ETM calls in to show for first time ever

[ralphyetmore]

0:55 - Stern, "What are you? A midget?"

ETM, "Yeah."

He accepted the name from day one.

7:28 Stern, "Eric The Midget..."

Not once in this call, or hearing his show name, did he have a problem. So funny.

[bigbadG1992]

44 seconds in the call howard says we gotta get him down here! and the sega begins lol

[jwolf822]

his nose & lips are so small but his eyes are HUGE. weird, wacky shi#!

[9pt9]

Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

[crankylifter]

Eric the Fuck.

[SouthTexasThrowdown]

@crankylifter ERIC THE SHITCOCK!

[DirkDaring99]

Howard: "I'm going to give you $500."

Eric: "OK. I'll give you my address."

Ungrateful little shitbird from day one.

[katkal3]

even since the first call eric cant take hint when it's time to hang up. He loves his moment in the spotlight.

[msannethr0pe]

who wouldve known he would become the king of the wackpackers!

[olhole]

kelly clarkson is hot...a great singer, and a beautiful person.

[katkal3]

we gotta get you down here...LOL!

[Keys22765]

He's an icon in wackpackdom.

[interfan63]

give me the top 3, wack material...lol

[jadeyedman007]

this was the beginning of something beautiful

[tigerweiser]

sept 19th, 2002... where does the time go?

[JOEYGOLDCOMEDY]

@tigerweiser is that to say that i just wasted almost 9 YEARS listening to this little piece of shit?!?!?!?

[Sabocalypse]

lol pretty interesting how the show evolved his personality

[sean9820]

Once ungrateful, always ungrateful...if only howard knew what he was getting himself into with this little shit stain lol.

[chiefcomanche74]

His personality disorder is waaayyyy more debilitating than anything physical he has ("I'm club-f***in footed, you asswipe!").

[alexgmny]

Well, he will go down as one of the greatest wackpackers.

[kugelmanco]

"We gotta get you down here" - best line ever

[geraldleewhite]

I can't believe he had a cameo on Fringe!

[tacitus2244]

he's such an ungrateful piece of shit but he is great on the show

[buggerm4n]

8 |

[matentupe]

ack ack



[bishop102]

I would love to use this slimy midget as a punching bag.

[Bigblue091]

It begins...

[warmgunofadaytripper]

stank on your hanglow!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!­

[8xMissOctober]

when was the call?

[flyastarship]

Howard: Hey Eric I'm gonna give you $500

Eric: Okay. So I give you my address?

Ungrateful from the start.

[mahmahmonkey]

To think that 8 years later he would be the answer in a NY Times crossword puzzle.

[So2thaBored]

<3 Eric the Midget now more than ever!

[hunglo1967]

He sounds like Selma Bouvier off the Simpsons. Retarded midget..lol.

[tigerwoodsondxm]

he hates being called MIDGET yet HE AGREES WITH STERN THAT HE IS A MIDGET ..

[MrAvidLearner]

ACK ACK ACK!

[bpaulik923]

@MrAvidLearner LOL! Eric the ACK ACK ACTOR!

[danogzilla]

was happysmokepothead1 taken?

[laughingparadox]

You work in a circus?

Haha,

[ClutchFan1971]

Does this midget still go on the Stern Show?

[flyastarship]

@ClutchFan1971

Does he go in the studio? only once,I believe.

Does he still call in? yes.

[grungecrunge]

That picture of Eric reminds me of the infamous Charlie Manson mugshot.

[HueyRocks23]

I remember this. Ungrateful lil' biatch.

[flyastarship]

Johnny....this is Eric....I'm calling about that guy....you know what to do.....

Ack....

[netfan44]

The day history was made on the Stern show. The single best wack packer was born. ACK ACK ughhhhh ACK ACK

[Drummer12054]

You know he knew the words to that song.

[yakomuto]

What year was this?

[flicknausi]

September 19, 2002

[Rahab111222]

No one would've ever guessed Eric would eventually become a hit calling gangster who indulges himself in hookers and takes advantage of people.

