In addition to what everyone else said I believe he reached out to “help” Artie. Most likely they did drugs together looking back on things. Last Chance posted:barbra booey Literally classic.

I listen to old Stern stuff at work and at the gym, helps to pass the time. I'm on 1994 right now so all sorts of stuff going on, especially as OJ just got caught. It's weird when you get stuff on there that is relevant to today's current events (minus all the obvious trump stuff) -- I just heard one where Howard goes "...And now we have Robin's God coming on..." "...My "god? She's not my god, hahahaha, she's an inspirational speaker blah blah blah" It was Marianne Williamson, and I guess I never knew that she had such a long career since I never heard of her before this year's race. I wanted to start writing down some asides that were either just hilarious on-the-spot moments, or ones which are really prescient, but usually I'm too busy lifting weights like Gay KC

Dr drew and another doctor hit her with the 34. The other doctor had an Asian last name so after being labeled a 34 she shrugged the diagnosis off by accusing the other doctor of not knowing English. He clearly spoke English. Lol she's a mess.

I don't have any years other than 94 in that range currently, but I agree about that being the pinnacle of the show, the stuff with Billy West and Jackie is just the best. There are some episodes where I'm laughing for almost 3 hours straight it seems -- relentlessly goofing on Gary's teeth, Stuttering John busting everyone's balls and Fred doing the imitation and tripping him up, everybody imitating Jackie (except Robin's impression which I hated), Jackie laugh drops during the news, etc. I'm a big Jackie fan apparently. In the context of the show he was perfect. I'm also listening to the 2002 (I think) era online and it's when Artie was pretty fresh still and it shows -- he was genuinely laughing and obviously having a great time. Good fun

Listening to old shows reminds me of all the great ideas they had for random pranks and bits on almost a daily basis. Here's one where they found out Tom Chiusano was giving the interns a big speech, so Howard, Fred, and Jackie got to the interns first and wrote a bunch of offensive questions for them to ask Tom while they secretly recorded it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNFdpGfi7Wc YeahTubaMike posted:I just listened to the episode where John was subletting his apartment to Gange & Grillo and they refused to leave when he got evicted.

It reminds me of the argument between Shuli and Doug Goodstein over the baby clothes and car seat. It gets my blood pressure up.

I still have never laughed harder in my life than Howard goofing on Louis Farrakhan’s speech the day after the Million Man March. I am sure it hasn’t aged well but I remember not being able to breathe I was laughing so hard when it was originally on. Also goofing on Jackie is the greatest thing. When they go into depth about Jackie’s three houses, his lovely piece of wood in the jetty, cooking lobsters in a trash can. All gold.

I mean holy moly though, they really let the n-word fly on the show back then. I loved Jackie stories and tearing him apart, but all told, it sounded like hanging out at one of his parties would have been super fun. Like the only guy on the show who liked to be social and live it up once in a while. Well, aside from Stuttering John but he was a totally classless fool -- I heard the one SJ interview where he goes up to Conan, when Conan was just starting and getting terrible ratings, so he was doing his whole goofing on celebs thing but Conan turned it around on him since he listened to the show, and was talking about SJ embarrassing Howard by smoking weed out in the open at a hotel or the like. I liked SJ's schtick on the show (d-d--d-d-ddid you evah fawht in the catcha's face?) but it was even better hearing somebody gently caress back with him.

Zoben posted:Marge Schott was killer. I mean holy moly though, they really let the n-word fly on the show back then. Well when you go back and listen to a lot of the racial stuff from back then it is almost entirely ridiculing the racists. Like for example Daniel Carver was effectively on there to get made fun of him being a crazy racist. And Howard really is an unsung hero of making homosexuality much more accepted by having gay people and subjects a part of his show since the 80s. He treated gay people no different than straight people which especially in the 80s and early 90s was a very rare thing. I think the biggest thing about the show back then that is utterly gone now is that they had no problem goofing on anything or anyone. Like it is perfectly acceptable to goof on racists for being racists and to goof on Louis Farrakhan. With today’s political climate it is impossible for anyone to have the nuance to not take it the wrong way. It is an issue with comedy across the board. At some point I feel someone will start pushing the boundaries again. It is almost inevitable at this point.

