"Miserable Men" want to make you laugh on Sirius 101 .../ Bob Levy/Shuli/Beetlejuice show at Times Cinema, Milwaukee

These "Miserable Men" want to make you laugh

Drew Olson

"I've been doing comedy for more than 20 years now, and there ain't much better than the show we're bringing," Levy said.

Arthur Hinty has a simple goal.
He wants to transform his Sunday evening satellite radio obsession into a side-splitting Saturday night of comedy featuring a couple of Miserable Men.
If you aren't familiar with the "misery loves comedy" milieu, you probably don't subscribe to satellite radio, appreciate the brilliance of Howard Stern or laugh uproariously at things that others find distasteful. You may even have other commitments between 6 and 10 p.m. Sunday, when the show "Miserable Men" airs on Sirius XM's Howard 101.

Story Highlights

Comedians Bob Levy, Shuli and Beetlejuice from the Sirius XM show "Miserable Men" will perform Saturday night at The Times Cinema.
Milwaukee writer / comedian Arthur Hinty is promoting the show and will appear in an opening slot.
General admission is $20, but $30 gets you a "VIP" package that includes up-front couch seating, a post-show meet-and-greet and a glossy copy of the show's 8x10 promotional flyer.

But, you can still have a great time reveling in bad language and good laughs.
Hinty, a Milwaukee comedian / writer, will join Stern Channel stars Bob Levy, Shuli and Beetlejuice at The Times Cinema, 5906 W. Vliet St. Showtime is 9 p.m. Doors open at 8.
Hinty, who will perform an opening set, put the show together on impulse.
"I'm a big listener to the Stern channels and Sirius in general," he said. "I especially like that show ('Miserable Men'), because it's perfect to watch football on Sunday and then turn it on. It got to be something that I look forward to each week."
When Hinty noticed that the Miserable Men were making a stop in Chicago, he looked at Levy's Web site and saw an open date on Saturday.
"I sent him an e-mail and said 'I know you get a million requests like this, but I'd love to do some time on that show and, by the way, I might be able to put a show together for Milwaukee ..."
Levy called him the next day. The Times jumped on board. A show was born.
"It's narrow-casting," Hinty said. "If you are a Stern fan, you'll drive across the state to see this show. If you don't have Sirius, you may not know who these people are. You may have seen Beetlejuice on TV with Howard Stern, but you may not know what's coming.
"For me, I'm so involved as a listener that it's part of my life. It sometimes strikes me as odd that other people aren't even sure that Stern is still on the radio."
General admission is $20, but $30 gets you a "VIP" package that includes up-front couch seating, a post-show meet-and-greet and a glossy copy of the show's 8x10 promotional flyer.
"It's gonna be a great show, whether you're a fan of our Sirius shows or if you've never even heard of the Miserable Men show," Levy said. "I've been doing comedy for more than 20 years now, and there ain't much better than the show we're bringing.
"We know this show will appeal to Sirius comedy fans, because they're the people who listen to our channel. But even if you're not a listener, if you're a serious comedy fan you're still going to love the show because of what we do.
"I bring what I bring, Shuli is a rising star, that Arthur Hinty better not suck and Beetlejuice, he's the new Sammy Davis Jr."
Beetlejuice, known as the jolly dwarf from Stern's "Whack Pack," might be the best known of the headliners. Levy, who plays 40 weekends a year, has appeared on Stern, the "Jason Ellis Show" and Opie and Anthony. Shuli, who is heard on the Howard 100 News Team, also has appeared on the "Jay Thomas Show."
Sparks fly when the group unites on "Miserable Men." Asked what drew him to the show, Hinty didn't hesitate.
"When Bob sold Sirius on the idea for the "Miserable Men" show four years ago, both Bob and Shuli were single and looking for answers. Now they're both married -- Shuli and his wife just had their first baby last month -- but they've found plenty of ways to remain miserable," Hinty said.
"One of the most fun parts of the show is the way the guys play merciless, brutal pranks on one another, exacting mental and/or physical torment. They know each other and are so fond of one another that they know just which buttons to push to coax the maximum response out of the others."
Hinty, who has performed with Doug Stanhope, Andy Andrist, Neil Hamburger and others, played a bit of a prank on Levy.
"When we locked in with The Times Cinema, they told me their building was technically in Milwaukee," he said. "The city limits of Wauwatosa start at 60th Street, two doors to the west. But I decided to move things around just a little, for the sake of comedy.
"Bob is a smart guy and has an incredibly quick wit, but one of his quirks is a difficulty in reading, especially unfamiliar words. There's even a segment on "Miserable Men" where callers spell words out to see if Bob can pronounce them ... The results are usually hilarious.
"When I e-mailed Bob with the show info so he could tape a promotional message, I told him The Times was located in Wauwatosa. No pronunciation guide, nothing. I wanted to see what he did with that city name.
"He took the bait -- he tried to say "Wauwatosa" a dozen or more times, and never once got it right. And Shuli, who helped him record the promo, saved all the outtakes and played them during the show. They even played a "Watusi" song behind the out-takes -- you could hear Bob's tone of voice going from mild frustration to full, bleeped-out boil. Then I called in and 'fessed up about my little act of subterfuge and everyone -- maybe except Bob -- had a good laugh."
In the end, the laughs are what matters.
"We love Milwaukee and we love Wamatoosie," Levy said.

