Official Howard Stern Show discussion thread

[jackisback24]

No love for J.J.? Thought it was pretty cool. A cameo by Spielberg would've been ultra cool.

Bruins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hbktonyb]

Gary, lock the door. JJ, what is the island and the smoke? :lol

[HoldemHart]

Gary, lock the door. JJ, what is the island and the smoke? :lol

Line of the week.

[CrashDMB237]

Anyone else think this Claire Sinclair chick isn't all that hot? I mean, she is, but not Playboy hot.

[hbktonyb]

Terrible guests today. Nice booking Gary.

Hopefully there are some Artie segments on This Date tomorrow.

[thom hudson]

thought the abrams interview was pretty good...but howard is way too obsessed w/spielberg :lol

[hbktonyb]

Yeah Abrams was good.

[hbktonyb]

Live show today, shocking.

Anybody else not find that broadway stuff funny at all?

[thom hudson]

i'm still finishing up yesterday's show...fast food discussion made me hungry - those guys take that shit really seriously

also, since i've never heard it (other than the clips howard plays), i downloaded june 13th's black on black show - can't wait to listen.

You'll love it. You should download the other ones too.

Yeah that fast food discussion made me want to run to McDonalds :lol

Anyone catch Benji at the Weiner presser today? :lol

He screamed something like "Were you fully erect in those pictures? The people demand to know. Are you over 7 inches??" :lol :lol

I just caught a news story about this, just in a small part talking about the press conference it mentions Benjy's name as causing a stir. ugh... okay first of all I easily can't stand Benjy more so than any other single person associated with the show (I think even more than Ralph) and this is one of the general things I hate about the HS show. Just this whole concept of going to a public event like this, particular some type of news press conference, and basically being a heckler, it literally couldn't be less funny. No matter who was doing it, it's not even about Benjy, specifically. It's just so hackneyed and lame to do shit like this.

[hbktonyb]

Really? I think it is hilarious. I love when Benji randomly screams shit out during live news events.

Wow.....respectfully disagree. Not that I know with any certainty but I'm pretty sure we'd be amazed with how many of Howard's oneliners are Benji's. I fucking love the guy.

[jackisback24]

Does Stuttering John ever return to the show in any capacity? Even as a guest?

And what is Artie Lange doing these days? I mean, he was caught on the street months ago with some comedians, but is he doing anything?

[CrashDMB237]

Yes, yes you would.

Howard hates John for posting on facebook "Don't drink the kool-aid". I doubt he'll return.

No one has seen or heard from Artie. Gary said the last time he talked to him was December. So weird, miss the guy.

Yes, yes you would.

I feel like you can always tell the Benji lines. Howard does a little pause to read the note and puts it in his words. I think it is weird how he has Benji hand-write them. Why don't just use a chat service??

Passing physical notes has been happening since the Jackie days. I'm guessing Howard prefers it over the chat service (which the guys in the office use to pass info to Howard).

[jackisback24]

When does Stern write the 3rd book?

[hbktonyb]

With Stern's work ethic at this age, I'd say about a quarter to never. I'd much rather read a 2nd Artie book, I mean what is he going to write about...his rich life in the Hamptons with his model wife, $50 million house, apple products, Dancing with the Stars, Medicated Pete and the fact that Sirius owes him more than $100 million per year!?? :lol

Oh, if Ryder writes the forward, you're buying it.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there.

[jackisback24]

Did Clarence ever date Robin? Was he ever on the show? Did Stern say anything about him yet?

[thom hudson]

that alex bennett segment was weaksauce...both he and howard pussied out when confronting each other

[alphabets]

agreed. when he went down there i thought it might end up being one of the top 5 best moments in howard history...i was thinking this is going to be unbelievable...and i was wrong :shrug

[hbktonyb]

Howard doesn't have the ability to have an old school confrontation anymore. Sad.

[thom hudson]

sal & richard car show prank call was hilarious

"what's the best size trunk to hide a little boy bleeding from the ass?"

[javierm27]

Steve Langford talking about Sour Shoes place was hilarious, I can't imagine Sour playing with toy soldiers on the ground.

now that was funny:lol

[javierm27]

I don't think they ever dated. He has been on the show and they were reairing his most recent interview yesterday on H101. They had a segment on the show about him too.

[hbktonyb]

Didn't listen much today, but Ben Stern is radio gold.

[thom hudson]

lol @ lisa g getting dumped by wayne segal after 1 date

she seems super annoying

[nkc8246]

Didn't listen much today, but Ben Stern is radio gold.

He is so awesome!

Howard: "Dad, did you feel Moms breasts before you were married?"

Ben: "Well of course...How do you think you got here!" :lol

[jackisback24]

I'm going to go out on a wacky crazy limb and say that Tom Hanks does the Stern show next week. I mean, he's been everywhere promoting this new movie Larry Crowne (including Telemundo--see TMZ---might be Univision) and then he was once interviewed by Stuttering John and seemed to be a fan and now he's in NY this upcoming week for talk shows (Letterman, Stewart, etc.). I don't know.....wouldn't shock me if on Tuesday he shows up.

