Monstrosity with David Race Ep 44 - Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling (formerly of The Howard Stern Show)

So many years ago, I was Dave the intern on The Howard Stern Show.

That, by the way, is not to be confused with a much less interesting intern who went by the name of Dead Dave.

And on with me in this episode, we've got a coworker of mine from those days, formerly of The Howard Stern Show, Jackie the Joke Man Martling.

All right, Jackie, many years since I've talked with you.

I...

I will be honest with you, that's the first time I've heard the expression or the name Dead Dave in 50 years.

Yeah, well, Dead Dave was a different guy, and people think I'm him.

No, but that's going way, way back now.

The interns came and went so fast that at one point I took a Polaroid camera and took pictures of all the interns and wrote their names on them and pasted them up on the board at the office.

But two or three months later, they were all gone and

there was a whole new crop.

But that was either before me that they were coming and going fast or after me when they started being like in multitudes of interns.

Because my period, like when I was there like a year, like a full, I was there a full actual calendar year.

And that didn't seem so fast, at least to me, with the torture I was going through there.

We'll get into that in a minute.

But when

you got when you emailed me, your name sounded familiar.

But how how long ago were you like early 90s, late 80s, late 90s?

Basically, basically the whole year of 87.

Oh,

so that's Jesus Christmas.

You know, I was still in kindergarten.

Yeah, I mean, this was – I consider – there's a period of the Stern Show that I consider the peak period of the show.

I think it's the most – it's the point in the show where the show is at its actual best.

Just like the rock bands, some would argue the Beatles were at their best during these five albums or whatever.
