[00:00:00] Ladies and gentlemen!
[00:00:02] Howard Stern Radio Show!
[00:00:04] The Howard Stern Radio Show gives you more of what you want.
[00:00:08] Take your shirt off.
[00:00:09] This is such a good show.
[00:00:10] Oh! More guests.
[00:00:11] Did you kiss her the first date?
[00:00:12] Uh, no, I actually didn't.
[00:00:13] I would have gone for at least third base.
[00:00:15] More surprises.
[00:00:16] You know that I'm gay.
[00:00:17] I know.
[00:00:18] And more laughs.
[00:00:19] Aren't you in fact guilty of looking at your sister sexually?
[00:00:22] I am guilty.
[00:00:24] Howard Stern Radio Show
[00:00:26] Tonight at 11.30 on CBS 2
[00:00:30] He's always original.
[00:00:32] I think things could get out of hand.
[00:00:37] Let me see, show me now.
[00:00:38] And now he's always on at 11 PM and 2 AM.
[00:00:51] Perfect television programming.
[00:00:53] I know what I'm doing.
[00:00:54] The Howard Stern Show.
[00:00:56] Coming up next only on E.
[00:01:02] Mr. Squishy is at 5.
[00:01:31] It's a
[00:01:45] We've gone back and forth talking about all these different comedy
[00:01:48] groups, all these different just heated topics.
[00:01:51] And here we are.
[00:01:52] Tom, are you here?
[00:01:54] I am here.
[00:01:56] Get to the job.
[00:01:59] Now.
[00:02:00] Ken and Oreo are back in the studio.
[00:02:03] Welcome.
[00:02:06] This is an interesting topic.
[00:02:08] I know we can kill it in two hours.
[00:02:10] I know we're all kind of anticipating everything, but like
[00:02:12] this is a freaking weird ass topic.
[00:02:14] I was looking forward to it.
[00:02:16] James reminded me of it.
[00:02:17] And then I was like, yeah, well,
[00:02:19] we'll put this on the docket one way or another.
[00:02:21] Just because we love talking about shock values,
[00:02:24] edgy comedians and everything, but.
[00:02:27] This is just hysterical because Mr.
[00:02:29] Stern's name will come up anywhere from famous radio
[00:02:33] host,
[00:02:33] shock jocks to.
[00:02:36] Infamous interviews like magic Johnson to
[00:02:38] porn star interviews to prank calls.
[00:02:41] And I have lost track of how many times when people bring
[00:02:45] up his name,
[00:02:46] I will get often kind of a half praise like reception.
[00:02:51] Like I will see someone say, ah, it's a little too gross for
[00:02:54] me, but he's a great interviewer and then like.
[00:02:57] I'm a Don I was never talks about Don Adams or
[00:03:00] Don Adams.
[00:03:01] No, no, no, not Don Adams.
[00:03:03] Don I was remember me.
[00:03:06] Yeah, that's me.
[00:03:07] We got our own.
[00:03:08] We weren't so bad.
[00:03:11] We wouldn't be so good.
[00:03:12] We're not so bad.
[00:03:13] We wouldn't super good.
[00:03:14] And I think that is the best way to start like he wouldn't
[00:03:17] be on here if no one was listening.
[00:03:19] It is just so funny.
[00:03:21] This is George decay, the announcer for the Howard
[00:03:25] Stern show.
[00:03:27] It is Monday, January 9th in the year of our Lord 2006.
[00:03:32] And welcome to the first Howard Stern show.
[00:03:36] Thank God those annoying heartbeats are finally off the
[00:03:40] channel.
[00:03:41] Hurrah.
[00:03:43] I think most of us we can say we're not really more than
[00:03:45] downy junior or Jerry Springer kind of guys and yet
[00:03:49] somehow Howard with a similar kind of shocking value seems
[00:03:53] different from that.
[00:03:55] The thing I always said about Howard was when you got
[00:03:58] to think when you think about it, right?
[00:04:00] Like when we were growing up and anybody here remembers
[00:04:04] DJs were kind of like guys who spun the records.
[00:04:07] Yeah, they didn't do a lot of talking.
[00:04:09] They didn't do a lot of talking.
[00:04:10] You weren't allowed to talk.
[00:04:11] You talked you can always talk for about 30 seconds
[00:04:13] before the record was queued up.
[00:04:15] The morning shows were basically, you know, hey,
[00:04:18] welcome to the morning show them.
[00:04:19] You know, they'll do another case and kind of started it.
[00:04:22] I had people behind the scene who works in the
[00:04:25] radio industry.
[00:04:26] He calls them yucksters.
[00:04:28] Yucksters.
[00:04:29] That's a great way to do it.
[00:04:32] Yeah.
[00:04:33] I can do that.
[00:04:34] Oh,
[00:04:40] so getting back to your point.
[00:04:42] I just threw all that shit.
[00:04:45] Well,
[00:04:45] and you were in the black box age.
[00:04:47] You told me off air prior.
[00:04:49] And so it is interesting how he's kind of was a mainstream
[00:04:54] kind of taboo.
[00:04:55] Like people wanted to tune in but not admit we're tuning in.
[00:04:58] Yeah.
[00:04:58] Well, well, that's the thing because before Howard, there was,
[00:05:01] you know,
[00:05:02] Don I'm just because Don I miss was like, like supposedly the,
[00:05:05] like the bad boy. Okay. Yeah.
[00:05:09] You look at the history of the shock jocks.
[00:05:10] There was Don I miss who was working at WN.
[00:05:13] Reagan.
[00:05:14] We had other crap like and Pat Robinson and other stuff that
[00:05:20] you want that makes you want to change the dinner
[00:05:23] conversation.
[00:05:23] Yeah.
[00:05:24] Thanks, Kevin.
[00:05:26] They were guys like that.
[00:05:28] They were guys that came out of the, I'll feel like I'll say this,
[00:05:31] like there were guys that were like,
[00:05:32] like if you think about like the morning shows with whoever said
[00:05:36] the youngsters, that's true because every morning you'd have
[00:05:40] to go in here.
[00:05:41] Let's call McDonald's and say on order 100,
[00:05:43] 100 whoppers, you know,
[00:05:45] miss those days, man.
[00:05:47] It was sick back when nobody hurt back.
[00:05:50] I think this is just a speculation.
[00:05:54] I think when we had more violent stuff like survivor or cheaters
[00:06:00] where people were actually getting hurt.
[00:06:03] I'm just saying that as someone who actually was on cheaters,
[00:06:06] but it was nice.
[00:06:07] I played an asshole who was like a method actor chasing around
[00:06:10] a girlfriend with a samurai sword.
[00:06:13] Yes, you heard that correctly.
[00:06:14] It was easy to have bucks and fucking stupid.
[00:06:17] Yes, God help me and the producers were hysterical because
[00:06:21] long story short, they're like, people believe this shit is real.
[00:06:24] We're not even fucking trying.
[00:06:26] But I think around that time, like the 2000s when people
[00:06:30] actually got hurt, I think that killed the prank call.
[00:06:33] When people are realizing you're wasting our time,
[00:06:36] you don't actually want to order pizza.
[00:06:38] You're just making fart noises or pretending to be
[00:06:40] swore cheater.
[00:06:40] No, no, it's some of the best prank calls I ever heard.
[00:06:44] Yeah, no, I love prank calls.
[00:06:46] I'm just wondering, I love ruined it.
[00:06:48] You know, the great thing about Howard was that he had a guy,
[00:06:52] Captain Janks who would call up the most inoperate.
[00:06:57] At times.
[00:06:59] To do this shit, right?
[00:07:01] Yeah.
[00:07:01] And there was one time I remember when the first trade center
[00:07:06] bombing happened, right?
[00:07:07] Oh, yeah.
[00:07:09] Okay.
[00:07:10] Bill but tell us on the air, right?
[00:07:13] And he goes, he goes, we're speaking with, you know,
[00:07:18] Bubs, he's like, yeah, we believe there was an explosion.
[00:07:21] I'm up here on this 20 on the 37th floor.
[00:07:25] I'm in an elevator and we believe the blast came from
[00:07:28] Howard Stern's ass.
[00:07:31] And Bill B. Tells it what he says, we think we think we
[00:07:35] see the blast came of came from Howard Stern's ass.
[00:07:38] And I just went, I just went, oh fuck.
[00:07:40] I'm in the elevator.
[00:07:40] Thanks, thanks.
[00:07:41] But that was the funny thing about, I mean,
[00:07:43] you got to think the DJs back then where all these guys that
[00:07:48] were told this is how you have to sound.
[00:07:51] You have to modulate. You have to do this.
[00:07:53] You can't talk about this on the air. You can't talk about that.
[00:07:56] You play it.
[00:07:57] So country, right? Cause they're like, we hate content,
[00:08:00] but we love your ratings.
[00:08:01] So how can we argue with this?
[00:08:03] It's, it kind of goes back to when Stephen Bocco was doing
[00:08:05] risky stuff, like, you know, LA law and NYPD blue is like,
[00:08:09] we hate how people are dropping their pants,
[00:08:11] but we love the ratings. So the only compromise we can do is
[00:08:14] this affiliate won't air this program.
[00:08:17] They'll just show a rerun.
[00:08:18] But it's just like, it's kind of like just with TV ratings and
[00:08:22] censorship and everything is like, if he didn't do it,
[00:08:26] someone else was going to come along and do it.
[00:08:28] And half the time he's saying what other people are
[00:08:31] thanking, but afraid to say out loud.
[00:08:33] And other times he's like, well,
[00:08:36] now you really got me morbidly curious.
[00:08:38] I'll just say it cause bucket freedom.
[00:08:41] But the thing was, is that the shock kind of comes from,
[00:08:44] I mean, the whole thing was back in the 60s.
[00:08:48] It was all AM right.
[00:08:51] Yes.
[00:08:51] Wasn't around yet. Okay.
[00:08:53] When FM came along, it was all the kids coming out of
[00:08:57] college that were, and you gotta realize FM radio was more
[00:09:01] freeform back then.
[00:09:03] Absolutely. Now,
[00:09:05] they're working.
[00:09:05] Can't tell it apart. It's AM and FM are just as offensive or
[00:09:09] pretty much the same. It's just like AM is just like,
[00:09:12] if you're in the countryside and just want to hear a Bible study
[00:09:14] or video Disney FM radio mostly was top 40.
[00:09:19] So there we go.
[00:09:21] Now a mixture of professional and college station.
[00:09:25] I remember that shirt.
[00:09:26] Right? Yeah.
[00:09:28] Yeah. They had to stick to a format.
[00:09:30] You couldn't deviate from it.
[00:09:31] Anything like this.
[00:09:33] When the 60s came along and also there was this revolution,
[00:09:36] there was a guy named Tom Donahue.
[00:09:38] Yes.
[00:09:39] Let's go.
[00:09:40] He's the guy that basically.
[00:09:43] Underrated guy who no one talks about now is like,
[00:09:45] yeah, it wasn't that long.
[00:09:47] You should surely know him as much as all your bro.
[00:09:49] He's the father of the father of FM rock radio.
[00:09:53] Yeah.
[00:09:54] So basically he comes along and he's like, all right, listen,
[00:09:56] we're not going to, we're not going to play the top 40.
[00:10:00] That shit goes out the window. You play whatever you want.
[00:10:03] You know, you can play, you know, the 20 minute version of,
[00:10:06] you know, dark star by the grateful dead people will start.
[00:10:11] And he had to think K K S A N I think was his radio station.
[00:10:15] I think you're right.
[00:10:15] I think it was, it was one of those with S and M and then.
[00:10:19] Yeah.
[00:10:19] And what happened was.
[00:10:21] I didn't mean it that way.
[00:10:22] I mean, you know, I'm not going to play the radio.
[00:10:22] No.
[00:10:25] The FM station started to pop up and.
[00:10:28] You know, it was California and New York and New York kind of had a
[00:10:32] little bit more of a gritty edge to it.
[00:10:34] So that's why we had W any W here.
[00:10:37] Which was actually a sister of 1130 W.
[00:10:41] W.
[00:10:41] And I think that while though, too, is like.
[00:10:44] They want again, like throughout this whole chat,
[00:10:47] we're going to continually find is like they want you to be edgy and
[00:10:50] want you to be different,
[00:10:50] but not too much to where they get a complaint from the FCC.
[00:10:53] How do you be edgy? Well, what happened was, you know,
[00:10:56] these stations started to pop up and there were college stations
[00:10:59] too that were popping up on the FM dial.
[00:11:02] So the first time you really hear about edginess is W B.
[00:11:08] A. I played George Carlin's the seven words you can't say on.
[00:11:13] Yeah.
[00:11:14] All right.
[00:11:16] They got they almost got their license pulled.
[00:11:19] They had they did.
[00:11:21] Carlin had to go to the trial.
[00:11:23] And this is years before we had other stuff like in the.
[00:11:27] Oh, this is Dick Tracy and shit was Warren Beatty's latest post
[00:11:30] that so yeah, Warren Beatty owns the rights to Dick Tracy
[00:11:34] and nobody else can make Dick Tracy stuff until 2027.
[00:11:39] That's the public.
[00:11:41] Yes.
[00:11:42] So now he's,
[00:11:43] he's been making sequels of Dick Tracy and having to go to the
[00:11:46] court, go to the courts to make it a legal sequel that he puts
[00:11:51] out to Dick Tracy every so often.
[00:11:54] Wow.
[00:11:54] And I thought that was so fucking funny as all tonight.
[00:11:57] My one friend shares it on his Facebook.
[00:11:59] I was like, wow, petty ass.
[00:12:01] Yeah, I love the fact that nobody really remembers Dick Tracy except
[00:12:05] like, you know, the hardcore comic fans that were like watching.
[00:12:09] Tim Burton Batman who.
[00:12:11] Yeah, to gobble up anything.
[00:12:13] I'm more of a rock and tear guy, but what do I know?
[00:12:16] But no, these are all good interesting things like.
[00:12:20] This predates when.
[00:12:23] The FCC was.
[00:12:25] Like getting in trouble with the military.
[00:12:27] So then they started putting any violent TV show on the spot and
[00:12:31] they were like, Hey, you and the actors and producers,
[00:12:33] you got to come up to this trial and they're like, well,
[00:12:35] I'm not going to that trial. It's a TV show. It's on after eight.
[00:12:38] While your kids watch the show.
[00:12:41] Radio could be radio could be a little more.
[00:12:44] A little bit of a little more freed up.
[00:12:46] It was a little more freed up with FM because eight you remember
[00:12:48] you got to remember a M is still, you know, playing the top
[00:12:50] 40 and all that stuff in the awesome.
[00:12:52] The talk radio starts up, you know, there were guys like Joe
[00:12:56] Pine in California, who was, you know, real right wing.
[00:12:59] He was before Morton Downey Jr.
[00:13:03] Someone crazier than limbo.
[00:13:06] The thing was, was that, you know, FM radio became this big,
[00:13:13] giant, vast land that you could put your feet out in
[00:13:18] and you could say, all right, I'm going to make my claim here.
[00:13:22] And I don't care if I'm working in Cleveland.
[00:13:24] I don't care if I'm working in Buffalo.
[00:13:25] I don't care if I'm working in fricking, you know,
[00:13:27] Rockchester, New York.
[00:13:29] You know, I don't care if I'm working in Detroit and, you know,
[00:13:32] that's where, you know, the black radio station started to come in,
[00:13:35] you know, you know,
[00:13:37] all of a sudden there was this big everybody started to
[00:13:42] jump off and jump, you know, jump off.
[00:13:44] And then what happened was, was that there were DJs that
[00:13:48] were kind of good at doing their material, you know,
[00:13:51] and the first kind of guy I can remember who was,
[00:13:55] who kind of lays the groundwork for everybody is Don Imas.
[00:14:00] I remember Don Imas.
[00:14:02] I don't remember.
[00:14:03] I remember, yeah, Don Imas.
[00:14:05] And I ran out of hair.
[00:14:07] Yep.
[00:14:08] Six forty five.
[00:14:09] It's like Richard Lynch kind of bad guy mixed in with a cowboy.
[00:14:13] He looked like a rat with Roger Dolce's hair.
[00:14:16] He does have Roger Dolce hair.
[00:14:17] Oh my God.
[00:14:18] He looks like shrunken heads you could,
[00:14:20] you could make out of an apple.
[00:14:23] Yeah.
[00:14:24] And the thing what is, is that this is a, this is a true fact.
[00:14:31] Marconi and, yeah, Marconi and Tesla in the morning and who was their follow-up?
[00:14:35] Don Imas.
[00:14:37] I worked Mark.
[00:14:38] If you can't get enough of that.
[00:14:39] I'm going to turn into the next hour.
[00:14:42] Oh Christ.
[00:14:43] I'm going to go a little bit back in,
[00:14:45] back in that timeframe of AM radio.
[00:14:49] Most of the time you're dealing with.
[00:14:51] DJ and personal radio personalities are no spicier than.
[00:14:56] Casey casem and will ban Jack.
[00:14:59] Yeah.
[00:14:59] So we had guys like the real Donnie steel.
[00:15:02] The real Donnie steel.
[00:15:05] Out in Los Angeles you had Jerry Blavlet who was the guider with the
[00:15:09] leader in Philadelphia.
[00:15:11] You had guys here in New York like cousin Bruce.
[00:15:14] You know, Murray decay.
[00:15:16] I'm trying to think who else was there.
[00:15:18] Hi, I'm your morning mayor.
[00:15:20] Who was on, who was on WMCA and then he got moved over to when CBS FM took
[00:15:26] off out here.
[00:15:28] 101.1 which was the oldest station we had.
[00:15:32] And then you had all these,
[00:15:34] and also the guys who were in AM started to get.
[00:15:37] Would it off?
[00:15:37] And they started going FM.
[00:15:40] And you know, you have to realize back then if you ever listen to old
[00:15:42] AM radio.
[00:15:44] They had a reverb on that freaking voice.
[00:15:48] Like they were in a basketball gym or something like that.
[00:15:55] I'm not making my own speech,
[00:15:56] but the speech from pride of the Yankees today.
[00:16:00] Yeah.
[00:16:00] Yeah.
[00:16:01] I deserve myself.
[00:16:03] Hey, let me just turn up the reverb.
[00:16:05] So I sound like I'm louder than everybody else.
[00:16:07] I'm in a basketball gym.
[00:16:09] And that's what's so surreal.
[00:16:10] It is almost kind of like when you saw spoofsters like weird out
[00:16:13] is like they're having to recreate these acoustics and other
[00:16:17] stuff from scratch.
[00:16:19] There's no.
[00:16:20] There's no sampling and then adding their own lyrics.
[00:16:23] They had to recreate it from scratch.
[00:16:25] And then I miss when I miss came along.
[00:16:30] You know, he was, he was doing stuff on there. I was just like,
[00:16:34] I've heard some of his early stuff. It's funny. You know, it's
[00:16:36] funny. Like he had a thing. Mommy, warm baby.
[00:16:39] He commits people. There was a worm, a giant worm attacking
[00:16:42] Cleveland or something like that.
[00:16:44] Um, he had a, he had a,
[00:16:47] he had a guy in Reverend Billy Sal Hargis.
[00:16:51] Who was a, you know, a fake, a fake, uh,
[00:16:56] preacher preacher. Yeah.
[00:16:57] Um, you know, he would just do things on the air.
[00:17:00] They were just so off the wall and then he got older and turned
[00:17:03] it out to be very racist.
[00:17:05] Yeah.
[00:17:06] I don't like anybody who's not white and has my kind of hair.
