Week of 7/27: Live!

[Kryptonite]

Here's what we had today:

A JD update, Richard and Sal had a phony phone call to wish happy birthdays to a lot of people with COVID names and Nick, a kid who had COVID called in. Howard also talked about Regis Philbin and how media kept calling him to comment since they lived in the same building.


If Howard gave a comment to the media, he would have been a hypocrite, considering he blasted staff members for announcing things outside the radio show.

I was out in the bush and missed the regis news. Grew up with that morning show. Joy was always a great sub.

Are they still working from home or back in the studio?

Are they still working from home or back in the studio?

They're still in the bunker. It sounds like they're in the studio though. Howard has a new setup with a mic with a nice long arm on that he can move around as needed. He has a whole setup behind him that seems like a studio. They've come a long way from that first week.

Here's a bit on the Regis Philbin deal.

“A world with Regis just seemed better,” he says of the longtime morning show and “Millionaire” host

I loved Gary's telling of his conversation with Howard about his mother calling Howard's mother. Cracked me up.

I loved Gary's telling of his conversation with Howard about his mother calling Howard's mother. Cracked me up.

I feel like we heard that recently either via a live show or repeats...it was when a caller mentioned "Good morning Howard, Robin, Fred and Mama Monkey." It was the only time someone said "Mama Monkey." Howard never said it and Gary's mom was upset that someone said it.

On today's WUS, Booey mentioned MfB isn't wack pack. Huh? Then again, she has her mental competencies. She could probably keep a job. She doesn't have any physical issues.

I gotta go back and listen again to those porn award clips...today was also "Cleaning Out The Computer" day. Get ready for a week off next week.

Super Bon Bon for the new show opening theme? It looks like that's not going to happen, despite it being discussed.

Gary the R works. I haven't actually seen him, but one of these days I'll catch him throwing the trash away.

They're off next week. Gary is under the knife and Rahsaan and Jon will be profiling musical guests on the WUS.

Caught the Big Foot bit. Guess Big Foot gets some benefit from the attention but as the bit goes on I am feeling uncomfortable with this group of very privileged people laughing at this guy who is mentally disabled. Guess you could say the same thing about the most of the Wack Pack. Howard cannot stop himself from bringing up Big Foot living off disability or whatever he gets. You would think it was coming out of Howard's pocket.... Howard is so money conscious even with more money than he can possibly spend in his lifetime. Seems to do the same thing with Sour Shoes ... almost resenting the fact that Sour Shoes lives off his parents.. He and Robin had a good laugh over Sour Shoes fast food restaurant income...

The sour bit was great. Was the Rogen interview worth spenind 100 minutes on?
