Robin and John had a very similar relationship to Robin and Jackie and honestly, I think there was some sexual tension in both relationships that gave them their goods and their bads.

I thought Robin and John actually did gently caress, but I'm probably mistaken on that.

The aj vs John clip is one of the few I like Tom in. He's the only one who's disconnected from the drama of the show to simply say, "it's unacceptable, he needs to go." gently caress wannabe tough guys.

I wonder what would've happened to Artie if tom were still managing. Tim was manager when the sal stuff went down, right?

That's not even the most satisfying thing to watch when you want John to suffer. Him being humiliated by Marco Battaglia in the 100 yard dash is great because John had enormous delusions of grandeur related to his physicality. Howard tearing him up for his DJ work was another (he had a job doing a couple hours after the Stern show) because it was something John cared about and Howard just lets him have it and calls him a wanna-be Howard. The best to me, though, was when a new program director was hired and he comes in and fires John from his DJ job on the air. John gets extremely mad instantly and starts lashing out at the guy and then the crew just pile on John for it and it's like 45 minutes of just shredding him to pieces and laughing at him for being fired.

Here we go:

being fired - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w33bEk8fGRs

sorry I can't find Howard shredding John's DJ work but that's only ever been in video, I've never seen someone just throw up the audio. I actually never found just the audio of him being fired either but that's recent. Kinda sad because John gets visibly frustrated and you can tell he's holding back going off on everyone because he knows the retribution will be worse.

I love that Howard wouldn't call the new program director by his real name, only by his former on-air name of Chuck Roast. "Hey here's the new program director, Chuck Roast!"

I totally forgot about that Stuttering John Arena football bit. That is great. Even after John's boxing training he was still a short stubby guy that wouldn't even make a low tier college team, let alone a professional team.

This is one of the bits that I'm sure was pre-planned. Marco was a personal friend of Howard's and this was him trying to help Marco get some press at a time when he was looking to be hired by a new team.

Then Marco crushed Howard's thumb at the Gym and they never spoke again.

Jackie's been clean for a long time and probably has kept a normal sleep schedule for a few decades so that will help tremendously as well. He was always in a lot better shape than it seemed, he often just had a beer gut that obscured it. He used to lose and gain weight pretty regularly on the show but I seem to recall the last time I saw him in studio like a decade ago he was in his 60s and looked pretty drat good.

Jackie will most likely outlive them all as both he and Howard always postulated. It'll be interesting since Fred is active and seems to be very low stress while Howard is quite healthy and eats well but undoubtedly has a lot of stress in his life (both existing and made up from his neuroses). All 3 could live for some time, I think.

There was a great phone call where Nicole was begging for money after her husband got in a car accident. Howard picks up on Siobhan during the call who starts getting mad that Nicole was begging for money and that she needs money more and that they don't help her out enough. I forgot exactly how it ended, but I think he had a prize from a sponsor, but he would only give it to one of them. So he made them plead their cases and had the staff vote for who gets the money.

She was always a bodybuilder, I think the wrestling and fetish stuff she did was to supplement her income since I doubt female bodybuilding pays the bills well, especially 15-20+ years ago. I doubt the amount of roids she dumped into her body did her any favors in the long run.

I know Tom was mentioned a few posts back. He really was the best foil for Howard at the time. Tons of classic Stern bits were due to Tom just being Tom. He has a deep history on the show and is just as worthy of a dump truck of money as anyone else.
Tom survived cancer and then had to deal with Howard literally telling him every day that "he wished the cancer had taken him"

He was great for the show and he understood his role to boot. 80% of what Howard said was a goof and while I don't doubt that they butted heads Howard never really thought bad of the guy and he's one of the few people who moved on from working with Howard that didn't develop a contentious relationship with him.

All of that is a great example of how dumb Sal is because when he was hired (as a result of Tom telling Howard to bring him in along with Richard, who won the contest) he didn't understand that Howard vs Tom was a put-on for the radio and he immediately wrong horrific song parodies about Tom and generally tried to make life hell on Tom despite not knowing the man at all. Sal is exactly what his IQ says of him.

Yeah, this is very astute, and I totally remember it happening. Howard would still play Sal's stuff on the air, and I remember him being kind of shocked. It was one of his first warnings about who Sal really was, I think this was before the "stay over your house and hangout" bit.

If done right, people shouldn't get hurt. They're supposed to pull up right before the point of impact and just make it look like the flying elbows are devastating when it might not even touch them. Wrestlers who hurt others are known as bad wrestlers.

I have mixed feelings about Foley. As a teenager I thought he was cool as hell because he was the guy who would purposely put his body in harms way to make a match entertaining. I still like the guy, but he influenced a style of wrestling where untrained people would staple each other and give each other brain damage with folding chairs for pittance thinking they could make the big time.

The "art" to pro wrestling, if you would call it an art, is to put on a show that makes the audience suspend their disbelief and get absorbed into the action without actually killing each other. It's not really acting if you're actually turning your brains into jello with chair-shots.

Now Foley can't ride roller coasters anymore because of his jello brain. :(

Foley did all of that dumb poo poo and it was all totally unnecessary. Nobody cared about him after that cage match. It didn't do anything for him. He was even considering retiring right afterwards on account of people not being into him. It wasn't until he started pulling a sock puppet out of his pants that he became popular. That's all he ever had to do. Be funny. Show off his personality.

The great thing about him was that he was a man of the people. We went to a bar afterwards and he was drinking beer with us. We went into the bathroom and I sucked his cock. It was huge. The guy was just a real good sport and all that poo poo. I loved him.
