Sal wasn't a good stockbroker, he seems like the type to scramble between jobs, hoping he gets lucky. So his panic is real, he would have a hard time adjusting from his current job of basically playing around with Richard and going back to doing crooked math in a boiler room. He was probably crying more about losing his cushy playtime job. If he was actually crying.

adamj1982 posted:I think Sal and Richard would both be fine. During Howard's last contract renewal, when they pranked Sal by telling him that Howard was leaving, I could not understand Sal's breakdown about not being able to support his boys. I don't imagine Sal's paycheck at Sirius being exponentially larger than that of his stockbroker job. For supporting 3 kids, yea, he's no doubt stretched financially but I think where he and Christine were before the kids, especially with what she seems to be accustomed to driving and wearing, tells me his boiler room job probably gave him quite a bit of disposable income.

When Howard leaves the live show, I'd think they'd still have the Howard channels on Sirius, re-running old material like syndication for TV. If they still had new shows I know that I'd listen to a Sal and Richard show about any sort of silly poo poo they'd come up with, if it was on there or if it was their own channel/podcast/etc. Granted, their popularity would still be because of Howard, but those guys are funny in their own right. In terms of raw skill and talent (not counting Howard's broadcasting skills, which are untouchable obviously) I think Richard has everyone on the staff beat by a mile -- he is a goddamn virtuoso drummer. I remember when he played for them and they were blown away and Ralph called in to say how useless that talent was. Berry-faced douchebag

Fred was probably the most impressed in the studio, whether he vocalized it or not, coming from his musician background.

I've got that 3 month free trial going in my car and every time I turned on channel 100 this weekend that goddamned Bradley Cooper interview was playing. I haven't really heard anything that would make me want to pay for Sirius. Also, I'm assuming they're taking this entire week off? I had to listen to a Roseanne Barr interview from 1998 on my way to work today.

picosecond posted:DirecTV shows N&A on one of their TV channels. I've watched bits & pieces - when they have comedians on and Artie jokes around with them, it's pretty funny. Then Nick starts up with the half-assed sports talk and it loses me completely. After that I mainly watch for the Maxim girls. What's the deal with the Maxim girls? Did they replace Twinsanity?

I'm a little unhappy with N&A since they moved to TV because there is so little Dan and Twinsanity. Before TV Dan was involved in the conversations like 50% of the time, now it's more like 1%. Also the twins have been relegated to the last minute of the show except for the one night they did stand up. The silver lining is of course Mike Boschetti. "It's so moist."

I'm still enjoying the show, but I'm a pretty big sports fan. The only things that turn me off are Nick's politics, the live music and Twinsanity. It's better than the 145 things that turned me off the Stern show the past 4 years.

No. Last week they had that Bigfoot impersonator in for a day, and he was actually pretty funny. He got into a fight with ETM and it was just insult after insult that made the whole studio (and myself) crack up.

Artie is getting an epidural because he's so fat that his spine can't support his own weight and he ruptured a disk. Can't wait.

It's as if they just have him sit in the "Artie Chair" whenever they feel like it. I personally enjoy when they have Shuli in. His impressions are pretty funny and he jumps into conversations at the right time (mostly). Definitely better than an empty chair. Also, after listening to those shows with the "Computer Girl who sites in the Artie Chair" bits, I have to say that those were passive aggressive as hell. I found the bits somewhat amusing, but after listening to them recently, I found them very weird.

Bigfoot Junior is the funniest thing to happen to the show since Artie left. This is not an exaggeration. Dude says whatever the gently caress he wants and goes out of Howards comfort zone, throwing the human being word around and rape. I teared up laughing at the stupid poo poo he says. I hope he comes in every day, and if not maybe once a month or something like George Tekei.

Howard has been saying stuff like "Just so you know, that wasn't the real person" "I was laughing at something else, not that tragic news story" and "We didn't write that" when somebody adlibs something shocking. I guess he is trying to shuffle off that shock jock label, but also a lot of that is just with age and fame, you tend to lose your edge like that. It's hard for a nearly 60 year old man to talk out of his butt and wish cancer on people.

This is part of Howard's retirement plan. He's getting out of radio, but he'll end up doing something like America's Got Talent until he dies because he can't actually give up work. He's working on his new image, "America's Judge."

Breeding itself isn't inherently evil, but suffers from two problems. First, backyard breeding: every dipshit thinks that he can do it, and that it's a great way to make some easy money on the side. Second, it's a perfect half-hearted excuse for a lot of pet owner's to not fix their pets: "Oh, I'm going to breed him some day."

I am uneasy with a lot of dog breeding, because in some situations they're breeding dogs for certain appearances or physical traits. And that can go to extremes (I read somewhere that many bulldogs have to be delivered by Caesarian section, which is hosed up if true). Breeding dogs to make the best herders/retrievers/hunters you can get is one thing, but when you obsess over appearance, it can get creepy. But I'm not going to fight a holy war or anything over it.

It's funny, cause isn't Beth 40 by now? If I had a house in the Hamptons with 780 chimneys I'd probably trade out my first trophy wife for something younger. Wonder if Beth ever gets nervous about that.

Maybe Beth is thinking he'll be similarly slow to get around to ditching her.

I think Howard will stick around. I don't think he's bullshitting about his decreasing libido. So now he just needs someone to take care of him in all other aspects and be on his arm at functions, and I'm sure she'll keep herself presentable-looking well into her 60s. Ah, romance ...

Not to mention he obsesses over and orders 8+ iPad mini cases over his Thanksgiving break. I just got to the part in the show where they play clips of Riley Martin, holy poo poo he sounds worse than ever which is saying a lot. Dude can't even spit out his own name.
