Hi-Ho, Don-O!
Glad you got around to another show filled with a crapload of classic George Carlin bits! But sorry to hear about Peter Schickele. PDQ Bach is one of those oddball acts that rarely gets any rotation on radio. I figure they had a cult following consisting of classical music fans and college residents and some fans of the same oddball music Dr. Demento was known to play. Would've loved a chance to see them perform live. Now that's just one item to strike out of my bucket list.

Carlin spoke about this on the Late Show with David Letterman (broadcast from the Ed Sullivan Theater where he used to play the character).
He explained that many viewers probably didn't perceive the premise; i.e. that Al Sleet was high on pot.
George said: I'm sure Ed didn't realize it!

It can get confusing if someone is referring to William Shatner.
  8:43pm
Dean:

But I also on occasion use "micturated."

It's William Shatner, not William the Shatner.

William himself was a pioneer in broadcast free speech. In 1967, he became the first on television to say "hell" as slang, instead of in the acceptable Biblical sense.
It was in the famous last line of "The City on the Edge of Forever".

I've always thought it strange that "God" was the syllable that broadcasters censored in that word.

Yeah, in 3rd grade, during my first school year in L.A., was the first time I was told not to say "hell." In New York, no one batted an eye when I said it.

No, the FCC can be a force for good. The radio/TV stuff hearkens back to the age of finite technical resources for broadcasting. Some creepy parent complained about Carlin, because his kid was in the room when it was aired on WBAI. (Like me up there about my made-up kid.) Fuck guys like that.

I don't understand what the rules are these days. It seems that even basic cable allows "fuck" now.

I was just recently mulling over the origin of the term "humdinger" and how it transcended from it's original meaning into a reference for a certain sexual act.

Thanks, Don-O!

The latest on that, if I recall correctly what Station Mgr Ken has said on the subject, is you can call someone an asshole but you can't refer to the actual location on the body using that word.