Someone ask him on twitter (does Stern still do twitter?).

[junior94]

I wouldn't be surprised if Vinny Favali was incorrectly reporting on the size of his kidney stone. He said 1 inch across, I highly doubt that. I've had stones many times, I don't believe I've EVER heard of one anywhere close to that big. Even a 1cm stone is considered on the large size and likely wouldn't pass without some kind of intervention. I'm guessing he meant it was 1cm.

[hbktonyb]

I would be pretty shocked if Hanks went on Stern. Lazy Booey would rather book Joan Rivers.

[jackisback24]

Why don't we create a contest to see what the next A-lister appears on Stern. It can be borderline B plus lister but a household name. Ricky Gervais would be a B lister, for instance. Hanks, Leo, Affleck would be A-lister. We can pretty much figure it out.

I'm going with Hanks.

[hbktonyb]

Lady Gaga.

Just bought They Call Me Baba Booey paperback. Started with the extra chapter on Artie. Wonder if Lange approved Gary writing that.

What did Gary say?

JackisBack24 Tom Hanks
HBKTonyB Lady Gaga

[hbktonyb]

Basically he told the whole story when they went to Afghanastan (sp?). How Artie was crazy to deal with, and how he started a big fight with Gary and how Gary never looked at Artie the same way again. He said he felt like it was like a friend who gets drunk and tells you how they really think. But then he said that Artie apologized. Thought it was interesting that he went into detail about an Artie drug story like that.

[javierm27]

Stern was on fire this morning. I loved his ranting and raving on people that talk about creationism vs. evolution.

[javierm27]

Octomom is going to be on the show this week, hahaha.

[hbktonyb]

Yeah good show today. A pissed off Howchie is good.

[jackisback24]

Cmon. Hanks. Show up. Mystery Guest!

[hbktonyb]

Artie or bust.

[javierm27]

Octomom was actually a good interview, Howard was working his magic with her. I still think shes nuts but I enjoyed the interview more than I thought I would.

[javierm27]

Black on black show tonight from 8-10 est.

[hbktonyb]

Sounds like Big Black won't be on tonight, but the King will be! :bounce

Best show

[hbktonyb]

Actually the news just said that Big Black would be on, so who knows. I thought Howard said earlier that it was just King.

[javierm27]

Actually the news just said that Big Black would be on, so who knows. I thought Howard said earlier that it was just King.

King called in earlier and said they would be on, but now I am not sure if its both of just King. Either way, I am fine, looking forward to listening to it. King is trying to set up his cousin with Robin, that was part of the reason why he called in this morning.

[hbktonyb]

Yeah King was awesome this morning as always. But I wanted to hear his view on God. Hopefully he talks about it tonight.

Line of the show - Is your cousin a street sweeper on Wall Street?
King - No, he's not Mexican. :lol :lol

Yeah that was pretty hilarious, I love that guy. He always makes me laugh when he's on.

Stern going off on Glen Beck was awesome today, I was crying. :lol

[hbktonyb]

Yeah funny shows this week. Howard was on.

King tweets me back all the time. Said he will share his views on God tonight. Holla.

[hbktonyb]

That was hilarious. Line of the show - I imagine it is another woman when I'm eating my wife out :lol

[hbktonyb]

I like Evil Dave.

[javierm27]

Black on Black is one of my new favorite shows, man that was great last night.

Good show today so far, great interview with Harvey Levin.

[hbktonyb]

Black on Black could seriously be a daily show with a little fine tuning and practice from King and BB. Every topic is interesting because of their delivery. Great job.

[javierm27]

Agree, I know I would listen to it if it followed Stern or something like that.

Great shows all week, Howie was on a roll this week with his rants.

Ronnie cracks me up though, its funny that he doesn't get what they are telling him. It may be a schtick, but I love it. LETS FUCK SOME WHORES!!!

[hbktonyb]

Yeah this week was a very good Stern week. Howard was on.

[CrashDMB237]

Nice! My old Ronnie's block party segment got reference on yesterday's show! Fucking amazing how Ronnie never sees a problem with what he does with these female interns.

[hbktonyb]

Whatta you know motha fucka?? Yeahhhhhhh.

[hbktonyb]

Howchie probably gone for 2 weeks.

STRAIGHT FROM NICK DIPAOLO'S FACEBOOK.....

Nick DiPaolo
UPDATED: Tonight 10pm ET, Nick Di Paolo and Artie Lange make their radio return guest hosting on Fox Sports Radio.

What does this mean? Artie's healthy? He wants back on radio? Will he mention the suicide, will he talk about his relationship with the Stern Show? Why isn't his first radio appearance on Stern? Will they take callers?

ARTIEEEE FIYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!~

wow...very interesting...i would love at least a interview w howard.

[hbktonyb]

Even more interesting - Supposedly nick has done this show before and has taken a ton of calls. Will we finally find out what has been going on with Artie?

I think this pretty much confirms Howard is completely done with him. Time for the Artie comeback!

[junior94]

Nice! My old Ronnie's block party segment got reference on yesterday's show! Fucking amazing how Ronnie never sees a problem with what he does with these female interns.

