I was really disappointed that the video game segment didn't lead to an interview with the Angry Video Game Nerd. I'd love to hear him talk to Stern. Also, can someone explain Howard's obsession with Chaz Bono? He's talked about him every day this week, and who gives a poo poo who gives a gently caress?

Chaz Bono is one of those people who I don't know of outside of this show, like Joey Buttafuoco and Jessica Hahn.

I'm 37 and I have memories of the Sonny and Cher show and she was just a baby then. The only times I can remember her name coming up in the news over the years is when she came out as a lesbian, when Sonny died, and when she had the sex change. The only entertainment she's ever provided to the show is Artie's impressions of her/him

Shes Not Impressed posted:Howard has really been on a tear lately about that idealistic American working man and how if you don't work (according to his parameters) then you're a bum. God I wanted to punch him in the face when he was talking to Adrianne Curry and he said "mahhj" because he doesn't know what the gently caress a "Mage" is. I don't give a poo poo nor a gently caress about WoW but just his complete isolation from the rest of the world of the last 15 years..

Wait, let me get this clear, you are mad because a 60 year old doesn't know what a mage in World of Warcraft is? I bet I could ask my parents and all of their friends and fine maybe 2 who do. edit actually the number would probably be zero, unless one of their kids is obsessed with it , 2 is a going on the high side Ribsauce fucked around with this message at 19:15 on May 13, 2011 |

He used to read Thor comics as a kid. He should know this word. He is also a pop culture icon and radio host, he should at least be aware of things like "The Simpsons" and that silly cartoon that one guy does "Family Guy". Howard just plays up this stuff funny sometimes, pretending he doesn't know anything, then confused when people don't get his Leslie West references. I mean, seriously, who in the entertainment world doesn't know about Family Guy?

For example, when he interviews Chris Russo he constantly mispronounces Russo's ex-partner Mike Francesa's name even after Russo corrects him numerous times. It's just a thing Howard does to discredit people he dislikes; like he can't be bothered to remember the guy's name because he's so insignificant.

I bet I could ask my parents and all of their friends and fine maybe 2 who do. You have failed at getting it clear. As many others have pointed it out, the word is a common usage word in the english language that has become much more popular in the last 15 years and if you somehow have made it the last 15 years without knowing how to pronounce "Mage" then you are a sequestered shut-in who should broaden your horizons. Do you need to have an advanced knowledge of spices to know that "Sage" is not pronounced "Sahj"? His schtick of not knowing how to pronounce people's names is funny because it's an insult to their level of 'fame' but the inability to pronounce common words in the english language while you are insulting other people for using them sounds dumb.

Give me an example, outside of World of Warcraft or any other video game in which the common man would use the word "mage" Outside of videogames and creepy fantasy fan-fiction, it is never ever used. Ever. edit; poo poo I think he was deferring to that world by pronouncing it that way.

It's a loving 3rd grade word and has no bearing on the context from whence it became popular. It's from the 1300's. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mage

Someone with a twitter account should tweet him a link to one of AVGN's videos. He actually might get a kick of it if the video was really short and the game was really frustrating. Like Dragon's Lair, Power Glove, or TMNT. Opie and Anthony loved him and they had him on their show.

I'm 33 and outside of the videogame or dungeons and dragons realm or even fantasy or Shakespearian literature (that it is even in that, I don't know) I have never in that many years heard that word used. All I'm asking you for is an everyday reference or an instance in which you or someone else has used it. I'm not trying to troll or be a dick, I am actually interested in this.

I'm over it, but I guess to entertain the point - how many knights do we have outside of medieval literature or fantasy? Zero, but yet everyone knows it's not pronounced "kanigget". I suppose usage of "mage" is probably restricted to more fantasy use than non, but it's still hardly some obscure word that Blizzard invented. Basically it just annoyed me because I'm not into WoW nor am I a fantasy gamer and yet I know and have known that word for as long as I can recall, and that entire segment of asking her WoW trivia that neither the asker nor the answerer had any idea what any of it meant was bad radio.

Haha, I had a similar reaction, she made it sound less dumb than most people who are into it do. I guess part of was just that a lot of this week felt phoned in by Howard and I was sort of annoyed with his lazy week of radio in general (Thursday's 6am start of a 9 minute live version of Hotel California, for instance) and that tipped me into nerdrage territory over a minor pronunciation issue.

I'm sure Howard knows enough about radio that it is easier to enrage people, and if he can do that while goofing on those people for the rest of the audience, he helps out both. I haven't heard the bit yet, but I'm interested to see how it turns out.

I think an undercurrent of it all is that we all miss Baby Gorilla Shine on you chubby diamond  edit; even when Howard is being ridiculous and ranting about bullshit and making himself look like a dope I still laugh. I know it's a hotly debated thing here but the "I'm the PRANKSTER, I PRANK, NO-ONE ELSE" rant cracks me the gently caress up. Sure he's being a lunatic and all that but my god his delivery and pitch and crazitude crack me the gently caress up. I love it. edit. poo poo I can't find that clip, little help guys? edit number ninety : gently caress YES I think I found it, listening now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UduTXHKnncc hahahahaha it is it!! chiz fucked around with this message at 03:21 on May 14, 2011 |

Yeah, he's usually really good when he's goofing on people, he just seemed off on this one and kept it up for too long. Artie would have made it hilarious though. Howard and Robin alone just don't understand it enough to properly do the joking it seemed like. (old) e: thinking about it, it's pretty much the reason I don't enjoy most call-in style talk radio shows other than Howard's - it's boring when a caller is stupid on a point and the host agrees with my take but cannot properly explain WHY the caller is wrong, just that he sucks. Howard never does this which is why he is legendary, he always "gets it" enough to properly make the goof and is usually correct enough in his reasoning/logic to explain his math, if you will.

I think Howard is right in that a lot of his audience simply doesn't get the show. I've been a fan since the 90s and have listened to every single minute of every show since late 2005, and I have not once been pissed off at it. I don't even understand how anyone could be. It's entertainment, simple as that. Would you get pissed off when going down the slide at a waterpark? Would you get pissed off while watching a concert with your favorite band? Maybe you should stop listening to the show for a while and quit bitching about it.

I'm sorry to continue the derail, but I wanted to chime in to say that until reading the word in this thread, I had never heard of Mage. And I'm not some shut-in and I'm only 29. Speaking as someone who feels that the best video game system they've played was the SNES, I think if you aren't into that sort of thing (gaming), you haven't heard that word.

I would get annoyed at any of those things doing it wrong, same as I will continue doing so when Howard makes a stupid statement. What do you do for a living? It obviously isn't reading thread titles. Or maybe the discussion would be more entertaining if every comment was "That was a good show." or "Yep, it was." Also, just for the record: shared ignorance doesn't really excuse it globally, so sorry if you guys have limited vocabularies and have never heard it but that's a pretty common word and regardless of your area of expertise that is not pronounced Mahj. Really, it's not knowing the meaning of the word, it's knowing how to read english that is the problem here. Find me another word in english that is 4 letters and ends in 'AGE' and is pronounced ahj. It was a bad bit, a bit that went badly. I specified what was bad about it in my opinion. Ether Frenzy fucked around with this message at 05:04 on May 14, 2011 |
