@@mikec2988 sals a complete douche. But trust me, way more people tune in for his phony phone calls than tune in to hear Richard Simmons placate and indulge fat people
I recall Sal quicklly learning what "HR!" is and he'd get so scared every time he went too far and stepped in it. You would have thought it was the Galatic Empire. "And now I have to have a meeting with HRRRR!"
Howard was known for using extra bass/microphones that made him sound a little "extra" for lack of a better term, similar to Alex Jones. I believe the main technique is compression combined with a fine hand on the EQ. That being said, Howard's voice in this sounds like him but less clean and only *slightly* higher at times. Mostly his timbre and pitch remain the same, but the extra bass/compression made his voice deeper/"nicer".
One of my favs is when sal says "just wait a second, I gotta turn the gas up on this grill".... Then you hear a giant explosion and Sal yelling for his life...who comes up w that?! Lmaoo
Love or hate Howard you gotta appreciate how he listens and calls in to his own show to compliment them on the work they do. He truly loves the craft of broadcasting and would do anything for good air, which is why sal works there
I remember being disappointed after buying a satellite radio and then howard was only 4 days a week. And him and robin calling was annoying because they should have just came in then...doing the show on the phone? Lol
Richard Simmons is more schtick than Benjy can even dream about. His entire life has been an act. I'd love to see how he acts in the privacy of his own home.
Might have been schtick, but he put it to good use for himself and others, Mr. Bronk certainly can't say the same. Sadly seems like the guy has lost all joy for life. Supposedly just sits in his palace, alone, and his maids take care of him.
In case anyone is wondering why Howard and Robin sounds so much different over the phone it's because the phone is far cheaper and hasn't been tuned to their voices specifically. It's not a radio voice thing, I think they're still doing their radio voice in this. Just the difference between professional equipment and consumer equipment.
All the mics in Howards studio have been Eq'd to their specific voices. Certain frequencies in the midrange band have been cut to clean up the sound for clarity sake. The same goes for singers and instruments on stage and in the studio.
Funny how Richard got upset about Sal making fun of fat people and then he makes a joke about Jays mom having Alzheimer's. Talk about someone being a hypocrite and a drama queen
It’s always a bit, the man is highly intelligent and that’s why he’s such a good businessman, and made tons of money. He’s perfectly capable of acting normal, but it’s always a bit.
You ever see old videos of Jim Brown, how after he was tackled, he'd stay down, then slowly get back up, slowly walk back to the huddle? He was preserving energy. He figured out football was all short bursts, so he protected what made his money. Howard talks for his money. He figured out that lowering his voice protected it...but loser, UA-cam dipshits think its just a put on to impress them...
Well you're going to have to be more specific, he ran out crying quite a bit, ha. If you are referring to the video that has been on youtube for a while then this clip is before that.
Richard was AMAZING. I always assumed Howard and the crew would have figured out after 20 years, that he always ended "comedy" interviews dramatically...come on, he does the "Alzheimer's" bit after he's supposedly offended...for the show. And yet they all still fall for it and think he's genuine. Richard was Andy Kaufman...and yet he also genuinely helped fat people. It such a shame he's retired.
Gotta love Richard Simmons going on and on about fat people then making a joke about somebody’s mother having dementia. Nobody chose to have dementia, virtually every obese person had a hand in making themselves obese. Tool
Yeah that's what I thought exactly...fat people have a choice to stop eating Alzheimer's patients can't remember how to eat, swallow, ECT. Get a life richie
It’s not ok to make fun of fat people, which is completely self inflected. But Simmons then makes fun of the hosts mom with Alzheimer’s. Yea, that makes a lot of sense
Simmons handled it fairly well… That prank phone call did more to fight against fat-shaming… …PS, I gained weight, and a little ribbing got me to lose 100 lbs, but everyone is different. I don’t think ppl do it to hurt anyone, but I get how demoralizing it can be…
@@michaelmorales2412 I know, I meant to say that I find it strange that both Howard and Robin called into the wrap up show. That doesn't seem to happen very often.
@@deirochimaru25 They were closing ranks around Sal given the seriousness of the Corporate Suits having had a "come to Beaver meeting" with Fla Fla Flunky.
Howard on the phone sounds like Sal pretending to be Howard.
You nailed it! Awesome!
Wow. I thought the same thing. I came here to comment that lol.
Traction.
That must be more what he sounds like in person so Sal's imitation is probably pretty close.
🎯
The idea that sal and richard get yelled at by corporate people, is the greatest thing ever
I'd yell to cause its a business to keep up a good reputation with its listeners and it takes a long time to earn respect.
@@mikec2988 sals a complete douche. But trust me, way more people tune in for his phony phone calls than tune in to hear Richard Simmons placate and indulge fat people
also sal crouching behind the desk to hide lmao he is a caricature of himself truly spineless 🤣

