Listening to the roll call stuff and I'm blown away at how dumb literally every staff member except Lisa sounds. They all live in a hilarious bubble world and it's really funny to see them, a group of the whitest people you can imagine, struggle to come to terms with stuff black radio did. Listening to Jason Kaplan and Jon Hein and Booey, 3 of the whitest people on the planet, struggle with the idea that this existed and wasn't some prerecorded bit on a tiny niche station is fascinating.

Jeff seems to think it's Eric Andre, but it's not. You can see him on one of the Howard Stern Youtube/Facebook videos when he's playing with Beetlejuice in the hallway after his latest interview. Also the same guy who called in as Cancer when Robin returned.

Jeff should be so happy because he's no longer Jeff the Bore now that he has a foil to play off of. I watched one of his Periscopes earlier and it was absolute poo poo without anything going on so I'm leaving it to poor JD or Shuli to trawl through for rare good stuff for the actual Stern show.

That all sounds about right. I wonder why they are deliberately hiding him like that, it's pretty much the opposite treatment for any other staff member.

Sometimes I think their bubble world is a put on because no one wants to admit they have heard of something before, or could see people doing that, or whatever. I remember when Richard was talking about seeing people dip pizza in ranch dressing at a Pizza Hut the entire room acted like it was unheard of. How do you not know people do that? I probably know 10 people who do that. I can understand Howard not knowing, he is a guy who had 3 different meals at his wedding but they were all fish, but fat rear end Fast Food "Expert" Jon Hein...it isn't possible.

I had literally never heard of that before Richard's story about the fat ladies at the Pizza Hut buffet. Never. Sounds loving gross to me, specially given the low quality of fast-food ranch.

It might be a regional thing: I'm from the Boston area and my girlfriend claims to have seen ranch on pizza in the midwest.

Dipping sauce is a huge thing in Ontario because our pizza is so bad. I'm pretty sure ranch is often one of the options. I never heard of dipping pizza crust in sauces until I moved here. It wasn't a thing in Quebec and I worked in my dads pizza restaurant.

You get a pizza but you need the illusion of health so you make a salad to go with and and all you have is some ranch dressing because you're like 15 and what other dressing would you have (oil and water? vinaigrette? please howard) then you have some crust left over and you realize you can dip some in the ranch and it tastes better. It's not that crazy a story.

I've dipped pizza crust in ranch before because I'm a guy with little shame when it comes to food. But I've never drenched my pizza in it. Were the people in Richard's story just putting ladles full of ranch on their plates?

Yeah, I get how he trashes fast food, when discussing Jon Hein and/or JD, but he really will attack any food that's not out of Nobu (or however you spell it) or some other fancy place. Sorry that not everyone can spend 800 million GRAAAAAND each time they dine.

I want to say that I've heard of that, but I can't remember a specific example. Other Quebecisms, as my wife is telling me right now (she's from here, I've only been here for 2 years now) is spreading margarine on pizza crust right before you eat it, and, of course, mayonnaise on fries (ew). (EDIT: Also, EngineerJoe, you didn't work at your dad's pizza restaurant... you worked at his pitsa-ria).

Not food-related, but my son's daycare said that they needed us to buy him splash pants for the fall/spring. I immediately knew what they were, but my wife (and other people in QC I asked) had no clue what I was talking about. Anyone else mystified as to what splash pants are? I was kind of blown away that they're apparently not a big thing here in Quebec.

There were two times I can remember when Artie had the McGriddle and the Burger King croissant sandwich and Howard couldn't stop talking about how good they look. Looking back I kind of wonder if they were just commercials.

Which is even worse than ranch. I worked at a pitser-ia a few years ago, and we had this massive tub of garlic butter that we would pour into little cups whenever it was requested. By itself, it's basically pure fat, and it's pretty much the most disgusting thing imaginable.

Half the pizza places in the midwest give you a cup of ranch to dip the crusts in. It's hardly weird.

It's only weird to native New Yorkers (or, everyone on the staff) because

a) NYC Natives tend to suffer from a group mental illness where they're actually proud of never having been west or south of Philadelphia in their lives, why would they need to, NYC has everything!!
and
b) every pizza in New York comes with its own, built-in puddle of grease so no one needs ranch.

Nah, not commercials, it's just what it sounds like when you take a neurotic freak who purposefully starves himself of any indulgences in life and introduce him to things like fast food. He desperately wants to eat it but his brain tells him one burger or sandwich will make him gain 3 pounds(the horror!) and take 5 months to work off and he goes back to being miserable.

It's a total bubble world on that show. Some people live in it by choice, others like Gary and Fred just know not to rock the boat because disagreeing with Howard on these "I live my life the proper way anything else is WRONG" rants is a surefire way to earn his ire for the next 30-60 minutes.

Plus, if we're being totally honest here it seems 100% like someone from NYC to be a food snob. It's not even about eating at Nobu or Daniel or whatever it's just if there's even a hint of a chain behind the food or it somehow being mass produced instead of handmade by the disgusting 73 year old Italian man who you know drat well never washes his hands after using the bathroom and chain smokes while preparing the food then it's automatically an inferior meal that shouldn't dare grace their sensitive palettes. Same goes for other foodie cities like Austin, LA, San Fran, etc. people just have that air about them when they live there long enough and you can just see the douche leaking out of them when you start talking about food.

Toppers even has two kinds of ranch. Also chocolate and vanilla frosting, and other weird stuff.

Every time I've been in there the guy at the register was totally stoned, so they definitely cater to people with the munchies. If you're high enough you can order a pizza of thousand island dressing as sauce with tater tots and macaroni and cheese as toppings. Howard would probably get sick just reading the menu.

The buffalo sauce there is amazing. gently caress everyone.

Oh please. It's not food snobbery. It's just that the 80 million local pizzerias in NYC don't serve ranch dressing with a slice. So it's weird to us. That's all. Papa Johns may do that with every pizza, but AFAIK they really haven't been in NYC until pretty recently. Also don't confuse the everyday 99 cent slice and dirty water hotdog eating New Yorkers from the shut in millionaires who don't know how subways and pharmacies work. The core crew of this show is pretty far from reality.

My favorite example of this was an old fight week clip where Howard was saying how getting a house in the Hamptons isn't for him (ha) and people were trying to convince him to go. Ralph of all people chimed in to say how the city is empty on weekends because "everyone" goes to the Hamptons. :rolleyes:

I thought ranch dressing on pizza/dipping pizza in ranch was just some made-up goon stereotype. I am a native NYCer though.

I've been to six different countries, and up & down the east coast of the US, but never encountered ranch dressing for pizza somehow.

Pizza in New York is better, simple fact. It's the water, most people think. (Hence why bagels are better, too.)

The fast food crap that most people are talking about in this thread isn't pizza at all, let's be real here.
