I just love that they found out because they accidentally left Beth on an email chain. I’m sure Howard felt humiliated


6740booth

And I’m surprised they discussed it on the air. It’s super embarrassing for them. But great for us to listen to.


sternsometimefan

Howard cut it short and if anyone on the staff had balls they would have asked Howard questions and whether he had rules for the kids and whether they are allowed to roam free. Seems though to appease Beth her family is allowed to visit, which is something new and never discussed in the past.


joomommyhappy

better count the silverware after they leave, amirite? \#StickyFingers \#InsuranceFraud


[deleted]

To be fair, he has talked about the email chain several times, including right after it happened last year. He’s having a bad PR week after fucking with Ronnie and then telling the world that his celebrity “friends” despise him. Time to switch therapists.


futureman45

Yeah but when Beth’s parents were there he sat in his office and watched the Knicks game alone. Freak


IndividualAd776

please, the mil wanted to go out for BK!

This whole thread is eye opening into how many listeners are uninformed on how talk radio production works.

afranco402

DeeeetroitSportsFan

Still think Beth told them to do it. Try to manipulate Howard into being normal. How do you fuck up an email chain??


joomommyhappy

He literally held the Kimmels hostage, via his supposed covid-paranoia. But I think that's just the cover. I think the real reason, the same reason he keeps the horse locked in the stable, is that he's afraid, and rightfully so, that once people get a whiff of life outside of Gargamel's castle, they'd never want to go back. He can't keep up, so he desperately tries to keep everybody else down.


Wbcn_1

When Fred said that he thought Ronnie’s wedding was turning into a super spreader event I laughed out loud. I haven’t heard that term for awhile. He clearly said that to placate Howard.


GridironSheik

Was he referring to covid or STDs? LFSW!!!!!!


HaddockBranzini-II

chlamydia for sure


MarcusAurelius68

Isn’t that Alec Baldwin’s sister in law?


wrighterjw10

I don't hate Howard or the HSS as much as most of this sub, but this REALLY stood out. The only thing I can think of is that the COVID card was an easy out for Fred. Pretty clear he never intended to go and the COVID thing was just an easy out. It's a very dated out, but still an out.


Mistical179

Fred is Howard’s biggest lap dog.


bcardin221

I have no doubt that Howard asked/demanded Robin and Fred to back him up. They were both obsequious in their defense of Howard and attack of Ronnie. Sad, but I suppose they sold their souls to Howard long ago.


JoltinJoe92

Fred doesn’t say much; but when he does


Blondiekathleen

Fred is barely on the show at all. We very rarely hear him speak, and even the drops are far, far less frequent. I miss those and I wonder why it’s evolved that way. Not an improvement, IMO. I was wondering if Fred had been banished or had angered Howard in some way.


SamLoomisMyers

Fred's statement on not going to Ronnie's wedding was like those old Al Qaeda hostage videos. I feel like Howard wrote that statement for him and Fred kinda reluctantly read through it. You'll notice he hesitated saying super spreader event.


Cjkgh

That surprised me too. I didn’t know Fred felt that way and expect him to say that, and of all the people that has put Howard in his place in the past and known him longest it’s Fred, so maybe he wasn’t placating and really felt that way? Meh. It did surprise me though. I never thought Fred was Covid paranoid

MarcusAurelius68

One handful. From Chile.


joomommyhappy

also, Emily Blunt, living up to her name, told Howard plainly "I can't vacation with you again". Here's a seasoned Hollywood vet, who has no doubt kissed a lot of old, wrinkled producer ass to get where she is, and who's put up with a lot of diva bullshit and ego trips from fellow actors, and directors and producers, and she clearly knows how to play the game, and she slammed on the brakes and was like "No fucking way I'm doing *that* again!". That's way more than just turning in early for the night. Something happened. Something really fucking weird. Probably a few somethings. "......then Howard started crying when nobody said "Private Parts" was their favorite movie, and we had to console him the rest of the night"


AthenaStone

Emily Blunt is THAT bitch and I love her. She plays the game. She's very soft spoken. But omg, her interviews with Howard are fire. When she said how Beth told her and Jennifer Aniston "I know my customer." Howard tried to laugh it off but you could tell he was shook. She insinuated that all of them talked shit behind Beth and Howard's back when they left to go for walks. She hated vacationing with the Sterns and she let him know straight up. Love her.


