Late word--unconfirmed--that Riley Martin has passed. I would assume alcohol-related. He will be remembered as the one who call Stern a Big Bird-looking Hook-Nosed Jew.

He was a drunk guy who called into Stern, and claimed that he had been abducted by aliens, several times. He went to their planet, and met different alien species. He said that the aliens gave him symbols which would protect him, in event of alien invasion. He doodled these symbols, and actually tried selling them to people. Howard gave him an hour show during the week, where he would be absolutely smashed, often hurling insults at Robin and Howard, for not paying him to do the show whose audience consisted of a few people, who would call and make fun of him. He loved referencing that Howard was the 'billion dollar Jew'.

That is quality radio. Audio gold.

Please give a heads up if you hear about that.

I'd listen. I loved Riley's show.

He was usually so drunk that he could barely speak and yet his Laurence Holmes-sounding producer always played it perfectly straight. I wonder where he'll end up.

They did it this morning. I only caught the end of it but they were playing a bunch of good clips.

He may have been up there with the weirdest/craziest guys I saw on Stern's old E! show. Especially when he flipped the switch and realized how much they were laughing at him.

I heard some of it on the replay yesterday evening, good stuff. I had no idea how far back Riley went. Though he apparently died two weeks ago and nobody said anything. And things of that nay-chuh.
