Howard Stern | SmartLess

[@NoSacredCowFla]

My favorite part of Mondays is a new SmartLess episode.

[@MichaelLoughran]

Back when I lived in NYC I worked for HS as his personal IT Guy from his place on the UWS. Howard's interviews are great and love hearing the tables turned in such a relaxed style, something I'm sure he appreciated. Great get boys

[@Kamikazevondoom]

Manic Mondays turned into SmartLess Mondays! 🍿🍿🍿 I love it

I've been a Stern fan for damn near 30 years and never knew Ben Stern had a glass eye.

[@ccali327]

i don't think it came out until his death

[@findingaway5512]

What a get lads. The white whale. His interviews are fantastic. Very great interviewer. I love the authentic questions. Authenticity is the best. People are fascinating and hearing all their life stories.

You needed at minimum 3hrs to interview Howard.

[@Blake-w7w]

Check out his movie

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Many thanks to Jason, Sean, Will, Jimmy, Howard and everyone involved! 🎙

[@TheDeppening]

Sean says, "WE HAD TO RAISE THE CEILINGS FOR HOWARD, HE'S SO TALL!". Howard is actually 6'7" 1/2 and lies about his height being 6'5" too.

[@Neptune_p_g]

Howard Stern truly is an icon. The irony he hates podcasting because i think podcasters stand on Howard's shoulders.

[@TheDeppening]

Howard would regularly gay-bash/shame Sean Hayes on his show in the late 90s and early 2000s. I guess, takes one to know one???

[@NikkiBorgers]

HOWARD IN THE HOUSE!!!!

[@ladyj7343]

31:52 SEAN!! *fires up joint #2* 😂😂😂

[@nikkij55]

I wish one day yall will be on video

[@DeoGeo]

This was great!

[@patsmythe949]

Howard, I love you, but W4, WWWW, was the best station. I grew up listening to it just after the advent of FM. It played the long versions of songs. It played the better/best songs from albums that no other stations played because they weren’t the hit “singles.” . You were on the coolest station. Even now, going back to my Ohio hometown, the radio plays the best music there. How often do you hear Low Spark of High Heeled Boys on the radio (if anyone listens to regular radio now) anywhere else? And I love how hearing you now takes me back to Seattle in the late 80’s/and 90’s, watching you with my best buddy who hipped me to you, Norm Gregory (of KJR and KNBC) RIP Normy.

[@adventureforme]

The pattern is always the same. The stronger the male is perceived to be being interviewed the more homophobic/ bullying Will becomes toward Sean Hayes with humor that goes over the line. If you're a long time listener like me you can clearly see this over the years.

[@CatyBee]

Agreed. I appreciate that Sean goes with it, which makes it less uncomfortable in the moment, but I don't like it overall. I know they're dear friends, and Sean does make some jokes about it, but that doesn't give anyone else carte blanc to say it to him. And since neither Jason nor Sean give the same teasing back to Will, it's not an even exchange, which makes it feel like bullying instead of friends taking the piss.

[@LemonTree9280]

Now if they get Tim Heidecker my life can be complete

[@robertgordon8159]

Howard is incorrect on Arby's. It stands for Raffel Brothers, the guys that founded the chain.

[@chrisretzlaff2895]

Lol, yeah, I think that's part of the bit.

[@WrecklessEating]

Oh hi there. This will be a fun guest!

[@Hlpus1nall]

Although in the later years he's OK, Howard Stern is not the nations best interviewer. In my opinion, Terri Gross is the best by a large margin.

[@shoWbitz]

Great stuff, as always, Smartless 👏👍👌

[@katevand]

Great one, guys

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Holy moly, they got Howard? I need to catch up; I'm like 20 episodes behind 😂

[@tonikouimelis6372]

You guys are great!

[@TheDeppening]

Between Howard (70), Jason (55), Will (54), and Sean (54) -- ALL 4 somehow have MORE and darker hair than they did when they were in their 20s?? How does this happen? Ask Richard Farrell. Hollywood hair plugs/systems are wonderous today.

