Show used to be funny sometimes when Gutfeld hosted. Lately...not so much. Booking Shuli is an all-time low!
I listened to the show since the early 90's and can't for the life of me remember how this Shuli guy appeared. Even listening to Sirius the first time around, I don't remember him at all. Now that I've listened to the ETM saga a million times over, I hear him chiming in sometimes. I guess I never really paid attention to him. But for some reason I love all the contempt for him and all the threads that shit on his life and career. I'm not sure why that is. Perhaps because even when life is at its worst, I'm still thankful that I'm not him.
I think he was in the stupid fake Win John's Job contest. That's the first I remember him being around.
He was and he came in DEAD LAST in the voting but Howard still hired him. Before that he frequently called the show with lame games and questions.
He used to call the show (when he lived in Vegas) with games and quizzes. Provided free content, which endeared him to Wiggy. I think he was officially "hired" thru the Win John's Job contest.
This has to be by far the largest stage on which he will have ever failed... right?! In a sensche, this could be great.
So odd to have a ring of dark hair around your head, but it just won't grow on the top. And someone else had pointed out that lump on his neck. Gross.
Howard once summed up Shuli's involvement with the show fairly well: "His parents thought he was a failure growing up because he would get up at 3 am just to listen to the show and call in…Shuli was like a caller for 10 years, and instead of going to college, he would just sit in his room calling us because he knew one day it would pay off and he’d get a job with us…you realize, like, Shuli is Bobo except with a little bit higher IQ."
What the fuck has happened to the Stern Show, it's going the way of TrimSpa! fucking classic! Artie on Fire! great post!!
Shuli was a regular caller at first. That's where his comedy "dues" paid off. Howard hired him for peanuts after the bullshit win John's job contest came out. Richard had already been hired but they carried on with the charade for 10 weeks so Howard didn't have to do fuck all.
