Bonzo posted:What the hell does he do in therapy? Anytime someone disagrees with him he ultimately shifts to the resolution of "well then don't talk/listen to me". It's all rampant and unstopping insecurity. He's in the Top 5% of Americans income-wise and he's a stupid, miserable gently caress. I can see why people leave that position. To deal with that on a constant basis must be a nightmare. FogHelmut posted:If Langford is gone, what else is there left to care about? I imagine Eric the Midget is excited at this and will call in and wait for hours before falling back into a horrible depression about it. -Atom- posted:Langford was hilarious. He was great at whatever he did, and had a remarkable gravitas about him. Considering he was basically the frontman for a gigantic trolling operation. chiz posted:well, to be fair she didn't know that she was being funny, ie, laughed at. It's Imusing out, much like O&A are. The era of the shock jock is now long dead, and in their infinite wisdom they have decided that if they hold out the funny, then it hurts Sirius more than it hurts them. And they are only half right. Crotch Bat posted:Probably because he got a better offer. If he cares about his journalism, and I suspect he does, then it's probably been really bad to have that job for the past 12-18 months as literally nothing has happened after Artie left aside from Howard re-signing. He can go work for a legit news outlet and do actual journalism that will make him feel more accomplished. That or he gets a bigger paycheck. I hope so. Despite being a dick at times, he could be a good reporter.

If you're like me, you've been immersed in 2007-2008 Artie and Eric the Midget-land. That's when ETM really hated Langford. 3 years later, we rarely hear from ETM. I doubt he gives much a gently caress about Langford anymore.

Millstone posted:In other news, remember ETM's cover of Wild Thing? Did we ever get to hear the other song he was working on, "Our Two Hearts Will Prove Them Wrong" ?? Literally just listened to this and I'm reasonably sure there was only the one song, and the "cover" of Wild Thing was it. I'd forgotten that along with all the "Eric, seriously, what do you want to be called?" names (e.g. "Eric the lovely Penis," "Eric the Rude, Obnoxious, and Annoying Midget") there were also several sound clips of him just saying stupid poo poo. My faaaaavorite is "I'm trying to gently caress a chicken!" Those same clips also got us this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZB_DjBrmsQ

I always hold that neither Robin nor Howard knew what 0.0 was from. Just watched the video again and it just seems so odd. Artie and Fred are making each other crack up while Robin says/does virtually nothing and Howard just seems annoyed that it interrupts him talking to Eric.

Howard pulled that 'Artie, shut up' thing a few other times when Artie was running away with the show. I remember when Gilbert was on and they were cracking each other up with some Eric the Midget jokes that segued into one of the funniest racist tirades I had ever heard. I think it was shortly after the Niggerwhat bit.

I always hate when he would stop Artie from interrupting Eric's long-winded and terrible plugs. I honestly don't want Eric back on the show without Artie there, Howard lets him drone on way too long.

an adult beverage posted:Howard never unleashed Artie on Eric like he could have. I always hate when he would stop Artie from interrupting Eric's long-winded and terrible plugs. Agreed. Artie could see through Eric every single time. Even when Artie felt bad, he knew that's how the Midget operated and would strike back. Howard, on the other hand, couldn't see Eric beyond his disabilities and rationalized it by thinking that the Midget was radio gold even though he was dead weight. In a way, I think the ETM appearances on Stern was a true sign of Howard losing his touch. Would the Stern of the '90s even bother with Eric after the 'Smurf Cock' prank?

I'm surprised Langford stayed as long as he did. He clearly cares about investigative journalism and I'm sure it probably infuriated him that Howard could kill any story for no reason.

It was always supposed to be kind of a joke, but what was funny was Langford acting like Edward R. Morrow trying to uncover whether or not a grumpy midget was really dating a porn star.

Artie Lange is on the podcast, Fixing Joe with Joe Matarese, that came out today. http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/fixing-joe-with-joe-matarese/id442163901 It sounds like Artie is still dating Adrian. I figured she would have head for the hills by now.

Also, it seems I misspoke earlier. Eric's "Wild Thing" cover and "Our Two Hearts Will Prove Them Wrong" are different songs; I suppose the latter is consigned to the ether.

Dude had the most infectious laugh ever. I don't think he was a terrible person. I just think his attitude when it came to compensation was retarded. He reminds me of a lot of people I know who are "pennywise and pound foolish." If he would have had someone like a Don Buchwald negotiate for him instead of finding an agent in the Pennysaver, maybe he'd still have a career. Quite frankly, the fact that he wasn't able to use his success from the show to make a profitable career for himself shows how bad of a businessman he really is. He's like one of those people who are dirt poor, win the lottery, and lose it all in a couple years.

Jackie seemed like a real fun guy to know.A lot of his ideosyncracies were especially funny, but letting a 1.5 mil contract die like that with no real prospects for the future is incredibly dumb. The show's the worse off for not having him on it now, though the Artie years were by and large unbelievably good. So many years later, if they got Jack back somehow, I'd start to care about the show again.