Do I Need a Sperm Count Test?

Sperm count tests are an essential part of a fertility work-up for any couple facing infertility. Because women will often speak to their gynecologist first, a sperm count test -- officially known as a semen analysis -- may not be suggested right away. When it does come up, usually at the request of a savvy gynecologist or at a fertility clinic, the man may be hesitant to go along with the sperm count testing.

Answer: It really is best to have a sperm count test done as soon as possible, before any treatments are started.
We often think of failure to conceive as a “woman’s problem” (after all, all the exciting action takes place in her body). However, according to the American Association of Reproductive Medicine, as many as 40% of infertile couples involve male factor infertility.

Male Infertility: Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment

Sometimes it’s solely the man who is infertile, but a third of the time, both the woman and the man are diagnosed with infertility. So even if the woman already has a diagnosis of infertility, the man should also be checked. It could be both of them.

Sperm Count Analysis Saves Time

One big reason to go along with the test right away is that the earlier the test is completed, the sooner appropriate treatment can be started. If the focus remains on treating the woman’s infertility issues, and the man’s fertility issues are ignored, all the medications and cycles may be wasted.
In the case of Clomid, for example, there are limits on how many consecutive cycles are allowed. If a woman takes Clomid for the maximum allowed time period, still doesn’t get pregnant, and only afterward it is discovered that there are male factor infertility issues, the couple will have lost not only the treatment time, but also the time needed to allow the body to rest and recover from the medication use.
Another factor to consider is age. Especially after age 35, a woman’s fertility declines at a faster pace. Several months of inappropriate treatment may lead to a lower chance of success once the right treatment option is discovered.

Sperm Count Analysis Saves Money

If you’re not so worried about losing time, consider the cost involved in fertility treatments. Insurance companies vary with regards to coverage, but a cycle or two of IUI can cost in the thousands of dollars. If IVF or ICSIS are what were really required, you will have thrown money away.
Not only will you have lost money on treatments that were not appropriate, you will have that much less money for further treatments. With the average cost of IVF between $8,000 and $15,000, every dollar counts.

Sperm Analysis May Save You Some Heartbreak

Perhaps even more important than lost time and lost money, getting the sperm count testing done early may save you some heartbreak.
Any couple coping with infertility knows how hard it is to go cycle to cycle, wondering if the treatments will work this time. Finding out after months of trying that the treatments had little chance for success will not only add to the sadness, but also just thinking about the wasted time and hope comes with its own ocean of anger and pain.

So, Should You Have the Test Done?

To answer the question, yes, a couple being evaluated for infertility should make sure that both the woman and the man are properly evaluated. For the man, that means a sperm count test, at the very least.
At the same time that the woman goes to see her gynecologist, the man really should seek out a urologist for an infertility work-up. (Unless a reproductive endocrinologist is treating both of them already.)
If the sperm count test comes out normal, you’ll have eliminated a potential cause, and if there are problems, you can be sure to start appropriate treatment faster.
Just one last note to nervous husbands and boyfriends: If you’re nervous of what your partner will think of you if the sperm count test is low, ask her and I’m sure she’ll tell you that she will love you as much after poor results as she did before. I can’t say, however, how happy she’ll be with you if she goes through fruitless treatments because you refused a simple test early on.

The FertilMARQ Home Diagnostic Screening Test provides everything you need to collect and test two separate semen samples and will help you and your physician determine if you have a low sperm count.

