I think Eric genuinely believed, no matter how often he was informed otherwise, that pro wrestling is real. When Kurt Angle made him "an honorary member" of the main event mafia, like he started making youtube videos about why wasn't he hired to go to shows and manage wrestlers. He was telling Kurt like "I WILL BE...THE BRAINS...AND YOU WILL...BE THE BRAWN...I WANNA TAKE DOWN...IMMORTAL...AND GET DIXIE CARTER...BACK...AS THE PRESIDENT OF TNA..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EchWm1tR0rM Look at this little nutjob. "LET ME...JOIN YOUR SIDE...". Like he had no idea that these guys are out doing carefully choreographed moves made to look painful but keep them safe. These dudes get together after shows and drink beer together. They travel on the same buses and shoot the poo poo, then put on leotards and facepaint and pretend to yell at each other in scripted comic book events for the amusement of kids and menchildren.

I often wonder what would have happened if Bubba's crew got access to Eric. I can't think of anything more funny/terrifying then Eric in some Tampa strip club.

Jackie's stupid pants were Zubaz, right? I never was around to here them I guess name the pants(great name, always cracks me up for some reason) and have a discussion on them it was always just something Howard said in passing and I never saw a pic of him in them.

YeahTubaMike posted:The only funny bit Johnny Fratto was responsible for was the "You know what to do" thing. Remember the bit where Eric was like "I hate Christmas, now buy me a phone?" I think that was probably peak Fratto. Oh poo poo. Just shows I need to listen to some more ETM goodness. kylej posted:Johnny Frato is comedy kryptonite. Only when he thinks he's putting on a bit. The times Eric ratted out his Ambien addiction was pretty hilarious. For someone who thought he was the ringmaster, Fratto really did go through some hell when dealing with the midget.

That's right, I felt so bad for Eric after that. What kind of a person uses an emotionally stunted midget to further their porn career? I just finished the Complete Artie Lange Addiction Saga and in the last pack where they talk about Artie's suicide attempt they say they knew who leaked it it to TMZ But they never said who. Does anyone know who it was? It seems like a Ralph thing to do but I think Howard would have been insanely pissed at him if they had.

Mayday! Mayday! I always thought that the Eric ad Kendra thing was bullshit but because they were both in on it and just doing it for air time. It made the "I want....to...do the thing...that Howard er...said..I want to...play the field. But when I saw...her face...I couldn't help...but smile." breakup make more sense to me I guess.

Yeah, this is one of those questions a monk could go sit in a garden and ponder for 14 hours a day for a decade. Eric is a little rear end in a top hat, but what a hosed up thing to do. She's a professional pretty looking nekkid girl, she is entirely well aware the power her beauty would have over an emotionally stunted love-starved little turkey like Eric. I mean its on par with getting someone addicted to meth and then just loving off to leave them alone with their problems.

There was so much of life he never got to experience, he could only observe from the outside. He would never get a girlfriend, couldn't walk, couldn't drive, etc. I think he genuinely believed Kendra was his actual girlfriend and it must have crushed him to find out the truth. In the end he couldn't even hump his bed because his heart couldn't take the stress. His whole life was WWE and Dianna Digarmo.

In the end he couldn't even hump his bed because his heart couldn't take the stress. His whole life was WWE and Dianna Digarmo. He never even realized the truth, though. When he returned to the show, he reacted to the Kendra question by saying "She blew it. She stopped responding to my calls and texts, so she blew it". As if he was the prize she failed to win. And then less than six months later he lost his virginity at the bunny ranch and was immediately convinced the whores were in love with him. God bless those women for being the salve on the Kendra wound. Whores love you as much as pro wrestlers are really undead zombies fighting ultimate warriors. He was just a hand-crafted perfect target of poo poo entertainment. I am re-listening to Eric 2010 and wow he blew a lot of opportunities that year. Probably more than any other year. As many opportunities as Stern got him that he took, he hosed up a shocking amount. I'm still glad the little guy got what he got.  But the $10,000 question is this. Would you give one year of your life...say, the last year, which might be a tortuous year in elder care or whatever. Would you give it up for Eric to have another 15 years, and its all on the radio (at the quality level of Eric 2007)? I would. For real, Eric has given me more hours of entertainment than any band or comedian or author I can think of, and it has high replay value.

I get that ETM had a hard life but he was a really miserable person. He didn't want some girl on american idol to win because she was a single mother and illiterate. I don't give a poo poo if you're handicapped, that's just a lovely life view in general. He was also really homophobic, ordered a hit on some dude, and stalked girls. As Artie said, do you know how big of an rear end in a top hat someone has to be to be disliked when they have that type of disability?

My first job out of college was a soul crushing cubicle job and the unquestioned highlight of each day was when Howard would say "Eric the Midget you're on the phone." This was in 2007 when ETM was firing on all cylinders, and I knew the next 45 minutes would be the best part of my day.

Bless transmodiar, the goon who archived those Eric calls 2006-2009, because I have listened to them each probably almost 500 times. My wife even used to joke that having my iPod was so stupid because all I listened to was Eric and the newest Stern shows and no music. Too many moments to mention. Zero point zero. The Playboy Radio call to Bridget. "You know what to do." 750 ba-woooons (balloons). Artie and his "take cares". gently caress. I am gonna splurge again and re-listen now!

I love relistening to the packs, seeing a 35-50 minute long mp3 of a call, and it usually starts with "Eric the Midget, quickly, I only have a minute" just to piss him off. Then he'd waste 5 minutes bitching about the call being short, and then off to the races yet again.

Take care, brush your hair. Bye, that's great, bye. The best part of Eric was Artie wailing on him and how much he pissed everyone off. He really was a grubby little insane monster that didn't operate in the normal world. Fred hated him, like so much so he would talk about it.
