I'm listening to this while drinking 15 dollar wine.

Best part of this for me will always be when howard says Benjy shows up fat as ever 😂

Stern net worth: $650 million Stern: Complains about $2,400 wine bill Oy 🤦‍♂️

Boy were the truck drivers ever relating to this one.

“Were there bottles on the menu that were one and two hundred dollars?” “I was looking in the French section so I wouldn’t know” Lol

Fred in the background going, "wow" "uh-oh" just piping in those little comments make these moments even funnier. "I'm flabbergasted"

“So he walks in, fat as ever”

“…fat as ever.” 😂😂

This will never not be funny 😂😂. I love when Robin is oblivious.

2:24 I’m alright with it, I’m fine with it He clearly wasn’t

Robins 1 bottle of wine was what Shuli & The gang would make at the beginning of Ronnie’s Block Parties 😂

lol arties laughs waiting to hear it

It is funny that Howard is screaming at Benji for dinner party etiquette, and of course everyone is piling on, yet everyone treated Howard delicately when he left Gary's party during the meat course.

This is strangely relatable in a completely unrelatable way.

Gary is so proud of himself for being able to pick up on Howard’s signals 😂

“And believe me Robin hates you” 😂 😂😂😂😂😂

Howard's definitely not breaking any stereotype

“I could’ve taken even more of your money, so an $800 bottle is cool” - Newsreader Quivers

Nothing is ever Robin's fault

$800? Oy Vay!!!

That was wrong of Robin Inconsiderable and she didn't want to see where they were coming from. She can give criticism but can't take it

Howard having to pretend money is tight again to try and relate to his audience.

29:38 Fred’s right. Restaurants tend to mark up their beverages, especially sodas, because that’s how they make their money.

Howard, Fred and Robin combine salary a year is over 50 million, wtf is 800.00 bottle of wine to them.

"I'm sorry Bengi, the world doesn't revolve around you" that's because it revolves around Howard, or so he thinks.

They're not known for being considerate..

Howard -- "I know the wine list." I guess not.

Clearly sounds like robin was also upset she wasnt sitting next to howard lol

Benjy is on FBI watchlist for sure

Listen to Howard talk about how pampered benjy has been his whole life 🤡🌎😂. Howard is so self centered it is amazing.

“They’ve been so pampered and so baby-ed in life, they can’t pick up on signals.” Isn’t it great how this guy says things he would never apply to himself?

Lol this title, if you know you know.

I like how Robin rationalized it by saying there were $1200 bottles of wine there....like she was being graciously cheap.

17:48 Benji! 😅😂💯💯

This bit is not about Howard having to spend 800$ on wine, we and they all know they can all afford it. It's about making it relatable for poor folks like us (we generally all had a similar situation) and about restaurant etiquette. Even if they can afford it, 800 for a bottle of wine is very expensive, wether you make 1millions or 1500$ a month

A billionaire complaining about money.

Wasn't there a bit where Robin tested a variety of wines and couldn't tell them apart?

When you want for dinner you order what you would normally order I'm not be excessive

Yeah she's a wine expert, art expert blah blah blah minimally educated pseudosophisticate Howard keeps on board to offset any racial or sexist criticism. Plain and simple.

Listen i get where Howard's coming from but the man's literally worth hundreds of millions and that's after the divorce!

The French section.

If Jackie Marlow was at this dinner this conversation would have been so much more funnier 2022

It is amazing how everyone makes excuses for Howard's poor behavior.

Isn’t Howard like a billionaire

At this point, I think Howard was in his first 90 million dollar contract....

First world problems.

I need a fellow Artie era Stern fan to help me out. I remember a specific bit about someone moving Howard’s jacket over a couple seats at some event but need some more details to jog my memory. Anyone else remember this or think it’s available online?

Know your place. Howard is the lead dog so you fit in to his style.

Howard might be the least gracious man ever 😂

anyone have the video for this?

Remember Robin had Howard sign a contract that no one is ever allowed to say anything negative about her or she'd quit.

Robin is the perfect example of a social experiment when you give a completely talentless, insane person a lot of money and a lavish lifestyle

This is painful….

Also, the man that makes $100m + per contract complaining about wine 🍷 makes it so much more infuriating. I realize he’s blowing it out of proportion for better radio - still, it’s annoying on every side.

ROBERTO

Neither Benjy, Will, not Beth pronounce the letter L. “I told him to hode off!”

I like the thumbnail. Lol

stern has turned into his father...constantly berating those around him, obsessing over restaurant etiquette, etc.

You cant involve benjy in anything. He's going to show off, or make something about himself, nm he has no class, or decorum at all. Taking him to a restaurant that serves $800 wine is asking for it.

Howard makes $1million an episode.

This video artwork is literal art and genius

Howard is worth close to a billion dollars. This is the equivalent of me complaining someone ordered the 99 cent bottomless fountain soda at the restaurant Actually… me spending 99 cents… I would actually be spending a bigger % of my net worth than Howard spending 800 bucks.

26:40 the guy is right Howard's made millions and its kind disrespectful to confront robin on air over it I mean pay the bill Big shot.

One hundred percent benji was coked out of his mind

Robin, wine expert 😂😂😂

Hey now

It's funny people think this crap is real. The billionaire cares about the wine cost.

