^^ I get the feeling when High Pitch dies, it'll be a violent shooting because he conned the wrong people.GenoCanSing posted:One of the greatest things about Eric is a mix of his ingratitude and complete lack of intimidation of Howard. Howard Stern, regardless of your opinion of him, is a gigantic figure in the last 50 years of American Media. I know KOAM started as a goof but in the 90's Stern was to radio what The Simpsons were to TV. I didn't listen then but I always knew who he was. I even really enjoyed Private Parts, having never listened to his show. I think that is what really upended Howard, honestly. Artie showed that it was easy to wail on Eric because despite his rage he really had nothing else in life. You could tell him to gently caress off and he would screech and 'quit' the show and then call in the very next day under some pathetic excuses. He was a human punching bag that really couldn't fight back despite his delusional brain thinking he could. Howard could have and should have gone further. At the end, it wasn't Howard holding back, it was Howard kowtowing to some little freak because Howard was getting too soft and trying vainly to break into the mainstream and failing.

Crotch Bat posted:This screenshot of John's desktop and browser is loving hysterical. At this point I think the funniest thing is that a bunch of old men are acting like teenagers while clinging onto the 'cool guy' who is a junkie dependent on his mother and sister for nearly everything he does. Oh, but they're 'real men' who are bitching about Twitter, and arguing over how many followers they can buy. Jesus Christ.

Crotch Bat posted:The thing I might have hated most about Eric was his blunt stupidity, like saying because he's Irish (I'm sure he's at most 50% Irish) he can't play Italian mobsters. The whole concept of acting escaped him. Or being gay, or being someone who isn't exactly realistic to what he is. Normally this could be a very sad thing -- being so disabled you can't imagine a normal living life -- but in Eric's case I really get the feeling he never understood what it meant when people referred to him as 'special' and thought it meant 'extraordinary' instead of 'so profoundly disabled it's remarkable he's still around.' Also, remember his homophobia? He was downright terrified of being seen as gay.

wesleywillis posted:There was, or is (don't know when they actually made the call vs when it was first aired) a ban on selling chickens in Georgia for whatever reason. So they called up some Georgia Tradio show trying to sell chickens. I'm pretty sure this was one of the more recent Tradio pranks. A big fuss around Michigan is people in cities using their backyards to raise chickens for free eggs and meat. I'm guessing the Georgia ban is similar since a lot of neighbors complain about noise and smell and possible disease vectors. If anybody has the link for the Tradio call I'm totally down for that.

beep by grandpa posted:The thing Artie does that royally pisses me off the most is his massive chip on his shoulder towards co-workers who didn't put their entire lives on hold to help him get help. Nah, he only does that to bring back people so he can continue to wrangle them for favors. It's the junkie's version of finding a loophole: if you alienate enough people eventually you don't have anybody to fall back on. Artie's been a leech like this for a few decades so at this point he knows how to weasel back into the good graces of people. He plays the victim and makes a note of how sick he is and yeah he knows he's a fuckup but just for one more time..... This is why a lot of his MadTV friends no longer speak to him. They know he's only coming back so he can continue finding a way to keep using without getting the blame for it. And he knows if he keeps it up he'll find someone who gives him that one last chance and then he can continue leeching off of them as well. As for Howard cheating on Beth....why not? At this point, bring on the drama.

Anyway, you can hear how much of an insecure rear end in a top hat Brent is right from the beginning. It doesn't take him much to go off the rails and then to have a trainwreck like Bubba wail on him until he's crying in the backroom.

kylej posted:He drank bleach and stabbed himself in an attempted suicide and that wasn't rock bottom for Artie, so yeah I don't think he has one other than death. I feel so bad for his mother and sister. Yeah I feel bad for his family as well. Apparently Artie is too masculine to deal with his issues but that doesn't extend to letting his mom and sister put up with all of this bullshit that is going to gently caress them up for a while. Everybody here is right: if he managed to actually have to clean up his act, that would have been better than this whole year of his nose trying to invade the rest of his face while looking like that witch from Looney Tunes.

