I agree that they desperately need someone to fill the vacuum Artie left. I seriously can't believe the chair has been empty this long. I get that Howard probably has a lot of mixed-feelings about the Artie situation and probably doesn't want to replace him in fear that it might effect him, but the show is just suffering on so many levels in his stead it's ridiculous. Axe made the attack dog point, which is spot on. Artie never cared about offending anybody (who wasn't famous) and it made all the whack-packer interactions great. Jeff the Drunk, Eric, Riley, Blue Iris, all so much better with Artie. Besides that, though, I think the show suffers from them just needing someone fresh, rear end in a top hat or not. Someone besides Robin who has interesting opinions to just talk to. Artie added great lines to the show but he was also that fresh thing for a long while- Howard would always be able to go to him and do 30 minutes of 'What Artie's Eating', 'What Artie's Betting', 'What's Artie Taking?', 'Holy poo poo Look at Artie', or the classic 'Artie's Out Sick Today.' It got to the point where some of us were sick of it, and people were calling for an end to the Artie show. I think it was better than what we've got now, though, and if Howard were to allow any comedian to sit in on more than one consecutive show at a time it would bring a much-needed breath of fresh air as Howard began dissecting their personal lives and integrating them into the show in different ways. rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jan 5, 2011 |

Graviton v2 posted:Listen to 2002 again man, Stuttering John and KC are still there and what I find real intersting listening to is whenever Howard makes a drugs or drink reference Artie has something to say. Is this in response to me? Because I agree with you and don't see how my post addressed those things, but the "man" makes me think you're responding to me. Seriously though, it's amazing to me how good a bullshitter he was. It was just completely second-nature to him. It really does stick out how he always had something to say about drugs, and he always had the perfect "Yeah I know about this stuff but I'm not doing it" tone and included a "I had a friend who" or "I've been off X for X" or "I did X once" qualifier. Didn't we learn that Artie fabricated entire conversations on the air about the therapist and how he hated it, when he actually never went or stopped going after a week or something? Goddamn he was hosed up. rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Jan 5, 2011 |

sedative posted:The latest episode of Vegucating Robin is appropriately titled "A Brand New Tool in the Kitchen" Holy poo poo what a trainwreck. Howard isn't giving her poo poo for this? Not only is she way too hammed up displaying no natural charisma whatsoever, but the show is a technical disaster. Shaky camera and sporadic cuts- on a COOKING SHOW! The easiest thing to frame in the world! Just do a wide shot that shows the entire cooking landscape and allows people to see exactly how the chef is preparing everything, from prep to finish. Zoom in for detail or if there's actually a good moment between the hosts, that's it. Instead the camera is all over the place and they change angles for the sake of keeping it dynamic or something and that laugh jesus rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jan 5, 2011 |

He's already figured out that he needs to paste what he's responding to (unlike Robin) and how to retweet and such. The real test is if he can pay more attention to the rear end-kissing tweets than the inevitable trolls.

Grabulon posted:So when you say Howard "gets Twitter", what does that even mean? It means he understands how to use it to just dump random thoughts and have public chats with people. Some try to always have awesome one-liners constantly, or exclusively use it for promotion. Robin's a perfect example of someone who doesn't get it- http://twitter.com/#!/rqui Restating the same thing several times, boring promotions, and responding to people without retweeting so it's out of context and useless. Just scroll down her page and scroll down Howard's, that's why he gets it and she doesn't. rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Feb 6, 2011 |

I was listening to some shows from 2004 and this stood out so much that I had to upload it for you guys http://tindeck.com/listen/osxe May 25th 2004, Howard interviews Tom Arnold and Tom spends 10 minutes of the interview just grilling Artie while giving him an on-air intervention and tells him "Something bad's going to happen and you're going to screw things up", etc. It's shortly after Artie's Vegas charades where he was completely smashed the entire trip and is incredibly interesting to listen to in retrospect. It's also just a great interview. Here's the whole show if anyone wants it, I hate it when I have a single chunk of a show I'm enjoying, and they interview Rodney Dangerfield right after Tom http://tindeck.com/listen/wfqi . rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Feb 12, 2011 |

Howard seems to be in love with the instant feedback he receives from Twitter, 1 guy told him to cool it so he said "Ok I thought people enjoyed it geeze" in a retweet and then when hundreds of people started screaming "NO KEEP GOING gently caress THAT GUY" he re-tweeted a few of those and kept on truckin'. It's totally feeding his ego.

Djarum posted:Also I have it on good authority that all this publicity about Howard on Twitter is because of both Sirius PR and Howard's publicist pushing it. It is all a part of this PR blitz to bring attention that Howard is on the Sirius/XM app. All the publicity, or Howard actually sitting down and tweeting? Because there's no way that Howard's on Twitter for any reason other than he's bored and enjoys it. Howard's always gotten off on audience interaction and Twitter has a much higher ratio of kissasses:trolls than forums and the like.

