That definitely was a Grillo ball busting. Hard to say the exact clip, as goofing on Grillo's accent was a regular event. A youtube search for "goof on Grillo" came back with 1000 hits. Have fun....DOUCHE!

Speaking about catholic school, I've noticed that anyone I talk to who has gone through it pronounces their H's like "hayche". At least in Eastern Canada. Anyone else notice this?

Anyone else notice this? I went to a catholic school in Western Canada, and we don't pronounce it like that. Might be a "closer to French Canada" thinkg? Our "spent time in Europe" principal did pronounce the "hayche", but he also pronounced aluminium "alu-min-eee-um", and not "al-u-min-um" like it's commonly pronounced in NA.

My favorite Grillo moment was when that D-list "producer" wanted to make a TV pilot about young Grillo and his times in his trailer but couldn't even afford the 5 large to pay the lot fees owed on the loving thing. edit: Here's the appearence, the TV show stuff starts up in part 2 (but all four parts are loving gold): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z3ZSFvjzAI Then there's also this incident, perhaps the only time I agreed with Stuttering John's position: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRRL1SBh0Hw haljordan fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Aug 14, 2014 |

That is classic Stern show right there. A group ball busting of Grillo and TONS of John stuttering his way through his arguments. Plus you get Fred's Gange impression.

Kragger99 posted:I went to a catholic school in Western Canada, and we don't pronounce it like that. Might be a "closer to French Canada" thinkg? A few English people say hayche because they're either: a) Posh Eton twats who run the conservative leadership (Boris Johnson, David Cameron, et al) b) wannabe posh Eton twats who cover up their lack of pedigree and educational prestige by saying things like "hayche" Usually it's B, so I would reckon the eastern Canadian private-school thing is leaning towards some sense of colonial validation of the illusion of the suggestion of the hint of being One of The Chosen People of the Olde Country. Bonus: It shows you off as definitely NOT being American, because in Murica I believe you'd get your rear end kicked sayin' something like that, man.

You'd get funny looks here if you pronounced the hayche here too. At least my mom/aunt/sister/gamma (same person) told me how to say dem things right.

Irish Joe posted:If I had to guess, Howard told his Man of the Year story for the 1000th time. He said he had been thinking about how his one interview with Robin back in the WNBC days was poorly handled and he didn't conduct himself properly. He claimed that he was getting ready to reach out to Robin to apologize and then Beth walked in and told him that he had been found dead. Interestingly, Howard says this happened in the afternoon, yet the news didn't break until much later in the evening on the east coast. And then he announced that they are naming their newest kittens "Patch" and "Adams" and that Beth is having a foster kitten giveaway, all in Robin's honor. I made up that last sentence, but come on, you believed it, right? Sand Monster fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Aug 15, 2014 |

No. Howard was the FIRST CHOICE for the part. They only hired Robin Williams after HOWARD TURNED IT DOWN. But, of course, by hiring Robin Williams they had to rewrite the story a bit, which is a shame because HOWARD'S VERSION WAS A-MAZZZZZING. In short, Howard is better actor than Robin Williams.

The best part of that movie by far was Laura Linney's drug-induced freakout in the coffee shop.

I just finished They Call Me Baba Booey and I thought it was pretty good. It gave me new insight into how hard Gary worked to get where he is (always hustling and working multiple jobs even when he was a kid) and what a bad home life he had with his bipolar mother. The chapter about his brother who died of AIDS is really sad. It was a quick read too. It's 300 pages but I read it in six days, which for me is pretty fast. It has some funny stories about the early days of the show and working near Imus and Roz Frank at WNBC. I wish it had more dirt about former members of the show though, like Stuttering John, who is barely mentioned at all. There is one story about what an rear end in a top hat scumbag Artie was on their Afghanistan trip, but for most of the book Gary is nice about everyone. I think it's worth reading if you're a fan, and it only cost me 49¢ so there's that.

Gary does seem like a really down-to-earth, genuine guy. The audiobook of Baba Booey is pretty decent as well, and like most everything Gary does, gets goofed on heavily on the show. My desert island list, boff!

Basically Artie was in full-on meltdown mode because the military couldn't get them a flight out to be home by July 4, so he lashed out at everyone. Gary was filming it all going down at the airport, Artie caught him and called him some pretty harsh things. He said he never saw Artie in that state, and he just felt he wanted to document it but Artie felt he had different motives. I think that was added as a new chapter for paperback, actually. I dunno - it's damned if you do damned if you don't, really. As a fan of Artie, I lost a lot of respect for him with that second book because he told a lot of dark, depressing poo poo that went down circa 2010-2012 only to find out at the end that he was making a fair amount of it up. rear end in a top hat.

I haven't read the book, but in hindsight wasn't it a result of Artie going through heroin withdrawls?

Every time Artie mentions his therapist on the replays I cringe, knowing that everything he's saying is a bald-faced lie. The worst part is that he's so convincing because the made-up details are so elaborate and he knows how to just pepper them into a conversation so they sound casual and forthright.

I won't be coming in today. I'm sick. *cough* Hindsight makes some of those comments either laughable, kind of annoying, or just kind of tragic. Artie's a really funny guy, but his whole story is just sad.
