So I have a child, and I have a little kitten that I just adopted.
So money, money, money, and there's like litter all over.
Speaker 3My house and but you love it.
You know, that's the thing.
When you love something, you clean it up and you guys I have like a daughter, a ka or so who's basically a teenager who wants Chanel bags iPhones.
Speaker 2Oh.
Also, my car insurance just doubled by three times.
I just been putting that out.
Speaker 1You had to stop your insurance scam.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Wait, so you're just registering now where you actually live.
Yeah, because you were writing the scam where you were registered to your mother's where insurance is a lot less, a lot cheaper.
Speaker 2And now I'm paying three times more.
Speaker 1You're paying how much now?
Speaker 2Two hundred and seventy dollars a month?
Speaker 1For understand?
This is why we desperately need yourself even has to buy litter and also medication.
I got scammedy the vet of the day.
So we're supposed to get his one free VET visit with the adoption from the place we adopted with, so go in.
But he's had a little bit of a cold.
Okay, he was on antibiotics before we got him.
He's getting better, it's totally fine.
We're going he's still a little bit sniffy, and then the vet is like, oh, I don't want to give him the raby shot today because he's still sniffly.
So actually I'm prescribing you this I drop.
So basically he was kind of being like, I'm not going to give you the shot today.
You have to come back and pay for another visit to get the shot.
And I'm a little bit like you're basically saying he's completely fine.
He just has like a little bit of a cold and.
Speaker 3Right, and you want it actually, like, oh, actually come back next Tuesday.

Speaker 2Upper West Side.
Speaker 1Like a shelter.
You're fully moving to a shelter, you guys.
It's rough out there.
It's bad.
Okay, So what book did we decide to read to celebrate?
Speaker 2Okay?
Speaker 3Kind of a meta choice it seemed like the only choice.
Speaker 1Kind of yeah, I was ultimately the only choice, the king of radio, the king of all media.
As you once said, Howard fucking Dark, I was so fucking empowered.
So we read this with this weekend we both want.
We're talking about Private Private Parts, which is his memoir from the nineties that was turned into a movie starring him.
Speaker 2As and Robin Quivers and Fred and Stuttering.
Speaker 1John and Baba Boi's in the movie too, the whole crew.
And I'm reading this book, I'm watching this movie.
I'm just being like, fu fun Howard, like a I fucking love you Howard for being such a pioneer and like speaking your mind and not letting these fucking suits drag you down.
And his whole career is just like budding heads.
Speaker 2With fucking corporate overlords.
Speaker 1But then showing them whose boss by like winning the ratings.
And I guess that's the one part that's kind of not no.
I know.
Speaker 2I was like, oh, this is just so us, We're being so crazy.
Speaker 3But then it's like all throughout this book and the movie is like FCC is finding you know him every second and the suits hate him.
And then one guy is like in a big wide tie and sheep suit and is like, can't be.
They're like, Howard's a five point nine, he's number one in the market, And I guess with us, the whole thing is we're literally not number one of them.
Speaker 1Movie number one, and they're just being like, huh, your numbers are like really meets.
Speaker 3But on the other hand, I'm saying to our listeners, we have the most incredible We have the most incredible and you make me feel so famous and loved and like funny, yes, no, even if Stephen is saying, Lily, you're taking so long to find a page.
Speaker 1The thing is because like you've been there with us every step of the way.
You appreciate what we do.
You understand the work that goes into it, the work, and you engage, you respond, you show up, you buy it.
You flotter our gms with like tea about Mary Louise Parker.
Speaker 3You're like always sending us like random different Royal Butler's memoirs we need to read.
Speaker 1And doing our live shows has been like such a thrill and meeting you guys and it's giving me so much joy to create this community.
So thank you.
Speaker 2Okay, what I love about Howard.
Speaker 3I mean there's always been like radio plays and there was like other kind of like shock jocks prace.
Speaker 1He says he doesn't like no, and I don't think it was in his intention to shock.
He was just being himself.
Speaker 3A lot of this book is about like when he gets to NBC in his like big fight with NBC and like the rules as Don Imus was there, who's like the canceled chop.
Speaker 1Chock and Don was like the biggest thing in radio, and they were like you have to be more like Don and he was like Donna was boring.
Speaker 3Yeah, Donna's so boring and just like is an actual like bigot is just like doing it for ratings to like say crazy.
Speaker 1Things, and like Howard's just like I don't know, I want to like interview a prostitute and like ask her how many times she came this week?
Which is humanizing.
What was your first like experience with did you listen as good?
Speaker 3I mean I would hear it as a kid, but like I didn't listen to it in the car because like I was listening to Baltasar and Pebbles, the like R and B station and like Pebbles and they were being I mean inspired by kind of what Howard did, of like prank phone.
Speaker 1Calls, and like you had more of a childhood.
Speaker 3I was a little more dulas and I want to hear and just being like I need to hear a biggie.
But also my mom was not going to be playing Howard in the Car.
Speaker 1Like and Howard's cool is like parents literally didn't like it.
Speaker 3Well except for some people who dig grow up listening to the car with their dads to Howard, and then it's like that's a certain type of child Like was your dad playing Howard in the Car?
Speaker 1My father obviously not, No, that's what I'm saying.
But I was listening to it with my nannies, and so I listened to Stern like pretty much every morning for like several years in elementary school.
And I was like, wait, this is like cool.
Speaker 2You're like, wait, this is so epic.
