I grew up in Israel and I can't stop laughing listening to Howard XD

Robin: "So what did you get out of it?" Howard:"I became antisemitic!" -- LOL

He's right, Kosher laws and inspections were like the ancient version of the health department.

Anytime Gilbert was in, with Howard and Artie, it was always gold

ha ha this reminds me of a Muslim explaining to me why he didn't eat pork but he said the BIGGEST reason HE didn't eat pork was because it is not good for you very unhealthy telling me this while smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer .lol

i was always wondering about this too.....Howard explains it very simply.....i always loved Howard, he speaks his mind and is open but if he doesn't like it ....step back.

This clip is so full of Gold, it's no wonder this guy rose to dominate the entire radio industry.

That killed me when Rabbi Gottfried chimed-in.

I never knew Howard Stern was so incredibly funny ....I am choking with laughter...the way he tells it..... : )

holy shit howard is smart he never hesitated never faultered

@rusty1491 Really? So, there is actually a specific reference to boar as a sacrificial animal. Which historical document this information is based upon? Can you dig it up for me, please? Thank you

Howard is 100% correct.

Kosher laws were more about controlling markets. Pigs were relatively easy to raise and easy to breed. Even in America a lot of low income families can sustain themselves plus have a little income from pig farming. It was a way to control others

Nice adding of the Gilbert Godfrey singing clip.

Howard is the best. Awesome.

I forgot KOAB was even on the phone until he tried to get a word in near the end lmao

@Pokahantiss Can you elaborate?

lol exactly. a unicorn poked me in the eye when i was on that arc :)

@kermitcintronsucks I wonder what is the source of your info?

@OnThatPowder What does this have to do with anything that Howard said?

An interesting explanation. What Howard is saying also make sense - specifically pork gets spoiled quicker in hot weather than beef and lamb. Probably 4000 years ago both considerations were important.

That was just priceless!

howard stern, gotta love this guy

Strange how so many people think there is an omniscient creator of the universe with ham anxiety.

what is the deal with HSS & KZfaq? Alot of the shows/videos have disappeared? Are they only aloud to be posted for X-amounted time? Could you shine some light on the question? thanks in advance!

Howard shutting down Benjy instantly is the best!

"the bible was written by people. i hope people know that. it wasn't written by God." - howard lmao

lol noone is paying attention to that monday on the phone and he is still there LOL

SVEE!!!!!!!!!

@Severddans I am not an expert on the issue myself, but I read that Torah - Jewish Bible was translated from Hebrew or Arameic into Greek around 100 A.C. Later on the Greek version was translated into other vernacular languages and that's why there are many different translations and discrepancies in it. If someone knows facts better, you are welcome to correct me.

the shit part almost killed me laughing

Totally agree with you.

what does 'mitzvah' mean?... (-is there a logical reason why you dont eat pork?)

I don't belong to any kind of religions but this is the best food standard i've ever heard of so far proven by science and i firmly stand on this for six years now. If the whole world only knew this, humanity can reduce sickness and dependence on commercial medicines. How I imagine, if the world can be as healthy as day one.

what a smart person this Howard stern is . i have always appreciated him . brilliant honest and logical response

Nice pic of Howard 🌷

BRILLIANT !

@EvidenceFaith the name of the vid is "where religion got us"? i'll try to look it up again

greatest piece of howard

I m an ex-muslim, No mullah, rabbi, or priest has ever explained this to me as good as howard did. every word made absolute sense.

I agree

religion is society. You are religious. If you are an atheist, then atheism is your religion. People form society based on various common values and beliefs. Religion is part of that. Holy books reflect people's attempt to understand God and the universe. God is the creator of everything and is therefore not a 'god of the gaps'. All science does is discover the mechanism God used.

I'm 55 and learned this in Catholic grammar school. Thankfully we learned about every Christian religion, along with Islam and Judaism

Howard, thank you for understanding Judaism.

The clownery 😂

ok, so why was the logic behind not eating it before, but being allowed to now?

*they just wrote that god forbid pork, when in reality I doubt he cares what we eat*

6:06 they pitched that audio to get the bruh meme.

quote, where does it say eateth every animal?

If you look at the ingredients of most cat food pork is an ingridient, and I've seen many nature shows were lions and tigers are eating warthogs, and if I'm not mistaken they are part of the pig family.

Would your version of history be different?

i laughed SO FUCKING HARD LMAO AHYAA SHNAAAATZA

Too damn funny!

i love hearing other people who are intelligent about religion, and know its bullshit.

@rusty1491 Thank you for the reference. Honestly I never read Isaiah, because it was so boring. However, let me read it, understand the context in which this was said and I will get back to you. If Jews indeed ate pork than I'd be really interested in why they stopped doing it and made such big deal out its prohibition. Usually, there are practical reasons behind dietary prohibitions.

Pigs carry "the bladder worm" which remains as such in the pig but if piggy-porker is not cooked well enough, bladder worms transferred into humans, develop into tapeworm.

it sound to you like that cuz you dont understand the words.... same happen to me when i hear chinese/japanese/greek...

I LOVE BACON!!

Can people still get trichinosis?

Gilbert is gold!!!

I love Howard ,i am myself part jew but we can name us jews in any part of the world but not reconnized by jews in Israel if you are not judaic religion .I think we are all jews no matter what religion have or choose

2:51

Yes.

