A Stern-run website that would have access to clips from the show would never, ever be as good as the poo poo thrown on YouTube. It really is a bummer if they all get taken down.

People are really funny when it comes to video hosting sites. Think about the outrage when Netflix regularly changes their layout or content, or about the number of people who don't use Hulu or Amazon Prime because of the poor UI (myself included). If everything isn't exactly perfect on a new website, the users will complain and the content will suffer as a result.

If it was up to me, I would just find a way to monetize the episodes on YouTube, maybe put them up for rentals. $1 per episode or something.

So the show's Snapchat just posted a picture of a TV control room with the title "Mission Control".

They're rebuilding HowardTV which almost certainly means he's either re-upping or continuing somewhere else because there's zero chance they'd be doing this with 5 months left on the contract. Something is definitely up.

Gimmie a call when they reanimate ETM or give Richard his own daily one hour show. Until then I ain't paying for XMSRS again.

I can't see the show continuing unless they get a whole new Wack Pack. Eric is dead, Hank is gone, when was the last time Beet was in? High Pitch Eric is at death's door, Hanzi is a poor substitute and Bobo being banned was the best thing he's ever done on the show. Jeff is in a purgatory state worse than death, Artie can't return and Benjy is loving torture in that seat. Frankly, as much as the show has given us, I'd rather see it cut its losses instead of putting out a mediocre product.

Beet was in last year and is possibly coming in soon. He's with Bobby at his place so I wouldn't be surprised. I don't disagree with anything you're saying I just wanted to let you know and I'm excited.

Most of the HowardTV guys have moved on, some work at P Diddy's production company now. Greg Karmel, the last HTV to stick around after the shutdown, recently quit, and I remember the crew recently talking about Richie Wilson's farewell party since he's apparently moving to Florida. If Howard does resign and bring back a television component to the show, it would probably have to be with a new crew and outfit.

Anyone have any clips of Artie or Fred doing Jeff the Drunk impressions? I loving love when Fred, in his Jeff voice, says something almost poignant or on-point, it's so good. I want to think of an example, but I can't.

He didn't have a choice there did he? Didn't someone else take over the E! Network who wanted nothing to do with the show? Also I could see it causing issues when they got to Sirius (why pay for a show when a best-of is being played on TV every night)?

Normally you'd just chalk it up to a horrible, bored wife(she was stalking Facebook baby pics) being the overbearing oval office and forcing him to do this despite how humiliating it looks but Doug is such a weasel piece of poo poo you know he instantly shook his head in agreement.

This and the fight where Grillo and Gange won't leave Stuttering John's apartment are infuriating to listen to because there's not even remotely a place where a sane person goes "you know, they do kinda have a point".

quote:

The company had a $926,466.71-contract for brand new cabinet in Stern’s beachfront mansion, and the last payment was due in April.

Stern and his leggy wife Beth paid $52 million for the property in 2013. Then, partly because Beth complained that her closet in their 18,000-square-foot mansion was too small, the Sterns decided to spend another $10 million on renovations that included a 1,000-square-foot closet for her clothes and shoes.

What kind of person do you have to be to work for a charity but then spend money on bullshit like this? A million dollars for loving kitchen cabinets? $10 million to add 1,000 sq ft (the size of my first apartment) to a goddamn closet?

I've never seen this video before but it's loving beautiful. Especially the last 10 minutes or so where Doug is awkwardly trying to joke around and play it cool in the hallway. The we watch a sad suburban man rant to himself while moving tiny jeans and sweaters from one bag to another.

People who actually spend money on baby clothes should be smacked repeatedly. It's such a douche faux-nouveau riche thing to do that the people who do it should be ostracized and mocked for it at all opportunities.

Also I'm staring at that picture of Howard's mansion and trying to figure out the tiny 800sqft of it that Stern uses for 95% of the time he's in the place.

Ehhhh, everybody knows someone whose had babies, and they're so lightly used that they can be passed around practically forever. Plus, outside of winter little babies rarely need anything short of onesies. On top of all that, baby fashion can be really douchey and overpriced.

That said, weird thing to get angry over. Sometimes the poo poo is really drat cute.

Weird to get angry over, yes, but not everyone has access to absolutely everything they need from someone's secondhand stash, especially if that stash is either covered in dog hair (despite "being washed") or you're concerned at all about bed bugs.

Have any of you had bed bugs? It's a living nightmare.

I really love how self-aware Artie is. This song, and many other things he's said, seems to be him preparing his friends for his own death.
