I was at a red light, listening to this, laughing hysterically, with years running down my face. A cop pulled up next to me and actually got out of his car to check that I was okay. I could barely speak, he heard what I was listening to and started laughing too. Funniest thing ever.b
I will never forget this when it was live! I was waiting for the Huntington DMV to open, hoping to be first on line. Was cracking up so damn hard , and couldn't stop laughing for an hour. The DMV lady thought I was wasted. Breuer's Long Island stories are just the best, because they are all so relate-able if, like me, you grew up there.
Breuer doing the broad yelling at the scooter kid sounds like every Billy West impression. You can picture the curlers under the kerchief, the terrycloth robe, the fluffy slippers, the triple-decker neighborhood with asbestos siding shingles, the clotheslines . . .
I remember driving home from Newark, NJ to the suburbs of Middletown when I heard this originally and had to pull over on the NJ Turnpike because I was laughing and crying so hard. His description visually NAILS IT for any of us who grew up in the Tri-State area, the summers and having fireworks on us as kids. Man, I miss those days... fireworks, bb guns, no helmets... today's kids (my son included) have lost out. PS - We had scooters, mopeds and dirtbikes we used to tear it up with!
I remember this when it was a live broadcast. I was driving and had to pull over because I was laughing so hard I couldn't focus on the road. It was the choking dog that got me.
I'M DYING!!!!! My sides hurt so fucking bad. I just had one of those laughs where you have to take a minute afterwards to calm down and wipe the tears from your eyes. I think it's safe to say at this particular moment in time, Jim was the funniest man on Earth.
this and Jim's Heavy Metal Freakout are most amazing things he ever did on the show. but Spreadtheonavirus is down and all the archive has gone. i hope there is someone who has some of those old, classic bits. hope we see Heavy Metal Freakout on youtube one day...
can you imagine these nowadays big comedians like Jesselnik and whoever else coming in to the radio show and just have fun by being themselves, making shit like that just because they are that talented? god, O&A had some golden generation of comics coming into their show.