[00:17:12] I'm not doing my rent.
[00:17:14] Oh, that's good.
[00:17:17] I mean, dude, I mean, dude,
[00:17:20] I was, I was wanting to shit.
[00:17:24] No, it was the, it was the Rutgers basketball team.
[00:17:28] Oh,
[00:17:29] the Rutgers, the one Rutgers wins basketball team.
[00:17:31] Yeah.
[00:17:32] Final four or something like that.
[00:17:34] He's just, I don't like a bunch of nappy headed hoes and I'm like,
[00:17:37] Whoa.
[00:17:40] It's like,
[00:17:42] if you're that stuck up and shit.
[00:17:46] He's trying to be funny and he failed miserably.
[00:17:50] What it was, what it was, was that he, he was like,
[00:17:54] he kind of, he kind of was like staying in one spot and everybody's passing
[00:17:58] by as well.
[00:17:59] And I got my wraps and I got my wife,
[00:18:01] I got my salsa.
[00:18:03] And that's all I need.
[00:18:05] It was like, I got tacos and shit and it's got chili on the side.
[00:18:11] I got my Gherkin.
[00:18:13] I got the other guy here with me.
[00:18:15] 647.
[00:18:16] I am.
[00:18:17] It was the scene.
[00:18:18] I remember that.
[00:18:20] Yes.
[00:18:20] And they didn't try to play off as it was a character that he was playing.
[00:18:24] But I think the typical comedian where it's like, yeah,
[00:18:27] there's like,
[00:18:29] I'm not really racist.
[00:18:32] Right.
[00:18:34] So the,
[00:18:34] in many ways,
[00:18:36] seven that pretty much predates the whole cancel culture thing.
[00:18:40] Or it's like, okay dude,
[00:18:41] we can tell the difference between you went too far versus you're just a piece of shit.
[00:18:46] I'm not racist.
[00:18:47] I just happened to like birth of a nation every couple of years.
[00:18:50] There you go.
[00:18:52] I'm not.
[00:18:55] I'm not.
[00:18:55] Who doesn't look like me.
[00:18:57] Get gunshot.
[00:19:00] I'm not racist.
[00:19:02] I'm not racist.
[00:19:02] No, no, no, no, no, I'm not.
[00:19:03] I just got fired.
[00:19:05] I'm going to be put on W, W NBC at two o'clock in the afternoon morning.
[00:19:10] We, we.
[00:19:11] We've talked about I must her a lot. When does Howard enter the picture?
[00:19:15] And if it were.
[00:19:17] No.
[00:19:20] He's actually in Detroit.
[00:19:22] Yes. Yes. That's her. Okay.
[00:19:24] That's right.
[00:19:25] He's in Detroit.
[00:19:28] And it goes from a rock station to a country station.
[00:19:31] And he talks about, and he's just like, he would say he worked for Roy Disney,
[00:19:35] Roy Disney on the station.
[00:19:37] Wow.
[00:19:37] And worked for him for like five minutes.
[00:19:40] Yeah, there you go.
[00:19:41] Yep.
[00:19:42] He went from there.
[00:19:44] Then he went to DC 101.
[00:19:48] Where he basically was.
[00:19:50] He, he, you know, he brought.
[00:19:52] He met Fred. He met.
[00:19:55] You know, Robin was brought in.
[00:19:57] Let me just say I to prep for this, I resold the autobiography,
[00:20:02] private parts.
[00:20:04] I cannot.
[00:20:05] And there's a great podcast called it happened in Hollywood and they
[00:20:10] interviewed Benny Thomas on the making of that.
[00:20:11] And she said, she can't believe she got good performances out of Fred
[00:20:15] and Robin because like, you know, they had no acting experience
[00:20:18] prior and, but she would never know.
[00:20:20] She just got them all comfortable.
[00:20:22] But in between takes, there was no shortage of just joking and talking.
[00:20:28] She's like, I don't know where this endless energy is coming from,
[00:20:31] but I got to utilize it.
[00:20:32] It's very cinematic.
[00:20:35] You want to be a disjointed very much so.
[00:20:39] What are you an idiot?
[00:20:41] How old you stink?
[00:20:44] You're a somewhat abnormal person with a somewhat abnormal job.
[00:20:46] He was offensive.
[00:20:48] Disgraceful. We should be taking off the air.
[00:20:49] He was obnoxious.
[00:20:51] I'm going to have sex with you right now over the regular.
[00:20:53] I want you to straddle this video.
[00:20:55] He was disgusting.
[00:20:56] I thought you were going to control this guy.
[00:20:57] You want me to go on?
[00:20:59] A woman had an orgasm.
[00:21:00] He had the air.
[00:21:01] This is the best sex I've ever had.
[00:21:03] They tried to shut him up.
[00:21:04] You want to tame him?
[00:21:06] Did you say testicles on the air?
[00:21:08] Oh yes.
[00:21:10] Switch him off.
[00:21:11] Oh my God, she has swallowed an entire 13 inch kill bossa.
[00:21:15] You've got to love that boat.
[00:21:17] Your husband's quite a character.
[00:21:18] Just an end.
[00:21:19] And tune him out.
[00:21:20] Don't sing along with the music.
[00:21:23] No jokes dealing with latch-a-lens.
[00:21:26] I refuse to work with this man one minute longer.
[00:21:30] I want to beat these guys.
[00:21:31] The only way to do that is to stay on the air.
[00:21:33] You are the man-tied fight.
[00:21:35] You're fired.
[00:21:35] You're fired.
[00:21:37] You're fired.
[00:21:38] This is good.
[00:21:39] Private parts.
[00:21:41] The true story of a man with big dreams.
[00:21:43] We are gathered here today in praise of me.
[00:21:47] Howard's on DC 101.1 and there was a plane that took off from,
[00:21:54] I think, the airport.
[00:21:58] Reagan International.
[00:21:59] Reagan International before Reagan International.
[00:22:01] Look at you go.
[00:22:02] Mr. Tree.
[00:22:04] And it crashed into the Potomac.
[00:22:10] So he called up the air.
[00:22:10] And he said, how much did the ticket from Dulles International
[00:22:13] Airport to the 84th Street Bridge?
[00:22:18] He got, he was like, boom, that's it.
[00:22:22] You're out of here.
[00:22:23] So he already got his, you know, he was,
[00:22:30] New York was taking notes of him.
[00:22:33] He got his severance, went up to New York,
[00:22:35] brought Robin with him, brought, I think brought Fred.
[00:22:37] Yeah, brought Fred.
[00:22:38] And then he met Jackie.
[00:22:41] Yeah.
[00:22:42] And Jackie Martley, there's another one that a lot of people
[00:22:45] forget was a big part of the thing.
[00:22:47] And it's like, he kind of just ghosted them after a while.
[00:22:50] And then went his own way.
[00:22:52] And I always got him mixed up with Richard Christie just
[00:22:54] because they just had that similar stone face.
[00:22:57] What else is in the news, Robin?
[00:22:58] Well, I told you last week about this guy who was accused
[00:23:02] of killing several women and I'll stop that Jackie.
[00:23:07] I mean, Jackie, get a life.
[00:23:08] I just got a fax about Jackie laughing during the news like,
[00:23:12] I got a letter from someone the other day this morning
[00:23:14] of facts.
[00:23:15] I should have said that you should get rid of Jackie.
[00:23:17] The way he laughs is these horrible stories and I don't
[00:23:20] appreciate it and he's a loser.
[00:23:23] Oh, here it is.
[00:23:24] You ready?
[00:23:24] Okay.
[00:23:26] Save your show, Howard.
[00:23:28] Get Jackie the jerk off to quit his dreadful laughing.
[00:23:31] This morning, Howard had to again ask Jackie what he
[00:23:34] finds funny in stories of pain and suffering.
[00:23:38] Howard, how many more years are you going to put up with
[00:23:40] that stupid sidekick Jackie the joke?
[00:23:42] Jokeless.
[00:23:46] You should be paid.
[00:23:47] You should be paid by the state of New York for hiring
[00:23:50] this idiot.
[00:23:51] Great show.
[00:23:52] Signed Larry Amaro.
[00:23:54] Wow.
[00:23:54] No, no, no.
[00:23:55] But really it's a guy from Guy named Tom sent it.
[00:23:58] Fred loves you.
[00:24:00] Jackie actually isn't laughing.
[00:24:01] He's Fred playing the sound effect.
[00:24:03] Please tell people.
[00:24:05] It's the death penalty signed Mario and Paul.
[00:24:06] Yeah.
[00:24:08] Most of the time it isn't Fred.
[00:24:10] You really laugh.
[00:24:12] Go ahead, Ronald.
[00:24:13] You try to tell.
[00:24:14] Try to tell the difference.
[00:24:16] But anyway, this guy is in the state of New York,
[00:24:20] of course, which does not have a death penalty
[00:24:22] and he's been arrested here because...
[00:24:24] There is no evidence that the death penalty will
[00:24:25] Some of his victims are here.
[00:24:27] So I don't think he will be getting the death penalty.
[00:24:29] Probably get what he wants.
[00:24:31] He'll just get to go to a hospital, have a nice little time
[00:24:33] talking about all the things he's done over the years.
[00:24:36] Cuomo is weird with that death penalty.
[00:24:38] It's like, you know, there's no evidence.
[00:24:40] There is no evidence at this time that the death penalty will work.
[00:24:43] I don't care where the work is or not.
[00:24:44] It works on one person.
[00:24:45] Yeah, who needs evidence?
[00:24:47] Who are you punishing?
[00:24:49] Put him in a cell with Larry Amaro.
[00:24:51] Oh, man.
[00:24:53] Oh, let's measure.
[00:24:55] Maybe he'll get so disgusted he'll beat himself to death.
[00:24:58] Right.
[00:24:59] Cuomo.
[00:25:00] You can tell the difference because Jackie's more reserved
[00:25:03] while Richard is always doing things and half-naked.
[00:25:07] Yeah.
[00:25:08] Yeah.
[00:25:09] That's the thing.
[00:25:10] If you...
[00:25:11] He's been heard about the Irish guy who couldn't come.
[00:25:14] Yeah, he's been heard about the Irish guy who couldn't come.
[00:25:16] Yeah, he's been heard about the Irish guy who couldn't come.
[00:25:16] Oh, there's Richard Christie.
[00:25:19] He has the world's biggest porn collection ever.
[00:25:22] Yeah, really do.
[00:25:23] Yeah, really do.
[00:25:25] If you...
[00:25:26] Richard Christie or the newest addition to our staff
[00:25:28] interviewed George Takay.
[00:25:30] Oh, yeah?
[00:25:31] Yeah.
[00:25:31] Pretty interesting interview.
[00:25:33] Hi.
[00:25:34] Hello, I'm Richard Christie.
[00:25:36] Good to meet you.
[00:25:37] I'm George Takay.
[00:25:38] Okay, George, I understand you have an exclusive story
[00:25:41] of abuse from a motion picture makeup artist.
[00:25:44] Please tell us the story.
[00:25:45] He pinched my wang and frowned.
[00:25:47] He silently regarded my wang
[00:25:49] as if it were some insensitive lump of flesh.
[00:25:52] I understand that more than one person was involved.
[00:25:56] Then he called in an assistant.
[00:25:58] A hulking man came in.
[00:26:00] Al, can you hold this wang while I dap it with the latex?
[00:26:04] He asked, pointing to my wang.
[00:26:06] With pleasure, replied the hulking man.
[00:26:09] Yes, go on.
[00:26:11] George proceeded to dab the latex
[00:26:13] on the now agonizingly smooth wang.
[00:26:16] As the latex cried,
[00:26:18] I felt my wang begin to contract even tighter.
[00:26:22] I see.
[00:26:24] Listen to the Stern Show pre-2000s.
[00:26:26] You have at least one buddy who you will talk in Jackie voice
[00:26:29] to every now and again.
[00:26:30] Oh, yeah.
[00:26:31] Yeah.
[00:26:32] I would do Jackie with my friends will be so stoned up.
[00:26:38] They're like, hey, it's me.
[00:26:40] Jackie, whoo-hoo, look, you got any weed, any beer?
[00:26:45] I'll get stoned.
[00:26:47] I'll get stoned.
[00:26:48] You know, we wouldn't do the Jackie voice.
[00:26:50] We do the Jackie voice.
[00:26:51] Pretty much the right hand.
[00:26:52] Anything no one else is willing to go all the way.
[00:26:55] He's going to go all the way.
[00:26:57] Well, I still can't believe he approved him for a fucking series.
[00:27:01] Well, that's his debt.
[00:27:03] Yeah.
[00:27:03] It was an NBC universal channel and they're like, hey,
[00:27:05] we could use some of your bullshit.
[00:27:06] Let's hang on on 9605.
[00:27:10] Let's.
[00:27:10] The thing was Howard goes to 60s.
[00:27:13] Goes to WNBC.
[00:27:15] Yes.
[00:27:15] Now they already have.
[00:27:17] Inus.
[00:27:18] They're going to get stern. Now they've got like the twin towers.
[00:27:21] I don't mean to use that euphemism, but.
[00:27:23] They got like the final solution.
[00:27:27] The final solution.
[00:27:27] I like.
[00:27:30] I don't see anything wrong with that.
[00:27:34] So they've got, they've got him.
[00:27:36] They've got, I'm a state that's during the guy Wolfman,
[00:27:38] Jack and soupy sales, right?
[00:27:40] Yeah.
[00:27:42] Stern is being told by it.
[00:27:44] I'm going to say, if you watch private parts,
[00:27:46] he's being told by the manager. Okay.
[00:27:49] I want you to say WNBC.
[00:27:51] He's like, look, I'm going to say WNBC. He's like, no, no.
[00:27:55] You'll see WNBC and they were hyping this.
[00:27:58] They were hyping that they have.
[00:27:59] Howard and they got I miss.
[00:28:02] And I miss was not happy that Howard was there.
[00:28:06] They kind of played it all the other.
[00:28:07] Oh, you know, right.
[00:28:09] If you ever read about it, I miss didn't like Howard.
[00:28:12] He felt like he was being intruded upon.
[00:28:15] If my thunder.
[00:28:18] He was the king of the, he was the king of the fucking castle.
[00:28:21] And here comes this upstart.
[00:28:23] We're going to, we're going to meet under here.
[00:28:25] My cry.
[00:28:27] And remember boys and girls.
[00:28:29] When Howard takes over, there's going to be two upstress from Boston
[00:28:32] who are going to come down and take over for him.
[00:28:38] You want me to go through some of the stuff real fast?
[00:28:40] Oh, yeah.
[00:28:43] I'll sum it up as much as I can.
[00:28:45] But so again, you know, you got right hand Robin Quivers.
[00:28:52] You got sound effects and puppeteer and Fred Norris.
[00:28:57] And then you got, you know, main producer, Deliante,
[00:29:02] who after his flood becomes, you know, Baba Buwi.
[00:29:06] Gary Goose, can I buy Baba Buwi?
[00:29:08] We don't have that.
[00:29:09] Baba Buwi.
[00:29:11] Baba Buwi.
[00:29:13] And then stockbroker, Sal Gov.
[00:29:17] Okay.
[00:29:18] It's a one professional breeding kid.
[00:29:20] It contains two holdin' vices for the female hens.
[00:29:23] And it has one straddle for the male cock,
[00:29:26] which includes a cock ring.
[00:29:28] And the cock ring is made of stainless steel.
[00:29:31] It's placed around the cock to hold the cock in place
[00:29:33] while the female is placed in position.
[00:29:35] It comes along much later, though.
[00:29:37] Much later.
[00:29:38] Yeah, I'm just doing an overview.
[00:29:41] Driver and bodyguard Ronnie.
[00:29:43] Scores man.
[00:29:44] Scores man.
[00:29:46] I'll give you an overview of some of the many recurring guest
[00:29:49] contributors you got.
[00:29:50] Reakin', you know, Gilbert Godfrey.
[00:29:52] And then you would know what pain means.
[00:29:55] Oh, that feels good.
[00:29:57] I'm sick of my horse, kiddo.
[00:30:00] Right now, I command you,
[00:30:03] stand in to my eyes and lift my horse, kiddo.
[00:30:08] I gotta go with Artie Lang, though.
[00:30:09] Come on.
[00:30:10] Artie Lang, yes.
[00:30:11] I'm getting there.
[00:30:12] The greatest guy to have in the news was Gilbert.
[00:30:15] Oh, Gilbert's the best.
[00:30:17] Silver Silverman, Adam Corolla, George D'Acai,
[00:30:21] Sam Kenneson,
[00:30:23] and, well, Mitch Hamburg, Richard Simmons.
[00:30:26] I'm not surprised about Dave, though,
[00:30:27] because they were the comedy club in New York.
[00:30:31] Yeah, bingo.
[00:30:32] Jimmy Kimmel.
[00:30:33] Let's not talk about them.
[00:30:35] Let's talk more about me, George D'Acai.
[00:30:37] George D'Acai.
[00:30:38] Oh, my.
[00:30:39] Oh, my.
[00:30:40] Jim Brewer and our favorite, Norm MacDonald.
[00:30:45] You didn't write this?
[00:30:45] No, sir.
[00:30:46] It's what they call a street joke.
[00:30:48] Good.
[00:30:48] But my dad would always tell this joke.
[00:30:50] It was about a little boy called Dirty Johnny,
[00:30:53] you know, and he'd be in class.
[00:30:54] He ever heard Dirty Johnny?
[00:30:55] Dirty Johnny jokes, yes.
[00:30:57] I've heard the whole series.
[00:30:57] And this, and this, and this joke, he's not dirty.
[00:31:01] I think that's Tracy Morgan there as well.
[00:31:03] Tom, you'll love this for a while in the aughts.
[00:31:07] They had Josh Robert Thompson who does the skeleton.
[00:31:09] Yes.
[00:31:10] And oh, yes.
[00:31:11] On Craig Ferguson.
[00:31:13] And yeah, they would bring him in to do a
[00:31:15] Schwarzenegger prank calls and they had to stop because
[00:31:18] people actually thought it was the actual governor at the
[00:31:22] time asking people, you know, why their fly is down or why
[00:31:25] they, you know, won't see him and Maria.
[00:31:27] Why is your flight down?
[00:31:32] And so Josh is like, my God, I'm just choking around.
[00:31:36] I don't want to blow up the moon.
[00:31:38] I know it's not made of cheese.
[00:31:40] I'm not actually.
[00:31:40] You forgot a major contributor in that.
[00:31:44] Sure, I did.
[00:31:45] The core lineup was when they were,
[00:31:47] when it was like 90 to.
[00:31:50] When Jackie left in 2001, it was Fred, Jackie, Howard Robin and
[00:31:56] Billy West.
[00:31:57] Billy West.
[00:31:58] Yes.
[00:31:59] I'm good old.
[00:31:59] I'm a voice over.
[00:32:01] Someone else were forgetting to.
[00:32:03] I know.
[00:32:04] No, no, not Beal juice.
[00:32:06] He's great, but the show.
[00:32:09] John Melendez.
[00:32:11] That's the.
[00:32:12] John.
[00:32:13] John.
[00:32:14] Yes.
[00:32:14] I'm just going to say.
[00:32:15] Fun fact, he was Conan O'Brien's first interviewer.
[00:32:20] Like when Conan was starting up his show,
[00:32:23] Stunning John was sent out there to basically sabotage him,
[00:32:26] make him look like shit.
[00:32:28] And basically is this like, he just has them just random stuff.