God he really just is the epitome of creepy old guy, so desperate to come off as this gruff, bad ass tough guy :rolleyes Yea this girl of his is obviously cute, but if she was available you couldn't pay me to go out with her, not if any part of her has wanted to be Ronnie's girlfriend :lol

[hbktonyb]

Artie!!!! Sounds GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hbktonyb]

That's so 3 years ago :lol

Holy shit it's the old Artie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hbktonyb]

Update - They announce a live call in number.

Nick introduces him as from film and television, and says he has some experience with radio. NO mention of Howard...

[hbktonyb]

Bullshitting about a bunch of shit. Deli's in the Bronx, he was in rehab in the South, he quit drinking, Yankees....

Artie sounds so good, it officially boggles my mind how he has not been on Stern. I guess Howard really hates him.

[hbktonyb]

...aaaaaaaaand, the first heroin reference, about someone else.

[hbktonyb]

And the only site I could have an Artie conversation chat is crashed. Fuck.

Yea all in all I think it's pretty lame how Howard has handled this. And, I never thought I'd say it, but overall I think the show has suffered since. With no Artie it seems it too often devolves into just Howard and Robin conversing, I just reeeeeally can not stand her :lol

I don't see why Howard can't even just have him back for one isolated appearance to talk, it seems like Howard's totally against the idea of Artie coming back to be a show member, but that Artie's never indicated he at all wants that.

[hbktonyb]

The show has suffered tremendously. It just isn't that funny anymore. Howard is more interested in talking about photography, Apple and Idol.

[jackisback24]

link please.

Yea I'm not even collecting all that many HTV episodes anymore. I look over the descriptions and I find I'm getting them not nearly as frequently as I used to. And the segments that introduce the new monthly HTV girl, well I've still been getting each one I suppose more for the "complete set" aspect of it, but I literally haven't even really watched one that I've gotten in several months (besides watching like just a minute to get an idea of what the girl looks like, so many times anymore part of it is usually Ronnie being uber-creepy in having the girls try on different bikinis). This is the least interested I've been in the show as a whole since the move to Sirius, I think.


and btw I wouldn't be surprised if Artie lost a ton of weight while going thru all that he did, if he was back to at least how he looked in Beer League.

[jackisback24]

peace and love!

[hbktonyb]

Artie feels like he is going to pass out - no air conditioning. He is drinking a milk shake :lol

And the first caller asks him a Jeter question. Pussy.

[hbktonyb]

I can't get over how awesome it is to just hear this guy bullshit and joke again.

If Howard refuses to have him back, Artie should have get his own show. Guarantee it will be funnier than 2010-11 Howard shows...

[jackisback24]

quick question: I have a portable Sirius in my old truck. My truck died. When and if I switch cars and move the portable Sirius to my next car (which will be a used old car) do I call Sirius and have to tell them info about my next car for it to work or do I just rig the wires and I'll be good to go? I forgot but thought I might have to give some type of VIN or numbers off the car for them to register it.

I'm an Artie mark as well and was just thinking about him earlier today, but there are a lot of legalities and shit that Howard went through and he's not in a good place. Honestly, I don't know if I'd bring him back simply because of all the drugs and suicide bullshit. I think he scared Stern. He brings so much to the show, but what happens if he comes back and does live club shows, dies on the road while on Howards watch, so to speak? It's not an easy position for him.

[jackisback24]

these promos and bumpers take forever.

Thank goodness they're back.

Yeah I hear ya. It just sucks being a 15+ year fan and hearing what the show has become. I'm such a huge Artie fan, just want to see him be healthy and back doing something.

Maybe Artie will do stuff like this until Howchie realizes he is healthy again!

maybe guest host Raw?

^:lol :lol

[hbktonyb]

Goose Gossage on the air now.

Side story - I drove Goose from the airport to his hotel once in my car. My friend has a sports business and he was the guest speaker, so I picked him up. Coolest dude ever.

[hbktonyb]

More comments -
Artie says heroin preserves your memory. He was joking but said he is not fuzzy at all.
Artie knows every world series 2 teams from 1950-2000 and who won, and in how many games. Amazing.

[hbktonyb]

I like Nick but he is not a host. Artie is doing great as the co-host but Nick is sometimes interrupting the flow.

[hbktonyb]

These calls have to be set up. Nobody is asking Artie a thing about anything :lol It's crazy.

[hbktonyb]

Ok they may be just cutting out questions.

[hbktonyb]

Wow, very telling. Someone just cursed, so they cut him. Artie says "Unfortunately, this isn't Sirius."

Next caller says he wishes he would go back to the show.

Artie - "Look, that would be the greatest thing to ever happen to me. I was on the greatest show in the world and I put them all in a very awkward situation. I love them all, and we'll see"....

Wow, I'm sad :(

[hbktonyb]

http://yfrog.com/kkaslsyj
Picture of Artie.

Artie was at Ambrosia in Florida. He said they did an incredible job. He really looks great.

[hbktonyb]

Says he completely stopped gambling.

[hbktonyb]

Nick - "If we ever get a show on here...". Sounds like they talked about it. Artie really wants back into radio!~.

