He, a man who is incapable of moving a laptop or crawling on to a toilet unassisted, threatened to anally rape a fully sized healthy adult female grammy award winning country superstar. Over the assertion that whores might not be in love with him.

This description of the situation made me laugh out loud, because you're right. There was absolutely no part of that threat he could conceivably make good on, and he was 100% in the wrong on all levels.

Crotch Bat posted:

The rape stuff was too lightly played and very hosed up because it wasn't anything even approaching a bit, he was spewing venom when he said those words.

Eric was a terrible human being and I refuse to remember him as anything but.

That's a good point, but I still laughed really hard because the threat was so woefully impotent.

Man the best part was when he was first telling Howard about how he wanted to date one of the American Idol people and Howard said, so you want to have sex with her and he acted all indignant and said, "Stern! That would be up to her, I just want to date her."

He really was delusional

I definitely get that, but unlike Farrell, I'm drawn to ETA because sometimes I do mental gymnastics in trying to figure out how can he possibly think that way/think that's a good idea :psyduck:

Like, he says that he graduated and was really good at math, but then they ask him 9 x 8 or something, and he'll start complaining about how he doesn't like to do math so early on in the day, and that he just woke up. One of my favourite lines was, and maybe it was Artie, 'Could you tell us what time of the day you'll know the answer?"

He just absolutely refused to see that, hey, he's pretty dumb. Sure, he knows some historical facts which makes him seem smart compared to Sal (and Sal's lack of knowledge is a whoooooooole other thing :stare:), but you put the evidence RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF HIM (Eric, you're in your 30s, and you don't know what 9 x 8 is? You can't answer that almost immediately? AND YOU WANT TO RUN A MODELING AGENCY?!) and he just can't get it.

I loved it when they pretended to not hear him, but even more, I love that time when he was going on and on about Hayden Porter, and then Howard obviously is just telling him what he wants to hear and he STILL doesn't get it... I don't know, man, EtA was the grumpy gift that kept on giving. Almost everything he said was a verbal trainwreck, that's the best way I can describe it. I keep listening, because I can't turn away.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:

Didn't the show give him either Degarmo or McPhee's phone number at one point? I remember Gary telling Howard later, on-air, "we told him to call once" or something like that.

I like how they were chastising Eric for being a creep, meanwhile, they were giving out the phone number for a female celebrity to some weirdo fan.

- Eric saw a reality show on TV called "Three Wishes", and one of the participants was a 19 year old girl Eric found attractive. He then used to clues the show haphazardly gave out to send the girl gifts and messages until he was visited by police and told to stop. When this was brought up on the show, Eric's defense was "The show didn't do that good of a job concealing her identity."

I can't place either of these. Any links to the segments of each perhaps?

Neither of those were segments, the first was just him trying to tattle on Hayden because she said something about him and Howard wasn't remotely interested so it ended in 30 seconds. The latter lasted a few minutes but nothing much came of it outside of some light fun at his expense. I *think* the latter happened when they were talking about him calling DeGuarmo too much and someone told Gary the info and he piped up and mentioned it.

If you have Eric collections they're both in the Artie years on satellite but I'd just keep an ear out because they don't really exist as their own things you'll easily find on Youtube.

Yea, he thought he was outing her as a nerd or something. It was lame and Howard correctly decided to move past it quickly.

His exact words were "That bitch needs to be told on". When I said tattle I meant it, he called in to tattle on her because he felt slighted by something she said.

He had to be emotionally 12 his whole life. Remember how he cursed with no real idea how to inject them into a sentence to keep the flow normal?

I'm not entirely convinced they didn't have something to do with it. 39 years of Eric would send someone to a very, very dark place.

Plus the Stern show was a double edged sword for them. On one hand, it gave him something to keep himself occupied and build a following online, but on the other hand, it basically dragged the entire family through the mud repeatedly for years.

Gilbert was on Doug Loves Movies a couple weeks ago and when Ford Fairlane came up Gilbert spent like ten minutes just doing the Dice voice. I was listening to this on the bus and could barely keep myself together.

I didn't loathe them, because some of the greatest moments came from them (zero point zero, Artie saying "Alright seeya buddy," etc), but he does become rather grating in large quantities. I usually tap out of the 4 hour long comps on Youtube with ETM, whereas the ones with Hank I could listen to forever as he's my favorite wack packer of all time.

- Rock n' Roll trivias (vs Gary, Mark McGrath, and John the Stutterer, search for Angry Black vs Cabbie boxing for that one it was the prelude)

- vs Beet

- giving the finger to David Blaine

- first time he was on the show (very drunk, very racist)

- vs breathalyzer tests

A lot of stuff is hard to categorize and was mostly him just arguing with various Wack Packers or callers like other midgets and John the Stutterer but it's all easily found on Youtube.
