tunaplanet 0 #1 January 17, 2004 Not sure if you all remember Bob Lassiter or not. He was an extremely controversial talk show radio host for many many years. Some people loved him, most hated him, lol. I happened to be one of the few who liked him. I found a link that had some of his clips. I found a monologue of him that is absolutely hillarious. It is a compilation of some great stuff, mostly him getting the audience all pissed off on his 'There is no God' talk. It is hysterical. Click here and then click on the "listen" icon after the first one that reads, "Bob Lassiter's "finely tuned blasphemy". A 10 minute monologue." It's actually 37 minutes long, but absolutely hysterical. I listen to it all the time. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagny 0 #2 January 17, 2004 Oh, the dangers of the religious monologue! Invites trouble when you screw with the faith of the masses. Just not sure why everyone feels its necessary to impart their beliefs on everyone else. Both sides..those who believe, those who don't believe. If we all spent less time trying to convert and enlighten and more time living good lives, making an example through our own actions...life might be less full of conflict. Some of his monologue made me laugh, some of it made me think hard, some just made me sad. The funny stuff....LOL, the part about what does God do? Collect stamps and bowls? And Hey, Gabriel, let me know when they're going to blow up planes, huh? Laughed, but felt bad I was doing it! I think the whole monologue really got interesting when the phone calls started. I've never heard of Bob Lassiter, but he seems to be very well read. I found it most interesting when he was asked about his religious faith, after stating he was not an atheist, just to say that it was none of the callers business. Curious, after having made the rest of his thoughts and beliefs public knowledge. Also enjoyed the audiblie sighing, LOL, that was great. And when he was exasperated by the first caller and exclaimed "oh, Jesus." Now, THAT was funny! Now, there is a man I would love to share a dinner with, some wine, and a good solid argument. Of course, I would only want to do it once, maybe twice. LOL, that kind of intellectual banter tires me out after a while. Hmmm, I think I'll go watch Old School again. Must balance philosophical and intellectual stimulation with Will Ferrell running naked down a city street...LOL, see ya!Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunaplanet 0 #3 January 17, 2004 Yeah, Bob Lassiter is great. His whole shows were geared towards getting the audience pissed. Those are the shows that bring in the ratings. He would do the religeon shows every once in a while. They were always great. I loved him when he was down here in the Tampa Bay area.
