robinswrong.com - August 2007

August 2007...

Robin reported today on President Bush's speech regarding the Iraq war. Howard was flipping out about the President's message, and asked where was Bush had given the speech and who was his audience. Of course, Robin was completely caught off guard by the question. She didn't know and (naturally) couldn't admit it, instead offering, "Oh probably at some..."

Thankfully, Gary interrupted on the intercom to inform Howard that it was at a VFW hall, saving us all from Robin's hemming and hawing. Next time Howard, just ask Bababooey. Please. (8.23.07) -Impeach Robin
 


Robin has now extended her Mike Walker game losing streak to three. I'm betting she hits double digits before getting another win.

Here are her latest and most up to date stats: 3 1/2 out of 25 in 2007 (14%) and 6 1/2 out of the last 50 (13%).  (8.23.07) -robinswrong

 

 

As Miss Amputee was talking about her relationship with a comedian (Craig Gass) and how they never went out much in order to keep the relationship a secret, the subject of listening to Raw Dog came up. "He never even took her out, it was always coming over to his house watching him watch Raw Dog?", Robin Quivers inquired.

One can only imagine how insulated and out of touch Robin must be. After all, she is the only Sirius employee that has no idea that you cannot
WATCH Raw Dog, because it is a radio channel on the satellite provider that writes out what must be an enormously bloated salary when compared to her value.  (8.23.07) -Always more knowledgeable than Robin (again...again)


When going over Sal's citizenship test, Gary read the question about what you need to become president. Robin blurted out, "you have to be a citizen!".

That's close, but not exactly correct. If you want to be a candidate you have to be at least 35 years old, be a natural-born citizen, and have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.

I wish they would let Robin answer every question on the test before talking. I bet she'd score about the same as Sal's 48%.  (8.22.07) -Jay LBC

 

Howard talked today about how unhealthy it is to use trans fat when cooking food and Artie asked what trans fat is. That is when our dietary authority Robin Quivers said, "I am trying...I was just going through my head and I'm trying to remember what a trans fat is, but I think it's like lard you know, the fats that congeals..."

Once again, we are less than impressed with Robin's medical training. Why didn't she just say, "I do not know?"

In the wake of her expose on cholesterol earlier in the week when she stated the body makes all the cholesterol it needs, and that cholesterol comes from eating dead animals Robin again showed that she has an endless supply of incorrect information when it comes to health. Trans fats come from plant oils, while lard is the rendered fat of hogs.

Is it possible that the brain is letting her down because gray matter in her skull is congealed trans fats stored back before she became the coffee enema queen and the paragon of health, six months ago?   (8.22.07) -Genman.

 

During today's opening segment, King of All Blacks called-in after having missed last night's Stern Fan Roundtable. Howard began chastising him and compared him to a misbehaving child.

He said, "It's like, what do you do with a child who keeps beating the family dog???" He implied that you either need to discipline the child or take away the dog.

However, both of these implications were completely lost on Robin, who immediately chimed in, "Yes, because if you're not careful, he eventually gets hit in the head." It's amazing that Robin was able to see past the superficial and determine that a child hitting the family dog would mean that the dog would eventually get hit in the head.  (8.21.07) -hero1240


Robin mentioned on the show today that she was working towards becoming vegan. Artie asked if Pop Tarts were vegan and Robin chortled and told him NO that if he was a vegan he couldn't eat Pop Tarts.

Odd, as I've been a vegan for more than half of my life and I eat Pop Tarts. Although not all are vegan, many are, and it is easy to tell by doing something as simple as READING THE BOX.  (8.20.07) -AL

 

The new Miss Howard TV, Ariana Marie, stopped by the studio today. Early in the segment Artie asked how old she was and Marie said 25.

A minute and a half later Robin Quivers, the one most apt to screech at someone for not listening asked, "how old are you?" to which Marie once again said she was 25.

