drat I saw a ton of posts and thought Artie had finally died since I was busy as gently caress all day and that's usually how it works, but wow you guys just kicked up the content & chat.
High Pitch as KC Armstrong: "Nice!"


Was listening to an '07 show and Crazy Alice is in the studio and being nice to everyone - even Gay Artie (Arrivederci, cocksucker!)
The Jackie era was really great, but I have to say I think the best years were the terrestrial radio years with Artie because there were more randoms calling in on free radio... and Stuttering John was there along with Gay KC (at the Ramrod Inn, Fort Lauderdale)

There is just a nearly endless amount of content that Howard's created over the years, I'm so glad I kept all my satellite recordings when I was still making them to listen to on an ipod at work (the first 5 years, totally unedited, commercials are a pain if you can't FFWD the mp3) - I wish they'd put out legit "Full Year" sets because I'd buy them in a heartbeat. You could listen to a show a day until you die and probably only have to repeat a couple years worth (fewer if Trump wins)

I just listened to the clip where High Pitch Mike gets called out on air by Steve Langford for not letting him into his apartment. One of the excuses is that Mike's roommate has his kid over there every other weekend.

Did High Pitch ever admit to moving in with an older divorced gay guy? Because that makes more sense as to why High Pitch would want people to think he sold a TV he won rather than letting anyone see his apartment.

Either Howard or Artie actually asked him this during his coming out on the show. Mike said his roommate was straight and their was nothing in his apartment to suggest he was gay.

He probs sold the TV, which was the right move as it's likely worth twenty dollars now. Also every time you watched something on it you'd probably think of Shiobhan's smelly gaping wound that she calls a vagina on your face.

All the old Stern guys that aren't allowed back should make their own show together. Jackie, Artie, Stuttering John, Gilbert, etc..

I am honestly amazed that someone hasn't put this together already. Put it on in NY, PA, NJ and the surrounding area and even if it is bad it would still drive pretty solid ratings. I am sure it would drive Howard insane too. I can just hear his response too; the fake wishing them the best, spinning it as the stations are so desperate to get a piece of the show back that they will resort to this, complain about how no one contacted him before hand, etc. I am sure behind the scenes he would lose his poo poo though which sadly would be his fault.

As much as High Pitch Mike was in denial, he was probably just telling the truth when he said he didn't want Langford and whoever else didn't like him to just snoop around his apartment and pick apart every thing they see for a camera trying too hard to be funny. If you already work with someone you don't like, and now they're asking to ridicule your home for comedic purposes, I'd probably resist a lot as well. What's the upside?

Didn't he flat out say he would have allowed Lisa G. to go into his apartment and film? He just knew they would be assholes about it.

It would be a colossal poo poo show that would probably be fined to hell and cancelled with a month. But what a glorious month it would be. Artie and Gilbert together are great on their podcasts. Racist as hell but great. John and Jackie are awful now. Johns an unfunny drunk and Jackies a spiteful old man that is still upset at Howard for letting him leave 15 years ago.

Not entirely, 3 guys with decades of radio experience and a well known comedian/actor all with a built in and similar following is gold to media platforms. You can't say that Stern made Artie or Gilbert as they were successful and well known before Howard and since, John as much as I hate to admit it was successful outside the show for a long, long time.

Sadly the only one who wasn't is Jackie which I have always wondered if Howard ever interfered with his career after leaving. Jackie should have been able to get a gig as a writer for drat near any comedy television show around at the very least if not had development deals thrown at him left and right since he left at the time when the networks were giving every comedian in the country it seemed like development deals for shows. With the stories of Howard interfering with someone else leaving before, John hiding the Tonight Show gig until the last minute along with Billy West seemingly having a grudge with Howard himself after leaving you can see a little pattern.

So while they have a Stern connection I wouldn't at all see this as getting a piece of the Stern Show back, I doubt it would even be anything akin to the same format. So Howard would be stretching the facts enough to make his own egotistical arguments akin to him bashing Gary or anyone else on the show for receiving or going to things because they are actually his or they are wanting something in return. He never understood that promotional people might want Baba Booey to show up at their movie screening as he is a known person, because of the show granted, but they are using him not Howard. Granted Howard got that way of thinking from his mother and I doubt he will ever change, it is kind of sad really going back and listening to old tapes and realizing where all his issues stem from exactly.