Told ya! I mean okay maybe he's not back to Beer League yet (well, kinda hard to tell from his posture in the seat there) but he's most definitely loads better than at the end of Sirius.

[hbktonyb]

Oh, so much better.

[hbktonyb]

To hear him tell stories while he is completely sober is freakin great. And just listening to him, you can tell he is back to telling the truth, not telling his lying heroin stories.

[hbktonyb]

http://punchlinemagazine.com/blog/2011/07/live-blog-artie-lange-makes-his-return-to-radio

Another blog, basically same shit I was saying.

[hbktonyb]

Caller asks if Gary can throw a football :lol

Artie gives Gary the benefit of the doubt, saying the pressure was too much for him. A kinder, gentler Artie :)

[hbktonyb]

Artie confirms he is writing a 2nd book. And that he only scratched the surface on the stories.

He thanks Nick and the show ends.

[hbktonyb]

Artie in the NY Times.

even if it can't be artie...someone has to fill that chair. it feels like something is missing from the show without someone else there. the best shows are when guest are in for the week or whatever. i would love to see david arquette take the seat for good. he's funny and a huge fan of the show.

:thumbsup

If they refuse to have Artie, let him do his own show and fill the chair. Somebody will freshen it up and make it funny again.

[hbktonyb]

TMZ picked it up, of course.

[HoldemHart]

So great to hear Artie on the air again, it's a shame it's with the douchebag though.

[CrashDMB237]

Am I crazy or did someone post a clip of Artie ragging on Miss Howard Stern's daughter's name here recently? If so, where the hell is it?!

[FunkyTeaParty]

I just listened to the show. It was great. Thanks for the heads up in here.

[hbktonyb]

Anytime. The live blogging was fun :lol

Langford just reported it on H100 news. Played clips and ended it with... "Now what?"

^:lol I try.

[HoldemHart]

At what point does he start discussing the Stern show? Don't have time to listen to the whole thing.

[hbktonyb]

Honestly if you listen to that Langford news story, you will hear his only statement on the Stern show. That news story is only a couple of minutes.

[javierm27]

Are they back on Monday? I wonder if Stern is going to address the Artie situation.

[HoldemHart]

Are they back on Monday? I wonder if Stern is going to address the Artie situation.

Considering Howard 100 News did a story on it, I don't see how they cant'

[jackisback24]

I fell asleep right after Goose was on. Did Artie address what happened with the suicide attempt? That whole thing is just mind boggling and I'm sure he'll save some of that stuff for the book. But he has so much to say----shit I have to get a car now so I can hear the show, esp if Artie comes on. Maybe put Artie on a 3 month probation thing. I mean the show is only on 3 days a week anyway.

[hbktonyb]

Nope Artie didn't address it.

They aren't back until next Monday.

[CrashDMB237]

Am I crazy or did someone post a clip of Artie ragging on Miss Howard Stern's daughter's name here recently? If so, where the hell is it?!

Anyone? I need some good Artie.

[hbktonyb]

Not sure about that clip. Doesn't sound familiar.

[jackisback24]

They should do a Best Of Artie DVD, really. Not sure if they have or can, but I would buy it. Stuff from Vegas and the regular Stern show. That clip where he fell asleep and rolled off the bed while Jon Hein was reading the Wrap-Up Show Preview had me in stitches.

If you really want to get pissed, take a look at Howard's schedule for the rest of the year.

This is pretty impossible to defend.

Just call and threaten to quit, you'll get a couple months free.

I saw that on SFN, is that fake or real?

Because I remember one day a couple weeks ago he asked Gary if he knows which weeks are 4 days and which are 3. But the vacation weeks are legit. He always takes 2 weeks in July, 2 in August, 1 in October, 1 for Thanksgiving, and 2 for Xmas.

God I hope it's fake, that would mean something like 55 shows for the rest of the year.

[CrashDMB237]

So it's basically three day weeks from now til the end of the year with their normal vacation schedule. I wouldn't be shocked if that were real at all. He really should have just called it quits. The show has been crap and he's not even going to be on the air live anymore which means we'll be subjected to more intern weeks and peacock years.

[hbktonyb]

The one thing I am enjoying is Stern Show Shuffle. Lots of good segments mixed it.

I could really piss you guys off. This is what our Howard has become, and it makes me sad :(. Artie would have a field day with this. BRING HIM BACK!

http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2011/07/howard_sterns_hidden_talent_revealed.php

[CrashDMB237]

Wow Howard looks like shit in that interview. The hat is not a good look... way to go Ralph.

[hbktonyb]

Horribly dressed, and just a pathetic interview. He has become what he used to hate.

[jackisback24]

Artie will do the Stern show to promote the 2nd book, I'll bet.

[jackisback24]

so for those of you w/portable Sirius radios, can you really take your portable antenea and plug and base and just go in anyone's car with that, hook it up and listen that way?

I post this link with a tear in my eye, for many reasons. Would love to hear Art again and just hope everyone is happy and healthy.

[CrashDMB237]

So how the fuck do you get Fox Sports Radio in the NY area? I live 20 minutes from where Dan Patrick broadcasts and I've never heard his show on the radio.

