Howard Stern- Jackie Martling “Marbles Saga” 

Love when Gilbert does a reenactment of Artie telling him how to maKe the CD😂

Howard always had robin, Fred, and Gary in the palm of his hands. Fred doesn't even want to think about what he would be doing if he and Howard never crossed paths, robin would be continued as a straightlaced news woman instead of doing a hackneyed job at just cutting stories out of the newspaper and passing it off as work and spending the rest of the show laughing and agreeing with Howard, and wouldn't dare rock the boat and ruin his amazing deal going from getting lunch to being the shows producer despite hardly being qualified for the job (Gary seems like the most decent and sane of them all and the one I like the best as a person by the way). The three of them allowed Howard to make all of the money while leaving them the scraps to divvy up between each other because they knew outside of this show they'd be lucky to have a career in show business let alone do anything that could remotely come close to the gig. Jackie and Artie on the other hand had varying levels of success in show business and knew how to get a decent deal for themselves and always had the option to jump into other pursuits if push came to shove. Artie just made his on the road using the show so he stayed relatively happy as far as financially, Jackie was there as the show reached new heights and kept seeing Howard's pay grow exponentially while his and everybody else remained stagnant and seeing as he was on the air as long as Howard was writing his jokes he always felt he should see a rise in pay as well. I don't think he deserved as much as Howard but if all these new markets are being broken and tv shows are becoming hits partially due to you you'd be miffed at the fact your pay stayed the same too. All the while Howard just kept getting richer and richer. He'd tell Jackie not to count his pockets but back in the day when they'd discuss Jackie having contract problems they would start to figure in the fact that he has no kids and if he stopped funding Nancy and her furkhachte hobbies the money would go a lot further AKA counting his pockets. Jackie isn't perfect in this whole thing, he should be been more genuine with his wants and just say he resented the huge pay disparity between Howard and everyone else while calling them all a team, but look at Billy west, he left for greener pastures too! He saw pretty quickly Howard was gonna exploit his talents and not pay him adequately so quietly bounced and made a great career for him self something that the others Jackie included knew they couldn't do. Artie was smart (in the beginning) counted his blessings and made extra money on the roads, Gary stuck with Howard knowing this was the best shot he had in this business and wound up getting paid pretty well in th move to satellite, robin made off like a thief due to her psychopathic undying loyalty to Howard, and Fred seems like he would've put up with anything to be here because him most out of everyone was afraid to imagine life after the show. I understand Jackie and his resentment totally but in hindsight had he just stuck it out and handled the negotiations better until Sirius things would have worked themselves out. I also think he resented Howard because of how he would say he wasn't involved in the contract negotiations (which he knew wasn't true) but would belittle and put Jackie down iterating how easily replaceable he was and should take whatever he was being offered rather than helping out or staying neutral like he claimed to be.

Tom must be in his office punching walls over Howard managing to crowbar in an hour of promotion for Sirius.

Jackie nuts but that Marble analogy is super true lol

Imagine turning down over $500,000 a year because you didn’t want to wake up at 4:30 in the morning and work for only 4 hours. It’s insane how Artie screwed it up as well. They had it so good. 😂

The bigger part of this clip in my opinion is him discussing the news team for the first time

Can’t believe cbs allowed this ad for sat radio on their air

I love how half of this is them doing a thinly veiled promotion for their move to Sirius lol. I forgot about that weird little cul de sac in stern show history

The exciting start of the news division that never did a hard hitting story about Howard.

That show has given me so much joy throughout the years. Who am I to complain?

He was a cheap, swindling, carny alcoholic. But, i loved him on the show.

Stern himself said " I want everything for myself and nothing for anyone else"

This whole giving Rodney jokes is a chapter or two in Martling's book "Bow To Stern" which I thought was pretty good, i bought it online and I liked it.

The hate from Fred is so sad. They all talk about sal kissing his Howard's ass, Fred is so far up there

Jackie's laugh was gold....its almost as good as JD's

This was all one large plug for Sirius while he was finishing out his KRock contract, just like when he works in live reads for shit and tries to make it sound “organic” 37:13 - He proves my point by being mad that we didn’t hear the wrap-around Howard100 News jingle, all we got was the Jackie soundbite he claimed he was only playing it for 😂😂 no wonder Infinity friggin sued him

"MAWBLZ!"

Getting up at 4:30 is nothing. Especially when your job is done by 10am 😂

What? Howard doing the bs thing. The news was never about “skewering” Howard. They never did any kind of news that put Howard in a bad light.

Giving out the Jackie CD's as a prize to callers was so F'd up 😅

Artie was great but I loved Jackie. He always cracked me up.

27:28 this 'full autonomy' changed fast

Freds Jackie impersonation is as good as Billy Wests lol

10:56 *i was a middler* Superfan Sal brings up this exact comment during his Artie blowup

Jackie's constant Beatles analogy he's used for decades is so cringe. Every time he says that he acts like it's the first time he's done so

i love how people cant listening to these old clips without lamenting the current stern show... *how about realizing that you are getting older and that is what you are mad about. i wish it was 1998 sometimes too... guess what... it isnt*

And Jackie was a significant aspect of the og HSS: why wouldn’t he assume he would make additional money whenever they went into a new market (which Howard and KRock would make millions off of) why wouldn’t you give the core members a small fraction at least to keep morale intact? Now that’s being cheap imo

Howard may be wrong 90% time he called jackie leaving 100%. Said soon as Jackie left he get a divorced and fall off cliff and thts exactly wht happend. Irony jackie wanted more $ and almost instantly lost half in divorce

Gary simping hard over Beth. 😂 Yes Sir boss.

Jackie was valued by Howard if not his disappearance would have gone unnoticed.