[SavagesInMyTown]

@Rahab111222 dont forget tax evasion lol

[TheMatthew2424]

hahahaha ungrateful to.....

this shit is crazy tho i have never heard it..

[bishop102]

I thought he was a virgin?

[flyastarship]

@bishop102

He was at the time of this call.

Howard just asked him when the last time he got laid was.

Eric said never.

[Bigblue091]

@Rahab111222 The life of eric the midget

[Hounsfield]

Artie had the line of the year. "something tells me you're not Garth Brooks with instruments" FUCKING HILARIOUS. I'm not even that much of an Artie fan, but that was killer

[theinfamous44333]

lol it took 2 seconds to recognize ETM is gold lol, he truly has an eye for talent

[altondesu]

Gotta give props to ETM, I would DESTROY Beverly Mitchell.

[portalplayer]

this is a classic!

[1844Freddy]

Someone explain the "ack ack" thing to me?

[macco360]

They say sometimes the sounds he makes reminds them of "Mars Attacks"

[corpsejr]

its cause he he al sounds like the aliens from "when Mars Attacks"

[MisanthropikOne]

Its the alien from "Mars Attacks". They say Eric sounds like that.

[sidewalkpilot]

i remember the first call :)

[Jmachine4]

What was the date of his first call?

[jjadams76]

7:30

the words that changed Eric's life forever.

[trrbe1]

yeah haha

[agentsmith28052]

Eric the bastard

[abovethecloudsLA]

Eric the uptight asshole !!

[morningwood7777]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[flyingtorpedo]

Love how Howard gets right to the point. "Eric whats wrng with you? What are you a midget?"

[Pooternackle]

and he admits he was a midgit! but now he doesn't want to be called one

[AFluffyBunny4]

Eric was great today. It's funny on this tape because when Howard asked him if he is a midget, Eric says "yes". So you started it didn't you Eric!! ?? You little Fricking Midget!

[deanpap]

Eric- You finally grew on me..I can't get enough....I still won't accept Artie, fucking boring bastard..

[dhernb11]

ack ack

[ericshaffer1972]

why did Fred change the ack ack to duck sounds?Copyright infringement? From WB who produced Invaders from Mars maybe?

[illlyricist420]

because the new one is Eric saying it. On Erics tv show or what ever the fuck it is eric says " I dont say Ack ACK!!" worst move he could of made

[marcifein]

as soon as howard finds out he is a freak he is all over it!!! You just gotta love eric the midget!!!!

[irishkevin44]

American Idol tool from the very start. What a ungracious dick. ack! ack!

[billyysands]

this is a riot

[Jeebusyourstupid]

A star is born.

[panhead55]

yeah, this was some of the best stuff ever. i remember when it first aired, i would pee my pants laughing. i remember the space effects they would play while eric would talk...LOL

[jayhawks25]

lol you work in the circus or something? haha

[June28July]

When was this?

[jayhawks25]

Im guessing around 2002 - 2003 cause hes calling in to defend kelly clarkson on american idol and acording to wikipedia american idol started in 2002

[already69it]

im club fucken footed you asswipe

[Justinbacca]

Within the first minute Howard already detected a new Wack Pack member hahahaha

[kugelmanco]

i fucking love when you can tell howard just lights up when he hears eric start talking!

-WE GOTTA GET YOU DOWN HERE...-

[bigfilmhat]

0.0

[justonlyjeff]

Ack Ack

[janakazi]

Even back then, Howard gives him $500 what does he say "ok, umm, do i give you my address?" Howard has to say "cheer up" for that little shit to say thank you. But it is true that guy is so funny... so many great moments when people rip that little midget a new one. the best sound bite related to that little shit ---- SHUT UP!!! and zero point zero.

[2mauthnercells]

zero. point. zero.

[johnboy8888]

he was a little cockshit midget back then too

[imthechasman]

Eric + Air Force Amy > Brangelina

[SCoop923]

Fred Norris

[enriquem2872]

"His name's Jerry. Find him. You know what to do. You KNOW what to do."