Shes Not Impressed posted:"Tons of celebs" are not equal to Howard Stern. The guy is funny and provocative so people are of course going to see what he has to say. Yeah, obviously PR people have their jobs for a reason and if Stern being on Twitter is what's going on then they're going to run with it and try to get it publicized, but a lot of what's being written about Howard using Twitter is probably due to the fact that he's high profile and actually has things to say. Howard makes a living entertaining people live on the radio by sharing his thoughts and such. Twitter gives people a public forum to share their thoughts and such, so obviously Howard signing up is a bigger deal than actor/musician/talking head #104913049. People don't just want to hear what's going on in Howard's personal life, they want to hear his thoughts and opinions period. The same can't be said for the vast majority of twitter...ers? Howard's the biggest radio personality there's ever been or will be. Even if his influence is dwindling, him getting publicity for being on Twitter isn't exactly a head-scratcher, and the Private Parts commentary thing was newsworthy on its own. Given how many TV stars are on Twitter I'm surprised that live-casting commentary during their shows hasn't become a thing yet. rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Feb 15, 2011 |

Vakal posted:I'm looking back and forth between the two right now and I cannot stop laughing. Also I loved the bit with the crazy webcam chick today, Richard and Sal's calls are still highlights of the show for me and when they started trolling her in-person I was in heaven. It really reminded me of how much Howard's lost his bite though, she kept saying "I'm not going to answer that!" and "This isn't the sex show!" whenever he'd go into her personal life, and I kept waiting for Howard to go "Well why the gently caress did you come in here if you're not going to answer anything? This is the sex show. This is MY show!" but he just sorta let it pass by even though it happened 5-6 times. Speaking of Richard and Sal calls, that one where Richard called a talk-show about growing up in a haunted house where he started listing all the spooky stuff he saw was incredible. It's such a simple concept, but his delivery and how the hosts hang with him until he finally gets absurd just kills me. Same as the time he called Tradio with a device that measured everything known to man. I was entering class while listening and nearly had an aneurysm stifling my laughter.

He uses far fewer drops than he used to and they're oftentimes late or awkward. If you listen to old shows you get the sense that Fred is inside Howard's brain, pulling out appropriate sounds the instant Howard went off on some random tangent, but not so much anymore. It pains me to say it, too, because I absolutely adore Fred- but now it seems that even he is taking it easy

Started off quiet enough for Robin to completely ignore it and continue on with her cast, and as the weeks went by it got louder and louder until it was loving blaring and Robin was forced to pause and wait for it to finish, sometimes saying "Oh come on" or something. Makes me laugh every single day as well.

chiz posted:ok I don't know what this is. I guess you are a fan of hers. Uh his point is that no matter how much Howard doesn't buy into her bullshit persona that's what he's going to get, and he's spot on. Did you watch the Letterman interview? It'd be the same thing- short, suggestive, bullshit answers that carry on the 'Gaga mystique' she's going for, which just comes across to us as annoying and stupid. Howard would be asking her about her life and trying to get her to expand upon some interesting fact about her upbringing from his notes and she'd be answering as lady gaga the character and it would just be harrable. That's my guess anyway, I'd still like to hear her on the show to see if Howard could break through the character eventually, but Snark's point was that she likely won't budge from it. And the 'open sexuality' thing means that she wouldn't bat an eye when Howard asked her if she did anal. Or she'd stay in-character and do the annoying cutesy "That's very inappropriate for you to ask" and ugh. Same reason he generally doesn't have hacky character comedians on as a rule of thumb- most of the interview is dedicated to breaking through the character which just annoys the poo poo out of Howard. rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Jun 6, 2011 |

It was an incredibly boring interview, with Howard asking "Well aren't you embarrassed, do you feel you went wrong" and such and Mrs. Hilton going "She's just like any other girl, she calls me up crying sometimes because of the mean things they say in public" bla bla bla.

Try to catch the show from the very beginning if you can, the Benjy montage / discussion is great.

Artie was truly a fan of a show and often acted as the voice of the audience, I agree that the chair desperately needs to be filled and am quite honestly surprised that Howard genuinely doesn't seem to care that it's obviously dampening the show. Not having that extra voice, I mean. And Fred seems to be getting senile or something, there was one point during the Evil Dave bit where Howard was like "Fred don't you have something to play for this?" referring to every time Evil Dave would drop a bomb on the conversation, and he was totally right. There's often silence where Fred's clips used to light up the show, and the lack of that other voice- ugh. I really enjoy listening to old shows more than the live broadcasts now and it's depressing

Gary brought up that his son wants the new Kanye CD and he doesn't know where he should go to buy it. Howard: Where would you go to even buy a CD these days? Everyone downloads off of itunes! Robin: Well you can still go to a barns and noble, or a borders...though borders is closing, haha. Where will you go? Meanwhile nearly every store that sells electronics in the known universe has a rack of CDs at checkout. I'm not usually bothered by the 'cast members are out of touch' moments but this one was just ridiculous, as if not a single member of the show knows that places like walmart or target or, gently caress, grocery stores sell CDs?

I'm loving the interview with the screenwriter who looks like Howard. The dude's such a whack job, every answer he gives is insanely long winded and full of pointless details and he wrote a self-insert screenplay called "Becoming Howard" in the hopes that he'll get publicity from his one appearance on the show and that Howard will actually be in his movie when he doesn't even listen to the show  Howard's just so hosed in the head because the guy apparently looks a lot like him and wears fruity outfits while going to a lot of the same places Howard does, and running into other famous people. It's just great how Howard gets more and more bothered by the whole thing. e: When they asked how old his kids were he asked if they wanted to see pictures, he's just such an 'old guy' haha e2: Holy poo poo, they keep him around after the break because Howard's obsessed with how the guy's identical to him and that he frequents the hamptons and now they're going to try to trick Dave Navarro, I love it rawdog pozfail fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Aug 11, 2011 |