This is amazing content I've never heard. Do you have this entire show? I missed May through December 2005 because my local station had taken Howard off the air. Any shows from then would be awesome.

Do you have the show when Rodney was in studio ???

Hearing these clips after all of these years is so maddening now. Jackie was 100% right in what he was asking for, but for some reason he just couldn't come right out and say how Howard was screwing him over. And at most, in some random interview I heard with Jackie and John and Billie, he gave an example about when Howard first signed the contract for E! to televise the show and suddenly there was more money yet no one but Howard was allowed to make it (that's when Jackie made the camera lights turn off over him whenever they were filming a segment for tv). And when you think about every employee over the years that Howard just used and threw away - KC, Artie, the E! crew themselves - and you see how they have no money while Howard has used their personal stories over the years (after they were tossed away) as content that kept making him money, then you realize how much Jackie was right about the marble analogy. Even Artie criticized Howard on his Quitter podcast (which has since been deleted off the face of the Earth) about how EVERYONE who was involved with the Howard Stern show left a lot of blood on the floor that Howard SHOULD HAVE gifted them all millions as a gift just to be a "thank you" for everything they did. Can you imagine telling a story about your own family or relationships over time, and then Howard owns it and can sell it and gets to make money while you live in squander? F' Howard, F' Robin, F' Gary, and F' everyone that spins this crap to make Howard look innocent in all this.

Jackie was right. He deserved more money and they treated him like he was moron. Good for Jackie.

I love how in the thumbnail picture of this clip you only see Howard's huge Adams apple and part of his Witch's chin.

Howard, Fred and Robin can try to hide it behind a million jokes but Jackie was right. Howard would rather hoard 99% of the money the show made. He could easily pay every single person there 4x what they make and he would still be a millionaire a hundred times over. I can’t imagine being greedy on that level.

Its funny how many people were on Howard News in the beginning, why did he need a staff that big for? Their news stories were so mundane because there wasn't even enough for them to cover even though the move to Sirius was such big news on it's own. The whole news team idea is long gone right?

Lol the News department having autonomy didn’t last long

Prob an understatement to say Jackie overestimated his worth ...what a dope.

Jackie was yoko because Howard was Lennon, Robin was Paul, Gary was Ringo, and Fred was George

40:08; weird conversation knowing what we know about Artie now

Jackie and Billy single handedly build the show

Imagine a show with Artie Jackie and Billy and no wiggy and Blobbin 🔥

Future Arty should have re-listened to 27:45 about the news team, might have avoided the Lisa G drama...

This is a compilation but it would be great if you can take out all the crap about the news department. What does that have to do with Jackie?

The only good Jackie moments are when everyone is making fun of him

Wow you know I typically always assumed Howard was just full of shit, but yeah I kinda see what he means regarding Jackie: even him sitting in studio with glasses on and purposefully circling stocks and shit is def a passive aggressive move - it’s like hey shithead I’m gonna do this in front of you and on your time because I have to earn the extra money you won’t pay me. lol fr that is absolutely a passive thing whether Jackie was even aware of it or not

SHUT UP ROBIN !!!

It’s hilarious.. Howie has the mic.. so people just listen blindly.. Jackie wanted more money, that Howard was obviously not willing to part with , he makes money and no one else does .. he gets his back up whenever anyone brings up their $$$ situation

Love Howard but the money thing is my biggest knock on him. Him making 12mil while Fred robin and Jackie make 200kish is just too big of a gap. I get that Howard was hurting after the divorce and scared. But once he banked 100mil and no more child support he should taken care of the whole team.

Jackie is a DISASTER 😂

Glad Hackie left the show! He did us all a favor by getting us Artie😝

Hackie full of shit as usual. Now he quit because he was "tired". He also lied, one time Howard made fun of him for paying Rodney back in jokes and denied it after admitting it on the show

Borefest beyond the Jackie stuff.

I'm convinced robin is really jealous of Artie so much that she hates him

Nice wig Howard.

Jackie was right about howard thats why the actual show never had any money to do outside shows. Stern wanted everything and if anything was left Robin took it. Thats why stern for years took advantage of fans for free content and labor

5:50 real moment of honesty from Howard... He wasnt sure the show would be as good without Jackie. Also... he is an old man now... obviously he isnt as interesting in his 60s and 70s

The Beatles were Howard, Jackie, Fred and Billy. Robin wasn't even Yok Ono.

This bit was funny besides Robin agreeing with Howard 💯…yikes talk about a EOE employer 😂🎉

Jackie wrote the jokes, and jooboy took all the credit…he’s such a “genius “…according to him!

Back from when the show had energy and drive ..Now its just leftie limo riding. BS .

Fred is king

Howard kinda proved Jackies point @13:35. When Howard moved to a new market he wouldn't pass on the uptick in salary to anyone else. He tries to make an analogy and it doesn't work. So yes, he is trying to keep the 100 marbles

Artie so bad on radio everyone talks over him. Then artie has to wait until the talent talks then speaks.

1:02:48 Beth WAS Yoko

Jackie deserved better, and fucking Stern was worse for it.

Think about when Jackie left to where the show is now... it may of tookn5 years to notice but now the show is shit

Ironic as now the stern show is literally unlistenable. He got lucky getting Artie. Go listen to the bullshit now and you’d swear it’s not the same show.

The show would be nothing without Jackie, Artie, and Billy. Howard Gary and Robin are talentless

This is actually pretty awful. Shouldve stayed in the vault

More Artie lies.

Jackie sucks. Completely unfunny and uninteresting. Artie was only a little less so.

Watched and listenwd to then for many yrs. I can say from personal knowledge that they were Losers...all of them. 🙄

Robin is unbearable to listen to, if I wanted to hear everything Howard says twice I would just rewind.
