Oh, you like Mrs. Feldstein; you think she's a good mother? Feh. Her son had cancer and she took him to a Doctor on Long Island. Believe you me if my son were sick I would take him to the best Doctor in Manhattan!

Gifts that he normally hates giving out. edit: That house is loving awesome, he is living in a dream. I hope he understands that and this whole sit inside and hate everything and fear life is just bullshit.

Reminder: as little as he works now, as much money as he has, as much as he's accomplished... He is miserable. I take comfort in that. Why do you think he gave up karate, chess, painting and, soon to be, photography? It's because he's only good at radio. As much as there is competition out there - whether it be conservative radio (O'Reilly, Rush, Hannity) or Howard-clones (O&A, Bubba, Imus), he's still the best at it. Even if his loving show sucks now. Of course, due to all of the above, I wait for the day to tune in again when his wife leaves him, he loses his pets and house, and his subscribers dash out in droves. I like it when he's angry. Call me crazy.

Howard on a day where he isn't sparked up is BORING. Having nice bland interviews with polite guests and talking about how he had dinner out on Friday is not great radio. Howard going balistic about almost anything is at least passionate. And I too take solice in the fact that no matter how great his life is, on the inside he is numb and he just wishes he could genuinely feel something. Hence why Richard crying always amazes Howard.

I don't know that the whole "money doesn't buy happiness" is true. If I had that kind of money I'd have an east and a west coast house and travel to Europe and stay for a month or two, go out to bars and bang hot chicks, etc. The one happiness you might not find though is a partner who actually loves you for you and not the lifestyle, a la Beth. How hard is it for her to put up with a little neuroses and two minute gently caress sessions to be indulged of the world of living like a millionaire.

She's a trophy wife, and the real issue is that Howard has no idea who he really is. He's hosed in the head and needs some serious help that doesn't kowtow to his millionaire status. In a way, he doesn't have it all. He just has a really crappy house to store his chimney collection so he can be alone with all of his demons. What Howard really needs is the humility and will to fix his problems. At this point he doesn't have a therapist, he has a paid-for best friend.

I doubt anyone cares but I thought this was interesting. Today's show was a clip show and one of the clips was from March 2003. Anyways, I guess Gary was given $1000 free on a betting website to bet on a college basketball game. Artie was giving Gary advice and told him that Syracuse giving 5 points to Auburn was a slam dunk bet, "a five star bet" and was raving about how much money he was going to make on the bet. They didn't play the show from the next day (or if they did I missed it) but I looked up the game and Syracuse won but only by 1 point. I wonder how much Artie ended up losing on that bet

Or on free-base, I'm not sure Anyways, nobody is blaming Beth for Howards issues, I don't know where you get that one from. She's basically a realdoll trophy wife for Howard. Howard is in therapy for one reason, and that reason is his mother. She really did a number on him and trying to please and outshine his father is a big part of it too. That's why he's in therapy. The only thing that really bothers me is that he doesnt give a gently caress about us anymore.

I think part of that series of shows has Artie telling the story about how his buddy would sometimes bet on day hockey games after they had finished and their bookie didnt catch on for a while, then he proceeds to threaten their lives while in a McDonalds on Ash Wednesday.

It's why he can't even twitter anymore, it's why he doesnt go on SFN, he's VERY sensitive to what his fans think. OR at least was. The show is on autopilot now. Your second statement is spot on though, I agree with that. He really is just paying to have someone to bitch to however he IS getting, I think, some insight into all his bitching and neuroses.

Anywhere you go, usually the people who want to hate and complain are stronger, more so on the internet. I don't blame him for hating twitter, feedback online is usually worthless because it is just the people bored/deranged enough to bother to voice their opinions.

I don't think Howard ever really cared about his fans, but he cared about ratings, so he provided the fans with some brilliant comedy for more than a decade. No more ratings now, so no more need to care. He takes as many days off as he can, there are no "writing meetings", no more ball-busting, and he's surrounded by yes-men. It really was some of the funniest stuff anywhere, and it was on five days a week for hours each day.

Both walked away without losing any money.

People always roll their eyes when I say Howard Stern is the greatest entertainer/comedy show of all time, but it's the truth. In its prime, there was nothing on earth with as much funny content as Stern & Co. One day I hope I'll be able to buy a box set of commercial free, 1990-2007 shows for a couple grand and just live off it forever.

Do you remember classics like Homo-cop? Timeless stories like "Jackie's cat gets run over and the staff mocks him endlessly", or the countless times when Howard explains his anal fissures and wiping ceremony? Well thanks to Time Life Collection, you can now.
