He's right about black theaters. I was 9 and went to see the first "Ninja Turtles" movie in the only theater that wasn't sold out. In the blackest part of Cincinnati, no less. Every fucking time the Turtles fought, the audience lost their minds. Shouting, throwing stuff at the screen, doing Karate in the aisles. Most of them were grown-ass adults. Mom made the mistake of "shushing" a black woman, and we got the hell out of there. "Es-cuse me?!" I still have nightmares about it.
God bless you folks that still have their Howard Stern tapes and put them on RU-vid. I used to have a drawer full of nearly entire shows and they are lost in moves or just tossed out. Ugh.
@@optimisticcosmic of course he's embellishing , and the war thing is a running joke but he did go to a rough school. His neighborhood and school were going through a huge change and his folks were one of the last to move
I swear this brings back memories of why we (Black family) stopped going to the Magic Johnson Theater in Los Angeles.😂 They would put their feet up on the seats, talk during the entire film and just be loud and obnoxious. It was truly unbearable.
I went and saw Jason vs Freddy in Flint MI and a fist fight broke out in the aisle between 2 strangers arguing over who was better. Everytime Jason or Freddy came on screen the place erupted with noise. It was the craziest movie experience I've ever had.
@@charlest5604had a very similar experience, same movie, in Philadelphia. It wasn’t even a bad neighborhood by Philly standards but boy did they flock to the theater anyway. In Philly there’s a lot of black Muslims, lotta them turned out. These people have not even the slightest clue how to behave in a public setting
@@augustwest8863 just because I despise you doesnt make me a racist... just because my mother is black doesn't mean I won't hate you for being irresponsible, racist, unfair and violent, untrustworthy and so so so fuckin disapointing
@@augustwest8863 so the truth is racist? When Howard Stern got beat up at school he was racist then ? And am I racist for despising you? For calling me racist not giving a f if my mother is black cause you would call me a cracker or a jeeeew to my face? Cause you would try to beat my ass too? FOH
I used to always think he was over stating how black Roosevelt was but he wasn't- it was seriously 75% black, 20% Hispanic and 5% white, even today it's about 50/50 black and Hispanic while only 3% white
It was one of the earliest attempts post ww2 for the attempt at forced integration by the government. It's well documented that Roosevelt went from virtually all white to majority black at a very rapid pace. Real estate agents were sent in to try to get people to sell their homes and then once word spread that it was black families being brought in a selling frenzy began and the white flight became a very real phenomenon. Howard's definitely not lying when he says it happened in what felt like overnight.
This is the best kind of Stern. Just the cast talking, laughing. I was 13 when I started listening. It was February 1987. I listened until 2010, but truth be told, after Howard started seeing a shrink, then when he got divorced and Jackie left, the show started to go down hill. Artie tried to keep it afloat, but Howard's move to Serius and the years that followed, pretty much sucked. After a while, there just wasn't any more laughter in that studio. It wasn't a hang session anymore. And besides which, Howard became the kind of person he use to make fun of. So I just listen to Classic Stern now. 1986 - 1996. The greatest decade of the show!
exactly. jackie leaving was a huge blow. artie was good but self-destructive so wasnt going to be there long-term. and after serius, its just a love fest between millionaires. boring.
Imagine blaming everything but your own actions for your misbehavior. You pay to see a movie and you have people jumping around the aisles, shooting at the screen and etc. There is no excuse for those actions. Social, economic etc.
It's funny, I live on Long Island and I can relate to all of the towns they're talking about. Roosevelt is still a shit hole. So is Hempstead and Wyandach. Rockville Centre is rich.
My dad owned a lathe in our basement. Both hands pointer fingers were like half a centimeter shorter then they should have been. One of the 2 times I got attacked in High School was in shop class.... crazy.
I was in high school at this time,I hated having to get out of the car and go into school when they were in the middle of something good. I had to be patient and wait a mere THIRTY years to hear the rest of these uninterrupted🤪
Black neighborhoods, schools, and everything else will never change. It was the same in the 60s, 80s, and you know it's the same today. Civilization just ain't in their blood
When roots came out in the 70s I was in a grade school that was an equal mix of whites, blacks and Hispanics and four Japanese American kids. And walking home that year, I would get jumped by groups of black kids and as they kicked me they'd yell out, my name is kuntakinday over and over, I was in forth grade I didn't even know what the he'll they were talking about or why they were so mad. In my later years I learned why.
I agree- what's up with that? It's hard to be a sidekick, you've got to be on your toes and ask questions, you're a part time hype-man promoting stuff, but you can't overshadow or annoy the host with the large yet fragile ego, so you've got to be bland and laugh a lot. Then they get shit on by people who have no clue about what their situation is. Ed McMahon used to get similar jibes from people for doing the same thing for decades on the Tonight Show.
I think it's bad, or at least was bad, if you're one of the few minorities that goes to a school where the majority is a different race. Chris rock went to all white schools and was severely bullied.
@@crystalwater505 Oh yeah? There was only a couple of blacks in my school and if u even LOOKED at em crosseyed the people in charge would fuckin be all over you...
@@crystalwater505 that's prob bc he was skinny and weak not bc he was black We had 2 black kids in my HS, girl and boy, and they were both popular and extroverts
@@lockandloadlikehell it was because he was black, haven’t you watched “everybody hates Chris.” It’s different now a days but I was one of the few black girls at my high school. It was weird because you were ignored but also hyper visible at the same time.
Love how Howard talks about blacks how they really are, without fear of what they could say. I'm guessing thats why Howard hired Robin so he could get away with talking about blacks .
