Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast,
firm Elvis Morning Show. Let's do it the fifteen minute
morning show podcast. We got a full house. We've got
Scottie b in the serial Killer studio, right, We've got Gandhi,
We've got Scared, We've got Danielle, We've got Straight Night.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
So what are we doing today?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
I say turn this off and go listen to the
Jim Kerr Howard Stern interview.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Wow, that was great. Look, you know, if your radio
nerves like us, what happened today celebrating fifty years on
morning New York City Radio are own Jim Kerr down
the Hall had Howard Stern on his show live. They
were both on each other's shows at the same time.
What an intriguing interview. It was, truly, Gwen, did.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
You first hear Howard?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Because back when you were younger or getting started, it
wasn't like today where you could just pull him up
on the Internet and it's like, oh my gosh, he's
on in Detroit. So when did you first hear a
Howard Stern on tape? It was tape? Okay, you had
these services. If you were a radio geek, you could
buy California air check. It before California airchecks, you could
buy recordings.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Of and what was the buzz like?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
A sentence just trying to finish his oat.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
What was the buzz like?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Was like, he there's this guy in Where was he
Detroit when you first heard him?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
No, no, I didn't hear Howard until he was in New
York at WNBC, and no. It was just I was
radio geek. I wanted to be in radio, and this
guy was like the blue guy who you know. They
they would spank lesbians and they would show boobs on
the radio, which was weird. He was a little different
back then than he is now. But we're like, well,
let's listen in. This guy's causing trouble.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I remember being a kid and my father would listen
in the afternoon and then I'm like, what is this
this dirty radio show my dad's listening to? Because yes,
as Elvis said, it was very provocative. So I would
go upstairs in my room and I would sneak it.
I would listen in the afternoon on sixty six w
and BC, which is the station he was on, and
I'm like, this guy is doing something I've never heard

(02:06):
on the radio because I used to, you know, be
a little button pusher. I have a little radio geeky
nerd at the time.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Still are still.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah, nothing's changed, but he was doing something that no
one was doing, and I was so fascinated by it.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well I remember, I mean it's much later and I
grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania, so we didn't have Howard.
But I would drive to Cleveland and just get in
listening range of whatever station he was on in Cleveland
and just sit there listening to Howard. I mean, there's
no other way to listen. But he is truly, You're great, Elvis,
he is, He's just something else.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, thanks, I mean you really aren't kind of stupid sometimes,
you know, but yeah, I know he's a legend and
beyond anything. But you don't say things like that. Well, no,
it's fucking rude as usual. Use your brain, man.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
You know what I'm trying to do, because it's so
crazy to me that you even look up to Howard Stern.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
No, I absolutely do.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
He's the I look at you as like equals with him.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Now see, now you're trying to.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Like you've been doing New York radio for thirty five
years and so he's been on in New York for
forty some years. So I look at you as equals
to me starting in eripa. No way you're like but
that's That's my point is that even you say, no,
I'm nothing like that.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
But I love about Howard is the evolution of Howard.
You listen to him now, he sounds nothing, really nothing
like he did back then, But there are these nuances
of Howard, like being smart and being fast to come
up with things to say. He still has that going on.
He's he's amazing. I think he has turned into one

(03:47):
of the best ever and his interviews are second to none,
without doubt.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
I feel like you guys are going to judge me
for this, but today hearing him talk to Jim Carr
was the first time I've ever heard.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Of Howard really.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, he's great, right, Yeah, it was great.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
That was just an impromptu interview, I remember.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
So my only real exposure to him was I saw
him on TV. He was his his radio show was also.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
On TV y yeah at one point, yeah on.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
E Yes, and it was out of friend's house because
I wasn't even allowed to watch TV and somebody had
worked really hard on making him this portrait and he
got it, and as soon as he got it, he
kicked through the face of it, and I was like,
this guy is mean and I never really paid attention
to him ever again until today.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
A lot of people didn't really care for Howard back then,
but a lot of people loved him. He had more
people that loved him than hated him. His ratings were huge.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Behind the scenes, sorry, I heard behind the scenes that
he was actually very nice, where like if somebody needed
money and intern or something like that, he would give money.
He was very very generous. Well, there you go.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Do you remember that insane show that he had locally
here on w R channel.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Nin channel nine.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah, it was just it was bananas like that.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
It would never fly on to you. What is it?
I don't even know what you're talking about. It was
basically a TV version of his radio show. It was
pretty launchy.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, they got pretty raunchy. Yeah, they did black face
and stuff. What are you doing? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (05:02):
That was different than the show that was on E Yes, Yeah, it.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Was he was down version.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Didn't he do fart Man or something?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
The MTV well, it started as MTV Video Music Wars.
He flew around as fartman fighting over.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
The audiences where the movie starts. Remember, yeah, pretty parts.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Anyway, it was great listening to uh Howard and Jim
Kerr today. That was pretty awesome pretty much.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah, Jim's the best. I love him.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, and Jim, oh my God, like to hear him
open up like that. I mean, I never you know,
we passed the guy every morning he smoked a cigarette outside.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Good morning. You know. He does that to you as
you walk in. And everybody's got a story.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Like you said, we're all different too. I mean, Jim
is the kind of guy who really isn't going to
lay it all out of the He's.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
Like, he's very private.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
He is, and he's the official rock and roll master.
He knows all about the stars. He's known the Beatles
and other artists and things like that. We all have
our own different things we do or don't do.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
If I ever saw him wearing a color, I think
I'd have a heart.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yea.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
His closet has to be like a witch's clost all
black everything, because that's all he wears every day, all black.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
Right. Yes, he's one of the reasons why I'm here,
Like I is he your father?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I saw your post. I did a very nice post
online to him.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yeah, I mean I he is what made me catch
the radio bug. I started listening to him when I
was probably eleven years old, and I want a contest
on that radio station. And ever since that day, that's
all I ever wanted to do was radio. So I
was a big giant pain in the ass to him
and every DJ on that radio station, and I became
friends with them and it really got me into radio.

