Old Jewish Men demand Rogan pulled from AM radio after host 'didn't bring shit' to Bob Saget's shiva.
'any man who doesn't bring food to a shiva is a bum,' declares GOJMC (Greater OJM Community) chairman .
After the news resurfaced last week, Norman Schmidt, the lounge chairman of the GOJMC (Greater Old Jewish Men Community) says that he speaks for his own community when he says, ‘Rogan is a shanda and has no place on OUR radio programs.’
The uproar started last week when news was brought to Schmidt’s desk (which is located at his house (not far from the kitchen)) that Rogan didn’t bring anything to Bob Saget’s shiva, not even little sandwiches.
“This Rogan news interrupted my breakfast,” says a visibly hungry Schmidt. “Very troubling. This man is a millionaire? Children look up to this man? What kind of role model is he? What kind of man doesn’t bring food to a shiva?”
When the media broke the story about Joe Rogan, the famous podcaster who has been accused of many bad things, including urinating in public showers and being a bad comedian, various members of the GOJMC wrote letters to their local radio stations demanding that Rogan ‘not be on the their program.’
“It was obvious from the letters that these men have no idea who Joe Rogan is,” says Bill Aikman, the lead department programmer at CT AM in Connecticut.
“Not a clue.”
Aikman calls the majority of the GOJMC letters angry, ranting, and mostly illegible. The few legible complaints are reported to be either about the current ‘bad stupid programs’ and/or that the radio station is ‘too cheap’ to make shows ‘loud enough.’ There was reportedly a few complaints about the neighbors.
“I can’t stand ‘em,” says one GOJMC member, Frank Lipstein during a phone call. “Who again?" Lipstein added before trailing off about something else.
At press time exactly only one other AM radio station had responded to the GOJMC, but Schmidt expects this to change.
Later in the day, when one of our correspondents managed to tell an irate Schmidt that Rogan is ‘no longer on AM radio anywhere in the country,’ a victorious Schmidt responded by saying:
“Good. That bum has no right. Only a schmuck goes to a shiva empty-handed.”
