Howard mocking the video game convention is a mixed bag... The people on the tape are indeed mock-worthy, but his total lack of knowledge about video games makes him laughable as well. "Yeah, they could pay The Who to use a real song in the game, instead they just have some lovely song."

The Who definitely fit into most video games, especially those coming from Japan. "We can get our music guy to make some good repeating music or pay The Who $500,000 to license one of their songs." Wouldn't a chess convention be similar of people who are experts in chess and don't work?

I didn't even recognize that was JD until you guys pointed it out. It looks like the pounds that Richard lost got injected right into his face.Millstone posted:"You check your blood sugar, and you check it often."

I really hate some of Howard's interviews sometimes, like this one with the guy from the Melvins. Howard has no concept of artistic fulfillment whatsoever. If you're not making a billion dollars doing something, it's not worth ever doing.

Just as and aside, Howard actually used the Melvins in bumpers back in the 90s, but I wouldn't expect him to remember that.

Yes and no... for Howard it's not so much the money as it is "success", which he primarily defines as fame. And pussy.

I found Howard and Robin trying to puzzle out the power of the AVGN amusing. Now I can't help picturing James Rolfe standing up and just staring over the crowd like the great Bra'tso.

No, because chess is a genius level activity, that's why you only ever see it played by people like Steve Jobs and Stephen Hawking in billion-dollar brain arenas on HD TV, not homeless guys in alleys and in grimy parks in Hollywood. oh wait

As a gamer, it was definitely a rough segment. When the guy's talking about Half-Life, beating people with crowbars, and then blurts out "SOURCE ENGINE," you could tell Howard thought he was completely mental.

Howard's Lady Gaga rant is just awesome. Even Robin chiming in was hilarious. "She loves bullshit Robin. "Well she's giving everyone a big dose of it." When Gaga said that she hates money I half expected Fred to play that Scott Salem clip ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Yea that was horrible for so many reasons, most of which it was not funny in any way. I can't believe he even played it. By the way here's the video Howard just couldn't figure out if it was real or not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuyW4JPV_Ig Speaks volumes about how good his eye is.

In his undefense it looks like everything in the video except when the guy is speaking and in a clearly different audio pickup. Maybe it just made for a good story so he ran with it.

Listening to that story about Wheel of Fortune as Howard built it up to be something he was tricked by that the rest of the world recognized as being from the Onion, I was 70% expecting it to be audio of Randy on South Park.

I will say Robin was gold in that ICP interview. She just couldn't stop laughing at them. A 34 is laughing at you. A woman with coffee in her rear end is laughing hysterically at you and your careers.

Benji is okay when he is busting on someone, or when he joins in with everyone else. But good lord...when the focus is on him and his behavior I find it terribly boring.

Benjy's laugh and Fred and Howards impressions of him are pretty much the only funny thing about him. Benjy actually sounds kind of "ironic" "goonish" and schticky and it gets annoying. His prank call sucked. He "trolls" but isn't good at it.

On the subject of Benjy hate, I have some random thoughts. When benjy was showing up late every day and Howard was berating him on the air and threatening to fire him, I really wanted to call the show and tell Howard something along the lines of: " you don't have the balls to fire him, so shut the gently caress up and move the show along. As evidenced by your "firing" of Gary, Stuttering John etc, and then hiring them back by the end of the show. If you were really at the point that you were going to fire him then you'd be talking to him off air. Its not great radio its fuckin annoying so shut the gently caress up." I won't accuse benjy of doing it purposely just to get air time, but my opinion is gently caress off and stop with that bullshit. All his other shtick is pretty fuckin annoying too. Like the Tracy Morgan stuff, him fighting with Tracy Millman et al. His prank calls are lame, his pretending to be related to some famous scientist but "he can't talk about it" was just more boring bullshit. I even had a hard time enjoying the bit where he was "benshe" to gently caress with Gary The Retard. And today with the Ronnie poo poo was pretty bad too. Stern trivia: What was Daniel Carver's reply on Hollyweird squares when asked "which 1960s sci-fi show featured televisions first interracial kiss"? scapulataf fucked around with this message at 23:53 on May 11, 2011 |

I hate Benjy too because I don't "get" his style of humor. He's always trying to do schtick or "fake schtick" and it's not funny, it's not fun. It's more stupid and weird.

One of the worst Benjy moments I can remember is when they were doing a drinking show in Vegas or something and Benjy stuck his finger down his throat to make himself puke. Everyone assumed it was from the alcohol but the E! camera clearly showed him doing it on purpose. He's so desperate for attention that it alternates between obnoxious and pathetic. If you have to make yourself throw up in public to get people to notice you it's time to seek therapy.

Howard would've just told you to gently caress off and if you didn't like it, to cancel your subscription.

I liked Sussi's(sp?) response back to Howard about all of his biking bashing. It's always interesting hearing glimpses the staff's true feelings once they are are no longer working for Howard and don't have to suck his whole rear end in a top hat.

But he said he was aware that Stern was bashing him about the bike/farming thing, and countered that Howard is just jealous that he has nothing that he really enjoys in life and that he is going to die a bitter old man surrounded by his money.
