I can't imagine Howard is too happy towards the whole situation in general. After all, its his clips that are being used now that everybody is looking into Trump's past. That must be one hell of a situation to be in: 'congrats, you're now getting attention on a national level because the president just showed how big of a freak he is on your show and people are putting together the pieces slowly.' No wonder he's not taking a stance one way or another. Imagine this happening during the talent show days.


Next up: Ronnie Mund leaves Sirius.

Yeah, yeah, whatever, du.

Pretty sure Scott is a health thing. They mentioned a week or two back that he was "not in today" and obviously missed the death pool, so I think he has been out since the break. Last year there was a conversation (can't remember about what) and he mentioned he could use extra cash due to health issues in his household. Howard said he knew what Scott was talking about, but they dropped it there.

Regarding politics, Howard did say last year that he wanted Bloomberg to run so Howard could vote for him over Trump or Hillary.

Yea he got written in a lot. Originally he was just on for the pilot but I guess things went well and according to him he's in almost every episode.

So I'd never seen video of Jackie crapping in the Stanley Cup but I did and boy how far has Howard come since then mentally? So the reality was Jackie didn't crap in it but he did take it to the bathroom and they squirted one of those pudding packs into it. Jackie brought it back in, Howard took the Cup (mind you people have undoubtedly poo poo/pissed in it as well as hosed, eaten, and drank out of or into it) and without hesitation scoops out two fingers worth of pudding and gulps it down.

I'd be somewhat shocked if today's Howard would even touch the Cup much less ever eat something out of there.

Crotch Bat posted:

On a different note it's been known that super agent Don Buchwald hosed up enormously when HTV didn't get renewed but I just learned that it's essentially the reason Howard 360 will never be a thing. What happened is there was a line in the HowardTV contract that said if HTV is not renewed then Sirius immediately takes ownership of broadcast rights and Buchwald missed it and they didn't notice it until it was far too late.

I get an irrational amount of enjoyment out of this, particularly since there's a fair number of shady doings going on over at Buchwald and Associates.

I'm just amazed they let this slip, especially since the last few years of Howard's career have been mostly about getting into a visual medium in some way. Do they work over there or just take vacations like the show does?

Was the HTV money separate from what Sirius was already paying Howard? If so, kind of a dick move to take 90% of the money. No wonder the production values were so crappy.

I'll make a total assumption based off nothing since I'm not an agent but it wouldn't shock me if Buchwald is just the face these days and hasn't read a contract in many years. I'm sure there's a few attorneys or whatever that are probably fired by now whose job it is/was to read these contracts with a magnifying glass and they just glossed over it. Although at the same time that makes the least sense because a younger guy probably doesn't make that mistake but the geezer schmoozing agent does.

Either way you know Howard had to be fuming over it. It was an enormous deal for him when CBS took his tapes so you know he's pissed at losing like 20 years of video.

Yes. Goodstein and others weren't Sirius employees, they were Howard's. Goodstein reported directly to Howard himself.

Ah so all of Howard's "I don't control the money!!" talk was pure bullshit in that case. I feel like an enormous amount of money was wasted overall. I laughed pretty hard when the show first started on satellite and they had like, seven "reporters" on staff. Even paying them peanuts, I'm sure that was a lot of cash overall.

I was listening to an old clip on YouTube and I was wondering if some of the older fans in the thread might know the answer to this -

In this clip, KC gets goofed on because he did a promo that involved the word So Cal and he kept pronouncing it Social - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1fdp-pr8P4

During the promo, KC kept saying he was from "Southern California's number 1 radio show". Howard remarks that they have to say that, because they are not allowed to call it the Howard Stern show. What is all that about?

I don't know about that specifically. I do remember there was some coastal fooforaw about the name "K-rock", because LA's KROQ felt they had a stronger claim to the name than New York's WXRK, and they couldn't say "K-rock" in Stern-show commercials for the LA market.

NPH came in right after and said he thinks it is fake and Howard defended it fully. I'm a skeptic too, but there is no way Ronnie is that good of an actor or would let himself consciously talk about what he did. I for one want happy Ronnie to be a full time studio personality.

Stage hypnotism is 100% fake. There's no secret mumbo jumbo you can say to someone to make them say or do what you want, it's just a complicit act between the hypnotist and the people on stage and it gives people the chance to do stuff that's perhaps out of their norm with the "excuse" that they were hypnotized. You either go along with it or you don't but when people are yanked up in front of an audience they don't want to look like a dick and not do anything so they just go along with it. It's suggestive peer pressure.

I'm pretty sure it's just that Howard doesn't want him promoting his orange county events using Howard's name/the Show even if it's for the radio station he was on in LA.
KROQ was owned by the same company that owned WRXK, it was strictly a top 40 radio station though - Howard was on KLSX (which is what this promo is from.)