Speaker 1And I think it did like give me I think a more fun super like like an affinity for the fucking freaks of the world and the underclass.
And like, I think this quote that Robin has about him in the book Robin, I think it's very accurate.
It's like shows how he basically has this like completely different attitude towards like.
Speaker 3What we're calling the other Let's say, if it's a prostitute.
Speaker 1Yes, So she is like working in a news she's like the news person.
And like radio was like the format was much more strict back then, and they were like, Okay, if you're going to do a morning show, you need to have a news person.
And so Robin was the newsperson in DC where Howard was moving after he was at Detroit.
He was like working his way up these local radio stations and he wanted someone he could like play with, who could bounce off with.
And he had heard a recording of Robin and had like asked for her, and he is.
Speaker 3Like telling like whatever, like the station managers at Detroit being like I need this oneman.
He like loves her voice and he consents that like she's just chill.
Speaker 1So then her producer, the program director of like the DC station, is like reaching out to Robin.
She's like, Okay, let me play a tape of this guy.
And so Robin goes, this is a little like inside the book that's from Robin.
I was thinking right, like this will make a difference.
She put this tape in the machine, and here came this voice, and I thought, oh my god, Howard was interviewing a prostegue on this tape.
But I never heard anything like it in my life.
You know how people immediately take a sort of adverse serial position when they're talking to someone like a prostitute, like you horrible person, you must have been abused in your life.
Howard wasn't like that at all.
He was asking stuff like how much do you charge?
How many people do you service to day?
He was like a getty kid, just curious about this other person.
It wasn't condemnation.
It wasn't we're up here and we look down on you, you poor dear.
He was just treating this prostitute like everybody else.
I immediately also reservations, and I just said, where do I sign?
Speaker 2That's how cool is that?
I was like, that's.
Speaker 1Distillation of the story.
Yeah, we're curiosity first.
It's humanizing.
Speaker 3It's not like a don Imus, which is just like I'm gonna say crazy things.
Speaker 1Does don Imays even say crazy things?
I feel like he had maybe started to copy Stern at one point.
Speaker 3He was known as a shock drop before.
But it was like crazy and kind of like who cares?
Right, Like in the eighties it was, but what also Howard did that like no one else was doing.
He was bringing in so many guests, and he wasn't being like, oh, I'm bringing in celebrities.
Speaker 1Yes, He's like, I'm interviewing the janitor.
Are like calling the wife of the program director and asking her why she's not fucking the program director enough on.
Speaker 3Air, And it's like his wife is calling in being so like do you have a heart on just like Howard, like you're about to cheat on me?
And then Robin is chiming in just being like, Howard, you've gone too far this time.
Speaker 1To this day, I think Stern is still pretty unique, I.
Speaker 3Think in his interview style and that's why now, like in his like later serious just like I'm seventy era and he is like interviewing like Kathy Griffin and then Barack Obama, right.
Speaker 1But obviously he's more like letter now and it's like and he's like a judge on America.
Speaker 3I think it's like his interview style has always been this much more like I'm not going to do small talk.
I'm also just not going to like ask you about your like latest project.
Yeah, let's just kind of like talk for real.
Speaker 1Right, and he's gonna be like damn, like, so you were married for the seventeen years?
Was that like what was that like?
Right?
Speaker 2And he's saying that even to the janitor.
Speaker 1Right, But I I think, like, you know, back then, it was like revolutionary to be like I'm going to treat like a real person.
I'm like, yes, I'm going to be horny because that's who I am, But like it's not offensive because it's like I am, as Robin says, genuinely curious.
And I think now it's like people would know that they have to be more respectful of a prostitute, but it would be condescending.
Speaker 3Yes, it's kind of like more in this way of like if just like a straight man was having a podcast and he was being kind of like, hey, I'm actually like interviewing awesome sauce sex workers.
Speaker 1Yeah, and there would be this kind of air of just like kind of what Robin's saying, like oh, yeah, poor dear, what happened to you?
Or be like oh, you're so empowered, like you're such a girl, buss, that's so cool, that's so rad.
Speaker 3But he was just being kind of like genuinely like eighties horny, and I mean, also, what's cool about Howard and his whole crew.
It's like compared too of today, It's like they're not in cells, even though.
Speaker 2A lot of his crew are like freaky twenty.
Speaker 3Nine year old version guys.
Yeah, but it's not that same kind of like.
Speaker 1But they're talking about it and they're being open about it, and.
Speaker 3They're just like I would say, this whole book, and I think like Howard's like ethos of like where he came from and why he had his show is because he's just kind of like a weird looking guy who like has a small dick and he has that like insecurity.
But it's also like I'm funny and like, you know, his whole thing is basically.
Speaker 2As many books are about, is wanting to please the father.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And his father was a radio man.
He was always telling him to shut up.
Speaker 1Yeah, And so it's this whole.
Speaker 2Book is Howard being like, dad told me to shut up.
Speaker 1Well.
It's interesting though, because it's like, on the one hand, it's a rebellion against the father telling you to shut up and be like no, I'm going to talk.
I'm going to talk, talk, talk, but it's also being the father, yeah, because like I want to go to father proud.
Every time he gets a new radio job, he's calling his dad being like, get this.
They're offering me twenty eight thousand do the morning show in Hartford.
And it also is like so he grew up as like the one white kid in what's it called Roosevelts, Long Island.
Speaker 2I think Rockville Center, No.
