Thanks to fellow Superfan Eric, we have the very FIRST MISERABLE MEN SHOW, featuring Shuli, the Rev. Bob Levy, Jim Florentine and the very first in-studio guest, George Flowers from the Howard 100 News team, as well as the rest of the 2006 shows below! The first hour of misery, right here on the Miserable Replay, from Valentine’s Day, 2006! Enjoy, and from all of us miserable bastids, THANK YOU, ERIC!

It’s Shuli, Rev. Bob and Jim Florentine on this, the second MM show ever, promising “no Ralph phone calls” on the show (of course, we know that won’t last). Joining the crew is Bob’s lawyer (at this point, Bob is just done with marriage #2) and bass player Rudy Sarzo. There are some technical difficulties, but no comedy difficulties!
3-21-2006
Bob belts out “We’re Not Gonna Take Them” (Ralph’s calls) as the brand new Miserable Men show hit the ground running with him, Shuli and Jim Florentine in their tiny, smelly studio as they remind you, there is no way to win with women! The guys discuss what makes them miserable men. Mike Morse checks in with his early parody song, “I Hate Marriage” (sung to the tune of “Love and Marriage,” the theme song from Married With Children).

Shuli, Bob and Jim are back to bring on the misery. To the women in the audience, is your man cheating on you? What did Jim win in a raffle at a bachelor party? Author (?) David Cohasset joins the gang for an incredible interview that generates a ton of calls. Yucko calls in, and he’s still happy (pre-Yoko). Enjoy this funny show!
5-9-2006
Shuli, Bob and Jim welcome porn actor Tommy Gunn to the show. Lots of great calls on this show too, which also features an early attempt by Bob to read a show promo. I’m guessing you know how that went. Jim gives us the famous “You’re DEAD” drop in this show. “Mark in Jersey” (yes, THAT Mark) calls in and tells us all about women and how you can do filthy, dirty things with your exes, so long as you stay on good terms with them.
5-22-2006
After a two-week break, Shuli, Bob and Jim are back to talk about why they are all miserable, and to ask the question: what is the gayest thing you’ve done to get laid? Also, what do he/she do to push your buttons? Finally, what is your most embarrassing sexual moment? All this and more on this one hour wild ride of misery!
6-5-2006
Rude Jude from Shade 45 welcomes Shuli, Bob and Jim back for another hour of madness after a two-week break. Has your significant other ever gotten you into a fist fight in a public place? (It’s funny hearing them refer to the Stern Fan Network) Also, internet dating horror stories. The calls are great!
6-19-2006
Two more weeks have elapsed, but the Miserable Men are harder to get rid of than COVID-19. Florentine has christened the room, and Shuli is single after an 11-year relationship! Can you be friends with a woman after you’ve broken up? Have you ever had a Father’s Day become a Father’s Day nightmare? Several more topics as well on this whirlwind tour of misery with Shuli, Bob and Jim.
7-3-2006
Sticking to the two-week plan, your hosts Shuli, Bob and Jim are back and have a bunch of miserable stories for you. Have you been to a real cool BBQ and had to leave early because of the wife/gf? How about having to go to a HORRIBLE BBQ because of her? Bob reads the plugs in his own special way. Major highlights for this show include special guest Joey Boots (RIP) and another call-in from Mark from Jersey City.
7-10-2006
Ok, it’s only been a week since the last show. I guess they couldn’t come up with a Superfan Roundtable or some other horrible shit. Welcome to the Miserable Replay, the show that’s like The View with cocks. Psycho breakups from hell is the main topic, and there’s an explosion of great calls! Comedian Chris McDevitt and his girl Jessica check in as the special guests.
7-17-2006
Shuli, Bob and Jim welcome Jason Keefer, whoever the hell he was. RIP Dr. Nicholas Bartha, who blew up his huge house while he was in it instead of losing it to his wife in a divorce. This pleased Sal The Stockbroker to no end. Jim tells it like it is: when you get together with a girl, separate bank accounts are the way to go! A guy gets married to a girl with money, but she never put the paperwork through so when it ended, he got NOTHING. What’s the grossest thing your partner does in front of you? Howard Stern himself calls in to the show with a Pam Anderson exclusive and more!
7-31-2006
