Hanzi, go for a walk. Volunteer somewhere for four hours a day. Drink less muscle milk at bedtime.

Here is audio of Artie talking about it https://www.instagram.com/p/BIdGQEcgVEa/

From Artie's clip it sounds like Gary told all the Howard staff they couldn't talk to anyone who was let go from Howard's show. From Hanzi's gibberish it sounded like Gary told Opie not to have Levy or Artie on again. They seem like different things, right? I'm confused too.

Gary can't tell Opie who to not have on the show.

It wouldn't actually be Gary; it would be Howard's orders through Gary.

Stuttering John tried to get on O&J last fall, and they didn't even get back to him. He thought that Howard put the kibosh on him appearing on the show again, but I think it's just as likely that it's because he stinks.

We'll know if Artie doesn't go on O&J anymore.

Howard can't tell him either. Now if Howard is going to management behind the scenes that is another story.

But again, I can't imagine something like that happening to Opie and Jimmy without them mentioning somehow that they have been muzzled. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Anthony mention it on his podcast either.

I can see Opie and Jim keeping quiet when they're this close to new contract time. But I agree that Anthony would mention it.

But in the grand scheme of things, what's the big deal? Stuttering John is a zilch, as is Jackie. And they've already been on the show. It's no big deal anymore.

Artie's a good guest, but good and frequent enough to kick up a fuss over?

No.

If you've got to pick your battles, this is one you take a pass on.

If it is true, they should just let Artie do the heavy lifting, although it will take some months. He'll be doing the rounds for the new Judd Apatow HBO show he's on. If Howard blocks him from going on O&J he'll give Howard both barrels, and he'll do far more damage than bitch-Tits ever could.

Yeah, you are right. And you are right about Artie. He's been a good boy for the most part but he is one backhanded slap in the face from Howard away from going ape shit on him in the media.

When they were taking pot shots, relatively minor ones, at one another in the media last year I got the impression it took everything in Artie to stay professional.

Thanks.

Howard had better hope Artie doesn't run into financial trouble and is forced to write a Stern years tell-all. He would bury that cocksucker.

Gary, too. There's been bad blood between Artie and Baba Booey for a long time.

I would think so too, thats why I was so confused. Even though Baba-booey might be more famous than Opie hes definitely below him in terms of SiriusXM hierarchy. I don't know how Opie got dragged into this unless someone told him and he told Artie or what. Maybe its best I try not to figure out what that schizo shut-in was tweeting then.

It all seems like speculation to me honestly. In Artie's clip it sounds like he is more or less referring to himself. That the people who are still on Howard aren't allowed to talk to him, not Opie.

Either way, Gary can't tell another show to do anything. Now maybe Howie went up the food chain and tried to get something done. But more than likely Opie and Jimmy would have alluded to it on air or outright complained about it.

Artie said that he heard that Gary called the staff into a room and told them that they weren't allowed to talk to former Stern staff members, not just Artie.

Artie obviously has sources at Sirius, and there's also a poster on the Howard Stern sub /u/ASiriusProblem who's been dishing juicy tidbits for a while (including this one). This isn't mere speculation.

Hanzi's assertion is that Opie can't talk to former Stern staffers (and also current ones?), but I doubt he has inside sources. Like I posted earlier, Stuttering John thought Howard had him banned from O&J, and he said it on Artie's podcast (I think he even claimed he verified it with someone at Sirius). For all we know, Hanzi listening to Artie's podcast is the source of his "intel".

God, this is so retarded. And it's only gotten to this place because of Howard. People are saying he's been brainwashed by Marci Turk and Getting Things Done, which some have labeled a cult.

On the one hand, that seems crazy, and on the other, it's the Occam's Razor explanation for this retarded Orwellian nonsense.

It doesn't surprise me that Howard is this easily manipulated. If you know how to handle and satiate a narcissist, then you own them.

If anyone wants a refresher course on why Hanzi is a level headed and credible source, here is him rambling on O&A about how 9/11 was an inside job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLIp39Yxqj0.

Long rumored that Howard and Marci Turk(Howard's assistant/GTD) are unhappy with tidbits about the show getting out. Particularly how people like Gary, Scott, and the old guys are being downgraded in importance. Also how a lot of Howard's personal business is intersecting with the "Getting Things Done" lifestyle cult.

Much of the new Howard gossip is rumored to be coming from the old staff to the fired staff(particularly the old Howard Tv crew) to the general public.

There is also a rumor that Opie might be getting in on it a bit because Shuli, Sal, Ronnie, and maybe Richard are friendly with the Opie crew.

Why did I just read all that horseshit

Here are various Opie/Stern audio clips that happened in the last 3 months. They also had on Ian Halpern promising more Howard gossip, which I'm sure as goofy as it is, bothered Howard -

i'm so confused

Opie was warned not to talk to anyone who used to work for The Howard Stern Show or he'd be fired from Sirius. Artie hinted at this on his podcast, Hanzi confirmed it was Opie on Twitter.

wait so your saying they would fire OPIE if he talked to anyone who worked for the stern show in the past how does that make any sense? i think you have it backwards because what i got from that video of Artie, Artie was saying that if anyone who currently works for the stern show, talks to anyone who used to work for the stern show, they would be fired.

i dont understand how opie, who has his own channel and a contract, could get fired because he talked to someone who used to work for the stern show, i dont think that would be a legit reason for termination lol

Of course it doesn't make any sense!

