Trump was invited to Howard’s wedding.

He supposedly leaked the details to the press because he thought Howard would want the attention.

That was almost certainly the greatest thread (or series of threads) in /r/howardstern history. The husband eventually showed up and posted a really candid AMA. One of the highlights of it was him retelling how his wife came to him to explain what she had done and he thought she was preparing to deliver horrible news like she had a terminal illness because she was barely holding it together.


I think the guy deleted the original AMA but this is his account: https://www.reddit.com/user/Bacardi-Lange/submitted/

I remember Howard being upset being invited by Trump to his wedding with Melania, but not being able to go due to having fatherly obligations to his daughter(s) and being unable to attend.
This was 7 years into therapy, btw. He just wanted to go because it was a “happening”, in a shense like Ed Bradley’s funeral.

What a nutcake.

He told her he was upset that she cut her hair because she didn’t look Italian and he couldn’t masturbate to her anymore.

I wish I could find the clip I heard once where Sal starts telling stories of all the pranks and gross HR violations he did in his stockbroker days that almost got him fired. poo poo like getting caught taping porn to his boss’ chair or saying gross stuff to female coworkers, things that would get anyone else immediately fired but somehow he got away with it.

Wasn’t Sal working essentially in a “boiler room” doing some shady financial stuff? I can see in a workplace like that getting away with thing a normal office wouldn’t tolerate. Plus it was the 90s when guys could still get away with almost anything.

Yep. And it seems like it wasn't for lack of trying. I was listening to a Sal compilation recently and he revealed that he lost something like $300k by trading on margin, presumably around the time of the financial collapse circa 2008.

Sal made money during the internet stock boom of the late 90s/early 2000s but a blind monkey could have made money in the market at that point. You literally could just get in and out of most any website that was doing an IPO and make some quick money.

He most likely cheated on his S7 test then proceeded to work at a pump and dump style boiler room which I imagine was much like this scene from the Sopranos.

It's pretty easy when you're basically insider trading, though. Sal (and/or other boiler room types who just wanted the vaguest connection to the show at its zenith) were helping him out by giving him access to IPOs, feeding him tips, etc.

He was making something like $500k/year with Leno, right? That's definitely a HUGE raise over what he was making with Stern but he had to move out to Cali and he bought that big house so I bet he spent it as fast as it came in.
