I can't dispute anything you've said but just thinking about Richard makes me laugh and no one else on the show does that. Just dumb poo poo like calling up the "Talking Yankees" show and asking about the weather over and over. "When are we gonna get some rain?" No one else can make that funny, but Richard giggling as he asks annoying questions gets me every time.

Can anyone paraphrase what he said? I haven't listened to the show live since probably when I first started posting in this thread (holy poo poo, that was almost 5 years ago :corsair:)

The last live show I can remember listening to was when Artie attacked Teddy.

I love Richard precisely because he makes calls about WEATHER stupid funny. It's so innocent and inoffensive, nothing like Sal would do, and it loving works beautifully.

Right, every time I hear Richard do that schtick, all I can think is how many hours the poor guy was trapped listen to some dumbass relative of his ramble on and on like that... It just comes right off the top of his head, so he's clearly heard plenty of it, and he knows that country rubes are too polite on the phone to cut him off.

Hi, it’s Ethel, how are ya’?

I see they’re doing our 50th class reunion this year.

Ah, it’ll be good to see you again, how you been?

Ethel Blumpkin, you remember me.

Lipschitz

Now you remember, right? Our memories aren’t what they used to be.

Do you know if Fred Norris is coming?

He was my sweetie in high school. You remember Fred Norris when he put the snake in my panties freshman year, right? You remember that? You don’t remember that?

You remember Artie Lange? I see him every once in a while.

Yep, Class of ’58.

Remember Artie Lange stuck the firecracker in Principal Stern’s peehole and his balls exploded all over Secretary Quivers’ dress?

That was Artie Lange. Yeah.

Do you remember vice principal Langford. You remember when he got bit by that werewolf and y, I think it was you that shot him with the silver bullet?

You remember that giant lizard that came through town and stomped on all those buildings back in ’57?

You remember that year when we built that snowman and uh, and Jim McClure put a hat on it and it came to life?

Yeah, we had some good times back then.

You remember Lisa G, right? The librarian.

You remember when she stuck a BB gun in her vagina and shot her cat’s eye out by accident?

Bye.

So, Talking Yankees... that was on public access in New York? How did he manage that? Wouldn't free studio time in the NYC market be in huge demand? How many public access channels are there?

Also, what kind of numbers do you think he got, just from being in such a populated area?

LOL country rube, not familiar with the ludicrous amount of Public Access TV in NYC.

They used to run soft core gay porn, among other things:

Richard, this is your dad. Your sister heard about those New York public access television channels and she said she knew of a fella that went on there and was doing all sorts of crazy stuff. Well, anyway, you be safe. Talk to you later bub


So ya, there was a ruling by the FCC in the 70s that the top 50? TV markets in the country had to provide a certain number of channels for public access, local political stuff etc...
The problem was that they didnt mandate anything else, so to just be in compliance with the FCC the stations had to just do it and that led to a large amount of screw ball shows, random talk shows etc...
To my knowledge, the law is still in existence, but may have finally gotten some regulation during the 90s and 2000s

My understanding is that most shows would actually pay for broadcast time, as long as it was for "entertainment" and not promotion. So of course this has mostly died out due to the internet and people not watching much live broadcast TV any more.

In Philly we had RJ. He ran a public access talkshow that was super cheap, just him standing in front a badly painted cardboard sign that said "RJ". He would stand there with a telephone, take calls and try and riff off of them. As far as public access went, it wasn't too bad, but my friends and i used to make a game of getting really stoned and calling in to harass him. We never got to Richard's level, but it was fun. Dude would get PISSED!

Manhattan public access is not something I am familiar with, considering I lived in Brooklyn...though BCAT (Brooklyn public access) was pretty bad too. I could be wrong, but you have to pay to get on it...which does keep away the riff-raff, but doesn't shock me at all that people like Jonah are on it.

I saw Hillbilly Jim wrassle that night and the great thing about him is that he was a man of the people. We went to a bar afterwards and he was drinking beer with us and, you know, we went into the bathroom and I sucked his cock. It was huge. The guy was just a real good sport.

I wasn't kidding about the gay porn.

Summer of 91, I was visiting my buddy in Greenwich village. We walk into the apartment, and right on the TV are two muscular naked guys licking each other's assholes. I had never even seen a gay kiss, let alone gay porn, so I was shocked.

"What the hell is this?"

My friend's gay friend, who went by "Peaches", was the one sitting there watching TV. I must have looked like a total bumpkin, so he gets all excited and sings out in his fruity lisp, "Public Access TV, sweetie, welcome to New York!".

I work in public access as a broadcast engineer. These days it's either armchair stock analysts fighting to be the next Suze Orman, or political talk shows that fight over what small town state government representative they can get for a 5 minute interview segment.
