On The Airwaves, Anything Goes

This is a story on shock jocks featuring Grease and Howard Stern from D.C.'s Channel 7 news, aired in April 1985.

The most most most awesome thing about the Greaseman was that he poked fun at himself more than anything else. He had humility, so that made you think he's good at heart. The other shocks rarely if ever did that.

[@rollotomasi8116]

Craziest crazy man ever, his talent was original and hilarious, he had his own language and if you were a fan you understood what he was talking about, he skated on thin ice and we all knew it......love the Grease.....!

[@mygoldfishesbuttsmellslike8074]

Grease was the best ever!!

[@sylviaciampa7804]

He was the best and saved many a boring commute on 95!

Damn right! The Grease for VP 2024!👍🏻

The Greaseman brought a lot of cheer to the cold dark winter mornings growing up in DC; I even called him up from my high school pay phone and he was nice and funny... His imagination and creativity put him in a class above the Howard Stern shock jock types!

Someone said it best in this segment if you don't like it change the station we miss you Greaseman!

[@Wingman-yl3qq]

The original Shock Jock! Best there ever was.

[@jimmyb1356]

Been listening since I was in middle school. I miss his shows

[@SlickArmor]

Actually the first shock jock was Gary Dee from Cleveland Ohio.

LONG LIVE THE GREASE!!

Legend …. Period!!!

The Grease Manelli !!!!

[@wylieecoyote]

If the FCC need to file an obscenity case, it should be against this reporter. He used the terms he accuses Greaseman of using. It is such a double standard. His ilk and the perpetually offended won. A JOKE got enough idiots to complain and get Greaseman fired. He is brilliant in delivering his bits and makes the commute and day a little easier and brings people a little happiness. The most important thing to remember, if you don't like it, change the channel. Why do people want everyone to be as miserable as they are?

When I was doing menial blue-collar work in the 90's Greaseman was a better companion than Stern.

[@mikefromuniontown3809]

from mills to z's the STROKES they all would have now if Grease just did one segment and back then it was stuff people drove miles out of the way to hear!

Shriekin' and reekin' with the big lumberin' boss Jock. Grease is the best ever.

[@joekurtz8303]

His show finally syndicated to the west coast years ago,and the funniest 💩 on the air. Made PM rush hours more enjoyable, if you're offended, at least you're a listener,&, other 📻frequencies are available. Thrust your hands in the air & say:. My Ears have been touched by God !!

[@hellobeautiful5225]

From 1984

[@rwehuman]

Bring Grease back!

[@scottwright388]

He has a KZbin channel with some comedy on it. It's "Doodaddaddy" if you're interested.

[@SlickArmor]

@@scottwright388 damn didn't know this I'll have to check him out. Edit. Are you sure about that channel nothing is coming up with that name?

[@scottwright388]

@@SlickArmor he doesn't post much, put he's still the greaseman we remember.

[@SlickArmor]

@@scottwright388 I get what you're saying but there doesn't appear that there is a channel called "Doodadaddy".

[@scottwright388]

[@paulprice6330]

He looks like Hercules, Kevin Sorbo

[@dirkmcgurkin1272]

You mean Sorbo looks like Grease 😄

[@NeoNero83]

Back when the government aimed to protect free speech. Don't like it, change the channel. That's the beauty of a free and open market.

[@JohnW1711stock]

Family Guy says, F the FCC!!

[@bill8985]

I would pay anyone a thousand dollars if they could find the full audio of his bit about some guy that gets his worm eaten by crows... must have been in the late 1980s

[@googoo-gjoob]

3:00 " both on the radio and in the media" ..... dingbat

[@jamessnider6810]

Lighten up geez

[@websuspect]

How many times has stern been fined for droping the F BOMB on FCC? I thought the fines were between 2 and 8 million dollars?

[@SalahP.Secondz]

Woke fun police even back then trying to ruin the fun
