I remember when he used to be a true independent going after both sides." with: "That's an opinion" on twitter uhhh.... clearly that guy missed Howard's Tea Party-esque rants on taxes? Anyway, The Jokeman performed at my college's Spring Fling back in 95. I've said this before, but here goes: his material is recycled poo poo, but the man knows how to work a room. Then, again, 1 thousand drunken, screaming frat boys isn't that discerning of an audience. What got the biggest laughs were the racist jokes.

I actually found the Jockey interview interesting. The guys were forthcoming, and the one dude was surprisingly articulate. Also, his share of the million-dollar Preakness purse? $40,000 before taxes. Ouch.

Speak for yourself. I'm very good at working the vagina with my hands. My mouth, less so, but at least I know my way around the girl parts. But yeah, it seems clear to me that Howard is bad at foreplay... and yet a few women over the years have claimed that he is a good lover? Who knows.

Mike Tahoe posted:Howard101 currently has two feeds playing simultaneously. That happened one Saturday when I was listening to replays of the week on 101. Basically, they started the show back up at the same time they ran the commercials, so they ran at the same time. This was during the wrap up show. No one fixed the problem, the commercials ran until they ended, and then we were back to just the wrap up show. I'm guessing that no one was listening.

I was in Boston on 9/11, so it didn't feel quite as immediate as being in Manhattan, but I lost several colleagues that day. Also, my best friend at the time had just finished working a contract gig in one of the towers... he had been working there every day, just two weeks prior. The 9/11 show was great, but the really important show to me was 9/12. I set my alarm for 5:55 so I could hear it from the beginning. Hearing the Sam Kinison bark, followed by 'American Nightmare' kicking in, was so totally relieving. A shred of normalcy.

AxeManiac posted:Wolfie just keeps it all in and lets the loonies talk. I'll never get tired of hearing nerds in masks stumble over questions and jobs and girls. It's amazing. I tried doing stuff like that at a few conventions, it is REALLY hard to do. You have to be nice or they just don't talk with you. Yeah, the hard part is making it look easy. I tried doing similar interviews back in business school, interviewing undergrads (I went to school where there was a massive gulf between grad and undergrad, almost like it was two different schools). You have to get the mix of nice and straight-faced reporterman just right, so that they will still talk to you once they realize what you are doing. Shuli was openly mocking his subjects, and that doesn't really work.

What a let down... He finds the most uninteresting way to deny things. At least he talks about it relatively soon in the broadcast, maybe 20 minutes in. Basically just denied that it could possibly be him, and described the process the studio uses to deliver the disks to him. Studio sends guy with disk to Sirius building, Gary or Tracy goes down to collect it, it goes into Stern's personal bag (man purse). Once he watches it, he brings it back in, and the process reverses: Gary calls the studio, and the send someone over to collect it. That's it. He claims that he never gives/loans it out to anyone else. He mocked the idea that it could possibly have been Ralph.

Also, he is clearly feeling the heat of fan rage about the three day week... He has a new rap about it, and he has given it THREE times already this morning. "You see, I was going to retire, I wanted out. And then Sirius came to me and was like, we need you, how about you do a few less shows a year? I thought that was a great compromise! So basically, it was this or nothing, not my fault, so deal with it. And if you are complaining, then you aren't a true fan." What an rear end in a top hat.

FogHelmut posted:Neither is as creepy as Benji wanting to put a naked woman in a box with holes in it so people can reach in and grope her. This would take place on the street in Harlem. According to Benji, this detail is what gives the bit context. I actually participated in this at a pervert camp I went to last year. It was a plywood box, a little bigger then a phone booth, with a bunch of port holes so you could reach through to grope the naked person inside. The port holes were covered with black rubber, to keep light from getting in. This kept it dark inside in box, so the gropers were anonymous. There was a night vision camera set up inside, and a 2 big monitors on top of the box, so you could see the reactions of the person being groped. This was a lot of fun in the safe environment of camp, but doing it on street? Not only does that make it creepy, it makes it a sex crime. "Context", my rear end.

So what you are saying is, She Was Impressed? There is a thread on the HardOCP forums about the screener leak, and they are making us look kind in comparison: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1627933 A Sample: quote:Howard Sterns stylist? I don't know what to be more surprised about, that Howard has a stylist or that they're asking the stylist if he/she leaked the movie.

Glumwheels posted:Yeah this really pissed me off this morning. It's one of the few good music channels left and now they've canned it. What the gently caress is wrong with them? They don't have any other channels that play that type of music. One of many things that they don't have any more.. no more punk channel, for example. Also, a minor quibble, but I steam Sirius in my house, and listen to XM in my car, and for some reason, the NPR stations are totally different.

I had a dream last night that I might have accidentally killed Eric The ShitCock. For some reason, we were in my folks old house. He was being himself, an obnoxious, balky sack of poo poo, and he was pissing me off. I was trying to do something for him, and nothing was good enough. As I got angrier and angrier, he started directly taunting me, cursing at me. Finally, I just snapped, and punched him square in the face. He went flying out of his chair, and hit the floor like a (small) sack of potatoes. He laid in a crumpled pile on the floor, and I got scared and ran out of the house, and drove away. And they I woke up. hosed up, man.

A few more genuine freaks and a little less Richard Belzer and people like that would really liven things up. The comic con nerd interviews are more interesting than most of the guests. Yeah, I agree entirely. After listening on and off a bit to the Wack Pack shows, I've decided that the absolute peak of the show was the fight between Hank and Beet. Listening to Beet cry over Hanks death was really sad, though.
