Yeah, it was a very strange time in my career. I was on regular radio, and I somehow convinced them that it would be okay if I talked about the fact that I was leaving regular radio and going to satellite radio. And then they told me, okay. They said, don't mention Sirius Radio. Just call it something else.
Which one are you?
I'm Jason.
It was like, oh. You do forget because things move rather rapidly. But it was a very strange time because there was an effort by regular radio to say what a failure I would be. And they were putting out that anyone who went to satellite radio, your career would be over, you would disappear forever. So there was this big campaign to discredit satellite radio.
But I knew deep in my heart that satellite radio would be successful. And now I look around, everybody's got a fucking microphone in their house. Everybody's on the radio. You three. I know, it's ridiculous. You want to hear the most aggravating things. But Howard, I do love you guys. A couple things. Jason and I, the only person I didn't know was Sean. Right, it's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, and I do want to ask you about your classical piano. All right, and I want to ask you about your guitar playing. Yes, I'm most impressed with your classical piano. Well, you guys will get some time after the interview. No, but here's the thing I want to tell you that annoyed me. Can I tell you this? Yeah, yeah. So Jason was over my house, and I have mad respect for Jason.
I think he's a fabulous actor. Incredible. One of the best. Wonderful guy. He's overcome a million. He's had a great time for you to call me Justin.
Oh, he's had a lot of problems. A lot of fucking problems.
And he still has a bunch. Yeah, he's got a lot of problems. Look at him. We could go on all day. But, you know, I'm talking to Jason, and I'm feeling very good about my own career and everything, and Jason goes, you know, man, it's crazy. We like started this thing out of our basement, like a radio show. And I'm like, oh, here we go. Yeah, cool. And he goes, yeah, we started a thing.
And like, it was just the three of us sitting around and we talk and we just crack each other up and everything. I don't know what's going to happen with it, man. But they're telling me it's like the biggest thing ever. Oh shit, I didn't say that. Oh yeah. No way. Oh yeah, you did. So I go, oh, this is great. Again, I spent my life like begging people to put me on the radio.
It was rarefied air if you even were allowed on there. You had to work on your voice, this and that. You had to work on the content.
He's clowning around. Yeah, yeah. So listen, it's over.
You hide your bitterness really well.
Oh, that's an excellent question.
Listen, when I was on the radio and it was brutal. In order to get an audience and to maintain an audience, every 15 minutes they take the ratings in radio. It isn't like this, like where you go, you know what, we have a lot of people listening. You know, it could be three people listening to this. Nobody knows, nobody cares. But you're on the radio and every 15 minutes they take ratings.
And what are you going to do to hold people's attention? But you found all these people like this, like kind of... But look, I found people that I was interested in. I'll never forget the day. I was on the radio and I took a little bathroom break and I walked by my green room. The lights went up. I'm looking at the room and there he is. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Jason, you ever hear my show?
In high school, I listened to it a lot. There was a guy named Beetlejuice who's very popular, even to this day on the internet. It's insanely popular. Right, right. So, you know, I said, this guy's a star. He's going to be fantastic.
This guy's going to be a star. And sure enough, he was. No, I mean, I was always looking for interesting people.
I mean, I don't, I can't even.
No, not self-sabotage. Well, here's the truth. In my family, words meant nothing. My mother would say actions only mean anything. And I guess I took her literally. Yeah.