[00:32:32] Like, hey, you know,
[00:32:33] why are you the youngest late night talk show host and
[00:32:36] Conan's pretty much plays ball and he realizes, oh,
[00:32:39] he doesn't actually want to know anything about me.
[00:32:42] So he's just like, Oh, you serve a mistake.
[00:32:46] He go up to people and ask them the silly stuff.
[00:32:49] Like what, what, what, what, why, why do they,
[00:32:51] like you would start right?
[00:32:53] So you're like, right.
[00:32:54] So it makes you.
[00:32:55] Why do they tell, why do they,
[00:32:57] why do you think they give a Asian people eye color on the
[00:33:03] driver's license?
[00:33:04] All right.
[00:33:05] And it's kind of a precursor to J walking in a way.
[00:33:08] What is J walking, but right, right.
[00:33:10] But like, then he's funny.
[00:33:12] He's like, I don't know how to respond to a guy who's, you know,
[00:33:18] being suddenly racist and so common.
[00:33:22] But I think the thing that cracked it the most was the night
[00:33:24] he got into a fight with Morton Downey Jr.
[00:33:28] Okay. This is okay. So, so, okay.
[00:33:31] So Howard goes to NBC, right?
[00:33:33] He gets fired.
[00:33:37] For no reason.
[00:33:38] They think, I think I just had something to do with it.
[00:33:41] Probably.
[00:33:42] And somebody said they probably did.
[00:33:45] And there was a guy, so then he's basically without a contract
[00:33:47] where I think maybe six months to a year.
[00:33:51] It was a hard at K rock.
[00:33:53] Yeah.
[00:33:54] K rock is this fledgling station that's trying to compete with
[00:33:58] W any W FM.
[00:34:00] One or 2.7.
[00:34:01] The morning shows are, you know, the morning zoo.
[00:34:08] WPLJ, which is no longer around anymore.
[00:34:11] You know, you've got one or 2.7 you've got, you know, you know,
[00:34:14] Harry, Harrison on 101.1.
[00:34:16] How are we going to come from FM and the guy who's the guy
[00:34:20] who's I think the GM's going look do whatever the fuck you
[00:34:23] want.
[00:34:23] I don't care.
[00:34:24] See what you have for you.
[00:34:26] Just don't square.
[00:34:28] Just do what you want to do.
[00:34:29] And basically, he basically goes from.
[00:34:33] He takes his flagellation station WXRK and pops it up to number one.
[00:34:39] Okay.
[00:34:42] WNBC looks like a bunch of jackasses.
[00:34:45] Yeah.
[00:34:47] For firing him.
[00:34:48] Word.
[00:34:50] You know, and whatever you don't want will take.
[00:34:55] He started to have feuds with guys that were in other,
[00:34:59] other 10 other cities.
[00:35:01] Right.
[00:35:02] John DeBella the zookeeper down in Philadelphia.
[00:35:07] He took him on.
[00:35:09] He beat John DeBella in the ring.
[00:35:11] She said, if I beat John DeBella, the zookeeper,
[00:35:14] I'm going to have a public funeral for him.
[00:35:16] And this is years before Howard, you know,
[00:35:19] runs as an independent candidate and just as all of
[00:35:23] his other sorts of stuff, like he just had.
[00:35:26] I think this gave him the fearlessness he needed right then and
[00:35:30] there. And it was just like, Hey,
[00:35:33] it's just the power of radio.
[00:35:34] You guys have taken us way too seriously.
[00:35:37] I'm making it my business.
[00:35:40] Yeah.
[00:35:41] After he took over in Philadelphia, it was, you know,
[00:35:45] it was off to the races.
[00:35:46] By the way, that was around 86.
[00:35:48] I saw on the historical events.
[00:35:50] Yeah.
[00:35:51] So, yeah, but it's just so wild how he's in states where you
[00:35:56] don't think they would even want to allow that kind of rowdy kind
[00:35:59] of chats and everybody played ball.
[00:36:01] They're like, Hey, well, we'll just air him at a later time.
[00:36:04] That's all we can do.
[00:36:06] Well, hey, we'll put him on it early in the morning.
[00:36:09] Early in the morning.
[00:36:11] It sounded like Denny Crain there.
[00:36:13] Good morning.
[00:36:15] I first started listening to Howard in high school.
[00:36:18] It was right around the time the private parts book came out.
[00:36:22] He was on the Boston rock station,
[00:36:25] but they show was on at night.
[00:36:27] It would start at six at night and run until 10 o'clock.
[00:36:31] Wait, WBCN.
[00:36:33] WBCN in Boston.
[00:36:35] Because I know two guys who were from that station who got,
[00:36:39] who got popular after they left.
[00:36:42] I don't know.
[00:36:43] He was on BCN.
[00:36:45] I remember he was on YSP in Philadelphia.
[00:36:48] And the home base was WXRK.
[00:36:52] He wasn't going to leave there, you know,
[00:36:55] but I started listening to him.
[00:36:58] When he had the who said they were listening to him in high
[00:37:01] school and private parts came out.
[00:37:03] Okay.
[00:37:05] So I was listening to him.
[00:37:06] I was listening to him in 90.
[00:37:10] When he had the Howard Stern summer show and WWR.
[00:37:14] Excellent.
[00:37:15] Which was the first, like the first time I watched it.
[00:37:19] I fell on the, I was on the floor convulsing with laughter.
[00:37:24] He had Jessica Hanon. Right.
[00:37:26] Yeah.
[00:37:26] The recurring prank call gal. Yeah.
[00:37:29] No, no, no, no. She was like Jim Baker.
[00:37:32] Right, right.
[00:37:32] She would call in once in a while also just say,
[00:37:36] I'm going to go and sit in the car.
[00:37:36] Okay, look what I found.
[00:37:38] What do you find?
[00:37:39] She told everybody Sam Kinnison stayed at her house and he
[00:37:42] went to the bathroom on her floor.
[00:37:47] So, so what happened was, was that.
[00:37:49] He has, he has this,
[00:37:51] he has.
[00:37:54] Her on and she says there's.
[00:37:56] No, we have a list of all these people who slept with you.
[00:37:58] And you see on the belt, like the Morban tab,
[00:37:59] when that will acquire.
[00:38:00] The Harlem Globe Trotters.
[00:38:02] And she says, we brought a guy here.
[00:38:05] Oh, sure.
[00:38:06] Rick D, but Duke D, but no, or something like that.
[00:38:09] It was this guy, this guy.
[00:38:10] I think I remember.
[00:38:12] He came in.
[00:38:13] Yeah.
[00:38:14] The elephant boy.
[00:38:15] All those guys were there on there.
[00:38:17] The elephant boy had the speech and panel where he couldn't,
[00:38:19] like he didn't, he didn't have a clear voice.
[00:38:21] He done like that.
[00:38:23] So he'd be like one time she went baby, didn't me?
[00:38:26] And she put her hand down my pants and made me very happy.
[00:38:31] So that's going to, then he has this one guy coming Fred,
[00:38:35] Ted, the janitor, Ted, the janitor.
[00:38:39] He says, did you make love to go?
[00:38:41] Yeah, I may love to all the time.
[00:38:43] What happens is you won't play road.
[00:38:45] What's that?
[00:38:46] You lay down on a black top on you.
[00:38:48] Um,
[00:38:49] this is before they get Beal Jews on the whack pack.
[00:38:52] And there was like,
[00:38:52] he kind of carried a lot of that same just like,
[00:38:55] Oh, do you hear yourself?
[00:38:56] Do you hear yourself?
[00:38:58] And there was nothing like that in 1990.
[00:39:02] No.
[00:39:03] You can't, it's kind of was weird.
[00:39:05] It's like anything else similar to this,
[00:39:07] you would kind of turn off.
[00:39:09] You found it in bad taste and somehow.
[00:39:11] I guess just that they were in on the joke.
[00:39:14] Well, it just was morbid curiosity mixed with just a
[00:39:17] hysterical like train wreck.
[00:39:19] You're just like, what's going on here?
[00:39:20] What are they doing?
[00:39:21] Watch one of the early shows.
[00:39:23] He had, he had lesbian dial a date.
[00:39:26] We had lesbian dating, lesbian dating game on, right?
[00:39:29] There's that.
[00:39:30] Yeah.
[00:39:30] The girl he introduces is from Popton Lake, New Jersey.
[00:39:33] She went to school with my boss's wife.
[00:39:36] At the time.
[00:39:38] If you watch.
[00:39:40] Yeah.
[00:39:41] My boss's wife says to us, dude, do you know,
[00:39:44] show and so she's like, he's like, yeah.
[00:39:46] She went to school.
[00:39:47] He was like, dude,
[00:39:47] she was on like Howard Stern show last night on lesbian dial a date.
[00:39:51] Or lesbian dating.
[00:39:52] And he's like, what?
[00:39:54] I'm like, yeah, I'm not shitting you.
[00:39:56] So, so he tells his wife this and his wife goes, you know,
[00:40:00] I always wonder why she was looking at funny me at funny in high
[00:40:03] school.
[00:40:04] Oh my God.
[00:40:06] You know, man, I mean, he had people on that show.
[00:40:09] Gary and Wendy and.
[00:40:11] Oh, no, Gary and Wendy weren't on yet.
[00:40:14] Yeah.
[00:40:14] Yeah.
[00:40:14] I mean, I'm not sure if you're going to get it.
[00:40:14] This is later, but I'm just circling around and there was high
[00:40:16] pitch Eric and.
[00:40:19] We talked.
[00:40:22] Then there was the KKK guy who, you know,
[00:40:25] Daniel Carver and it's a,
[00:40:28] it was kind of a precursor because you would see Conan and
[00:40:30] Letterman kind of do similar stuff where they invite celebs on
[00:40:33] to basically kind of roast them without them while they were
[00:40:36] oblivious, but that was ballsy to take a hateful piece of
[00:40:40] shit and then just, you know, it is like, you know,
[00:40:43] just bring him in and you're like, he is so fucking stupid.
[00:40:47] And he doesn't even realize we're talking shit about him.
[00:40:49] That's how stupid he is.
[00:40:51] We'll return after these messages.

[00:42:34] Stern's done pretty good for himself in a post, you know
[00:42:36] internet kind of troll era but like one favorite of mine
[00:42:40] this was also one of my father's kind of favorites.
[00:42:42] I think they even can't the whack pack even came out with
[00:42:45] a radio CD one at one point like of all the various cover
[00:42:50] songs they had done but my dad he and his college friends
[00:42:56] who many who I am family pals with and Des Moines like
[00:43:01] they loved making fun of various radio hits like but
[00:43:04] bastardizing the lyrics kind of like they would always do it
[00:43:09] with the police's or Sting's you know there's a little
[00:43:14] black spot and my oh yeah where like they would just do
[00:43:18] stuff like that and one favorite of his that Howard did
[00:43:22] was they did a cover of the Rolling Stones you know
[00:43:25] Beast of Burden and they they redid it as don't ever leave
[00:43:30] your pizzas burning.
[00:43:33] Yeah, it was one of those like that's your comedy and now
[00:43:38] that you sung it that way I will never hear that ever this
[00:43:41] way it's meant to be heard again. Thank you.
[00:43:43] He had a he had a thing that came on came out in the 90s
[00:43:48] called crucified by the FCC.
[00:43:51] Oh yes.
[00:43:52] He did something on there.
[00:43:55] The secret life of Rock Hudson.
[00:43:58] Oh, he's like he's like oh oh I love your eyes and your
[00:44:03] shoulders and everything else right are you looking at me
[00:44:06] no silly I'm looking at the camera man.
[00:44:10] I heard that it were oh that's fucking hilarious you know
[00:44:14] right talking about his a state probably didn't want to
[00:44:18] know when they would have Billy West on that show.
[00:44:22] Yeah, go.
[00:44:24] That was the best because I remember smart charismatic dude and
[00:44:28] to see him on there I think I think he was one of many guys
[00:44:32] especially with already kind of reminded people saying hey
[00:44:36] you're a comedian get your ass over here and hang out with
[00:44:38] these guys though.
[00:44:39] They'll throw you for a loop but you'll get to do some of your
[00:44:42] best comedic bits on here.
[00:44:44] And the stuff they did I mean with him and then with
[00:44:48] Jack playing Jackie's laugh at the most inopportune times
[00:44:51] like during a very bad huge and not help himself.
[00:44:54] It almost kind of first is almost kind of like with
[00:44:58] Tim Conway and Harvey Foreman doing pranks on each
[00:45:00] other and Mary Tyler Moore like everybody is just like
[00:45:03] they are playing pranks to the max was like I wouldn't
[00:45:07] be going to go up.
[00:45:09] What happens if I love Lucy Holy shit.
[00:45:13] The episode where she baked the bread that's actually a
[00:45:17] whole real loaf of bread.
[00:45:19] And the audience in cast eat it all.
[00:45:23] They didn't realize it but yeah.
[00:45:27] The thing that got me was.
[00:45:29] Oh God.
[00:45:29] I'm sorry.
[00:45:30] What do you got?
[00:45:31] What got you.
[00:45:32] The thing that got me was it was how loose it was and how
[00:45:35] they could jump from like the fluidity of one subject to
[00:45:38] another and then they would be like anyone else would have
[00:45:40] been in confusing and they were somehow going to go to
[00:45:43] one to the next one to the next kind of before.
[00:45:47] Was a D.
[00:45:50] It's kind of the appeal of the stern show it's almost
[00:45:52] like the circus and that you know you have a farting
[00:45:55] over here or then he the next segment he's interviewing
[00:45:58] the mayor of I don't know like like New York City.
[00:46:01] Then they do prank calls and you know the next bit.
[00:46:06] Well, if it's something for everyone and he and he still
[00:46:10] repackages a lot of these things that there's
[00:46:13] he's repackaged even as a podcast of his greatest hits
[00:46:16] and there's a historical one by George to Kai where he
[00:46:18] calls into a baseball stadium.
[00:46:21] The baseball DJs like who are you know I've never watched
[00:46:25] Star Trek what what what what what would he talking about
[00:46:28] you or are you even here at the game while you're telling
[00:46:31] me I did a bad job coaching what the fuck.
[00:46:33] My favorite was when they would have the news come on
[00:46:36] and Gilbert would show up.
[00:46:37] Yeah, and you know that Gilbert was going to do and
[00:46:41] there was one time they had Gilbert come in as Count
[00:46:44] Dracula if you've ever seen their act like so.
[00:46:47] Yeah, Dracula Godfrey.
[00:46:49] I am the undead.
[00:46:52] Well this is exciting to see Dracula Godfrey.
[00:46:56] Very exciting.
[00:46:58] Will Dracula Godfrey to be appearing anywhere soon?
[00:47:01] Dracula Godfrey will be unmarried with children.
[00:47:05] Oh.
[00:47:06] Coming this Sunday.
[00:47:09] Is that right?
[00:47:10] Yes.
[00:47:11] This Sunday married with children which Christine
[00:47:16] Applegate who I looked at and said take off your
[00:47:21] panties now.
[00:47:22] Did it work?
[00:47:23] And we had sex together.
[00:47:27] Many many times.
[00:47:29] I think somebody drove a wooden stake into your
[00:47:31] material.
[00:47:33] Rob your panties and show me your crew.
[00:47:38] And then they say okay you want to go outside Dracula
[00:47:41] and like interview Black Q about OJs.
[00:47:43] Okay.
[00:47:44] I really don't want to.
[00:47:46] I'll come out and be funny.
[00:47:48] So he goes out there and says do you believe OJ is guilty
[00:47:54] that he killed those people like a vicious animal?
[00:47:58] And the guy says so he wants to talk about are you a
[00:48:01] black man?
[00:48:02] And the guy goes yeah, I am too underneath all this makeup.
[00:48:07] And then he goes do you think OJ is guilty?
[00:48:14] Oh, I didn't listen.
[00:48:16] Really?
[00:48:20] I was just such a fucking classic bit.
[00:48:25] And then he would start doing like Dracula or he would
[00:48:30] do Kingfish from Amos and Andy.
[00:48:32] My favorite was Rabbi Godfrey.
[00:48:34] He would just start doing like Yiddish.
[00:48:38] Fuck me and I shall never.
[00:48:41] Even if no one's seen any of these, they're such comedy
[00:48:48] like urban myths now just because they've been repackaged,
[00:48:53] reshuffled, re-evaluated so many times.
[00:48:56] My wife was on the other side though she would hate when
[00:48:59] Gilbert would come in and they would just beat these bits
[00:49:02] into the ground.
[00:49:03] But I would say that's what's so funny about it.
[00:49:06] Right.
[00:49:07] And like these guys drive each other crazy and someone happened to.
[00:49:10] She was more like Robin.
[00:49:12] She just wanted them to move on.
[00:49:14] And I think that's why Robin kind of made it okay for a
[00:49:17] female audience because half the time she's laughing with
[00:49:19] them and she's going oh my.
[00:49:24] There's one I love when Steven Spielberg's son they were
[00:49:28] talking about Steven Spielberg's son was black.
[00:49:31] That is a boy.
[00:49:31] He's the MK capsule adopter.
[00:49:34] So he goes, he goes, why did you adopt that little Sambo
[00:49:40] Steven?
[00:49:41] What?
[00:49:42] He's saying Rochester.
[00:49:46] I'm trying my part of work and I had to pull.
[00:49:49] I'm like trying not her not to swear.
[00:49:51] Not the crashing car.
[00:49:54] I've been there on the way.
[00:49:56] Like he's just to think that this is now the guy who's kind of
[00:50:00] reserved, you know, he's gone for psychotherapy and now is the
[00:50:03] most you're going to get from him is you look handsome or you
[00:50:06] look beautiful.
[00:50:07] And the thing that the fact that this is the guy who used to
[00:50:10] say if I were.
[00:50:12] Right.
[00:50:13] If I were gay.
[00:50:14] I told me about.
[00:50:18] The fact that this is a guy who used to say go all the
[00:50:21] way and I used to read one of his autobiography books and man
[00:50:25] and same kind of deal.
[00:50:26] Like somehow.
[00:50:28] It's just you kind of know where he's coming from.
[00:50:32] It's just very hard to explain compared to other shocked
[00:50:35] comedians too far.
[00:50:38] He's self-effacing, but he's also has a giant ego.
[00:50:42] He's.
[00:50:42] Yeah, he does.
[00:50:44] He's like everyone.
[00:50:45] He has an ego, but he's also somehow make fun of himself
[00:50:48] somehow.
[00:50:49] We talked also last time we were when we were talking about
[00:50:52] shocking game shows and historical TV bloopers.
[00:50:56] Ken, did you ever see the time where.
[00:50:59] Robin was a surprise guest on celeb millionaire.
[00:51:03] Yes.
[00:51:03] And no one else knew about it except Fred.
[00:51:07] Yep.
[00:51:08] And she's like, I got this.
[00:51:10] I got this in the bank.
[00:51:12] Nope.
[00:51:13] No, I think not so much, but I loved your confidence is like
[00:51:18] I'm not like see that.
[00:51:19] That would be just a fun just shits and giggles to come.
[00:51:22] Remember that because that was.
[00:51:25] I'm trying to think when somebody's celebrities were on at that
[00:51:27] time.
[00:51:27] Oh, I know, but I remember Robin.
[00:51:30] She brought Robin on.
[00:51:31] I remember that because.
[00:51:32] And then they played it the next day.
[00:51:33] Yeah.
[00:51:35] The very next day or so.
[00:51:36] And he's like, so how'd it go?
[00:51:37] And he's like, I don't talk about it.
[00:51:39] Right.
[00:51:41] But it's so funny though.
