It'll weigh in at a measly 3 hours as he takes half an hour just to navigate the menu.

When I went to an AGT taping in San Francisco it didn't occur to me that my friend (who doesn't listen) wouldn't find it deplorable that I was poo poo talking Eric the Midget who sat three rows behind us, and later in the same row.

I still feel justified.

Eric is so great because he is a terrible person; and he's not a terrible person because of his afflictions. He has his afflictions because God knew he'd be a terrible person, and punished him from birth. I don't want to see the amount of selfish he contains inside of a person with an actual physically capable body.

I hope he lives for 200 depressing years, and posts angry messages in mega-caps on ultra-twitter.

He's not a terrible person, he's just been acting all these years! :downs:

How did he think anyone would buy that? Oh yeah, a 90 IQ. Thats the same IQ telling him Diana Degarmo wants to be his date to a wedding and hookers are in love with him.

Imagine what Eric's parents went through. If they were ever in studio with Dr. Keith it would be the best radio ever.

I remember the epic struggle that took place trying to get him on a plane with his oxygen tank. Every time I fly, I see at least 2 or 3 people with one so I don't know why he was making it out to be Mission: Impossible or something.

I think psychoanalyzing the Midget would be the best radio ever, simply to see how bitter he is about his condition and how delusional he really is. Plus, remember way back when Eric was new to the show and he mentioned that his parents spoke to him about 'the lake house?' I wonder if that was the way they kept him under control: lock him away where nobody would know about him. I have to imagine this behavior is not new, and that he has done a lot of this creeper stuff.

The best quote about that is when Eric was hesitant to do or talk about something, and his explanation was "My dad says I'm starting to become an embarrassment to the family."

Artie immediately blurted out "STARTING!?!"

Giving Eric the amount of fame and attention he's been given, along with things like Kendra, the acting gigs, the bunny ranch, but only in small doses, and then observing his reaction is one of the grandest social experiments I have ever seen.

I can just see scientists looking through glass commenting on "How the midget responds to this stimuli" and pushing a button connected to a tube out of which comes either a hooker, some money, a slap in the face, a video of women laughing at him, or a drunk caller from Jersey telling him to take his PJ pants and hang himself.

As far as I'm concerned Eric's entire existence was a set-up to when he called in on March 11th to tell everyone it's his birthday to which Artie responded:

"Do your parents refer to this day as 3-11?"

My favorite Artie/Eric moment was back during the whole "get him to fly with balloons" saga and when they were trying to come up with alternate suggestions, Artie said: "Eric, can we mail you somewhere." :roflolmao:

I stopped listening to the show 2 or 3 years ago, and I keep thinking I'll resubscribe because I miss it so much. Then I read things like how he's being cyber bullied and all the AGT stuff and his bullshit schedule and, as much as I know you kids can get a little overly dramatic about stuff when it comes to Stern, I know I can never go back, and that makes me sad. I really wish he'd retired when his last contract was up.

I used to be one of the major Positivity Patrol guys in the Stern thread, so it's a weird transition for me to be all "well, that's that, I guess...".

For what it's worth, the show hasn't really improved since you stopped listening. This was a pretty good week of interesting interviews with people whose names aren't Joan Rivers or Omarosa, but it was really an anomaly compared to what the show's become since Artie left. Most of the time I don't even bother to continue listening after I get to work, and I usually listen to NPR on Thursdays and Fridays in the car instead of listening to the same bits replayed for the 2nd or 3rd time.

Man, I really wish Satellite Radio had ratings.

Nothing lights a fire under Howard's rear end like ratings. If he could see the (what I assumme) to be massive numbers of people not tuning in to the show anymore, he might start giving a gently caress again.

Stern's still the only thing besides This American Life that consistently holds my attention. I wasn't able to stick with The Artie Show, it feels too disingenuous. This week was great: Jimmy Kimmel, JJ Abrams, Rod Steward, Roger Daltrey, ZZ Top, Rob Corddry, a few good ETM calls, Sal's fixation on the Long Island Psychic and the crew pouring a beer down Richard's rear end in the studio. Sure it's not what it used to be but it's still entertaining for the most part.

I love whenever Howard goes to ETM with a guest, Eric literally asked Rob Corddry "How's it going?".

e: I always remember something I enjoyed right after I hit 'submit'..

The art of trolling Eric isn't to push logical buttons, it's to find something completely new and way out of left field that he'll flip out over. Insist that one of his ears is fake. Tell him you loved him in the Garfield movie. Reveal to the world that Eric the Midget is the stage name of an able-bodied lesbian welder from Glendale. Some of the poo poo he's flipped out over makes no sense, yet he CONSTANTLY FEELS THE NEED TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT, DUMB gently caress.

The Artie/Eric bit which is mah faaaavvvooorrriiitteee is when Eric was talking about American Idol and he referred to it as 'Idol', and Artie with incredible vitriol in his voice said "What, are you too busy to say 'American' you human being"

I'm sure that they get some numbers from on demand. Don't know if he'd count those as real or not though.