Speaker 1It was he was Rosevelt from the Rockfield and he was just being like my mom was like she was like being such a like liberal do gooder and was just like no, like I love my middle class black like neighbors and like we're staying in this town.
He's just been like I'm getting beat up every single day at school and like everyone is stealing my lunch money and calling me a huge like Jewish honky.
Speaker 3And he's like seven feet tall, like and then he ends up going to be you for like communications for like radio school, and he has like such a like insecurity of like, oh, I'm like such a loser and have such like my still getting late.
Speaker 2He's still getting laid.
Speaker 3And then just like his first wife, Allison's he met in college, it's like he kind of acts like he's so single for so long.
Speaker 1But like he's also like having sex in high school, which is just like, you know.
Speaker 3Some of us weren't as queer folks, like yeah, don't privilege.
Speaker 1We don't have that opportunity or I guess like we didn't, but now they do.
But also, this is what I don't get.
Some like kids are always having sex so young.
No, but also gen Z doesn't have sex, and I'm like, so, wait are they?
Are they not?
Speaker 3I don't know cause those are also like headlines they want us to hear to be like gen Z isn't having sex.
Speaker 1But I'm like, they are because they're on their phones.
But then I'm like, but they're also gay and they're open.
I was.
Speaker 3I was thrifting and there was like a mini Me and Maya at the thrift store and they were like Long Island Rockville Center, butch fem teens at the thrift store dating, like making on, holding hands and like also looking at cargoes, and I.
Speaker 1Was like, hold on, so what was the FM wearing?
Speaker 2Okay, so it was like a little kind of like tight jeans.
Speaker 3Fuck, long hairs, not too big though round.
Speaker 1You're gonna be so hard right now, Okay, can we.
Speaker 3Talk about the boobs in private parts and kind of the boobs in Howard Stern's worlds.
Speaker 1They're all like huge and fake, That's.
Speaker 2What I'm saying.
Speaker 3I'm like, we don't have those, like the fake boobs now, don't look like that.
Speaker 1I don't know, girl, go to Miami, like you walk down the street, like there are massive, huge floating.
Speaker 2No, there's a massive like flotation device face tits.
Speaker 3But the way they are fake in the nineties, I think is different from how they.
Speaker 1It was more now they were more circular.
Speaker 2It was a huge balloon.
Speaker 1They were.
Yeah, they were like softballs, you know what I mean.
Like that's like always like bam up here.
And now they're a little more tear dropping and like more now.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think there's been some progress that's sometime kind of the evolution of the plastic surgery to make it more like just like round and phone Kardashian.
Unless this like huge, you could like put a pin in it.
Speaker 1It was really balloon pop city back then.
Speaker 3Let's talk about I listened to Nick Carter and WBCN in the afternoon.
Speaker 1Oh mama, I listened to.
Speaker 3Afternoon okay and Nick Carter could not be like more of like you know, like Stern was his idol, and he had this thing called every other by Fridays.
Speaker 1That's so us and every other summer No, but yeah that must have like come in supplimin.
Speaker 2No truly and it like this was my full porn.
Speaker 3Like so, by the way, this book Private Parts, it starts off by like a guy pulling over to jerk off to the Hard Sturd show and he was like, I can't believe I'm jerking off to a call in show.
So by Fridays is they would have like a hot buy girl who like went to BC like on BCN and then they would have like hot chicks like call in for her and they would like set her up and the girl would like interview the three girls like vying for her, and then they she would like report back about like their date like a week later.
Speaker 2I was like, off that you and that is what.
Speaker 3Yeah, thrifted acid wash it and soaked mama from that.
Speaker 2And it was always a girl being like I have a piercing on my clip.
Speaker 3Okay, Howard Stern even though like some people may think like oh, like you know, he objectified, It's like no, one else was literally just talking about lesbians as much as Howard start No Think, and it's like, yes, obviously he was being so like in ninety stand up comedy about it and being so I want to prove that like there are lesbians not in carpenter jeans and like hiking boots and was just having like porn stars.
But still he was the only one kind of being like, let's have like like fem for from lesbian salt.
Speaker 1There is this thing and in some ways, like the culture wars kind of are the same now as they were then.
In some ways they've shipped obviously, like there's some stuff that's taboo now that wasn't then and vice versa.
But like it reminds me of that people talk about Nathan Field are being like exploitative, but I'm just like when you watch Nathan show, it's like there are just like real people like being real and like funny.
Yeah, and like he is just like having janitors and like Deli guys on the show and like.
Speaker 2It's just kind of ra and like antique owners.
Speaker 1And it's like I think people are like uncomfortable with that because it's not someone being so media trained and saying that like they're a she boss and so it's like, I mean, I.
Speaker 2Think also the Nathan Fielder thing was like.
Speaker 1Obviously it's separate because he's like an absurdist comedian, but it's like right, people.
Speaker 3Are mad that Howard kind of was like objectifying and everyone's thing is being like you're disgusting.
Speaker 2But if we think about it's.
Speaker 1Like Howard, people are masking their own disgust like with It's like it's like or like where it's just like people are grossed out by like fucking real people.
Guys, They're like grossed out by reality, and like they try to mask that disgust by saying that it's like wrong or exploited it for Howards starting like talk to prostates.
Speaker 2Actually well and if you can see it in the way that.
Speaker 1He's also being horny.
Speaker 3Yes, it's like, yes he's being horny, but he also he wanted to have at first a gay guy dial a date skit on the show, but.