[00:51:43] I think I'm still having brought up my favorite characters in
[00:51:46] history of the stern show.
[00:51:47] What?
[00:51:48] This is parents.
[00:51:50] Yes.
[00:51:51] Parents.
[00:51:52] I could listen to Howard.
[00:51:54] Exactly.
[00:51:55] I could listen to that all day.
[00:51:57] And what I love is listening to Howard and hear him talking his
[00:52:01] mother's cadence.
[00:52:02] He doesn't even know that he's there, but he's like, now what
[00:52:05] you need to do is you need to get.
[00:52:08] You need to take a shower.
[00:52:10] You need to take this seriously.
[00:52:12] My word talks the same way.
[00:52:14] And explain why he was so.
[00:52:18] He's a lazy bum.
[00:52:20] Right.
[00:52:21] Modulation.
[00:52:23] I want you, I want you to speak into this.
[00:52:26] The green, the green eye will not proper modulation.
[00:52:30] His dad actually, you know, his dad did.
[00:52:32] His dad was a record guy.
[00:52:36] That's why he.
[00:52:37] No, no, no.
[00:52:37] He did tracks for.
[00:52:39] Terry tunes like Tennessee, Tuxedo and all that.
[00:52:42] How would we go into the studio? Right.
[00:52:45] And he's, you guys like Don Adams and Paul freeze and all that.
[00:52:49] No blank.
[00:52:51] What?
[00:52:52] I don't like, I think no.
[00:52:53] He'd see all these guys in there.
[00:52:56] And he'd be like, my, I couldn't believe my father was doing this.
[00:52:59] Here's this guy. I thought he was.
[00:53:00] You know, I don't want to talk about.
[00:53:03] I don't want to talk about my job Howard.
[00:53:04] You know, I said.
[00:53:07] His parents and his father, Ray, I think passed away like Ben passed
[00:53:11] away last.
[00:53:11] Yeah.
[00:53:13] Yeah.
[00:53:13] Yeah.
[00:53:13] And Ray, I think it was almost a hundred. I think.
[00:53:16] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:53:16] So the thing that I was cracked up about was when he'd be like,
[00:53:20] he'd be like,
[00:53:21] He talked about his father when they go out to dinner and be like,
[00:53:24] I don't know if I want, you're going to order the salad.
[00:53:27] Okay.
[00:53:30] I mean, there were things that is,
[00:53:32] but I love when they play the recordings of his father, you know,
[00:53:37] singing like you'll never walk alone.
[00:53:40] And that like broken that was when you walk through a storm.
[00:53:45] Oh, Joe had a pie.
[00:53:48] I used to say so.
[00:53:50] Shut up.
[00:53:51] You know,
[00:53:52] do you feel the United States should be low stay in the United
[00:53:56] Nations?
[00:53:57] I want a serious answer.
[00:53:59] Don't be.
[00:53:59] No.
[00:54:00] Well, I think,
[00:54:01] I think that the United States,
[00:54:03] they should be peace among the countries and you know,
[00:54:06] there shouldn't be any problems.
[00:54:07] And he said,
[00:54:07] we don't want the Japs taken over that.
[00:54:10] I told him not to be stupid. You're moron.
[00:54:13] Yeah. So my God.
[00:54:15] So much of his dad.
[00:54:17] how do you feel about the Rosa Bout football team this year with
[00:54:20] their chances of winning the season?
[00:54:22] You know, just having a good season this year.
[00:54:26] I think he's going to be a great player.
[00:54:27] I love it.
[00:54:27] As a long time fan, I was so happy when he moved to serious.
[00:54:33] I think.
[00:54:34] Yeah.
[00:54:34] Two and a half years or some of the funniest radio that he ever
[00:54:38] did.
[00:54:39] He didn't have to worry about again, you know, the FCC.
[00:54:44] And I mean, he's really gone to town explaining is like,
[00:54:47] hey,
[00:54:47] I'm, I don't want, you know, government interference with
[00:54:51] entertainment, you know.
[00:54:53] And I think, I think when he moved to serious,
[00:54:57] you know, you got to think he, and I hate to say this,
[00:55:01] but he kind of, I mean, from 90 to 98 were those classic
[00:55:08] years where he was, he was on top of his game.
[00:55:12] But in 98,
[00:55:15] I think things start to falter because, you know,
[00:55:19] you got to think Billy West had left three years before.
[00:55:21] The internet got a little crazier.
[00:55:24] He was kind of known more for Jackie was leaving the
[00:55:29] shit Jackie was like leaving and coming back over salary
[00:55:32] disputes.
[00:55:33] Yeah.
[00:55:34] His what, you know, he had a big hit with private parts.
[00:55:38] So then what happened was, was that he became the nerdy
[00:55:41] kid, he went from the nerdy kid making fun of the popular kids.
[00:55:45] And now he was the kid getting invited to all the parties.
[00:55:48] You know what I mean?
[00:55:48] In kind of in a way.
[00:55:50] I think now he's in a safe space where it's very hard to call
[00:55:54] him even the same kind of person now.
[00:55:56] Now he's kind of just a epic interviewer.
[00:56:00] It's hard to believe this is the guy who used to do all
[00:56:03] kinds of skits.
[00:56:04] I don't, I don't.
[00:56:06] He evolved.
[00:56:07] Yeah.
[00:56:07] No, I like there was a, there was no, I'm so happy there
[00:56:11] was no record of what I thought was funny when I was in my, you
[00:56:13] know, teens and early twenties.
[00:56:16] I would not want to see that shit now.
[00:56:18] Oh, no, no.
[00:56:19] That's just it too.
[00:56:21] He's been, I think because of all his sincere honesty, I think
[00:56:24] that's what keeps people coming back.
[00:56:26] And I think he even says to this day is like out of any chat
[00:56:30] that he will never remaster.
[00:56:32] It's going to be something like the magic Johnson interview.
[00:56:34] He's like, yeah, we definitely,
[00:56:36] we definitely had stuff that I'm not proud of.
[00:56:39] Well, he, he, he had, he had the success with private parts,
[00:56:43] you know, it's this loving tribute to his wife and you know,
[00:56:46] two years later they, they get a divorce.
[00:56:49] Yeah.
[00:56:52] Well, that's going on meanwhile, well that's going on.
[00:56:55] Meanwhile, right.
[00:56:59] Back in the hall of justice.
[00:57:00] There's two guys up in Boston.
[00:57:04] Who, who are kind of getting it, you know,
[00:57:10] kind of getting a name for themselves and their big prank is
[00:57:12] they convinced the people of Boston that Mayor Menino
[00:57:17] died in a car crash.
[00:57:19] That's right.
[00:57:20] With a young underage boy in his lap.
[00:57:23] Oh man.
[00:57:24] So far on that.
[00:57:26] And they get fired from WBCN.
[00:57:29] No, it was a ZLX.
[00:57:32] ZLX.
[00:57:35] They get fired from ZLX.
[00:57:39] And the, the, the feelers are being put out for them to either go
[00:57:43] to K rock or to any W now if read it, if you read a certain book
[00:57:48] or words said, I don't want to know they're called opiate Anthony.
[00:57:53] Yes, I was going to say they were opiate Anthony.
[00:57:56] And they were, they hit the ground.
[00:58:01] Running.
[00:58:02] Because they had to get their feelers out first, you know,
[00:58:05] to get them and they were on W. A. W. W. A. W.
[00:58:08] Had not changed their format yet. They were still a rock and roll
[00:58:11] station, but they were the afternoon guys.
[00:58:15] And they had people on that show.
[00:58:18] Comics that, you know, that Howard probably pushed off to
[00:58:21] the side, you know, they were too extreme by even his.
[00:58:25] Yeah.
[00:58:26] Like Jim Norton.
[00:58:28] I wish it.
[00:58:30] Auto and George.
[00:58:33] You know, I remember them having all these comedians on, you know,
[00:58:37] they would do these bits like, you know, Ronald Reagan, you know,
[00:58:40] something they did some of the Ronald Reagan one time that I don't
[00:58:43] even remember what it was, but it was funny.
[00:58:45] Turn over and tear down this wall. Yeah.
[00:58:47] Yeah. I mean, they, and they were, they were very,
[00:58:50] very good at what they're doing.
[00:58:51] So meanwhile, Howard's going through this divorce with his wife,
[00:58:56] Allison, right?
[00:58:57] They get wind of it.
[00:58:59] They basically play Elvis Costello's.
[00:59:03] Allison. Well, Anthony is doing an imitation of Howard having a
[00:59:07] breakdown that morning.
[00:59:10] Oh, God.
[00:59:12] And I think that's what really kind of like said to people.
[00:59:15] Um, yeah, the king doesn't have his clothes on anymore.
[00:59:17] You know, and they started to get more and more listeners.
[00:59:22] And I don't think Howard lost any listeners.
[00:59:25] No, I don't think he did listeners.
[00:59:27] I think he was just having to.
[00:59:30] I mean, he's going through so many different political
[00:59:33] administrations, different eras.
[00:59:35] And I think he's having to kind of.
[00:59:37] Keep playing ball, keep being true to yourself.
[00:59:40] And then after all saying screw it.
[00:59:42] And if there's any regrets, I have,
[00:59:44] it seems like every other person who's worked on the show.
[00:59:46] They've had to come up with a way to make it a little more
[00:59:47] And so.
[00:59:47] Often kind of leaps in an awkward way, like, cause like you say,
[00:59:51] Jackie kind of takes off without warning.
[00:59:53] Richard Belzer kind of.
[00:59:55] Wanted to stop going to the stupid events they were sending him
[00:59:58] to there were so many other guys who were on there who kind of
[01:00:01] just said, yeah, I'm done here.
[01:00:04] Well, like Jackie, Jackie left for money because.
[01:00:08] It was that Billy West left because, you know,
[01:00:13] his contract was up and he was asking.
[01:00:15] He was asked actually like saying, Hey, look, I want to stay,
[01:00:18] but I want to get paid more money.
[01:00:19] I'm working four days a week here.
[01:00:21] I'm doing voiceover work.
[01:00:22] Radio was kind of limited in the budget at that time.
[01:00:26] John Stuttering John left because he was just getting fed up with
[01:00:29] the way he was being treated from what I understand.
[01:00:31] I think there was a bit of that. And I think they had to also
[01:00:34] kind of learn.
[01:00:35] I don't think they were too toxic, but just like any kind of
[01:00:39] radio thing, I think they would go too far to where half the
[01:00:42] time they'd go home angry after.
[01:00:44] You know, yeah, two hours of fun and then that last hour,
[01:00:48] you really shit on me just for a laugh. That's kind of.
[01:00:51] Yeah.
[01:00:52] Oh God.
[01:00:53] Do you know who he is?
[01:00:54] Do you know who he thinks is still his best interview today?
[01:00:58] Who?
[01:00:59] Conan O'Brien.
[01:01:01] He interviewed him very recently.
[01:01:03] I think, I think his best interview I ever heard was him
[01:01:08] interviewing.
[01:01:09] Well, no, his best moment in my opinion was the day 9 11
[01:01:14] happened,
[01:01:15] maybe prematurely, maybe you were ready for it, but you didn't
[01:01:17] want it.
[01:01:18] You were forced into this situation that you had to take
[01:01:21] us all through that day.
[01:01:23] You were on the air and you did.
[01:01:26] And it sort of pre.
[01:01:30] It was an advanced look at where you were going.
[01:01:33] Does that seem like it's possible?
[01:01:35] It was a horrible day.
[01:01:36] I'm sitting there on the air.
[01:01:37] Someone comes in and says, you got to put the TV on while
[01:01:40] I'm on the air.
[01:01:41] I'm live.
[01:01:42] And I didn't have any thoughts of like, you know, I was
[01:01:45] helping anyone through this or whatever.
[01:01:47] I was just again, I was in the moment reacting to what
[01:01:51] I saw and I immediately said to Robin.
[01:01:54] The first plane hit.
[01:01:55] I go, this is an act of terrorism and everyone was kind
[01:01:57] of like, no, no, no, you don't know that.
[01:01:58] You know, it could have been I go to clear day.
[01:02:00] This is an act and then the second plane hits and then
[01:02:02] we're and then everyone in the tri-state area starts
[01:02:05] calling me people who could witness what was going on.
[01:02:08] And suddenly I was real reporters were calling in in
[01:02:12] the sense that people, everyday people who were
[01:02:15] sitting there were able to report on their feelings
[01:02:17] and what was happening.
[01:02:18] And we all shared this together.
[01:02:20] I felt I should just sit there.
[01:02:22] We had already done like a four hour show and I
[01:02:24] we were on the air till then like noon.
[01:02:26] We did an extra two hours, but it didn't occur to me to leave.
[01:02:29] It just seemed like the right place for me that I would be
[01:02:32] the most useful.
[01:02:33] And honestly Conan, I was sitting there in shock.
[01:02:36] I was in shock and I was really fucking angry with
[01:02:39] these goddamn terrorists.
[01:02:40] But what's amazing is that that's a document now.
[01:02:43] I mean, that is a document that and I think it's
[01:02:48] probably one of them for me, one of the more
[01:02:50] compelling documents.
[01:02:51] I can't look at the footage of that day.
[01:02:53] I don't think a lot of us can.
[01:02:54] I still, I lived in New York.
[01:02:57] I was watching it all unfold from my apartment when it was
[01:03:01] while it was happening.
[01:03:02] Yeah, I didn't know what to do with myself.
[01:03:03] But your show that day is a document of kind of a real time
[01:03:11] document of an honest person's reactions as things are laid
[01:03:16] out and because it exists.
[01:03:19] And as I said, reporters can't say the things that you say.
[01:03:23] You're reacting as a real person.
[01:03:25] And I always felt like that day and I think a lot of us
[01:03:30] felt this way.
[01:03:31] I know a lot of us felt this way.
[01:03:33] Oh yeah, Howard helped us get through that day.
[01:03:35] You were on the air as it was happening.
[01:03:37] That was the first time that I heard you in a different
[01:03:40] way.
[01:03:41] Yeah.
[01:03:42] Listen to that because he didn't go from.
[01:03:46] He went from Howard Stern, you know, talking about his
[01:03:48] family.
[01:03:49] I think he was falling around with Pam Anderson the night before
[01:03:52] it scores to now covering this tragedy, this momentum.
[01:03:57] Time to call everybody real.
[01:04:00] You know, like comedians can be real.
[01:04:03] I don't know how close, you know, the ground zero was to the
[01:04:08] K rock building, but I can't have far.
[01:04:10] They were uptown and ground zero is downtown towards the,
[01:04:14] the ground zero.
[01:04:14] I don't know if I know because I'm, you know, from the area.
[01:04:17] So yeah, it's, they were like more towards midtown, uptown.
[01:04:21] Ground zero was more toward the farries where the fairy goes
[01:04:24] from New York to.
[01:04:28] Yeah.
[01:04:28] People were in people were in Hoboken and they saw that the
[01:04:33] towers get hit.
[01:04:35] And they were basically, you know, they basically had all the,
[01:04:38] all the fairies and stuff bring people over for free.
[01:04:41] You know, people who had to get out of there.
[01:04:44] But I remember watching that.
[01:04:47] I remember listening to on the radio.
[01:04:50] And then when the sec, easily, if you listen to, he's like,
[01:04:53] if they did this thing where they synced up CBS because he
[01:04:56] had CBS on the, on the television in the studio,
[01:05:01] because you could, you could do that, you know, and he
[01:05:03] basically, he basically, he basically sees the second plane
[01:05:07] hit.
[01:05:08] And then you start hearing people saying, Oh, there's a third
[01:05:11] plane on the way.
[01:05:12] You know, Oh, the Pentagon just got hit.
[01:05:15] You know, Robin says, what the Pentagon?
[01:05:17] How the hell could that's the center of our, you know, military,
[01:05:21] you know, it's just so uneasy hearing these guys who make us
[01:05:25] laugh for a living and they're actually trying to make some
[01:05:29] common sense out of what the hell is going on in the moment.
[01:05:32] And it's like, I've listened to all the coverage that day from
[01:05:36] some of the DJs that I, that I used to listen to.
[01:05:39] I used to listen to Don and Mike and I used to listen to
[01:05:41] Howard and I used to listen to open Anthony Howard is very
[01:05:46] news like that day, you know, yeah, he's there.
[01:05:49] He's there.
[01:05:50] I think that's why he's so good with interviews.
[01:05:52] He knows how to see all these details and make it his
[01:05:55] actual voice and stuff.
[01:05:56] He was there that he was there all day and he called
[01:05:59] out every other radio.
[01:06:02] He was angry at anyone on patriotic comments.
[01:06:06] He was well, no, it was the thing that people left their
[01:06:10] stations and shit.
[01:06:11] That's what he was like.
[01:06:13] He was like, we got to cover this.
[01:06:15] It matters.
[01:06:16] I know Z 100 like closed up and I know that, you know, they
[01:06:19] put on a simulcast.
[01:06:21] I know that any W stayed on because Don and Mike went
[01:06:24] open Anthony and opening Anthony were out in Long Island at
[01:06:29] some rinky dink radio station.
[01:06:32] They had to do the feed.
[01:06:33] I think so.
[01:06:34] From there to midtown and they were more street wise.
[01:06:38] They had on a Peter was the representative from New York.
[01:06:42] They had a loose black on.
[01:06:46] It was a great.
[01:06:48] And this was the black.
[01:06:49] Yeah, it was a Peter King Peter King Peter King.
[01:06:54] Yeah, Peter King was on that show and he was talking about it
[01:06:57] and he says, you know, this is, you know, I've dealt with
[01:06:59] the Saudi Arabian.
[01:07:00] And that's when, you know, everybody starts going, Oh, okay.
[01:07:03] You know, um,
[01:07:05] You know, and they, they open Anthony were more street wise.
[01:07:09] Howard was more news news wise.
[01:07:11] Yeah.
[01:07:12] He wanted to speak for everybody from the little guy to the big
[01:07:15] guy.
[01:07:15] He wanted to see kind of words and then ask him, you know,
[01:07:18] and then you couldn't ask on network TV.
[01:07:21] And ONA covered it when it was pretty much over.
[01:07:24] He was doing it.
[01:07:24] Howard was doing it in real time.
[01:07:29] Yeah.
[01:07:29] And ONA got more of the gut reaction from everybody.
[01:07:33] Like, you know, we got to go after these sons of bitches, you
[01:07:36] know, and they were like, you know, I loved when they were
[01:07:40] talking, they were like, he's like, you know, Anthony's
[01:07:43] OP says, you know, I was listening to the sports guys and
[01:07:45] Anthony goes, Oh, you listened to them?
[01:07:48] And because they were, they were on the mornings.
[01:07:51] And he said one of them was on and said, Holy F,
[01:07:54] I think somebody just crashed a plane to the world trade center.
[01:07:58] Yeah.
[01:07:59] And you know, you hear that and you're getting,
[01:08:01] you're getting the after reaction where Howard was the.
[01:08:06] Yeah.
[01:08:06] Real time.
[01:08:07] Same thing with Don and Mike.
[01:08:09] You listen to Don and Mike.
[01:08:11] They were right in midtown when that happened.
[01:08:14] And they have both feet in the water because they were in
[01:08:19] New York and their show was out of Washington.
[01:08:22] And that's, that was kind of like, you know, the Pentagon got hit.
[01:08:27] They're both, you know, they both live there.
[01:08:28] Stuff that was underreported by even the main outlets and you're
[01:08:31] like, you know, something's wrong when very talented people
[01:08:35] in entertainment are doing a better job than the news outlets.