[@TheDeppening]

This interview served up more softballs than Artie Lange in BEER LEAGUE. Speaking of which, hard to believe the guys didn't ask how Artie was doing??

[@braziliantexatlantis7485]

Howard cut Artie out of his life (rightly for all we know) so it would be strange to ask him

[@TheDeppening]

If Howard actually had "25 million listeners" -- than how the hell did PRIVATE PARTS only make 41 million total at the box office? It would have taken only 1/4 of his audience to see it if that were the case.

[@citymindfunk]

LOL , Idk why I laughed and drooled a little at elephant man story. So funnny,..Fafa fo fo --- fooey!

[@LeonardBurke3]

Arby's is actually named after the Raffel who started it in Boardman, OH. R and B stand for Raffel Brothers.

[@TheDeppening]

Howard doesn't want to come off as "creepy" doing the same thing on the radio at his age. I guess sexualizing a 14 year old Millie Bobby Brown for hours isn't considered "creepy" to a father of 3 girls???

[@janetta98]

I know, right?! Asking inappropriate questions of women guests has been a park of his schtick for decades. He's a creep.

[@petracruz3064]

Love it!!❤

[@kristinamusantejd735]

My teenage boys are so impressed that I know who Beetle 🪲 Juice is. 😂

[@Lana-oz7np]

But where are they live I’m so confused 🤔

[@TheDeppening]

Howard's "a huge fan of the company!". So much so he sued SiriusXM 3x.

[@braziliantexatlantis7485]

The Best!

[@kunzu618]

Somehow 'trust me am monetizing' was crazy funny to me

[@colinputh1688]

Same, I think this line alluded to the fact that he was in Hamptons so you can bet he was out east doing private shows at top dollar

[@yayahulles]

Does this mean Smartless will only be on Sirus ?

[@GR_BackingTracks]

...it's been on YT for weeks, since the change.

[@robertahoffmann8820]

I love love love Howard Sterns mind! Humor!! Heart!!! That is now that he isn’t trying to shock but BE a real human. So happy for his happiness in his marriage with such an amazing wife! Admire their Animal Rights mind sets. As for this show in general… I don’t think I will ever get out of my mind the 2 fake eyeballs of two of your parents. A male eye plus female eye… perhaps you guys can put the eyes to better use? Together? Think about it?

I hope that was worth it! Whatever that was.😢 😂??? Peace n luv. Keep making them like you make them . We Love It🎉😊

[@TheDeppening]

Jason Bateman goes, "YOU DON'T NEED A BUNCH A CARDS FOR YOUR INTERVIEWS TO ASK QUESTIONS!". No, Jason, Howard doesn't -- he has 10 monitors with a staff of 70 writing shitty jokes and questions and for him from Wikipedia - that he was too lazy to research himself -- and often getting their biography embarrassingly wrong.

[@agye23]

Too lazy, hes 70 bro and is the most important radio personality of his time.....Do you ever realize how you sound shitting on him for having people working for him at this point in hes career

[@Vub.]

Stern is litterally the best to ever do it. Influenced everyone

[@ribbs13]

lol trying to be edgy by insulting him and failed miserably he more than earned his staff

[@todd679]

You're trying really hard....to get attention for your channel. Good luck with that!! lol

[@hatuxka]

If you listen at all, you notice that the questions he is fed are always mistaken in their premises. The answer always begins, “no that’s not correct”, since they never get their facts right.

[@JuliaJulia007]

Very cool

[@Vub.]

Where can we watch the video format of these?

[@SFVone]

48:00 Love the podcast but Sean interrupting people with inside jokes is killing me. Let Howard complete a thought.

[@DanielMcGlinchey1]

Wait, this is a LIVE show for which we only hear the AUDIO? Hey, SMARTLESS folks, see definition of LIVE.

[@DanielMcGlinchey1]

@@tellthemilived Oh, people are listening to this on radio? Let me crank up my hand-held transitor. I'm using KZbin, where people often post videos. Admittedly, maybe I'm just confused about what LIVE means, which could apply to audio or video. In any event, I don't like this LIVE audio crap.

