And has Robin ever really broken down on the show before? I usually judge her patience by her psychotic laugh, but I don't think I've ever seen her go nuts on the show outside of walking off and banning the replay from mocking her.

Maybe after this bout of depression Robin will realize that she needs to take a more conventional route to mental and physical health. Ayawaska, coffee enemas, detoxing, fasting, colonics and the rest of that bullshit doesn't work. Go to a loving therapist!

One of the Fight Weeks has a great clip of Robin becoming unhinged after losing to Dominic Barbara in basketball. She didn't even make an attempt to play it off with nervous laughter like she usually does. It was straight up screaming at everybody.

There was also Robin getting so exasperated by Stuttering John that she wanted to crap in his mouth, but I get the feeling that's actually a normal reaction to spending time with John.

The fight week shows are some of the best collections they've ever produced. Robin threatening Stuttering John with a poo poo in the mouth is really one fantastic segment.

I remember watching a show recently on weird food addictions. They had a young women who has eaten nothing but french fries for every meal in her life since she was like 5 years old. And not like fresh potato oven fries either, it had to be frozen store bought fries deep-fried in oil.

The kicker is that she was not overweight at all and quite attractive. She even had a healthy daughter of her own whom I assumed must be made completely out of potato atoms.

So yeah, I'm not even sure that what you eat really has that big of an impact as long as you're active and don't eat to excess.

You would think being around Howard would teach you the real importance of taking care of yourself mentally and physically. gently caress, hanging around on that show should teach you how to important it is to bathe and keep sane.

The second one is understandable.

But Robin is really wound up tighter than her hair extensions. Maybe she should see a real therapist and try to change her life. It's better than getting the Stern equivalent of getting humiliated on-the-air constantly.

The best is that during the news Robin reported that the rapture guy, who is 89, went and saw his mother to say goodbye.

Fantastic journalism. Barring her being extremely old, there's not even a hint of anything related to that with a quick Google search.

So the settlement is that subscription prices wont go up from their current rates for the rest of the year? What kind of bullshit lawsuit is this? I want :10bux:

quote:

As part of the proposed Settlement, Sirius XM has agreed not to raise the price of its base subscription plan and certain other prices through the end of 2011. Additionally, subscribers with long term plans (excluding lifetime subscriptions) will be permitted to restart their plan at current rates before December 31, 2011. After approval of the Settlement, former subscribers will also be permitted to either (a) reconnect their satellite radio without paying a reactivation fee and receive one month service at no cost; or (b) receive one month of Sirius XM Internet streaming service at no cost. The estimated value to the Class of the Settlement is approximately $180 million. :rolleyes::fh: The Settlement does not provide for cash payments to Class members.

Sounds like they flat out told him regardless of why the merger took place, those subs aren't his to claim.

Which fine, if he is getting screwed more power to him. But Howard Stern is not the most self aware person. Who knows what happened. He sounded like kind of an rear end in a top hat this morning.

Yeah, I like angry Howard but he wasn't being interesting about it nor was it funny.

I do think its funny though that he uses the word 'acquired' or 'acquisition' instead of merger like before.

That audio that the bus driver sent in today of the crazy guy making those hosed up noises was hilarious. It almost sounded fake to me, like what a 12 year old would do to his 10 year old brother to try and scare him into thinking there is a monster under the bed, or in the closet etc. None the less, I almost pissed myself laughing, and would love to go on a bus and start doing that, to gently caress with people. I just don't think I'd be able to keep a straight face.

Howard also cut a caller off during the rant when the caller started to say something about Howard working four days a week.

I had to listen to the rant on HELLO YOOTOOB 'cause I finally poo poo-canned my Sirius sub. My drat radio sat in a drawer for at least two months out of six "No, don't cancel, we'll give you free time" months. So if anyone wants a Stratus 3 with an AC cord I had to repair because of a cat who chews wires and a car dock that I'm pretty sure doesn't broadcast an FM signal, y'know, say something and I'll throw out some contact info. Unless I should take it to SA Mart or something.

I'll always have Sal's Apology. And, you know, youtube.

No, M.Knight Shama-lanma-ding-dong was funny for about the first 8 or 9 times, and then it got old.
