This is why I tuned out. I was getting bored with how he was all over and Howard kept having to interrupt. Not Howard's fault, he doesn't know someone is going to be terrible like this.

I'm coming to this a little late, but I thought it was a great interview, one of the best in the while. Choe was really annoying to listen to at first, but drat, he is one fascinating crazy m'fer. Trantic masturbation in Japanese jails, playing percussion for Die Antwoort, hanging out in the Congo, earning a million dollars at age 30 by gambling in Vegas ... he's in the running to be the real Most Interesting Man In The World. It's taxing listening to him trying to finish a thought without getting distracted, but I would still love to hear the other 5,000 crazy stories he probably has about his life.

There's definitely something wrong with him mentally, though. At first I thought he was on coke, but then he said he doesn't drink or do drugs, and said several things that are indicative of Manic-Depressive Disorder or Bipolar of whatever they call it these days.

Yeah I'm with you, I didn't get all the Choe-hate, I thought he was pretty much the ideal Stern guest interview, especially if he was able to speak just a LITTLE bit more coherently without so much rapid pressured speech. Way better than the usual washed up rock 'n' roll or Hollywood celebrity or porn star.

He does come across as a classic manic depressive type though and unfortunately it wouldn't be too surprising a few years from now to hear that he blew all 200 million bucks gambling and committed suicide. I hope it doesn't happen though, I want to hear more stories about him screwing Power Rangers and mastering the Tantric arts of whacking off.

I just realized who his speech patterns reminded me of: Hanzi, the paranoid Pakistani-Canadian guy. He has a similar inability to finish a thought ... maybe Hanzi is also bipolar? If so, look at what a long-shot crapshoot bipolar disorder is: you can end up a multimillionaire with two bimbos sucking each of your balls, or you can end up like, well, Hanzi.

Did anyone listen to one word that Jean-Claude Van Damme had to say today?

The interview was excruciating and van Damme deserves universal condemnation for his lengthy on-air defense of Chechnya's extravagantly corrupt and repressive President, Ramzan Kadyrov. van Damme basically said,"Hey, maybe he had to kill a few people in the beginning, because they were all killing each other and they wouldn't listen to reason." Meanwhile, read Kadyrov's Wikipedia entry, which van Damme apparently couldn't be bothered to do, probably because Kadyrov treated him like a superstar instead of the joke that he is.

As Howard pointed out, Kadyrov is basically the real-life version of Sacha Baron Cohen's "The Dictator", except it's not so funny in real life.

If only Hell actually existed; I'm sure there's a special place there for celebrities who act as apologists for brutal dictators. van Damme could hobnob there for eternity with Charles Lindbergh.

In the case of last week, AGT taped late the night before so he would not have gotten to jack off to baby sitter porn, " give it to Beth really good", and then sleep for 9 hours before coming into do a show for 3 hours.

In Howard's defense, he's pretty clear on the fact that he doesn't give it to her all that well ... but on the other hand, he then usually asserts that she likes it that way because she's "not into foreplay".

I would so totally go to HowardCon, if only just to heckle Benjy and Lisa G.

Slightly off-topic, but I would also love to attend a real convention-type GoonCon, with panels on How Not To Get Banned, FYAD For Beginners, etc. Attending panel featuring "this sucks", Tape Speed, and the lactating sperm-bottle guy would be beyond awesome.

I wonder what's going on with Howard that he's suddenly putting some effort into the show, what with the faaabulous new collaboration system from IBM and putting people into the Artie chair after leaving it empty for eons ... my guess is it's that life-changing book, Getting Things Done.

So Gawker released (NSFW!) a clip from the long-rumored Hulk/Heather Clem sex tape yesterday ... what do you think the odds are that it gets mentioned at all on the Stern show?

I would say there's about a 75% chance that it comes up for about a minute before Howard squashes it with something like, "Well, the whole thing's kinda weird. I don't know what's going on there. [pause] [snort] [moves on to next topic]."

(Creepiest moment in the video: Bubba, who has apparently just ushered the happy couple into his bedroom, urges them to "do your thing; I'll be in my office if you need me".)

Edit: the clip is, of course, safe neither for work nor for your sanity.

Well, I stand corrected on my earlier cynical posts relating to the least-erotic celebrity sex tape ever released, the Heather Clem/Hulk Hogan opus. Not only did Stern & Co not avoid the subject, they even serendipitously had Hogan scheduled as a guest just after the tape "dropped", and he (to his credit as well) neither cancelled nor refused to talk about it. Good stuff (if you enjoy nouveau-riche redneck trainwrecks).

Now if he could just get Lindsay Lohan and both of her parents on the show ...

I actually think this is pretty great. Aside from the harrrible, Target-inspired design scheme and amateurish Photoshopping, the idea of mocking their own status as wealthy, crazy cat people is fairly amusing and shows some self-awareness.

On the other hand, it could also be seen as a desperate cry for help, thinly disguised as self-deprecating humor.

Howard is giving some terrible opinions on the last episode of Game of Thrones right now, saying he couldn't hear anything in the bath scene, and he thinks it might be the moment that will turn him off the show. Whenever he talks about it he sounds so clueless, like he's too busy chatting with Beth to follow what's going on. I guess THE BACHELOR is more up his alley.

That was the best scene in the episode -- we finally found out how Jaimie became the Kingkiller -- and I had no trouble hearing it at all. Perhaps the audio in Howard's expensive home theater system (with *no* barstools) isn't working properly.

I'd be happy to fix it for him for a couple thou. I'd even throw in a free installation of speakers near his pets' food bowls, to play pet-psychic-approved soothing music for them while they eat.

This doesn't even sound like it was planned or rehearsed. It sounds like she just got high, put on a nature-sounds CD, and improvised to it.

... actually, in that context, it wouldn't be too bad. But unfortunately she clearly did it in a studio. With Scott Salem working the controls. After rehearsing with a vocal coach. I'm not sure my brain can process this.

It's not the pose itself, it's that she seems to do it in every candid photo. I have someone like this on my Facebook friends list -- in every photo of herself that she posts, she has the exact same smile, head at the same angle, etc. It's ... eerie.

Good point; I guess I meant "in every non-modeling-shoot photo."

Also, I really wish this were still the kind of show where Jackie and others could spend a whole morning needling Howard about his ridiculous cat situation until he blew up at them. That kind of dedicated ball-breaking is so lacking on the show now.

Chicken Butt

I believe that the reason that Howard is so uncomfortable talking about Artie, and is unlikely to have him back on the show, is because he's angry at him. Most people who have a suicidal friend or family member experience this kind of anger -- it's an entirely natural reaction, something along the lines of "How could you be so selfish and put us through all this pain?" -- but it fits exceptionally well with Howard's personality.

Also, he's castigated himself on the air a number of times for having been so gullible as to believe Artie's explanations about being "tired" or "sick" when he would nod off on the air or just not come in. So there's probably some guilt and anger around that, too.

Basically, what I'm saying is that Howard might want to take a break from talking to his psychiatrist about his mother and work through his feelings about Artie instead.

*Hell* no.

Actually, of course such men exist, but generally only because of religious views/extreme sexual conservatism, or psychosexual issues. For a non-religious, post-Sexual-Revolution, lacking-major-mental-disorder American male to feel this way is not unheard of -- as in all human behaviors, there are statistical norms but no absolutes -- but in the case of someone as free-thinking, libidinous, and previously-blowjob-enjoying as Howard, it's purely rationalized bullshit.
