Beetlejuice got new teeth

http://i27.tinypic.com/23w199k.jpg

I once visited Beetlejuice's website, where I clicked on and viewed what is still, literally, the most horrifying, degrading piece of video content I have ever seen: Beetlejuice, as a hired 'guest' at some meathead's bachelor party, having sex with a pair of miserable looking stripper/hookers, while rapey dudes chanted and pumped their fists in a circle around the action.

Seriously, it was absolutely soul-crushing on every level. I would rather watch a 2 Girls 1 Cup remake starring my grandparents than watch that again.

That said, the original version of The Beetlejuice Song is the single most important piece of music of the last 50 years.

'rapey dudes'

I saw Beetlejuice in my post office a few months ago. He walked in with a woman who looked just like him.

thats his sister

Anyway, more about these new teeth (I'm in a Stern-free country)... were Stern and the guys debating them? I remember them tearing into Ms. Howard Stern when she got her teeth capped.

chaki, can you hook up some more links?

those links work fine.

yeah, thanks! they wouldn't work for me before for some reason.

hey, thanks for posting these, chaki. i haven't heard stern since i downloaded the first sirius show.

today wyclef humped robin

Stay classy, Howard Stern!

Beetlejuice, as a hired 'guest' at some meathead's bachelor party, having sex with a pair of miserable looking stripper/hookers, while rapey dudes chanted and pumped their fists in a circle around the action.

Woah. I saw Beetlejuice in a bar near Lincoln Ctr once. He was there as part of the entertainment for a bachelor party and there were stripper-ish looking ladies in tow too. I guess I know what they were up to later that evening now. *shudders*

winamp has his show delayed one day if u find the shoutcast section and search for crystal and stern

link to video?

its in th radio section

How many times is Robin going to start her complaining by saying "Again..."

didn't this guy lose all credibility by trading in long-suffering wife for a model?

how would bangin a hot broad hurt his credibility

i basically think anyone who doesnt love stern is a ninny.

Howard Stern is marginally talented, but a philistine who lost his working-class-ignoramus cred when he traded long-suffering wife in for some chippie.

Given a choice of two doors, one marked "I'm a ninny" and the other "I love Howard Stern", I would always walk through the first and happily join my people on the other side.

take it to the ninny thread

It's already on my to-do list.

have fun, i'll be outside

Very worried about Howard Stern's credibility. How can I trust his fart jokes, now?

When you make ONE movie near the height of your fame and it's an autobiographical ode to how much you love your wife... well, who's the ninny when ya ditch her?

ditch her, i.e. giving her half your assets and agreeing to never talk about her on air again?

grading on the universal divorce curve

life wd be so much easier if hets didnt swear eternal love (lol)

i love howard stern and i'm still a ninny.

as for him losing credibility b/c he divorced his first wife ... really, that's so old hat that i don't feel like discussing it. if HS is to be believed, though, and without access to the divorce/property settlement papers, it had more to do with his workaholism than anything else. and just b/c he's divorced doesn't mean that he still doesn't love his original wife.

i mean, really, Howard is like an older brother that i never had but always wished that i did. and it didn't hurt that he was (is?) really kind of a nerdy guy himself (THAT gives him more credibility to many of his longtime fans than his marital status). sort of a "it gets better" for teenage hetero males in the NYC or Philly metro areas who grew up during the late 80s/early 90s. or that's what i think anyway.

i guess I just remember his AIDS jokes of the mid '80s

and that he doesnt know about anything except showbiz, there's that

oh, i don't dispute that he's said plenty of questionable (and downright ugly) things over the years. that's part of the price of admission, i suppose.

that he's become relatively gay-friendly in his middle age may be a sort of atonement for the AIDS jokes. though he still isn't above telling a gay joke.

He was screaming about Palin being a C**T last week, so he's okay with me on some level.

Didn't he have something to say about Piers Morgan, or was that newspaper misrepresentation (UK Press division)

Well, this is it: A statement 'needs' to be made about this, specifically because he made such an issue about it during this film and the book.

Which he may well have done, so I don't know.

I bought the book on my first visit to NY (read it on the flight back), and rented the movie some time after it came out, he's not that big over here (although he's been on the Chris Evans TFIFriday prog, eventually deciding they both were kindred spirits after all (and then left each other alone, thank F)...