Lots of my school friends growing up were just "culturally" Jewish and not particularly religiously observant Jews if at all. Let's just say quite a lot of pork and ham passed their lips when in mixed company. Maybe they did different at home for the parents and I didn't necessarily know. Also, the sabbath day was NOT kept holy. People did whatever they needed to do for work to get done any day of the week.

Fair comment. I don't think it's as devious as Howard says, but I see how others see that.

Because it would be too close to cannibalism.

Jesus wasn't the first who preached Christian ideas. There was a sect in Israel 100 years before Christ was born, that followed the same ideology.

Howards' barmitzfa (sp?)????? I'd pay for that on google play!

1 The Big Bang. 2 Don't eat pork as in the video. 3 The ocean floor contains deep valleys and mountains (2 Samuel 22:16; Jonah 2:6). 4 Earth floats freely in space (Job 26:7).

I was brought up Catholic and stations of the Cross was actually one of the few things I liked.

umm. i never knew that!

His history is quite accurate.

"specifically pork gets spoiled quicker in hot weather" it's not just that they "spoil". certain meats contain and breed larger amounts of bad bacteria, than others. ultimately all meat is prone to bad bacteria because it's dead meat. once flesh dies, the only things that can break it down are destructive micro-organisms (dangerous bacertium & maggots etc.), that's why carinvores have such strong stomach acid and really short intestinal tracks.

KoaB has always been great on the show.

Two questions: 1. To my knowledge there were only two pigs in Noah's Ark and millions of other animals. Are you suggesting that two pigs were eating feces of all other animals? 2. Do you think that maybe God only means for Noah and his family not to eat pigs? Otherwise, firstly who'd clean the mess on the ship and secondly it's not clear why God waited until flood time to prohibit pork?

I don't think anybody really knows what went on that many years ago for sure. What Howard says though makes sense. So I think this is as close to the truth as we will ever know. :)

about the torrah thing i agree with Howard, when i was 13 and had my barmitztvah i had to memorize 4.5 pages. My grandpa would make me memorize it. He's really jewish and goes to synagague but not me nor my parents. When the day came i knew everything word for word. As the rabbi was pointing on each word i had to say it. The rabbi thought i knew what it meant but really i just memorized it word for word and his pointing on the word made no difference because i didn't understand the language.

Fair enough. :)

It must be true if it came from the great theologian howard stern right?

You think I'm religious or something? I was being sarcastic when I said that that description would be as detailed as any that science had to offer hehe

I like the health implications he brings up. Very interesting, I never thought of it like that. Circumcision might also similarly be a relic of when venereal diseases were rampant, and it offered some minute protection because you were supposed to fuck as much as possible, and people who follow the idea today don't realize it's been rendered pointless by medical science and condoms.

@ Pboisei....Nope, he was not a rabbi LOL. Read the new testement....He abolished the Old Law and brought in the new one. He openly declared that people could eat pork and all the other animals and food that God put here on the earth for us to eat.

Im catholic. within catholicism, there is also this idea about suffering. Not not wanna being there, or not wanna be christian. But you concentrate on christs suffering, and ur own.

At least four... You're funny man.... I had to do my own research and you'll have to do the same.... I'm not doing it for you. I don't mean to be nasty but when I wondered about certain things, I found myself having to look into things myself. One cool thing they have done is the Red Sea study and they have found a whole slew of Egyptian charriots and artifacts at the bottom. Don't think sunken ships deposited them there. No sunken ships to be found. Work still in progress. Rock Horab is another

you've got issues man!

Crack up!!

You're so right, I've geen through all that shit. It's so true. For some reason, non of them take a shower nor brush their teath, etc. Why should I follow some people who don't eve clean themselves.

He's wrong about the cloven hoof. He said they can't have cloven hooves, but its the opposite. Kosher land animals are supposed to have cloven hooves and chew their cud. Pigs have cloven hooves but they do not chew their cud. Cows have cloven hooves and chew their cud, that's why cows are kosher, but pigs are not.

08:10 no voyel lol

Read Marvin Harris's Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches for more answers.

@kiss904 hehe, you got me there. sometimes i can be defensive. Can we look at the ufc for example. In the beginning, you had pure karate guys, boxers, jujitsu, wrestling, etc. now what is the ufc? everyone learning everything. People are going to hate, but listen sir or madam. If people in religion learned and respected each other, how much better off we would be in this world ?

Gonna miss the hell out of him when be is gone! Dread the day! Brilliant mind!

???

If god didn't want us to eat pigs, he wouldn't have made them out of Bacon!

Oh boy, MidnightRayn. Now I have a full set characters here. You personify Nazi and Pooternackle Ku Klux Klan.

because pigs taste like humans and humans taste like pigs

plus, you out-interpreted it. it didn't say for anybody to eat whatever they want, it said NOAH and his kin, another suggestion towards it being short term, infact... that would solidate it.

The big bang theory is probably described in the bible in a passage that goes something like this: "from the very small came the large"...a description as detailed as any that science has to offer haha

The same thing is correct for Muslin Iranians who read Quran an don't understand it.

Wow another deeply inspiring comment. Must be my luck. Incidentally, there's a difference between intelligent thinking and perfect English. The first one has to do with the person, the second one has to do with being born in an English speaking country. Lucky for me though I learned how to say "dumb fuck." Because in your case this term seem to fit really well.
