Holy poo poo, that interview with Bella Thorne is possibly the worst they've ever done. She was completely high, rambling, barely coherent, all over the place. Howard had to ask the same questions three or four times to get something resembling an answer.

"It's like, come on, fuuuuuck, you know, I mean, literally, right?" *stoner laugh* :wtf:

She's the new Courtney Love except Artie isn't there to goof on her.

Haven’t heard it yet and maybe won’t but I remember the Cardi B interview being highly criticized as lazy. I actually thought that one was one of the standout interviews last year.

Cardi B was definitely sincere and appeared to have no idea who Stern even was.

That was painful, I skipped big pieces of it, and kept being surprised that it was still going when I jumped ahead.

She wasn't just stoned, she's Dumb As a Box Of Rocks.

Maybe I’ll see if I can find it and relisten but I remember having it on during kinda a long drive and was entertained. It wasn’t like a funny interview. Basically I remember it being a “Howard plays psychiatrist” drilling the patient down and she answered everything without pause. Plus they plugged in the robin singing Makes Money Moves song which was pretty funny.

I'm thinking he was either legitimately paid by the show per gig/appearance/Eric-related-project, or it was really for exposure.

Lifespan

There is no chance he made a penny off of Eric and I don't think he had much else going that he needed exposure for. It's possible the show was giving him something to keep the content coming, but I honestly believe he didn't have much else going and it gave him something to do.

...And then Eric sent him a bill.

I doubt he was paid by the show itself, but he definitely was working deals with sponsorships and such. The best example is that time Eric went to some strip club and kept having to call back and work in a plug with Johnny prodding him the whole time to tell Howard how awesome the strip club was. Artie called Johnny out on how blatant it was.

Doesn't Howard have something like 50 writers crammed into a tiny office like chinamen? What the hell do they do with all this downtime?

I don't really blame Howard for half-assing it for so long. If Sirius XM is dumb enough to keep paying him to phone it in for so many contracts then more power to him.

I think he knows that if he retires and starts spending the time he usually spends doing the show with Beth he'll be divorced in 2 years and die alone. I honestly think he uses the show as an excuse to get the gently caress out of his cat piss filled mansion.

I am making a bunch of assumptions here:

Brent mentioned that they only have a few minutes to take a piss during the show and have to be back at their workstation when the show comes back from break. I assume the whole writing staff is basically huddled in that "chinamen" office setting writing jokes on the fly to feed to Howard over the computer. Since it's easier to just shout things out than the use a messenger on the computer when writing and improving lines on the fly.

All those people also probably have to write bits for the show as well. I assume that every time some back office caller calls in, it's completely scripted with their lines and Howard's lines, so all that stuff gets drafts and some sort of approval process.

It also seems that they do a lot of rehearsals for bits in the studio. Like I remember them saying they were doing blocking for the Heaviest Diaper contest "the other week" or something like that. So that's all time that needs to be done when they are not in the studio for the show. Or things like taping fake Alex Jones, making phony phone calls, musical radio, man on the street, and other produced bits.

It also sounds like there is a whole "Tapes Team" that works a normal 9-5 shift, doing what? I have no idea. I would assume that there is a team of people that produce Sternthology, which involves deciding on the run down of the day, unarchiving it, scanning it for potential edits, compiling it all, and then since it's all prerecorded someone has to listen to it all for 2+ hours to just QC the thing. They is probably a similar process for Vacation weeks and the Thursday/Friday best of show being made in the same way, deciding what goes on it and making the best of show.

I really don't know what JD does during downtime. His job only seems relevant to pulling clips to put on the air, and maybe the news, which are only relevant if they are pulled from the day prior. It's not like they do a news recap when they come back. I assume there are ongoing things that they just don't get to, hence the cleaning out the computer segments, so who knows how much stuff he works on that never sees air.

I don't know... that's just my guess on it.