He did an interview with Piers last week for his new show, it's worth having a look as PM tries to be all combative at first and Stern just blows through it all, like he's heard it all a million times before, kinda funny.

I watched the first half hour of the interview. Howard came off well I thought, deflecting Piers without much difficulty. The next day on Howard's show he was saying in retrospect that he was sorry he didn't get to talk about what he was promoting until much later in the interview. Having the guest schill for their product is standard interview practice in America -- perhaps this is not the case in England, so they may have been playing different ballgames to start with. So no one came out the winner. Sweeping the camera around the ground, shooting up, and the weird blue 80s vibe of Piers' studio were somewhat distracting.

Also awaiting judgemental commentary from Howard about Oprah's sister

Having the guest schill for their product is standard interview practice in America

It is here, also, but then again, the ones PMorg does here are more "shill by association", i.e. the artists (eg) has a new album out, everyone kinda knows, but there's no need to produce it/wave it around..

As opposed to the Graham Norton one, where he produces the book and says I've been fascnated by this, and the guest goes o rly, thx....

At the minute the show is really coasting, losing Artie, and not bringing people into his chair on a temp basis like they did with Jackie is a big mistake as the focus is on Howard and Robin's personal lives which are both hella boring at the minute. Also, there's also a curious disconnect wrt the second tier people, very little of the interpersonal backroom stuff is happening, which is the stuff that I like to hear to be honest.

I grew up w/ Howard and have a real affinity for him and the (old) show, but never followed him to Sirius...

Listening to 40 mins of this podcast and reading the comments is puzzling. Is this the fan consensus now? That Howard's just an asshole? I mean I understand that they're talking about a diagnosable condition but the contempt is strong!

Also...Howard's always been an asshole...like all the behaviors they're describing seem consistent to me w/ those of 35 years ago, the sort of unabashed childishness and selfishnesss etc. that was a part of his appeal to these same people? w/o getting into all the details, did something happen in recent years that shifted? I also don't think I get...are the wack pack et al compelling enough on their own that you'd want to keep listening even while hating the guy?

show was arguably the best it ever was in 06-09, then drifted for a bit when Artie left, and has been on a steady path towards a glossier, more accessible version since at least 2012. there's more celebrity interviews, longer, less improvisational, more serious, and there are hardly any actual callers or spontaneous moments on the show. I stopped listening when he kicked Benjy out of the studio, he was the secret weapon. anyway, a lot of longtime fans have serious vitriol for 'Hampton Howie' because his "evolution" goes against everything he stood for, in their eyes. I don't necessarily agree but the show definitely has gotten worse, or was when I stopped listening almost 4 years ago.

Hadrian the first couple of Sirius years are pretty great, Artie coming into his own. A great entertainer

Damn, already taken down

lol! That was the show where Artie fell asleep

Assuming I’m remembering correctly

‘06

oh man, when they put him in the chair? classic... but also, so so sad. but classic

Boff!

Jackie reads from Robin’s book

I hear Robin "got into it" with Howard today. I'm assuming that's on a sliding scale of actual conflict. Has H confirmed he's signing another contract or is he retiring?

The fight was about Simone dinnerstein, concert pianist

I’ll confess to not listening to new shit anymore. Show seems dead.

So it seems. So it seems.

I'll look for it on youtube at some point. When did you tap out? Covid?

Gradually but yes probably around April was the last straw

Any given segment on youtube prior to 2010 or so when Artie left is exponentially better than the current stuff (Another interview with the maroon 5 guy etc)

And now with Ronnie leaving they’re losing the last irreverent (read “entertaining”) personality

I see that the subreddit has started calling H "Wiggy."

hahaha yes

After this video leaked, I don't understand why anyone keeps listening

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krhV4XlVKgk

the misspelled "structure" in an early slide is killing me. I'm easy to please I guess

^ How did JD get hired?
This mumbling mushmouth is always entertaining

Richard Simmons on the show was always the best ...

RIP Leslie West

2013 Leah remini appearance is a lot of fun. Tells callers to kiss her ass and flirts with Artie

We’re getting close to the point where Howard has been on satellite for as long as he was syndicated, right?

