Speaker 2

Can you believe we're being ripped apart?

No, not at all.

Speaker 1

They're breaking up the gang.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

I feel like we're like one of those animal movies where they're ripping up the pack.

Speaker 1

What one of those animal movies.

Speaker 3

Movie someone adopts like Old Yeller or whatever, this golden tree for sauntering off.

Speaker 1

Listen, there's nothing wrong with adopting a solo pet.

Okay, you can break up a letter.

Stop pushing your anti solo pet propaganda.

H Darby, you've been like the iHeart Air has been incredible.

You know, we had many producers before.

They didn't think give you the dignity of signing a name now.

Speaker 3

Wow, because they probably didn't think you cared.

I mean, and maybe you don't.

Speaker 6

It's just a lot of the times I'm not really in the loop for a good amount of shows because my primary function, say it, like a my android, my primary function is to be in the studio in here.

So sure I'm a part of your show, but also I'm part of like a vast number of other shows.

Speaker 1

So it's like.

Speaker 6

Whoever comes in the record, it's like bam, okay.

So you know what?

Speaker 3

Also this means club kids is yeah, I mean in this economy, our income has been.

Speaker 1

So it is sort of being ripped in half.

Which is interesting because I just had a son.

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 3

My 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 2

Oh.

Also, my car insurance just doubled by three times.

I just been putting that out.

Speaker 1

You had to stop your insurance scam.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Wait, 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 2

And now I'm paying three times more.

Speaker 1

You're paying how much now?

Speaker 2

Two hundred and seventy dollars a month?

Speaker 1

For 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 3

Right, and you want it actually, like, oh, actually come back next Tuesday.

Yeah, I'm getting married next fall.

Yeah I need funds.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

I'm also I'm moving and I'm not gonna say where yet, but I will say it on the Patreon, but I am.

Speaker 2

So find out where Steven's moving.

Speaker 1

Where I'm moving on the patrioch.

So do you see a because I see the numbers adding up, and I see we need you to come over to.

Speaker 3

Patriots seeing playing tickets, I'm seeing vet bills, I'm seeing bespoke tailoring bills.

Speaker 2

Especially, do you guys.

Speaker 3

Want me every day scooping cold chili into my mouth in the.

Speaker 2

Upper West Side.

Speaker 1

Like 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 2

Okay?

Speaker 3

Kind of a meta choice it seemed like the only choice.

Speaker 1

Kind 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 2

As and Robin Quivers and Fred and Stuttering.

Speaker 1

John 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 2

With fucking corporate overlords.

Speaker 1

But 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 2

I was like, oh, this is just so us, We're being so crazy.

Speaker 3

But 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 1

Movie number one, and they're just being like, huh, your numbers are like really meets.

Speaker 3

But 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 1

The 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 3

You're like always sending us like random different Royal Butler's memoirs we need to read.

Speaker 1

And 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 2

Okay, what I love about Howard.

Speaker 3

I mean there's always been like radio plays and there was like other kind of like shock jocks prace.

Speaker 1

He says he doesn't like no, and I don't think it was in his intention to shock.

He was just being himself.

Speaker 3

A 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 1

Chock 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 3

Yeah, Donna's so boring and just like is an actual like bigot is just like doing it for ratings to like say crazy.

Speaker 1

Things, 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 3

I 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 1

Calls, and like you had more of a childhood.

Speaker 3

I 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 1

Like and Howard's cool is like parents literally didn't like it.

Speaker 3

Well 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 1

My 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 2

You're like, wait, this is so epic.

Speaker 1

And 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 3

What we're calling the other Let's say, if it's a prostitute.

Speaker 1

Yes, 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 3

Like 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 1

So 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 2

That's how cool is that?

I was like, that's.

Speaker 1

Distillation of the story.

Yeah, we're curiosity first.

It's humanizing.

Speaker 3

It's not like a don Imus, which is just like I'm gonna say crazy things.

Speaker 1

Does don Imays even say crazy things?

I feel like he had maybe started to copy Stern at one point.

Speaker 3

He 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 1

Yes, 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 3

Air, 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 1

To this day, I think Stern is still pretty unique, I.

Speaker 3

Think 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 1

But obviously he's more like letter now and it's like and he's like a judge on America.

Speaker 3

I 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 1

Right, 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 2

And he's saying that even to the janitor.

Speaker 1

Right, 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 3

Yes, 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 1

Yeah, 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 3

But 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 2

A lot of his crew are like freaky twenty.

Speaker 3

Nine year old version guys.

Yeah, but it's not that same kind of like.