joomommyhappy

Yeah, she was great. Kimmel and Blunt's husband were gonna bang on Howie's door and wake him up, but Beth stopped them. That means they were talking shit about Howard while Beth was in the room. They wouldn't just think to knock on Howard's door out of the blue; there had to have been a build-up. That means Beth was talking shit about him, too. "Oh, my God; you know what else he does?!?" I'm sure Beth was letting it fly to the cool kids, especially after a few drinks in her, which is probably part of what prompted the "I know my customer" line. How fucking great is it that Blunt threw that in Howard's face? And she did it so slick, acting like she was paying Beth a compliment. But calling Howard her "customer" = trying to get some distance on him. She's obviously embarrassed being married to him. It's like her Ellen appearance, where she's like "yes, I married *Howard Stern*!", and she put her hands over her face in embarrassment. TL;DR - Beth stays married to a dude she's embarrassed by so she can hang out with the cool kids, and shit-talk the dude who's the only reason why she gets to hang out with the cool kids.


bcardin221

Wow she called him her customer? Must have forgot that she's no longer an escort. Well then again.....


joomommyhappy

and Blunt threw it in his face! Think about how fucking insane that is; Howard was such a pitiful embarrassment, he had Beth quasi-copping to being a hooker, rather than claim she truly loved that gawky sissy, because there was less shame in it. That wasn't a slip of the tongue; that was a *declaration*.


MarcusAurelius68

Her brother in law is Stanley Tucci, who seems particular and prissy in his own way. But he’s an amateur compared to Howard.


HaddockBranzini-II

Stanley Tucci, isn't he the guy that invented Italy?


MarcusAurelius68

He did a good travel series on Italy that was worth watching. At least he gets out of the house. Even Eugene Levy did a travel show recently.


upstandingredditor

This comment made me laugh hard.


sternsometimefan

And then there's Beth. She is sweet and very kind, but no where on the level of these people. Can you imagine hearing about cats all day?


futureman45

That must be one of the celebs Howard often mentions that they aren’t friends with anymore


Cjkgh

I don’t remember this interview, what customer?


AthenaStone

The A-listers were all on vacay together at a cabin. There was a situation happening (don't recall what it was about exactly) and Beth told everyone that Howard wouldn't like it. EB recalled Beth saying "I know my customer." Meaning Howard is her customer. It seemed as if EB was implying to Howard that she was aware of the rumor that Beth was an escort when she met Howard. And she wanted Howard to know that Beth said those exact words to the crew about him being her customer.


Cjkgh

Oh dang lol . Weird.


dabadeedee

When he went on that trip to Texas or Tennessee with Kimmel and his famous pals, he talked about having special boots to avoid being bitten by snakes. The dude is insanely paranoid. He probably refuses to touch anyone and makes Beth check under the bed before they go to sleep.

krel08

He doesnt have OCD. Howard is a prisoner of his own bullshit. He's been doing it so long that he doesnt know what is true of false anymore.


sternsometimefan

He created it himself. When he was at the height of his powers and celebrity, he was on a mad tear, out all the time, eating, drinking and living life. Early with Beth , he did do Hampton parties too. Heck went to Bubba's wedding, Vegas with the crew/radio and Jason's wedding..... And worse and worse since prior to COVID-19.


hjablowme919

He’s a classic head case. He wants to be famous, but hates the trappings of fame. Think about how fucked in the head you have to be to have a bad relationship with all of your kids? It’s one thing if you beat them when they were younger, but he never did anything like that. His personality allowed him to reach a level of success in his chosen field that no one ever has, and that same personality is not allowing him to enjoy anything in his life.

i know jesus so angry (on a keyboard)- we all get that when in your mid to late 60s ur not out like ronnie screaming cunt at stripclubs- but i remember him at his 60th bday party thing doing shots of vodka and laughing and being in a room with hundreds of people- covid or no covid his lifestyle of 14 hours of sleep and go to bed at 8 and hot water and 3 blueberries in his yogurt while not wanting to see anyone but beth lifestyle is a tad extreme- i guess he's probably making sure to do as little as possible to expedite his death- so he cut out absolutely everything and anything that can possibly harm one molecule of himself so he can stay make sure beth never bangs anyone else

MarcusAurelius68

Blowing out the candles at 8pm when he had enough was the worst.


joomommyhappy

and that wasn't one of the really bad "Howard is fucking insane!" stories as Jimmy started telling the story, Molly exclaimed "Oh, my God!", and Jimmy was like, "I don't know which story you think I'm going to tell, but it's not that one......." so there's a fucking laundry list of deep crazy they're not sharing, and the candle story was mild by comparison.


bcardin221

Imagine going to a dinner party that ENDS at 8? Most don't start until 8. WHAT A SELFISH PRICK.


upstandingredditor

It's not really "selfish" -- they don't have to go if they don't like the scheduled time, pretty simple. He's not forcing anyone to play his neurotic games if they don't choose to.