[steveshort4steven]

howard stern is the only one who can spin eric segments into something funny. howard stern is the best

[thatkat06]

redrum

[1077ching]

Eric saved the Stern Show. More Eric please

[32574]

etm rules mannn. (ese enanito si que manda !!!!

vamos eric no te dejes !!!!) (c0me on eric don't give up !!!!)

[jasonolds442]

I'm with Jimmy Kimmel and Howard. Eric is radio gold for life.

I can listen to every word he says, and hang on to every word.

The bit where he was going to fly to JFK airport to break Fred's fingers after the Steve Langford story about Eric selling Zero.Point.Zero tickets was my favorite moment in the Sirius years.

People who legitimately hate him always fascinate me.

[drn8383fuse]

Eric is the best

[armenianUFOvartarn]

SHUT UP!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!

[Eparabola]

Balloons!

[sidewalkpilot]

ACK ACK

[EricTheAcktor]

This was the beginning of the end of the beginning of the middle of the end.

The dullness begins.

[seacrestgi5]

zero point zero

[strawhataddison]

too funny, howard at the end "enough of that guy!"

[dostoyevskyfan]

RED RUM!

[tedtheshed]

ACK ACK

[matttt555]

its so fuuny listing to howard talking to him the first time. who would have guessed he end up taking over the show

[Ravens0316]

Eric is the best!!!!

[btp840]

Classic!!!! Bukakke!!!!

[fyresyde1066]

He perpetually has the look of a man who's been smacked with a fish.

[AdolescentGorilla]

Those eyebrows were taking on a life of their own

[kobetherapist]

lol@ your a guy???

[sirgarycoleman]

I'm in love with a midget man.

[MKUltra3]

superstar, supernova

[milncoln]

DAMMIT!!! i was listenin to all the old eric the midgets on ytbywie's page... then they got to him!!

bastards!!

man loved that page *sighs*

[Ldiablo80]

my god. the day he entered the stern show is my personal 9/11.

[theBigTakeover]

HOW DARE YOU COMPARE ERIC THE MIDGET TO 911!!!

911 wasnt half as annoying.

[slipperywhenbrett]

powerful metaphor, so basically he flew with balloons into your world trade center?

[Acoustic0026]

Screw you, Diablo.  People died that day.

[LIXO88]

fly with balloons already eric

kendra f'd you over

so fly, fly away!

[wltfe]

what a great start to his relationship to the show....Howard figured this guy out in 15 seconds.....great stuff

[vampirehunterme]

and so the most hillarious bit ever began

[EriccCartmann]

This little MF'er gets older and older by the day. He looks like an old ass man with wild eyebrows in a baby's body. Those eyebrows look like they were drawn on with a permanent magic marker

[blkescalade]

I wonder what he is going too look like when he is sixty years old? small ass old man lol

[blkescalade]

howard sure does know how too pick em eh? he loves these wack pack type people

[supheer]

His heart is set at full speed ahead!

[bixdugan]

Best personality EVER! Love that Eric. The latest insult (fred's drop-in of the aliens fron Mars Attacks) plus the Dr. Who music = entertainment.

[djtkgt]

shuli is a no talent I agree what a fag.But Lisa g has a great ASS

[s0jasos]

your not garth brooks with instruments..

[yascya]

Howard asked if Eric was a "midget" and he said "yes." Hrm...

[uel786]

Cut the guy some slack. His only joy in life is being a caller to the Stern show. He is what he is.

[kaptaintrips]

I was was ETM I'd be a pissy little SOB too. I think he adds a lot of spice to the show with Fred and Artie raging on him. The last week ETM has been on fire!

[shadyzho]

i just seen what he looked like for the first time when they were making fun of him on on camera what a fucked up individual

[tariq42]

I stoped this b4 it would play..i just wanted to say every time he comes on the air I change the station until i think he's gone..he gets on my fucking nerves!! sorry for his condition but he's a annoying!

[princedavid0]

Wow he got 500$ for the first time he called and he still doesn't say thank you right away. Even in the beginning he doesn't sound grateful

[phendformyself]

Wow! i've been a listener for 10 years and never heard this!