Yeah it would be gold at first, because having a known entity makes a show much easier to market and there may be a (small) built-in fan base. Radio companies are dumb or desperate enough to hire those guys even just as a publicity stunt. It wouldn't be gold for long once the show actually hits the air, since it would be awful. Jackie or Stuttering John on any show outside of Howard... forget it. The Martling and Melendez Show would be too hacky and unfunny for words.

Howard knows how to make his cast interesting and exploit their quirks and characteristics and then move on to another subject. The ancillary Stern Show cast is kept in small doses for a reason. That's also why Howard is so good at interviews. He can take a random stripper or homeless guy off the street and make them interesting for thirty minutes if he has to. Four hours of Joke Hunt or Stuttering John talking about doing whippits would be radio poison.

Artie has talent when he actually shows up for work and puts in some effort, but even then he needs an actual broadcaster to control the conversation and flow of the show. His podcast is usually boring and his two sports radio shows were cancelled pretty quickly. They only lasted 2.5 years combined. Gilbert is hilarious for an hour at a time but I think would get too annoying or repetitive for a full format radio show. All four of those guys really need a professional to predict the interest level of the audience and keep things moving. A "hey remember these guys who used to be on a Stern a decade ago" show would be a trainwreck. I can maybe see a show like that popping up at Sirius after Howard retires when Sal or some other second tier employee runs out of money though.

Let's not forget that Gary and Artie were offered their own radio show by Infinity in 2005. It's not like they got the offer because the company really loved Dirty Work and Gary's knowledge of jukeboxes. It's 100% because of their affiliation with Howard. They were smart enough at the time to turn it down, especially for Gary because Artie ended up imploding a few years later.

I would argue that the show did in fact 'make' Artie. Sure, he was on MadTV, but so was Pat Kilbane, David Herman, and a slew of others who aren't Will Sasso and Alex Borstein (i.e., people who still get recognized and regular work).

I enjoy seeing Ike Barenholtz pop up from time to time. He's good in the Neighbours movies.

EDIT: Different topic, but obviously Robin isn't known for her jokes, but I really enjoy the line she gives when the staff is talking about the Tradio theme song (the Andy of Mayberry theme, I believe). Howard says something like 'If I'm black, and I hear that, I'm getting the hell out of there.' Robin replies 'Yeah, they might want to trade ME.'

Where did you find this, and can we get more? I mean, yes, I'm in full agreement (with what we agreed on, being that we all agree to agree....) that he's terrible, but like a trainwreck, I need to see more.

EDIT: Jesus christ, I am so the opposite of him in these situations, almost to a fault. I've worked retail (department store, like KMart) for years, and the amount of respect I absolutely have to give these people is unwavering. Just because they make less than you Jon doesn't mean that they're garbage, you loving garbage-soulled weirdo. I'd never act like this around anyone, let alone workers there.

I don't know where the gently caress he's going but every fast food place I go to the cashier is not the person who assembles and delivers your food, so continuing to stand in front of the cashier refusing to move to the side is just you being a colossal rear end in a top hat.

The secret to getting diagnosed with diabetes is, first of all, Look for a doctor right away. He or she will be wearing a long white coat, probably a stethoscope. Make sure the stethoscope doesn't have any holes punctured in it. That way, you know it's fresh for you to use. When you tell the nurse you've arrived, don't move to the side. You wait right there, front and centre, to make sure that they deal with you as soon as possible. I'm 6'2" and generally I'm very much taller than those old people with walkers, so it's easy for me.

Next, when they tell you you have diabetes, the first step is not to cry. It's really not so bad, and for most, it's a way to get skinny. You tell those tears to go right back up there, because it's YOU who's in charge of THEM, and not the other way around. Look the doctor right in the eye, and don't lose focus, because the moment you do, he or she will have to leave the room, and you'll be stuck waiting for probably 30-45 minutes, which is time better spent at the drive-thru.

I think it was the 2007 Battle of the Blobs when they were on teams, and Artie sabotaged his team by not caring and actually gained weight some weeks. I know I've seen it on Youtube before, but I think they might have taken it down.
