Atheist Sunglasses posted:What'r they saying? Basically, Steve went to an all-news FM station. He gave notice during vacation, but had already signed a contract with the new place before telling Tim et al. which everyone thought was weird. At the very end, Howard complained that he was "friends" with the people who hired Steve away and that he was mad at them for taking his talent. Did the Playgirl interview get any better? I made it through about 10 minutes, it was terrible.

I've never been able to find the proper words to explain why I don't like Ronnie, but thanks to King yesterday, I now know. Ronnie is the type of guy who buys his suits offa rack!

I don't see why they all thought it was weird that Steve signed a new contract before putting in his two weeks. He obviously wanted out. Also, they mentioned Steve was peeved at being reigned in and not able to pursue a couple stories he wanted to(I would LOVE to know what those were!). He also may or may not have been peeved at being preempted after waiting in the hall to come on the show. Howard said he didn't think he was, but someone else said otherwise.

You always sign the contract before putting in your resignation. Why would you resign before you know you have a new job to go to? What if the new position falls through at the last minute, but too late you quit your other job. Its almost insulting if your current employer tries to offer you more money to stay. Why weren't you worth that much yesterday? How are they going to treat you in the future? Maybe they're just offering you that cash to buy themselves some more time to find a cheaper replacement. Langford did the right thing. The Stern show isn't what it was 5 years ago, and isn't going to be again. Howard doesn't put any effort in anymore, and the rest of the crew is cruising on what they built in the past. Langford had a new opportunity and took it. No shame there.

They realize that once I'm gone that they'll be put in a bind and now they're scrambling to try to keep me. Too little, too late.

I would never, ever give notice at my job without a contract or offer letter for a new job. That is the first thing you learn when you hit the working world. Would Howard have left K-Rock without something from Sirius already guaranteed? I am also dying to know what the stories that got killed consisted of! Howard made some comment about how these stories were "life-ruiners." Yikes!

No mention of the return of EtM?! "Don't count...your chickens...too quickly..." Wish they had stayed on the phone with him rather than going to the Dice interview.

He's an rear end, but he deserved a lot more than the Stern show would ever give him. And honestly, it always seemed like a waypoint for him to get back to doing something worthwhile instead of being a money sink for keeping track of rogue wack packers and the like. I'm glad he got in at a news station. And if Howard is bitter...well, gently caress it. A job is a job, and at least Langford won't be wasted. And ETM is back? I doubt it, but unless he does something good, it'll be short-lived.

I'm glad he got in at a news station. I didn't get the feeling that Howard sounded bitter at all. Other than signing a new contract before putting in his two weeks, Howard didn't have anything other than positive things to say about him, and it actually sounded genuine. Seems like typical Howard not being able to control everything or not knowing how the real world works. Or both. You're absolutely right: Good for Steve on being able to get the gently caress out while he could. I thought it was interesting how when they first mentioned Steve had left, Robin was acting like this was all news to her. "I was wondering why I haven't seen him in the halls!" Really?

Great, so I'm lying on the couch last night, minding my own business, and my fiancee comes out of our bedroom and says, "Babe, you've got to watch this documentary I'm watching [turns out it was this one]. It's awesome. Guess what...we're going on a juice fast!" This house has jumped the shark, folks. See ya on the other side.

Wait until the vacation months wind down to book your flight to Peru, or you'll pay out the rear end instead of having more money to shoot coffee up the rear end.

Just in case no one has noticed, the second part of the Artie interview is on Itunes now. For some reason though, it's not on the main Joe Matarese page, you have to click "see all" to get to it, bottom of the list.

Brocktoon posted:No mention of the return of EtM?! Bye, shithead! As immersed as I've been in the Eric the Midget packs over the last several weeks, without Artie and Langford there I'm not sure I even want to listen to his appearance today. You know, I'd always hoped Howard 100 News would be something more like Hustler, where they actually worked on real news stories and digging up dirt on people, instead of, you know, which litter box High-Pitch Eric is making GBS threads this week. Imagine if Langford had been truly unleashed.

ChaosMonkey posted:Bye, shithead! It's just a hidden commercial for the new Smurf movie. It doesn't even follow the continuity of the show. Howard is asking for an apology for something that didn't happen (The Midget's last appearance in December basically had him wanting to be off the show forever) while mentioning the Smurfs at random intervals. It's the Stern version of Montel Williams hocking poo poo via infomercial.

Oh good, Denise Richards in today. Hopefully next week Jillian Barberie comes in so we can hear how Howard "shoulda banged her" when he was single, and how hard he would've given it to her. I have to agree with Denise though, Beth will be pregnant within a year if she and Howard "talked" about it last night.

I'm relatively new to twitter (I signed up when Howard made his account) and only follow like 70 people, but today on its side bar for its recommendations of who I should follow was @Oprah. Why? Followed by @RealGilbert.  It's like I'm in on a secret that Twitter isn't
