Yeah I have been drumming for about 10 years and the only way I got faster playing double bass is just practicing it as much as hand technique which a lot of people don't do. A lot of the old school death metal guys use ankle weights while practicing to build calf/shin muscles ie. Gene Hoglan. It really does help. Pretty sad that no one on the show really understands that he played on the last album of one of the most influential bands of genre.

So, how did everyone like Howards segment on how podcasts are for losers, and broadcast is the best.

btw, how is Artie Langes PODCAST doing?


I'm sure Howard has not even heard of it, what? Artie Lange? Who is he?

I wouldn't be surprised if he never listened to a podcast in his life. I like the GO TO A REAL RADIO STATION AND GET FOLLOWERS, yeah because we all know how fun that is, getting fired multiple times and saying poo poo your not supposed to. I am pretty surprised he isn't a bigger podcast supporter honestly.

Listened to the Rogan podcast. I love Artie, but I burned out on him not too long ago. It's amazing that a guy who went through everything he went through lose himself so easily to apathy and lethargy. He made references to "withdrawals" in a joking fashion (sure), also talking about his podcast in a real flippant manner, yet - genuinely ecstatic to be in a billiards group with fellow comedians.

He has a spark in there somewhere, it's just tragic that we have to see him go out in this Farley-esque fashion of never hitting bottom. Talk about a guy who is incredibly resilient, I still wonder when I will see his lonely death make headlines online and in print. :(

Yeah I know what you mean, it is hard to feel sorry for someone who really doesn't seem to give a poo poo. I remember He and Howard had that Bro Fight like 5 years ago, and Artie was gonna quit the show and turn his life around and nothing happened.

From what the rumors say, the most likely guess is Richard. If that's the case, it really sucks. I'm going to be very disappointed and I'm just going to stick to YouTube videos from now on.

If one leaves the other one should as well, can't break the team. My hope is Benjy.

Why did Richard say he doesn't ever do hallucinogenic drugs?

I know Richard said he only drinks, I think he was afraid of getting a psychiatric condition or something?

Yeah, waltzing into a radio station in a snall-to-mid-size market and asking for a job or a show is a really antiquated concept, and is something that a lot of baby boomers including Howard don't seem to grasp. Just because it worked for you almost 40 years ago, doesn't mean it will work now.

And radio in particular is an industry that is falling off a cliff in every way. Without even looking at the numbers of how many jobs get cut each year in terrestrial markets, check out iHeart's stock performance:

Kind of.

He is just jealous of the new technology I feel. Like literally anyone can start a podcast, which you think Howard would be behind 100 percent, but he went through a lot of poo poo in order to get where he is. Like you can tell Howard isn't one of these celebrities who likes going to parties and doing dumb poo poo. He probably works on the show like every hour of everyday, maybe not so much anymore, but the idea of someone just flipping on a mic, whenever they want, at their convince doesn't really resonate with him I feel.

that is kind of like saying there "X number of youtube shows". I don't know what makes something an official podcast or not, but a lot of dudes are more than willing to ramble into a microphone for an hour, three times a week. The trick is getting people to listen or pay you to speak. I'd say the number of "successful" podcasts is even lower.

I don't know if I'd call Artie's podcast successful yet or not.

Yeah that is what I was thinking, it didnt specify if it were ALL podcasts or just the ones on iTunes.

Yeah, that video was such a desperate attempt to go viral off the heat. Just like how morning zoo guys in the middle of nowhere will try to start a "war" with people. Maybe Ari should have tried dropping the bomb a few times to get noticed, cause just punching up towards Stern isn't a good way to get noticed.

I was really hoping for Ari to go on the show and explain the internet to the staff.

He would be more open to it if he knew what you could really do with technology. Look at Anthony Cumia. The dude has a legit studio and is doing more of a radio show than a podcast, with a decent following from O and A, from his house.

Though I do agree, Howard likes making money and having a boss, can't really blame him for that.

I would honestly consider myself a closeted Stern fan - I know a few people who are big fans, but occasionally I'll bring up being a fan of the show and I've noticed that a lot of people bring up the Whack Pack specifically and why they can't listen to him - they feel as if Howard is taking advantage of mentally handicap people for entertainment and that rubs them the wrong way.

I can honestly say I've felt the same way from time to time - I can't think of any specific bits, but there are occasions where I wonder if I've grown out of Stern's antics (I don't listen to the show anymore - I just follow this thread).

Does anybody else ever feel bad about Howard's use of handicap people? How do you justify it in your head? Have you ever had to defend the show when friends bring up certain whack packers (Beet, Wendy the Retard, Gary the Retard, etc).

The way I see it, yeah Howard is using them for entertainment, but they seem pretty comfortable being on the show, because they don't see it like they are being used, its not there fault, hell some of them seem to love it at times. I am sure Howard is giving them some money on the side too, not a lot, but Im sure something. Howard is an entertainer first. Some of the whack pack things get kind of old, I'll be honest, but Howard Im sure deep down feels for them in some way.

Keep in mind, most people like Bigfoot end up broke and homeless, sadly, but that is the reality.
