Mr Hands Colon posted:Looks like someone just heard the news brief too! How did JD get to be part of the show? I've only been listening since Sirius. If i remember the story they told on air, JD was an intern originally who was good at coming in on crazy hours to record tv shows. When the position became available both he and a hot chick intern applied...and the chick got it. At some point after the chick went into the green room while 50 Cent was there and tried to sell her boyfriends "Beats" on disc to him. Ronnie had to drag her out cos she wouldn't leave and she was fired that day. So JD moved up a slot and the rest is history.

The only sport I have any interest in is hockey but it's very rarely on aside from ball busting.

I don't think you need to be into whatever sport they're talking about, I don't follow football/basketball/baseball/hockey and still love the show. When they do talk about sports it usually devolves pretty quickly into Artie doing impressions or talking about K-holes.

Also, it seems that a lot of the sports reporters they have calling in to talk about things have good senses of humor and are willing to go off-script and make jokes. It's much less sports-intensive than I had initially feared.

Both Artie and Nick say cruel, vicious, degrading things, particularly about gays and women. With Artie, it is dark, but funny, and I get the sense that he knows his opinions are wrong, and understands that having the opinions on race and gender he had as a longshoreman in Jersey are not okay. With Nick, he comes across as a horrible racist who has hate deep in his heart and does not see anyone other than Straight White Men as actual people worthy of any respect or consideration. I am a fan of Boston sports teams, and hate the Yankees, so it is especially annoying how terrible a person Nick is.

But yeah, his politics are almost comically horrible. He could post on Free Republic and not stand out. I like it best when he's more or less the straight man on the show, and Artie takes up all the space for comedy. It's especially clear when they get in-depth about certain topics. One time, Nick was bitching about how drug addicts should be drowned in rivers (or something like that), and Artie very calmly pointed out that he was in exactly the same situation as the people Nick was complaining about. I gained a lot of respect for Artie -- he's smarter than I had realized, and he thinks about what other peoples' lives are like before he says things. prefect fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Mar 21, 2012 |

One thing that I've noticed though is that they've been strict about keeping the real non sports stuff to the end of the show, usually the last half hour or so. The planned discussion anyway. Remember the test show when they talked about Casey Anthony for the first hour or so? Also, I listened the other day to the show where Artie threw out his back and was talking about Prada-Willy (sp?) forever. I can't see them doing stuff like that nowadays. Don't get me wrong, even the "sports" talks is marginal at best. I was listening to the first nice coachs' appearance, that was good stuff. They need to have them in again. Also, get Gonzo in the studio, he's great. (So are we sure that he's not Colin Quinn?)

I listen to the podcast of the show, so I am not always sure which hour is first when I run through a stack of shows, but I thought they opened a few days ago with ~30minutes on how gay the producer was? And how terrible Artie's dinner tasted. And as you said, the 'sports' bits rarely focus on sports. Artie spent a segment trying to get the Sportbook director of the Wynn Casino (best guest ever, I hope he keeps coming on regularly after March Madness ends) to admit he would get hookers for big spending guests. The previous time the guy was on, Artie talked to him for a long time about point shaving and cocaine.

Strong familiarity with certain films, such as "The Godfather" and "Jaws", is a prerequisite for listening to N&A. More so than sports knowledge, really.

The N&A show needs to go in the OP/title of this thread at this point tbh. I feel like as time goes on this thread will be more and more about that, than THSS especially with how offtopic they've gone recently and how little sports talk there is. Mr Lance Murdock, your thoughts?? edit: Had a family tragedy a few weeks ago so I'm really far behind and catching up, but in the 3rd hour of I think the 3/7 show (whichever one had Bob Levy on) where Artie immitating some old agent or something was loving killing me.

I listened to the beginning of N&A for about 30 minutes on Monday. It was mostly football talk, and I got bored of it, I'm sad to say. Other than that, I haven't listened all last week and this week. Did I miss anything good? The best segments from N&A are now on youtube. Artie and Kamal tearing each other apart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqrE1cGUvP4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2AyIaDxD6k

They do a few interviews with sports journalists that have almost nothing to do with sports and instead are Artie ripping on Peyton Manning.

Yeah, I really only pay attention to this thread for N&A talk. I used to be a pretty big Stern fan, but I haven't listened in years. Now the train wreck that is that world is what interests me I guess, not that actual show. The "other board" has a pretty good N&A sub section that gets a good listening thread going every once in a while, so I like to check in there too.

I think they were playing a replay from years back or it was live on Monday or Tuesday this week. Some guy called in asking Robin if she thought something she said to howard was the funniest thing ever. They got this guy to talk about some gay experience he had. I had to get out the car before I was late to work and I wanted to hear the rest of that call. Last thing I remember was he went to dinner or bowling with someone he knew and he spent the night and he ended up naked in the bed.

She's a vapid talentless trophy wife that howard treats like a realdoll. Sure maybe she's a good wife and she is into activism but I mean come on. I'd have to hear what they are like in real life when they are alone to be able to tell you if they are a good match and in love but from the outside looking in you couldn't possibly believe that. She calls the shots in the bedroom, as Howard has said, she's got a momcave, she's busy doing throwaway shows with attractive guys and Howard has no say. We all love Howard and the show but when it comes to that aspect of his life, it's a joke.

I wonder, when Beth goes through menopause in the next 7 or 8 years, if Howard will keep using condoms even when she can't get pregnant. But by then Howard will be 66 and I don't even want to picture what that sex will be like.

Anyone listen to Nick Dipaolo's old Artie roast since the radio show? I didn't think much of it at the time because I didn't know who he was, it's a lot funnier now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5WkS5IdFbs#t=03m02s (3 minutes in if the timer doesn't work) "You know what the best part of Robin's new boat is? She has a stern that she doesn't have to pretend is funny." has to be one of the best all time roast lines. Then right after he asks if she'll name the boat the Cackling Whore, she cackles about as loud as I've ever heard her.

Oddly enough you probably shouldn't listen to the first hour of N&A if you're trying to get into the show but you aren't into sports, unless it's something like the Kamal show. They usually lead in with actual sports news which is by far their weakest area. Hour 2 of last night's show is a pretty perfect representation of the 'any Stern fan can enjoy it' N&A imo. Banter, ribbing on their producer, and phonecalls. Those are the high points, and those are usually the meat of the show. Besides the interviews anyway, Christ. It's really obvious that they're getting no-names N&A have no interest in to fill the hourly interview slots. Sometimes Nick tries to genuinely interview them (reading notes off a page style) and Artie usually completely derails everything or brings it back to gambling, it's great. rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Mar 22, 2012 |