I think Howard experienced later what Chappelle experienced on his show, which is people laughing at it for the wrong reasons. At some point “ironic” racism just kind of turned into racism, especially looking at the blow back from the 08 election. It’s funny when “you’re not supposed to say this”. It’s less funny when people are burning lynched Obama effigies. I’m not saying stern is all that self reflective, but his management and people around him are, like Beth. So he turns the corner, dials stuff back over time, drops dudes like Gilbert who can’t be trusted to not run with the n word, and retreats into a safer style. And it’s fine, it’s worked out for him, he still makes a trillion dollars whether part of his fan base complains or not. Most of them still listen. Look I go back and listen to stuff like billy doing Nelson Mandela, and it’s really funny but holy poo poo is it racist af, and nowadays it would be indistinguishable from something some channer would make and post to YouTube or twitter. Like a lot of the jokes aren’t that far from sals black haunted house bit.

It's even more frustrating when you watch the video and you see Gange smugly crossing his arms, listening & agreeing to every point, and STILL refusing to leave despite the fact that he had a safe haven that he could easily retreat to while he sorted himself out. I mean, of course Grillo should have agreed to leave too, but unlike Gange, he was at least completely hosed by the situation with no place to go, as he whined several times. quote:It reminds me of the argument between Shuli and Doug Goodstein over the baby clothes and car seat.

Can we all admit that SJ is a total hack? He got famous by being shameless with funny things that other people wrote for him. He survived on the show by shamelessly throwing anyone under the bus. Don't get me wrong, his involvement in the show made a lot of hilarious things, but he definitely was more of a staff wack packer than producer/writer. He got his payday going to Leno (who knows why they thought that would work, but it was Scott the Engineer's shining moment), but they basically gave up on him quickly and he hasn't worked since. ...And podcasts where you complain about a job you left 15 years ago doesn't count.

I think that is something that happens to any sort of progressive art though, once it breaks through to the mainstream you have a lot of people who you are talking about become fans of your art. The Nirvana song "In Bloom" is basically about this. It is a double edged sword in many respects. Though I do feel like it is defeatist to just run from your art because the wrong people are taking it the wrong way. Alas that is an entirely different conversation.

I agree with all of this, don't get me wrong -- especially mocking racists, and he'd say "why does anybody have a problem with gay people getting married? It's so stupid that anybody would care." It was definitely a rare thing for someone to say that back then and I think that he had an influence on lots of his fans who were likely racist and/or homophobic who might have reconsidered their bigoted stances. The only thing I meant which is shocking in the context of today's society is that you've got a white guy freely saying the n word. Even though it was meant to be in an anti-racist manner, it's just not done anymore.

People missing the nuance, which is always going to happen when you reach such a wide audience. I also laugh at all the Billy West stuff and him and Howard doing the minstrel poo poo when Fred would play Turkey in the Straw and they'd get into "looky here" and yes.....similar to Sal's bits like "Okays, I's be approachings the podiums...."

I have been through the baby clothes stage twice, and the whole situation between those two is absolutely infuriating. I don't know how non-parents view that whole debacle, but once the clothing is done and given away, you HAVE to treat them like anything else you give away; it's not yours anymore, no matter what.

Johnny-on-the-Spot posted:It was a different era, but yeah, some people took more glee in it than others. At least they made it obvious how ugly it could be. I think you hit a nail on the head there. In the 90s you had people who actively remembered the civil rights movement still around and vividly remembered how ugly it could be. Many of these people are now gone. We have people who actively encourage racism to score political points. I think the bigger issue with race today is those that are effected most by racism collectively don’t have the will today to fight against it like they did in the 50s and 60s. It seems anymore the people most sensitive and/or offended by anything dealing with race are the “woke” white people. I realized something a few weeks ago the kind of blew my mind. The “cancel culture” is basically using the playbook from the right wing from the 80s and 90s. You had all of those WASP women going on TV being outraged about metal, rap, Married with Children, the Simpsons, Roseanne and the list goes on and on. Hell you had those same people go after Stern for decades. Society has become much more liberal in terms of entertainment so the right lost their leverage there. It really does seem to be that people seem to not be able to understand the concept that you can talk and joke about race without being a racist. In fact being open and honest with humor is a good way to be able to deal with problems in general. Hell black comedians have addressed and dealt with issues within the black community for decades using comedy. The fact that race has become such a taboo subject in general that many comedians don’t feel comfortable addressing it at all means we are missing out on perspective and dialog from a generation that at this time we sorely need.

If I tell them to take what they want, and they take what they want, it's theirs, even if they end up selling it for crack or something. Why was Doug's wife eyeballing what Shuli was & wasn't using? That in itself is weird as hell.
