I think you can pretty comfortably armchair shrink this and just say that what he is now is largely a result of his parents babying him his whole life(which you can't genuinely blame on them, he has serious medical issues that afflict very few worldwide) and the "power" he obtained by being on the show which only magnified his existing issues.

The show has made him exponentially worse just like other similar Wack Packers. High Pitch Eric is incredibly similar. When HPE first appeared on the show you could tell he was slow and had some issues but he wasn't a monster but because the show rewards bad behavior as good or better than good behavior he had no incentive to grow and better himself as a person and he's since devolved into this disgusting, lecherous scam artist and Eric is no different. People eventually feel bad for the little butterball and yield to his ridiculous demands and so he hasn't learned how to mature to receive the rewards that are being withheld from him.

As a recent Sirius subscriber with no prior Howard experience, I know even less about HPE than I do about EtM, and I always got the idea that HPE was a genuinely nice guy with a great sense of humor about his condition and status on the show (see: the audio clip that's played frequently where someone from the Stern staff calls HPE, he answers, they say "No, miss, I'm looking for Eric." and he dons a false deep accent to "pretend" to be himself), what kind of poo poo has he done to earn ire?

It's got to be frustrating for EtM, yeah, everyone who knows him from the show just wants to gently caress with him and it's entirely his fault with his incredible and amusing reactions but he got dealt an awful awful hand in life and would have amounted to approximately one tenth of nothing had he not amused Howard to such a degree, and he probably feels fame, or at least a much better station in life than he could have ever gotten on his own, is just outside his grasp if people would just take him seriously. He now feels entitled to some sort of superstar acting career which in all fairness Howard could easily grant him but why the gently caress would you?

Youtube is failing me this morning, but HPE has done things like get limousines by referring to himself as "Eric from the Howard Stern show" and then never paying. Same for having caterers bring him food, and I think he might have also gotten Yankees tickets using this approach.

Jon Arbuckle: Master of pleasuring women

If I remember correctly, HPE has scammed a metric poo poo ton of people, including stealing credit cards and maxing them out, then pretends to be retarded when caught. And he's definitely threatened to kill at least one woman. Oh and he acted super nice to a neighborvof Gary's who ad a fan, got his phone number, and started harassing the guy every day to pay his cable bill.

High Pitch is a terrible person. He is foul. He makes me gag when he talks. I think he has stopped being really terrible after his mom died, I haven't heard much from him lately, but maybe that is just because Langford isn't on the case.

I wonder if HPE has some sort of GI issues? He does that odd hiccup/dry heave thing almost everytime he's on air. It sounds like he's always on the verge of vomiting.

EEO got banned from the building but not from anyone related to the show and he did the show a handful of times after. I wonder if they either got tired of doing a street interview or if something else came up and they decided it best just to remove themselves from Offen's life.

To be fair, The Elegant One is just not the same when it's a man-on-the-street interview. Get him into the studio for quality radio.

Ah, had not heard he was banned from the building. Last I heard of him he was up on manslaughter charges, thought they'd dumped him as a result of his legal troubles but had never heard an update on what happened to him.

He was hilarious but at the same time ridiculous and aggravating.

Elliot is the best because he's so scary. HPE is a gross leech, EtM is a club footed retard, Jeff is a dopey drunk; most people in the Wack Pack are weird but relatively harmless. Elliot on the other hand is someone who scares the poo poo out of me just watching him in the studio.

So now David Spade is tweeting Eric again saying that he and John Stamos will send Eric to legoland if he flies with balloons. Eric is so thrilled to be acknowledged by celebrities he proceeds to roll with the punches for exactly one tweet before reverting into permanent capslock meltdown mode.

Why is he so incredibly touchy about the gay thing, more than anything else. He mustve gotten it a lot growing up. Well, "growing" "up".

My theory is that he's lived a pretty sheltered life, and never had the experience of being around people who were different from him, being weirded out by their habits, and then getting over it.

Unrated Memoir? I got a rating - 0.0 June 18, 2013
By Christine's Emotional Friend
Format:Hardcover
Why is this women writing an autobiography? Because she is a fourth rate personality on a second rate radio show? Even when Howard Stern was good and had listeners, we didn't want autobiographies from their lower tier on air personalities. Did anyone want a a Grillo autobiography? Or Gay Rich? Or Gangi?

Lisa G is one of the least interesting cast members of a pretty boring cast of Stern Show cast members. I think I would rather read a book by Jason Kaplan on how he sits at home all day and smokes weed while his wife shaves his back than a page of Lisa G's book.

Writing is not great, but terrific recipies! June 18, 2013
By Nervous Mark
Format:Hardcover
It is true that this book is not well written, but some of the recipes are great! Two of my favorite recipes are as follows:

Zoo Za Zoo Berry cookies. I always said these cookies were gifted, but I could never figure out just how much, until I tried them! One bite, and you too will be shouting Zoo Za Zoo!

Ostrosky Oat Cookies: You will see from the pictures in the book, this is an unusual recipe! Lisa G has photos in the book which show how she shaped these cookies into a horse's face, your kids will love them! They are made from oats, carrots, sugar cubes, bits of red carpet frosting, and Marbles brand fudge. A treat for the whole family!

I can't recommend this book, as it reads as if it was written by a particularly slow 8 year old, but the recipes are worth trying out. You'll thank me later!

These are great. :thumbsup:

It's all a cash grab anyways. The only people I want an autobiography from have done theirs and that's Howard and Artie. Gary's biography isn't interesting but a memoir of his time on the show would probably be fantastic. Robin's was likely 75% lies with only the molestation story propping it up and Fred is boring and nobody cares about his Martian life.
