I'm not even an actor and have never really had any aspirations to be, and it was genuinely infuriating to hear Eric turn down parts like that. I think all of two times during the Eric pack does he get called out for it. Once by a struggling actor on the phone and once by Takei. Hell, I'd take some voice over work if it literally fell in my lap like that. I'd loving read Mein Kampf aloud if it was going to be part of some Adult Swim show. Actually I just realized Eric was getting lectured by a dude who had been a closeted homosexual in a much less forgiving time for refusing to play gay parts.

I love how Eric's wildest fantasy dream job was playing Charlie from Charlie's Angels. Only the angels were American idol stars. He really was mentally ill.

Takei gets him a couple times but that one time he was very brutal about it and told Eric immediately that he wasn't a real actor, which is absolutely true.

Looks like Howard's buddy Nick Cannon is quitting America's Got Talent after NBC took exception to some of the content of his stand up special. Where are they going to find another turban-wearing third rate spoken word "artist" to host an aging talent contest??

Benjy just tweeted a 4-shot of his dick.  No, I will not link you to them, you can find them on your own if you're so intent on vomiting tonight. He also has nothing remotely good and worth sharing about his dong.

Probably more the fact that they've been doing it for like 40 years and have a contract that allows them to take lots of time off.

Of course, it's just annoying when you fire up the radio on what is just a random week and hear them replaying segments from a month ago. I'm not offended when they take a whole week off when there is a single, "major" holiday in the week. These random ones suck, and random two week breaks... ugh.

I'm going through the 2001 shows and I just got to the AJ Benza fight. That's good radio. Was that AJ's last appearance ever? For the longest time, it looked like it wasn't going to be that big of a deal. In the first 40 minutes, they were trying to convince John to just punch him one time and then they would be even. That would be the end of it. John wouldn't do it because he said it would be gay to punch a guy just sitting there. Robin was telling them to work through their problems. Trump called in and told John to sue the show. They debated it and debated it for 2 hours. Then finally Howard decided AJ wouldn't be allowed on the show anymore. It sounded like it could have easily went the other way if John had just accepted his apology. Callers said that if John was a real man, he wouldn't hold a grudge. Men fight and then they get over it. I kind of agree. Howard predicted netflix when answering Robin's question about what the point of the internet was. Howard said Lord of the Rings looks bad, he's confused by the popularity of Harry Potter, Rush Hour sucked, he loved Legally Blonde, and he can't wait for Planet of the Apes 2001. 2002 was uploaded already. I would put up 2001 but I only kept all the Artie episodes and a few others.

Howard was so in love with his Italian-macho-tough-guy line of bullshit that he kept showing up more and more and it genuinely looked like he might get the Jackie chair permanently.

AJ had no business being on the show, he couldn't handle it at all. You just saw exactly how much he could take and it was a very minor amount of ballbusting. John did everyone a favor in getting rid of him. Also, he should have been gone. It's some dumb faux alpha bullshit where someone hits another person and they're still allowed to be at the company because they made some half-assed apology because the other guy should "be a man" and not complain. That's a purely retarded line of thinking and the people who think AJ should have stayed probably got beat by their father on the regular so violence was always a part of their sad lives. AJ had to go.

JB50 posted:You could replace AJ with Artie in this post. Except Artie got to stay. Oh absolutely. If Artie had to leave for that I'd never have argued otherwise. It's nuts to tolerate that kind of violence in the workplace for the sake of comedy. You're not going to be able to bury the very real animosity that existed between John/AJ or Artie/Sal/Teddy just because you go "haha entertainment". Honestly, I think Artie's breakdown with Sal was worse than Teddy. some guy on the bus posted:Half way through, that video repeats. Anyone want the whole radio show? AJ was still in there for about 40 minutes after it happened. Those are some really lovely opinions. AJ was never entertaining on his own and he was almost universally despised in the fanbase. Never once has there been an "I miss AJ Benza" post from any Stern fan. The show headed downhill in 2008 when Artie was still there but clearly spiraling downward hard. It's been gone long before Turk became a thing and interesting people were "banned" which, who outside of Gilbert even qualifies for that? You miss Grillo or something? Name like 10 truly entertaining things that happened between 2009-present that didn't involve dead Wack Packers or people still on staff. I hate the show now compared to 10-20 years ago but Turk bans didn't push it that way, it was already there when she took over. Crotch Bat fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Feb 16, 2017 |

It truly was a win-win. Stuttering John got punched and AJ left the show. I wish the whole "John thinks he could be an arena football player" bit had had a more satisfying conclusion.

Robin and John had a very similar relationship to Robin and Jackie and honestly, I think there was some sexual tension in both relationships that gave them their goods and their bads. Given how Robin is, those guys probably had the best relationship with her because if she doesn't care enough about you to occasionally hate you then you basically don't exist in her world. Robin's 34 is very real and there's basically nobody on the show she hasn't butted heads with multiple times beyond just a superficial ball-busting level. She's very fragile, even Howard tip-toed around her (although he did give her a fair share of abuse) and she could snap and be very mean. I think she ignored Jackie entirely once for like 6 weeks or something because of one off-remark Howard made regarding something Jackie had told him. Robin is nuts.

Anything that was said to him, no matter how private, would make its way to Howard. John was one of the few people who would gently caress with Robin, as he knew Howard had his back (due to his status as the office snitch). I bet lots of people were glad to see John get punched, but Robin was the only one who couldn't hide her enjoyment of it.

It really was a cheap shot, though. John really didn't think AJ was that much of a baby that he couldn't handle some phone calls busting his balls over his lovely show, I don't blame him for not expecting the punch because who would? That's not even the most satisfying thing to watch when you want John to suffer. Him being humiliated by Marco Battaglia in the 100 yard dash is great because John had enormous delusions of grandeur related to his physicality. Howard tearing him up for his DJ work was another (he had a job doing a couple hours after the Stern show) because it was something John cared about and Howard just lets him have it and calls him a wanna-be Howard. The best to me, though, was when a new program director was hired and he comes in and fires John from his DJ job on the air. John gets extremely mad instantly and starts lashing out at the guy and then the crew just pile on John for it and it's like 45 minutes of just shredding him to pieces and laughing at him for being fired. Here we go: The race - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-3q5SX98tM being fired - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w33bEk8fGRs sorry I can't find Howard shredding John's DJ work but that's only ever been in video, I've never seen someone just throw up the audio. I actually never found just the audio of him being fired either but that's recent. Kinda sad because John gets visibly frustrated and you can tell he's holding back going off on everyone because he knows the retribution will be worse.