Maybe Scott the Engineer should check to see if Robin's headphones are even plugged in.  (8.20.07) -beezer

 

Today when telling Howard about riding in her car and receiving a call from Jimmy Florentine, Robin said that she couldn't talk at first because her "driver has got such eagle hearing."

While eagles are renown for their eyesight, they are not distinguished for their hearing, according to baldeagleinfo.com.

With Robin's lack of listening skills, it's not surprising that she isn't an expert on hearing.  (8.20.07) -Burbank Ball Buster

 

Howard started talking about the Rob Zombie remake of the classic movie Halloween, and how much he liked it. Robin chimed in with a nice big scream how much she loved the original Halloween movie, and started shouting wrong information about the movie.

She yelled that Betsy Palmer played the mother in Halloween. Actually Robin, Betsy Palmer was Jason’s mother in the first Friday the 13th movie and Michael's mother really had no major role in the Halloween movie.

More murdered information by Robin.  (8.20.07) -garbagerobin
 

Someone who took the time to email me and say "get a life" back in February of this year emailed again today.  He said I post pro-Robin email that I receive so would I post our thread. I am more than happy to oblige.  The thread is kind of long, so if you would like to read it, please click the link below.  (8.16.07) -robinswrong

As you requested....




 


Today in the news Robin reported that the O.J. Simpson book, "If I Did It", was going to be released on Tuesday.

If you are looking forward to reading this, don't rush out Tuesday morning to your local bookstore with the hopes to pick up a copy. The related story linked on HowardStern.com says "If I Did It" is due out on October 3. 

If you are looking for something to read until October, there are many copies of "Quivers: A Life" available at the overpriced amount of one penny. (8.16.07) -robinswrong

 

As Sal introduced us to a whole new level of historical stupidity, it might have been missed that U.S. Colonial History Ph.D, Dr. Robin Quivers let loose a nice gaffe in her own right.

While talking about George Washington, Sal's suggested that Washington fought Indians. Chortling her reply in typical Robinesque fashion she said, "Washington didn't do anything with the Indians."

Robin is just as clueless about Washington as the clearly lobotomized Sal. Here is the real scoop to the colonically skinny Robin. Washington fought in a little thing we like to call the French and Indian War. It would later be known in Europe and the U.S. as the Guerre de sept ans. (Since we know Robin loves the Romance languages). Although Indians fought on both sides, they were primarily allied to the French and since Washington fought as a Lt. Colonel for the Virginia Regiment on the British side, against the French and those Indians, he did indeed have something to do with them.  (8.16.07) -Always more informed than Robin--(again)


New week and the same result. Robin has started yet another losing streak (2) playing the Mike Walker game.

Here are her latest and most up to date stats: 3 1/2 out of 24 in 2007 (14%) and 6 1/2 out of the last 49 (13%).  (8.16.07) -robinswrong

 


 

You could see this one coming like a hanging breaking ball over the middle of the plate. Robin reported today on the death of MLB legend Phil Rizzuto.  "He died yesterday", Robin said. 

Where does she get her facts?  According to the Associated Press and Major League Baseball, Scooter passed away Monday night. 

Another swing and a miss for Robin.  (8.15.07) -LarMcc

 


This morning when Howard was speaking about a You Tube issue, he said that You Tube at times has “entire shows” on there. Robin Quivers quickly jumped in again without thinking what was just said and in her need to confirm what Howard said added, “and it’s always the best part of the show”.

If the entire show is being broadcast I guess it would have to include the best part of the show.

Then, shortly after that comment when they were speaking to Gary the Retard on the phone. Gary mentioned that he was holding on since 3:00 am to speak with them. Robin rapidly jumped on that and said “well we don’t even come on until 6."

Robin should know that where Gary lives, which is in the Pacific Time Zone, that 6 am NY is 3 am where Gary is.

