Show Notes
In this episode of pplpod, we dive into the strange and hilarious history of the Wack Pack, the assortment of unique personalities that became a key part of The Howard Stern Show. We explore the origins of the group—originally a parody of the Rat Pack—and Howard Stern’s golden rule: that Wack Packers are defined not by any specific peculiarity, but by their total inability to understand why they are funny.
Join us as we break down the "Official" roster voted on by Stern and his staff, featuring living legends like Beetlejuice (named the "Greatest Wack Packer of All Time"), High Pitch Erik, Tan Mom, and Wendy the Slow Adult. We also pay tribute to iconic deceased members, including Eric the Actor, Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf, and Riley Martin. Finally, we examine the controversial "Not Wack Pack Material" list to explain why frequent contributors like King of All Blacks and Mariann from Brooklyn were excluded for being too functional in society.
