Wow, make sure you check your Sirius renewal statement. I've been paying 12.99 a year for internet only, and the renewal bill was for $204.88, $14.99 a month plus a $25 "US Music Royalty Fee". The renewal was going to be automatic, too. gently caress them. When I called and demanded last years price, I got a bullshit runaround, so I canceled.

12.99 a year? How in the hell? Did that include Howard? What is the cheapest way to get a car + streaming now? I am about to get a new car and I am probably going to subscribe again.

CortezFantastic posted:http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/dee-snider-howard-stern-friendship/ Yeah, that's worse than I remembered; Howard is just a douchebag about everything. "Why didn't you invite Dee and Suzette to the wedding?" "Oh, I forgot." Also, this: Stern, years later in 2006, eventually admitted he was upset with Snider over his decision to compete against him, conceding that while he gave Snider his blessing to take the gig, he felt his one-time friend “should have just known better” than to ask.

The general hypocrisy that has surrounded the last 12-15 years of Howard's life is nothing short of phenomenal. The man became everything he grew up hating, it's absolutely remarkable.

Speaking of that, I swear Howard has had some pretty substantial work done to his face recently. https://instagram.com/p/7q1_m-DCIA/?taken-by=sternshow Maybe I'm crazy, but it looks like his eyes and cheeks are different. Looks good for his 60s either way.

Sasquatch! posted:I'm assuming that it's just Howard's neurosis? Who knows. The funniest part in that podcast is that after the third time that Howard "dumped" Dee, Dee's wife was like "You are not befriending this guy again after the third time, he's like a woman!" Well Howard goes into this in his book about this stuff. The guy has severe OCD which is barely treated. He has been going to a shrink for decades now with no real improvement, which if he was my shrink I would have fired him long ago. Like every falling out Howard has had the person on the other side generally tried to do the right thing. I mean hell Dee offered to give the guy 10% in which he was not obligated to do in the least. Howard is a coward, petty and self obsessed. He has no idea how to really deal with issues, feelings or life. You see this came from his upbringing in which neither of his parents seem exactly "warm" and that era of people generally never dealt with their issues openly. His marriage seemed to have fallen apart mainly because he could not deal with the real issues in his personal life. I have always felt that he has thought that if he was successful and made money that he would be a good husband. "I provide for you, what else do you want out of me!?" I think the persona he portrayed on the radio was everything he wished he could actually be; confident, open, honest, etc. I think his life now is just a way to cope with the way he is. Beth is a trophy wife who will take care of him but as long as he has money and success she is happy with him. He has celebrity "fake" friends which is easier for him because he doesn't have to deal with actual friendship or real life issues with them. They can meet up, have dinner or whatever and bullshit. It is the Sweet and Low of friendships. Hell the show is now even easy as he has disengaged mostly; low hours, he isn't dealing with office issues anymore, easy fluff interviews. Howard doesn't have to struggle or work at anything anymore. He has enablers all around him.

I have always felt that he has thought that if he was successful and made money that he would be a good husband. "I provide for you, what else do you want out of me!?" He's so driven by success that this is what it boils down to in the end. It's not a bad quality to have but when it's an obsession instead of a motivator it makes you a greedy, lovely person. Everything for him relates to money and it's a huge reason why he re-upped with Sirius, did AGT, etc. He has an ungodly amount of money and it's not enough for him and nothing ever will be enough. I remember listening to Richard show off his chops for the first time and Howard's words on it were "he got really good and not many other people can do what he does but he made no money doing it". The idea of someone perfecting their craft but not making millions of dollars isn't a foreign concept to him, it's a loser's concept. Another great example is when fans wrote letters and railed on him for how he acted to the staff during Sandy and his default reply for everyone is "they're losers working a lovely job at McDonalds, they don't know what real work is". And yea, you're absolutely right about being a provider. It's at the forefront of how he described himself as a husband and a father on the show. Fred and Gary were notoriously better parents than him but his defense was always "my wife and kids have everything they ever wanted, I'm a good provider". I won't blame the provider stuff entirely on him, though, that's just how he was raised.

I have been listening to a giant pack of Howard's parents clips and especially in the more recent years it gets very telling into where a lot of psychosis came from. For instance when Howard was a kid he would go with his father to work and see his father kiss the rear end of every client in the recording studio. The exact kind of interaction he craved from his father. So he felt that he had to become a successful broadcaster to gain his father's love.

Right, and meanwhile, the actual truth was that Ben Stern HATED most of those broadcasters who's asses he was kissing. Young Howard couldn't tell the difference.