In that same conversation after Gary denied masturbating, Howard got him to admit to doing it once a day. Robin obviously missed that because later in the conversation he said it again and then Robin jumped in saying “oh now it’s once a day?”. Howard corrected her quietly that time. I guess she was too busy reading her news briefs from her little helpers.  (8.15.07) -JS


During the opening segment, Robin commented that Imus will now be free to rant and rave on television because “he’s now labeled racist conservative.”

Since when was Imus labeled as conservative? While he isn’t a left-winger, his show definitely favored liberals. I guess in Robin’s world, you HAVE to be a conservative if you say something remotely racist.

According to CBS news, “It’s bipartisan; Imus goes after both political parties. But, for some reason, politicians cannot seem to get enough of him.”  (8.15.07) -hero1240


Brought back once again by popular demand.  The Robin, "I was going to say" counter.  (8.15.07) -robinswrong
 

During the news Robin treated the listeners to a short, but very off key rendition of "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse.

Robin then continued her usual erroneous reporting by stating Winehouse collapsed on stage. While there have been numerous reports of Amy's weekend drug binge and a drug induced collapse at her home, none of them have reported an on stage collapse.

Can we send Robin to news woman rehab? (8.14.07) -Dora in Philly.

 

During the news today Robin stated that Brooke Astor, "New York's First Lady" was "married to one of those dudes that died in the Titanic."  Artie should know better than to try and jump on a Robin story and go down with a sinking ship, but he helped contribute by saying Astor's former husband was John Jacob Astor.

New York's First Lady was married to Vincent, the son of John Jacob Astor, who was a victim of the Titanic.  (8.14.07) -FS.



While doing her news today, Robin Quivers identified there was another teacher in space, Barbara Morgan. Right so far, but in typical Robinesque fashion, she missed the rest of the story.

Artie pointed out that there was a celebration when they made it past the spot where the shuttle exploded in 1986 when another teacher, Christa McAuliffe, was aboard. Spouting in her typical know it all self fashion, Robin said that Morgan hadn't made it as far because what happened in 1986 was during re-entry.

As usual, Robin is confused. The Challenger and its crew were killed upon lift-off. It was the Columbia, who didn't have a teacher as part of the crew, that broke-up during re-entry in 2003.  (8.13.07) -Always more informed than Robin


Robin reported today that Tiger Woods won his 13th PGA title yesterday at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

It was Tiger's 59th PGA win and his 13th major. Maybe what Robin needs during her news is a mulligan or two.  (8.13.07) -Hep C in Pam Lee/robinswrong
 


Welcome back from vacation, and still not knowing what your talking about Robin.

During her news Robin reported Adam 'PacMan' Jones will be wrestling for the WWE.

Wrong on both accounts. 'Pacman' will be working for TNA, not the WWE. He can not wrestle, or be involved in any physical activity while in TNA per a deal made between Tennessee Titan's and TNA who were worried about potential injury.  (8.13.07) -LanceJr

 

Robin reported today about a man who is suing 1-800-FLOWERS for $1,000,000.00 because they sent a fax confirmation to his wife for flowers sent to this girlfriend. She further reported now the wife is suing him for divorce.

According to ABC News, the husband and wife were already going through an uncontested divorce. When the man purchased the flowers he requested they keep the purchase private. The flower supplier sent a thank you note to his home, including a copy of the love note to the girlfriend, where the wife found it. The wife is now asking for a $300,000.00 divorce settlement.

Once again Robin has proven you do not need to include the facts when reporting the news. With her attention to detail we should all be happy she left the medical field.  (8.13.07) -Genman


The gang is back from vacation but the Miss Informed Robin Quivers didn't take long to get back to her inattentive ways.

While Artie told the story of Comedy Central censoring his racy Beer League PROMO ideas, Robin chirped in "And these are supposed to be roasts where you can get a little... crazy"

Maybe she'd have a better idea what a promo is if her talk show had ever seen the light of day. And she's probably more familiar with the kind of roasts she takes to bed with her.  (8.13.07) -Burbank Ball Buster


I nominate Andy as caller of the week.  He busted on Howard about taking off so much time for vacation and of course Robin Quivers had to interrupt the call.