[01:08:39] The thing I love this was Dominic Barber.
[01:08:42] The Florida.
[01:08:47] California next.
[01:08:49] My God.
[01:08:52] You know, Dominic Barber was right.
[01:08:55] No.
[01:08:57] He was an attorney out of New York.
[01:08:59] He represented the butt of Foucault's.
[01:09:02] Yes.
[01:09:03] When that was an attention whore.
[01:09:08] He worked his way into the stern show and Howard.
[01:09:11] Yeah.
[01:09:12] I would kind of,
[01:09:12] I would just kind of treat him like a friend of me.
[01:09:16] I mean, how else can you treat a lawyer? I guess when he was funny
[01:09:20] and he, what he did at least, you know, when they picked on him,
[01:09:23] he at least got the joke.
[01:09:25] Yeah.
[01:09:26] He's a good character on the show for a while, but it's a good
[01:09:27] example of just like, how do you use these guys behind the
[01:09:32] scene?
[01:09:33] How do you use them as an onscreen persona?
[01:09:36] And then when you get sick of them, how do you just move
[01:09:39] on and just say, okay, that's enough.
[01:09:42] Well, they, they, they, the thing I love this when they had Billy
[01:09:45] West, because Billy West would do all these characters.
[01:09:48] He really would. Yeah.
[01:09:49] And the one I loved was they did.
[01:09:54] Excuse me.
[01:09:55] Lost in space.
[01:09:57] Yeah.
[01:10:00] And they have it where he's doing, he's doing,
[01:10:03] he's doing Dr. Smith.
[01:10:05] He's like, come here young boy.
[01:10:07] I'm going to wash you.
[01:10:11] What are you doing?
[01:10:13] I'm giving this boy an animal.
[01:10:15] A healthy code is a clean code.
[01:10:18] And he's like, we're going to use.
[01:10:20] Yeah, come on.
[01:10:20] We got to go with you.
[01:10:21] Robot, come here.
[01:10:23] Warning, warning, warning.
[01:10:25] Hey, look, I'm wanting you.
[01:10:27] Warning, warning.
[01:10:28] Oh, you big shiny.
[01:10:30] You're putting it in my pencil sharpener, Dr. Smith.
[01:10:33] I'm going to.
[01:10:36] You know, I want, I listened to Billy West do like so much like Billy
[01:10:40] West, the grandpa, Al Lewis.
[01:10:42] Oh yeah.
[01:10:43] And he would do, he would do it.
[01:10:45] I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:10:48] Yeah.
[01:10:48] They, they who's, who's they, you know,
[01:10:51] damn, they said everything on fire down yet.
[01:10:54] You know, Al Lewis is a racist.
[01:10:57] He'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:10:59] Well, baby, baby.
[01:11:02] Oh my God.
[01:11:04] That's like the other day I was flipping around.
[01:11:06] I was on YouTube looking for shit and I came across a Don
[01:11:09] Rickles stand up and I was, I never heard him do stand up
[01:11:13] before.
[01:11:14] Really?
[01:11:15] No, never.
[01:11:16] I never knew.
[01:11:17] I know who he is.
[01:11:18] I didn't know he had stand up.
[01:11:20] So I, it was an old clip and I'm like, oh, it should be
[01:11:23] all right.
[01:11:24] The first thing out of his,
[01:11:26] he's, he's picking on some black lady in the audience and
[01:11:31] he said, oh, you must have been dipped in M&M's like, oh,
[01:11:35] Jesus Christ.
[01:11:37] He said either you're black or you fall into a bucket of M&M's.
[01:11:41] That's it.
[01:11:41] Yeah.
[01:11:42] I was like, oh man, no.
[01:11:45] Look at the Arab guy back there looking at me going, he's
[01:11:49] gonna get it.
[01:11:50] He's gonna get it.
[01:11:50] He's gonna get it.
[01:11:51] You think he's gonna shoot me?
[01:11:52] Five to one.
[01:11:54] Wow.
[01:11:54] What are you?
[01:11:55] Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian, Hawaiian your ass.
[01:11:59] Who he is in the jungle looking for your grandfather.
[01:12:02] You know, but I'll tell you this.
[01:12:04] Oh, look at his black brother in the front smiling.
[01:12:08] He's probably gonna go up later and pick up all the stuff out
[01:12:10] of my room.
[01:12:12] Wow.
[01:12:13] Yeah.
[01:12:14] Super racist.
[01:12:15] I'm like, oh, I don't think he would be, I'll tell you this.
[01:12:18] I don't think he's racist.
[01:12:20] With Rickles.
[01:12:20] I think Rickles was just like making fun of everybody because,
[01:12:24] you know, for him to be, if you look at him.
[01:12:27] Here he is just like, you know, this little,
[01:12:29] this little chubby guy.
[01:12:31] Yeah.
[01:12:32] This guy who you could easily push over and yeah.
[01:12:34] He's just fall.
[01:12:36] He's just like, hey.
[01:12:38] That was his joke.
[01:12:40] He used the same jokes at every presentation.
[01:12:45] You know, comedy does not age well.
[01:12:48] You know,
[01:12:49] you know,
[01:12:49] he does an age well, but I think Rickles when you watch him later,
[01:12:52] he kind of slowed down on that a little bit.
[01:12:55] Yeah.
[01:12:55] He would start, he would start doing stuff with like, he's like,
[01:12:58] it's great to know Julia Roberts, you know,
[01:13:00] Julia Roberts is here. She lives two blocks away from me.
[01:13:02] Don, I live through.
[01:13:04] Julie, you have no lines. Be quiet.
[01:13:06] You know,
[01:13:07] you know,
[01:13:08] he was just, he would just like, but that's the thing,
[01:13:11] you know, with, with Stern,
[01:13:13] the comedy is dated now,
[01:13:15] but it's still fucking funny.
[01:13:17] Yeah.
[01:13:18] It's that little bit of you that goes, should I be laughing at this?
[01:13:22] I think that's exactly it.
[01:13:25] Some of it, I think because like any,
[01:13:28] they just embrace the radio more than anyone else.
[01:13:31] They were just like, we don't have a script.
[01:13:34] We have a crazy show.
[01:13:36] We have wild guests.
[01:13:38] We have all guests and I mean,
[01:13:39] I can just say one line of you were like, oh,
[01:13:42] yeah, I mean,
[01:13:43] who knows to them halfway through when they got on the serious
[01:13:46] and they just decided, okay,
[01:13:49] let's do less of all this other crap that we've been doing.
[01:13:52] And that was after E Network too.
[01:13:54] Right?
[01:13:55] I think they just figured the internet over.
[01:13:58] So let's just be a little less crazy.
[01:14:00] Remember he had the WW,
[01:14:01] he had the WW, W, W,
[01:14:03] WR show.
[01:14:05] Yeah.
[01:14:06] Okay.
[01:14:07] Then he had a show.
[01:14:09] He had the channel nine show.
[01:14:10] Okay.
[01:14:11] Then he had the interview show he had for about a year.
[01:14:14] Yeah.
[01:14:15] It was a special, right?
[01:14:17] It was, yeah.
[01:14:17] Special.
[01:14:18] Then they'd have him do the show review ones you linked me to is
[01:14:22] very interesting how that was a thing.
[01:14:25] It is for a while.
[01:14:26] I watched New Year's Rot me.
[01:14:28] Oh yeah.
[01:14:30] I remember that name, but no,
[01:14:31] it was a pay-per-view special in 1993.
[01:14:36] I'm surprised with the creation of a big Nirvana fan.
[01:14:39] So we're watching Nirvana on MTV.
[01:14:41] On the downstairs TV and then upstairs and legal.
[01:14:45] Music.
[01:14:46] Exactly.
[01:14:47] The illegal box.
[01:14:49] We're recording our new year's.
[01:14:52] Welcome to the club.
[01:14:53] A firm that you from the government listening to this,
[01:14:55] this was not illegal.
[01:14:56] This was perfectly fine.
[01:14:59] They paid for the pay-per-view.
[01:15:01] Everything was fine.
[01:15:02] Yeah.
[01:15:03] The cable guy paid for it.
[01:15:05] Don't even.
[01:15:06] Yeah.
[01:15:07] They're good boys.
[01:15:08] They didn't do that.
[01:15:09] They didn't do that.
[01:15:09] They just, they were kind of, they rewound.
[01:15:13] So you guys.
[01:15:14] And folks remember back then channel 99 may have been scrambled,
[01:15:19] but you knew what was going on.
[01:15:22] Is that a dick or is that a nipple?
[01:15:24] I can't tell.
[01:15:27] It looks like a vagina, but it could be.
[01:15:30] It looks like a vagina, but it could be.
[01:15:32] I don't know.
[01:15:33] We like seeing things go into other things.
[01:15:37] But all.
[01:15:38] Yeah.
[01:15:38] I remember that.
[01:15:39] I remember that night because I think he had it somewhere in Jersey
[01:15:41] or something like that.
[01:15:42] I think so.
[01:15:43] I have from fucking Newark is how it starts.
[01:15:45] Yes, I remember that.
[01:15:47] That was the night he had,
[01:15:48] he did this thing with Sherman Helmsley dressed up as whoopie
[01:15:52] Goldberg.
[01:15:53] Oh God.
[01:15:54] Making fun of Ted Danson.
[01:15:57] Oh my God.
[01:15:58] They still bring that.
[01:15:59] Oh God.
[01:16:02] And that's, that's the night he had like.
[01:16:04] The, the, the.
[01:16:05] The woman who wanted Debbie Tate.
[01:16:10] suicide like a year later.
[01:16:12] No, she didn't win.
[01:16:14] She came in second.
[01:16:15] She came as who came in first.
[01:16:16] Playboy playmate came in first.
[01:16:19] I can't remember her name right now.
[01:16:21] Oh, Elaine Marks.

[01:17:43] Bob it.
[01:17:44] He had a telethon.
[01:17:45] Oh God.
[01:17:46] For John Wayne.

[01:18:31] but most of the secret.
[01:18:33] Oh.
[01:18:37] I like to think that I'm a nice person.
[01:18:40] I have empathy on it,
[01:18:41] but I was listening to Howard tear into Gary.
[01:18:45] Oh, it makes me laugh.
[01:18:48] So hard.
[01:18:49] Brothers who won't stop pranking each other.
[01:18:51] I don't know.
[01:18:53] It's because Gary always walks into it.
[01:18:55] But yeah, no, that's so true.
[01:18:57] Because.
[01:18:59] Some of these other comedians who are too mean spirited who turn
[01:19:02] us off and yet somehow these guys kind of make us just take
[01:19:07] our insecurities down somehow.
[01:19:09] I remember that because the one when he was on E.
[01:19:11] He ripped in the Bobbitt movies so much and Bob would just
[01:19:14] walk the fuck out.
[01:19:16] And he really want to come back.
[01:19:18] Come back.
[01:19:18] Make them come back.
[01:19:19] Do you remember on the old channel line show.
[01:19:22] They were doing shit about his teeth and they would always have
[01:19:25] these things like put over his face for his teeth.
[01:19:28] I know it's all the channel lines.
[01:19:30] I think I've seen that.
[01:19:32] They were talking about the like,
[01:19:35] like things to like cover his face because his teeth are,
[01:19:38] we're like so big.
[01:19:40] Yeah.
[01:19:41] So, so they did one where they had him wear like a night's
[01:19:43] helmet.
[01:19:44] A diver's mask.
[01:19:46] I think it was a veil.
[01:19:49] This guy made a thing where he was like,
[01:19:51] he was always looking at his lips and he made a thing called this
[01:19:53] self.
[01:19:55] It sounds like the act of this is shit.
[01:19:59] It was like self self.
[01:20:03] You know, he irrigation tube you get what it is.
[01:20:06] So it was this helmet with a freaking,
[01:20:09] a freaking hose on it.
[01:20:11] And he was like, like,
[01:20:12] he's got a dentist office and you would put,
[01:20:14] and he had like two things to snap along.
[01:20:16] So what he did is he pressed a button and then the hose would
[01:20:19] eject like snapper into his mouth so he wouldn't have to lick
[01:20:21] his lips all the time.
[01:20:23] And then he did then one time he's like, he's like, well,
[01:20:26] I'm, he was trying to be a DJ on, on MTV.
[01:20:30] So he said, well, I'm going to go for a new look.
[01:20:31] So that night what happened was that he takes out a pair of
[01:20:35] like takes out a, he had long hair Gary back then.
[01:20:38] So he takes out an electric razor and he shaves all his hair off.
[01:20:41] And they say, who does he look like?
[01:20:43] We in front men Freddie Mercury.
[01:20:46] Oh Christ.
[01:20:48] Okay.
[01:20:49] The people he had under there was one guy on that show.
[01:20:53] If anybody remembers Kenneth Keith Callenback.
[01:20:55] Oh, he's such a weirdo.
[01:20:57] Oh yeah.
[01:20:58] I remember the name, but I don't know who that is.
[01:21:00] Okay.
[01:21:01] The thing was he said he could blow smoke out of his
[01:21:04] eyeballs.
[01:21:04] I think I did.
[01:21:05] I think I did.
[01:21:06] This is when it became a freak show again, like you say,
[01:21:08] because this guy was so, yeah,
[01:21:11] I could blow smoke out of my eyeballs.
[01:21:12] Like that.
[01:21:13] You know, he just was really out of it.
[01:21:14] So what do you do?
[01:21:15] He would start, he would start doing something and then he
[01:21:18] take like a piece of like cooked chicken and start ripping it
[01:21:21] apart.
[01:21:22] Like he was eating it.
[01:21:23] Yes.
[01:21:24] And I mean,
[01:21:25] we started thinking there's this guy on the level.
[01:21:28] You know,
[01:21:29] he's like,
[01:21:29] I'm not sure if it's the guy.
[01:21:29] And it's just here on this world right now.
[01:21:33] Are we say going into the other eyeball?
[01:21:36] Yeah.
[01:21:37] Yeah.
[01:21:38] Some people get on.
[01:21:40] Yeah.
[01:21:42] I still remember the one I always remember being camera talking
[01:21:45] to this a few months ago.
[01:21:48] Oh yeah.
[01:21:50] The other eyeballs.
[01:21:50] The guy was like,
[01:21:53] you can stick your dick in my eyeball.
[01:21:55] Just wear a condom.
[01:21:56] Yeah.
[01:21:56] He's gonna do what?
[01:22:02] And I didn't know that.
[01:22:06] There's just no amount of.
[01:22:08] Like that was having a safe talk.
[01:22:11] That was like.
[01:22:13] To me looking in retrospect at Howard,
[01:22:16] that was like bottom of the barrel for him.
[01:22:20] And now.
[01:22:21] Oh well, you want to talk bottom of the barrel.
[01:22:23] I, he'll always be pretty.
[01:22:27] I think he's like a pretty good guy.
[01:22:28] Pretty good guy.
[01:22:28] Pretty spirited when he's asked about America's got talent gig.
[01:22:31] He's like, I just ate up that money.
[01:22:34] America had no talent and I.
[01:22:37] Word.
[01:22:38] I mean each time he was going on like the late night shows to
[01:22:41] like promote it. He wasn't even promoting it.
[01:22:43] He was like promoting his newest book and this is like, yeah.
[01:22:46] It's like it's easy stupid money.
[01:22:48] There's no credibility to it.
[01:22:50] I'm just going to eat that up.
[01:22:52] It's hysterical.
[01:22:53] I remember 94 95 he got in trouble.
[01:22:57] Well, that's an understatement.
[01:22:59] When does he know?
[01:23:01] No, he got really bad trouble because.
[01:23:04] Salina had just been shot.
[01:23:06] The T'Hanya, the T'Hanya saying.
[01:23:08] Oh yeah.
[01:23:09] And him and Billy West were doing like this thing like,
[01:23:13] oh, do you like the music?
[01:23:14] No, he said,
[01:23:15] he said it sounds like Alvin and the chipmunks.
[01:23:18] Oh, my God.
[01:23:20] And you only eat the doublet that last night. Yeah.
[01:23:24] Okay. All right.
[01:23:25] Yeah. Don't mind the flies. You know, they were just doing this.
[01:23:28] And somebody in Texas heard this.
[01:23:32] Oh, Christ.
[01:23:34] Yeah.
[01:23:35] And the Salina fans heard this.
[01:23:37] And they went after him.
[01:23:39] They were like, you know,
[01:23:40] if he sits foot in Texas, we're going to have him arrested.
[01:23:43] You know, he shouldn't have done this.
[01:23:45] And he had to go and air the next day in Spanish.
[01:23:48] Yeah.
[01:23:49] And apologize.
[01:23:52] I heard that whole thing live as it was happening.
[01:23:56] Wow.
[01:23:57] And I was like, I kind of went.
[01:24:00] Okay. I can understand you don't like the music because it's,
[01:24:03] you know, it's not really that good.
[01:24:05] I've heard it. I don't think it's that good.
[01:24:07] But you don't have to, you know,
[01:24:09] he just kind of went a little bit over.
[01:24:11] I mean, I think that's where he realized if he was going to talk
[01:24:14] about someone at least kind of hear the whole album instead of
[01:24:17] just word of mouth.
[01:24:20] One song.
[01:24:22] Yeah.
[01:24:23] Like him and Kathy Lee Gifford, I remember that whole thing.
[01:24:27] Have he just mercifully rip her a new one.
[01:24:31] Every single day.
[01:24:33] You know, and just be like, you know,
[01:24:35] what's going to happen with Cody?
[01:24:36] He's going to turn into a blood.
[01:24:37] You know, he's going to turn gay.
[01:24:39] You know, she's going to turn that kid gay, right?
[01:24:42] And that's the thing.
[01:24:43] He never came on.
[01:24:45] He did come off as one of those where he just wanted to talk about
[01:24:48] everybody's sexual preferences.
[01:24:50] Oh, and when Frank had the affair with the stewardess,
[01:24:53] Oh my God.
[01:24:55] It was like, he said, oh,
[01:24:56] the chickens have come home to say Kathy Lee.
[01:24:59] Oh my God.
[01:25:01] It's kind of a precursor to.
[01:25:04] When Jimmy Kimmel would have Matt Damon on and say, I'm sorry,
[01:25:07] we're out of time.
[01:25:08] There's not going to be an interview with Matt Damon.
[01:25:09] It's kind of that kind of same kind of thing.
[01:25:11] It's like who's a celebrity who I can shit on.
[01:25:14] It doesn't have anything to do with our show, but.
[01:25:17] We should talk the man show.
[01:25:18] That's how we do a podcast.
[01:25:20] Oh my God.
[01:25:21] Oh yes.
[01:25:22] Because I watched season one of that a few years ago and.
[01:25:28] Oh man.
[01:25:29] A lot of that did not age well.
[01:25:32] Well, it was still funny though.
[01:25:35] It's funny as shit.
[01:25:37] I'm not survived today.
[01:25:40] No, the man show.
[01:25:42] Because Corolla and Kimmel now are like two different species.
[01:25:47] They are, but they're still best friends,
[01:25:49] but it's so weird because they're on different sides of the
[01:25:51] political aisles.
[01:25:52] I know he said in a Conan interview recently,
[01:25:55] he's like, he would rebrand the show.
[01:25:57] He would just have to remind everyone, Hey,
[01:25:59] this is what a douchebag is probably thinking right now.
[01:26:03] I love the man show because they had.
[01:26:07] And then when they left,
[01:26:09] you can say it, they had titties.
[01:26:12] It's okay.
[01:26:12] It's.
[01:26:14] Yeah.