That's great news for Artie. Does anyone get the feeling that Nick is kinda riding Artie's coattails on this?

More Artie...

[hbktonyb]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W2XbccKO44

Black on Black was live last night. Awesome. "I heard you can get prostate cancer from not getting pussy" :lol :lol

[hbktonyb]

"I let her sit on my face, use my face as toilet paper" :lol :lol King is the funniest dude EVER!

[hbktonyb]

Artie about to join Dan Patrick...

www.danpatrick.com

I'll post the highlights in here.

[HoldemHart]

Artie is about to get on Dan Patrick's show.

[hbktonyb]

Artie is about to get on Dan Patrick's show.

Nice timing :lol

[hbktonyb]

This will be interesting, because it is an interview. I'm wondering if Howard refuses to interview him, because Artie for sure would give Howard the exclusive...

[hbktonyb]

"I've been good lately"...

[hbktonyb]

Feels like a new person, feels fantastic.

Got to a point where it is either change his life or move to Alaska.

Really wants to get back into radio, he loves it so much.

Feels like transitioning to a sports related comedy show will be pretty smooth. Loves old school sports.

Artie's biggest bet, when he was gambling - $25K on Tyson for the Tyson/Holyfield fight.

[hbktonyb]

No deal yet for Sports Talk radio show. He is talking to people about both a radio and tv deal, but it would start up as just radio.

Misses the Howard Stern show MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD...wow. Misses having so much fun on the air.

"I blew it because of my lifestyle". Biggest regret was not taking the steps to make me better 10 years ago.

Artie would love to go back in a second. He would "vacuum" the studio, lol. They have apprehensions about having him back.

When Howard feels the time is right maybe he'll go back, but he understands why they don't want him back.

Howard called him a bunch of times while he was going through his ordeal. They have both reached out to each other.

[HoldemHart]

You've got a career at marksfriggin ahead of you.

[hbktonyb]

Artie decided he wanted to stick around for a while so that's why he cleaned up.

Pretty much confirmed that it is Howard keeping him off the show. Ugh.

[hbktonyb]

He also mentioned that the only thing that felt like work to him was waking up early. While at work he had a blast.

Dan Patrick loves hearing Artie's laugh. Dan said he's gone through an awful lot and there are quite a few stories, thinks him and Nick would be great together.

Show is ending. Now for my thoughts. It was great to hear from Artie that Howard called him a bunch of times. At least it shows that Howard isn't a complete robot. Seems like if it was up to Artie he would go back to the show immediately. Def. Howard keeping him out. On one hand I understand because Artie was so fucked up, what if it happens again? What if being back in the studio waking up early sends Artie back into his old habits?

On the other hand, the show really needs Artie. Who knows, maybe Artie needs to get back on the radio for a year or so to prove to Howard that he is completely clean and ready to go back to the show. It's a shame because Artie and Howard were literally a perfect radio pair.

[hbktonyb]

Also think it is obvious that Artie is holding the whole story for something, whether it is his own show, the book, or Howard. Hasn't talked about much from the last year and a half that he was silent. Just so good to hear him again, sounding better than ever.

[hbktonyb]

http://www.tmz.com/2011/07/15/artie-lange-howard-stern-interview-dan-patrick-show-phone-call-psych-ward-audio/

Artie on TMZ FIYA! Makes me really sad to hear how bad Artie wants back :(

[CrashDMB237]

It's going to be very interesting to hear how Howard responds to this on Monday. There's no way he can ignore it. I understand especially from a neurotic like Stern why he wouldn't want Artie back. I remember reading Artie's mom and sister blamed the show for Artie's condition and attempted suicide saying he felt pressured to keep up that lifestyle for the show. I hope he at least comes back for an interview, but my god would the show increase ten fold if Artie got his chair back. Part of me thinks this sports show rumor is to put the pressure on Howard a little bit, but I don't think he'll bend.

[hbktonyb]

Yup, well Artie put it all on Howard, saying things like "I miss it more than anything in the world", and "Returning to that show would be the greatest thing ever". Here is what I think happens around the 7 a.m. hour.

Caller: Hey, did you hear about Artie returning to radio?
Howard: Yes, I did.
Robin: Yes! I heard about that.
Howard: Look, I'm so happy to hear Artie is better and healthy. I wish him the best and that's it, I don't know what else to say about it.
Robin: Good to hear from Artie again.
Howard: Let's hope he stays clean and happy. Anything else Robin?

Seriously I wonder if he even dresses the things that Artie specifically said about returning...

[jackisback24]

I agree, Honky that it will take a caller to bring up Artie. I just don't see him doing it randomly. Stern will talk about vacation, JLo and Marc Anthony and Rupert Murdoch before Artie. It might be a good idea that Artie does a year in radio to show he's clean. I think he should have a segment on Norm's sports comedy show on CC to show he's back and clean.

[hbktonyb]

Don't forget photography!

The most telling thing Artie said is that he would vacuum the studio if they asked. Howard needs to address his comments specifically, but Hamptons Howie wouldn't dare.

[jackisback24]

What does that mean anyway about vacuuming.