Speaker 1He was like bink Tin Blade put out a story saying they were so happy that like they did this lesbian dial a date.
They were like, oh, like actually, Howard Stern, like even the people call a shock shock is like really giving a voice to.
Speaker 3Our community truly, and it was like, oh, well, let me start with lesbians, because like they're more popular.
They're more popular, even though actually lately.
Speaker 1Now they're not okay, but this is also they was thinking.
I was like, to lesbians, how it's searched, are always like.
Speaker 2Not, well, that's what I'm saying.
They're like porn stars, porn starts.
Speaker 3He wasn't having like elevating like actually awesome for theem.
Speaker 1Right, And then I like today it's like we are kind of the same thing where it's just like the conservative manosphere is just being like, well, like lesbians are just like feminists with like nose parcenes and like that's not hot to me, and like there aren't these like buxome long right, And I feel.
Speaker 3Like I'm also just so stern and my sexuality was shaped by just like hot fem for fast.
Speaker 1Like there aren't any just like.
Speaker 2But there are for thumbs.
I know there are, No, they're not like two bunny exos.
Speaker 3No, I'm sure there are couples that are like, but it's like too hot bunny exos.
Speaker 1I guess like Tampa Bays is like ask I know that as a gas, but like those girls are still being like wide flat brim, you know.
Speaker 3Well one is always a little more footge and Jo just like is being flatbrim, even if they are being kind of Stern and bucks.
Speaker 1But then the famin is not like so like red lips, long blonde hair, She's like a little bit more brunette and tank top.
Speaker 3No Stern had porn stars on.
Okay, but I think we can all agree.
But still I think people wanted to act like that was like so like offensive, yet at the time like they didn't even want to say the word lesbian.
Speaker 1Right, so and he was saying it over and over.
Speaker 2Over and over.
Speaker 3So let's do a little skit here.
Okay, I'll be Lisa by the way.
Just the first chapter of this book is called Lesbians Lesbians, which is iconic.
I'm a blonde.
People tell me I look like Catherine Oxenberg.
I have a really good body.
Speaker 1How big are your breasts?
Speaker 2Thirty sixty?
I think, what do you mean?
I think I know her wear a bra, so I don't know how big I am.
I think I'm a d What.
Speaker 3About your waist twenty four hips thirty six?
Speaker 1And you really dig lesbian?
Speaker 3Yes?
Speaker 1And how old were you when you first had lesbian sex?
Speaker 2Eighteen?
Speaker 1Who with a friend?
Speaker 2No, my mother's friend, an older woman sedus too, Yes, she was thirty two.
Speaker 3I was really frightened when it happened, but it ended up feeling really And.
Speaker 1You were fully developed at eighteen?
Were you not?
Speaker 3Well?
Speaker 2Yeah?
I guess so.
Speaker 1Your breasts were a full D cup, your body had developed.
You had hair on your body.
Speaker 2I sprout it out early.
Speaker 1I yes?
Do you shave?
Speaker 2Yeah?
I do?
Speaker 1You grew him very nicely?
Yes?
Yeah?
Close?
Crop, very close?
Crop?
Are you blonde?
All over?
Light brown?
Really excellent?
Speaker 3Well, now let me ask you something.
This front of your mother's what did she look like?
Speaker 2Really dark hair?
She looks like Demimore with long legs and big breasts and stuff.
She was thin and tall.
She had a beautiful face.
Speaker 1So your mom was real young when she had you.
Yeah, So how did you end up with your mom's friend?
Speaker 2She would always come into my room and watch me change.
Speaker 1Had she ever seen you knew growing up?
Speaker 2Yeah?
Speaker 1Had she seen you knut at eleven twelve?
I would say, so you knew at fifteen?
Speaker 3Yeah?
Speaker 1Oh man, I'm so turned on.
I'm acheen.
That's how horny.
I am for you because you look like Katherine Oxenbourg from Dynasty, the long blonde hair, the perfect but perfect and you've runway modeled.
I'm offering you to the lesbian community today.
Am I not the greatest friend of the lesbian community?
Do lesbians adore Howard Stern?
If any of you freaking homemost say a bad thing about me again, I'm going to complain to somebody in the gay organizations.
So what were you wearing the day she came over?
You're probably in your sleep wear, weren't you?
Fuck night came I remember that as a kid, and like I was with my nanny and I had like a succession of all these different nannies and like multiple nannies listen to.
Speaker 2Struct like your nannies were.
Speaker 1So they're all so stern because like they were these like badass babies that is with like scrunches on the gearship Like at this one baby sit are with like the ford Ex flour with the scrunch.
Speaker 3Scrunch is like that's like a cockring, Like that's an eighties cock craw.
Speaker 1Like I'm Adam eight years old.
It's seven fifteen in the morning and driving to school, there's scrunches on the gear ship, and Howard certain just being like, all right, so I've got three prostitutes and one of a vegetarian.
So I'm gonna smell the vaginas.
I'm gonna smell the vaginas right now, and I'm gonna tell you which one's a vegan, all right?
And Robin's like, how hard Howard?
Come on?
Speaker 2Who about?
Speaker 3Also the dynamic between him and Robin is she is I'm on and is the voice of reason.
But she's also smelling pussy.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I mean like she's not being.
Speaker 3Like, oh god, constantly eye roll because she's like, okay, let me smell.
Speaker 1Because she's not the one saying just like oh no, Howard, need to respect women.