How The Test Works
The way the test works is quite simple. Once a semen sample has been obtained, you then place it in the testing well of the test cassette. The sperm in the testing well will be change color and you will then compare the sperm sample's color to the color reference on the test cassette. The more intense the color, the higher the sperm count. An intense color will indicate a positive test with a sperm concentration higher than 20 million/mL while a lighter color will indicate a negative test with less than 20 million/mL.

Miserable Men Show Makes headlines with Wall Street Journal ?

2010-02-19T16:35:00.000-08:00

Remember the "King of All Media?"
For many people, Howard Stern has been off the radar since he moved to satellite radio more than four years ago. But in recent days it is not just his loyal subscribers who have been hearing about him. A report that he's in the running to judge "American Idol" has proved surprisingly persistent, despite the usual conjecture that he's just putting us on.
Whether or not the caustic comic is ready for family-friendly prime time—a person close to the show called the notion "insane"—the "Idol" speculation has helped Mr. Stern succeed at returning to the center of attention long after leaving the public airwaves.
"God, this is getting a lot of ink," he crowed recently on his show, as he fantasized about a $100 million "Idol" salary, tore down judge Ellen DeGeneres and played clips of TV pundits parsing the rumors.
Simon Cowell, the judge Mr. Stern supposedly would replace, dismissed the idea Thursday night in a conference call with reporters. "I'm fairly certain that there hasn't been an approach at any time for Howard to do the show," Mr. Cowell said.

The chatter comes as one of the entertainment industry's highest-profile contracts is coming to an end in December: the five-year, $500 million deal that brought Mr. Stern and his crew to Sirius. It was a bold investment for the then-fledgling satellite-radio company, which desperately needed a big name to attract paying subscribers and build the brand.
It worked. An estimated two million of his fans ponied up for satellite receivers and about $13 monthly to subscribe to Sirius, which survived to merge with XM and now has nearly 19 million subscribers combined. But the company isn't likely to gamble $500 million again. "In the past we were forced to do whatever it took to get the content," CEO Mel Karmazin told investors last fall. Now, without head-to-head competition, Sirius XM has been able to strike "market-rate deals" with talent.
Back in the spotlight at 56 years old, Mr. Stern finds himself at a crossroads in the culture. To nonsubscribers he is out of the conversation and, perhaps worse for the onetime "shock jock," harmless: In the three years after Mr. Stern went to satellite, total complaints to the Federal Communications Commission about indecency fell by half compared with the previous three-year period. Yet to most of his followers on satellite, he has reached new heights of comedy now that censors aren't policing his every word. These fans are more devoted than ever; 72% of Mr. Stern's current listeners say they almost never switch off to other Sirius XM channels, according to media research firm Bridge Ratings.

Howard Stern's contract is up with Sirius in January 2011. It begs the questions what's next for the shock jock and why did he leave for satellite radio in the first place.

Mr. Stern has many options, though few that offer the wide exposure he once enjoyed. He could plunge into television and film, where he has experience both on screen and as a producer. Terrestrial radio broadcasters would line up to have him back. But the industry is struggling with shrinking ad revenue, and going back on the public airwaves would entangle the host in broadcasting rules he fought so hard to escape. Mr. Stern and Sirius XM didn't respond to requests for comment.
He could also jump to the Internet, where he could build his own network and sell access through subscriptions. That would be a pioneering move, but it might represent a step down to a man steeped in the mass medium of radio. Instead, many analysts and radio experts expect Mr. Stern to re-up at satellite, but to take a pay cut in exchange for less time on the air, freeing him up to pursue other projects.
Mr. Stern's decision will be a bet on which direction media is heading, reflecting a big debate that he's seen both sides of. Which is the future–traditional ad-supported platforms like "Idol," or models in which subscribers pay for content?
Mr. Stern's leverage, of course, depends on whether the Sirius years have diminished his stature in the media food chain. Many argue not to underestimate him, including enduring guest Quentin Tarantino. Last summer, the "Inglourious Basterds" director's remarks on air about partying with actor Brad Pitt ricocheted around the world. "After I do the Howard show, people come up to me for the next f—ing six months and say, 'Man, I loved you on Howard!' " Mr. Tarantino says.

