Was it Robert Duvall that throws in shots about his daughters when he gets questions like that? I'm pretty sure Chris Rock plays a similar card.

Does anyone else get annoyed when Howard asks guests how much money they make? This is a go-to question in literally every interview. This coming from a guy who adamantly refuses to discuss his own finances, ever?

Why doesn't a guest ever throw the question right back at him?

Because it is his show and they are trying to promote something usually?

He asks things you could never ask him about Beth too, it is his show, his job. I mean, come on, it is what he does. You can ask him questions on his show all you want, he doesn't need to answer them. You don't have to answer them either if you are a guest.

She isn't bright enough to know that though. She needs to be told things like how she should eat and what she should eat and how to do it. She knows that she isn't that smart at all and just parrots what other people tell her. It mirrors exactly how she is on the show when she interacts with Howard.

"I was just about to say that" "I was just talking to someone about that" she's dumb and knows it and tries to unashamedly make up for it.

I don't think that Robin is a bad person, it's just that she's very narcissistic and out of touch. She's at least as much of a trainwreck as Howard is if not moreso. And I think moreso.

Everyone on and involved with the show is like that though. Everything they get involved in they basically have to have someone else tell them what to do and hold their hand. Perfect example is Howard and his "technology". Five minutes loving around with it and a Google search should be able to answer just about any question you could possibly have. Instead he has to hire "experts" to tell him what to do and what to buy.

Look at Ralph and that Geektime show, the people he takes advice and news from is awful. They are basically talking heads from various magazines or shows.

They are all just so closeminded about anything until something they deem worthy of respect tell them the same thing everyone else had been for months. See Howard with Twitter or moving to the iPhone/Apple, etc.

well to be fair, I could see why Howard would need help from Jeff Schick on switching over to apple computer products as I would like help and advice as far as that goes if I were doing the same thing.

However, Robin did the same but mentioned that she bought a desktop, a big laptop and TWO small laptops, TWO. The gently caress. It's nice to have money to afford nice things but she is just a loving retard, once again parroting not only what Howard says, but what he does.

I still say she is the biggest offender in the way of ignorance as far as the show is concerned.

I mean is there any need for not just an extra laptop but TWO extra laptops?

If Howard couldn't ignore emails, the show would be him and a few two headed twin clones of Billy and Artie.

She said she wanted one small laptop to "carry around" and one "as a backup." Seriously.

Is she expecting it to break right away? I guess it's like how some people own two cell phones. I don't get it, but hey when you're 60 and still single and have way too much money...

You can only buy packs of 24 here in Ontario, sometimes 28. If there was an option to get 30 I would. More beer = happier me.

Howard: "Classic Riley caller, calls in and starts with a compliment, and then complains."

Not a minute later, a caller calls Howard

Caller: "I love the new schedule on H101!"
Howard: "Thank you so much, our fans love us."
Caller: "Can you stop using the word 'retard?' It's offensive."

Does anyone keep track of the daily commercial breaks and lengths anymore? There's been a break at 7:00, 7:30, and 8:00 so far.

I kept track of the commercials today:

6:57:53 - 7:06:29 (8m 36s)
(missed what they were hawking)

8:17:40 - 8:29:52 (12m 12s)
Adam & Eve, Cheetah Energy Drink, I Hate Steven Singer

8:44:26 - 8:57:14 (12m 48s)
Legal Zoom, End of America 13, Beezid, Cougar Life, Identity Guard

9:40:47 - 9:46:32 (5m 45s)
American Bullion Gold, Loaded Questions, Hannah, Identity Guard, Bud Light

9:51:21 - 9:52:41 (LIVE READ) (1m 20s)
Cheetah Power Energy Drink

10:03:56 - 10:04:35 (LIVE READ) (39s)

Show ended at 10:10:40

Note that I'm counting the skits and songs that they play leading into and out of the commercials as part of the breaks.

I might be off slightly on the first commercial break, because I missed the beginning of it and had to catch it from the West Coast Feed. I think it should actually be closer to a 12m break like the others, but oh well.

So that's a total of 41m 20s worth of commercials/breaks during today's show.

No I don't think they've ever been allowed to. You can buy gameday audio from mlb.com for $20 a season. You could also get an app for your phone for 15 bucks that'll play radio streams for no additional charge.

Not in Philly but I grew up in a house where any local sporting event was watched on TV with the sound down while we listened to it being called on the radio.