It is so wild hearing Howard's voice without all the of the EQ work done. Obviously it's him but he does totally sound different.
He’s on the phone. Wtf you yappin about

In all seriousness... Sal and Richard are probably the best English-language prank callers in history. Sal is truly gifted.
The calls they make are legitimately some of the funniest things I have ever heard. It makes the Jerky Boys seem lame.
I hope they can release a lot of the stuff Howard never aired.
One of my favs is when sal says "just wait a second, I gotta turn the gas up on this grill".... Then you hear a giant explosion and Sal yelling for his life...who comes up w that?! Lmaoo

Why not this comedy in good taste being spot on you know how he is.

I always love when Sal gets himself in trouble...🤣
He could always make such a mess.
"I need a box of Kleenex" LMAO the story of Richard's life
Richard was so god damn dramatic. I was laughing my ass off when he said that
R.I.P. Richard Simmons 🙏🙏🙏
Howard sounds so much different on the phone.
Top Ten well he doesn't have to do an announcer voice off air. Richard Simmons and Gilbert gottfried sound like different human beings
Because he isn't doing that fake radio voice.
@@thatlsk It's more a radio mic compared to a 2006 phone mic. The radio mic costs thousands the mic in the phone costs maybe 50
He modulates his voice too
@@claydouglas2526 Its mostly this, his voice is so much deeper with that modulation.
Richard Simmons is more schtick than Benjy can even dream about.
His entire life has been an act. I'd love to see how he acts in the privacy of his own home.
He's a jerk in real life. Just look up the blooper footage from his show back in the 80's and you'll see just how much of a bitchy queen he is.
Probably like Milton Teagle.
Daddy’s girl’s been a bad girl!!!
Might have been schtick, but he put it to good use for himself and others, Mr. Bronk certainly can't say the same. Sadly seems like the guy has lost all joy for life. Supposedly just sits in his palace, alone, and his maids take care of him.
I'm not sure I'd want to see what he gets up to in private. I think I have an idea
one of my favorite prank calls of all time.
richard simmons is a national treasure
I thought I had listened to every second of Richard Simmons on the show, never heard this. Thank you. I hope that freak is okay wherever he is
Not a freak cause he does care about the obese.
5:54 Beginning of Sal's prank call on Jay Thomas show
i absolutely love how well jay handles this situation. great dj
Thanks bud
I miss Jay a lot
I didn't know Jay T as anything other than that guy on Cheers til he was a guest on HSS. Was surprises how funny he was.
@@jdjones3317 he had his own show on Sirius also he was great
You are a hero, sir
Richard Simmons ran out crying every time he was on Howard's show.
Thats because she is a little bitch.
Gaaaary?
gary?
Garrry!
Long time listener I didn’t even realize that was Howard on the phone at first. Howard sounds totally different on the phone
That's because he didn't have his special microphone, and all the processing units, and the compressor.
GARY? ....GARYYYYY!
Let me look into your eyes
Very funny, but dang, Richard Simmons is such a sweetheart. Sensitive as heck, in the best and worst ways.
Love how Gary tried to make himself the center of it
He learned that from his mom!
My name is Cheryl, and I'm your daughter.
I don't have a daughter who's a man!