Speaker 1

But they're talking about it and they're being open about it, and.

Speaker 3

They'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 2

As many books are about, is wanting to please the father.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 2

And his father was a radio man.

He was always telling him to shut up.

Speaker 1

Yeah, And so it's this whole.

Speaker 2

Book is Howard being like, dad told me to shut up.

Speaker 1

Well.

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 2

I think Rockville Center, No.

Speaker 1

It 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 3

And 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 2

He's still getting laid.

Speaker 3

And 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 1

But like he's also like having sex in high school, which is just like, you know.

Speaker 3

Some of us weren't as queer folks, like yeah, don't privilege.

Speaker 1

We 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 3

I don't know cause those are also like headlines they want us to hear to be like gen Z isn't having sex.

Speaker 1

But 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 3

I 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 1

Was like, hold on, so what was the FM wearing?

Speaker 2

Okay, so it was like a little kind of like tight jeans.

Speaker 3

Fuck, long hairs, not too big though round.

Speaker 1

You're gonna be so hard right now, Okay, can we.

Speaker 3

Talk about the boobs in private parts and kind of the boobs in Howard Stern's worlds.

Speaker 1

They're all like huge and fake, That's.

Speaker 2

What I'm saying.

Speaker 3

I'm like, we don't have those, like the fake boobs now, don't look like that.

Speaker 1

I don't know, girl, go to Miami, like you walk down the street, like there are massive, huge floating.

Speaker 2

No, there's a massive like flotation device face tits.

Speaker 3

But the way they are fake in the nineties, I think is different from how they.

Speaker 1

It was more now they were more circular.

Speaker 2

It was a huge balloon.

Speaker 1

They 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 3

Yeah, 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 1

It was really balloon pop city back then.

Speaker 3

Let's talk about I listened to Nick Carter and WBCN in the afternoon.

Speaker 1

Oh mama, I listened to.

Speaker 3

Afternoon 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 1

That's so us and every other summer No, but yeah that must have like come in supplimin.

Speaker 2

No truly and it like this was my full porn.

Speaker 3

Like 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 2

I was like, off that you and that is what.

Speaker 3

Yeah, thrifted acid wash it and soaked mama from that.

Speaker 2

And it was always a girl being like I have a piercing on my clip.

Speaker 3

Okay, 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 1

There 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 2

It's just kind of ra and like antique owners.

Speaker 1

And 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 2

Think also the Nathan Fielder thing was like.

Speaker 1

Obviously it's separate because he's like an absurdist comedian, but it's like right, people.

Speaker 3

Are mad that Howard kind of was like objectifying and everyone's thing is being like you're disgusting.

Speaker 2

But if we think about it's.

Speaker 1

Like 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 2

Actually well and if you can see it in the way that.

Speaker 1

He's also being horny.

Speaker 3

Yes, 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 1

He 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 3

Our 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 1

Now they're not okay, but this is also they was thinking.

I was like, to lesbians, how it's searched, are always like.

Speaker 2

Not, well, that's what I'm saying.

They're like porn stars, porn starts.

Speaker 3

He wasn't having like elevating like actually awesome for theem.

Speaker 1

Right, 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 3

Like I'm also just so stern and my sexuality was shaped by just like hot fem for fast.

Speaker 1

Like there aren't any just like.

Speaker 2

But there are for thumbs.

I know there are, No, they're not like two bunny exos.

Speaker 3

No, I'm sure there are couples that are like, but it's like too hot bunny exos.

Speaker 1

I 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 3

Well 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 1

But 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 3

No 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 1

Right, so and he was saying it over and over.

Speaker 2

Over and over.

Speaker 3

So 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 1

How big are your breasts?

Speaker 2

Thirty 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 3

About your waist twenty four hips thirty six?

Speaker 1

And you really dig lesbian?

Speaker 3

Yes?

Speaker 1

And how old were you when you first had lesbian sex?

Speaker 2

Eighteen?

Speaker 1

Who with a friend?

Speaker 2

No, my mother's friend, an older woman sedus too, Yes, she was thirty two.

Speaker 3

I was really frightened when it happened, but it ended up feeling really And.

Speaker 1

You were fully developed at eighteen?

Were you not?

Speaker 3

Well?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

I guess so.

Speaker 1

Your breasts were a full D cup, your body had developed.

You had hair on your body.

Speaker 2

I sprout it out early.

Speaker 1

I yes?

Do you shave?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

I do?

Speaker 1

You grew him very nicely?

Yes?

Yeah?

Close?

Crop, very close?

