One must also keep in mind that Stern and Trump have similar ideas about celebrity, i.e. that being a celebrity is good and admirable and exciting in and of itself. And they were both yuuuuuuge celebrities in the somewhat insular world of New York City, so they respected one another in that somewhat shallow way.

His absolute worst political opinions are about this topic; I will assiduously avoid hearing what he has to say.

The really annoying thing is how dutifully Robin parrots his terrible anti-Muslim takes. A few years back, in reference to something the Iranian government had done, she chirped, “Someone’s asking for a nuking!” (And this was after ayahuasca allegedly taught her infinite compassion.)

Agreed on Fratto -- he didn't get that the Stern show is not pro wrestling. What has always made it compelling is the realness of it. Like, we all know that the "phoney phone calls" are heavily worked, and staff conflicts are ginned up, but (as just one example), Gary really did take a nap during the show and get called out for it live on the air, and really did have a petulant little feud with Scott DePace as a result.

Caveat: in Stern Show frenemy circles such as Reddit, a common accusation is that almost all of the conflicts etc. that are presented as real are actually "works" cooked up in the writers' room. It's possible that some of the real-seeming stuff is, but as for the bulk of it ... it's still real to me, dammit!!

If you listen to the Youtube excerpt above, you will hear Howard say essentially exactly this ... something along the lines of "Ralph knew a lot of very personal things about me, and never breathed a word to anyone."

Howard mentioned in his obit segment that he spent significant time trying to get Ralph to take care of his health. Whether that extended to offering to pay for insurance or out-of-pocket, he didn’t say.

I hate crappaport, can anyone who lasted for the whole thing give us a TL;DR?

It’s a “clever” parody of Hot Ones, in which Rappaport informs the guests midway that they are not actually eating chicken wings, but rather “Hamas poo poo”. Apparently this is a metaphor for what you’re doing if you go to a pro-Palestinian rally.

It is so wrong and stupid in every way that it makes me question the sanity of everyone involved.

I mean, there’s definitely a powerful mind-body connection, which is generally ignored or filed under “psychosomatic” by mainstream medicine. And back pain is one very common way for mental stress and unhappiness to express itself.

But it is definitely not true that *all* back pain is entirely stress-induced, nor that all back pain can be completely alleviated by leveraging the mind-body connection, as Howard believes.