[01:26:16] And.
[01:26:17] Let's pick up here.
[01:26:19] Who took over.
[01:26:20] So.
[01:26:22] There was actually a hysterical riff at the Alec Baldwin roast.
[01:26:26] And this was before his incident where.
[01:26:29] They had Adam Corolla on there and he's one of the rippers and I
[01:26:31] love how one of the other roasters goes out to him and says,
[01:26:34] I get you mixed up with Joe Rogan,
[01:26:35] but maybe it's because he replaced you on the man show.
[01:26:40] I love that.
[01:26:43] Now you guys got offensive podcasts.
[01:26:46] I'm not sure if you guys are going to get it, but.
[01:26:46] I don't know what the fuck.
[01:26:46] And that's.
[01:26:48] Now one thing we really haven't touched on yet is the dynamic
[01:26:52] Stern had with the FCC.
[01:26:55] Oh man.
[01:26:55] Brand himself as like the first amendment protector.
[01:26:59] Yeah.
[01:26:59] But the point is it, it.
[01:27:01] There's a much greater argument that.
[01:27:03] That needs to be made or indirectly.
[01:27:06] Yeah.
[01:27:06] He opened up that chat.
[01:27:08] It's like, okay.
[01:27:09] I can play by the rules,
[01:27:10] but I can literally not even say it at all.
[01:27:13] And you're going to.
[01:27:15] Here's the thing that I've said with him in the FCC,
[01:27:18] the FCC always had somebody in that department who had a hard
[01:27:23] on to get him off the air.
[01:27:24] Absolutely.
[01:27:26] Yeah.
[01:27:28] Before they're trying to get violent TV shows off just video
[01:27:31] games, everything.
[01:27:32] Yeah, but that, but without Stern,
[01:27:34] I don't think we would have at least as healthy as contempt
[01:27:39] for the FCC is as we should.
[01:27:41] But we wouldn't be talking today if it weren't for him and the FCC.
[01:27:45] Yeah, I see that.
[01:27:47] Yeah, but he was, he was,
[01:27:50] he kept branding himself as a first amendment cheerleader.
[01:27:53] He was a defender.
[01:27:54] He was offending your right to be offensive.
[01:27:56] And you know what?
[01:27:57] That's all willing good.
[01:27:58] But the deeper argument is that involves,
[01:28:02] do we actually need an FCC going after this one guy because
[01:28:07] he uses colorful language?
[01:28:09] What about the power of the free market?
[01:28:12] And to be honest,
[01:28:14] and again, if Stern hadn't been there,
[01:28:17] if I'm this hadn't been there,
[01:28:19] and other iterations like man cow or other people that they had not.
[01:28:23] If they had not,
[01:28:24] I don't think we would have as we have this,
[01:28:27] we have the kind of,
[01:28:28] we had the kind of robust first amendment discussions that we have today.
[01:28:33] Here's the thing, Tom,
[01:28:34] that I've always said with Stern was that he would say things
[01:28:37] and the FCC would go after him like, you know,
[01:28:41] like, you know,
[01:28:41] like a wild dog and they chase the tail around and then,
[01:28:44] then then again,
[01:28:46] when Opie and Anthony did X for Sam three in St. Patrick's church.
[01:28:54] Yes.
[01:28:56] It was it was, it was, they had,
[01:28:59] they were doing this thing.
[01:28:59] They had the guy who Jim Cook,
[01:29:01] the guy who owns Samuel Adams.
[01:29:04] They were doing this thing for sex for Sam, right?
[01:29:07] So they would do these things like, you know,
[01:29:10] people do something really well.
[01:29:11] So there was this couple in St. Patrick's Cathedral who had sex,
[01:29:16] I think in the vestibule.
[01:29:18] Right.
[01:29:19] It was something illicit where you're just like, why?
[01:29:22] They were broadcasting it and they people were called,
[01:29:27] you realize what, you know,
[01:29:28] they got arrested for doing it, right?
[01:29:29] And they were trying to, or with, you know,
[01:29:33] the Opie and Anthony radio show.
[01:29:35] So then the two, the next day,
[01:29:38] there's repeat of Opie and Anthony.
[01:29:42] They got shit.
[01:29:44] Because what they did was they did something that is almost
[01:29:49] the level of, you know,
[01:29:50] drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa, you know,
[01:29:52] which is something I wanted to do.
[01:29:55] But I think we all did at one point.
[01:29:57] I think it was like, sure.
[01:29:58] He's a mustache.
[01:30:00] But like, I kind of said, you know,
[01:30:03] they did something that kind of scandalized a lot of things,
[01:30:07] you know, like, and Howard was always just saying, you know,
[01:30:11] let me just say this.
[01:30:14] Okay.
[01:30:15] FCC was after him.
[01:30:16] This was the station went after him.
[01:30:18] The station fired them.
[01:30:20] They, the FCC went after them, you know, all this shit.
[01:30:23] And the FCC in a way kind of reminds you of your local district
[01:30:26] attorney where it splurs that line.
[01:30:28] Are they actually trying to enforce a principle and setting example
[01:30:31] versus are they just trying to get elected, you know,
[01:30:33] they're just, they have to cover that in the wire.
[01:30:38] Literally.
[01:30:39] The game.
[01:30:39] If you watch the wire,
[01:30:42] I love the all seasons cover multiple points of view from everybody
[01:30:47] involved in the thing from the cops to the drugs to users.
[01:30:51] It's all part of the system.
[01:30:54] Yes. And I love that.
[01:30:56] And it's like, oh, but yeah, that's what you're saying.
[01:30:59] Yes.
[01:31:00] Sorry.
[01:31:00] So I will go into the wires so far.
[01:31:05] All in the game.
[01:31:06] No man.
[01:31:08] So, but no, that James is very good point.
[01:31:11] That's a great point.
[01:31:12] I love, I love how, yes.
[01:31:14] I do feel like he was a mature voice in opening up this
[01:31:19] conversation instead of like you say being a.
[01:31:22] Comedian who's like, oh screw you if you can't take a joke.
[01:31:24] He's like, no, that's not what he's saying.
[01:31:26] He's saying, you know,
[01:31:28] it's going back to the whole.
[01:31:30] If you don't want to watch this night or.
[01:31:33] Yeah.
[01:31:34] If you don't want to watch this,
[01:31:35] no one is forcing you to watch this.
[01:31:40] Yeah.
[01:31:41] when he was in the early 90s,
[01:31:41] he had him on one time.
[01:31:47] And it was a very interesting interview when he talks to, you know,
[01:31:49] because these night everything to some dumb rock and roll.
[01:31:52] He's our cool dude.
[01:31:53] He's our cookie.
[01:31:55] Yeah.
[01:31:56] But I've heard him have people on.
[01:31:58] Reviewed and I was like, you know, they must do, you know,
[01:32:01] like I remember he said playboy playmates on.
[01:32:03] Mm hmm.
[01:32:04] And they were.
[01:32:05] No.
[01:32:06] Mesa material.
[01:32:06] Some of them.
[01:32:08] And then he had like, you know,
[01:32:10] somebody on out of the blue, like,
[01:32:12] I remember one time he had George Clooney on.
[01:32:14] Yeah.
[01:32:16] Yeah.
[01:32:17] That had been the odds or was that the 90s when he was first.
[01:32:21] In the 90s. Oh my God.
[01:32:23] We're kind of like the South Park cameos where they're just
[01:32:26] kind of doing just kind of some small, subtle digs.
[01:32:28] I mean, he's not on.
[01:32:30] No.
[01:32:31] No.
[01:32:33] Taking a dump in his friends.
[01:32:35] Cats litter box.
[01:32:37] And making him convinced that the cat took a shit in the box.
[01:32:41] Oh my God. That's great.
[01:32:43] I think I remember that from the best of Howard Stern before one
[01:32:47] all's arrow.
[01:32:49] Yeah.
[01:32:50] Yeah.
[01:32:51] Yeah, you need innovators like that, like with them.
[01:32:54] I'll go back to the sixties comedians like Lenny Bruce and
[01:32:58] George Carlin and later on with Richard Pryor.
[01:33:00] They were seeing things that were outrageous,
[01:33:02] but that made you want to listen to them even more.
[01:33:07] So by the same token, we had to dynamite this that you've got your
[01:33:09] you've got your heart search and they were kind of playing off
[01:33:12] that same formula that yours that you would say something to
[01:33:16] get a reaction.
[01:33:17] And I would garner.
[01:33:19] Garner a lot of attention in a way it's almost like a forced
[01:33:23] improv kind of game in a way where he's just like,
[01:33:25] you know, it's all about listening and reacting to each other.
[01:33:28] But like you say, yeah, the reactions out of time, you're
[01:33:31] like, Oh my God, you were that time where he asked him that
[01:33:33] stupid thing and the guys just, you know, shuttered his like,
[01:33:37] why do you want me to react to that?
[01:33:38] I think I guess the guys in the studio, like, you know, you
[01:33:43] have Fred, you have Jackie, you had Billy West.
[01:33:46] You had, you know, who was the other producer who was always
[01:33:49] angry telling them shut the door.
[01:33:55] That was so.
[01:33:57] So you guys remember the incident where they had the band
[01:34:00] and it's so surreal now. Everyone should look at this clip now
[01:34:03] just to see how the studios are run. You remember when they had
[01:34:06] the band hum? Yeah, it's just so funny.
[01:34:09] They don't have enough space for them to perform and they
[01:34:12] don't have enough space for them to perform the hallways.
[01:34:15] It's like, what do you hear put you there and the other guy.
[01:34:18] Yeah, he keeps coming out saying, cause the cat damn door.
[01:34:23] It was Scott, Scott, the engineer.
[01:34:28] Yeah.
[01:34:30] Who unfortunately, I don't want to say I'm not.
[01:34:35] His wife needed the money and everybody was kind of pissed that
[01:34:41] Howard didn't give any money towards Scott because Scott was
[01:34:43] retired at that time.
[01:34:45] And you know, he lost his wife. He didn't have enough money for
[01:34:49] the, you know, people did give him money.
[01:34:51] You know, the staffers said he was a Scrooge kind of.
[01:34:55] Oh, Scott, Scott will always smoke.
[01:34:58] So he goes smoking. I gotta have a smoking break for my, you
[01:35:03] know, my third.
[01:35:05] Yeah, let me go mix those tapes before I take a smoke.
[01:35:09] You know, that was that was the thing that they say like
[01:35:12] Scott, Scott, Scott, what are you doing?
[01:35:14] I'm taking them smoking before I, you know, there's nicotine on
[01:35:18] the tape. Do you know, Scott, DJ thing called rocket entertainment.
[01:35:25] So they call Scott the engineer and he'll bomb it for her,
[01:35:31] you know, and he doesn't need a smoke machine to smoke cigarettes
[01:35:33] through the whole floor.
[01:35:37] And then there was Jackie had jokeland.
[01:35:40] He had a band.
[01:35:42] One way to wine.
[01:35:46] Then Fred had his own band King Norris.
[01:35:50] And you guys went here to the nursing story.
[01:35:53] He nor played my town.
[01:35:57] He said, King Norris this Friday at the Pomp and Pub.
[01:36:01] Right. I go over to my friend Randy's house.
[01:36:03] Randy says, Hey, let's go up to the Pomp and Pub because we're
[01:36:05] you know, we're 21. We can get in there now.
[01:36:08] We go walk in there. We go up the street. We walk in.
[01:36:12] There is a crowd of people. I'm like a crowd of a thousand people
[01:36:15] outside, right?
[01:36:17] We see one of our friends come out. He's like, dude, you won't believe
[01:36:20] who's in there. Who's stuttering Johnny Gary.
[01:36:25] Like Howard's not in there, man. I know he's not in there.
[01:36:29] Dude, he is. He is. I saw it.
[01:36:30] Dude, it's probably someone dressed like Howard. Okay.
[01:36:33] Right.
[01:36:34] It's not hard to get a wig like his. Yeah.
[01:36:37] And I'm like, he's like, yeah, but Gary's in there and John,
[01:36:40] Stuttering John.
[01:36:41] And I think Jack is in there too. Cause we're somebody telling
[01:36:43] jokes. I'm like, dude, that could have been anyone.
[01:36:46] It's not hard to tell it.
[01:36:48] How's the house? How's King Norris?
[01:36:50] I don't know. I didn't hear him yet.
[01:36:51] What the hell?
[01:36:52] Like, fuck it's not, you know, but um,
[01:36:57] He played in my hometown as this little bar called the Pomp
[01:37:00] and Pub.
[01:37:00] I'm only hold about 50 people in the place.
[01:37:03] It was like, I got 1000 people outside trying to get in.
[01:37:06] I was just like, uh, let's go home to your house and just chill
[01:37:09] out. You know,
[01:37:11] I actually got on hold for the Stern show,
[01:37:15] but he never got to my call. Unfortunately.
[01:37:18] I did get through one time.
[01:37:21] I bet I spent about two hours on hold. And then
[01:37:24] unfortunately the show ended.
[01:37:33] I was at a comic book convention and they had a voiceover
[01:37:38] panel and Billy West was there and they were looking for voices
[01:37:41] for people to do. And I screamed out Jackie Puppet and oh,
[01:37:45] Billy,
[01:37:45] you made a sour face and he said,
[01:37:47] that's not going to happen.
[01:37:51] Yeah.
[01:37:53] Cause it's hell of a stroke.
[01:37:55] Yeah.
[01:37:56] But um, you know, we forgot to talk about the dynamic between him
[01:38:00] and Robin. Oh, totally. Yeah.
[01:38:03] I would say that he absolutely.
[01:38:05] I would say audience for him.
[01:38:07] Yeah.
[01:38:08] I think the thing with him and Robin is that she is his muse.
[01:38:13] I mean, he could have, he could have, you know,
[01:38:16] he could have, he had a voice of reason. Yeah.
[01:38:18] Yeah. Definitely.
[01:38:19] He has Beth now who's two smooth and cool.
[01:38:26] She's his muse.
[01:38:27] She's the one that he bounces everything off of.
[01:38:31] Oh yeah.
[01:38:31] And when she got the cancer scare recent years,
[01:38:34] he's like, we're not doing anything else.
[01:38:36] We're putting this show on reruns and going to figure this out.
[01:38:40] And he said, he said, when you die, I want to be buried on top of
[01:38:43] you.
[01:38:44] Yeah.
[01:38:45] I do know that he's said several times, like if she leaves,
[01:38:49] he's going to quit the show. He's like, yeah.
[01:38:51] Because the thing is with hers that she's the level headed one.
[01:38:55] She's the one that's the ring master of that.
[01:38:57] Was the ring master of that show.
[01:39:00] You know, she would, she would, you know, if Gilbert was on,
[01:39:02] she would tell Gilbert to stop.
[01:39:04] Yeah.
[01:39:04] He's just as good an interviewer, viewer, I think.
[01:39:09] And I think the thing was she was a serious news woman too.
[01:39:15] And I just remember her.
[01:39:18] Doing a lot. You know, just like being, you know,
[01:39:20] being there when Howard needed it, you know,
[01:39:23] you know, then talking was just great.
[01:39:27] You know, Jackie would jump in with something and Fred would
[01:39:29] jump in with something, you know,
[01:39:32] but the dynamic between him and him and Robin is just really,
[01:39:36] you know, was really, it was kind of like they were a married
[01:39:40] couple, but they weren't married, you know?
[01:39:42] And I remember seeing her for the first time.
[01:39:46] And I remember hearing and I was like, I was like,
[01:39:48] here's this woman who's really, you know,
[01:39:52] feeding him stuff to go off on.
[01:39:54] And then she would, she would come back with her reaction.
[01:39:57] So that's the great thing about that if you don't have
[01:39:59] anybody feeding off the reaction that you're doing,
[01:40:02] you're stuck.
[01:40:03] Yeah, absolutely.
[01:40:04] You need a dance partner sometimes.
[01:40:06] Very underrated comedian and even, you know,
[01:40:10] she was at a few of the roasts and everything.
[01:40:12] She just has this way about kind of just belonging in the scene.
[01:40:17] I think he said it best.
[01:40:18] Howard's called her Margaret Dumont to their Marx brothers.
[01:40:22] Yeah, you need Margaret.
[01:40:25] Yes.
[01:40:27] You don't want to tell him a time you want to market to market
[01:40:30] to my, you know,
[01:40:33] you want to miss you want Mrs. Writtenhouse there,
[01:40:35] you know, you want Mrs. T.
[01:40:36] You know, you need me on that wall.
[01:40:43] Sweet.
[01:40:44] This has been delightful guys.
[01:40:47] I think because we're, we're done already fucking kidding.
[01:40:51] I don't know.
[01:40:51] I don't know unless you want to be damn it.
[01:40:54] I don't want to be mad Damon.
[01:40:56] I would.
[01:40:57] I was staring.
[01:41:00] At the circus.
[01:41:02] This is 1939.
[01:41:04] So we were.
[01:41:06] Now.
[01:41:06] I was about six foot two.
[01:41:10] And I worked.
[01:41:12] We were doing a scene together.
[01:41:16] You know, sometimes you are saying together.
[01:41:20] With two people not dialogue.
[01:41:23] If something you say when you're talking to each other,
[01:41:27] because if nobody talked to each other,
[01:41:29] they wouldn't call it a play.
[01:41:31] They probably.
[01:41:32] And then play.
[01:41:34] And we were, we were doing 1921.
[01:41:38] When we were sorry.
[01:41:43] If I may suggest a deep dive to you at some point in time is look
[01:41:48] up Richard Christie and cells.
[01:41:51] Tredio calls.
[01:41:53] Oh God.
[01:41:56] Somewhere down south they found a radio station that's a.
[01:42:01] It's on a religious station.
[01:42:03] And they do a thing called swap shop where people call up and list
[01:42:06] items.
[01:42:07] Oh my God.
[01:42:08] There's 10 hours of them just.
[01:42:11] Doing the most doing the most hilarious phony phone calls to
[01:42:14] these poor people.
[01:42:16] And they're religious radio show.
[01:42:18] My wife's got that.
[01:42:20] What can I do to stop that?
[01:42:22] That's just it too.
[01:42:23] Is like you had all these.
[01:42:25] Crazy.
[01:42:26] It's from around the country and they do them almost as if he was a
[01:42:30] God.
[01:42:30] And he's like, I didn't ask for this, but I'll bite.
[01:42:33] I love, I love when you said evil David Letterman on.
[01:42:36] Oh, that was cool.
[01:42:38] Yeah.
[01:42:38] It was like, it was like Dave Ram or something.
[01:42:41] No, it was no evil Dave was his name.
[01:42:44] Evil Dave.
[01:42:44] Okay.
[01:42:45] But something was another.
[01:42:47] Wasn't there another one also on there?
[01:42:49] Like there were some other.
[01:42:50] he was a guy who was.
[01:42:53] He was an engineer in a.
[01:42:58] WXRK.
[01:42:59] So he would do so they would be like, they'd be like, um,
[01:43:03] so would you what, what are you,
[01:43:05] are you bringing some with you tonight?
[01:43:07] You hear this little timid voice go.
[01:43:09] I'm afraid she's going to clash with the colors in the green
[01:43:14] room.
[01:43:15] Oh,
[01:43:16] I'm afraid she's going to clash with the colors in the green room.
[01:43:16] And then.
[01:43:17] It'd be like,
[01:43:19] what would you, what do you, what are you looking for in life?
[01:43:22] I will see.
[01:43:25] I think maybe a 16 year old girl, you know,
[01:43:27] like something like that.
[01:43:29] It would just be, it would just be like so.