She's looking at these women just being like not this house.
Speaker 2Yeah, she would be like, well, yours to be here?
Speaker 6Yeah?
Speaker 1And I think that also, like is actually more respectful to just be like, well, listen, I'm gonna treat this like a real human being who's been insane.
And it is like coming on a radio.
Speaker 3Show now, not having the dynamic of like this woman is nagging me, yes, you know yes?
And so his wife in the book is Alison.
They were married from nineteen seventy eight to two thousand and one.
Speaker 1It's interesting the devotionally few years after the whole book movie thing, because the movie ends with them like him being like, I got my kids, my wife, my number one radio show.
I couldn't be happy.
Speaker 3I could cheat it like now, like finally that I'm famous, I could cheat on her.
And you know a few instances were like he almost does, but then he sees her and he's like.
Speaker 2You know what all I need is Allison.
Speaker 3And he says in interviews like, well, kind of the only thing I really haven't talked about is because of my divorce.
And he was like, it's because I have my like three wonderful just like conservative Jewish daughters.
One of his daughters like is a rabbi?
Speaker 1Wait?
Speaker 2Really seriously?
Yeah, oh Howard Stern.
Speaker 1That is so Stern.
Wait, that's really funny, I.
Speaker 2Know, which also is a very identical.
Speaker 1Your rabbi is Howard Stern's daughter, just like Rebecca Stern.
Speaker 2Literally Rebecca Stern.
Speaker 3And I think it's like he does fall into this classic like sometimes you know, it's like the craziest comedians and shock jocks and actors like really do not lead a crazy life because it's like it's left all for the show.
Speaker 1But also like to be up at like five in the morning every day.
You can't literally can't be crazy.
You're like going to bed early.
Speaker 3There's an interview with all a Sudden.
They're like, oh, is he always jerking off at home?
And she's like, I actually have never like walked in on him drinking off.
Yeah, And he always talks about like, oh, well, I have to wake up so early, so I have to drink off so I can fall asleep satterly.
Speaker 2And then she's like, well, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1I mean, I will say this, honey, it's easy to masturbate and have your partner not know your mask well right.
Speaker 2Also, I'm sure he's masterman is taking two minutes.
Speaker 1And I jack off.
I can see my boyfriend in the other room through our interior window.
I'm at my desk.
Okay, he's at the kitchen table.
I'm jacking off.
I'm watching porn.
I'm on the headphones.
Speaker 2You run huge, I got my cans on.
I got on the cans Are they the same ones you podcast?
Speaker 1Fuck?
Yeah, they are.
Speaker 3Imagine you have like special porn headphones that are like, actually more of these big beads.
Speaker 1I want like really high sound quality.
Speaker 3Five hundred dollar apples canceling to watch just like three minutes of Oh, what's the one that I always like watching?
Speaker 1Oh?
Fun size boys?
Speaker 2I know they small.
Speaker 1It's like the top is really big and the bottom is really small.
Speaker 2Binner.
It's like, yeah, but I have to tell you, this is such a stirring question.
Speaker 1I asked.
Speaker 3We were having a conversation about sex on Saturday, you and me and some.
Speaker 2Friends, and then I came home and I asked mine.
I was like, would you like sleep with someone with one leg?
Speaker 6Wait?
Speaker 1Is so stir We were having that gobble to speak up and she.
Speaker 2Goes in a second.
In a second, she goes, of course, in a second.
Speaker 1We all got that one girlfriend who's too woke.
She's like, I would never.
Speaker 3It was like, come on, in a second, you answer that one really fast.
She seeused to be different, Like they're not covered in boils, it's just one leg.
Speaker 1Oh, so the monkey po's victim doesn't get fucked by your fiance.
That's real nice.
Speaker 2So the boils community stay away from her.
Speaker 1As I said, I am, I would probably suck a guy with one arm before one leg.
Right, there's part of me that thinks there would be like really cute, like marry a guy with one arm?
Speaker 3See is that condescending though you're saying it's be really cute of me.
Yeah, yes, not really cute of him, be really cute of you.
Speaker 2Oh no.
Speaker 1And I'm mean honest about that, And it would be kind of saving me to do that.
But I mean, like, obviously personality be everything.
I just picture a guy with one arm beings so like sweet, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2And you think one like this chip on his shoulder kind of No, it's obviously all about it.
I don't care about looks.
Speaker 3It's always about personality and brain and values of respect.
Speaker 1Way to find if love is really blind.
Speaker 3I want to talk about just some anal stuff because one of the first interviews I remember ever reading with Howard Stern was that he had anal fishers, like being eleven and like opening up a rolling stone and.
Speaker 1Have you ever had a fishers?
Speaker 2No, an anal fisher, So that's like I don't think I have.
Speaker 1So what happens is it's like it's just like tiny little referations in the anal wall.
So it's like little like cuts or like holes.
But you can get it from not having a fibercent enough diet.
So people think you get it from getting fucked by so many like knife cocks, yeah, and like getting like too ravaged.
But I actually had it once when I was living in France in my early twenties.
Speaker 2Oh, because you were being so full grawl, I.
Speaker 1Think so, And I was like two pete and that I just like had to take and it like it was just painful.
It just like hurt to like shit and wipe, and so I would have to kind of like make a like a sitz bath kind of yeah, just like a two inch warm water bath in the bottom of the shower and kind of squat in that.
And it was kind of annoying.