Sounds about right. Sirius started in 05 I believe

got another 5 or so years to go but yeah

End of the show (from his Patreon)

The End Of MarksFriggin.com Daily Recaps

September 23, 2023

The End.

Well, I knew this day would come at some point. This was a really tough decision for me to make. At the end of this month, September 2023, I will no longer be doing my detailed daily recaps of the Howard Stern Show.

Even though I'm stopping with the detailed recaps of the show I will probably do some kind of very short segment list. I may just copy the segment list from the SiriusXM app and keep track of when guests were on or something like that. I really don't know. I'll have to see how much time I'm willing to put into this once I start work again in October. I'll be shutting down the early access Patreon.com thing at the end of this month.

Why now? There are a few reasons. The biggest reason is money. I need to get back to work, full time, to pay my bills. I should have shut this down about 8 years ago but I enjoyed doing it and loved the freedom I had the rest of my day. I started the site because of my love for the Howard Stern show. That love has become 'like' over the past few years. I can't say I love the show anymore.

There are a few things I don't enjoy listening to and I find myself getting aggravated far too often. I can't sit and type any more 2 hour long celebrity interviews. I don't want to type the phrase "Howard answered a knock at the door" ever again. I want to have the freedom to turn the radio off when I hear an awful Jon Blitt bit.

I'm not at the point where I'm going to stop listening to the show completely. I still appreciate Howard's interviewing skills. There are interviews I'd rather not sit through though. Now I can pick who I want to listen to and who I can turn off. I've forced myself to listen to a few celebrity interviews I wish I could have walked away from.

I don't want to be one of those former Howard Stern fans who bashes the show. I don't hate it. I'm just not as into it as I used to be. I know Howard has evolved. I can appreciate that. It feels weird even venting about the things I mentioned above. I do think the "knock at the door" thing is played out. Way too many impersonators with no material in my opinion.

Thank you to everyone who visited the site and supported what I've been doing since 1996. To everyone who contributed by being a Patreon member or bought something through an advertiser link, thank you so much. You helped keep the site going for 27 plus years. That's half of my life! It's been fun.

I doubt Howard will ever read this but I will thank him for the 35+ years of entertainment. No one else has captured my attention like that guy. What an amazing talent. So many years of fun shows.

I also have to thank the other staff who I've met over the years when I was invited up to the studio for various things. Everyone was so nice. I had great experiences up there. Thanks to everyone there.

I guess I'll close this out with my favorite Wack Packer, Eric the Actor's, "Bye for now.""

Sincerely,
Mark

I believe this is the “we lost Cronkite” moment

Understandable. The show is a shadow of its former self.

Cookie puss vs fred is the best

i've listened so far to every show of 2003 and 2004 and i'm now on 2005 for which the archive has recordings that include the commercials, traffic and weather breaks, and promotions from 101.5 kzon in phoenix. i guess i never listened to commercial talk radio of this era. to me the format seems insane, with breaks running occasionally to twenty minutes. fifteen minutes of car stereo and mortgage advertisements, a minute of clips from the afternoon show (the fathead show, i think it is, on kzon), an update on a head-on on indian school road. i can't imagine not tuning away.

the show's greatness in my mind is being steadily eroded, listening to it this way. the way to discover it is through greatest hits on youtube, heavy on prank calls and artie and staff squabbles, light on interviews with strippers and straight-to-video starlets (i sat through a twenty-plus minute sitdown with natassia malthe yesterday, promoting her brief appearance in a jennifer garner movie called elektra, and upcoming role in a jamie pressly/devin aoki-anchored video game film remake). and so i fast forward a lot. but i guess since i live fairly cut off from the outside world i can occasionally find myself slipping into an alternate timeline. i like that. that's real distraction. wrapped up in 2004, i was invested in the election talk, worrying that scott depace was right that bush would win a second term. a day after that came true, political talk disappeared. michael moore was not invited back. and now the fight is with farid suleman of citadel broadcasting and other syndicators, who, like me, are growing tired of his promotion of satellite radio.

blockbuster just announced the end of late fees and fathead is going to be giving away suns tickets to the caller with the most overdue rental. there are some fallen cables on 35th just north of baseline but surface roads are otherwise clear. it's 7:40 am in phoenix, arizona. howard is celebrating beth's new role with the north shore animal league.

a simpler time

Man, robin and Fred were perfect for each other
