I don't like John Hein at all but him fast-forwarding the Christian part in Charlie Brown is really funny to me.

My junior high history class showed Ben-Hur to illustrate ancient Rome, except I went to a public school so they decided they had to fast forward through all the scenes about Jesus. They skipped so much by the end of the movie the plot made no sense.

My basis for thinking they're fake is that it just seems like they use the same people for multiple calls. The cancer kazoo jack & rod and the call to the asian clock lady for example really sounds like the same lady.

Come on, it's a no-brainer. He's not wearing baggy clothes because it makes him look thinner. He's just wearing them so when he eventually does have a surgery his behavior won't change while he heals.

Regarding whether or not the interviews are fake, I do think some of the "guests" do sound alike. The guy from the Kirk Douglas/Crackhead Bob interview sounds a lot like the guy from the Dick Clark one.

Yeah, and? You think the people sound alike (when they really don't), but it could be a "voice actor" (but not necessarily the same voice actor) because Sal and Richard might edit the calls with other people for some reason and...

They never really badmouthed Billy West. After Billy abruptly left and listeners would call in asking about him sometimes Howard would just say "Billy who?"

Billy is a weird guy in general. Listen to his appearance on Greg Fitzsimmons where he doesn't answer half the questions for some reason. He never told anyone except Tom he was leaving the show/station until the day it happened. No one even knew his contract was ending. Right after the show ended that day he said goodbye to people in the office and walked out and hasn't spoken to them since. The guy is hilarious and super talented but he seems really distant and insecure too.

As for Stuttering John, he couldn't take the high road if he had a GPS for it. He doesn't know what the high road is, unless he thinks "high" has to do with inhaling whipped cream. Yeah they goofed on him when he left but they mostly stuck to bashing Jay Leno. John has done an interview or two slamming Howard since leaving.

No one taking the Artie chair, plus a three day week, plus a four hour show, plus no Bubba, should equal a ton of cancellations. Why not at least have Jim Breuer or Colin Quinn sit in ONE day a week? The sad thing is, at this point now that Howard has his contract done, I doubt he even cares. If he doesn't retire after this five years he really will turn into his worst nightmare: Imus.

We still don't know the full story of how Artie left at the end of 2009. Was he told to take time off for rehab? Was he fired? Or was he still fully employed when he stabbed himself? It would make sense that he was asked to leave and that's one of the things that set him off, but we don't know for sure.

Whatever the version of events, it's been over a year. How much time is enough to move on? The show is suffering for it. Artie is a basketcase and has been since he was a teenager, so they shouldn't feel so restrained by his mental health problems.

I think it's also accurate that Howard isn't focused on filling the Artie chair because he doesn't want to put in the effort to "audition" people or scrounge up the money to pay them. It's easier to do 12 hours a week and play chess.

Smith wasn't a bad guest when he was on years ago, but he's since turned into a giant manchild who makes lame movies and can barely string together a coherent sentence. His latest Q&A videos are especially bad.

"Dominic is out for Dominic. If you are considering hiring Dominic, do yourself a favor and simply go to your bathroom and flush $20,000 down the toilet."

Took me for a few hundred thousand dollars, and I'm not finished yet since I still have money he wants. Lied and sold me out.Plan on suing him for malpractice."

"This guy really is a piece of work. He billed me over $40K. When I spoke to another lawyer the guy told me it should have been around $4K."

"didnt return calls, wouldnt account for where my money went, never saw a bill until after the case was over...and saw 'lawyers' names on the bill for appearances who I never met."

"This frim has no communication values and work quality is very very poor. Example- Firm doen't return any phone calls properly and there fees are very very questionable. This firm is not to be trusted in my opinion. They say what they are goint to do for you but in the end nothing gets accomplished. They just ask for more and more and more money and you still see no results and finally have to seek a new lawyer after all is said and done ."

"Stay away from this lawyer if you dont want to end up broke during your divorce.You never see him unless there is a trial scheduled, & basically at your trial he is there as a second attorney just to raise your fees on paying for 2 attorneys showing up at court."
