Same exact manosphere "having hobbies or loving your kids is gay" horseshit these types fall prey to

It’s being unable to fathom why someone would devote time and energy to an activity that isn’t a direct path to either money, sex, or fame. A real man becomes a musician not because he loves music but as means to have a rock star lifestyle with a party mansion and endless poontang. Anyone who isn’t reaching for this goal is a gay loser. So Richard’s incredible skill at drumming is an enormous waste of time because “hot chicks” don’t care about death metal.

Hearing Howard having to pretend to like the Beer League premier was kinda entertaining.

Was the Dinner at Gary's also where the bar stool bits come from? That was pretty fun to listen to.

Wasn't he standing on n the doorway yelling at Beth that it was time to leave while she was saying goodbye? Why invite him anywhere? Why do that to yourself?

Ugh, my Dad did this to us all the time. We'd all get in a fight about it and then we just stopped going because he'd say, "Well all we do is fight when we are at my cousin's house, so why go?"



I feel like I've turned this into the Boomer Thread. Let's get back on track.

I think that was Gary talking about his Super Bowl party (Howard didn't attend) and how his wife made him sit in the stools so that the guests would get the "good seats".

When Gary's dad died, they held up the funeral (or casket closing) for Artie. He shows up late (because he was buying heroin 2 states away) and then drops to his knees in front of the casket for an embarrassingly amount of time. Howard didn't make it because Beth "fell and broke her foot".

Remember the time Howard got pissed that he didn't get to sit close to the front of Ed Bradley's funeral? wtf?

Congrats to Howard's useless therapist for the most thorough, long-lasting robbery of a millionaire ever recorded in history. We should all strive to reach such excellence.

This kind of got glossed over, but add TM to the "I love giving money to crackpots" poo poo as well. You know they've fleeced him for a couple milly over the decades at least. And, I'm way the gently caress out of my depth here because I haven't listened to the current show in years, but isn't Howard involved in some other weird, cultish type poo poo right now? I am very willing to admit I just pulled that out of thin air,but it's been nagging me for a couple days.

Everyone loves hearing about dreams, right? I had a dream last night I was seeing was seeing an AGT taping at an abandoned mall with my family. We got split up at some point, so I decided to go on a water slide after getting kicked out of TGIFridays. My pants fell off on the water slide, and Howard and Ralph were waiting for me at the bottom so they could take pictures of my penis. I kept demurring, but they wouldn't leave me alone; they just kept asking to look at it. They were really weird and giggly about it.

Howard got sucked into the Getting Things Done movement, which is how he found Marci Turk.

The TM stuff is from his Mom. I believe she got into meditation as a way to chill from all the mental health issues but at the time TM was about the only thing around. I'm sure most of Howard's "donations" were at the request of his mother or at least for her benefit. I agree that meditation is fantastic for mental health, but you don't have to pay top dollar for it.

He is also a dedicated follower of Sarno which is one of those fun situations where there is someone who makes some valid points but goes too far with it and builds a cult of personality around it. There was even someone praising him on Thursday Night Football yesterday. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/10/2/16338094/dr-john-sarno-healing-back-pain

It (curing back pain via Dr. Sarno) is also another way to rid yourself of the curse of homosexuality, according to Howard (when he was "out of his mind back then").

He held on to homosexuality being "curable" during the beginning of his Sirius run, and that Sarno was still the guy to do it. He walked back classifying it as a mental illness, but he still believed it was the byproduct of childhood trauma or whatever.

Yeah, TM might actually be one of the more healthy things that he did/does. It's not really a "cult" where you pay money to somebody constantly. If he was giving money to that yogi dude, it was of his own accord.

He has talked about giving tons of money to TM organizations. It's another one of those things where they took something that actually does have measurable and proven benefits, but then used it to make a cult (or cults) of personality that became a big business. When you hear Howard talk about people he is going to interview or a book he read, he absolutely puts stuff he likes up so high on a pedestal that it's creepy. He absolutely is susceptible to this stuff and would probably be a Scientologist by now if he was broadcasting from LA.
