no, definitely no bad blood there and Artie isn't mad but this is part of Howard's typical behavior concerning responsibility. he hates being remotely responsible for anything(how many times does he tell someone he isn't their boss?) so this is just his defense mechanism. what I'm saying is there's no legitimate reason for not having Artie back and I think all Howard needs to do is ask and Artie is there in a heartbeat.
How can you say that there is no legitimate reason? This is bigger than Howard. Artie worked for Sirius, not Howard. Frankly I am surprise that he is being allowed back on their airwaves. I totally understand Howard not wanting him back. He was constantly absent, falling asleep during shows, and doing all kinds of things that would cause anyone else to be fired. I think it makes total sense to part ways at the point that they did. Artie was funny because of these things, and Howard did not want to keep encouraging and promoting that type of bad behavior. Artie was held to a different standard than other employees, and when it comes down to it, the show is a business, and he decided he can no longer do that and keep the rest of the show working how he wanted it.
Anybody else catch celebrity superfan round table? Natalie Maines is a cut above all the rest with her loyalty and dedication to the show.
I just figured howard was really shaken up about the suicide attempt and is terrified of doing anything to provoke his depression. He has a history so its not like its going away anytime soon.
favorite relationship. Im a big benjy fan, but this shit i going way to far...hopefully its just a mega troll on howard
yes and it couldn't have been more boring and frustrating to listen to. I just switched over to bubba the love sponge on terrestrial.
I feel this way about Robin. Her whole function is to kiss Howard's ass for 3 hours and then tolerate having her tits sung about for the half hour of her news. I swear to you I don't know how some of those guys put up with her criticizing them.
robin is obnoxious, delusional, and has a severe personality disorder. but she performs her grounding role adequately. also she has a pretty impressive ability to talk for long periods of time about anything which is useful on a 4 hour radio show.
I can only recall laughing at something Robin said once, and it was when she equated Benjy to a Christmas tree with all the decorations his girl is adding to him to make him look good.
Nothing about her passive-aggressive remarks and nervous laughter when she's on the receiving end of a razzing is witty
I can't think of one whack packer I'm entertained by except for Beetlejuice. Everyone else is a leech and just annoy the shit out of me.
You probably are, they entertain a lot of people though. But Debbie stresses me out with all that screaming and Eric makes me hate all crippled people
Never ceases to amaze how the same (non wack pack) callers get through all the time. Wheels, Pittsburgh Pete, Hook nose Mike, Tommy from Malden, etc. must have a private line they call.
Just openly laughed in line for breakfast at "Johnny checked Wikipedia and there are legitimately werewolves in Albuquerque"
Robin was called both witty and funny on a single page in this thread... My mind is literally blown. She's necessary to some degree, but I cannot stand her. Frankly, I can't stand 95% of the show, but Howard alone makes it worth listening to, which says a lot about him I suppose. I'm surprised they haven't brought in another comedian to replace Artie, though. Artie's act was getting a little bit old for me, but I think the show needs another voice instead of just Robin and Howard speaking 95% of the time.
I don't think you know what literally means. Also, I think Greg Fitzsimmons should get a shot in the Jackie chair. I think he could be good as long as he didn't talk too much.
I prefer the quick wittier comedians in the chair to Artie. Artie was just a very common comic. He did nothing for me at all outside of the stories of his fuck-up's. I like comedians like Adam Carrolo for the slot. Greg is fine, but there is something about him that bothers me; maybe the thing with him asking Howard to do the book prologue. I actually thought that Kevin Nealon was incredibly quick and dry today, and he played off of Howard very well.
One of the best weeks I can remember in a while. ETM and werewolves, Fake Herman Cain and I don't care, but that Benjy song is hilarious, as is his trolling. Every time I see his new look I laff.
Scripted with Johnny Fratto feeding him lines during calls imo. For example when they asked him the same math questions over a period of weeks and he could never remember the answer. Sounded totally phony to me. He's handicapped not retarded.
I like Benjy but yesterday I finally started to hate him. Also ETM on last Monday when Howard read his demands was possibly the best ever. I couldn't stop laughing. And Team Gary The Retard, every thing he does is GOLD
I feel this way about that fat fuck, Jason Kaplan. I'm fairly convinced that one day Debbie is going to off herself on the phone. You'll just hear a bunch of screaming about Ass Napkin and "Shelly" and then a gunshot.
Possibly the funniest pictures I have seen http://twitter.com/#!/sternshow/status/146594429669617664/photo/1/large
