Damn usually the Autumn stuff starts after the back to school supplies are out of the way

Christmas in July is an actual thing now. Hallmark movies, Christmas beer, etc.

We'll start seeing Valentine's Day stuff almost as soon as the Christmas stuff is off the shelves.

I'm not surprised the Halloween stuff is still out when it's 90F north of the Mason-Dixon line.

What annoys me the most about Christmas in July is that it's a whole month late!
The halfway point is June. It should be Christmas in June dammit!

Exactly!

From now on, we will refer to it as Benjy...it's always late. (And I recently re-heard the segment where Benjy was jumping over the security turnstile because he forgot his badge.)

Someone posted: "I love analytics myself"
Someone else replied: "You love anal?"

I read that second bit in a Lil Lupe voice.

Listening to 8/1/2002. TIL Benjy was a national hoola hoop champion....?

They are talking about Benjy and Anna Nicole Smith making out the previous day:

BENJY: I was like, know what, why don't I make it like a wild party. We'll all get naked. I'll get some music on.
HOWARD: And get the thing going.
BENJY: I'll order some hoola hoops.
ROBIN: Hula hoops??
HOWARD: Yeah he's hoola hooping with her because it's the only thing he's good at. He was a national hula hoop champion.
ROBIN: I forgot about that.

Someone just posted this. I would have given them 516-922-9463.

I just received this unsolicited phone call with the title “Health Care” as the caller:
Voice on phone with Indian accent: You are a Medicare recipient.
Me: What is this phone call about?
Voice: You have pains in your back and knees.
Me: No.
Voice: We can help you with the pain in your back and knees.
Me: Is this a scam? I don’t have pain in my back or knees.
Voice hangs up phone.

The Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher just pitched to the Cleveland guy's ass.

Hopefully Howard and Beth heard the "Hit 'em on the heiney" mention.

And speaking of 516-922-9463, Howard should never again give KOAB any amount of crap about a bad phone connection. Dear gawd... Jackie sounds like he's on a walkie-talkie coming from the moon.

Listening to 8/1/2002. I'm reminded how mean the show can be. They're interviewing M Knight Shyamalan and it's a relentless busting of his balls about Hinduism, being Indian, Ganesha, turbans, forehead dots. M it handling is well but they are really laying into him with insults and offensive comments. Brutal.

Must've been before Howard's enlightened period.

"YOUR MOTHER IS DIRTY YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"

On the he 7/25 Summer School episode, we had a guest appearance by Robin Quivers. She mentioned it was a "win" when guests would walk out. One time, Gary was leaning against the door in order to prevent the publicist from walking in.
