So I wonder what did prompt him to show up....? You've got to admit it is highly unusual?
As for the Beth's booking, I think Howard honestly thought she was a good guest... She had certain things that turn him on.. she said she got a high SAT score (800?? ) and had journalism creds, she willingly addressed the initimate man-woman relations including what to do if man smells in the anal area... a real Howard obsession.... and she had that 5 year relationship with Jason Seahorn (sp) without intercourse...
I don't think anyone made him do it (SiriXM can't make Howard do anything; given the colossal mismanagement of the company, he's more powerful than Mel at this point), I just think he was curious about the fans' reaction to the Bubba stuff and wanted to gauge it in a way that was less damaging to his own show. He rarely takes real calls on his show, as its bad for business, but doing it in a much smaller venue like WUS is less so. That's what's so great about WUS - its so much more honest. Booey may be a company man, but he's not afraid to talk to people.
No need to try and suck me into your deranged obsession with psychoanalyzing every facet of Howard's life there, Sal (Male anal smells? WTF!
). You can stay in your incredibly creepy world by yourself, thanks. Just because I agreed with one of your kind, don't mean I'm joining your club.
Sure, after three years of rushing Robin through the news so he could get home, he thought he might just show up on the Wrap Up Show, on a Thursday Wrap Up Show no less, just to shoot the shit...or in this case quite literally...the messenger.
Yea after 3 yrs and telling the people that complain to cancel 2 days in a row and the stock price is at 12 cents?
I just don't think he was forced to go on the Wrap-Up show. Maybe he took a cue from someone to go on there, but he was certainly not FORCED to do it.
That's what I thought to. Reactionary and another opportunity to say what he had said before.
I also think the WUS has been getting better and better, and will usually listen to all of it if work allows.
IMO, he really isn't trying to rush out every day and if he is, he does a shitty job of it. It's kinda like the Sal/Richard gay antics complaints. Those guys have practically been in seclusion for the last few months.
Makes me think of one of the great lines from the HOHS Act II:
"Hey, Robin. What would R. Bud Dwyer do in a situation like this?"
One day this week didn't he take up half the news, well into the WUS time, with him and Artie doing Tracy vs. Grillo, even stopping in the middle and saying "I have to hear it", then playing the whole original bit, and then back to him and Artie riffing again? Yep, he's rushing through the news.
You only hear what you want to hear.
No need to try and suck me into your deranged obsession with psychoanalyzing every facet of Howard's life there, Sal (Male anal smells? WTF!
LOL.. always joking...wish I had your gentle sense of humor!! And may I remind you of Howard asking Jessica Hahn the exact same question.. She apparently has Baby Wipes on hand at all times.
That's the story of all the "conspiracy theories" on the various HS message boards. A ton of amateur psychologists and armchair-CEOs over-analyzing and second guessing even the smallest comment on the show.
"Did you hear how Howard breathed in when he made that comment to Artie? He obviously only said that because of his therapy and marriage to Beth, and Mel must have come down on him since his vacation schedule and enabling of Artie have killed the stock price, and he's feeling secret guilt for all the phony HTV calls and rushing out of the show at 10:55 every day, and..."
It's kind of a testament to how good the show is.
Not to mention a testament to how frigging creepy some of the fans are. :wtf2:
It was perfect fodder for message board discussion. Why now? That's all.
Maybe the discussion is a testament to how good the show is, maybe not.
I don't want to jinx anything. The way the show was this past week, I don't want anything to be done differently. Whatever their morning rituals were from last week before coming into the studio, I want them to repeat each one. Hell, I even want Artie to miss Monday and Tuesday's shows and show up on Wednesday and for Beth to book another one of her friends onto the show. Maybe even Howard could show up for another impromptu Wrap Up Show.
The fans listen to an amateur psychologist and armchair CEO for four hours a day, it shouldn't be a surprise that some of the fans that listen would also try to figure out what makes Howard's mind tick.
Aren't you calling the kettle black? I mean, you're a member of and regular contributor to a forum about the show. Further, you seem to be compelled to rebut even the slightest criticism of the show. Clearly, you are heavily invested in it emotionally or you wouldn't be here, nor would the complaints bother you so.
Its strange that anonymous posters talking about a radio show on the internet gets you so upset. You come across as really angry guy. Maybe its time to take a break for a while? Get offline and go outside?
