Our Least Viewed Episode Ever.

[Music] are you okay yeah i'm fine we should probably tell everyone we're wearing these masks not because of coronavirus but because we've been cleaning the studio yes which is why i'm wearing a filthy old stained shirt with [ __ ] up hair is that why you look so disgusting today yes more so than usual um yeah so we've been doing a deep clean on the studio and uh organizing things throwing stuff out and i i walked upstairs and you and jay were talking about something and i walked in the room and you said wait wait wait no let's film this well yeah so i have no idea what's going on rich doesn't but i figured i would film this with you instead of jay because you and i have history with this subject matter oh oh this is our first and last video about jerry springer oh jerry springer during my cleaning i uncovered something my jerry springer book called a ring master uh his his disgusting cash in book jerry springer disgusting cashion which mostly contains pictures and large print text um and the sickening thing is i got this autographed where did you get that autographed i i figured that was something somebody sent us you actually bought that and had it autographed i went to best buy in the chicagoland area exciting at best buy he had a book signing at best buy he had to buy his book ring master and then he signed your book and you left i didn't even talk to him i didn't you know is there your typical book signing thank god there wasn't a reading beforehand as as as happens a lot at book signings you know the author goes up to a podium and reads a passage uh no no no no no that that wasn't going to happen with ringmaster for the zoomers out there like i'm assuming there's a lot of kids don't even know what the [ __ ] jerry springer is well that's the thing is rich you and i rich and i would film like home movies after after school yeah like we'd make little short comedy videos in my parents basement and every day we would come home from school we'd get we'd pick up lunch and we'd watch jerry springer but we watched jerry springer during the heyday when he he started off in the early 90s and then a couple years later things went out of control for a while he had he had a legitimate talk show i mean you know sleazy but it was a talk show right and then it just evolved into just bringing on trash and the trash would yell and scream at each other and fight and then he'd just stand there like his his goal was to get people to fight yes of course i i remember one episode very specifically where on the left side of the stage was a black family and on the right side of the stage were ku klux klan members and that was and i think the dialogue lasted about five seconds before everybody started punching each other here they are again the national imperial wizard of the kkk jeff is his name his wife edna their daughter tanya and her boyfriend jp [Music] [Applause] he had the one talk show on tv where you knew the name of the security guard right so jerry springer i don't know where he is now he ironically he started his life with with a horrible embarrassing controversy uh this behavior this particular incident certainly sets a bad example for anybody else to follow and one which i am obviously not very proud of he was the mayor of cincinnati i think what ended his career was that he had sex with a prostitute and he got caught because he paid her with a check uh and then i think later in his career he did a show called like dirty baggage or baggage and it was like it was almost like a dating game show where there was like a contestant and like three it's like a guy and three women or vice versa and they'll have like a briefcase and they would open the briefcase up or or a card or something it would be like i used my vibrator four times a day uh something embarrassing about themselves i once you know and so then it would be like are they lying about that or you know so it was a to tell the truth kind of show kind of i think i never watched it i didn't i've seen it here and there and i don't think it was very i had no idea this even existed it continued on his legacy of sleaze i slept with my girlfriend's twin sister he's not gay because you could you could tell that at some point he just stopped caring oh yeah especially entirely on the jerry springer show yes and then there were there were controversies rumors theories that eventually some of the trash that ended up on the show were actors sometimes you could really tell when people were acting sometimes you could really tell when they're real wasn't there a whole scandal when it was revealed that a group that was on were all paid actors i think i kind of remember that probably but then then there are some people that look very rough physically and you can tell and by the way they speak and they can't give them very much i i don't know what somebody's motive would be to go on that show just to degrade themselves that way um hey maybe maybe they get more than a an applebee's gift card maybe they get like you know a couple hundred bucks you go on the show you humiliate yourself on tv and someone's gonna try and punch you in the face and you're gonna look like an [ __ ] so yeah that's just a little recap on jerry springer um [Laughter] in the back of this wonderful piece of literature lists all his episodes oh no chapter 15 jerry

Between this, Vader’s Suit, and 101 Wacky Kids Jokes, the ‘Mike reads to Rich’ subgenre of RLM videos is quickly becoming my favourite...

[u/Tarlcabot18]

The part where Mike reads the show titles is a stealth sequel to 101 Wacky Kid Jokes.

[u/bjkman]

Holy fuck Mike breaks so fucking hard at the 12-minute mark.

[u/ehhwhatevr]

this is such a good video. i live for any ounce of RLM lore. this was a full entree.

[u/HurgleMyDurgle]

I love how the phrase "child alcoholics" makes mike laugh more than that book of jokes for kids a few years back lol

[u/HydroSloth]

This was genuinely delightful.

Unrelated Jerry Springer story: Years ago I was in a hotel room in Poland and switched on the TV to an episode of Jerry Springer, but it was dubbed in Polish! It was a remarkable experience. The show was just some Polish dude frantically yelling while people were fighting eachother. I was enthralled to say the least.

I don't know what situation might call for audio of Mike saying "Guess what- I'm bisexual!" "I'm fat and I'm proud" or "I'm proud to be a prostitute" but I'm pretty certain fan editors are gonna get a lot of mileage out of this episode.
