It feels like every day of the show includes Robin making several unfunny jokes building on what other people in the studio are saying and they all just ignore her and talk as if she isn't there. Or Howard gives her a pity acknowledgement and continues on. She's dumb and broken and bad at her job.

I cringe every time Robin tries to make an impression of someone. It's always so terrible and unfunny. She tries to jump in when other people in the studio are doing it, whether they are imitating Ronnie or JFK or whomever. She just NEEDS to be involved in it somehow but she just ends up embarrassing herself.

Agree, agree, disagree.

I think that the "dumb and broken" part is what makes her a good audience surrogate. Which is her primary function on the show.


Holy poo poo, one of the best Gilbert appearances EVER. He like, actually talked about his life a little bit. Hearing that laugh live in the studio is one of my great pleasures in life.

When I think of a dumb and broken stereotypical listener I think Sal.

Edit, well yeah, I meant on the staff. I'd think more along the lines of rear end Napkin Ed for a typical listener.

thats really no excuse though, there are plenty of people who have suffered abuse at a young age that either go to therapy which she can easily afford, and work out their feelings, or people who pull themselves up by the bootstraps and behave like adults.

Robin is a retarded person.

Those other people are hosed up too. they are just not on the radio

They talked about it at the very end of the show during Robin's news. Hopefully they got that poison out of their systems.

Therapy doesn't bat remotely close to 1.000 and the ability to trudge on with life usually means people ignore the problem at hand and try to bury it.

Look, sometimes Humpty Dumpty breaks and can never be pieced back together. Or maybe Robin was broken from day 1, who knows. All that is clear is that she has not led a normal life and that can lead to odd expressions. I'm not condoning anything she says or does, I'm usually vehemently opposed to any idea of hers, all I'm saying is that I can see where this stuff is probably coming from and why she is doing it.

I think Robin should serve as a lesson: if you have problems, go to therapy so you don't waste your life. There's a ton of difference between being a 65-year old rape survivor that has moved on with their life and made the best of a bad situation and a 65-year old balding lunatic who has a lot of money, a lot of time, and nothing to fill it with.

Pretty funny how howard couldn't understand what ronnies girl was after. I guess he doesn't understand how it works with guys like ronnie and 20 something broken girls.

Ronnie came really close outright saying he blows tons of cash on her.

drat I gotta get me some HowardTV to see the rest of this. First time I've ever actually thought "I MUST have HowardTV!" Can I get it for 1 month? If it is 9.95 and this video is 15 minutes or longer it might be worth it just to subscribe, watch this video, then cancel.

Robin is off her rocker insane. She makes me want to go to therapy so if just in case I am nuts and don't know it I will have time to get the ship righted before I'm 70 years old face down in some Bolivian mud shoving Little Debbie cakes up my browneye

The fact that she dedicates a ton of time and money to what basically amounts to a fraudulent charity is enough for me to not be a big fan of hers.

That's a really crazy defense mechanism. I mean I guess it gets her through but how much rage must she bottle up.

I can't stand her but I also feel a little bit bad for her. Not too much though, I mean the bitch makes tons of money. For parroting Howard and fake laughing for sixteen hours a week. OH and reading Yahoo.com news stories.

They probably have the same idiots who can't figure out how to merge sirius and xm accounts working on the app. The level of incompetence at that company is astounding.

That's weird because I have had zero problems with the updated app (iPhone) in regard to being signed off (hell, I rarely even drop connection and it will just drop the stream quality and continue playing).

Are you only talking about the iPhone app? If you are talking about the web stream via sirius.com, gently caress that poo poo. Go download XMTuner, it's been solid for me when I am home/not using 3g to stream.

I was talking about the iPhone app. I haven't used sirius.com in I don't know how long.

With the old app, I would have problems every now and again, but with the new one, it seriously happens multiple times a time. I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent iOS and everything.
