an adult beverage posted:I definitely think there's more enjoyment in knowing the guys. But, there are lots of great prank calls that stand on their own. I've sent about a dozen to my non-Stern listening friends and they love the Tradio calls. Their favorite is the pharmacy prank call where "Ethel" has the dry heaves and Richard plays clips of some porn dude cumming. I showed my friend who's not familiar with the show at all the clip of the two female Swap Shop hosts (or was it just a bulletin board show?) talking about the exotic pets, blumpkin pie, and 'dropping loads', and he loved it, so I agree that there are some generally great calls. But yeah, I think Richard is funnier to us and the staff of the show than to the general public

That's always been one of the strengths of the Stern show -- because it was a long program (~5 or 6 hours a day, 5 days a week) and they'd refer to previous incidents, you built up a fabric of continuity, where a one-off joke could be completely hilarious because of some existing context that wouldn't be apparent the first time you listened. (I did not care for Fred's sound effects when I started listening, but as I started to recognize them and understand their meanings, they became beloved to me.)

First time I really listened to the show couple years ago I was baffled by the sound effects and why is there this generic obviously white news lady commenting everything Howard says?

To be fair, the quality of the news segment has gone down hill drastically; it used to be the highlight of the show, and now Howard pretty much sleeps through it. In part, I blame the internet. In the old days, Robin was an actual newswoman, with a teletype machine, and several interns to dig through news articles and help her assemble the stories for the day. Now she pretty much just recycles clickbait lists.

It was always great to hear her trying to read something serious like a death, or an issue in the middle east and then you have someone like Gilbert in studio who just ignores and talks over her while everyone else is dying laughing.

When I listened regularly (2002 - 2009) the news was far and away the best segment of the show. It's a shame that stuff doesn't find its way into the Best of segments at all.

The news used to be great because it was also an opportunity for comedians to sit in without being formally booked as a guest. It wasn't as structured as an interview and they didn't have to bring in any prepared material, they could just spontaneously comment and be funny. It was really cool and kind of genius, looking back on it. The closest they've come to doing something like that was when Kyle sat in studio to do the Perez and Donald Sterling voice. Howard let him drop the act at one point and he and Robin just chatted with him. Kyle is hardly an A list guy but it was still refreshing hearing them talk candidly with another person in the studio while other poo poo was going on.

"one jungle bunny imported from Nigeria" lmao "I know so many moms who would love to have that for mothers day" The day I don't laugh at that just kill me, I'm not the same person anymore.

I still think that call is fake as loving hell. They read everything, their pronunciations are so on the nose, the clapping, the music choices, it just oozes it being a work. I'm a Tradio Truther.

If your feeling gay, wanna roll in the hay, who ya gonna call? KC ARMSTRONG! If you need some butt, wanna bust a nut, who ya gonna call? KC ARMSTRONG! Der nur der nur der nur der nur der dur dunna na, ner nu ner nu ner nu ner nu der dur dunna na "Errr...I ain't homophobic" I am really glad KC is doing better, I've been listening to his Todd Packer packs (I highly recommend the first 2, but not the last cos its really depressing) and you forget how much he added to the show.

You got a link? I think today at work will be a KC day. Edit: quick question... There are two voices used in a few prank calls, and I don't know who they belong to. Voice 1: "Ten minutes times ten cigarettes, how long is it?" (and I believe this is the same person who says "are you kidding me?" in a strained, angry voice) Voice 2: "Hello? This is a fascinating topic. Can I ask you a serious question?" (sort of sounds like Wood Ye, is it him? I don't have a direct link, because I don't recall who it is that they're pranking.)