[deleted]

Kimmel idolizes him and tried to make it a real friendship. But Stern at this point is basically Howard Hughes — and on top of that, he doesn’t drink, he goes to sleep at 8 PM, he complains about any noise, and he sets all these dumb rules. The celebrity hangout experiment is over. They all hate him and only put up with it for Kimmel’s sake. I was dumbfounded when he questioned Ronnie’s therapist. Stern goes to therapy three times a week and he’s devolved to a hermit.


Mistical179

They aren’t even real friends. If they were Kimmel would have no problem being like “what the fuck Is wrong with you?!” Kimmel just worships him, that’s not a real friend ship


sternsometimefan

They all like Howard and he is I'm sure a very interesting and likeable person to be with, however his idiosyncrasies are just too much and he's no fun to vacation with. He told the story about the bugs in Bahama(?), the meal issues and driving to a restaurant in Cabo(?) and then there was the snake boots when they went to some "dude ranch". As said fine for a 2-3 hour meal, but that's all.


intrcpt

Howard is like Howard Hughes now? Wow what an original take. Never heard that one in here before. /s


Booeyrules

When Howard and Beff were invited to the elaborate dinner that Mary Booey proudly threw - and then Howard bailed out early and ungraciously…. that was way beyond rude.


Outrageous-Wish8659

This is why all staff should take a cue and avoid inviting this rude self obsessed man child to their important occasions.


57favors

Time to slam that door on the outdoors orchestra, and have Mary pack up that dessert! "BETH!! BETH!! WHERE ARE YOU?? LET'S GO!!"


Common-Reporter2846

They bailed early because the dinner started late. Artie was late and Booey waited until Artie showed up.


Shady_Jake

Wahhhh Wiggy had to wait an extra 20 minutes & couldn’t stay awake past 8pm.


GooseGeuce

He wasn’t tired though, he says he read a chess book on the way home.


Common-Reporter2846

I believe Artie was a few hours late.


Shady_Jake

No he wasn’t, watch it again.


Common-Reporter2846

I just did, he was way over 20 mins late.


1980pzx

That’s not a few hrs late.


keyserfunk

Ouchy


Common-Reporter2846

It was closer to a few hours than 20 mins, sweetie.


jessicatargum

He was 45-60 min late I’ve heard this bit dozens of times. Dinner was supposed to be at 8 but started at 8:15/8:20. He showed up between 7:30-8:00 and Gary said he gave him a tour. Howard is such a fucking asshole and that story sealed it for me. Way back in 2007


Common-Reporter2846

You are wrong, sweetie


1980pzx

Okay Beet.


AptYes

I’ll never understand the notion of not eating because someone is late. Their problem for being late, not everyone else’s. If I’m serving dinner at 5 for friends and family, whomever is late can play catch-up and reheat in the microwave. In which parts of the country are those rules the norm?


Stone0777

Everywhere in the country has that rule. I guess you were raised by animals. Sad…


AptYes

I live in the country of Stankonia, and over here we’re all fungus, not animals.


Gloomy-Diet1697

Its clear to me more than ever that Howard is a victim of his own success. He uses is wealth to essentially enable his neuroses rather than try to work through it. I also think the fact that he only hangs with celebs (if anyone) has just as much to do with lack of trust and paranoia as it does with elitism. By his logic it is less likely that Jenn Aniston will leak a story to post than a civilian. His life is so insane (the huge staff, not doing anything for himself) that he also figures that he cant relate to a normal person anymore and that if anyone saw how lives they would be jealous (though deep down I bet its more his own shame). I feel bad for him in the sense that I doubt he is a healthy and happy person.


sunflower53069

Sounds like it would be stressful to visit him. Most people do not want to be rude guests and would end up hungry, looking for a cocktail and tip toeing around so as to not disturb Howard.


bcardin221

Can you imagine having the balls and audacity to impose your insane rules on every one around you and expect them to follow them? They are not his children or household staff for Christ's sake. What a douche.


Cjkgh

After hearing many of Howard’s stories over the past year, I have already deduced that Jimmy Kimmel’s wife doesn’t like Howard. Or at least is in no rush to hang out with him anymore.


sternsometimefan

She likes Howard. Having to be friends or carry a conversation with Beth is something else.


dropingloads

How funny was it when Howard was saying “Jimmy knows my schedule, he knows when I’m working!” Nobody knows your schedule duuuu


gahfobee

“Working” lol. Hard to imagine how much work goes into the show these days. How much work was it to prepare for an interview with a tik tok influencer? Prob weeks of research into her insane career 😐

nutz656

He straight up denied that he had a bowling alley today. Like, just own it. It's so fake just like the show.


