Can't believe Howard did a 2 hour Kelly Clarkson interview and didn't mention Eric The Midget or High Pitch once. :(

Really? I just saw that she was in studio and was wondering how much he could get away with since it would be service for the fans of the show rather than standard interview stuff. That sucks.

He definitely remembers it. They played the prank call not long ago. Within the last month or so. I understand fans remembering one thing and Howard forgetting it since he's experienced so much but that was a huge part of the show for years. There's no way he could forget that.

EngineerJoe posted:

That's all the interview was. "Here is this song. Do you remember it?" "How about this one?"

Furthermore, gently caress Howard for not mentioning the Mueller indictments until Robin finally brought it up on the news. He can't claim that the story is uninteresting or unfunny; he used to love diving into big news stories head on, and now he just dodges them for as long as he possibly can.

In this political environment, he might as well be Fox News.
And speaking of which, I kinda wish we still had Scott Einziger around to rage about the investigation.


EDIT: I stand corrected, Howard didn't mention it AT ALL. Robin brings it up with 1.5 minutes left in the show, Howard says nothing, then cracks a lame joke about the PREVIOUS story. Maybe he is starting to feel guilty about his role in creating Trump?

I've moved several times in the last decade and Sirius always finds me. Same for a local insurance branch I've never done business with.

The IRS and Social Security can't seem to figure out when I move, though.

I don't know the exact words, but essentially Ralph said it's not nearly as good as the first season, it's kind of boring, disappointing, etc. Robin more or less agreed, and Gary said the same thing on the wrap up show.

But Howard is all in, like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, or stray cats and chimneys. Then it leads to Howard doing his annoying new Hollywood agent character who sounds like Jimmy the Greek for some reason.

Of course Howard also enjoys hot garbage like Bachelor in Paradise so his standards have always been suspect.

He's filthy rich and has all his needs taken care of. His kids are adults and his wife gives him a lot of space. He only works 3 days a week. For all intense and purposes, he's semi-retired.

Yeah, I get that, but it just seems like he's watching hours and hours per day. He made fun of Jon Hein for watching 3 hours per day but Howard seems like he's got to be above that.

gently caress both Howard and Robin for mocking Paternity Leave. A month is entirely reasonable, and that's one of those times where you REALLY need some support from your boss.

All the money he'll ever need, grown kids, works 3 days/week and usually only 3 out of every four weeks. He doesn't do a lot of talk shows and promos and poo poo. Apparentyl he doesn't go out much. Works off hours.

He's got time out running out of his rear end treeks.

No prob. I just thought it was weird. Not complaining. I go to Sirius on my laptop or desktop at work and click "listen now" and I can access anything; Raw Dog, Stern...everything. Not on my phone though.

Wondering why is all or if anyone else has tried it. I haven't entered any information at all anywhere and can stream whatever I want except on my phone.

His entire being as a man, especially when he was freshly married and with young kids, was to bring home the money. He was raised in a super traditional household that was incredibly representative of the time. He didn't hate that Alison worked (initially, before he really broke out) but he saw his job as provider like his father and his father before him.

I don't think the sentiment is crazy for a man his age, it's just one of those things some people can't come around on.

Even if she doesn't need help, you should still just be there. Not only for her, but for the child, and for you. You'll most likely never have a month of being with your family for a very long time. Take it and be with them.

Absolutely agreed. I had 6 weeks for each of my sons, and even though my younger son cried nearly constantly during that time, still wouldn't trade it.

Howard and Artie probably have the same "throw money at the problem" mentality but Artie is waaaay worse. For Artie, money is basically a substitution for basic social interaction.

I think you can trace all of Artie's generosity directly to his dad. When people come up to him in need he wants to help because he wasn't able to help his dad.

Howard is a product of an older generation (and lots of sponsors, Howard didn't hand out his own money to anyone that wasn't family), Artie's is if not entirely then largely based on his dad. I'm not going to harp on Artie because at the end of the day he loaned a lot of people a lot of money they needed but he definitely seems to do it as much as an act of repentance as one of kindness.

It really can't be understated how much his dad dying, and in the fashion he did, messed with Artie. Like, I get it and he's an adult and yada yada but if I lost a parent when I was his age I have no idea what I'd be like now.

Granted, he doesnt really get much on screen time until season 6....but he is pretty much in every episode of season 6. I mean one of Toney's last meaningful lines in the whole series is "Its Carlo, he is going to testify"

A super underrated saga: when Howard leaves Gary's dinner party early.

Howard was so unbelievably wrong for this and everyone except Benji (of course) rake him over the coals for it for days. Howard tries everything he can to deflect, switch topics, etc. but to no avail. One of the very rare times he's not only wrong but unquestionably wrong and has no actual defense for it.

lol that whole thing is hilarious. Gary had some string group in the back yard playing music and Howard shuts the backdoor when he gets there "because it was cold".

God they really poo poo on Gary's personal life. When his dad died, Beth "fell down the steps and hurt her ankle" and then they held up the ceremony because Artie was out buying drugs and was late.
