I believe that the reason that Howard is so uncomfortable talking about Artie, and is unlikely to have him back on the show, is because he's angry at him. Most people who have a suicidal friend or family member experience this kind of anger -- it's an entirely natural reaction, something along the lines of "How could you be so selfish and put us through all this pain?" -- but it fits exceptionally well with Howard's personality. Also, he's castigated himself on the air a number of times for having been so gullible as to believe Artie's explanations about being "tired" or "sick" when he would nod off on the air or just not come in. So there's probably some guilt and anger around that, too. Basically, what I'm saying is that Howard might want to take a break from talking to his psychiatrist about his mother and work through his feelings about Artie instead.

Skitz posted:Wait, what? I must have totally missed that. Hmmmm... two regular listeners don't remember this? poo poo. I remember he gave the infection excuse the first few times his dad's death came up, but one day Howard started prodding and poking as he does, and the truth came out. Artie's dad made a point of saying goodbye to him the night he died, which is pretty clearly suicidal behavior, and there were some other pretty obvious clues, too. Artie made a big show of, "gee, I just figured this out for the first time ever!", which felt very much like denial to me. I'm sure ONE of you can find the clip. EDIT: Found it in two secs, it's part of the story of the home health aide pulling poo poo out of his dad's rear end. While it's true in this case, it always grates on me to hear Artie refer to someone as a "Saint". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJxk4mmbBhQ EDIT: Now that I've listened through, it's not quite how I remember it. His mom said it was suicide from the start. Squashy Nipples fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Oct 12, 2013 |

Squashy Nipples posted:Hmmmm... two regular listeners don't remember this? poo poo. I definitely remember a back and forth with Howard where Artie admitted that his dad asked to see him and more or less said goodbye to him, then died the next day. I can't remember if it Artie ever conclusively admitted, "Oh yeah, it was suicide," or if it was just sort of the obvious conclusion everyone drew. Also I'm pretty sure at some point Artie discussed his father asking him to help commit suicide. I remember this less clearly though.

Hi Eric, I got a question about last nights American Idol. Yes? How big's yer midget penis?  Richard is too goddamn funny for his place on stern. Whatever the gently caress Richard does after Stern quits, if it has a price I'm paying it. Tom Leykis is charging $10-15 for access to his online only podcast; Richard just saying "Heeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy!" in the opening to a tradio call is funnier than that by a mile.

He used to send people poop or something, or he ate it or whatever, but the dude is mental and you can't control him and in short bursts he is great but unless he is directed, he gets a bit weird sometimes.

I'm pretty sure Sour Shoes got a show once right? I remember it bombing. He did Ferrell and his song covers but it just didn't turn out well. My favorite moment of the show since Artie left is when Sour Shoes came in as the house band. ...That and the Howard not resigning Sal prank.

Yeah, I seem to remember the short time he was the house band and Howard remarked that they hadn't planned for all the musical equipment he tried to bring in, like he had several guitars and a giant keyboard and they just had not set up for him at all.

Today on Eric the Actor news: Eric blows up over twitter at a cunning troll sporting the handle "FuckEric5" (presumably FuckEric1-4 were taken already), and of course treats the man like he has a legitimate concern and is not blatant trollbait. I'd link it here but I'm on my phone.

"SHUT THE gently caress UP YOU PATHETIC STUPID-rear end WORTHLESS BITCH. I DO NOT THROW TANTRUMS YOU DUMB BITCH. gently caress OFF NOW!!!!" Eric is pretty amazingly dense. Appears somebody is calling him out on his kickstarter (or Johhny Fratto's) to get Eric and Jeff the Drunk money for their sag fees. Something about how you can't accept income if you are on SSI or whatever.

There's a Kickstarter to get them money for SAG fees? That's maybe one of the worst uses of charity I've ever heard of and that's saying something. That's pathetic and gently caress them both for trying to milk people out of money for some poo poo like that.  100% OK with this guy's course of action. e: holy poo poo someone made a troll account of ETM and is responding to the same people tweeting at Eric, it's creating hilarious confusion.

At a certain level it almost becomes sad because despite what an entitled little poo poo he is, Eric clearly has to have some sort of mental illness to be this astounding dense toward obvious trolls. It really requires no effort whatsoever to have him personally respond to you on twitter addressing every concern you may troll him with, such as whether he is half unicorn or was ever engaged to Donald Trump. He can't be firing on all cylinders.

And because he can't fight physically, he fights via Twitter, and has to fight back at everyone who attacks him.

It's especially bad because a week before Sal ever mentioned anything about psychics, Robin told Howard she believed that some psychics had to be legit and Howard flipped out. Now she piles on like she never said it.

Has anyone ever compiled a list of people who have been exiled from the show, and why? Artie's gone, I think I read somewhere that Gary Garver was banished, but what about other former regulars like Reverend Bob Levy? Was he banished formally or is he just not considered that good a guest anymore? Who else is gone?

"HOWWWWARD, how can you deny a fastidious feast for the eyes and ears of men and women that is my body? A prime, plump, perfect posterior perfected by a perfect prolific diet of prunes, pears, and peaches putting most women's to shame? Can you deny that my body is sexy? Can youuuuuuu?!?" What kind of sexual loving hangup did he have that he was constantly comparing his body to a woman's?

Elliott was banned from the Sirius building for being Elliott. They still continued to have the football draft/bets with him over the phone with Gary, Fred, and Angry Alice until the season was over. Eventually they topped having him on because since he couldn't be in studio, you kinda lost the whole things that he was.