“What’s right?!”
It’s funny how the guy hears the opposite for some reason...😂
RIP Richard...the guy made some classic radio with Howard in the early days. Rumballs
Ha ha this was the first time ever I heard that prank call from sal 😂

It's not a radio voice thing, I think they're still doing their radio voice in this. Just the difference between professional equipment and consumer equipment.
Howard uses special radio equipment to make his voice sound cooler. His real voice sucks.
All the mics in Howards studio have been Eq'd to their specific voices. Certain frequencies in the midrange band have been cut to clean up the sound for clarity sake. The same goes for singers and instruments on stage and in the studio.
Well yea Howard and Robin on the phone much different than in the studio. They tricked me hearing it.
You can hear Howard’s Adam’s apple pelican neck voice so much more when he doesn’t have the compression turned up to 11
Richard gets upset about jokes about obesity and then goes on to make jokes about Alzheimer’s a couple of minutes later.
Its not his specialty then doesn't give a damn if he can't make anything off it.
As soon as sal said "I don't want to make a joke about this" I lost my shiiiiit lol
Jay Thomas trying to do damage control is lol
“ oh Richard I’m so sorry. I had no idea”
He was craving sausages and milky sauce
Lol! Amazing.
Funny how Richard got upset about Sal making fun of fat people and then he makes a joke about Jays mom having Alzheimer's. Talk about someone being a hypocrite and a drama queen
Absolutely
Richard Simmons didn't get "upset". It's shtick, and he's one of the all time masters at it.
Richard is a useless, pointless freak. A total gutter queen.
@@seminiferousbuttnoidis it
I’ve never heard this. Thanks
Sal is a good actor. That's why I believe a lot of crazy drama with him on the show that people thought were real are just bits.
Nah you can tell when it’s fake sal is not a great actor by any stretch
they talk often about having writing meetings but never show them or have audio of them... wonder why that is
5:50 is when the prank call Starts
Too funny but it was “ok” for Richard to make fun of Alzheimer’s jeez
The millionaires could care less since they have the best healthcare.
@@mikec2988what does that have to do with his hypocrisy? 🤦🏿♂️
How many times has Sal almost been fired?
10,729. Exact. 🤣🤣
143
Imagine what he must have done at the brokerage he worked at.
@@jdjones3317did you ever hear the Marissa Tomei story?
Richard really knew how to make good radio
Howard sounds extra deep on the phone actually sounds pretty different
It's all fake. He puts effects on his studio mic and his phone. He does the same for Ralph's phone.
I Alderman del a bait, approve this message.
“I need a box of Kleenex!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Never had Sirius during this era. Really good listen, would have loved t his format.
I was subscribed during these years, it was great going on break at work and listening to the show.😁
@@evanabbott2737 2012/2013 was the last good years on 100 and 101 after that it went to garbage once they cancelled all the 101 shows
I wonder if when Howard calls Gary he has to dial a NOINE first.
I love this because it has Howard and Robin on the phone.
Like Christmas in July. Love u
Lol all these youngins who only know modern day mics thinking his voice being different on the phone back then means anything...
Sal is a pain in the ass, but not in this instance. He was just doing his job.
I honestly don't know if Richard Simmons is doing a bit or if he's got the thinnest skin on earth
He’s got thick skin or he wouldn’t be able to take all of those bearings from the male prostitutes that he hires.
It’s always a bit, the man is highly intelligent and that’s why he’s such a good businessman, and made tons of money. He’s perfectly capable of acting normal, but it’s always a bit.
God damn I miss Richard Simmons that silky smooth voice😂 was pure gold
Fun bit but Howard's Darth Vader voice on the phone is absolutely ridiculous
You ever see old videos of Jim Brown, how after he was tackled, he'd stay down, then slowly get back up, slowly walk back to the huddle? He was preserving energy. He figured out football was all short bursts, so he protected what made his money.
Howard talks for his money. He figured out that lowering his voice protected it...but loser, UA-cam dipshits think its just a put on to impress them...
😂😂😂
Thank u Richard you kind soul.
Is this before or after Howard made Richard run out of the studio crying? Either way this is hilarious thank you for the upload
I was wondering this too
Well you're going to have to be more specific, he ran out crying quite a bit, ha. If you are referring to the video that has been on youtube for a while then this clip is before that.
He ran out of the studio crying about five or six times
Anyone have a more specific air date? Also is this from the WUS?
The friday show
Howard sounded like Ralph on the phone here
All Hands meeting to circle the wagons and defend their boy. Love it.
Richard was AMAZING. I always assumed Howard and the crew would have figured out after 20 years, that he always ended "comedy" interviews dramatically...come on, he does the "Alzheimer's" bit after he's supposedly offended...for the show.

