That call was awesome. The other recent one I loved was getting friendly with the conservative radio guy then suggesting they should hang out, walk around in high heels, and kiss a little bit.

Crotch Bat posted:A thought I had recently: what did Eric's parents think when they saw his head explode on Fringe? Did he call and tell them not to watch? Did they anyway? Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that one. Holy poo poo, yes. I would loooooove to even hear or read the smallest interview or statement from any member of his family regarding ANYTHING Eric did. I kind of hate how, aside from Eric mentioning things about his family, we know nothing. I'm not looking to stalk anybody, I'd just love for there to have been even one segment where his parents called in.

I'm amazed that Eric would agree to be on a show where his head blew up. After all, people might think his head exploded in real life! That's why he turned down all those other jobs.

Last week's was awesome. "Thank you for coming to my gay son's Hilary Clinton themed bar mitzvah!" How has he not been ruined yet? Usually someone finds the guy and clues him in, but maybe he is just that nuts...

I think one of the few things we really do know about Eric's relationship with his parents is that the show almost got him sent into exile at the lakehouse, whatever that meant. I think it says something when your family is so ashamed by your antics and obsessive caller status that they think 'okay, time to lock him up in a vacation home so maybe he can just stare at a wall until we put him to rest under that marble bench we're calling a tombstone.' I suppose his family will forever remain a mystery. I'm just curious how they got Jon/Yon to be his caretaker throughout his childhood.

I don't think his parents had any idea of what he was really up to since it was what, 3am usually when he'd call in? It's like when I would stay up late on the the weekends watching Shannon Tweed movies on Cinemax and Showtime After Dark.

Fair, but at the same time, I started listening to Eric when he was still alive and, through Youtube alone, I learned everything I know about him. His parents/family didn't need to be awake to hear about the crazy poo poo he got himself involved in.

He just didn't like it because it was isolated to him. I suspect many of us may find such a place a getaway, though. Eric probably didn't have the ability to appreciate it in the same way. Jon was just his friend. His parents called once Eric needed to leave the nest, which I believe was in his late 20s since he and Jon just started living together not long before he started calling, and asked him to take care of him then.

"Don...t...send...me...to...th.....lake...house...ma" The whole lake house thing made me think that a lot of Eric's conversations with his parents ended with them wheeling him into a corner and either cutting the power to his chair or setting the locking brake somehow. He was an embarrassment and thus the shunning. Crotch Bat posted:He initially lived at the lakehouse when he first started calling. He just didn't like it because it was isolated to him.

My memory is hazy, but didn't Jon also wheel him around during his grade school days? I remember someone who went to school with Eric also mentioned 'that big goofy guy that always followed him around as well.' Unless Eric's parents had a lot of goofy weird guys who would babysit their little monster at school as well.

How is a guy in a wheelchair with only one caretaker/friend supposed to enjoy a lakehouse? It's not like he was physically capable of going swimming or hiking or really anything that would make a lakehouse getaway fun, especially if he didn't have a radio and/or the cell phone service required to call in to the show.

One of Eric's all time dick moves was not allowing Jon to gently caress any of the Bunny Ranch whores. Supposedly Eric didn't want to get Jon's sloppy seconds even though Eric was probably getting sloppy thousands from Air Force Amy. After all the poo poo Jon went through for Eric and he can't pay for sex at the same establishment that Eric gets freebies from?

I also love how Eric was in such denial about no one making fun of him in high school. Didn't he say the only thing people called him was "speedy" or something because of how fast he'd wheel around. Right eric

It's not like he was physically capable of going swimming or hiking or really anything that would make a lakehouse getaway fun, especially if he didn't have a radio and/or the cell phone service required to call in to the show. Well so I addressed that in the sentence if you read it. Eric's hatred for the lakehouse stemmed from what he claims was isolation but the guy was a shut-in his entire adult life until he hooked up with Fratto. I'm sure isolation meant there wasn't a Wendy's around not "man there's nowhere to go to meet women". I was never there but I would virtually guarantee you Eric spent nearly all his time indoors at the lakehouse when even just being outside on the patio or deck or whatever would be leagues better but as I said, I don't think Eric had the ability to appreciate such a place the same way as many of us could.

He definitely mistook 'Speedy' for people doing that faux-teasing sarcasm (at its best) or outright sarcasm (at its worst). Not surprised in the least

Say what you will about Eric the Actor (nee Midget) but not many can lay claim to being fired by a future president of the United States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c_-q_TGGwE (at 55 mins) misdirectomy fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Jun 1, 2017 |

I really would have loved Howard get into a more detailed discussion about the lakehouse. I always assumed there was some small, insane reason he didnt want to go there. Like the cable provider didnt have country music television or some channel that had wrestling.

Gonna listen to all of them, because of course I am. Not being a regular listener of the show, I'm actually kind of surprised that Howard mentioned him on his 42nd birthday; I really figured that he wouldn't have come up at all. EDIT: Hahaha, listening to mixtape #1, ETA says 'Listen to me, I do not have one gay bone in my body'. It would have been a masterstroke for High Pitch to have then asked 'Do you want one?' Also, I loved 'I'm small in the pants, too. Can we talk about this?' Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jun 1, 2017 |

But I can't think the parents really cared that much about the hookers, except the talking about it on the radio part. The guy needed an outlet to the outside world, I'd hope his parents understood that. And I'm glad the little guy got to have sex, I can't imagine waking up in that body everyday. Your reg date is 3/11, the day the nightmare began for the Lynch family. I know too much about ETM. I could probably write a dissertation on the little guy.
