With the exception of Ralph, no one on the show works for Howard. They all negotiate with Sirius.

Just like back on the KROCK days, they all negotiated with the radio station.

So I wonder if Howard really got pissed off at one of the staff and wanted them off his show, could he actually get them fired, or would Sirius just transfer them over to another channel in the building.

I've noticed that I can't get through a show without yelling "shut the gently caress up Robin," especially during interviews.

Am I alone here?


there's no way I'm alone here


Also, I'm listening to the show last week with Jimmy KImmel and am blown away that it took another person to point out to Ronnie the double entendre of the More-Ronnie show. I mean the guy is ignorant as gently caress.

Ronnie is at Eric the Midget levels of unawareness that he's being trolled.


That level is someone thinking they are a star and not the butt of a joke.

Howard actually seems like a decent photographer too. My Father in law took up photograph a few years ago and I think the vast majority of his photos don't look as professional as Howie's do. However, Howard does have a lot more money to spend on lighting equipment and is married to a beautiful model, as horse faced as she is.

I read the book "The Game" by that guy who interviewed Howard for Rolling Stone a few months back. It was ridiculous. Apparently you can get hot chicks by kind of insulting them when you first meet them. It's called "Droppin' Negs." Maybe that's why everyone calls Beth horse faced.


Also, I only read the game when I wanted something lighter than "The Big Short" (which was awesome, but I'm obviously making excuses as to why I was reading the game).

I think calling a girl horse faced would be taking it a bit too far. Saying "Hey nice dress, did you make that from a shower curtain" is one thing.
Saying "Hey you look like a loving horse" is totally different. On the other hand, if it works then hey....

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
Well Gary's a prick for exploiting Artie's issues to make money so I guess they're even. Seriously, that's a book about his childhood and oh, look, he's cramming in a chapter about the show in the paperback to try and sell more copies.

That's cash grab bullshit so gently caress Gary.

That's pretty drat low. Gary just wants to sell some more books and figures the only way is to go through Artie. I hope he gets reamed for it, but I imagine nothing will be said because it's still a touchy subject.

Artie doesn't need Gary crying in public over their relationship & talking about his drug use. Unbelievable.

Howard doesn't want to even bring Artie on air to visit, because he's not sure how he'll react..

I can see Howard not mentioning this on the show but reaming Gary behind the scenes. Gary is a gigantic prick for doing this.

Macklin, you son of a bitch
So Howard won't talk about Artie and his breakdown, etc on the air because he feels it is inappropriate, but Gary thinks it is okay to talk about in his stupid book?

Gary is also a huge human being pussy for taking being berated like a child for years and years by Howard. He has nothing interesting to add to anything, and that book is a loving joke. Lists of songs that sound good on a jukebox? Booking Joan Rivers six times a year? He's a horrible producer. Fire him and keep will and jason.

I will also go on record as saying that Gary will claim that no one had a problem when Artie added a chapter about drug use in Too Fat To Fish so why is everyone saying something now.

Yeah. 3 days a week is pretty weak, and it'll totally become a permanent thing. Making that deal pretty much shows he doesn't give a poo poo what people think anymore.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu

Not to shift blame, but at this point we saw it coming. Howard doesn't give a poo poo and spent a lot of time this year softsoaping the fans so they could stay on (interviews, being charming during them, et cetera). Those who are really bothered by it are already gone or downloading the show online.

I have some grudging respect for what he's doing. He's basically doing a controlled fade away. He continues to play up the fact that he's still relevant to his hardcore fans and at public appearances, but at the same time he's doing everything he can to undermine his own legacy in practice. Here's the thing though: the appearance is what matters in show business. If Howard continues to maintain the appearance until he's doing one show a month where he interviews Joan Rivers and has Deee-Lite playing an acoustic version of "Groove Is In The Heart" over and over again, he still sort of wins.
