It was funny enough without Richard and Sal. Some guy would call in every day saying that he had blue underpinning for sale (look it up if you are not familiar with trailer parks), countless woman selling wedding/brides maid/prom dresses sizes 18-22, and more Praise Jesus and Gold Bless Yous then you could count.

It sounds funny.

Then he rambles on about government things like how they built a fake WTC and used lights and mirrors to trick people into thinking it blew up.

This reminded me of a few weeks or so after 9/11 Howard interviewed Daniel Carver and Timothy McVeigh came up. "He blowed up a building"


Also, speaking of Daniel Carver, Robin, again having to demean herself by moving from her enclosure to sit somewhere else before the Carver roast.

I honestly think that was because she was so fat at the time. I'm pretty sure this was when she was at her heaviest.

I was like who is this guy and what is going on here?
A couple years back I got a call on my cell phone from some guy who asked for my (semi-unusual enough that I don't personally know anyone else who shares it but not bizarre) first name, I said "Yeah,"

he then launches into this story about financing a car and the details and how they're not going to offer the loan and etc. and I'm thinking "Oh great, some sort of loving identity theft nonsense..." and at the very least some sort of phishing attempt - but it kind of puzzled me because I'm pretty sure I can get a car financed, so I said wait, What the hell is this about and who are you trying to call? He says the full name and the number which is 1 digit off from mine, and then starts rattling off someone else's financial and address details, I'm like "That's not me" and he was as genuinely baffled as I was at the unlikeliness of him calling a random wrong number with the same first name.

It was pretty loving weird though.

My symbol is unique to me, you will have to order your own if you want to meet me on the mothership with Riley, Ergon, and Tan.

Its a pretty cool thing to have, everyone asks what it is and I say its my boarding pass to the mothership... which always leads to interesting conversations.

Pretty sure he claims each is unique. From seeing a few all he does is take a set of symbols(stars, ankhs, all-seeing eyes, etc) and then just rearrange them in a somewhat random pattern inside the circle. I feel confident most if not all of the symbols contain roughly the same things but outside of that I do think he draws them all and isn't just printing off a bunch down at Kinko's.

Censorship, quality and value. Reairing old shows requires a lot of work censoring out references to old advertisers, things Howard said that would embarrass him now, things that would set off Artie, etc. Is all that work worth it if the shows aren't very good? Let's face it, for every great bit the show does, there are at least five that fall flat. The good ones, meanwhile, are repeated ad nauseum over the next few weeks of shows. With the show's good bits being run into the ground on replay, it cheapens the value of the old shows. You can't air "Best Ofs" or History of Howards because all the best bits have been airing nonstop on 101.

That, or Howard just doesn't care about the listeners. The tapes thing is a huge pissing match between Howard and Sirius and Sirius isn't getting them for free.

Whether or not you believe in Nazi Government Mind Control is one thing, but there are numerous studies showing that flourination of drinking water is ineffective at preventing tooth decay.

That is wrong and fluoridation is considered by the CDC to be one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. Tooth decay rates have dropped at an absolutely astonishing rate(anywhere from 50-80% depending on the nation) in the last 40ish years because of fluoridation.

Not the time and place for such an argument but know that the anti-fluoridation arguers are hilariously off-base in basically anything they speak of on the subject. They aren't on the same level of, say, Truthers or moon landing hoax believers but much like those people they have practically no scientific legs to stand on in any debate.

I forgot about all the live reads. I guess there's no way in hell they would give those out for free.

I don't really care too much though, since there were (are?) websites that had all the Sirius shows archived by month and I was able to snag pretty much everything from 2006 to 2008. The only problem is that the lovely audio quality.

What the hell is the skeleton in the closet that makes a (near)billionaire, married to a supermodel, who works 4 days a week so unhappy/angsty/neurotic?

I know he was bullied for his race/religion, told he was worthless by his parents, busted his rear end for every rung in the career ladder he's climbed, and had his rear end checked with a flashlight for pinworms.

People have put up with way worse, and topped out with an average looking wife and a 60ka year job. Look to any middle/high school thread in GBS or PYF for some examples.

Hearing him berate the wannabe musician that called in this morning turned my stomach. He's at the top of the game, and somehow seems far angrier than any of the Jake LaMotta type DJ's who never had a shot outside a local Top-40 market. Theres got to be an issue that drives 3 visits to therapy a week, but I dont think its anything thats been revealed on air so far.