Sirius XM's subscriber rolls don't reflect the extent of Mr. Stern's reach. Citizens of Howard Nation upload his radio shows and on-demand TV clips to the Internet almost immediately after they air. On the Pirate Bay, an online clearinghouse for free music and movies, there are about 850 Stern episodes available, and some as old as eight months are still being actively downloaded and discussed, according to the research firm BigChampagne.
There's no question Mr. Stern has cut loose inside the satellite paywall, punctuating his comments with expletives and delving into the minutiae of bodily functions. Still, devotees of the show have always argued that such hijinks cloud the core of Mr. Stern's appeal.
"The show is so great and so complicated, but non-listeners think it's just lesbians making out and porn stars taking off their tops," says Ira Glass, host of "This American Life" and an icon of genteel public radio. A fan going back to the 1980s, Mr. Glass compares Mr. Stern to Jack Benny in the way he conducts a shifting tableau of comic characters. Yet it was often Mr. Stern himself who played up the salacious shtick of his show during public appearances. "It was better for business, but as a result, he's had to live with the fact the show is widely misperceived," Mr. Glass says.
Mr. Stern plays the father figure to a sprawling family of employees, associates and social misfits with nicknames like Medicated Pete, Eric the Midget and Jeff the Drunk. For all his guests, from D-listers to stars including Benicio Del Toro and Ozzy Osbourne recently, the most compelling moments of the show amount to eavesdropping on a room full of bickering co-workers. Hours are devoted to supposed slights and missteps, such as the bar stools that producer Gary Dell'Abate selected for his home theater—an apparent decorating gaffe that Mr. Stern excoriates him for.
Two Sirius channels carry Mr. Stern's programming, including his flagship drive-time show and bulletins from a news team that covers the boss and the personalities in his orbit. Mr. Dell'Abate (better known as Baba Booey) hosts a regular "Wrap Up Show" in which fellow staffers and callers attempt to divine Mr. Stern's way of thinking, including his plans for their collective future. "I won't say I'm looking for a job, but what are my options?" Mr. Dell'Abate said recently to a caller.
Hanging on each word are listeners like Danny DelloBuono, who wears a Philadelphia Phillies jersey autographed by various Stern underlings. As a caller, Mr. DelloBuono has made it onto the air some 50 times, he boasts, usually on the "Wrap Up" show, where he invariably insults Baba Booey's favorite baseball team, the Mets. Mr. DelloBuono, 41 years old, launched his call-in campaign after he was laid off as a union carpenter last year and began spending more time with Stern and company. "I listen to them more than my own family," says Mr. DelloBuono, who fears that next year Mr. Stern will leave Sirius or cut back his hours significantly. "The window of opportunity was closing up and I wanted to reach these guys. I want to listen to the last second," he says.

Last Saturday night, Mr. DelloBuono was handing out CD compilations of his recorded calls at a Ramada Inn outside Philadelphia, where about 200 fellow fans had gathered to hear several comics, all part of the sprawling Stern ecosystem. The gig was headlined by insult comic Rev. Bob Levy, who does a weekly panel show, "The Miserable Men," on one of Mr. Stern's channels. A camera crew followed Mr. Levy that night for a reality series Mr. Levy hopes to launch, but using the Stern connection comes with strings attached. Mr. Levy's reality producers say they met with Mr. Stern's program director, Tim Sabean, in hopes of shooting inside the Sirius studios. But gaining such access would require giving up some ownership of the project to Mr. Stern.

“ Howard Stern's show is boring, he takes way too many days off, and doesn't seem to enjoy doing radio. ”

—Mohammad Khairy

Mr. Levy speculated that Mr. Stern will sign up for another two years at Sirius—not that the host has confided in him or anyone else outside his small inner circle. Whatever the decision, the comics expressed optimism that they'd be swept along with Mr. Stern into the third act of his career. "Howard always takes care of his people," Mr. Levy says. A Stern staffer and comic who goes by the name Shuli adds, "We're all barnacles on the S.S. Stern."
What would it mean for satellite radio if Mr. Stern exited? Unloading the costly host and his team would be a short-term gain for the company's bottom line. Yet that savings would vanish if subscribers bailed in big numbers, analysts say. Going into negotiations, Sirius XM's challenge is to accurately predict that churn. "If they think they wouldn't lose many subscribers, they need to sharpen the pencil," says Barrington Research analyst James Goss.
Bristling at claims that he was feeding the rumor mill to strengthen his negotiating position, Mr. Stern said on the air recently, "Sirius already knows my value to this company…Am I that lame that I need 'American Idol' to negotiate?"
