I used to be a diehard Stern fan, and I was even on the show in 2001 (was supposed to arm-wrestle Mr. T).

Original Xbox was brand new at the time. Stern had a contest - arm-wrestle Mr. T, and you win an Xbox if you beat him.

I got in cause I called the show and told them about when I broke someone's arm while arm-wrestling once (true story).

T had just beaten cancer at the time, showed up in hospital scrubs. He was saying he never agreed to arm-wrestle me and the other guys, cause we weren't celebrities. He'd only arm-wrestle Howard. About me, he said:

"He ain't got no show, he ain't even on the B-Team!" Lolol

We got the Xboxes anyway, and I met T after the show.

The video from the E! Show and Howard On Demand is out there somewhere.

That's fantastic. I wonder how many times he's used that B Team line. (Probably not enough... it's $$$) 

Thanks for sharing. 

LOL here it is!

There it is! Lol the whole day was surreal. Didn't get to meet anyone on the show, but I chatted with Gary and K.C. for a bit.

Caught up with T after the show. I legit loved him when I was a kid. Grew up on the A-Team. I apologized for talking smack. He said we were just playing, it's cool. Gave me a big hug, took pics with him.

I think Stern does a great job interviewing people.  If real can’t wait for PJ to be on!

I heard him say they will perform something. They will be in their Seattle studio. So it'll be 4am their time when the show starts.

He is an excellent interviewer,

Seems to be talking more himself and answering the questions instead of letting his guests. Don’t really see how he would be excellent.

Much rather have an e.g. Marc Maron conversation with the band than whatever Stern is doing in his post shock-jock Symbian era. 

When he had Ed on it was pretty good, but he does have to talk about himself every other question. 

I can see that, though. It's his show. If you are a fan of Stern, but maybe not Vedder, you want to hear Stern too.

Talking a lot or talking about himself isn't the problem for me, but the way he is loading every question and leading the guests with his ramblings that are in reality just Howards opinions prepped for leading to a by him pre-decided answer, and often having the guest just sort of agreeing like you do in conversations with people. He is also overly TMZ:ed up in what he wants to talk about and what kind of answers he has decided to get. 

So for me, it's not about Howard talking or being part of the conversation "podcast"-style (which is more interesting than a News question and answer-type thing) but how uninteresting the conversation becomes (imo) with how Howard is leading people down his "pre-decided" paths. He is boring to listen to.

Instead of "So, how did you really feel about John?" or even "I, Howard, held John as my favorite Beatle I must admit, and let me tell you about when I first heard Sgt Pepper, you already know this story Robin but... /.../ but how did you feel about John?"

You get "And you always felt like John was your brother, right, a brother from another mother, but then there was also a competition between you and then when the band split up your resented John, but now you look back at it and you really loved him, right, that is how you feel I have already decided so just nod?" 

Howard gets good guests. But this thing about him being such an amazing interviewer... come on now people. I also do not agree with people saying he is so knowledgeable. THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE YOUTH TODAY.

All avenues for hearing the band talk (I figure Howard will be mostly focused on Ed and only cares about Ed) is good though. And there are always fun tidbits. Like, someone mentioned Howard being on Eddie about the smoking. YOU DON'T GET THAT ON CBS. And to get some pro-shot live versions of songs is nice.

But a Tiny Desk with them is long overdue. Do that too.

I would just argue that smart interviewees can successfully navigate Stern's leading questions. 

In the old days, it was psychological for him to lead people to make them feel comfortable enough to admit something strange. Nowadays, I think it's less that, and more just "i always thought you felt this way, you still feel that way right?". Guys like ed can navigate this just fine.

You can listen on the Siriusxm app. Video will be put on the app later as well. They usually post clips later in the day and week. On occasion they might put up the whole interview. If we're lucky this might be like the Bruce interview that went on HBO Max

If we ever were to get the real story about why and how Dave A was fired, it would be Howard.  What I mean is that Howard will ask the questions people are interested in hearing the answers to.  Not “how was it working with Andrew Watt” followed by the same standard answers we already have read in prior interview.

Ed did clam up a bit when asked about Scott Weiland. Maybe he'll deflect to the others if asked anything he thinks awkward.

Bigger mystery? Why was Dave A. fired from PJ? Or why did bill Belichick bench Malcom Butler right before Super Bowl LII? (for all you football fans out there)

The real story? Eddie didn’t want him in the band, guy wasn’t meshing with the other band members. Story is 30 years old. Guy was a clown so he was bounced.

Cool.  I hope we get to hear about how much Ed likes the Who.

You are talking like Howard would be interested in anything that is not ~30 years old with this band.

Don’t listen to the interview then. Just stay on the forum and complain about something new that you don’t like. Howard’s interviews are great, excited to hear/ see it. Hoping that play a couple live songs and Eddie and Stone talk about making of Dark Matter

The stories from the grunge days are way more exciting than anything new imo. Pearl Jam writes great music, but usually very little comes out of their interviews. As someone who appreciates Dave A´s contributions to their sound back in the day, I am eager to hear more about that saga. Probably won't happen as they always shy away from the topic. Maybe they feel a bit bad about how everything was handled. 

Just speculating here. 

Hopefully Howard gets some tequila in Eddie before showtime!

Log out, take some time away from Howard and catch some fresh air. Stories will be 30 years old.
