Weinstein said that he was specifically targeting Howard's audience of men to go see the movie. Which is still stupid, but at least we'll get to hear a bunch of clips on Monday about how relevant the show is because of the news about this amazing NRA movie  Also I totally agree the birthday show is sounding awful. Not just the lame guests, but I'm really getting the impression that the audience will be like .001% fans/contest winners and the rest Important People and random celebrities.

I'm speculating a shout of "I love you Howard!" about once every 10 minutes.

His only skills were throwing people under the bus and reading questions prepared by Howard, Fred, and Jackie yet he still managed to score a record contract, headlined a comedy tour (where he'd get paid more than actual comics despite having only a 15 minute set of his own), and owned two houses during his time on the show. He left the show for an even more lucrative, seven figure contract as an announcer for the Tonight Show. Dude has already made out like a bandit with the meager talent he has, he's pretty much the luckiest guy in show business even if he never gets a subsequent job.

Not really luck, he was just allowed to brandish the Howard Stern name in getting work. Howard didn't clamp that stuff down yet.

Seemed like every shithead boiler room type would call the office to give Gary and John "tips" for years (including Sal). If those walls could talk...

Don't know how I missed this one but yea, solid hour of just slamming Gary around because he let germs into the studio. Howard's still as vicious and amazing at this as when he started when he wants to turn it on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpJVXANjHXA

He was involved in a lot of pump-and-dump stock scams at the time. There's a book on the rise of pump-and-dumps and other stock schemes that were big in the '90s, called "Born To Steal: When The Mafia Hit Wall Street" -- Stuttering John's name comes up in it a bunch of times because they'd use the show to pump the lovely stocks. Years ago, The Smoking Gun had the paperwork for a few lawsuits against the show based on accusations of it. Dunno if they still do and don't have time to go check now.

I'm on a delay again, but just checked in with the John Goodman interview, it's always great to see somebody you like turns out to be a nice guy. He was a big fan of the show too, it was great to hear him get excited about Richard and talk like his dad. It seems most of the celebrity fans always seem to like Richard a lot.

Come to think of it, Howard has had a lot of famous followers of TM on in the last year or so.

Anybody who's a client of Don Buchwald gets on the show, for example.

For the most part, the meditation stuff is mainly a way to clear your minds and focus on stuff, basically take some time to think. Not everyone is paying millions of dollars to have your mother approve of your spiritual friend like Howard does, so it isn't all rich people trying to buy meaning in life.

Kurt Vonnegut took a class in Transcendental Meditation. When he came to speak at my university, he told us all his super-secret mantra word that he had been instructed not to give out. (It was "om".)

Technically the goal is to rid your mind of all thoughts for the duration of the meditation (but not to resist them when they come, just let them pass on through) but yeah. It's an incredibly simple and effective technique and I suggest that everyone looks for the freely available guides that people have posted all over the net. The best ones are on sites decrying it for being a scam.

You're probably going to see a lot more TMs on the show and in general, since it's the only form of meditation currently backed by the American Heart Association for lowering blood pressure. Having a paper with that credential is huge in the medical community. It'll only get more popular as the rate of hypertension cases skyrockets.

I couldn't do it at all, my head is like a dozen hamsters in a squeaky wheel. This is a pretty accurate description of the practice but the ultimate goal is to lose even the mantra and 'transcend' your thoughts. The teachers describe it as going 'deeper and deeper into the pool of thought'. My experience was similar to yours but I gradually experienced more and more periods of mental quiet time as I went on. The first few weeks were definitely a hurdle though.