Crop?

Are you blonde?

All over?

Light brown?

Really excellent?

Speaker 3

Well, now let me ask you something.

This front of your mother's what did she look like?

Speaker 2

Really 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 1

So your mom was real young when she had you.

Yeah, So how did you end up with your mom's friend?

Speaker 2

She would always come into my room and watch me change.

Speaker 1

Had she ever seen you knew growing up?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 1

Had she seen you knut at eleven twelve?

I would say, so you knew at fifteen?

Speaker 3

Yeah?

Speaker 1

Oh 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 2

Struct like your nannies were.

Speaker 1

So 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 3

Scrunch is like that's like a cockring, Like that's an eighties cock craw.

Speaker 1

Like 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 2

Who about?

Speaker 3

Also 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 1

Yeah.

Speaker 2

I mean like she's not being.

Speaker 3

Like, oh god, constantly eye roll because she's like, okay, let me smell.

Speaker 1

Because 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 2

Yeah, she would be like, well, yours to be here?

Speaker 6

Yeah?

Speaker 1

And 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 3

Show 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 1

It'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 3

I 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 2

You know what all I need is Allison.

Speaker 3

And 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 1

Wait?

Speaker 2

Really seriously?

Yeah, oh Howard Stern.

Speaker 1

That is so Stern.

Wait, that's really funny, I.

Speaker 2

Know, which also is a very identical.

Speaker 1

Your rabbi is Howard Stern's daughter, just like Rebecca Stern.

Speaker 2

Literally Rebecca Stern.

Speaker 3

And 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 1

But 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 3

There'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 2

And then she's like, well, I haven't seen that.

Speaker 1

I mean, I will say this, honey, it's easy to masturbate and have your partner not know your mask well right.

Speaker 2

Also, I'm sure he's masterman is taking two minutes.

Speaker 1

And 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 2

You run huge, I got my cans on.

I got on the cans Are they the same ones you podcast?

Speaker 1

Fuck?

Yeah, they are.

Speaker 3

Imagine you have like special porn headphones that are like, actually more of these big beads.

Speaker 1

I want like really high sound quality.

Speaker 3

Five hundred dollar apples canceling to watch just like three minutes of Oh, what's the one that I always like watching?

Speaker 1

Oh?

Fun size boys?

Speaker 2

I know they small.

Speaker 1

It's like the top is really big and the bottom is really small.

Speaker 2

Binner.

It's like, yeah, but I have to tell you, this is such a stirring question.

Speaker 1

I asked.

Speaker 3

We were having a conversation about sex on Saturday, you and me and some.

Speaker 2

Friends, and then I came home and I asked mine.

I was like, would you like sleep with someone with one leg?

Speaker 6

Wait?

Speaker 1

Is so stir We were having that gobble to speak up and she.

Speaker 2

Goes in a second.

In a second, she goes, of course, in a second.

Speaker 1

We all got that one girlfriend who's too woke.

She's like, I would never.

Speaker 3

It 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 1

Oh, so the monkey po's victim doesn't get fucked by your fiance.

That's real nice.

Speaker 2

So the boils community stay away from her.

Speaker 1

As 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 3

See 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 2

Oh no.

Speaker 1

And 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 2

And 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 3

It's always about personality and brain and values of respect.

Speaker 1

Way to find if love is really blind.

Speaker 3

I 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 1

Have you ever had a fishers?

Speaker 2

No, an anal fisher, So that's like I don't think I have.

Speaker 1

So 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 2

Oh, because you were being so full grawl, I.

Speaker 1

Think 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 2

I mean maybe I have had them, but I don't think.

I mean there's been times where.

Speaker 1

White does it hurt?

Speaker 2

No?

Speaker 1

Has it ever?

Speaker 2

Sure?

Speaker 3

At like one point, yeah, after a rough go at it.

Speaker 1

But he he says this thing that his mom didn't a white.

Speaker 3

So he says, which again this whole book is like origin of wait, do I have the wiping page?

Here?

Speaker 1

It goes Lily, I didn't write down that, but he says his mom like didn't teach him how to wipe any.

Speaker 3

Properly, and of course he is bing the mother.

Yeah, it's kind of classic searching for father's.

Speaker 1

Approval while blaming them the mother for.

Speaker 2

All your sexual well shortcomings.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but that's the edible complex.

It's like, because the.

Speaker 2

Mom's complex, you want to fuck the mom.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and when she doesn't let you, that's what fucks you up.

Speaker 3

But it sounds like he says she has an obsession with his private regions.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I mean that is weird.