Shuli goes over his “date” with Joey Boots at Coney Island, and it’s becoming clear to some that maybe he’s not heterosexual. Mark From Jersey City calls in. No Jim tonight, just “Shuli Jim.” Tonight’s special guest: Sal the Stockbroker. Bachelor party stories and more fill out this funny show!
8-14-2006
Another two weeks have gone by. How did we ever survive back then? Anyway, shenanigans are afoot, and we’re starting out the show with just Shuli and Jim tonight. Or are we? What’s the gayest thing you ever did to get a chick back? Special guest is Debbie Schlussel (rawr!)
8-21-2006
It’s a Miserable Monday as Jim Florentine makes it in just after the bell to join Shuli and Rev. Bob. Immediately, it’s time to make fun of Bob’s inability to say certain words, like “valcano” and “retardeder,” leading in to the debut of “Bob’s News” later in the show (originally called “Miserable Men News”). What different ways have you been screwed out of money? Elegant Elliot Offen calls in with his MM audition schtick, “right”? Thankfully, his tenure as an official MM is extremely short. We also here from another loser, Melrose Larry Green.
8-28-2006
Bob’s sporting a fresh summer tan as he joins Shuli and Jim for a night of best or worst one night stand stories. Shuli has a particularly disgusting one (go figure). Rude Jude from Shade 45 comes in for the second half of the show. And, unfortunately, we have an Elegant Elliot Offen segment at the end of the show.
9-12-2006
Shuli and Bob are back after another two-week break, this time on a Tuesday, but the show starts out with Jim nowhere to be found. Is there such a thing as an open door relationship policy, or does that just mean you’re not a couple? Bob’s News is featured. The calls drive this show (right off the miserable cliff).
9-18-2006
Shuli is out sick tonight, but Geno Bisconti is in the house with Jim and Bob to delivery the Monday Misery! Shuli calls in to take his punishment like a miserable man. Have you ever been caught having sex or masturbating? Have you ever pulled a train? This show goes off the rails pretty quickly (great calls).
10-2-2006
Tonight’s lineup is Shuli, Bob and Gino Bisconti, filling in for the touring Jim Florentine. Gino’s so smart, he blew off a $300 gig to do a freebie on Sirius! Loftus Carlson, author of a book on how to dump your wife, is interviewed. Did your wife / significant other make you dump your porn stash? Bob’s News and good calls round out this show.
10-9-2006
Shuli, Bob and Gino, with his large man purse, are back for more shenanigans. Did Gino pass up some show trim? Have you ever been hit by a girl? Have you ever been out in public and gotten your ass kicked BECAUSE of a girl? The calls are SAVAGE! Bob’s News continues to shine.
10-16-2006
Jim Florentine is back and joins Shuli and Rev. Bob for just short of 48 minutes of absolute misery! For the record, Jim has been working hard on a Comedy Central show, “Meet The Creeps,” as he works hard to have a career. Bob and Shuli did a firehouse show (hey, don’t knock it until you’ve been at one!). Is your friend married or seeing someone who’s a real prick (or the c-word)? Some good calls tonight including Elisabeth, who isn’t English but has an English accent (what’s that all about?). Bob reads a live “commercial” from the first “sponsor” to the show, who just “happens” to sell “rotisserary” chickens! Great show!
10-23-2006
Shuli, Bob and Jim are all in-house for Miserable Monday (yes, these are the olden times, before SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!) Bob is still living in his ex-wife’s basement. Jim is still working, successfully, on a real comedy career, and Shuli’s best days are ahead of him, as he hasn’t even met his dime piece wife yet (she’s amazing, guys). Internet dating horror stories and stinky private parts stories tonight. In one of the most horrific dating horror stories, Paul McCartney got taken to the cleaners by Heather Mills for what ended up being $48.7 million in exchange for her four years of marriage. Talk about misery!

This is the last 2006 show we have archived, with Shuli, Bob and Gino Bisconti. If you have any other ones and you’re willing to share with everyone, just hit me up off the Contact page. Bob is fresh off a successful Stern Show roast (remember the good old days when Bob was welcome on the show?). More stinky private parts calls and interviews with the Stern show crew. How much of a nuisance have your in-laws been? Bob’s News and emails round out this show.