I think the most telling thing about Stern is how bitter he's been about Stuttering John leaving - you'd think he would be excited that a fellow co-worker of 10+ years would land a better paying job. Instead, we all listened to him bitch for 5+ years about Jay and John. I can't wait - you know he's not going to set-up the entire Stern crew with jobs after he ends the show. He expects extreme loyalty from his co-workers, but isn't willing to give anything in return.

The best part is when he got the program director job for $250 a week. Given inflation that's more like $50k/year at its most conservative estimate but using other sites(http://www.measuringworth.com/m/calculators/uscompare/) his economic power was that of someone making $82k/year today. So yes, that $96/week wasn't much but he also worked only 24 hours a week and that salary lasted about 6 months until he got the promotion. He kept that job and salary for well over 2 years(the movie makes it seem like he lasted no time as program director) and his next job at WCCC was for the same salary. The guy spent like 6 months of his adult life not making more than enough money to life comfortably but man he rails on that $96/week stuff like he needed welfare to help get by and was scratching and clawing for years until he got the big WNBC break.

One of the reasons he refused to give Jackie more money is because people weren't coming to Jackie with bigger offers. Unless you could force Howard to give you more money, he would never give you anything.

Er, let's be clear here RE: Jackie. Howard saved Jackie's rear end multiple times from getting canned by Tom. I'm working through the complete year of 1994, and even back then Jackie was barely keeping his job because he was such a monumental pain in the rear end about money. In fact, in the show I just finished, Howard talks about how he had to have a private negotiation with Tom and the other higher-ups to convince them to keep Jackie around, because they were so pissed off at Jackie for writing a formal resignation letter (signed by his wife Nancy of all people) to try to squeeze them. The only between difference Jackie in 1988, and Jackie in 2001, is that Howard was sick of defending Jackie.

Hahaha, so I'm doing content review (tagging, really) for Redtube right now, and what should appear but the bathtub scene from Private Parts. It was set to 'threesome' (because of Fred), but I actually have to tag it as 'couple', since it's only the woman (Melanie Good) and Howard touching.

Because, at the time (and things are timeless with Stern at just the right moment), he got the best gig one could ever get: a stuttering hack who worked minimally to get a 7 or more figure income. He is now that hack with AGT. He is very bitter about the hard work he has put in to get famous, but not the mass appeal praise. Personally, I would not care if some obese housewives out of Wyoming did not like me, but evidently he does. I always found it funny when he would criticize Rodney Dangerfield or Regis for their late-entry into show business and being workaholics doing whatever, yet he was the same individual - he really wasn't a known name until he was almost forty (1993). Remember, kids: when you get "gently caress-you money", you owe no one nothing. This goes for anyone and anything.

I read that recent radar online article where he just brazenly throws Benjy under the bus. He is so self centered and delusional that he's claiming that Benjy only got his writer job as some ploy by Howard's agent to put pressure on Jackie. But if you listen to his early years as an intern, everyone compliments Benjy for being a talented hard worker that comes up with good ideas (and seriously why else would you put up with his schtick if he wasn't good at his job?). But nope, everyone is out to get Jokeman, it can't be because of genuine talent. The article pisses me off because it's so hypocritical. Jackie is exactly the kind of backstabbing, show-sabotaging scumbag that he accuses everyone else of being. Take for instance the underhandedness of declaring himself head writer over Fred, who had been with Howard longer and was loyal to him without any headaches. When his contract negotiations with the station broke down, he'd do difficult prima donna poo poo like refusing to let the E! cameras film him for the show or simply refusing to show up to the job and leaving everyone in a lurch. Tom was right to give Jackie the boot and he only has himself to blame.

Well, unofficially (or officially?) if someone claims copyright, we investigate and then probably take it down. Otherwise, we don't really do anything, because holy poo poo, what a hassle to keep our eyes out and follow up on all of that. Rarely do we get an entire Hollywood film, so we usually take action when that happens. Iron Man is a popular upload.

He signed with Sirius without giving K-Rok a chance to make any counter offer, it was all done behind closed doors without Les Moonves or Tom being aware of it and he didn't reveal it until after the contract was signed. In some cases it is even worse as he moved on to a competing station (despite Howard's claims to the contrary) and spent a year promoting it on their airwaves.

Jackie is almost certainly right about Benjy being a Buchwald idea. The only person of the main 5 not represented by him was Jackie and honestly if Jackie was with Buchwald he likely would have gotten the raise he asked for and you'd have never heard about contract discussions. Jackie being cheap and not wanting to give 10% to an agent quite literally cost him millions of dollars.
