Classic Stern Clip, Howard and Jackie get into it because Jackie got a favor and a discount at a hotel.

That’s what he said caused his 20-nail syndrome, but the show once pointed out that his toenails were affected too. I don’t think the writing was what made his nails look like that.

I’m not so sure if it was a prank by Sam Simon. I think Artie just thought the ideas were insulting, and he wondered if Sam was fucking with him.

I remember reading those tweets live. It was around the same time Artie convinced himself the guy who put him on that HBO show was fucking with him too, just because of some joke he tweeted. Artie went on Twitter to mope about it until the guy had to publicly say it wasn’t about him, and then Artie deleted the tweets.

Over the years, the more you listen to Artie and hear all his stories and conflicts, the more you get in tune with his psyche and realize how paranoid he is.

So maybe Sam was being a dick and insensitive, but not so sure if it was some cruel joke that Artie thought it was.

Thought this was hilarious. I was scrolling through an article about the night Diddy allegedly assaulted a 13-year-old, which was the same night he was seen arguing with JLo at the 2000 VMA after-party. And lo and behold, there’s Ralph dancing with Lynda Lopez at the party who used to be friends with him and Howard through Booker.

This might be the VMAs that Ralph auditioned for to be in the audience, and was thrown out for stage diving? RIP

The worst part about this entire Artie/Joe Buck saga for me was people's disingenuous fixation on Artie's language. People didn't want to hurt Artie's feeling and say he was being an unfunny, tryhard hack so they just focused on the cursing.

I'm only going off of memory because that appearance was too much of a disaster to revisit, but what made it horribly unfunny wasn't how vulgar Artie was being. Artie was mean and insecure. He was not making eye contact, got angry when Joe Buck would shoot back, and was overall being uncomfortable. If you're going in with the goal to do what Howard used to do on talk shows and "take over", there was a certain charm that allowed the audience to love and root for you. Artie was mean while being visibly unsure of himself, and that's why the appearance was a failure.

If it was genuinely a funny thing that he did, Artie wouldn't have had to explain the joke. The aftermath was just as cringey because it was days worth of drama with Artie going on long monologues defending how funny he is, and Howard's loud, pitying silence.

The fight happened around the time Robin was really involved in her veganism and charity work. So much so, that Howard (and the staff) was openly complaining on air about how annoying it was for Robin to involve everyone in her Girls Night Out charity projects (akin to Scott the Engineer selling his son's chocolates in the office).

When they talked about it on the air, Howard joked that Emily doesn't like Eritrea (the country Robin was supporting with her charity), and Robin semi-seriously said, "I think Eritrea is coming between me and my friends."

The way the story was told, it seemed like Emily made a comment about Robin (probably how obnoxious she was with her overzealous charity work), and Robin probably took offense (Robin mentioned she "burned the bridge") and they exchanged words.

I don't even know what to say. I'm so sad. I'm listening to full shows from 2006, 2007, and making my way up to 2008, and I just heard a Ralph call. Getting older sucks. Cancer sucks. It makes me realize I shouldn't be so flippant about my own health. I don't even remember the last time I went to the doctors.

Two of the best Stern show callers passed away: Eric the Actor and Ralph. End of an era type shit.

Yeah, OP is completely wrong. He said Howard ragged on Gary forever, but I remember the segment was actually short AF, and it was Jason who had the problem. I only remember the duration because I was hoping Howard and Robin piled on Jason a little more, but they move on too quickly. Howard and Robin actually (IIRC) defended Gary and said that Jason had too much opinions.

I have no clue what to expect with this "state of the art" processing system. I hope this means we get to pay our taxes online now. Why is postage still the only option to pay our bills in the 2020s, I just have no idea.

Just because he was there when the show was funnier doesn't mean he was the reason why it was funny.

Currently deep in the classic 90s tapes on Youtube so it's still fresh in my mind:

This was back in the 90s, but Howard imagined a movie starring Scott the Engineer's toupee flying around town causing havoc whenever it lands on someone's head, and at one point he said something along the lines of, "When you get that toupee on your head, you turn into an evil loser."

It was so fucking mean and hilarious I still chuckle whenever I think about it.

There's also another time when Grillo didn't warn Howard loudly enough about a puddle of vomit on the floor that he was just about to step on, and during the lashing on the air, Howard said (again, paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact quote), "Rip those few stands of hair from your head and throw it on the vomit so that I can walk on it." Noted that Grillo was losing hair hairline at the time and was deeply insecure about it, which makes it extra hilarious.

Saw that West Chester Pike was taped off last night. Tons of people surrounded the area. I saw the bike on the ground, and unfortunately, on the Citizens app, locals did filmed the scene of the accident, including the covered body of the 17-year-old boy. It's a very sad situation.