Speaker 2I mean maybe I have had them, but I don't think.
I mean there's been times where.
Speaker 1White does it hurt?
Speaker 2No?
Speaker 1Has it ever?
Speaker 2Sure?
Speaker 3At like one point, yeah, after a rough go at it.
Speaker 1But he he says this thing that his mom didn't a white.
Speaker 3So he says, which again this whole book is like origin of wait, do I have the wiping page?
Here?
Speaker 1It goes Lily, I didn't write down that, but he says his mom like didn't teach him how to wipe any.
Speaker 3Properly, and of course he is bing the mother.
Yeah, it's kind of classic searching for father's.
Speaker 1Approval while blaming them the mother for.
Speaker 2All your sexual well shortcomings.
Speaker 1Yeah, but that's the edible complex.
It's like, because the.
Speaker 2Mom's complex, you want to fuck the mom.
Speaker 1Yeah, and when she doesn't let you, that's what fucks you up.
Speaker 3But it sounds like he says she has an obsession with his private regions.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean that is weird.
Speaker 2It's a little more different.
Speaker 1Basically, he's washing his underwear until he's like eighteen, like really vigorously and then going through with the fine tooth colms.
Yeah, with the family when there's skid marks.
Speaker 3And being like, oh, don't touch that.
I'm washing like Howard's accident underpants.
Speaker 2I mean it's humiliating.
It is humiliating, but and she denies it in the movie.
End of the book.
Speaker 1I think like anything that a mom does to son is going to be like sexually humiliating on some level, you know what I mean, Whereas the dad it's like.
Speaker 2More this emotional kind of like you're nothing.
Speaker 1I guess, like there's an emasculation there too, But I think because the dad though, is like threatened by the son.
Like the dad is ultimately like, well, the son is my replacement, and so like.
Speaker 3The father maybe wishes the mother was going through his underwear.
Yes, but then he calls his mom on the show and asks like if she's celibate, and she's like, no, I'm not, yeah, which is so iconic.
Speaker 1It's like, yes, her father and I do have sex.
Speaker 3And he's been like ew, like do you have anal?
And she's been like, oh, how.
Speaker 1Should we call your mom right now and ask him the last time she had sex.
Speaker 3Was maybe, well, your parents are still together, let's call yours.
Speaker 2I'm very curious.
I think I know when the last.
Speaker 1Time my mom had sex was May seventh.
Speaker 2I'd like know that, like three five.
Speaker 1There's a Trump sighting in this book, Yeah.
Speaker 2He says Trump one of my most interesting guests.
Speaker 1He says, the only man who's a bigger germophobe than him.
Speaker 2Which also makes so much sense.
Speaker 1He's just like so hand sanitizer.
Speaker 2Right, and like getting so dry with his hands.
Speaker 1Well, that's why because he's so like McDonald's, because like McDonald's is like not real foods, Like he doesn't like like real things hands touching.
Speaker 3That's like if you were to have some gorgeous meal at new restaurant, howked dot bay it, Yeah, Trump go there because no it's a small kitchen.
Speaker 2Yes, And he does want people like touching.
Speaker 1He only wants like food that's been like windexed.
It's like that's why he likes McDonald.
Speaker 2Since windex food that has like just been defrosted.
Speaker 1And he's so like wet ones and like everything getting wet ones and.
Speaker 3Like dude wipes and just like cleaning his mouth with windecks and so Howard is like, oh, you must have like slapped with so many people, and then like Donald is kind of like, oh, but like I'm sketched by germs.
Speaker 1And it goes with all those girls just growing around with.
Aren't you afraid of aids?
I asked jerremphobia is the problem that Donna admitted.
You have to be selective.
It's pretty dangerous out there.
It's like Vietnam dating is my personal Vietnam.
Howard just grows.
I love that quote.
He's always one of my best guys.
It's like, I love that great of a quote.
Speaker 2I know I love him.
Speaker 3It's funny the people that like who he hates and who he like loves, and it is very like nineties in this I mean, this book is nineties.
But he's like, I hate Madonna because she's so full of herself.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I mean, of course he hates because like Madonna is, she takes herself so serious.
She's really pretentious and she's earned the right to be.
But it's like that's not him.
It's like he loves Sandra Bernhard and I'm Madonna.
Speaker 3He's like, can we talk about you and Madonna and your sexual relationship again, elevating lesbians.
Speaker 1And he loves John Rivers of course, and like they're always joshing each other and making fun of each other.
Speaker 3And he is making fun of Joan Rivers for crying about her dead husband so much, which is such.
Speaker 2A like Joan Rivers thing to do.
Speaker 1I love that.
I felt like that was such a tribute to Joan the little junk want that she would totally want that she would love someone to like drag her for talking about death husband like ad nauseum, and like people would be too afraid to say that about her.
Speaker 3I also, I was obsessed he does have a stance on like gay people the end where he's like, people think being gay is biological, but I think it's just men like putting off the future.
Speaker 1Oh and it's like immaturity.
Speaker 3It's immaturity because it's like you're putting off having a family and you're just being like, oh, what if I played with boys from longer?
Speaker 1I mean tea, that's true as someone who just had a child.
Speaker 2Well, so now gay guys can adopt cats?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Am I so gay?
It's the question.
Speaker 2Well, but as you said, a boy cat.
Speaker 3Yeah, and I feel like our friends were like, wait, are you do you consider him your son?