Speaker 2

It's a little more different.

Speaker 1

Basically, 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 3

And being like, oh, don't touch that.

I'm washing like Howard's accident underpants.

Speaker 2

I mean it's humiliating.

It is humiliating, but and she denies it in the movie.

End of the book.

Speaker 1

I 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 2

More this emotional kind of like you're nothing.

Speaker 1

I 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 3

The 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 1

It's like, yes, her father and I do have sex.

Speaker 3

And he's been like ew, like do you have anal?

And she's been like, oh, how.

Speaker 1

Should we call your mom right now and ask him the last time she had sex.

Speaker 3

Was maybe, well, your parents are still together, let's call yours.

Speaker 2

I'm very curious.

I think I know when the last.

Speaker 1

Time my mom had sex was May seventh.

Speaker 2

I'd like know that, like three five.

Speaker 1

There's a Trump sighting in this book, Yeah.

Speaker 2

He says Trump one of my most interesting guests.

Speaker 1

He says, the only man who's a bigger germophobe than him.

Speaker 2

Which also makes so much sense.

Speaker 1

He's just like so hand sanitizer.

Speaker 2

Right, and like getting so dry with his hands.

Speaker 1

Well, 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 3

That'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 2

Yes, And he does want people like touching.

Speaker 1

He only wants like food that's been like windexed.

It's like that's why he likes McDonald.

Speaker 2

Since windex food that has like just been defrosted.

Speaker 1

And he's so like wet ones and like everything getting wet ones and.

Speaker 3

Like 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 1

And 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 2

I know I love him.

Speaker 3

It'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 1

Yeah, 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 3

He's like, can we talk about you and Madonna and your sexual relationship again, elevating lesbians.

Speaker 1

And he loves John Rivers of course, and like they're always joshing each other and making fun of each other.

Speaker 3

And he is making fun of Joan Rivers for crying about her dead husband so much, which is such.

Speaker 2

A like Joan Rivers thing to do.

Speaker 1

I 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 3

I 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 1

Oh and it's like immaturity.

Speaker 3

It'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 1

I mean tea, that's true as someone who just had a child.

Speaker 2

Well, so now gay guys can adopt cats?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Am I so gay?

It's the question.

Speaker 2

Well, but as you said, a boy cat.

Speaker 3

Yeah, 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 1

But 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 3

Term relationships, it's up, it's down sometimes it's.

Speaker 1

Yeah, every second.

I mean, we're also having new.

Speaker 2

Cat sex totally, totally.

Speaker 1

Which is incredible.

Speaker 3

So 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 2

So if Howard is saying gay guys.

Speaker 1

Oh, gay guys are immature, lesbians are like hypermature.

They're like running towards old age.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's like sprinting.

Speaker 3

But 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 1

Yeah, and like to like one of his like first second girlfriend.

Speaker 2

Right because he was like, well, she's into me.

Speaker 1

And 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 3

Like 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 1

Or whatever, let me throw on an AC DC track.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it was like syndicated just talk in the morning.

Speaker 1

There'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 2

And that's why.

Speaker 3

Also like morning radio shows are always the craziest and it's a prank phone call.

Speaker 1

No, they have an insane amount of energy because they need to like make up for your lack of energy.

Speaker 2

As you're the coffee.

Speaker 3

And 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 2

I know, like radio is over, but I'm like I would love I know.

Speaker 1

I 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 2

Here, that's the best part, like of course.

Speaker 3

Our producers and talking with you, but literally to get off at the fifty seventh Street stop.

Speaker 1

And 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 2

Air it makes me feel so howard.

Speaker 1

Yeah, like the fucking jocks I listened to as a kid, well closet an eight year old.

Speaker 3

The 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 1

Okay, 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 2

You should talk about that in part two.

Speaker 1

I 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 2

Now, yeah, let's do a muff bang.

Speaker 1

And 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 3

Holding 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 1

It's like this turmeric thing and there was a ton of But if it's sealed right.

Speaker 3

I don't know, because I've heard of friends getting food poisoning from juice press.

Speaker 2

Are you serious it's from the bottled juices?

Speaker 1

Okay, 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 3

Well, 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 1

We can eat this granola.

This is fine.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I'll try the seasoning plund.

Speaker 6

Hmm.

Speaker 1

Okay, 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 2

This granola, it's kind of citrusy.

Speaker 1

And 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 2

I love my Shelvel wellness shot.

You always feel like you're fixing everything.

Speaker 1

A doctor before if you are planning surgery.

Speaker 2

Wait, sorry, before you take this.

