He drat well knew who Primus was at one point. He raved about them at Woodstock 94 and talked about how he liked their album awhile after that.

I think he is just starting to lose his marbles as he has lost what used to make the show great. I haven't listened to a new show in months but I listen to the Nick and Artie podcast every night.

Yes, exactly. He raved about it for a few weeks, and then something went bad with the record deal, and Tool pulled out at the last minute. Howard was REALLY sore, but he stopped talking about it right away, and then never really mentioned it again.

Good cover song, too, check it out.

On an unrelated note, Artie quoting the movie Brian's Song will never not be funny.

I've been reading Gary's book, and it's pretty good. I like some of his stories, and it's nice to have a little more background on some of the ones we've already heard a bunch of times.

Not very funny, though.

I'll have to get it. Have you read Private Parts and Miss America? They are entertaining reads. Not just the self-serving ego trip you might expect. Howard himself has admitted that he had a ghost writer for them though IIRC. Well worth the 5 dollers or whatever it is now.

Artie's book destroys all other staff books.
I do recommend reading "Quivers: A Life" because if you read it in the old Jackie Queen Quivers voice its hilarious.

Gary had a boring book and he left out anything funny and he seemed so worried to talk about the show, which is basically the only reason why I would ever read a book from him or any of the other production staff.

It's like Jason Kaplan writing a book called "My Stern Diet" and then just talking about fast food.

The book is called Bababooey, how can it not be about the Stern show?

Especially since its called "THEY CALL ME Bababooey"
The title implies that it will all be about the show. I am sure thats why a lot of people bought it. They must have been in for a shock when they found out it was about a horse tooth jackass telling stories about his bi-polar mother.

Anybody listen to last night's Nick and Artie show? Nick took a bit of a shot at Stern, it was pretty funny.

*caller tells Artie to go back on Stern"
"Wait, why does that guy want you to go back on Stern show"
"The show has 20 million listeners..."
"Not no more..."
"Yes it does..."
"He does the show, what, like 10 times a year now?"

I'm dying to know if Artie still listens to the show and ALSO what he thinks of the state of it now.

I'm liking the new show so much that I don't care at all about him going back on Stern. The only thing would be that he is more likely to address the crazy circumstances that led to it (stabbing himself, etc.) and that would be interesting, but that's why he's working on the new book. I realize I'm an Artie fan, not a Stern fan.

Artie is just a likeable guy. I don't know why, but even when he's telling the most horrible stories from his life he still manages to put a positive spin on him.

Howard, on the other hand, is just negative to the core. I find myself becoming physically and mentally tired just listening to him complain some days.

The Nick and Artie show is now available on iTunes, and I assume any other rss type thing you want to use to download the shows.

As others have said, the show is really fun, even if you do not follow sports.

Maybe the show will be more fun for me to listen to after the world series is over.

I downloaded the first hour on Thursday and it was just nonstop baseball talk. The only thing more boring than the sport of baseball is talking about baseball. I didn't get the references, the debates, or the jokes.

I enjoy the show when they're not talking about baseball. I wish there were some descriptions available of what they talked about each hour. Like Marksfriggin.com, which spared me from listening to Howard this week.

I doubt it. Artie's had one thing in his favor: he never really badmouths previous employers. When he ran out of MadTV high on drugs, he still kept coming back to the show and kept on good terms with Quincy Jones and such. With Stern, he'll probably wish them the best and continue on without mentioning anything else. Nick's doing it to get some juice for the show, but it's unnecessary. Artie is back on the air and is comfortable, and that's all that really matters.

Exactly. And Artie got me into the Stern show as well.

I think it's because Artie has a sense of honesty that is much more real and harsh. Stern can go on about his lovely childhood and all the rings he had to climb, but Artie's journey is much more dark and brutally honest. Artie puts himself out there in ways that Howard can't or won't, and adds insight that breaks through the haze of addiction. Not to mention he's a decent guy. Even when he's drugged to the gills, there's just something very jovial and fun about him. It's why someone like me can go from 'get some help, get off the show' to 'why did he kill himself I hope he's okay' in a matter of minutes.

Artie's stories are interesting because they involve interesting situations, while Howard's stories just seem to be about how his neuroses affect his life as a rich white male.

Seriously as a former fan the show is unlistenable.

Here's an example of the afternoon show, on Friday by new talent Shannon Burke. He spent over an hour taking calls from listeners about what car he should get without giving any details. On Tuesday and Thursday it was railing on OWS because they reportedly displaced the organic farmers market. Not to mention spending a whole day post death of Job's talking about Apple and the cloud. This is the best show at the moment :doh:

Ledge show at night is NWO, 9/11(tons on loose change), big banks, and free market stuff.

RadioIO is going to implode in the next few months stock has gone from .50 to .04 over the past year. The should also run out of cash this quarter but hey Bubba got his raceway out of the deal and seems to be aligning to go back to clear channel.
