I watched the Ugly Meter videos and the one with the Stern look-a-like.

Those are some good laughs there. Plus the IQ test, which was dated 2010. Can that really be possible?

It's a repeat of the first time they played it. It's not a bad special, but if you heard it the first time you're not getting anything new.

Ah, thanks - I recorded it the first time, don't need to bother recording it this time then. Thought it looked familiar.

Howard was attacking Howie for putting through that short dude who can't sing and for tweeting during the serious judging show.

Then Sharron kept calling them ladies, like it was an insult or that only women fight or something and a few people sang and a dude told some hacky jokes and bit parts from any half way decent circus type show did a few things.

I'm late to the party, finally listening to Friday's show. What the gently caress is up with Ronnie? He acts like he's this tough rear end thug, fresh out of lockup.
That attitude is going to get him beaten down by someone who really is a tough guy.

It's times like this that I long for the terrestrial years when we could get things like the Cabbie vs John fight.

Ronnie was on the Scores staff, working for Lonnie in some weird capacity that no one could ever figure out, the NYPD did a prostitution bust on the place.
When it settled down Lonnie had gone to work at Rick's Cabaret, and Scoresman923 was now Rickyman.
Howard (shockingly) glossed over it when it all happened, but "Let's go to scores and gently caress some whores" sure sounds different in this context.

Slowly but surely I am making it through the first year of Howard on Sirus. I don't have much time to listen but when I do I thoroughly enjoy it. I am currently at 09/11/06 which is the 5 year anniversary of the 9/11 show and they replay it. I am pretty excited because it's also the same week for the red carpet premier of Artie Lange's Beerleauge and I want to hear the aftermath of all that. The week before there was crazy Eddie Van Halen interview where he claimed to cure cancer and Steve O called in for an interview where was wasted on Whip it's. Also that week they had Doug Stanhope in with his crazy girlfriend Bingo and that was awesome.

Doug Stanhope is the best. (Not actually the best Stern-show guest, but probably my favorite non-dead comedian.)

I am not to big of a fan of his stand up but he killed it on the Stern show that day. Which is why I enjoy Howard so much. I never got to hear him much until I discovered this thread. I always knew about him just never listened and Howard does an excellent job of making people I don't even like step up their game and kill it. The interviews he has done the first year on Sirus are amazing he made Cuba Gooding Jr. interesting and I loving hate that guy.

Let us not forget that he wears bifocals so he can see, and that his t-shirt's way too tight.

Well, it's taken about 5 or 6 years, but Artie talking through a mouthful of food directly into the mic has made the jump from funny to awful and disgusting and annoying, for me anyways. Still, that's some amazing legs for a bit.

I'm waaay behind on N&A. Is Nick still adamant about defending Joe Pa and PSU after today's revelations? Considering his desperate need to play Devil's advocate against all that's wrong with the world today, and how we vote the way we do (?), plus his grotesque, uneducated political world views, gonna go ahead and venture a big "yes" on that. Boy, is he lucky he's funny and good looking.

Also, can someone refresh my memory as to when Artie did the Bill Curtis, Rick Santorum, dead baby bit?

I'm about a month behind, and I almost had to stop listening when Nick was going on about how Jon Stewart makes almost as much money as Mitt Romney does, so all criticisms of Romney are therefore invalid.

The Fox News anchors don't hate America and hard-working rich people, so what they say is okay. Nick was only angry at Jon Stewart because he was being mean to those poor overworked rich folk.

Everything about Nick DePaolo is loving dumb. He's almost as stupid as DePace. I wonder what it is about having a last name that starts D-E-P that causes you to have such a malformed and childlike understanding of the world.

Nick and Artie are both blinded by their own privilege to the point where everyone else is just a freeloader.
Really though, they both just got lucky by climbing onto Howard's dick.

On a similar note, did anyone see the tweet where Artie said he met up with Howard and apologized for being a "lying junkie?"
I want to know how that went down.

I stopped watching SNL a long time ago, but I was pretty interested by most of the stories and interviews for the "SNL on Stern" special. Anytime they played those old shows I'm jarred by how much they loving clapped at everything (and how awkward it was).

It was an awful trend on the show for a few years and I am glad it died off, along with Out of The Closet Stern.

If he calls himself Howeird it's an instant no-listen. Meanwhile cruising through the 2008 show, in one week in May we got "big pendulous breasts", 100 million graaand, and the Gary the Retard getting caught smoking prank calls. I love hearing the shows where the drops all come from, and I'm looking forward to Lisa G making GBS threads at work.

You got that right: he used to be so obnoxiously affected that I think people who truly hate Stern are justified if they stopped listening around 1987. I love Best of, but his '80s era "comedy" bits are so cringe-inducing that I have to take my earbuds out or skip until they pass. Considering he's such a control freak, I'm surprised he even lets stuff like the "Leave it to Beaver" and "Lucy" riffs get replayed. There is absolutely no funny DNA in any of it.