Andy told Robin, "you ain't Howard anyway so let me finish".  And what was Robin's reply? "Oh be quiet!  You're not whoever you are", she said.  (8.13.07) -robinswrong
 

 

As I’ve been listening to the replays this week, I was reminded of what a terrific interviewer Howard is how he and gets guests to really open up to him. And then I realized that he could save himself a lot of trouble booking guests for the show. All he has to do is announce that he is going to interview (insert name here) and start asking the questions, without the guest even being there.

Robin then will answer all the questions. That’s what she does when the guest is there so she may as well do it when they are not there. Have you noticed how often that happens when Howard asks the guest a question and before the guest can even answer, Robin is answering for the guest and the guest just keeps their mouth shut. With this new style, Howard can interview any guest he wants at anytime.  Well, as long as Robin is there to answer for them.

I look forward to your return next week.  (8.9.07) -JS.


Robinswrong.com would like to wish Robin Quivers a happy 55th birthday.

Without you Robin and your inordinate number of f-ups, misspeaks, interruptions and echoing everything Howard says, this site wouldn't be possible.  (8.8.07) -robinswrong



 


Leave it to Robin to end the week on a perfectly wrong note when she said that The Bourne Identity is coming out tomorrow. Actually Robin, The Bourne Identity came out back in 2002. The movie coming out tomorrow is The Bourne Ultimatum, which is the 3rd movie in the series.

I think we know the identity of the always wrong news woman.  (8.2.07) -GarbageRobin
 

 

Robin said today that actress Scarlett Johansson will be playing Jenna Jameson in the film adaptation of her autobiography. A representative for Johansson commented to People.com on July 31st:

"Scarlett has never seen a script nor been approached about this project," says a rep for the actress. "She also has no interest in playing this role."

This statement has been widely spread in the gossip world over the past few days. Robin shows once again that she is clearly not a news person.  (8.2.07) - Robin’s Ego
 

Robin's winning streak of one came to an end today as she went down in defeat playing the Mike Walker game.

If you are scoring at home her totals are now: 3 1/2 out of 23 in 2007 (15%) and 6 1/2 out of the last 48 (14%).  (8.2.07) -robinswrong

 

 

During today's show Robin was discussing mammograms and the talk turned to implants and mammograms. Robin made a statement that you could mammogram implants but that someone with larger implants like Pam Anderson would have to get an ultrasound.

According to the Mayo Clinic website, you CAN get mammograms with implants and the only caveat was that you might want to find a doctor with experience to read the results.  (8.2.07) -dora in philly


 

This morning when Howard was discussing Danny Bonaduce self inflated and fudged ratings for his own radio show in LA. Robin asked aloud why would he gives us those fudged numbers "didn't he think we'd check. I guess he is used to dealing with reporters."

Now this is subtle, but important. In her mind "reporters" don't check their facts. No wonder she doesn't get anything right, she's a "reporter".

During the news, Artie mentioned that he's dying to see some midget porn.

Howard: We have midget porn here.

Robin: Is it with midgets though? Or do they have regular sized people?  (8.1.07) -hero1240


 

Little People Big World must be a very popular show. This has to be the most submitted item I've had since Robin screwed up the lyrics to a Fall Out Boy song a few months ago.  Thanks for everyone that sent this in. -robinswrong

Well, Robin continues to show off her impressive knowledge of reality shows. She talked about the TLC reality show "Little People, Big World" and the arrest of family patriarch Matt Roloff.

Robin then provided details about the show including that the family has two children that are regular size and two that are dwarfs. If Robin had done "a little" research, she would have found that three of the children are regular size, while one is a little person with achondroplasia.  (8.1.07) -The Wife of LarMcc