You're like sometimes, but also we're all three brothers and it's a sick sexual game.
Speaker 1But it's also desexualizing the way like I will admit, like, you know, since we got a cat, are we having SYXO?
Gonna be a little bit loud, like yes, there's a litter box in our bedroom, you know what I mean.
But that's also sleeps in between us at night.
So it's like a little you know, long.
Speaker 3Term relationships, it's up, it's down sometimes it's.
Speaker 1Yeah, every second.
I mean, we're also having new.
Speaker 2Cat sex totally, totally.
Speaker 1Which is incredible.
Speaker 3So if you're wondering, committed new cat sex is amazing, Like the time we are having sex, you're like, oh, and it's not about quantity, it's about and it's so romantic and committed and you're looking at each other's eyes being so like should we do automatic chewy pantents?
Because my question with lesbians though, is then that is the reverse.
It's almost this hypermaturity because if the opposite of the stereotype about lesbians are to u haul and to like buy a house and like start a farm and like adopt like so many refugees.
Speaker 2So if Howard is saying gay guys.
Speaker 1Oh, gay guys are immature, lesbians are like hypermature.
They're like running towards old age.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's like sprinting.
Speaker 3But then so is he he very like being more just like classic, just like Jewish straight guy of like the eighties getting married at like twenty two.
Speaker 1Yeah, and like to like one of his like first second girlfriend.
Speaker 2Right because he was like, well, she's into me.
Speaker 1And this is what comes back to him of being so just like traditional in this way because it's just like he like went to school for communications like wanting to work on radio, married his college girlfriend, like just his way up in the radio industry.
Like that was it.
It was such a linear track, right.
Speaker 3Like he gets one advertising job for like six months, and I just love that.
He was always like I want to have like a comedy show.
Like it was like less about like the music.
Yeah, which is so funny thinking of like Howard even like having to play music because by the time we were listening to Howard with your Babysitters.
Speaker 1Or whatever, let me throw on an AC DC track.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was like syndicated just talk in the morning.
Speaker 1There's something about human verbal communication and talking that like helps your body get ready for the day and where music feels too evening.
Speaker 2And that's why.
Speaker 3Also like morning radio shows are always the craziest and it's a prank phone call.
Speaker 1No, they have an insane amount of energy because they need to like make up for your lack of energy.
Speaker 2As you're the coffee.
Speaker 3And they're also literally waking up at two am to get to the studio by four.
And again this is me manifesting reading this, I was like.
Speaker 2I know, like radio is over, but I'm like I would love I know.
Speaker 1I was feeling this further work on radio, and like just the magic of it of a going into this and you know that's why I have I will say, I've loved so much coming here, coming.
Speaker 2Here, that's the best part, like of course.
Speaker 3Our producers and talking with you, but literally to get off at the fifty seventh Street stop.
Speaker 1And like come up to this office overlooking Midtown Manhattan out the window, to be on a microphone in a studio with the little clock taking in the corner, like and the on.
Speaker 2Air it makes me feel so howard.
Speaker 1Yeah, like the fucking jocks I listened to as a kid, well closet an eight year old.
Speaker 3The studio is set up like more radio, less podcast and like less like couch and like frame photos of like mister show behind us.
This has feltmore radio, which has been like such a dream and I do feel like so grateful like that we've gotten to have this time.
Speaker 1Okay, there's a lot more I want to talk about because I do want to get into his like drum with NBC, and also.
Speaker 2You should talk about that in part two.
Speaker 1I should talk about that in Part two, which is coming out this Friday on Patreon dot com CBC the pod, but should we maybe do our iHeart muckbang.
Speaker 2Now, yeah, let's do a muff bang.
Speaker 1And then okay, I'm gonna go raid the iHeart kitchen fridge and like just steal random girl salads because this is our last day here, and what are they gonna do with fire us?
Okay, you guys, I heard fidge is so bare and it's so sad, like all the lorens are gone.
Okay, we have a box of blueberries that are not rotten, thank you very much.
There was this weird bag that was full of all these unmarked, like.
Speaker 3Holding up really pulpy juices.
I just fear that those are from literally a year ago.
And that's where we get food poisoning from press.
Speaker 1It's like this turmeric thing and there was a ton of But if it's sealed right.
Speaker 3I don't know, because I've heard of friends getting food poisoning from juice press.
Speaker 2Are you serious it's from the bottled juices?
Speaker 1Okay, here we have someone's like little lunch bag.
There is garlicky Trader Joe's Seasoning Blend.
This is the saddest office on earth.
Someone is bringing their own Trader season Blend seasoning blend.
And then there's just like a bag of granola inside.
Speaker 3Well, this is very how we're talking about how don Imus got a limo and he was always just taking the subway to work.
Speaker 1We can eat this granola.
This is fine.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'll try the seasoning plund.
Speaker 6Hmm.
Speaker 1Okay, it's a little I would say it's a little stale.
Do you want to try this?
And it's actually very sweet.
Whoever this trader Joe's person is Okay, bagged trees.
So there was like a whole box of this from we Lura Strong cell cellular function booster.
It was like from some company Okay and adh coq ten collagen dietary supplement.
Speaker 2This granola, it's kind of citrusy.
Speaker 1And this expires February twenty twenty five.
So this is like, oh that's good.
I'll take that all right.
So let's try these wellness stocks.
Speaker 2I love my Shelvel wellness shot.
You always feel like you're fixing everything.