Speaker 1

You can't have this if you're having surgery.

Speaker 2

So that kind of makes it seem like it actually does something.

Speaker 1

I doubt it.

I mean, what's it doctor?

Speaker 3

If you're nursing pregnant medical condition, planning surgery.

Speaker 1

These statements have not been a valuable pending.

Speaker 4

Uh oh tastes like orange juice, mango juice.

Speaker 3

I was expecting something so much stronger.

Yeah, more of a ginger shot.

Speaker 1

It's not really that gingery.

Speaker 2

It's kind of a thick mango.

I mean it's good.

Speaker 1

Actually because of it's not good the way it lingers on it out.

Actually don't like it.

Speaker 3

That's the aluminum that if you're planning surgery.

Speaker 1

We've got a Cafe latte Premiere protein shake.

Speaker 2

Oh, let's do that.

Speaker 3

Poor girl brought that and was like, no, I forgot about it.

Speaker 1

There's something very nineties about this.

One of my nannies used to drink slim Fast, my first nanny.

Speaker 2

It's one of the most nanny drinks.

Speaker 1

And 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 2

I'm fine with that.

I'm getting into the willower.

Speaker 3

My babysitter would do slim Fast, but then I feel like also be so eating a sleeve of non fat like cookies.

Speaker 1

Right, and it's just like, well if you're having the whole sleeve.

Speaker 3

Even though they're non fat.

And again it's like the nineties was all about.

Speaker 1

Is also gross, no fast gross.

Oh wait, there's a string cheese.

This will be good.

Speaker 2

Let me try the seasoning blend.

Speaker 3

I 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 1

You're kind of like, well, I have those I could just use those spices.

Speaker 2

Okay, it smells like pizza place.

Speaker 1

The spring cheese tastes like string cheese.

Speaker 3

Just to let you guys know, see, here's the thing, this is actually kind of good.

Speaker 1

The trader Joe is eating your words.

Speaker 2

It's mince garlic, sea salt, like parsley red pepper.

Speaker 1

When you try someone the string cheese, Wait.

Speaker 3

Why don't you give me a piece of string cheese and let's both put the seasoning on it.

Speaker 2

This is what I call pizza.

Speaker 1

That 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 2

Slapped with that one.

Mama Josephine Ate, here's why we're not stern.

Speaker 3

Is the most chaotic thing we can think of doing is having expired Walura shots.

Speaker 2

But that's just our generation, okay, And I'm not trying to copy.

Speaker 1

No, And like, while Lura is comedy to us, and it's like that's fine.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

I 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 1

But 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 2

No, No, that's not what I'm saying.

Speaker 3

I'm more like when people are like, you're exposing trash to America.

Speaker 1

Oh, they are revealing their own disgust for the underclass.

Speaker 3

Absolute and he's being like, okay, well if you think they're trash, yeah, No, I think Springer had much more.

Speaker 2

You know.

That's to get into his Psyche's another episode.

Speaker 3

But the episode I worked on was about beast reality and I had to walk a goat.

Speaker 1

Wait that somebody was fucking.

Speaker 3

Yeah outside of the studio because they brought in all these farm animals and they use some.

Speaker 1

Of them and it was like this like some podunk farmer being like, yes, I do, fuck my goat.

Speaker 3

Yeah, And it was him admitting to her, confronting him, being like you fuck goats.

Speaker 2

You're not fucking me enough.

You're fucking the goats too much.

Speaker 3

So then he shaved her head because she was like, sheer me like a sheep, because that's like what you're into.

Speaker 1

I mean, that's just good television, Like that's just produce.

Speaker 2

That's I mean, it wasn't real.

Speaker 1

There.

Speaker 3

He 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 2

See?

Uh yeah, But not to Howard for a second.

Speaker 3

I 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 2

I like, coming, you're just yourself.

Speaker 1

I love that seeing the movie.

Yeah, and it's so true.

And people like us the most when it's just.

Speaker 2

Us, right, just respond to being real.

Speaker 1

And every time that I feel like I don't want to do it or that I'm like, oh, this is like not the direction I want my life to be going in.

Or I'm bored, or I'm tired, or I'm hung over, or I'm sad because I'm going to break up.

It's like, I come here, we talk and we laugh, We have so much fun, and you're such a genius and you're so smart, and you're so and you're so good.

You don't just lift me up when I fall, but you fill in every gap that I didn't even know I had in my mind, and you just you fill it in.

Speaker 1

We can do our cold opens, but you'll see right through it's just being real right here on the ground.