This was a dumb episode with a disappointing guest. Calm down, Wil!

[@jjgreen5206]

I think Howard is wrong. People do like long form interviews with interesting people. Howard and many in his business tend to have personality disorders and so they project that onto their audience. They then attract those kinds of people with the same Personality disorders and then that’s what becomes commonplace. The audience will respond to what it’s given, and they are given dumbed down, impulsive, dramatic, overly edgy material. I find Howard much more entertaining now than when he was doing shows for “shock value”. Same with Phil Hendrie who is a genius. His shows in the 90’s and 2000’s were meant to be inflammatory. Now Phil does his characters and it’s really fun and entertaining, without the crazy callers

[@jtolearydesign]

I should definitely be WATCHING this interview. Why is this even on KZbin? lol

[@TheDeppening]

Howard claims he "went to parties" in Detroit. But to his audience he says he was a shut-in, obsessed with his show, and waiting for his next shift all scared, eating Chinese food and KFC. Of course he stayed in; he had to wait for Steve Dahl's radio show to come on from Chicago, so he could steal Dahl's characters and material and take it back to NY, and act like it was his original thoughts and concepts.

[@patsmythe949]

It was after he had his own show and had become famous that he was a shut-in. Detroit was before that.

[@ColtonFultonUK]

You can't really steal lowest common denominator humor. Anybody can think of it, STEVE.

[@LemonTree9280]

Wow, finally get Howard and its barely an hour...wish it was 3 hrs

[@cmpe43]

This content isnt worth a commercial every 5 minutes even with Howard who i havent heard since his movie.

[@johnglenn30csardas]

Talk about having jumped the shark…

[@neverendingweekend]

Seriously, when are you guys going to start posting actual videos?! How much more effort is it? Are there legal reasons? Putting an audio podcast on KZbin is like putting a radio show on tv. 🤦‍♂️

[@TM-yn3zr]

Sean - If you have a real question, let the guest answer. All your questions sounded like a setup to just talk about yourself. and youre talking all over everyone. Maybe let Will say a few words.

[@ALLrobotsAreSad]

Not even a quarter of the way in, i had to stop listening. I could only take so much of Howard’s ego and pompous. He seems so inauthentic. And I used to be a fan of his from the early 2000s years.

[@Judah_Stroyer]

He is like the a liberal Trump, just without the political aspirations.

[@BDUBZ49]

Ugh. Sleazeball

[@NoSacredCowFla]

So just doing a drive by?

[@symmetryox7184]

23:36 Howard's audience is nowhere near the biggest it's ever been. Someone like Bobby Lee has a bigger audience than Howard. I don't know how these celebrities buy into this - he is poor as an interviewer, has nowhere near the reach he had in the 90s and struggles to feign any interest in anything beyond his own life.

[@cyclops214]

Howard Stern's interview was way too short I want another hour or two, please.

[@williamdavidson8907]

I love Smartless and have heard every episode but the Howard Stern episode was really annoying. All of you talked at once and over one another. Ugh!

[@estebancomulet]

Lol Howard got them to come right up to by his house in the Hamptons and it was purely cos it was a Sirius thing, otherwise he wouldn't have done it.

[@Ziontrainism]

Stern show officially ended for me when the Pandemic happened. It was already in decline but they turned into what they made fun of... A podcast.

[@TTM9691]

Man oh man, everyone is doing this guy's act, all these podcasters. Donald Trump is doing his act, in his rallys. Joe Rogaine. David Pakman, totally has Howard's delivery. In many ways, Howard's show brought the culture down.......but it's not his fault everyone imitated it and beat it to death. One Howard Stern is great, it's even needed. A whole culture of his sensibility kinda sucks! He was the 90s, and the early 2000s. Love him. This is a really fun interview!

[@EJH-jn6mo]

10 years ago he’d be an interesting listen. Now he just cowtows to the masses. Superbly disingenuous.