AxeManiac posted:He looks like Mario if he jumped face first into the bricks More like fell onto them. No way is he running or jumping. I can see him using a stick to hit a Question Mark brick, get a mushroom, and then eat it only to get fatter. And then bitching that it didn't have enough kick but there was this place in 1-2 where the 'dark' Koopas live that give one hell of a fire flower.

Moniker posted:And has money. All problems solved. Well, yeah, but also coming into a courtroom looking like a hobo with a cancerous nose probably helped the 'he doesn't have the ability to sell, or smell' defense. Hell, that ripe zit of a snoz probably helped him get into some kind of rehab deal.

I was watching Naked Lunch last night, and I thought of the video with Artie. In his case, he won't be close to Burroughs by any real stretch, but if he ever needed a title for another book, 'Naked Buffet' might do the trick.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Yeah, see, this is exactly why we listen to him. Because he's stupid and ridiculous and mean (most of the time). I can't fathom having the balls or lack of tact to even go along with most of that, assuming Johnny pushed him into a lot of it. Eric was an absolute monster, you're correct. It's poo poo like this that make me laugh at his tombstone being a park bench. His family truly hated him.

Anybody post this yet? Artie too sick to fly to rehab; still in Jersey hospital. Turns out his nose is swollen because he got punched by bookies: quote:His arrest came on the heels of a bizarre incident when he tweeted a picture of himself looking disheveled with a swollen nose. Lange later admitted he was punched in the face by bookies. Also, I'm guessing he's rehabbing right now in the hospital?

Former Human posted:Even if listeners somehow liked Imus and agreed with his politics or thought he was funny (hard to believe), how could they listen to his show? The man could barely talk for the last decade or more of his career. When he was in his sixties he sounded like he was a hundred, speaking so slowly and wheezing and slurring his words. I couldn't tell what he was saying half the time. I would think the bare minimum for any broadcaster is to be able to talk clearly into a microphone. I think you could sum up Imus by posting a pic of him in that utterly pathetic cowboy getup. Seriously, what the gently caress was up with that?

Former Human posted:I can picture Richard giggling in the bathroom as he records his diarrhea noises while his mother in law does all the baby work. Nah, Richard would be raising that kid right by teaching it how to thrash to metal right out of the womb. And learning to love Halloween. And prank calls. Let's face it, that kid has a good chance to be insanely awesome or just insane. Lifespan posted:The paternity leave stuff is where Howard shows he is old. He freaked out about Shuli's time off (that was provided by their own employer) because he feels the mother should be taking care of the kids and the father bringing home the money. I honestly wonder if he is going to "punish" Richard for his time off by taking away some responsibilities or giving him less say when he gets back. Seems like something he would do. Does it matter? I mean, Richard is probably going into old age still pranking shows of his own free will and doing metal and stuff.

kylej posted:Make sure whoever you pick as the executor of your will is also a neutral party if possible. When my grandmother died, she made her oldest daughter the executor and it became a huge cause of drama among the other children. Oh hell, this is the absolute truth. My paternal grandparents passed in late 2020 and my dad actually got assaulted by my oldest aunt because she had some mad idea that since she had 'caring' for my grandparents a few times in their last years that she was owed their house which she planned on giving her daughter for free. Then it turns out that there is no will because they were taking my grandmother's word on this but since she was deep into dementia said will probably doesn't exist at all. So my parents, who had to care for my grandparents when they were put into care, had to deal with everything on their own as my oldest aunt declared herself 'an orphan' and my youngest aunt soon lost interest when they money wasn't coming fast enough. Everything was finally dealt with less than a month ago, but the damage is done. I doubt I'll ever talk to either aunt again despite them getting a low five-figure amount at the end of this, and my parents went through hell and back just dealing with this. My sister reached out to my cousins for their help in finding a house and found out that my oldest aunt had lied to them about this whole process claiming that my parents shut everybody out of the process and.....yeah, so get a will. Get it. So, speaking of the dead and ungrateful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVjANUYbypU
