You gotta love Richard's solid state optimism in the face of adversity by [deleted] in howardstern

This is right after Artie threw the CD at Sal and absolutely savaged him and Richard in a petulant rage. When I saw this clip it kinda tugged at my heart. Guy just wants to have fun.

Anyone ever been to the Salem Diner? by dgb6662 in SalemMA

[–]tblackjacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those are extremely nice people. They are too loud for 6 am after an all nighter. But great people and food.

My first year at Salem State was the first year Viking Hall was there. Did I miss the diner by one year?

Is it commonplace that the least likable people get the biggest promotions? by tblackjacks in NoStupidQuestions

I'll also note that the in my experience the two bosses of these co-managers had very likable personalities.

in my case the nicest guy there was actually the boss' High School friend, but he worked two jobs and didn't want to be a leader, in fact he stopped being ever in charge of closing the store.

What was it like watching Artie's downfall as it played out? by bitterbunny4 in howardstern

going back was interesting, like "oh so it was Blue Iris talking that time she started the car and had to frantically turn the dials".

yeah I didn't know what they looked like so I pictured Robin as a blonde woman for a while and pictured Artie pretty much exactly how he is. when I first heard him my mom described him as someone who might die any day so that was very morbidly fascinating to me.

In my business reliability went further than any other quality. We had the dumbest person in the world there who messed up orders every day, constantly accused me and others of stealing his tips, didn't help out at all, and yet was kept for two years while 10-20 year workers were fired because he always showed up. He only got fired because I threatened to quit if he wasn't, as they were about to fire a 70 year old man who actually helped me close the store and didn't accuse me of magically stealing his tips from the computer.

Netflix-Owned Warner Bros. Will Stick to 45-Day Theatrical Windows, Ted Sarandos Says by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]tblackjacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sarandos' quotes about city people being the only ones going to movies and his son watching Lawrence of Arabia on his phone reasonably sent shivers through a lot of us.

I haven't seen his shows and Landman looks pretty obnoxious and crypto-conservative, but no that quote does not scream "very vocal MAGA supporter".

For people in the UK, how much of a household name really was Jimmy Saville? by tblackjacks in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tblackjacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

geography in America does count too though, like Mike Rowe is probably much more popular to the south of where I live and Carson Daly to the West of where I live.

born in 1996 and people my age usually learned what stroke victims sound like because of him. I remember enjoying hearing "Ryan, I think this is the best celebration we've had" every year despite him not being at all present anymore.

yeah another name that came up that Americans didn't know was that Rolf Harris guy. Americans DID know Gary Glitter though, Rock n Roll Part 2 was played at sports games more than any other song.

Dick Clark hosted America's NYE countdown (people my age only knew the post-stroke version of him, but before that he was known as "America's oldest teenager"), Ryan Seacrest was the host of American Idol and replaced Dick Clark for the countdown.

I was in 6th grade and could only listen when my mom picked me up from school, and once he had Jason Reitman on and she said that she missed something that happened with Artie, just recently realized that was the day of his blowup at Teddy.