These dumb fuck's brains are so scrambled, they can't even remember

something that's just a simple sentence long. I guarantee you, some asshole read something

somewhere and now has gotten it all mixed-up and backwards.

I dunno, if it seems like a paranoid scheme about Howard pulling strings to destroy people and its coming from Hanzi....well are we gonna believe Howard's in the Illuminati too?

Really? Jackie's already been on a few times. John's been on.

Worm fucking interviewed the horse-toothed jackass for his ghost-written bio.

Add to that, management would go along with such bullshit? lol

This is all a load of hooey.

Ok, I'm a 20 year+ fan of Howard. The 3 years before and after the switch to satellite was golden. It was a hilarious time of creativity where Sal and Richard flourished.

Howard has not been relevant/funny for 8-6 years. He is nothing. He is a non-issue.

The only thing "Howie" does is interviews with lady gaga.

Forget about this dumb feud and focus on the big, soft, and supple tits of the moron running the show.

Ronnie B has one of his lackeys on from time to time. Seems like an okay guy. Can't remember his name.

Shuly or whatever that kikes name is

Yeah it's Shuli, he is an ok comic and has been on LoS before.... He still works there that's probably why he allowed.

Maybe its just the role he has to play on Howard's show then. He was good as the liaison for the wack pack but anytime he would make a joke or tag along with Howard, Artie and Fred as they bashed Jeff the Drunk or ETM it never really registered. It was just obvious stuff other people had said before. Safe jokes that would keep him in the room and over-laughing at everyone else.

Or maybe Ron is way above the Stern/Opie antics and has never given a shit. R&F even came on after Howard on WJFK.

Ronnie B talks to Shuli all the time.

I'm surprised to hear that, I always hated Shuli on Howard's show. He sat in the Artie chair for a week and it was miserable.

He still there, from the confusion of this all it seems like the issue would be Levy, Artie, Jackie, and Stuttering John. All of whom have been on Opie's show, but not recently.

The weird thing is that Jackie still has a show on Howard 101 the last time I checked. I could see how having Levy on would be an issue since hes not even allowed in the building, but Artie and John should be fine because they have no idea of the inner workings of Stern's show now. Any secrets they could give would be decades old at this point.

The weird thing is that Jackie still has a show on Howard 101

Jackie's show was cancelled in 2013.

ah, well that makes more sense then.

Jackie's show was gotten rid of without explanation, according to Jackie.

didn't O&A used to have levy on all the time? you know the reason he's not allowed in the building now i'm curious hah

Did he not threaten to kill Stern?

yea i dont think that ever happened hahah that would be crossing a line

Haha it would be great if Howie just ended his career out of the blue. I've never liked Howie but Opie is total garbage.

Talk about a line of people I'd love to see marched into a gas shower.

Ok, but who is Hanzi?

One of Stern's regular callers who was banned from the show for telling Howard the Old Howard would be ashamed of 2016 Howard the celebrity ass kisser. I think he also trashed Marci Turk during the call. Howard went off and it made headlines.

"Made headlines" where? Stern Fan Network? lol

Entertainment sites posted the audio. Radar and Page Six, for example.

face

Hmmm. Thank you.

Figures, the little man-child Opie will strike any of them down at the slightest offense. Just like he did when Artie dared say "hi" to him one day in the hall and Opie started throwing a temper tantrum like a child.

One of you autists give me a condensed version, please

Opie was warned not to talk to anyone who used to work for The Howard Stern Show or he'd be fired from Sirius. Artie hinted at this on his podcast, Hanzi confirmed it was Opie on Twitter.

how could they ever ever justify firing Opie who has a contract and his own channel because he simply spoke to former howard employees? i dont see how this could be legit

i dont see how this could be legit

I agree, but tinfoil hat:

Gregg is a massively insecure guy that's obsessed with Howard's success. He's mentioned on-air that he's "run into" Beth in his neighborhood, Robin at the gym and Howard closes off the hallway to avoid him. Also add in that Anthony publicly saying he and Howard made peace probably bothers the fuck out of Opie. I don't think Sirus would fire him, but there's a solid chance they told him to knock it the fuck off.

Only having them on the show could be legit, since SXM can veto a guest, like they did with Homeless Charlie coming back on or Rogan trying to bring Anthony in. You can't legally enforce who an employee has a private conversation with.

This simply cannot be true on so many levels.

It's crazy for a guy as successful as Howard to hold such a grudge against Opie. We may think Opie is a dick, but man, Howard won, then he sold out, now he holding a show down after claiming he never does/did that.

He really is scum.

I Mean from what i can remember O&A really did say some terrible shit after that stuff about his daughter but then of course when opie got the same treatment of getting shitty attention put on his wife with the sex tape thing in the post he cried like a baby about how anthony and jimmy didn't support him

What Opie did with Stern's daughter ODing:

If Stern had pulled that with the Bam sex tape thing, it would have been 9/11 to Tits. Hypocritical faggot.

Anthony is fine with Howard.

The Stern community is so lame. It's like an older, less funny, more depressing version of this place operating on 56k

He called into Artie's podcast claiming Eminem's song about his Vicodin addiction was proof of the Illuminati. Credible source...

Who the fuck is hanzi?

President Obama's account follows Hanzi btw.

That's fucking amazing.

I'm sure thats a real boon to Hanzies paranoia too.
