I like that Howard doesn't get that AGT is what NBC shows when there's no infomercials to show.

Who gives a gently caress when it's on? It's a dopey talent show time-filler. There's no plot, it doesn't matter if you miss 4 of the 16 hours a week it's on.

An hour of AGT scheduling chat. Perfect start to the show, it really doesn't get any better than this :allears:

But we need to build the fan base of mouth breathers with nothing better to do than watch the safe version of the gong show!

Howard is just experiencing the joys of pandering to the mainstream. It feels great for awhile, like posting on 4chan, where anything with the smallest effort gets you claps and hoots from the eager and easy to please crowd of millions. But soon enough he will realize what he is doing and grow to hate it and himself, missing the thrill of having Bobo tell you what an awesome job you did on the radio show where you really talk about what matters.

I finally gave up and cancelled my online subscription. It's not worth it anymore with the lack of shows and Artie and possible Robin's exit from the show. I can't remember the last time I listened to the show.

I gave up on the show back in Oct. It was obvious to me that Artie absence really hurt the show. I only miss the wack pack, Fred, and Sal/Richard, but the filler in between them is beyond harrible.

The Nick and Artie show has more than filled the gap for me, as I'm a huge sports fan as well. Also getting the show 5 days a week is nice.

I think his mindset at this point is so stuck on "gently caress it, I made people laugh every day for 25 years, they can go somewhere else if they don't like the show now", that it makes a realization such as the one you describe impossible.

I don't think Howard could have been any happier chatting it up with the ladies on the view and being liked by them. Being liked by people is HUGE on his list now, and part of the reason why he isn't the old Howard.

Can't make fun of this person, I go to Nobu with them for salads! Wendy Williams? Naw, she is a sweatheart, smart person, very together and not worth goofing on, also Beth will be on her show talking about shoes for cats.

The best is his reasons for making up with Kathie Lee. "To be honest I can't even remember what issues I had with her."

Also the dark and hosed up part of me hopes she's loving that dude from mom caves, because Howard is a million times better when he's full of rage.

Sit ups do not do anything in regard to getting a flat stomach.

Unless you consider the amount of calories burned during sit ups to be an aerobic activity.

A flat stomach begins and ends in the kitchen. You can crunch all day long but it's not gonna do a drat thing.

So are those paid callers being paid a flat salary or is it only per call that gets on the air? A few people lost some income today.

I have to believe HateMan could get Sirius. Has he ever called in since the move? I know they played some of his uncensored calls from the terrestrial years, but I'm not sure if he's left a new message since they moved.

Maybe you don't even know what toning means? It won't "thin it out" but it will tighten it and change the shape and appearance. Spend five seconds on any fitness site or Watch and Weight and see if they recommend jogging to improve your stomach. Come on, man.

You and Howard should hit the gym together.

I think the issue everyone is having is that anyone who has spent time in a gym or W&W (YLL now) knows that toning a bullshit term.

Howard has a flabby stomach because he runs and doesn't do difficult compound exercises like squats and deadlifts (which are some of the best exercises for your core).

Ok, end W&W talk.
