What's up with all these women hanging out with high pitch Erik? Seems like every time he's on the phone or the show there's another dumb broad who's hanging on to him. I think they're definitely using him to get on the show for some little bit of "fame".

Hey guys. I'm definitely coming in today, but I'm going to see a doctor who agreed to see me at 6:30am.

I gotta... like get a upper G-I series thing or whatever. They look at the upper part of your stomach. ...but that's not what this is. That's a long procedure. This is something else.

Going back thru Sirius years, I forgot how early on Artie starts loving up. His contributions drop dramatically after the first month, and by early March he's already calling in "sick". Loser.

Yeah, sadly his best years were on KRock.

Yeah he for sure called out Artie on the Sirius show. I remember being so annoyed how everyone kept making excuses for him (sugar crash, arties new diet making him ill, etc) and when Brad called him out it was cathartic.

I remember thinking how awesome it was for Brad to do that, but then being shocked that Howard just continued to ignore it.

Today's episode is one of the funniest they've had in a long long time. Steve from Florida's walk of shame on the street to regain the Bobo name was classic. I can forgive them slightly for having loving New Kids on the Block on yesterday...

I was never into stuff like that. It was humorous at best to me. But i can see why others liked it. I think it's funnier to refuse to give him the name back. But hey, it's still better than NKOTB.

If I remember correctly, Artie stayed at the rehab a few days and then checked into a hotel in Miami and called into the show and put some room service guy with poor English on the phone. Then when he got back to NYC the nice colonic lady called in.

Pretty hard to get clean after leaving rehab after a few days and checking into a loving Miami hotel.

Poor Artie.

Agreed 100%. I can also use this time to admit that I actually love Bobo. He is completely meta, because he understands he is a character on the show but he is so honestly stupid that he doesn't realize that the show knows he knows he is a character and takes full advantage of it. Some of my favorite moments of the last couple of years has been his General Hospital prank, the segments that lost him the Bobo name, and the audience taking over the Bobo name. I will admit that I am sad they gave it back so quickly, but I guess the Steve thing wasn't very funny anymore anyway. Also, the Pete & Pete conversation was incredible and Robin's screaming laughter over it actually kinda sold it.

In the long ago, I had to pick a username for this place and I didn't want it tied to anything else I used and I just happened to be watching SNL re-runs on Comedy Central and this was on and I thought, OK.

5-14-07, about 1 hour 15 minutes in, a taped Beth interview on The View or something is played about how they met, and Howard also tells his side of the story of how he and Beth met and their story seems to match up to being 'they met after he was divorced' because she was on a blind date when they allegedly met. A few people called in including some connection to the owner of the bar or whatever it was to agree it was then that they met which could all be part of the cover story, but it sounded pretty organic and while Howard can convince you of anything because alleged honesty is his schtick, Beth isn't the greatest actress in the world.

There was one show where Howard talked about how great Beth was at remembering anniversaries. Then she came on the show and said it was their fifth (or whatever) anniversary that very day. Going by that information, it sure seemed like they were together before Howard announced his separation.

Is Artie's podcast supposed to be good? The first one I tried had him rambling on for what seemed like forever about some public radio host I had never heard of. He was also doing way too many baseball player impressions. Was that just a bad episode, or is he always going on like this?

I was in the camp that it was actually decent in the beginning (I think I actually subscribed for the whole first year) but it became worse and worse over time until it eventually veered into completely unlistenable territory, especially when you consider that he expects anyone to pay for it.

Don't you tell me my business again.
Who gives a poo poo about when or how Howard met Beth and his personal life? I don't.

His strength and the reason I sill listen to him is his bravery, his capacity to speak truth to power, call out hypocrisy, his general basic sense of honesty, his willingness to poke fun at himself and make himself vulnerable and his ability to do really great interviews. Over the last two or three weeks, even if the people he interviewed weren't all that interesting, you can tell he does his homework and his research before the guest comes on, which is still more that I can say of like 90% of professional journalists.

I also still find him and his show to be mostly funny so I'll take it.

As someone who subscribed to it, no. It's terrible. Unlistenable is the correct way to put it.

Except for when there's a good guest. When he had Jackie, Gilbert, and Stuttering John on it was funny. Those are about the only ones worth listening to. And the ones with Jackie was really hilarious and worth hunting down. Those were like an old Stern episode.

+1 on the Artie podcast. I was a paying subscriber for a year before I realized I fell more than a month behind because I just didn't care. In the beginning it was original and fun, but as time passed it just lacked any variety or originality. I still feel that is why he eventually fell in to just dishing on Stern.

Re: Artie's podcast

I'm pretty sure he stopped doing the podcast recently due to his "schedule on the show 'Crashing'". But I agree, it was decent at the start but it quickly became terrible and painfully obvious that he was pandering to the people who read those Radar Online articles.

Listening to Hank's first appearance and the words that come out of his mouth are "saying midget to a little person is like calling a black person a friend of the family".

At this point I'd be interested in the etymology and history of the word. My guess is little people had their convention one year and they decided they didn't like the word and decided to heavily stigmatize its use by comparing it to friend of the family even though there's no way the history is remotely comparable.

I'd be genuinely shocked if the truth was any different from this.

The black midget is the better athlete and he's been bred to be the better athlete, because this goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading... the slave owner would breed his big black midget to his big midget woman so that he could have a big black midget kid.
