I fucking hate Ronnie so much, but I find myself saying his catch phrases under my breath all the time. If I had a dollar for every time I muttered, “68!” “NASCAR! Yes, sir!” or “Topless. T-o-p-l-e-s-s,” I would be a rich man.
“NIGGALESS CAGE! PAMELAR ANDERSON! And the comedy stylings of Greg Giraldo! Me? I’m Stuttering John! Here’s Jayyyyy Lenooooo!”
It was good. Dave was way more outgoing than I expected. Howard needled him repeatedly to play Crash, which Dave clearly didn’t want to play. See you at the show later this month?
possibly. I've gone with my sister the last few years, which is nice because she buys my ticket and pays for everything else. I'm pretty indifferent to DMB shows now though, so we'll see. Still kicking myself for not seeing Foo Fighters when they came a few months back.
Well, I try not to miss the Tampa tour stop, so I’ll be there. Let me know if you make it so I can make sure to not find you.
With all this talk of music I figured I'd liven the place up. Back to a better day when real music was king as was Howard. The theme song to his Channel 9 show:
This was such a great week. From Benjy dropping a condom in the studio, to the Sharknado retrospective, to Richard and Sal on the panel, to all the unforgettable clips of JD over the last 10 years, to Howard talking about his mom soaking his dirty underwear in the kitchen sink.....just reminds me why it’s my favorite show of all time. So what if it’s 3 days a week and they take vacation every other week. It’s fucking gold.
Howard, at a complete loss, trying to make some sense of it: “Why. Cause you love cheese doodles? Or did your ass smell like cheese?” Or Artie: “I get it. You’re trying to be ironic? Like when a ginormous fat guy names himself Tiny”
Fuck stuttering John. Also the first two shows this week being essentially all les moonves has been, well, not what I like. My entire hour and a half commute on Monday was Howard doing les moonves and julie chang - ugh. I can take it mixed in but shit man...that was too much. I fucking love Howard and have been a daily listener since 2006 and Howard can essentially do no wrong but that was way too much. I get it because moonves fucked Howard and was a dick and legal battles, etc but good lord. I love Howards impressions, especially when he does his parents......I think I could have enjoyed a whole segment of that but the moonves shit I didnt like after about 30. Mix it in, ok. Like today with the puppets but still.......theres been a lot. Loved the bit about the reverse private parts though where robin was played by nick cannon who might one day show howard her penis (and she also did anal over a sink one time). Also - if you google "tradio wheres ray" that is a good one. Additional also - the one where richard and sal keep trying to call tradio from the same home phone and sell a lawnmower and interrupting each other. Or the scooter one.
put the show down. it's like watching a terminally ill animal stumble around, clinging to life for reasons outside its grasp.
Was such a fan from the early 2000s all the way through the Artie years. Would listen when I could the past few years. Let my Sirius subscription expire earlier this year, and haven't really missed it. Saw a clip of Howard/Robin/Fred the other day on Youtube, and my god they look dated. Agree with the above post, time to put it down.
The problem is, everyone that would tell him the show sucks is gone. He's surrounded by a bunch of cackling yes men. It's really bad.
We should be so lucky. With the exception of a missing Howard this was the greatest lineup of all time. Now that Howard became what he once despised I don't think that lineup would miss him. I'd listen.
It was funny at first to me, but he beat it into the ground like he does with so much the past few years.
