I don't think the Gary to the moon bit was mean spirited. It seemed like they were hoping he would get excited and have fun and it completely backfired.

The coming out to George thing was worse because he was just so incredibly supportive and there was no real punchline. Artie too was clearly uncomfortable about it and they should have just apologized and never played it.

Artie's not gay, he was just so desperate for laughs/approval along with the faux machismo stuff from his father and being a "Jersey longshoreman" that he would take any chance he could to make any gay joke that came to mind. He hasn't had successful relationships because of his immaturity and like most addicts, being incredibly loving selfish. He was with Dainer for a long time before she just couldn't put up with his poo poo anymore. He was engaged to another addict whom he partially blames for his nose collapse. He was pretty open before he went in to hiding that he finally was recognizing his problems more and was avoiding relationships and hookers.

Now I'm just remembering Artie arguing with Howard that having Hawaiian Punch every morning is not bad for you because it is juice.

I'm sure the dog was only part of it. Artie totally didn't want her to move in because it would mean he couldn't be as much of a degenerate. He wanted a relationship like with his mom where he can do whatever he wants and someone comes by to check on him and tell him he is a good boy. As mentioned many times in this thread, he was a total child and I hope he is getting his poo poo together.

I had to look up how SXM is doing financially and yikes. While they are still profitable, they carry a lot of debt and are on a downward subscriber trend so their stock is $3.48 at the moment.

Recently one of the writers on the show, Sam, said she's going to eat her placenta after having her next baby. Robin immediately got on board about how that's so important and natural and blah blah. When Howard asked what it's supposed to accomplish, neither Sam nor Robin could give an explanation, just vague crap about how western medicine doesn't know everything and some cultures have been eating placentas since ancient times so that makes it legitimate.

Robin used to be a nurse so it's extra dumb when she spouts off about placenta eating and coffee enemas and magnets.

It is classic "oh shut the gently caress up Robin." Would have been nice to have Jackie there.

No, Artie never did that.

It was $500

This was back when the main way of doing it was paying $1/song, so most probably went to music. Teddy didn't seem sharp enough to pirate all of it and manually copy it over.

Riley and Eric would have done so well if social media was a thing back then.

To be fair, it was. It started with MySpace, but Eric was a big Twitter user. The problem was that Howard was totally right about him, he was only interesting in the context of the show.

Lizzo already reversed her statement saying she meant done with negativity or some bullshit.

Gender switch is a good call, but they need to pick someone who not an established actor/comedian. OJ was basically playing the same part Kareem was in Airplane, a guy known for being somewhat serious and doing a job that isn't funny that shows up in a crazy slapstick comedy. Somebody random like Simone Byles or something would be a better fit.

Was just listening to a rerun and they were bitching at bendy for doing shtick and being late. I still hate that gently caress.

Benjy is a human poo poo post. He can totally be funny, but he seems like an incredible pain in the rear end in reality. Everyone on the show seemed to agree that you have to keep him at arms length at least.

Squashy Nipples posted:

The more I think about it, the more I want an interview with the exwife. I'm sure they've both signed stuff agreeing not to talk about it, though.

That would be fascinating but as you mention, no way in hell it will even be mentioned.

Dirty work starring the Norm Mcdonald of generation x (norm mcdonald) and Arthur Lange.

As an avid Norm fan I will say right away that Dirty Work is the worst thing he ever did. That movie is awful in every way other than the infamous Don Rickles scene.

Him interviewing a sitting president was definitely not on my bingo card. Is this actually happening or just someone doing a deepfake?

I would assume Hein has mostly handed that down to whatever they are doing in place of interns now (minimum wage theater majors or whatever).

It definitely speaks volumes that he had a sitting president live on the show today and the response is that you have about 5 of us in this thread to acknowledge it and I think only a couple of the posters still listen?

Presidents coming on casual talk shows as opposed to formal interviews with news outlets really only picked up steam with Obama (there were pundits that were furious he went on the Tonight Show for example). Conan had Biden on a few months ago, but it was limited to 30 mins and he actually went to the White House to do it. What was the format for Howard?

Looks like both Howard and Biden were in studio today... and Howard wore a suit. It looks weird as gently caress. I wonder if they did it on a Friday to ensure they only had a skeleton crew for Secret Service to investigate.

Still not sure if that was a good or bad sponsorship. They kept trying to hand them out to people on the air as a consolation prize and would often times get a "no thanks."

The writing has been on the wall for a long time. Howard always does the "I'm not doing this again" schtick, but the show has been slowly disappearing for a decade now along side it just not being on very much anymore (#1 reason I quit listening a few years ago). He's got another 20 months on his contract and I can't imagine the show continuing after that. I would assume that someone will give him a new job after that to do interview specials (SiriusXM, maybe Netflix or Max) and he might get his broadcasting fix by going on other people's podcasts or something.
