Bonzo posted:I don't know if Howard ever called Natalie fat (and she would have called him out on it imho) but ETM did says he was going to "gently caress her chubby butthole" if she didn't stop arguing with him. Which was funny for a couple of reasons: 1) ETM wasn't even physically able to gently caress. When he lost his virginity, the women had to ride him. 2) His first call in to the show was to defend Kelly Clarkson after Howard called her fat.

If he thinks, say, 125lbs is fat, and for example Robin is anything north of that, he's essentially saying it about her, too. But it's not like Howard would ever consider that.

Lifespan posted:Howard has a pretty severe case of body dysmorphia and projects that on to other people constantly. It makes me wonder as Robin has had weight issues her whole life and I think she is actually at her largest right now, so listening to Howard railing on people for not being stick thin must be odd. Howard has always been obsessed with weight and not eating. To him, the more skinny you are, the more attractive you are. An emaciated woman could walk in with visible ribs, and he'd probably still tell her to lose 10 pounds.

They are broke as poo poo and even still he bought a boat so he could "work on it" all day; aka ignoring his two children. I am not joking when I say he did not show up to his own daughter's 3rd birthday party. They're not even divorced or anything. He just said "that's the wife's job, I'm going fishing".

If I were married to someone who said something like that, I would think long and hard about whether or not I wanted to continue my life with him. Seriously. Also, someone who views their child's birthday party as a parental obligation exclusively other than their own (and views animal harm as funny) seems utterly conscience-less, in a mentally ill sort of way. edit: Bonzo posted:Didn't he pretty much call the Bunny Ranch constantly after that or even tried the owner's (Dennis?) personal number? Yeah, he was calling Hayley & Cherry every day like they were friends. Iirc, when they finally got sick of Eric, Dennis (may he rest in peace) tried to throw Robin (or somebody else from the show) under the bus by convincing him that she was cockblocking him somehow. I've been listening to his saga constantly lately. Each year feels like a season of a show. YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Dec 8, 2021 |

From what I recall Dennis and Eric became buddies, then one time Dennis was in town and wanted to visit Eric while Eric still lived with his parents. But when he got there Eric just closed the curtains and told his family to ignore Dennis and that led to a fight on the show.

Remember after his first visit to the Ranch, Howard asked if he was in love and his response was some thing like "I don't want to say." I want to say "poor kid" but he was like 30 then.

Yeah, Eric told him that if he let him in, his parents would have disapproved and then he would have been sent to The Lakehouse as punishment. It's not like he would have had to tell them though. Whatever, he wasn't exactly known for his good judgement.

Who was it that saw two of the prostitutes on their way in to gently caress Eric and said they had a look on their faces like they were being marched to the gas chamber?

If it makes you feel better, her friends hated him so much that she completely lost every one of her childhood friends when she married him. She told this to my wife because she was so appreciative to have a friend (my wife met her at a park my kids play at).

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:Johnny Brennan had his own podcast for a while and absolutely none of them were fake. He even talked about what some of the people wanted for permission to be on the album. The one with the chain saw (where Sol drops it on his legs), the woman actually wanted a chain saw so they went to Sears and got her one. I listen to all sorts of old poo poo (I think I have some shows from the 80's but Howard was more legitimately annoying back then) and I usually just write off Howard's lovely political takes, and how he called everybody fat and disgusting before he was in the "in" crowd (especially women who were average in size and not even overweight, who might actually enjoy eating good food or lovely fast/junk food once in a while like most normal people). It's easy to fast forward through most of those segments. I really started to get sickened by how much they'd mock and laugh at dead celebrities though, like not universally-despised characters but Kurt Cobain, Princess Di, etc. And the worst to me was Jackie's cat. It was just needlessly cruel and they also mocked Nancy for getting grieving counseling over the cat. Considering how the only time Howard came close to crying on the air was when his bulldog Bianca died, it's just a lovely thing to use for show material, song parodies and everything.

Yeah I didn't mean to imply that I thought it was hilarious when Jackie's cat died. I was just pointing out what a giant hypocrite Howard has always been. Also the unmitigated gall of having fuckin Ralph of all people sit there with a laser pointer and point out supposed flaws in people's looks

When did the cat die? I ask because there's a whole thing in Ms America about him trying to find his kid's lost cat. Something about him with an electric can opener and extension cord looking around the neighborhood.

The hardest part about listening to shows from the 90s is the liberal use of human being. I know we discussed recently and a lot has changed since then, but oof. Listening to it now doesn't come across as offensive just embarrassing and cringey.

That lasted well in to the 2000s. It was only when Takei became a regular and told them they shouldn't use the word that everyone except Artie stopped using it.

Artie absolutely would have let one of the Queer Eye guys gently caress him if they had called his bluff. I'm absolutely sure of it. One of the biggest examples of alcohol as truth serum I've ever seen in my life.

I don't think he has a good barometer for that, especially back in his "dancing" days. Kind of like how he claimed he toned it down for the second part of that (in)famous Joe Buck show appearance, the portion that was part of some Internet only broadcast.

He is definitely super gross, but I think he is funny when he just loses his poo poo for no loving reason. Like someone would come in the studio and say "Ronnie looks a little tired today" and he would walk in yelling, take personal shots, then start claiming he has some big secret about them he will let out.
