Aaron Imholte / Steel Toe Morning/Evening Show / "The Toe Boys" / r/steeltoeboringshow - Disgraced Minnesotan radio host turned racist Internet shock jock. Cuckold chef de Spaghetti-os, "2-2" boxing "coach". Has a legion of a-logs. Lost his wife to a coke addict he played "Strip Twister" with. Fined $50 for sharing nudes of Kayla Rekieta.

@Balldo's Gate I would suggest you also include info in the OP/thread about Aaron running an illegal* lottery/giveaway on his channel, which also breaks YouTube TOS rules. There’s info about it on Melton’s show and it’s probably discussed on SteelToeBoringShow too.

* = apparently it’s illegal according to Minnesota state law, but it might also be federally illegal? They’re just “giving away” gift cards to anyone who donates $1, $5, or $10. Apparently that’s counter to YT TOS guidelines about channel giveaways as well as breaking Minnesota/federal law about lotteries or giveaway contests. “No purchase necessary” type stuff.
 
Great thread. I don't know how I became aware of this podcast, but I briefly listened to it early 2023. And it was fucking awful. The few times I tuned in, Aaron was either shitting on the girl on the show for whatever reason, who I guess was his wife, or reading some news story about women doing dumbshit so he could spew some misogynistic rhetoric in order to get a rise out of her.

His other cohost Johnny was actually kinda funny from what I remember. His solo show wasn't bad for an amateur standup. Johnny has some health issues too. I don't know if he has MS or some other spinal problems but he needs crutches or a wheelchair to get around. After that fat faggot Mersh got under his skin in the posted clip, it was interesting seeing him having to get up and maneuver himself away from the table using just his arms.

The main thing I noticed for both Steel Toe and Johnny's show was the huge reliance on donations. That was the reason I stopped tuning in because half the show was purely ebegging. If Aaron wasn't making some shitty joke after riffing on a "culture wars" news story and whatever cohost pretending to laugh, it was reminding the audience to donate.

Nowadays, literally 75% of the show is begging for donos/superchats/memberships. It’s somehow even worse and levels of magnitude MORE grifty than most of DSP’s khantent
 
Really good thread. Last month I have been into following steel toe alogverse due to his associations with Balldoman. He's such a loser you just want to give him a noogie and throw him into a locker. He thinks he's a intelligent funny man but even podawful dabs on him. My favorite steel toe clips are when he is absolute cunt to his wife on air in front of his audience. I would feel sorry for her but she literally asked for all of this :story:
 
Even if there was an audience of manchildren stuck in the 80's and 90's craving the Morning Zoo style show, it just doesn't work with a longer format when you have no resources or production value. I'm sure nearly every shock jock is a piece of shit and miserable in their real life, but they don't try to fill 4 hours all by their lonesome or with their wife as cohost. The interruptions of music, weather, traffic, actual ability to get celebrity interviews gives structure and rapid fire pace to segments. It's no shock that his show has devolved into being mostly him filling time by seething.

At best, he makes for good hate watching when broken into bite sized clips, but are any actual fans wanting to tune into seeing some crippled cohost literally cry about Mersh calling him unfunny while Aaron just seethes about haters and his wife?

Morning Zoo shows also benefited a lot from simply making shit up for the "theater of the mind" of radio since there wasn't a camera filming it as it was happening. The one show that did have that element, Howard Stern's show, was Howard fucking Stern's show. He was in the heart of New York City and had interesting personalities and celebrities to bolster the show.

It's ironic that Aaron sounds so much like Cumia considering Steel Toe Morning Show is the exact type of show that would get the Jocktober treatment.
 
When Aaron was still with WHMH, the station would upload segments of the Steel Toe Morning Show directly to their website so fans could listen to parts of the show they couldn't catch live. The Wayback Machine managed to capture nearly three weeks worth of shows between 2015 and 2017, so I grabbed all that I could and uploaded them to Mega as one archive. I doubt there's anything particularly funny or interesting in this audio, but it should serve as a good example of his FM radio days compared to now.

-The audio is cut up into four segments, one for each hour of the show's air time. Most shows are incomplete due to the Wayback Machine not capturing everything thoroughly.
-I've organized the segments based on show date. Dates for each show are inferred based on when they were archived and may not be fully accurate.
 
How long before the dimensional merge combines the Sektur and Dabbleverse together? The intertwining of personalities between both worlds is getting increasingly more complicated, I almost want to make a thread chart of it like Charlie from Always Sunny.
Well, Nick Rekeita is slowly but surely morphing into Stuttering John...

Over-under on the Sektur-Dabbleverse Dimensional Merge happening by the end of 2024?
 
I'm willing to bet money this dude has never actually had to wear a pair of steel toes in his entire life.

Much like rekieta in never having an actual real job where you actually *work*.
Also I lol'd at him being 5 days younger than me and not being able to figure out how to navigate KF.
And his original wife was way cuter, judging by that tiny old picture anyway, than the white trash addict he has (had?) now.

I would argue Sir Balldo is more of an alcoholic, but less obese than SJ. He’s definitely barreling towards the same brand of irrelevancy that SJ has. Where his own content/channel is dwindling in views, but people who alog/cover him (e.g. @elb ) are far surpassing him in views.
 
Karl from WATP finally turns on Steel Toe