[01:43:30] It would be so off color, you know, but it would be so.
[01:43:34] Because it, you know, this was a time when Woody Allen was
[01:43:36] getting raked through the coals.
[01:43:41] And then he was like, what are you looking for?
[01:43:42] They would ask even stuff about that in the media.
[01:43:45] To where it was just like, see.
[01:43:47] They're asking about other taboo stuff that.
[01:43:50] People don't want an answer to and they actually want an answer
[01:43:53] to it.
[01:43:54] Word.
[01:43:55] Comedians and all they bring stuff like that up.
[01:43:57] They would have Roger Ebert on, I think,
[01:43:59] and that same discussion.
[01:44:00] It was just hysterical.
[01:44:02] Yeah.
[01:44:02] They asked Roger Ebert, why did you marry a black woman?
[01:44:05] And he's like, no, no, come on. You want to get kinky, right?
[01:44:08] You know, he just, I remember they had Roger Ebert and Jean
[01:44:13] Cisco on.
[01:44:15] That's the one that was a great chat.
[01:44:17] They were interviewing on the WWSR show.
[01:44:21] He did a thing called Awaking Up,
[01:44:23] which is going to help up on awakenings.
[01:44:26] What did you think about it?
[01:44:28] And he's like, and they just gave like the world's like worst review
[01:44:31] of everything.
[01:44:32] And he's like, well, it was pretty good.
[01:44:34] You know, and I just, I mean,
[01:44:38] they gave their review of private parts.
[01:44:42] Yeah.
[01:44:42] Oh, that's right.
[01:44:43] This is so funny because this is how you really feel.
[01:44:48] And it's warm and fuzzy as apple pie.
[01:44:50] Apple pie served by a leaf.
[01:44:52] Let's be waitress.
[01:44:54] Yeah.
[01:44:56] It was funny because when Howard would talk about doing a movie for
[01:45:00] years, Cisco would I would say, no, no, do a documentary.
[01:45:03] It'll be more interesting.
[01:45:04] But then when the movie came out, they gave it a good review.
[01:45:07] Cause you know,
[01:45:09] I remember he was trying to fart man.
[01:45:10] It's so true though.
[01:45:11] It's like putting these two critics who do this for a living on
[01:45:14] a spot and it just was kind of funny to see the shell of it.
[01:45:18] Does anybody remember him doing fart man at the MTV musical works?
[01:45:23] Oh yes.
[01:45:23] And I'm so surprised.
[01:45:25] Just grabbed his ass.
[01:45:28] And the fact that he has his own superhero,
[01:45:30] he can always lean on and it makes me wonder why he never came out
[01:45:34] with like a video game or something.
[01:45:36] He wouldn't, he wouldn't let it go.
[01:45:39] He wouldn't give up the rights.
[01:45:40] They were almost there making a movie with new line.
[01:45:43] I do recall.
[01:45:44] It all came down to the moich and dyesing.
[01:45:47] Was this in the,
[01:45:48] then he tried again in around like 2002, I think.
[01:45:51] And then he was like, it was early nineties.
[01:45:55] I'm sorry, mid nineties.
[01:45:56] It was, it was, it was right there.
[01:45:59] They were ready to do the movie, but they just couldn't agree on the
[01:46:03] merchandising piece.
[01:46:04] It was probably like 500 million or no deal.
[01:46:07] They had a script too.
[01:46:09] I don't know who wrote the script.
[01:46:11] Was it like Robert Smigel or somebody?
[01:46:13] It was the dude who wrote under siege.
[01:46:15] I know that.
[01:46:16] I don't know.
[01:46:18] I forgot.
[01:46:19] Howard did practice martial artists for a while.
[01:46:21] He loved him.
[01:46:22] Some stupid karate movies.
[01:46:23] My guess is that new line wanted to own it.
[01:46:27] And Howard was like, no, I own it and they just couldn't agree.
[01:46:31] Yeah.
[01:46:31] There's another story for you about the making of parts.
[01:46:35] Apparently at one point, like it was a pretty clean shoot.
[01:46:39] Everything got done on time and everything, but near the end.
[01:46:43] When pig vomit, you know,
[01:46:44] the old boss is being kind of shown as this kind of being bullied
[01:46:49] by him one last time.
[01:46:50] He kind of wanted to downplay that because he knew family members
[01:46:53] were going to be watching this film.
[01:46:55] And the director was like, no, we're being truthful.
[01:47:00] And Ivan right, man, that's right.
[01:47:02] Mr. Ghostbusters himself was the producer on it.
[01:47:04] And he's like, Oh, Betty,
[01:47:05] I don't think you can say no to Howard.
[01:47:07] He's just as crazy as all the Schwarzenegger's and Danny
[01:47:09] DeVito's I've worked with.
[01:47:10] And she's like, I'm not changing it.
[01:47:12] Okay.
[01:47:12] Fine.
[01:47:13] Well, I'll, I'll modify it to where you can't hear everything he's
[01:47:17] saying, but that makes it even funnier because he's mumbling it
[01:47:20] while he's doing a operating a jackhammer.
[01:47:25] And what's funny is now that it's been remastered and now
[01:47:28] that it's been remastered in Blu-ray, ironically,
[01:47:31] you can actually hear it even more clearer.
[01:47:33] So it's uncensored on the soundtrack CD.
[01:47:36] Oh, so there you go.
[01:47:37] So it was one of those because she just kind of just slightly
[01:47:40] modified it.
[01:47:41] He never said anything, but it was so funny.
[01:47:43] It's like, dude, I'm telling your story.
[01:47:45] This is funny. Come on.
[01:47:47] But I think the one thing that gets me the most is the guy who
[01:47:51] was picked on in real life passed away and Howard was very,
[01:47:55] very, very consoling about, you know,
[01:47:58] because I know we had our differences and stuff, you know,
[01:48:00] you know, in the movie, you know, we had to do that for
[01:48:04] effect.
[01:48:04] You can tell me Howard.
[01:48:07] Yeah, you can thank Howard for launching Paul G.
[01:48:09] Amadi's career. Absolutely.
[01:48:11] They actually talked about it in more recent, I think 2016.
[01:48:14] Yeah, I think he was just on last week, actually.
[01:48:16] So there you go. Yeah.
[01:48:18] Yeah.
[01:48:19] And I mean, Allison Janney is playing one of the station
[01:48:24] managers.
[01:48:25] He's in it.
[01:48:26] Randy Santoni plays Beth in the movie.
[01:48:31] Who's who's his father was played by Richard pack.
[01:48:35] Pack now.
[01:48:36] Yeah.
[01:48:37] Even the other station guys in there is just like they work so
[01:48:41] well. And when they're doing the argument where they're
[01:48:45] unintentionally hitting each other with the phone, you know,
[01:48:48] he's just hit himself in the face. Why would you do that?
[01:48:51] It is just, it's just perfect.
[01:48:53] It's so well staged and you can't believe.
[01:48:56] The part that had me cracking up was when they were to
[01:49:00] Mr. Black's, well, this is my friend, you know,
[01:49:03] I was like, Oh, yeah.
[01:49:06] Oh, I swallowed it.
[01:49:08] I saw it.
[01:49:08] And I mean,
[01:49:09] we're all in the theater laughing when they did the match
[01:49:13] game with.
[01:49:15] Oh my God.
[01:49:17] And Robin doing the off color bit.
[01:49:20] Why is my cock bigger than your cock?
[01:49:22] And we were all hysterical laughing like, you know,
[01:49:27] we're in the movie theaters and maybe about 20 people.
[01:49:31] My friend, you saw my friend Mike and my friend Humphrey.
[01:49:34] And we were all just like doubling over and laughter.
[01:49:40] And then the part with.
[01:49:45] Orgasm.
[01:49:46] Oh yeah.
[01:49:48] I knew it.
[01:49:51] You know,
[01:49:53] there's just so many great moments in there. And again, like,
[01:49:55] you know, this is years before Fred starts doing puppeteering
[01:49:59] and, you know,
[01:50:00] Robin starts even reporting outrageous news and the fact that
[01:50:03] they were able. I mean,
[01:50:05] you want to talk a recent autobiography movie? You know,
[01:50:08] it's like that was fresh and new when his star was at the Max.
[01:50:12] And I mean, it's so accessible.
[01:50:13] I think that's why it works so well as a comedy movie.
[01:50:16] There's just so much to pull from and make into a coherent
[01:50:19] piece.
[01:50:20] And like you say, it just like we keep talking about it brings
[01:50:24] up the whole idea of what's it like being a radio shock
[01:50:27] and pushing the limit on censorship. It's a food for thought
[01:50:32] comedy.
[01:50:32] Do you guys think that paint like that scene with anis where I
[01:50:36] just doesn't go fuck off? You think that was.
[01:50:39] You think that really happened? You think that was just how
[01:50:40] or taking it?
[01:50:41] I mean,
[01:50:44] I'm open to either interpretation. If it didn't happen.
[01:50:48] He at least was giving him the look like, you know,
[01:50:51] belong here. So I mean that's,
[01:50:53] that's hardly as something crazy as compared to say one of these
[01:50:58] whitewashed epics where someone punches a guy in charge and it
[01:51:01] never happened.
[01:51:04] I wasn't listening around then.
[01:51:07] I only know I'm a stern fan so I only know the history from the
[01:51:11] Howard point of view. So I wouldn't even know.
[01:51:14] I mean, I must have been nice to him the whole time,
[01:51:17] but it would have been even funnier having been inside his
[01:51:20] mind.
[01:51:21] Yeah, I heard I was going to coke at that time. So it was kind of,
[01:51:25] it could have been the paranoia setting in.
[01:51:29] Absolutely. That is true. It could have been very well an acid
[01:51:32] dream that he thought he was saying it even though he never
[01:51:34] even really interacted with him much. He just heard from a map
[01:51:37] of the fact like he doesn't like you.
[01:51:40] Yeah. The part I love is when the guy who's replacing Robin
[01:51:44] comes in,
[01:51:48] and they bring him to kill bossa queen.
[01:51:51] She's real. Have you ever watched this movie?
[01:51:54] Just watched it in fact that's basically why I haven't really
[01:51:58] spoke a whole lot because I basically know how it's turned
[01:52:01] from the movie and that's pretty much it.
[01:52:04] My iterations only movie.
[01:52:07] And just to come on USA Network quite a lot and I was
[01:52:12] surprised that how well they actually modified it without
[01:52:15] losing any of the humor compared to most companies where if
[01:52:19] you cut a scene, you're like, yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
[01:52:21] Dude, I was dumb shit back then when the hell they edited
[01:52:24] it's like, oh, look at this.
[01:52:26] Right.
[01:52:26] Like no point in watching Menace the Society or
[01:52:30] Tarantino. It's not making it.
[01:52:31] Tales from the hood.
[01:52:33] Oh, I bet.
[01:52:35] That was funny on sideflats, you know, because they turn
[01:52:40] stuttering now. Yeah.
[01:52:41] They turn motherfucker into maggot farmer.
[01:52:46] Wow.
[01:52:49] Wow.
[01:52:51] That's.
[01:52:52] That reminds me of that episode of a Mr.
[01:52:54] show where they have the movie Pallies.
[01:52:56] And they never think you mother father.
[01:52:59] I can't believe you father did that.
[01:53:01] And it's like, you yeah, well, you're a Chinese dentist and
[01:53:05] you know,
[01:53:09] that reminds me of hook.
[01:53:15] Where Robbins going back and forth of Rufio.
[01:53:18] And he calls him an air sighted gynecologist and I didn't
[01:53:21] fucking get that till after I watched that scene.
[01:53:25] Really?
[01:53:26] You said that to a teenager.
[01:53:28] Seriously.
[01:53:29] And then I got it.
[01:53:30] I was like, oh, he can't find the clip.
[01:53:33] That's insane.
[01:53:35] And that's an idea.
[01:53:39] I'm really, I'm still surprised.
[01:53:41] They'll still let.
[01:53:42] Shit or damn, like up to like five of them go in a kids movie and
[01:53:47] it still has a PG rating.
[01:53:49] It's just as long as there's no Fred of death or animals dying,
[01:53:52] you're fine.
[01:53:54] Kill the kids.
[01:53:56] You know, like, like in a, like in a Mac and me.
[01:54:01] Oh, Christ.
[01:54:02] Movie. Oh my God.
[01:54:05] We call that Paul.
[01:54:08] Yeah, Paul Rudd's favorite thing to do on the.
[01:54:11] He even pulled it off on Conan's podcast.
[01:54:14] Yeah.
[01:54:16] He had an audio clip.
[01:54:18] It was still funny.
[01:54:19] It's like we knew what was going on.
[01:54:21] So kudos to the all the audio engineers who can make us use
[01:54:24] our imagination.
[01:54:25] No, that's something crazy.
[01:54:26] I don't know.
[01:54:29] But anything, I feel like we're still living in kind of primitive
[01:54:33] times.
[01:54:33] They're still on occasion, like a war of the world's incident where
[01:54:36] someone's imagination goes too far and you're like,
[01:54:39] you thought someone was actually doing that on the radio?
[01:54:42] My God, it was just a skit.
[01:54:43] Stumb and you took it.
[01:54:46] Now it's going to get even worse with AI.
[01:54:49] Yeah, absolutely.
[01:54:50] AI is just lazy, lazy.
[01:54:53] And people are still using it to cut corners.
[01:54:55] I'm like, God, if you.
[01:54:57] Cut corners, they'll just keep forgetting how to do it the right
[01:55:00] way.
[01:55:01] I, let me ask you guys a question.
[01:55:03] If you were since we are, you know, stern fans and stuff.
[01:55:08] Jackie or.
[01:55:11] Richard.
[01:55:12] No, Jackie already.
[01:55:14] You're already.
[01:55:16] You're already.
[01:55:17] It's fun because he used to dig the hell into people.
[01:55:21] But there's, there's so different.
[01:55:23] I know.
[01:55:24] I can't really.
[01:55:26] I'm going to say Jackie because I mean, I love already.
[01:55:29] Yeah.
[01:55:30] Because of the stories you could tell, but Jackie wrote a lot of
[01:55:33] shit.
[01:55:33] And when he left.
[01:55:36] You know, it's kind of like, you know, a big plug that
[01:55:40] taken out.
[01:55:40] And I think that's the biggest thing that Jackie would do.
[01:55:41] Because to me, you know, Jackie would.
[01:55:43] Jackie would actually.
[01:55:46] Like think of stuff to say on the fly and slip it over to.
[01:55:50] Howard or something.
[01:55:52] And then not only that.
[01:55:53] Whenever they would play Jackie inappropriately laughing.
[01:55:58] They would have the camera look on Jackie and Jackie would be
[01:56:01] looking at Fred and Jackie would have to slow burn on his face.
[01:56:05] Like he was going to kill Fred.
[01:56:06] I think that's so true.
[01:56:09] Maybe to answer your question, maybe Fred.
[01:56:12] Because Fred's literally pulling all the strings here.
[01:56:16] Fred's been there since like the beginning almost.
[01:56:18] He absolutely has.
[01:56:19] He's got crazy cool hair.
[01:56:21] I love how he holds up signs and teleprompters.
[01:56:24] And now lately he's been doing more puppeteering.
[01:56:26] You're like, whoa.
[01:56:29] Who was that?
[01:56:30] The thing that gets his hands and things.
[01:56:36] Fred.
[01:56:37] Wow.
[01:56:37] He's the most quiet one out of the.
[01:56:40] Yeah, no, that's true.
[01:56:42] He.
[01:56:43] So am good.
[01:56:45] I mean, I remember.
[01:56:46] He did this thing about like music on the stern show, like, you
[01:56:49] know, your favorite songs you wanted to see was pulling out
[01:56:52] these songs.
[01:56:53] I was going, oh, shit.
[01:56:55] You know, he's a good musician.
[01:56:57] He's like, I know, he can.
[01:56:59] He just has that beat.
[01:57:01] He can do all kinds of different music.
[01:57:03] You got to post up on the message board that we have here for
[01:57:07] face.
[01:57:07] Sure.
[01:57:08] The inappropriate laughs of Jackie.
[01:57:12] Gilbert.
[01:57:13] Couple of Gilbert clips that are just phenomenal.
[01:57:16] There's one you have to listen to it's Gilbert and
[01:57:18] Sam Kinnison where they talk about Ryan White's.
[01:57:22] If you remember what Ryan.
[01:57:24] So it's Ryan White's.
[01:57:27] So.
[01:57:29] Gilbert starts doing dice at the wake.
[01:57:32] Oh, I mean, it's just.
[01:57:36] It's just nice.
[01:57:37] You know, they say dice showed up and dice there.
[01:57:39] This one there to 15 minutes.
[01:57:42] And they Gilbert starts doing dice.
[01:57:45] And I.
[01:57:46] I mean, it's a track.
[01:57:48] It's a tragic thing.
[01:57:49] You know this kid died of AIDS, you know, but.
[01:57:51] Yeah, Gilbert did a movie about it.
[01:57:53] And then ironically he appears in dice is only big movie,
[01:57:58] which is.
[01:57:59] Ford Farrell and.
[01:58:01] And that's that's when you guys were they talk about Ford Farrell
[01:58:04] bombing.
[01:58:06] Because Howard wanted dice to bomb so bad.
[01:58:10] Oh yeah, it was kind of funny how he would take on.
[01:58:13] I think that's why I also kind of liked him.
[01:58:16] He.
[01:58:18] He would always he hated it when he just saw any kind of bullying in
[01:58:23] the comedy.
[01:58:24] Setting, so it was just kind of always fun to see him kind of pick
[01:58:27] on some of the other bad boys here's like we're going too far.
[01:58:30] Do you remember when Artie Lang just for whatever reason really
[01:58:33] hated.
[01:58:35] Dirty work.
[01:58:35] No, I don't remember that. Yeah.
[01:58:37] He made it a recurring gag.
[01:58:39] Like he hated.
[01:58:41] How Bob Sageta directed it and when Norm MacDonald would come
[01:58:43] on, they would give him shit about it.
[01:58:45] It's a great.
[01:58:46] Oh yeah.
[01:58:46] Yeah.
[01:58:48] Is like dude, it's not that bad a movie, but you could not
[01:58:51] convince Artie's like no, no worse movie ever.
[01:58:54] I walked out of it.
[01:58:55] It's a comedy.
[01:58:57] You're like come on dude.
[01:58:58] It's not that bad a movie.
[01:59:00] It's not as bad as beer league and I love.
[01:59:02] Oh, I guess this dirty work was a great movie to watch.
[01:59:06] I love dirty work.
[01:59:07] What's funny is I saw that.
[01:59:09] You'll never guess what channel was had that on a lot.
[01:59:12] I'm not sure what channel was had that.
[01:59:14] I'm not sure what channel was had that.
[01:59:14] ABC family.
[01:59:15] I am.
[01:59:16] Oh my God.
[01:59:18] They were able to modify quite a lot and it's still funny,
[01:59:20] but it was just weird slapstick and.
[01:59:23] Don't tell me they took out the dead hookers in the used cars.
[01:59:26] I don't know.
[01:59:28] Definitely would have eliminated any of the prison moments,
[01:59:32] but I just thought it was just so off color.
[01:59:34] Like, should I be watching this friend?
[01:59:37] I saw it.
[01:59:40] Yeah.
[01:59:41] I was like, oh, I'll be watching this.
[01:59:56] I'm not sure what channel I'm watching.
[02:00:03] I don't know.
[02:00:03] I'm not sure if you've ever seen something like that.
