stuff in the machine--come on.

But Howard did prod a bit to get the segment going as far as he could. I don't think he thought Artie would attack, but if this was Stern from 1992 I wonder if he'd be the "voice of reason."

I've never been able to stand Bubba. He's not the least bit funny, and he thinks he's like this more "average guy" version of Howard with how dirty he gets and stuff. I've just always found him annoying.

I finally finished the Addiction Saga. The last chapter is a tough listen. Howard being speechless about announcing Artie attempting suicide, the general uneasiness from everyone, and especially Lisa G breaking down in studio were hard to listen to.

[jackisback24]

I couldn't listen to the Teddy fight over the weekend. But the way they played Artie stuff, you'd think that he was returning to the show today with the buildup of his best stuff.

[javierm27]

Riley Martin was awesome today, its great to have him on again.

The Seinfeld call was a little surprising.

[hbktonyb]

Good to hear jerry and howard talking again. He used to be on the show all the time.

[javierm27]

That vibrator chick and Nick Manning need to make some magic happen.

[jackisback24]

I can't believe the whole morning went by yesterday and nobody posted about Seinfeld. I usually check this thread in the morning to see if something happened, as I only have the one radio in the car, and when noon came by and no one posted anything, I just thought it was "just another typical" show.

Good thing I had the show on when I went out to do errands. I put on the Wrap-Up show and when I heard Jon Hein say stuff about the Seinfeld call in, I pulled over. I then put it on 100 and they were building it up with Gary's mystery call.

I thought it was very cool in the sense I wanted to see how it would go, but I don't know, there wasn't anything "magical" about the interview. It was very cool that he called in and one of the better interviews of the year, mainly because everyone wanted to see what would happen, but Howard played it off like they talk all the time and it wasn't that big a deal. When Clooney came on the show, they played it up very big, but that probably was because it wasn't over the phone.

Howard also kinda revealed that he thinks he'll be w/Sirius when Jerry asked, but on a more limited basis, so one of the above posters was most likely correct with that assertion.

I am so goddamn sick of Robin lecturing everyone on what to eat and what not to eat. It's getting so damn old.

[FunkyTeaParty]

Robin is such a dummy too. I realize when you're on live radio you are bound to say something stupid every now and then, but she goes beyond. Does she even glance at her news before she reads it. How often does Howard ask her a follow up on a new story and not only does she not know the answer, but she can barely follow the question because bother to try and comprehend what she was reading?

Listen during the Sylvester Stallone interview. Sly adresses her at one point and I don't think she was there. About 30 seconds later she pops on with a totally inappropriate interjection and then joins in the conversation like she had been doing that the whole time.

Sometimes I can't believe I have listened religiously this long to a radio show that she is a major part of. I must really love Howard.

Shit, if they aren't going to fill the Artie chair with someone, they might as well fill it with Shuli. Whenever he's in studio I find myself laughing. He's really quick on his feet too, which is what you need in that chair. I know Howard said it once on the air, but I wish he'd follow through. SHULI FOR THE ARTIE CHAIR!