Listen to the rich argue..

I love how between nods arties going speak on etiquette. Benjys shitty attitude was the exact reason he hasn’t went anywhere in 30 years. He sat in that corner and slid Howard jokes and that’s it, didn’t grow to anything

I’m with Benji on this one. Howard is a strange dude and I wouldn’t want to hang out with him socially. “Howard claps his hands, says let’s order dessert and that’s the signal to move things along.” Lol what? What a fun dinner.

I just love Benji he is annoying to the core and I just love every bit of his bullshit! I like how he argues his point to the very end

I’m NEVER on Robin’s side… ever! She is (unfortunately) in the right here. It doesn’t mean I’m not annoyed by her here… just that compared to Howard, I understand her argument more.

woine

Howard's wrong here. And not just because he's so obnoxiously rich. You don't ask someone you consider a wine expert to pick the wine at a Manhattan restaurant and then cry about the price.

Poor Robin all that fame and wealth mean nothing without someone you love, that's a line from lady sings the blue

They should be talkin about her laugh at last for about a minute and is the most annoying laugh of all time I don't know why it's never addressed. Saying it's a cackle is not living up to the reality of what it actually is. I have to vent in the comments because it annoys me so much and I really like her and feel bad for her because of the abuse she had to go through

They’re both rich. What’s it fucking matter. And I NEVER side with benji but the only thing he did wrong was being late.

Awesome help Benji put Stern right in his place by saying he doesn't give a bleep!!! God forbid you're late to the king's dinner, give me a break. I would have said next time do me a favor and don't invite me. And all of Howard's little minions bending over to kiss his butt about the subject, especially Gary. Sickening

I love artie but I really hated it when he would defend blobin in these types of things bc she was always the first one to pile on him whenever they were giving him shit

I get that Howard is filthy rich. But when you did not grow up rich that mentality does not go away even after you make money. You are talking about a lifetime of conditioning. So an $800 bottle is going to trigger a reaction.

1200 bucks before the wine is bs. Would of been about 2500 easy on only food with that many people

Everyone would’ve had a much better time at Howard’s pretentious dinner had Howard not showed up. I cannot imagine the complete nightmare Beth lives every day. If I were her, I would’ve skimmed a few mill from this creep by now and leave.

Are we sure this isn’t a concocted story? Howard Stern has been a rich, and very recognizable figure since the 90s. Why would he need to be reminded of what something was costing him? These guys are big spender’s, that’s what they do.

13:53

Robin trying to be extra white again 😂

Who was the famous pervert?

Howard is a billionaire complaining about spending 800 dollars for a bottle of wine. 800 dollars to Howard is like a dollar to you and me.

I know this is all entertainment and I hate to defend Robin, but Howard Stern makes about 2,000 dollars per minute in his Sirius contract, meaning he paid for the 3 bottles wine within the first 2 minutes of this very clip we're listening to. To further chastise Robin and the waiter is an embarrassment

Howard Stern, who's sitting with a net worth of $650 million, is worried about an $800 bottle of wine? That's the funniest thing about the whole story.

Howard is such a cheapo. All the money in the world and he still penny penches. This is not outrageous money by any means for someone at his level

Does anybody know who the celebrity was that watched Benjy have sex with someone? Did that ever come out on the show?

So Howard has to rush the meal along cuz the little baby has to be in bed by 9 o'clock. Benji was right when he told him not to care so much. He should have told Howard to stick the dinner up his wazoo! Howard doesn't want him there but if he didn't show up at all Benji would have been chastised for that.

Howard Stern fans are like wrestling fans who think it’s 100% real. This is a SHOW. It’s exaggerated, staged bits. They are trying to entertain. Enjoy it or don’t, but stop talking about how Howard has “changed”.

Howard, perpetually mad that something isn't going his way tells Benji "the world doesn't revolve around you". The more I listen to these random old stern clips, the more I appreciate when Benji would do stuff like this to throw off these self centered rich weirdos.

She is such a horrible person

At the time of this dinner, Stern was making between $80 and $90 mil per year, which is about 1200x the average income of a US citizen. In equivalency, if an average income person bought the wine, it would have economically cost 80 cents per bottle. And yet Stern is complaining about how expensive this is. Such a cheap... not gonna say it.

This is an all-time great moment in spite of Artie. Artie is forcing it. He's stealing the ball. He's not meant to be a primary ball-handler and initiate the offense. He should set picks and occasionally free himself up for an open shot. You can tell that Howard is annoyed. Every time Artie stops the show and asks a question, Howard has to steer it back. Robin kind of diminishes the reveal when early on she says, "some of the bottles cost $1200," this revelation took away some of the impact, as it gave us a range of what the bottle could cost and so we were not as surprised when we found out that the bottle she ordered was $800. Robin pushed back and said that the bottle was $700, but then quickly agreed with Howard when he insisted confidently that it was $800. It was probably $800 with tax. So the bottle was $800, that is set in stone, until of course when Howard went to Fred for a comment and Fred said the bottle was $700. Howard was annoyed by this. Fred is from Mars. He's so off most of the time.

Is Artie back on the show?

I cannot stand Robin

I listen to a lot of these old stern clips. I can’t believe how many people rip on the show and Howard. Why do you listen??
