the best HPM is him getting Siobhan to sit on his face for a TV and Steve Langford launching a Howard100 news series about why HPM never opened the box and why he won't let Langford in his apartment.

That's actually how the fight started. He had the TV unopened for year so they had him in studio to fight with Langford and that is when the office gossip of his Disney World trip was brought up. Also, "Tu langua en mi culo".

From what I can slightly recall, I spoke to Jim Belushi in like, 1994 or 95 the at the Deja Vu strip club in Louisville the night of the Kentucky Derby. He was quite drunk.

Yeah. He was pretty entertaining once the edibles kicked in. He owns a weed farm in Oregon and he started his preamble with "I'm not a pothead, but" and then rhapsodized about weed for 10 minutes straight while everyone let him go on

Standard scorched-earth never say a word policy on the Stern show, that definitely points towards firing with cause. I'm not even sure that he got the Lisa G treatment of being offered the opportunity to quit.

The Howard subreddit had a theory that the LA trip did him in. He was getting high on coke, and apparently drugged a stripper and hosed/raped her? There were some text messages Robin was disgusted by. After Artie, Howard wants nothing to do with drugs, so he fired him. I haven't listened to the show in nearly a year, but it sounded like a reasonable theory. Note: unsure if this is a new theory or not.

Seriously? I logged in to his channel for a total of 2 minutes to see his horrible production quality while he, "brick shithouse", and someone off camera were talking about something super uninteresting. They threw away what little platform they had because of Rapaport?

He most definitely was given the ultimatum to resign or be fired, and he chose to resign. This is why he continuously trumpets it to everyone he can reach that he wasn't fired and tries to spin it that it was his decision to walk away from his "dream job" to start a Twitch channel (which, as we've seen, is already on life support). I'm sure there was additional incentive for him to resign ($ or otherwise).

Any employee that legitimately leaves the show by choice (e.g. that guy who wanted to ride his bike around Europe), Howard brings into the studio to berate for having the audacity to leave his show. He's already started doing that for Ronnie. Anybody that leaves the show by "mutual decision" (Lisa G) or the bullshit that Brent is spinning, is gone and never heard from or mentioned again, except for the rare "Tim? He's around..." type of vague response.

Just saw Scott Ferrall on a commercial for SportsGird. That shows you how dedicated they were in the beginning with their own sports show.

I liked his format. Some guy getting hosed up talking about sports while playing metal records in the background. Reminds me of hanging out with my buddy in the garage just talkin poo poo.

They were dismantling the news team so I'm sure that was part of it. All of her exploits (book, cookie parties) that she used the show as a launchpad for, yet shut the show out when it came to covering her events, probably didn't help. Neither did her complete lack of awareness of what show she worked on, and her inability to be a team player in any respect.

Thats pretty hosed up. That being said, gently caress Rappaport. I heard him on Rude Jude's show one time a while back, and I was embarrassed to be a white guy while listening to him talk "urban" to Jude, who (full disclosure) is also a honky, but actually from "the hood", and grew up poor as gently caress.

I feel like the only reason he's even "involved" with the stern show is because he ain't got poo poo going on otherwise, but a lot of people listen to the show, and so he thinks people might recognize him and he'll get roles for "feuding" with Gary, Brent etc..

Rapaport was funny for a little while when he was just the poo poo talker in the fantasy league, but his "feuds" were just awful and his fake anger shtick has run dry.

Ouch, that is the harsh truth, isn't it? For someone who thinks he is so generous and "Evolved", and he really is a lovely boss. To the core.

He doesn't care about the product he's putting out there, that much is evident. The show's purpose nowadays is to help tout his "evolved" persona, and when you have guys like Chris Wilding and Mike Trainor as your "go-to" for safe, below Morning Zoo caliber "comedy", who will work for pennies on the dollar (with that saved money going directly to Howard), you get the current era of THSS.
