I thought his father was a professor. But who knows if I'm remembering anything correctly. And props to Sarah Silverman. Good for her.

Jason also came in and did an underhanded dig at Howard about not criticizing Trump last week. I think Howard feels he's in a no win situation when it comes to Trump. Maybe feels some loyalty to Trump since he's had Trump on the show so many times over the years.

I'm reminded of the show after Howard came back from his wedding and he accused Trump of leaking the time & location of the ceremony to the press, as he wouldn't want to go somewhere if the press weren't there to film it. Great friend!

I agree with Sarah but she came off soooooo whiney and it ruined the entire "interview". It was, by far, the worst interview of the year and that's saying a lot. She does have a point though. Howard tows a line in regards to Trump. The most he does is questions like, "I wonder what he's thinking when he says that?" or "Why would he do that? That's strange." In the past he'd call people out for being a delusional nutcase if they as much as said they liked something that Howard didn't like. Now, Trump does a lot that we know Howard hates and he won't really speak a bad word about the guy. It's so strange.

They started to make fun of Jason for tweeting about Trump and he came in and said, "Robin, you've got no room to speak about Twitter, have you seen the wacky poo poo that is posted on yours?" And then went on to say, "I think it's more respectable to openly speak out about my dislike for Trump than it is to say one thing behind closed doors and another thing in public." and Howard lost his poo poo. He immediately did that, "BYE!" thing he does when he kicks Benjy out of the studio. He kicked Jason out and then went on and on about it and it even bled into the commercials. Jason came in swinging. Moniker fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Oct 3, 2017 |

I'm not some Stern conspiracy theorist. I really think he's actively trying not to be overly critical while at the same time not speaking out in support of him. There are at least 5-10 times he's been asked direct questions and he hardly gives a direct answer.

For the FCC thing, they came after him pretty directly while turning a blind eye to others. I can't blame him for combating it on the show. For the Trump thing, I actually understand why he tries not to rabbit hole too much about it. Talk radio is effectively only sports or political talk. He will never fall in to sports, but because politics run the news right now, it would be super easy to fall in to a routine of political talk and make the show just boring. Talking about it is unavoidable, but I actually appreciate that while he does share some of his political views, he isn't using the show as some sort of soapbox. Eventually he just needs to get back to fart jokes and stories about his parents.

The fact that Howard actually knows Trump and is (was?) friends with him makes his opinions on the matter more interesting than 99% of the radio pundits/journalists out there. How many of them can say that they've hung out with Trump personally? Howard had no problem making GBS threads all over Bush and Obama whenever they did something that pissed him off. The silence about Trump says far more about Howard's personality & priorities than any condemnation/support would.

He hasn't come even remotely close. And again, this is particularly evident when you compare it to his anti-Bush stance (once Janet Jackson revealed her breast, at least). With Trump, Howard has pretty much just kept up a refrain of, "I don't know why he would want to be President".

Howard also dodges criticism of Trump by saying "I just don't know enough about the issues to say something". He said that during the Sarah Silverman interview. That's the most disingenuous part to me.

I've always thought about what a woman feels during sex and my without my prompting my wife has said the same thing about being a dude. It doesn't mean I'm attracted to men or she's attracted to women, it just means we're different and it's interesting. Ronnie is just an idiot and can't explain it.

I have had that conversation with my wife as well... but a conversation and not actually interested in swapping bodies. He then took it even further by describing the two encounters he wanted and the relationships involved. It was definitely more than a passing curiosity, though him flipping out the second people started goofing on him is always great.