[hbktonyb]

Well it was basically Artie just saying it would literally do anything to prove he is ok to get back on the show, including cleaning the studio.

[jackisback24]

Well it was basically Artie just saying it would literally do anything to prove he is ok to get back on the show, including cleaning the studio.
oh, I thought it either meant the place was a pig sty or he dropped some drugs there.:lol

[hbktonyb]

Hahaha :lol

We want Artie!

[jackisback24]

Hey by the way I guess Ryder, Otunga and McGuillicuddy are going to be packaged as a heel group with a push.

[hbktonyb]

The heel part is dumb. Ryder should be a face.

[jackisback24]

The heel part is dumb. Ryder should be a face.
you watching tomorrow?

[HoldemHart]

Wow...Robin has dominated this Lady Gaga interview.

[HoldemHart]

Say what you will about Lady Gaga but that interview/performance was pretty god damn good.

[hbktonyb]

I like Gaga and thought that was unbelievable.

As for the Artie discussion, that was plain awkward. He played the clips and talked about it but didn't really respond to it. Damn Howard.

[hbktonyb]

And Robin pretty much completely ruined it. Shut the fuck up during Gaga! And Howard is talking about Artie and Robin interrupts and says she almost drowned and they stop talking about Artie. Christ.

[alphabets]

yes, for a long-time now Robin has been ruining interviews with her mouth.

I am thinking of getting rid of sirius on another note. all i listen to is Stern and it's just not worth it. I will still be able to listen to Stern through podcasts....just not live. a few hours behind. it will be like listening to the west coast feed on the east. hahaha.

[HoldemHart]

And Robin pretty much completely ruined it. Shut the fuck up during Gaga! And Howard is talking about Artie and Robin interrupts and says she almost drowned and they stop talking about Artie. Christ.

I'm certain that was Howard's idea.

[hbktonyb]

^Probably.

And how dumb is Booey marching in gay guys just because Gaga is there. Fuckin idiot.

[hbktonyb]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtKmgXTkI9w

Here is Howard's quick talk about Artie. Doesn't answer a thing.

[hbktonyb]

I am re-listening to Gaga now. Wow it was better than I thought. And her voice is incredible.

[jackisback24]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6LmoRT2Ckc

[FunkyTeaParty]

I love how some of her fans are irate with Howard over some light criticism he gave her. You're too close....step back.

[jackisback24]

http://www.tmz.com/2011/07/18/howard-stern-show-artie-lange-return-sirius-radio-baba-booey/

[hbktonyb]

TMZ is all over this story. They don't even mention Artie's suicide attempt.

Way to go Howard for not answering shit.

[jackisback24]

listening to the Gaga interview. For all her success and being young, she's a humble lady with a nice voice. I realize there are some Madonna comparisons but she's quite good on her own.

[hbktonyb]

She's unbelievable. That was one of the best in-studio performances ever...at least up there with when the Crows did Round Here.

[jackisback24]

She's unbelievable. That was one of the best in-studio performances ever...at least up there with when the Crows did Round Here.
Everlong, Foos too.

[hbktonyb]

Agreed with above. Oh and Billy Joel's interview was incredible when he was playing all those songs.

[DMBCubs25]

How's the show been so far this summer? Haven't gotten a chance to listen as often as I would like.

[hbktonyb]

How's the show been so far this summer? Haven't gotten a chance to listen as often as I would like.

Pretty terrible :lol Unless you like endless talk of photography.

But today was good.

[jackisback24]

But today was good.
and guess what song, Honky that Fred will use tomorrow.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6LmoRT2Ckc

[jackisback24]

so she thought of this song while her grandfather was passing away??? With those lyrics???????? I'm missing something...help me someone.

[jackisback24]

went back and listened. Makes more sense now.:lol:lol:lol

[FunkyTeaParty]

It actually turns into a really sad fucking song when you know what it's about.

[hbktonyb]

Yeah I think her stories really made that song so much better for me. Incredible.

I could actually see Howard playing both songs during the main show tomorrow. I hope he does.

[javierm27]

Great fuckin interview today, awesome guest. I love how Howard pretty much avoided the whole Artie situation and of course Robin quickly comes in to change the subject.

[CrashDMB237]

Great Gaga interview (and I REALLY dislike her) and good performance too. It kills me going back and watching all those vids of her pre-Gaga and then hearing her do this solo stuff with just a piano. She's so fucking pure, why did she have to ruin it? Oh well, either way, awesome interview. If there's one thing Howard can still do it's interview people. Still doesn't touch the Billy Joel segment though.

Howard doesn't know what to do in the Artie situation and it's very clear. He kept trying to say he wished Artie success, only talked about the bad parts of Artie being on the show, cracked jokes about him, then ended it by saying he loved him. That's Howard's way of saying "thanks but no thanks" to Artie basically begging for his job back. And part of me thinks it's an ego thing too. Very unfortunate. That show was at it's all time best with Artie in the chair.

did you ever see him f'ed up while there?

