This Jane Wells woman that Howard photographed (can't wait to see that CD cover!) sounds like the Underdog Lady.

Also, Howard busting on Benji's photoshopping job was hilariously ironic.

Holy cow, I don't remember the last time Gary got as affected by Howard busting his balls as he did today. In turns he sounded pissed and on the verge of tears.

Is Howard still ragging Gary about his tech podcast?

Howard's complaints were pretty ridiculous. I mean, there's plenty of reasons to rip that stupid tech show apart, but the use of the word "interface"? Howard is such an old man...

That was part of it, but then there were problems with the phones again, then the guest they had on was getting over whooping cough which sent his germ-phobia into overdrive. All this eventually led to Howard, among other things, telling Gary that he doesn't really care about him which seemed to cut the deepest.

That's exactly what I thought. There is no amount of dumbing down you could do to get Howard or Robin to understand anything to do with technology.

I'm hoping that before Stern actually retires, Gary shows up one day and says "gently caress this, I quit you're an rear end in a top hat" and walks out. Then again, he's probably too addicted to the fame/recognition he gets from being on the show to ever do this.

I really wish Howard or DePace or whoever is REALLY in charge of HowardTV would make that poo poo available online.
I'm more interested in paying to see Sour Shoes blow a load in his pants than I care to admit, and would pay cash money if they'd just let me give it to them. (I have AT&T UVERSE which doesn't offer HowardTV in my area).

I hate having to resort to trying to follow an endless stream of youtube accounts (that always get shut down) just to try and see what Howard is talking about.

I think Gary understands that, crippling psychological abuse aside, Howard is the reason he has made a very good living for the past 25-odd years. It would take a special kind of stupid to tell the guy responsible for your seven-figure nest egg to gently caress off.

In case anybody doesn't know the story, Howard was once talking to Frank Zappa (which was, of course, awesome). Howard noted that Frank was great at thinking up names for children, and asked him what he should call his next daughter. (I think this was Ashley.) Frank, without missing a beat, said "Muldred". Howard has said that his daughter was disappointed that Frank's suggestion wasn't used.

I think Muldred is the internal name for it. Howard said it was some IBM product called Connections (looks like this: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/connections/) which means it's an overpriced outdated product that has been replaced a million times over by more modern companies but Jeff Shick convinced Howard it was good.

And goofing on Gary today was great. They've had the Bigfoot impersonator in there a few times recently, and it's not that entertaining anymore.

Sort of. It's an internal social network you can roll out that lets teammates and co-workers keep up to date on one another. Because it's entirely internal, you can put up questions or requests for help and chances are, someone in your circle either knows, or knows someone who knows, a solution. I've seen it in action and it's a godsend for projects where teammates are in different geographic locations and don't get the usual time out in the hallway to catch up on what's happening.

Full disclosure, I work for IBM, but not on Connections.

Two audio notes from last week that I never got around to posting:

Sour Shoes's Gary is amazing, but the content and the mannerisms are way better then the voice. His Gary voice sounds a lot like Gene Simmons to me. Or at least, that Gene Simmons imitator that they used to have sit in.

One of Shuli's regular cackles sounds to me quite a bit like Betelgeuse laughing. The first day Shuli sat in, a couple times I thought I had heard the Beet, but then I figured out it was Shuli laughing the bakground. I kept expecting a jolly "Hey!"

Am I nuts?

one millionth of one millionth of a second
Pat Cooper's an insanely angry dude, and he hasn't mellowed much with age. I remember when his estranged son & daughter called into the Stern show, during the K-Rock days - it was loving scary. After not talking to his son for like 10 years, he goes "I love you, Mike." The kid says, "Never heard that before." Pat goes, "YEAH?!?!? WELL, YOU MIGHT NEVER HEAR IT AGAIN!" Then Pat's mom called up and started yelling about how he owed her money or some poo poo - he started screaming at his mother about how he paid her back long ago. i don't remember what they said exactly but it got really nasty.

All of which makes me think his autobiography might be worth picking up.
