Yeah, I always have to remind myself that Howard was not an only child and has a sister.

It seems to be the one thing he barely acknowledges which I'm sure is because she had a normal relationship with Ray and Ben.

From what Howard's said (so who can say how accurate it is), his sister hates public attention (so she was a-okay with Howard taking all if it) and their father liked her more than Howard. Their mother liked Howard more, and his sister would have huge fights with their mother.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
As far as I know he and his sister get along well. She appeared here and there in the very, very early New York days and they mostly just reminisced over their mom driving them insane with her neurotic behavior.

There's a clip that used to be(or maybe still is) out there where she and Howard fight over I think it was US Open Sores tickets.

Yeah, Howard's sister has definitely been on the show before, and has called in since at least the Sirius years started.
They actually seem to have a pretty normal relationship.

I used to date a professional hypnotherapist, so I know a lot about how it works. As soon as Howard mentioned it, I knew that Sal was going to be the ultimate subject. Sal did not disappoint, although he definitely demonstrated the limits of his creativity.

Seriously how the gently caress does he not even mention these guys who were with the show over twenty years? The last guy to leave the show was Langford and Howard at least gave some mention to that, and Langford was only there for a few years.

I think it's pretty clear that once you are off the show, Howard is done with you, regardless of the circumstances.

The show was funny when Stuttering John was on it. The "Artie Era" popularity is simply holdover from the shrapnel residuals of John's true and unrecognized abilities as the one of the great all time poo poo-stirrers.

I disagree about Artie not being funny without John or John remnants, but I totally agree that John was great for the show. I'm listening to a bunch of old episodes and John was fantastic for the show. I'm surprised how many fans hated/hate him even before the Jay Leno poo poo. Besides Howard and Artie, John was the best part of the show.

Stuttering John was very, very good for the show. But in his last few years, he became incredibly obnoxious.

Artie was once ranked as the most popular person on the show when he was there.

I think plenty of people found Stern in the Artie Era and enjoyed it due in large part to Artie himself. Artie's provided some of the best, funniest, saddest, craziest moments in the history of the show.

Title Text goes here.
The biggest tonal difference between then and now is that Howard is basically revered and feared by virtually all of the staff. It's really uncomfortable to hear them wanting to respond but afraid to do so. Instead of saying what should be said, they give a feeble half-fight or sometimes just collapse and grovel.

Today I heard Howard berating Bababooey for wanting to protect someone on "his team." In response, Howard was basically saying, "You have no team. It's my team. I'm the boss. It's my show."

This lecture was so tone-deaf, and begged for Gary to call him out on how whenever anything significant happens (people aren't paid enough, Artie attacks Teddy, KC goes crazy and gets fired, an entire department is shut down and everyone laid off...) Howard is quick to explain that he's just one of the guys working for the company like everyone else, he's just a guy talking on the radio, it's not his fault or problem.

It would have been awesome to force him to reconcile these two Howards, but I can't even picture any of the current crew having the sack to call him out like that.