Speaker 1A doctor before if you are planning surgery.
Speaker 2Wait, sorry, before you take this.
Speaker 1You can't have this if you're having surgery.
Speaker 2So that kind of makes it seem like it actually does something.
Speaker 1I doubt it.
I mean, what's it doctor?
Speaker 3If you're nursing pregnant medical condition, planning surgery.
Speaker 1These statements have not been a valuable pending.
Speaker 4Uh oh tastes like orange juice, mango juice.
Speaker 3I was expecting something so much stronger.
Yeah, more of a ginger shot.
Speaker 1It's not really that gingery.
Speaker 2It's kind of a thick mango.
I mean it's good.
Speaker 1Actually because of it's not good the way it lingers on it out.
Actually don't like it.
Speaker 3That's the aluminum that if you're planning surgery.
Speaker 1We've got a Cafe latte Premiere protein shake.
Speaker 2Oh, let's do that.
Speaker 3Poor girl brought that and was like, no, I forgot about it.
Speaker 1There's something very nineties about this.
One of my nannies used to drink slim Fast, my first nanny.
Speaker 2It's one of the most nanny drinks.
Speaker 1And I remember like opening the pantry and seems so much slim Fast and just being like, so, it's like chocolate milk.
I think the biggest blow is actually gross.
I am calling it.
I think it's gross.
Speaker 2I'm fine with that.
I'm getting into the willower.
Speaker 3My babysitter would do slim Fast, but then I feel like also be so eating a sleeve of non fat like cookies.
Speaker 1Right, and it's just like, well if you're having the whole sleeve.
Speaker 3Even though they're non fat.
And again it's like the nineties was all about.
Speaker 1Is also gross, no fast gross.
Oh wait, there's a string cheese.
This will be good.
Speaker 2Let me try the seasoning blend.
Speaker 3I always think unless it is made by like a cool southern man, it is such a chicken rub.
Seasoning lends are scams.
Speaking of scams, it's always just like human paprik and garlic powder mixed together.
And then it's always like Tony Smokey's like, amazing chicken.
Speaker 1You're kind of like, well, I have those I could just use those spices.
Speaker 2Okay, it smells like pizza place.
Speaker 1The spring cheese tastes like string cheese.
Speaker 3Just to let you guys know, see, here's the thing, this is actually kind of good.
Speaker 1The trader Joe is eating your words.
Speaker 2It's mince garlic, sea salt, like parsley red pepper.
Speaker 1When you try someone the string cheese, Wait.
Speaker 3Why don't you give me a piece of string cheese and let's both put the seasoning on it.
Speaker 2This is what I call pizza.
Speaker 1That string Oh it does smell like pizza, and it looks it has like red pepper in a reguar.
It looks like pizza.
This was just pizza.
Speaker 2Slapped with that one.
Mama Josephine Ate, here's why we're not stern.
Speaker 3Is the most chaotic thing we can think of doing is having expired Walura shots.
Speaker 2But that's just our generation, okay, And I'm not trying to copy.
Speaker 1No, And like, while Lura is comedy to us, and it's like that's fine.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3I mean when my most iconic moment working for when I work for Springer, which I feel like they are too kind of go in tandem with each other.
Except the difference is like Jerry's whole thing is that like he kind of pretends like he has like no idea what's going on, and he just like shows up and is like, so, you know, what do you think about this?
Speaker 1But I think he has I don't think they're the same because I don't think that he possesses the same like curiosity that Howard String.
Speaker 2No, No, that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 3I'm more like when people are like, you're exposing trash to America.
Speaker 1Oh, they are revealing their own disgust for the underclass.
Speaker 3Absolute and he's being like, okay, well if you think they're trash, yeah, No, I think Springer had much more.
Speaker 2You know.
That's to get into his Psyche's another episode.
Speaker 3But the episode I worked on was about beast reality and I had to walk a goat.
Speaker 1Wait that somebody was fucking.
Speaker 3Yeah outside of the studio because they brought in all these farm animals and they use some.
Speaker 1Of them and it was like this like some podunk farmer being like, yes, I do, fuck my goat.
Speaker 3Yeah, And it was him admitting to her, confronting him, being like you fuck goats.
Speaker 2You're not fucking me enough.
You're fucking the goats too much.
Speaker 3So then he shaved her head because she was like, sheer me like a sheep, because that's like what you're into.
Speaker 1I mean, that's just good television, Like that's just produce.
Speaker 2That's I mean, it wasn't real.
Speaker 1There.
Speaker 3He paid her five hundred dollars to shave her head, and I remember seeing her after.
She was in a huge Rainfores's Cafe tied eye T shirt and her head was just shaved and I was like, damn, how you look.
Speaker 2See?
Uh yeah, But not to Howard for a second.
Speaker 3I think the way he played with the executives is so funny, and he was so fearless.
I think at that point he also knew he was number one in the country.
So it's like he had that confidence behind him.
But he had that confidence, you know before when he was in Detroit and was just like, this is a small station.
So and I think what it took is like in the beginning he was being a little more like random disc jockey and then you know, his wife said to him.
Speaker 2I like, coming, you're just yourself.
Speaker 1I love that seeing the movie.
Yeah, and it's so true.
And people like us the most when it's just.
Speaker 2Us, right, just respond to being real.
Speaker 1And so if you want to hear more, ask go to Patron.
Complete the bottom.
All right, you guys, we have to wrap up part one of this episode, but we are going to get into the round.