He sounds so meek and timid! nothing like eric nowadays. Howard coudn't say that stuff to eric without him blowing up and frothing at the mouth.

eric the midget is great. he makes me feel better about myself. he's got a celebrity mentality with neither the fame nor the fortune!

[stopxthisxfall]

Eric the Midget is such a fucking loser. Seriously, he's the only reason I'd ever stop listening to Howard. But I love Howard and Bubba.

[jsniff1]

Shuli, the untalented, bald, pencil neck geek, unfunny, annoying, glorified wackpacker is the only reason that I may ever stop listening to the show. I hate Shuli so much. I guess Eric is annoying too but the audience isn't subjected to hear hom every single day.

[justintheeditor]

Man, I thought I was alone in my opinion of Shuli. He is such a snide, unoriginal no-talent who got a lucky break with Howard. Howard usually surrounds himself with unique and talented personalities that enrich the show. Shuli-much like that lying loser Cabbie-seems to be a charity case. Shuli comes to the potluck with nothing but a fork.

[ludwig71]

Shalom, biatch! I fucking hate that.

[StandupShowcase]

yeah shuli is one unfunny dude. why he's on the show I have no idea.

oh and eric the midget might be the funniest whack packer out there.

[VideoZonkers]

agreed..the following people need to be cut from the show: Shuli, Lisa G, Mike Walker, High Pitch Mike.

[captyour]

you mean high pitch eric

[VideoZonkers]

no, i mean high pitch mike. high pitch eric is awesome.

[alexspire]

Eric the Midget is such a little @sshole, but he's the best part of the show!!

[LGWOOT]

I HATE THIS MOFO !!!

he is Sooooo ungrateful ! they have done so much for this frickin retard midget and he still asks for more and more and more ! i remember whern he called in and i hated him then and still do !

[LGWOOT]

and howard gives him 500$ and he goes uhhh-h ok

sonabitch

[estopa2006]

i love that little turd

[FishAquaMalaspina]

dropping loads all over eric the midget wet powerchair

[lindapittsburgh]

This first call was a good one I think...

[juicebox83]

Howard: "All you gotta do is get a little stank on your hang-low... you'll forget all about kelly clarkson."

ETM: "mmm...no."

hey now.

[CrashHD]

Howard - "You're in love with kelly clarkson of american idol?"

ETM - .Yes.

Says it all

[MrDorkusMcDorky]

Nice. I loved this little monster forever, but finally seeing a pic of him makes me love him even more. In this first call he says he'd like to get into show biz and mentions he'd like to sing. Howard should yank this call and try to get Eric in the studio to sing that lame song someone recently wrote for Beth.

[3SANDTREES]

nice post man

[whiteyonwelfare]

"im 3'5"--"We have to get you down here"

[Crosbymook]

I love this and the original "HELLO GAARY"

[jimmyl324]

You're a guy????

[OneWayTV]

howard is a total genius - this interview is another on the list of countless brilliant interviews he has done totally impromptu

[heavytrafficNYC]

WET POWER CHAIR!

[haitek]

holy cow! classic eric!

thanks for posting this

[FunBoxBoards]

Are you shorter than Mini-Me? LMAO

[flnyguy27]

haha howard is a genius..5 seconds in he knew he had to get Eric in the studio

[blkescalade]

i met this little scrub in the bay area

[Disciple1000]

He did'nt even say "Thank you" for a $500.00 gift until Howard said something. He's a ungrateful, evil little jackass! He will call Howard again because he craves the attention and nobody is calling him.

[KodeBloo]

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO....

You know what to do!

[TsumiAM91]

Lol the Johnny Fratto thing

[Gerkinstock]

The picture of him at Wikipedia could give a small child nightmares for years to come. ETM is evil to the core.

[mccannisdown]

His name's Jerry...

[cardamone1212]

hahahaha

[LAL4LIFE1]

he'll call back in a couple weeks..

[lab981]

I can't believe this ho Howard said "equidistant".

[ThongBunz2]

hey, he graduated magna cum laude from boston university, a good school...
