Name a pop band and he can tell you the exact moment when they went from being a pop band to the band that we all know and remember them for.

Kennedy, Karen Duffy, Daisy Fuentes... all these names I haven't heard in years. Wasn't there some book that was discussed on the show about the history of MTV from launch until the 90s? Anyone read it?

It's not bad. If you are like me and have vivid memories of the early MTV award shows, like f Madonna doing Like a Virgin and Fartman.

Also some good stories about the contests like Van Halen's lost week and Mellencamp's Pink House.


I also have fond memories of Tabitha Soren and Serena Altschul.

SA used to have a porn subforum and SA user Justin_on_fire claimed annie cruz was his room mate and had AIDs. She bought an account to defend herself and I think FYAD trolled her? I tend to believe it because nobody knew who annie cruz was back in like 2005 or whatever, and I think if it was fake, he woulda faked a pornstar people had actually heard of.

Say what you want but to hear Howard tell it, Gary got tons of tail. Howard rarely throws out a compliment like that but he consistently said over the years what a great life Gary had before he was married.

I also like how they used to reference coke parties on the sly, too, specifically in reference to Gary. Looking like John Oates and having blow was probably the biggest pussy magnet in the 80s.

That and being the producer of NYC's most popular show sure had something to do with it.

I had friends that worked in radio (not NYC) in the 80s and 90s and even working in small mid western markets would easily get you the attention of the opposite sex. Usually the girls were only around for swag, tickets, backstage access at shows, etc. but when you're 25 and have no interest in being tied down, there are worse things.

This so much. When Artie tells the story about calling Gary on behalf of his book publisher to ask about having an ad appear on the show and he describes how Gary super smugly told him, "Yeah, it's not gonna happen", that just fits the "evolved Gary" so perfectly.

Listening to the last show of 2007, 12/13/07, and at the very end during Robin's News there's a story about Donald Trump being sued by one of his beauty pageant victims for sexual harassment and wrongful termination.

Also, secret santa gifts are handed out, Robin got wind chimes from some $9/hr guy on the tapes team and they destroy him and the gift and it's fantastic.

Show also features some unbelievably godawful christmas carols sung by Howard & Beth that I've never heard again since.

Them singing as a joke or them actually trying? Either one sounds awful.

This is one of my favorite segments they've done on the show since it went to Sirius. Gary refusing to admit that the stools were a poor idea, even after he says that he didn't want to sit on them when they had guests over... it's top notch Gary is a Dummy material.

The Gary ball busting is maybe my favorite part of the show.

Theyre part of the bar/ high table area. Gary shouldnt admit he was wrong. They fit the area they are in.





Garys right on this one and Howard is dumb and wrong.

Except that Gary says in that segment that his wife made him sit in the stools when they had company over and he was like, "Why should I sit in the stools? It's my home theater, I want to sit on the comfy chairs."

I love when they have "poo poo on Gary" bits even when Howard is completely wrong.

I'm in total agreement with Gary staying home to be with his family during the hurricane. I also agree that the bar stools are fine for the home theater.

It's still great when they poo poo on him about those things.

The longer I see them the more I think Howard is right. They're stupid additions that serve no real purpose. Gary bought them and didn't want to use them, it doesn't get any clearer than that. If that bar was really functional then maybe I could see it but it's just 2 lovely seats that remind you that you're in the lovely seats. He could have just put in another couple of seats or a full couch in the last row.

He slowly turns the room on Gary, too. Artie initially tries to stay neutral because he realizes what Howard is up to but by the end of the bit he's making fun of Gary as well.

I remember when George Takei was talking about internment camps and Howard said after 9/11, he was all for bringing them back for Muslims

He didn't sound like he was kidding.