[CrashDMB237]

It was hard to tell really, like Howard always says. Some days he was noticeably... slower? He'd try to ignore people a lot and be shady during breaks with phone calls and stuff. One time we were getting food and he fell asleep standing up on the escalator :lol

Edit: The above is when I think he was fucked up. Any other day he was the nicest human being there. Always willing to strike up convo even with the low men like me.

:thumbsup That's why I've been so negative lately. Artie years were my favorite, and now it just lacks comedy.

[javierm27]

I loved that tradio call yesterday, that host didn't know how to react.

Did you guys catch Sals summary on the news about his trip to Europe over the break? He was making me laugh, I loved what he said about the french.

[javierm27]

That was probably the worst girl of the month ever, horrible interview. She wouldn't talk at all and of course Ronnie is the one that picked her.

[hbktonyb]

I pray every month that they will stop with this girl of the month segment. Horrid.

[javierm27]

I pray every month that they will stop with this girl of the month segment. Horrid.

Yeah I think they may take a second look at that after this one, man that was just brutal to listen to. All she gave Howard was one word answers, :lol I blame Ronnie!!!

[hbktonyb]

I actually had to turn the show off today. Howard's rant about Sirius, Lisa G covering Ronnie and Scott setting up Lady Gaga. Who the F cares?? There is something missing - Howard is not ripping his staff members like he used to!

so other than Monday, just that one good show for the week? Geesh, why keep the sub? I wouldn't be shocked if Sabian gets Artie a show. Just sayin. BTW, is Jackie still on the air?

[hbktonyb]

Yup, unfortunately only 1 good show this week.

I still wouldn't get rid of the sub., it's like a crazy addiction.

[jackisback24]

Yup, unfortunately only 1 good show this week.

I still wouldn't get rid of the sub., it's like a crazy addiction.
Artie!!!

[hbktonyb]

The only way I would cancel is if Artie had a morning show on another medium.

[CrashDMB237]

Wait a minute... Steve Langford quit?! When did I miss this?? Jeff the Drunk just tweeted it but I can't find anything on it so it may not actually be true.

[jackisback24]

Wait a minute... Steve Langford quit?! When did I miss this?? Jeff the Drunk just tweeted it but I can't find anything on it so it may not actually be true.
Jeff, the guy who was supposed to work for the WWE?

Does the Alien guy still have a show? They need to give Artie a trial show for a year to see if he can stay clean.

[hbktonyb]

According to SFN, Langford's brother tweeted that he quit. No idea what is going on...but Shuli and Lisa were the news people this week. Hmmmmmm........

[CrashDMB237]

It seems like he did quit. His brother said he has a new job in NY radio. I can't believe Langford was even there in the first place. If this means more Shuli, I like it.

[hbktonyb]

As long as Shuli is not in the Artie chair. I can't stand more than 2 minutes of that clown.

[CrashDMB237]

I would put Shuli in the Artie chair in a second. His prepared material isn't that great, but in the flow of a conversation he has some great one-liners. My top candidate (other than Artie of course) is still Breuer. I think he's god damn hilarious and a perfect fit for that role.

[hbktonyb]

I guess Shuli can't make it any worse, right? :lol Agreed on Breuer.

[javierm27]

Listened to some of the show today, Howard talking about the Sirius situation had me crying, he was on fiiirrrrreeee with his rants. Also that Love My Niggas song was hilarious during the news. I missed the Bree Olson interview.

[hbktonyb]

So let me get this straight. After a 2-week vacation, this week is a 3 day workweek, and they can't come up with something better than replaying the Monday show today? I understand the Gaga spot was great, but they will be playing Gaga all day tomorrow on best of the week. Holy lazy.

[hbktonyb]

101 has this date on. Artie!! Good segment Andrea bs Wendy trivia

[HoldemHart]

Artie is writing another book entitled "Crash and Burn" per Marksfriggin.

[CrashDMB237]

Dunno if you guys heard it but Shuli interviewed Artie for the news and he announced his show with Nick got picked up by Fox Sports Radio. It will start in Sept. I'll be listening.

[HoldemHart]

I'm not sure if I'm the last person realizing this but Steve Langford is no longer with Howard 100/101. Hoping Howard will discuss it next week.

[hbktonyb]

Sweet any other noteworthy Artie news?

[jackisback24]

Did Amy Winehouse appear on Stern? Very sad.

[hbktonyb]

King of all Blacks on tomorrow with his cousin! Plus a new Black on Black tomorrow night. Yessssssssss, love that guy.

Listened to the whole Artie appearance on that podcast. It was mentioned that Artie is saving the full story for Howard's show, but unfortunately no one knows when that will be. He said he was in like 3 rehabs and 2 psych wards. This last rehab was 3 straight months of living there. But he said what clicked was Greg Giraldo dying because that was just this past September. As good as Artie sounds it worries me that it took Greg dying for him to realize it. Safe to now say that Artie was back on drugs even after his suicide attempt...

[jackisback24]

so the first hour will call for:

Langford quitting, Winehouse passing, the Norway bombing and possibly an A-list guest.

Is Stern still on Twitter?

[CrashDMB237]

so the first hour will call for:

Langford quitting, Winehouse passing, the Norway bombing and possibly an A-list guest.