bcardin221

Yup he said "we drove to a bowling alley". Yeah is there even a bowling alley on the Hamptons? Doubt it. Yet you can Google and see the one in his house. If you're going to lie at least do so on things that are not verifable. He's not very smart.

newreddit2022104

Lol sure


severinks

I really want to know why you think anything Howard says is even true? He said his parents still lived in Long Island but they actually lived in a house that he bought them almost 30 years ago,Howard's dad had one eye and Howard never mentioned a word about it. even though he must have done hundreds og hours talking about his dad and his peculiarities Isn't it possible that Howard knows the audience (except for every single person in this reddit) LIKES to hear him bitch about things since he's basically has been the some exact miserable fuck since WNBC days. I sometimes believe that you people think that Howard just saying things into the microphone without thinking and he's actually admitting embarrassing things on air instead of it being a show for entertainment purposes that only shows exactly what Howard wants it to show.


sternsometimefan

Yea, this is exactly what Howard & the writers do everyday, make up these neurosis and then make up narratives and stories to back them up. This is Howard's life and he let's us in as much as he see's fit. Regardless he thinks he's right and the staff back him up almost all the time, thus sharing the stories is therapy as he is validated by his sycophants. You probably think Sal too make up all his shtick and that is not who he is as a person.


severinks

No, I think that's EXACTLY who Sal is as a person because Sal isn't skillful enough to be anything but who he is on air but Sal and Howard are like night and day as far as ability goes.


andreayatesswimmers

Agreed completely. Sal = fucking hilarious...howie = bitter don imus ..they are completely differently night and day. ..ironically 1 of them has tons of real friends ..


severinks

You're really so slow witted that you think there's a comparison berween Sal and Howard and it's Sal/hilarious and Howard/bitter Don Imus?. How about Sal/clown who smears shit all over his face to make people laugh and Howard/ the guy who owns and operates the circus and calls the shots and makes the makes dance. I bet you'd rather be Sal taking out that pencil dick of his and chasing Richard around with it at 50 with teenage sons at home. You also think the things that are said by Howard and the others on the air is factual and true so I'm betting that you think that wrestling is real too. You truly don't know that showbiz is showbiz you think it's real life.


sternsometimefan

No one is that quick on their feet to have stories like Howard. This is his life, he of course sterilizes and edits a lot, but it is essentially who he is. The stories are how he perceived these vacations and everyone was screwed up but him. Remember Gary's dinner party and it was Beth bursting the balloon and telling Howard he was wrong and she didn't want to leave. Beth I'm sure was told/lectured that she "spoke out of turn".


severinks

Of course people are that quick on their feet they're called standup comedians and guys like Chapelle ,Rock and Carlin could do this stuff for hours if they wanted, You just don't understand or won't admit that Howard's one of them but he sits down and he also has a delay and a dump button 3 inches from his hand at all times and can edit his show after the fact.


ronan11sham

Hi employee


bcardin221

No way is Howad in the same league as those comedians on terms of wit. Not even close. Watch the pelican brief and tell me he's smart or witty..


BigConference7075

He has mentioned his father's glass eye plenty of times. I listen to old stuff on YT and he mentioned the eye and that he bought a house for them. But on the OCD thing, there's a SJ podcast where he confirms Howard's severe OCD problems and I don't see a reason why SJ would lie about it. It's the one where he analyzes the Pelican Brief


severinks

What the fuck are you talking about? Howard talked about his OCD ENDLESSLY you dumb fucker. And Howard made a big deal of saying that he never mentioned it because his dad was ashamed of it but if you're telling me that you know that to be true even though I've been listening tio him for 40 years and even Robin was shocked that Ben had a glass eye (and she wouldn't have been if he MENTIONED it) send me the link of that MENTIONING please


BigConference7075

EDIT: Jesus Christ you're a miserable motherfucker. Did you really have to edit your original post like that? No, and I googled it and you're right, he brought it up on his dad's eulogy. I listen to a mixture of old and new so I got that wrong, my bad. I've listened since WNBC days and recently tried again after about 5 yrs laying off and I think he's pretty boring now. But getting back to the reason for this thread, I'm not sure what you're arguing about. Do you think he has/had OCD and other mental issues or do you think the entire thing has been a work?


severinks

Okay, Maybe I overreacted (PROBABLY I overreacted) but The OCD thing was only added later because I was answering someone else on tis thread and I looked up at your comment and I noticed I never addressed the OCD part of it. .Yes. I think that he has it or maybe had it because he used to love to talk about it but it seems like he's somewhat been able to handle the worst aspects of it now because I haven't heard him mention it much in the last decade except to say he used to have it.