That's horrifying. I've looked up the demographics of all the schools in my home town and they are all similar somehow even though it's inexplicable.... I don't see how the high school I went to could be 30% black! What it has to be is white parents simply won't let their kids attend schools like that, driving the white student body down. BTW, I grew up in Colorado where people still talk about Columbine... since my High School has become 30% there has been a shooting there now too... only THAT one was in and out of the news after one day... can you guess why?
This was the first year of the E! show run from '94-'05. Howard was 40 y/o...17:37 LMAO. This brings back hilarious memories of the show during its peak. 💯
I still can’t figure out what warrants Robin being a multimillionaire. I understand her role is to appease everything Howard does and defend his b.s. she isn’t funny, doesn’t even write the news, and has very limited qualities in relating to the common person
With Robin in the room Howard could be racist and sexist without getting in too much trouble. He could say how am I a racist or sexist? I hired black lady!
There was one time me and two other guys went into this little room with scrap wood in the back of out wood shop and we started lighting varnish on fire and would just watch it burn until it went out... which now looking back could have gone SO terribly wrong, IDK what the fuck we were thinking.
anyone who has ever gone to school with black people universally agrees on what wonderful well behaved, respectful, rational, non-violent people they are.
Does anyone remember when he told a relatively short story about the JDL (Jewish defense league) recruiting him and a friend to go beat up some people?? Can’t find it anywhere!!
I have trouble believing 99% of Howard’s early childhood and growing up stories. They all just sound like that kid that had a girlfriend that went to a different school and was too busy to come to his birthday party
@@lt.finglefubledingler1972 Exactly this. He was a complete social outcast who even the nerds wouldn't hang out with but now if you ask him he had a hot girlfriend, he was all the rage at summer camp blah blah blah.
I caught my high school shop teacher driving hash bottle tokes in his car at lunch! I knocked on the window and asked if he had enough for the rest of the class. Good times!!
I have that same peppers story. brought peppers into my inner city school for music day. everybody with their rap albums thought i was a total nut. such a memorable moment in my youth that happened to be experienced by stern 20 years earlier. crazy
I got hit with a chair in the arm it woulda hit me in the head and then I gave him a Gary beating and slammed his face off the table and then held his head on the table and punched him like ten times there was blood all the way from the cafeteria to the nurses office I thought my arm was broken but dude took a beating
Dude how in the fuck did they just let kids run this ridiculously dangerous equipment without like weeks and weeks of scaring the shit out of them first with horror stories of what will happen if you screw around. Quit screwing around back there!
Howard peaked during Billy’s time. Howard’s talent was having the right people around him. He was a glorified board op. Without robin in his ear (why she was in a booth), Jackie feeding him lines/jokes, Fred playing funny sound clips, Billy doing incredible impressions, Gary allowing himself to be humiliated, Stuttering john having the courage to ask insulting questions no one did… Howard is an empty suit. Howard was cheap in those years. Plus, he wanted all the accolades as if no one else contributed. His fragile ego couldn’t take anyone on the show getting attention. And I won’t go into how he used addicts he encouraged, mentally & physically disabled people, etc. for fodder to laugh at. No matter how hard he tries he will never be able to wash off what he’s done and said in the past.
I do remember him being angry if anyone else had side projects to promote. I can see not doing it for outsiders but he resented his own crew having some limelight. It was a bad look
By that "logic", The Office would have been a pretty crappy show if Michael Scott had been the only character in the office, and Seinfeld would have been lousy if the show was only Jerry sitting alone in his apartment.
Gary has told this story before & what Gary Doesn’t Say here or isn’t able (Cuz Howard cuts him of) too say .... is that The fight happened Cuz Gary Called the Kid The Big N* Bomb with the HARD ER, & in school , Gary had to know a fellow classmate was gonna fight or try to beat him etc.... if you have static with someone in school & you call them any name, then they comin after you (unless they dont think it’s worth it or are a lil scared) but that’s what school is for, Get the fights in being young and silly (pre 16 or 16 at latest & don’t do a ton of damage lol) but it’s actually very valuable leaning limits & repercussions & for your actions & also how to behave & interact through your years at school Etc....the school politics / hierarchies / Expectations (Norm) / clicks / how to deal with or Handle Bullies / How to get girls & experience dating / how to interact & relate with people from all diff backgrounds etc But idk how it is today in schools... I graduated a lil under a decade ago
This has largely disappeared today with political correctness and woke culture. One needs to be weathered by reality to mature. Political correctness and woke culture are social engineering, one hundred percent intentional and aimed at an objective - churn out a generation of kids that come from broken, dysfunctional homes who remain bratty children into adulthood.
"Get the fights in being young and silly (pre 16 or 16 at latest & don’t do a ton of damage lol) but it’s actually very valuable leaning limits & repercussions & for your actions & also how to behave & interact through your years at school" Fighting in school is "silly" and "valuable"?.
Do most people realize that Howard only attended Rosevelt High for one year? He attended the majority of his high school at a very affluent high school in Rockville Center. His parents and sister says that he lies about being beaten daily at school. He also had a PE teacher on that said that Howard was only threatened once in the ninth grade.
I pieced this kid up at a roller skating rink one time in the kiddy area it was like a separate area that had a 4ft wall around it and people would go in there to fight so this was the big fight you know this kid challenged me who was bigger than me and was like be there at 8 or whatever time you know and I found out I’m good at fighting with skates on I was flying around hitting this kid at will I went nuts I actually feel bad about that I was strong for being like 11
Oh my God” this clip is so funny, I feel bad for Howard Stern getting beat up in High school (Roosevelt) he is tough; that is why he is the man he is today!
He's not tough. He's the biggest vagina of all time. A tough guy doesn't contractual force his opponents to not talk about him. A tough guy doesn't throw a hissy fit when someone goofs on them.
