I've never heard of them either but I also observed while living in NYC that people tend to get super insulated in their little tribe's location and if you never leave your own neighborhood (which no one does because it's too much of a hassle) you probably have no idea that not everyone is <whatever ethnicity happen to surround your apartment>.

Hell, when I lived in Astoria, Queens (greeks, italians, russians, nondescript 'whites') , no one had any loving idea what 'bratwurst' were.

Nope, Jamaican meat pattie talk.



Gary is hardly a pinnacle of PC behaviour. Just listen to his homophobic rant against Elliot Offen, or the story about how he got his rear end kicked in high school for calling a black kid a friend of the family.

Oh man, I totally wish ETM was alive now because I just found out that the wife of the Orlando nightclub shooter went to Eric's HS.

rear end in a top hat I DID NOT CAUSE A MASS MURDER BECAUSE THE RAMP WAS ALREADY BUILT WHEN I GOT TO THE SCHOOL.

I think my favorite part is you know if Eric was alive people would absolutely be tweeting at him about joining IS or something. It's not even a slight leap to think so, it would 100% happen.

Meh, "slightly racist" might have been a better choice of words. It wasn't bad, or blatant, it just came off weird.

I'm curious to here your thoughts after listening to it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Booey were offended by non-"Italian" food being served at a pizzeria. They should ask Sal what he thinks -- better chance of getting an honest reply.

Yeah, this is pretty much what it was. He even referred to "those foods" without irony.

Hey all, saw 10+ new posts, thought Marci Turk raised ETM from the dead as a super zombie and rode him around the studio disemboweling the entire staff live on the air before leveling an entire city block in an attempt to enforce the new dress code.

I was just thinking - I think this thread is going to long outlast the actual show once Howard finally does retire. Those who do have the talent and ambition to stay in the entertainment biz will need someplace to go. The question is where can any of these people go make a good wage and not end up an embarrassing youtube failure ala Stuttering John?

Gary will be almost 60 when the show ends (if it ends this time), he'll probably retire. Robin and Fred will no doubt retire as well. Ronnie will probably still drive for Howard so he'll be fine although given how well Howard likely pays and the fact he has his own company he could probably retire now anyway. Scott, if he's not gone, could probably just go to another station if he wanted but he's also nearing retirement age. Richard could end up doing a variety of things. He could probably be a drum instructor or something, who knows. He has the most options and possibility.

JD, Jason, and Will will probably find similar jobs at other places, just cube work. Sal is likely in serious trouble.

Sal has calmed down, so I bet he could get a writing gig. Nothing like Kimmel or anything, but I could see him writing on Adult Swim shows and the like. Ronnie said last week he will retire when the show ends. Really it is the back office folks that don't have the history on the air that will be kinda screwed.

Former Human

Do we even know who half of the back office guys are or what they do anymore? There are a lot of writers/producers who aren't given any recognition or air time unless they're doing a character or something, people like Mike Trainor, Steve Nowicki, and Chris Wilding (Lee King Snatch). They could easily start their own show or podcast after Howard retires or dies on air like Imus.

I lived on Long Island for a long time and had no clue what high pitch was talking about until he described them....I dont remember ever seeing them in Suffolk County and anytime I went into the city(Midtown mostly) I never saw them at a pizza place...maybe its a borough specific type of thing :shrug:

By the way, Ronnie is already effectively retired. He hasn't had his limo business in a long time, he basically just drives Howard for fun and air time.

Ronnie still owns the business. He doesn't drive on weekends anymore.

He still picks up Howard on show days.

I've told this story before, but a 'friend of a friend' who is a huge fan was one of the EMTs who got the call when Artie stabbed himself. He later said that of ALL the ways he thought Artie Lange might bite it, stabbing himself in the belly was not one of them.