One of the greatest guests on any show, ever.👍
Richard is a wackjobs
@@natehbrotherroy17 Probably was part of growing up being picked on in school with the kids on his case.
I heard Simmons butt is still bruised
He still wants that Milky Sausage.
Richard was a Karen
Was the "big executive" Ross?
Sweet sassy molassey.
Wait is this the show live from Gary’s POV? This is fascinating
It’s from the short lived “Friday Show” Gary, John Hein ,and Ralph hosted and Sal ran the board. It wasn’t terrible
ack ack
Eric, the worthless...sack..of shit.👍😁
That Sirius show is terrible.
The Jerky Boys are the best prankers!!
But then he turns around and talks about Alzheimer’s. What a fuck job
Gotta love Richard Simmons going on and on about fat people then making a joke about somebody’s mother having dementia. Nobody chose to have dementia, virtually every obese person had a hand in making themselves obese. Tool
Yeah that's what I thought exactly...fat people have a choice to stop eating Alzheimer's patients can't remember how to eat, swallow, ECT. Get a life richie

Relax dude

I farted all over my balls
Richard gets angry about fat shaming, meanwhile he Alzheimers-shames the DJ's mother lol. Idiot
Bro who gives a fuck about Richard Simmons
garyeeeeeeeeeee where are you
I can't wait til Richard comes out of hiding and does the Stern show again, I would pay 10k for that
Why would you pay to have him leave the studio fake crying? lol
What happened to Richard?

Ohh I see, thanks guys!
Howard is such a hypocrite, when anyone pranked his show he lost his shit. Richard did a harmless prank and was almost fired.
Sal was so jealous of richard christy when they first got hired being the richard won win jobs job and sal basically was a pity hire
How old is this? It must be old af. Howard still had balls.
Any Ruchard Simmons content is great, but this was obviously fake, or at least, overblown...
RIP Richard Simmons
I understand why Howard is on the phone why the hell is Robin on the phone?
I want to give Sal a swirlie. 🚽
So How-Id ultimately betrayed his stalwart, legendary, "Friend-of-the-Show," Richard Simmons? Shocker.
Betrayed him? Jesus, some of you "fans" are so dramatic. It's a radio show dude.
🔥🔥🔥
you know hs hated jay for years .i think since hs replaced him on 92.3 fm in ny in the 80s that how long i was a hs fan. hs seems so phony now
Richard is such a whiny little bitch. I horse laugh whenever he starts crying
🌭🌭🥛🥛😂
They all are a bunch of circus freaks and the show sound like kindergarteners left home alone...
Awwwww😢
Oh no. You are on to them.
ugh, this is way too much Gary talking.
Who even is richard simmons and why was he so important to the stern show?
Not even considering addressing the first part. But Simmons was on the show constantly in the 80s. He was also a sponsor (“Deal-A-Meal”) decades ago.
I cant stand robin
Richard Simmons is a drama queen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fake news.
RIP Richard Simmons
