Being on The Amazing Race isn't a career move. It is a thing people without careers do.

What season were the twins on?
I was on an early season, but I don't remember them from any of the cbs parties.

I was 21 when they interviewed me for the show. It was one of those things you are stupidly proud of at that age.
We lost in the 4th episode, but according to wikipedia or imdb or something we are the team that came in first the most amount of times without winning the show.

Scott was gone by my season. I think he was there for 1 or 2. Which was a shame, because my dad and I are both Stern fans and would have hosed with him.
I did meet THE CREATOR OF COPS though.
Turns out he also created The Amazing Race.

My dad asked me to apply with him because his chosen partner (my brother) was too young.
We got chosen because I wrote about this aspect of our relationship in our essays, and made fun of him for being old and square when he tried to get me to recite pre-written lines for our audition tape.
Mom thought it was funnier than what he wanted to do, so she sent in the outtakes.


Also, I tried to say Ba Ba Booey as many times as possible during filming, but it never made it to air. Howard did rage about me saying tits on CBS a few weeks after he'd been fined for it. It was the closest I ever came to being on the show.

Chip and Reichen are douchebags (and were douchebags on the show), Chuck (the virgin) was most definitely a real virgin. They broke up though and I don't know what happened after that.

That's funny/sad/awesome that they fruitlessly broke up after 12 years of saving themselves for whatever it is those types of people think they're saving themselves for. I knew a couple of supervirgins like that in high school, I'm pretty sure almost all of them ended up becoming slutty pre-marital banging machines once they realized what a sham the whole thing was.

Any other players that you've met at the cast parties over the years who turned out to be interesting?

My dad and Steve the air traffic controller are still friends, and talk often.
I only ever went to two cast parties, and the biggest shock for me was that Flo was not a oval office.
I wasn't familiar with the show when we applied, but when we got selected for interviews I watched the season she was on, and man she's way cool in person. Uh, beyond that it's pretty easy to tell who is going to be pretty nice, and who is a sleazeball.

Back on the Stern topic, listening to JD yesterday reminded me of the horrible awkward nerd I once was, and what I could have become without family support. I even won my 8th grade spelling bee (though I don't have any old school trophies because I am not mental.)
I think that's why I find JD so interesting. He's the "Manifest that could have been."

Yeah, I think Howard sees that in JD too, which is why he's more protective of the guy than he ever has been with other underlings (despite all the mocking JD gets.)

JD as The Ghost of Universes Possible - or whatever - if Awkward Younger Howard hadn't successfully created the Howard Stern Personality and made it work.

Care to elaborate? I don't listen to the show anymore (don't have time for 10 hours of "content" every 2 months now that I listed to Artie rage-hate on the twins).
I'm a Bam fan, so I'm interested...

I only caught some of it but apparently a woman broke into Bams house and started kissing him. He looked over thinking it was his girlfriend but she was asleep still next to him. It was some homeless woman sleeping in the casino tree house or some poo poo. Personally I think Bam is a douche. But the story was pretty funny.

I was curious about Sal's weird hair growing light helmet, and while it is appropriately stupid looking, I was surprised by how much weight Sal has lost. I barely even recognized him.










Jesse Ventura, on the other hand, is as crazy looking as ever.

:lol: look how long Sal is growing out his hair now. He used to keep it fairly neat and short and now he must be terrified of losing it and is just letting it grow like crazy.

And Ventura has done enough peyote to last a lifetime now.

It's a hosed-up world when Sal has a helmet that will grow him hair, but I can't find a good, quality helmet to give me a scalp massage. :argh:

And Jesse Ventura had Warren Zevon play at his inauguration, so he'll always have that going for him in my book. :colbert:
