I worry that later on this month we'll find out Richard quit his band to appease Howard. If that happens I'm unsubscribing from this thread and will be done with Howard. Richard is awesome and I'll be heartbroken if they drive him to do that for their approval :ohdear:

I doubt it'll happen - Richard is the most self-confident guy on the show, and I think that's what drives Howard nuts. He can make fun of his weird quirks like loving halloween, not showering, and wearing diapers to rock concerts, but at the end of the day Richard just laughs it off, goes home, fucks his woman and has a few beers, watches some movies and goes to sleep happy.

The dude is amazing - he is getting paid to make prank phone calls and play drums in a metal band - this is like the dream life for every midwestern teenager I grew up with.
Hell yeah, Richard in one day of his life has more happiness and fulfillment than Howard has had in his entire life. Howard just wishes he had a passion or interest in anything but loving Beth anymore.

Howard is happy with his life. Doing poo poo he doesn't like makes him miserable -- just like us. Luckily, he doesn't have to do poo poo that makes him any more miserable than us folks when poo poo doesn't go our way. Yeah, he may be neurotic, but so what?

Not at all. Do you hear the way he reacts whenever he gets invited to some sort of party or any other social event and what a loving nightmare it sounds like to him? The dude struggles with any sort of social environment that's not in a studio. He's perfectly relaxed, comfortable and in control on his show. But once he's out of his element he's sounds crazy and unhappy to me.


(I base this on every single thing he has ever said about his life outside of the show)

Well, I skipped that one, too. But I can't stomach celebrity interviews in any format, usually. Like, I love Craig Ferguson but I race to shut that poo poo off after he gets done reading Tweets and emails because gently caress if I care about the funny funny pranks Ashton Kutcher played on Natalie Portman on the set or whatever bullshit they talk about.

This is kind of off topic but you should really give Ferguson's interviews a chance, dude. They completely spoil you on other interviews on other shows forever. While other talk shows have an incredibly rehearsed, robotic recreation of the pre-interview they had, Ferguson doesn't give a gently caress and he just bullshits with them about anything leading to some really hilarious, organic interviews that flow just like a real human conversation. I am by no means whatsoever a regular Ferguson viewer but every single interview of his that gets linked in the Late NIght TVIV thread has been magic :allears:

Which is why the Tradio calls are the best. They can't really fake that main guy. Though I always felt like the Swap Shop "Exotic Jungle Bunny" was fake cause the pace of the call is exactly the same format as their fake Jack & Rod radio show introduction, and the hosts are just waaaaaaaaaaaaay too gullible.

And I take back my last post, this is the best prank of theirs and I was in tears the first time I heard this

gently caress Robin forever. How the gently caress hasn't anyone there pointed out that any time the Doctor had anything negative to say about Robin she just talked over her and acted like she knew better. I cringed when she told the Doctor not to talk to her.


All I wanted was for her to have been announced the most hosed up :negative:

Not to get all mad doctor cthulu but I wonder if she answered the questions truthfully or answered it the way she thought Mother Teresa would have to draw the least amount of flak her way

Ehhh, I think he has every right to be thrilled and to brag about it and I'll tell you why.


The Doc even said he craves others' approval, attention, etc beforehand... He feels like he used to be incredibly damaged, perhaps beyond repair mostly due to his childhood and sought help to fix his issues. Now he goes to therapy and talks at length about how much it's helped him and is incredibly proud of it and his progress. Today on the show he just had a real licensed Doctor, unaffiliated with his shrink, come on the show that dispensed with a literal metric "score" that said "hey you're the least hosed up out of everyone here!!! :woop:".

He has every right to be happy. I would too if I were him :unsmith:

Does he ever sue anyone? I think even his lawyer take advantage of him.

Howard: YouTube and American Idol take money from me, I want to sue!
Lawyer: Well...I don't know Howard. I guess you could...maybe
Howard: yeah I guess that would too much trouble
Lawyer: yep! Oh look, your retainer is due. That'll be $10,000 please.
Howard: Can you take a cheque? I gave my last $500 in cash to the guy that setup the TV in my bedroom.

You'd think he'd at least go to settle out of court or something. It's like how his therapist keeps telling him he'll be normal as long as he does three sessions a week.

I'm not lawyer but I was just thinkin. As sue-happy as Eric wants to be, couldn't he legitimately have a case as an entertainer against someone orchestrating deliberately spreading false rumors that he's dead? I imagine it could heavily damage someone's livelihood as people aren't going to try to hire a dead man.

Speaking of the shop vac, does anyone remember there was a call in, I cannot remember if it was ETM or Gary the Retard, and Sal called in as some late term abortion doctor playing vacuum sounds pretending he was aborting whoever the caller was. I searched youtube for about 15 minutes with no luck
This is way late but I was listening to the ETM pack last night and this clip came on. It's from the 09-03-2008 show and if you got the ETM megapack the clip is titled "Eric is pro-life", Sal comes in as Dr. Landafly around 7:38.