[02:00:07] I've seen a lot of people that have been like,
[02:00:07] when Bob started,
[02:00:10] that Blu-ray went out of like stock.
[02:00:13] What way?
[02:00:14] What passed away when Bob Saget passed and normal.
[02:00:16] Donald both passed.
[02:00:18] Oh, yeah.
[02:00:18] Dirty work went up and people were trying to get a copy of it
[02:00:21] and they couldn't.
[02:00:22] It was just out of stock.
[02:00:24] I love dirty work.
[02:00:26] And the sad thing is you watch them.
[02:00:28] That's Chris Farley's like really last movie.
[02:00:30] It really is.
[02:00:31] Mm hmm.
[02:00:32] That in almost here is.
[02:00:33] Yeah.
[02:00:34] Farley was on stern a few times, right?
[02:00:36] Or was he just, um,
[02:00:39] I thought they gave him a,
[02:00:40] I thought they gave him a tribute when he passed away.
[02:00:42] No, they had spade on a couple of times.
[02:00:47] Spade was always funny because Spade was like talking about the
[02:00:50] one time you made the joke about Eddie Murphy on SNL.
[02:00:53] Yeah.
[02:00:54] He's like, he says, hey, look, kids falling star and make a wish.
[02:00:58] And he said Murphy called him up like that Monday.
[02:01:04] Yeah.
[02:01:05] Yeah.
[02:01:05] Murphy was not digging it.
[02:01:07] I remember that.
[02:01:08] Eddie Murphy's on the phone.
[02:01:09] He's like, what?
[02:01:10] He's like, Eddie Murphy's not.
[02:01:11] Now you're kidding me.
[02:01:11] He's like, no, no.
[02:01:12] Eddie Murphy's on the phone.
[02:01:13] He wants to talk to you.
[02:01:15] Yeah.
[02:01:16] Sure.
[02:01:16] Yeah.
[02:01:17] So he goes, he goes, he's like, yeah, yeah.
[02:01:20] He's like, you Dave?
[02:01:22] Yeah.
[02:01:23] That wasn't funny motherfucker.
[02:01:24] And he hung up the phone up and was like,
[02:01:28] Oh gee.
[02:01:29] Yeah.
[02:01:30] That's a great.
[02:01:31] What would happen if he interviewed Rob Lowe?
[02:01:34] He did interview Rob Lowe.
[02:01:36] I did.
[02:01:37] I think he did. Yeah.
[02:01:40] Everybody.
[02:01:43] Okay.
[02:01:45] I am mistaken.
[02:01:47] Yeah.
[02:01:48] He, he interviewed.
[02:01:49] 2014.
[02:01:50] Okay.
[02:01:51] All right.
[02:01:52] And make me talk.
[02:01:53] Ed McMahon was really that was one of his.
[02:01:55] I said Stephanie McMahon.
[02:01:57] Oh,
[02:01:58] he interviewed.
[02:01:59] Yeah.
[02:02:00] Oh yeah.
[02:02:00] That's right.
[02:02:01] The Vince McMahon one was pretty wild because.
[02:02:03] For a guy who's a pretty infamous guy who's done a lot for wrestling.
[02:02:07] Like he has.
[02:02:08] Crazy stuff about his molestation. You're like, Jesus.
[02:02:12] Howard.
[02:02:12] Well,
[02:02:14] Not that I can talk about that next time.
[02:02:17] But this is like, man, it was like, I think this is it.
[02:02:21] Like he could ask stuff that.
[02:02:23] You arrive on my fine and sensitive, but in a way he somehow.
[02:02:28] Again, just kind of made you just feel like, Hey, I,
[02:02:31] I know what I'm asking here. I've done this long enough. It's kind of like.
[02:02:35] It's kind of like when you're talking to the interrogator,
[02:02:38] he's done his job too well too many times.
[02:02:41] I think he knows how to do this.
[02:02:44] His most recent stuff now,
[02:02:46] like I watched him interview Paul Simon, which was a great interview.
[02:02:50] Yeah.
[02:02:51] He has the rock musician one down to a T like he knows how to get them out
[02:02:55] of their shells. There's a historical one with Joe Walsh.
[02:02:58] Oh, how you doing?
[02:03:02] To be fair, Joe Walsh is hysterical regardless.
[02:03:07] I know but like to get him even layered there was a they did air his
[02:03:12] recent interview with Bruce Springsteen back in 2022 like they aired it on HBO.
[02:03:17] It was a big big big event and yes, I was so well collected.
[02:03:22] It was just so brilliant.
[02:03:24] I love the one he did with Keith Richards.
[02:03:28] Oh,
[02:03:29] it's Richard was amazing to listen.
[02:03:32] You know, he was that you got, you know, I already got McCartney on like
[02:03:38] one or two years after.
[02:03:40] He's been on a bunch of times.
[02:03:42] I know I shared in your group, the film junkyard, I shared the Roger
[02:03:46] Daltry one where he's talking about how they stopped playing one
[02:03:50] particular song once Keith Moon died.
[02:03:53] They're like, this song is cursed.
[02:03:55] Bellboy, I think was the one I think yes.
[02:03:58] I think it's a very obscure one.
[02:04:01] He basically tells he told everybody how much of a big town's
[02:04:05] and was to a lot of people.
[02:04:08] You know, he said like, I know Pete, you know, Pete, Pete me go
[02:04:10] back away.
[02:04:11] And Pete's always been like that, you know, because he talked.
[02:04:15] I think it was interesting for his book or something like that.
[02:04:18] Thank you, Mr. Kimmelwhite.
[02:04:20] And he basically said he would sometimes like dig into Keith.
[02:04:25] Yes, he would.
[02:04:26] He would be like, what the fuck did I do wrong?
[02:04:29] You know, right?
[02:04:29] Why are you picking on me?
[02:04:32] Um, but I love when he talked about that when he said
[02:04:36] musicians on there, like he had Neil Young on and he
[02:04:39] talked about David Crosby.
[02:04:42] Yeah.
[02:04:43] And I talked to David before he passed away and we kind of made
[02:04:46] a mess because Crosby said something about.
[02:04:50] You know, young swan being a cold digger who's Darrell him.
[02:04:54] And I was kind of like, Darryl Bash Darrell.
[02:04:58] But David Crosby, what else are you going to do?
[02:05:01] You know,
[02:05:03] you know, but it's he said some good, but, you know,
[02:05:06] I missed the old.
[02:05:08] I missed that old.
[02:05:10] Filtered jets.
[02:05:11] Yeah.
[02:05:12] I mean, I definitely get that.
[02:05:15] But you know,
[02:05:17] I feel like this is more of an apples and oranges kind of like
[02:05:20] with the whole jacket.
[02:05:21] Like do you want, I, I almost like, you know,
[02:05:27] Metallica fans they want Metallica to play ride the
[02:05:30] lightning and master.
[02:05:32] Guys are in their fifties.
[02:05:34] They're not those guys anymore.
[02:05:35] Yeah.
[02:05:36] When I was working in the last year,
[02:05:39] that shit sets me.
[02:05:41] I have a great job.
[02:05:43] He's a guy walks into a television soft.
[02:05:47] This.
[02:05:48] And says, am I going to make for you?
[02:05:51] So a mother, a daughter, a father.
[02:05:55] And the fast work.
[02:05:57] I'd actually interviewed Groucho.
[02:06:00] Oh, God.
[02:06:01] The closest you got is Don Rickles and Milton Burl was one of his
[02:06:06] first.
[02:06:07] I don't know if you guys know what he's referring to.
[02:06:10] Gilbert would go into these.
[02:06:12] Long bits on the stern show of old groucho on the,
[02:06:16] the cabbage show.
[02:06:17] That's true.
[02:06:18] You do that.
[02:06:20] It's just getting back to what you said.
[02:06:22] I'm facing his.
[02:06:24] Formance off of.
[02:06:24] I definitely understand, you know,
[02:06:27] not missing the old stern show the way it used to be on that.
[02:06:32] There's not one week that goes by where I don't, you know,
[02:06:35] pull up an old clip on YouTube, something that I've listened to a
[02:06:37] thousand times.
[02:06:38] I still hear it.
[02:06:41] It's kind of like, I mean, Mike keeps talking about how he brings
[02:06:44] out his national ampoum albums and I'll put on a Conan clip.
[02:06:49] But yeah, Howard's kind of a close second. Just one of the,
[02:06:51] I mean, I don't.
[02:06:52] I, I, my brother got me serious XM two years ago and I was like,
[02:06:56] you never have to get me anything ever again.
[02:06:58] Like I'm listening to electronic music on the way to work and then
[02:07:02] I'm listening to these interviews and creating my own metal channels.
[02:07:06] So yeah, I really don't need anything.
[02:07:08] I've said goodbye to actual radio now.
[02:07:11] Yeah.
[02:07:11] I can't listen to the radio.
[02:07:12] And the sad thing is radio now has great since we've been
[02:07:16] talking about that radio has become a dying art now because
[02:07:19] I've noticed very unimaginative as very.
[02:07:24] It's unimaginative.
[02:07:25] The DJs are there now.
[02:07:28] They're just like playing rude. Like, well, you're like,
[02:07:31] why would you ask anyone that? And why is that comedy?
[02:07:34] You know, it's like,
[02:07:35] when they were trying it out in the nineties,
[02:07:38] it was like both a test run and it was kind of again,
[02:07:42] just kind of mastering the art.
[02:07:45] It wasn't always perfect.
[02:07:46] And some again, some of that wouldn't fly today.
[02:07:48] But I want to say probably by maybe 05, 07.
[02:07:53] I just felt like there's so many DJs is like,
[02:07:56] how did you even get your job? Like you're just rude.
[02:07:59] You're just mean. The thing that happened out here was we had
[02:08:04] our oldie station one on one point one.
[02:08:07] CBS FM.
[02:08:08] The last day they were on.
[02:08:10] They played the summer win by Frank Sinatra.
[02:08:13] I was like, Oh, okay.
[02:08:15] It went quiet.
[02:08:17] And they start this other station came on.
[02:08:20] It was called Jack FM.
[02:08:23] Yes.
[02:08:24] Was a, uh, like an autoplay thing. Like, you know,
[02:08:28] they would play whatever they wanted. Right.
[02:08:30] It's a statewide thing. Yeah. Yeah.
[02:08:34] Um, it's like an iPod on the radio and everybody flipped out
[02:08:39] here in New York.
[02:08:40] Oh, I bet everybody was like, we can't stand and one on one point.
[02:08:43] One went from like third to like 20th in the ratings.
[02:08:48] And they brought CBS FM back.
[02:08:52] That was later. Yeah.
[02:08:54] Yeah. Um, the great thing was that they had a lot of the old DJs
[02:08:58] come on like Norman Knight and, uh, you know,
[02:09:01] Don K Reed and all those guys,
[02:09:03] some of the guys were around for a little while then they left
[02:09:05] like, you know, Cousin Brucey left and, uh, you know,
[02:09:09] you know, a lot of the guys were retired. No.
[02:09:11] I remember that day because Mickey Dolan's was doing his 100th
[02:09:15] show as the morning show host.
[02:09:17] Wow.
[02:09:19] He just, he just, I came in and they were just like, okay,
[02:09:22] here's a box. You're done. And they're like, what, what,
[02:09:24] what happened? We were like, right in the range. Yeah.
[02:09:26] We're switching formats today. They were, they were doing that.
[02:09:30] A lot of the stations we have here are gone now. WXRK is gone.
[02:09:35] W, any W's gone? WPLJ was, which was a big main state.
[02:09:41] They went from like top 40 to rock and roll to dance to, you know,
[02:09:46] whatever they're going now. Um, I don't see 100 still around.
[02:09:52] I don't remember.
[02:09:53] It's kind of like all these old, all these stations are starting
[02:09:57] to like, you need to switch formats or, you know,
[02:10:00] they're looking at satellite going.
[02:10:04] Uh, you know,
[02:10:05] you got clear channels still you got.
[02:10:10] Um, we have a metal station that's a college radio station in
[02:10:16] DFW and they joke is like, why does the college station have
[02:10:21] to be the last source of hard rock?
[02:10:23] And you got to realize too, back in the 80s when everybody was
[02:10:29] going to the right of the dial, which was, you know, the main
[02:10:32] stairs.
[02:10:34] Yeah.
[02:10:35] Left of the dial with all the college stations playing whatever
[02:10:39] they wanted to play, you know, and that was the great thing
[02:10:42] because I did radio in college.
[02:10:47] And I'll tell you when you're in college and they're telling
[02:10:50] you to become a DJ, you have to follow their rules.
[02:10:55] And, you know, I saw some guys, they went out, they did well.
[02:10:59] Some guys bombed out, bombed out because they, you know, and I
[02:11:06] did the independent station, I did the campus radio station,
[02:11:09] which was fun.
[02:11:10] I couldn't do the big radio station, you know, because I had to
[02:11:16] get, I had to get there six o'clock in the morning, do the
[02:11:18] morning shift.
[02:11:18] Oh, that's, yeah.
[02:11:22] I'm just my old radio station of 98 YCR and they turned into the
[02:11:27] fucking peak.
[02:11:28] And I'm like, what the hell's the peak?
[02:11:32] What state is that in again?
[02:11:33] It's all 98 YCR was stationed in Pennsylvania.
[02:11:38] I'm in Maryland, but I could pick that up.
[02:11:40] Alright, so YCR was what?
[02:11:44] FM.
[02:11:46] Okay.
[02:11:46] Yeah.
[02:11:47] No, he was at rock, you know.
[02:11:49] Yeah, they were mostly rock and today's hits and all that.
[02:11:52] Yeah.
[02:11:53] Top five and eight pop hits and all that shit.
[02:11:55] It was nice.
[02:11:56] And then it was like, all we're switching to the peak.
[02:12:00] And I'm like, whoa.
[02:12:01] Fuck is the peak?
[02:12:03] And then.
[02:12:05] Like labels that don't really stick or you're like, yeah,
[02:12:07] for real.
[02:12:08] And then it stops.
[02:12:10] Say it like I mean it.
[02:12:11] Yeah, for real.
[02:12:12] And people used to call in all the time make great dedications and
[02:12:16] shit.
[02:12:17] I miss those days.
[02:12:18] Yeah.
[02:12:19] The interactivity has kind of gone too.
[02:12:22] Like half the time it just feels like paid.
[02:12:25] Interviewers like just.
[02:12:26] It's like, or something like your stuff.
[02:12:29] You're a great person.
[02:12:30] Thank you for coming on.
[02:12:32] Yeah.
[02:12:32] If you want us to play your.
[02:12:35] Fan mail.
[02:12:36] It's got to be something generic like I listen to the station
[02:12:39] all the time.
[02:12:42] I hate those chipper bastards.
[02:12:46] So to me.
[02:12:48] Yeah.
[02:12:49] I used to remember like people calling him from my school
[02:12:52] dedicating records to each other.
[02:12:55] That was always awesome.
[02:12:57] Yeah.
[02:12:57] And then you find out later in like two days later,
[02:12:59] they broke up and you're going to be like.
[02:13:02] There's one down.
[02:13:04] Oh,
[02:13:05] you love birds out there.
[02:13:06] And they're like,
[02:13:06] I'm going to be like,
[02:13:06] I just lost one.
[02:13:07] You had another one by dust.
[02:13:11] Fucking asshole.
[02:13:14] This is from Rob to Lisa. Hey,
[02:13:17] I still love you and I respect you.
[02:13:19] But hey, here we go.
[02:13:20] Health or skelter by the Beatles.
[02:13:25] Back to.
[02:13:26] Back to a standup.
[02:13:27] I did a thing called famous songs done by famous people.
[02:13:30] And I did a bit with Casey Casey.
[02:13:33] Where they said that here's a request and dedication.
[02:13:37] Listen, listen to right.
[02:13:38] Dear Casey, I hate the world and everything in it.
[02:13:41] I wish everyone would die in a fiery pit.
[02:13:44] Could you please play when beneath my wings?
[02:13:50] You know, it gets me.
[02:13:51] You know, it gets me now.
[02:13:52] What like all the guys that were like top like Casey Casey
[02:13:56] was such a mainstay when we were growing up.
[02:14:00] And if you guys ever hear him talk about the dead dog.
[02:14:03] With, you know,
[02:14:05] I mean, you got to hear that.
[02:14:07] That's fucking hilarious.
[02:14:09] Oh, I mean, that's, that's classic.
[02:14:12] Yeah.
[02:14:12] Is it wrong? Can you get down on the phone? All right. Listen,
[02:14:15] how many goddamn times when I told them not to play a goddamn
[02:14:19] upbeat record out of a dead,
[02:14:22] the goddamn dead dog.
[02:14:24] Dedication.
[02:14:27] Jesus Christ.
[02:14:28] Good Dolly Miss Molly.
[02:14:33] It goes to your Casey.
[02:14:35] Last week I found out my girlfriend was pregnant.
[02:14:38] This week I thought that I lost my job.
[02:14:41] Can you play all by myself by Eric Carmen?
[02:14:47] Wow.
[02:14:50] But this was really fun.
[02:14:53] And we went even deeper down the road.
[02:14:55] And I'm going to put some more different stuff on there.
[02:14:55] I was just getting down down the wormhole.
[02:14:56] Then I even thought we would just cause well,
[02:14:59] there's so much to pick up.
[02:15:00] Yeah.
[02:15:01] But there's so much you all.
[02:15:02] Absolutely.
[02:15:03] But we'll go.
[02:15:06] How are shirts penis.
[02:15:08] Sorry for just being a spectator on this one.
[02:15:15] Hopefully we entertain you.
[02:15:17] Yeah.
[02:15:18] You only love having you on.
[02:15:20] I love having all of you.
[02:15:21] That was an action packed roster and hopefully Tommy enjoyed your haircut.
[02:15:28] I did.
[02:15:30] Hopefully get at least one new listener out of it.
[02:15:34] Right.
[02:15:35] Something they can't see.
[02:15:37] I can't see these people but I'm going to guess they're all attractive.
[02:15:41] I'm like, oh we're doing a face reveal in our 100 podcast.
[02:15:45] You don't look how you're supposed to.
[02:15:48] Look how you were pictured in my and so I actually lost five people on
[02:15:53] Twitter over me posting my weight loss journey.
[02:15:56] I'm like, they fucking idiots.
[02:15:59] Oh God.
[02:16:00] I'm proud of really.
[02:16:02] I'm looking for your fucking approvals like fuck this is where I'm at.
[02:16:07] I don't need permission to be held.
[02:16:10] You know, I'm one of those people.
[02:16:11] You'll be helping.
[02:16:13] Right.
[02:16:15] You gotta be supportive of people.
[02:16:18] It's an underrated aspect.
[02:16:20] It's just like, let me re talking earlier.
[02:16:22] It seems like a lot of people want it if you weren't making fun of
[02:16:26] them to where they lose feel bad about themselves.
[02:16:30] If you weren't bullied in some way for entertainment, it just
[02:16:33] seemed like.
[02:16:35] That means spirit in nature just kept carrying on and it still kind
[02:16:39] of exists in all those reality shows, which is why I don't like reality TV
[02:16:42] is like if someone loses, then why do I want to see that?
[02:16:46] I don't get off on that.
[02:16:48] I don't know.
[02:16:50] Childish.
[02:16:51] I miss when learning channel was about learning.
[02:16:55] Yeah, right?
[02:16:56] Instead of how to get surgery.
[02:17:00] Fuck the Kardashians.
[02:17:03] That's all he is now, which is why I can't say that also.
[02:17:06] Yeah.