Is Stern still on Twitter?

Langford quitting will be a two second discussion because a caller asks about it in the segment right before Jon Hein and Shuli give the updates leading into Robin's news.

[jackisback24]

I would say out of all the possibilities, the ones to possibly do the Stern show this week that are in NY on the talk show circuit are:

Tim Robbins
Neil Patrick Harris
Zack Braff
Steve Carell


I hope Franco does the show if Stern is live next week.

Is Stern live this week???

http://www.interbridge.com/lineups.html

[jackisback24]

Langford quitting will be a two second discussion because a caller asks about it in the segment right before Jon Hein and Shuli give the updates leading into Robin's news.
Has it already been addressed on the Stern show? I missed it if so. If he talked about it, what were his comments?

[hbktonyb]

Did he address Langford today? According to some article, Langford quit because he is questioning Howard's long term commitment to Sirius...hmmm.

[Ascf33]

"Gotta love America... the only place where two C's can get you an A"

:lol Howard is the man.

[neumdogg]

I am so fucking tired of hearing about Lady Gaga and hearing that fucking song. Enough is enough.

[nkc8246]

"Gotta love America... the only place where two C's can get you an A"

:lol Howard is the man.

I'd be willing to bet that was a Bronk line passed to Howard

[jackisback24]

I'd be willing to bet that was a Bronk line passed to Howard
didn't hear the show but what is the joke in it's context?

[Ascf33]

I'd be willing to bet that was a Bronk line passed to Howard

oh without a doubt

[Ascf33]

didn't hear the show but what is the joke in it's context?

yes. a teacher who banged his student at 17 and they are now married were on today.

[jackisback24]

yes. a teacher who banged his student at 17 and they are now married were on today.
gotcha. Did they talk about Winehouse? Or upcoming guests? I know some will say the whole Amy Winehouse demise was inevitable, but it's still sad.

[hbktonyb]

Black on Black on now. So funny.

[jackisback24]

Tim Robbins or Neil Patrick Harris are in town promoting.

[GUnit]

I would put Shuli in the Artie chair in a second. His prepared material isn't that great, but in the flow of a conversation he has some great one-liners. My top candidate (other than Artie of course) is still Breuer. I think he's god damn hilarious and a perfect fit for that role.
U serious? Shuli fucking sucks. MisMen was cancelled and u think he'd get the artie chair?
His bits about the road is so dumb and he's the worst storyteller ever.

[thechad90000]

U serious? Shuli fucking sucks. MisMen was cancelled and u think he'd get the artie chair?
His bits about the road is so dumb and he's the worst storyteller ever.

[CrashDMB237]

U serious? Shuli fucking sucks. MisMen was cancelled and u think he'd get the artie chair?
His bits about the road is so dumb and he's the worst storyteller ever.

Well to answer both questions with one big F-U... Howard said himself that if he had to put someone in the Artie chair it would be Shuli. So I guess I'm in pretty good company.

[hbktonyb]

More confirmation that Artie will never even be a guest on the show...

Can't wait to read his book.

[CrashDMB237]

More confirmation that Artie will never even be a guest on the show...

Can't wait to read his book.

What happened? I haven't been listening to the show at all since they came back from break with the exception of Gaga.

[hbktonyb]

Pulled this from Mark's friggin. The other thing that was said is that "We need need Artie here telling us the details of what went down...". This is the part that I don't understand. You can't have the guy back as a guest when he is already on radio talking about his bullshit??

Howard took a call from a guy who brought up Steve leaving and Howard said that he understands why Steve left and he's fine with it. He said he's not sure why there's such hard feelings when people leave. The caller also brought up Artie and if he's going to have him back on. Howard said he has explained that 100 times. He said he loves Artie and he admires his talents. He said he went through some serious stuff and he watched it all go down. Howard said he's the worst one at handling the guy and knowing what he needs. He said he has been stand offish because he doesn't want to upset the guy in any way. Howard said he tried to kill himself and that's serious business to him. He said that's no joking matter. Howard said he will never say a bad word about Artie and he wishes him well. He said he doesn't know how to handle those kind of things. Howard said he must be working with people who know how to handle all of that.

The caller said that Artie seems like he's doing fine and it doesn't seem like he's ever going to hurt himself again. Howard said he loves Artie and he doesn't want him to be hurt. Robin said it's all about Artie. Howard said he needs some care and he's not sure how to give that to him. He said he loves Artie and Nick and they'll do good radio. Howard said that's it.

Howard said Artie is a great guy and they had 9 great years together. Howard said he's not going to say anything and about the guy. Howard said he's not going to talk about any calls they made to each other or whatever. He said he wants him to be healthy and he doesn't need him talking about how he tried to kill himself or anything like that. Howard said he thinks it's pretty simple. Howard said he's on Artie's team 100 percent and that's it.

Robin said people take things very lightly from the outside. She said they just want you to start doing it again.

Howard took another call from a guy who asked why he blames himself for the demise of Artie. Howard said he doesn't. He said he's a very delicate matter and he's just being very careful with the way he handles it. Howard said he doesn't blame himself one bit. He said he just knows it's a lot to deal with.
