bcprs1 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I was listening to Howard Stern today and they were asking trivia questions with Sal the stockbroker and Eric the midget. They asked Sal who the 2 presidents were during the Civil War. Sal mentioned the Atari game Custer's Revenge thinking Custer was one of the presidents. Gary Dell'abate then mentioned how the game was a porno game and described the goal of the game. Eventually they showed Howard screen shots and gave a full discription of the game play. Funny where Atari can turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFK Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Heard that on the way to work today and had to sit in the parking lot for about 5 minutes to listen to the end. I was pretty amazed that Sal knew Custer's Revenge for the 2600. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder his wife had an emotional friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GideonsDad Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 ...and still nothing redeeming comes from Howard Stern and his friends. Someone should hack it, make Howard tied to the pole and make the "midget" Custer and send him the screen caps GideonsDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I think Sal's a jackass. But I have respect for everyone else on the show, both those I've worked with and those I haven't.

Warriorisabouttodie Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 what got me was Sal thought George Washington was the president during the civil war and Custer was the president of the Confederacy but somehow he knows about an obscure Atari 2600 game lol the guy is a total freak and yet somehow he is successful in life and has a dream job making phoney phone calls... There is a lesson to be learned in there someplace, but I don't know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Heh, that's pretty funny that it was brought up on the air. Sal is such an unbelievable barely functional moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightDriver2600 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 If they were going to talk about an Atari game on the air, is it really a surprise to anyone that this was the one mentioned? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Rush Limbaugh but if you like him, well that's just fine. It's what makes the world go round there Mister Judgey! Like the Yankees, half the fun of being a Stern fan is that so many people hate them. I love the spewing of hatred. It amazes me to no end and makes me laugh. There are going to be people in this life that do not share your opinion. You should laugh more as it was blatently obvious Bill was joking. He even put on a "hey look! I'm joking" icon. You may have seen them before. They look like this. In retrospect, perhaps he should have used the winky one, but I think he is probably okay with being poofed. As I think I am going to be poofed next can you do it gently? Oh, and Sal does suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Looks like it got some people interested in Custer's Revenge too. The only loose copy on Ebay has a $80 price on it so far with 2+ days to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're allowed to express your opinion, but I'm not (even if I'm doing it tongue in cheek). Oh well. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in 7th grade, my mother would listen in the car when he was on WNBC 660. We only heard very little as she would turn it off in disgust most of the time. (Yet every ride home, he was back on again.) When I got my own car at 16, he was on K-Rock in the late 80's and I have been listening every morning since. If I may pry, when were you with the show? Any good stories? Is Fred as cool as I think he is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the writers on his Fox late night pilot and I was also a writer on his animated show "Doomsday." I liked Fred. He's very bright and talented.