(06:40):
And the fact that now I can pe next to
him every morning is just so.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
So strange.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
You probably looked, don't you.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
The thing is too high.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Barrier, the partition.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, figured.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay texting someone sorry busy. Hey you're from Arie, Pennsylvania. Yeah,
that's it, that's all I wanted to say. No, I
know with the eclipse coming up. Yeah, so Arie is
right in line down that corridor of eclipse watching in the.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Path, directly in the path and Ganda. You might know this.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't think the next solar eclipse happens for what
twenty six years or something like that.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
I'm looking at him. I thought it was like forty one.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
But you might be right, Well that's gonna be that's
gonna be when is the eclipse.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Over Erie the eighth of April.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's gonna be the second darkest day in Arie after
the day you started rating.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Can I tell you my first day. I was the
intern on the Morning show and they sent me out
to a gas station which was a country fair, which
was our version of like come and go or wah
wah or whatever. And they had me sing Kenny Rogers
the Gambler and take my clothes off for the person
working behind the counter.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
I was a stupid stunt guy.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
And then they had me dress up as the Easter Bunny.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Can you do that again? Don't you think we need
a stupid time on the show?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Definitely? I I was almost a rested three times.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I I mean I did some stupid shit. I was
dressed as the Easter Bunny and I had to help
people program their clocks ahead. It was that stupid spring
forward thing. And then the police were called on me
because they thought I was going to rob the bank.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I mean it was a whole I dressed as the
Easter Bunny.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah, because unbeknownst to me, the bank that I was
in front of was robbed the day before.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Oh so They're like, we have something crazy is going on.
There's some kind of bunny costumes.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Radio stunts. Man, those were the days, stupid.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Did you ever do those? Never?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, I never did, ever, ever, never did that.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
You were way above that. Well no, just did scary
ever do that stuff? Never? No, no, nope, there's Greg
t No. Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
You know one of the first things I ever do
because I started in promotions, and the promotions manager at
the time said, listen, you don't ever give people stuff
for free. You make them work for it. So if
they want a T shirt, they worked for it. So
I remember it was nineteen ninety five. I was at
the Wreck to Cheese Quake rest area on the Garden
State Parkway and there were these two girls that said,
we want a T shirt. I'm like, all right, well,
I'll trade you these bumper stickers for your bikini tops.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
So they went in to the bathroom and they put
bumper stickers on and they started on the Garden State Parkway.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Wait, are you're emitting this?

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Well yeah, I mean I it was a long time ago.
The statute are limitations is right out.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't think that. I actually don't think that works anymore.
I think it's did they just passed that law.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Now they can come back and get you.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
But I didn't do anything. I didn't touch them. No,
but the police came. It was a whole thing.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Garrett got here just in time.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Welcome Garrett. Yeah, you just who did Scotty touch?

Speaker 5 (09:39):
He didn't touch.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Anyone showed up for Scotty to admit a felony. If
I was, if I was in court right now, you
would be guilty. I don't know what you did.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Exactly. He's guilty. He went to a rest stop. These
two girls wanted T shirts. He said, okay, I'll trade
T shirts for your bikini tops, no bumper stickers whatever.

Speaker 6 (09:58):
They covered the and they gave you.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
The bikini and well they waved to cars on the
Garden State Parkway and then the police came.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
It through me in which station was this? Is he
one hundred not on my show? It wasn't no, not
on your show.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
That had to be a summer weekend. It was the
station that reaches the beaches and rules the pool.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
And something we did, something to teachers reaches reaches the
teachers and rules the schools.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
That was another on Something to teach do.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Your booger line, my booger line.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Take your friends.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose,
but you can't wipe your friends on the couch.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Ryan would rip that off all the time. He ripped
you off all the time.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, look at that is his failing career.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh, we're worried. I think we're done. Yes, Scott, he's done.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
