Jessica Hahn called in this morning and asked to be put on hold so she
could listen to the show. She said (twice) that she was in a
blackout and couldn't listen any other way. The conversation then
turned into a battle between Hahn and Will Murray over the way she
supposedly treated interns on the phone.
During the middle of the conversation Robin interrupted and said Jessica
just wanted to listen to the show because she was in a blackout.
Jessica then said she was walking around in the dark and Robin asked, is
the power out? The fact that Jessica had no power was mentioned
three times during the conversation (once by Robin). It seems that
Jessica Hahn isn't the only one walking around in the dark.

Towards the end of the news today, Robin the psychic stated that the
Academy Awards were announced yesterday. Too bad us regular
folks (hangers on) were only privy to the Academy Award nominations.

Newswoman Robin asked Howard, what is the most popular breed of dog?
Presumably, since she was doing a
story on this
subject, she knew the answer.
Howard correctly answered "Labrador Retriever." Robin replied "actually
it's the Golden Retriever." A few seconds later, Robin corrected herself
& agreed that the correct answer is Labrador Retriever. (1.24.07)

During Robin's news she had a story about the President's State of the
Union address last night.
She mentioned how Presidents always start off their speech with "The
State of the Union is Strong",
but failed to say that Bush saved that comment for the
last sentence of the speech. (1.24.07)

 The
subject of the Rules of Engagement for troops in Iraq was discussed
on the show today. Robin incorrectly stated that U.S. troops that
"shoot first" would be prosecuted "for murder". This is complete
and utter nonsense. First of all, U.S. troops have the right to
shoot at anyone that "poses a threat". This includes insurgents
carrying weapons, maneuvering against U.S. forces, or even digging a
hole for IED's. Even if troops think that somebody looks like they
might be a suicide or vehicle bomber, they may shoot them.
I know this because I am a Marine and I fought in Iraq. Robin's
short tour in the Air Force 150 years ago doesn't qualify her as a
military expert. (1.24.07)

Eric the midget called in this morning to boast about how popular he is
among Stern Fans. While on the phone he received an AOL Instant Message
and Robin in her technological supremacy pointed out that he received an
e-mail.
No Robin, that sound wasn't an e-mail, it was an IM. (1.24.07)

This morning Howard took a call from Curtis in
Saskatoon, Canada. After he
said where Curtis was calling from, Robin interrupted and tried to
correct Howard asking incredulously, Saskatoon??? Or is that
Saskatchewan??
Fred then stepped in and informed Robin that there is a city in Canada
named Saskatoon. (1.24.07)

Did you have a trip planned to Canada and Mexico that you canceled
today after hearing Robin Quivers report that you now have to have a
passport to travel to these countries? Well pack up the family and
hit the road because you only have to have a passport to enter those
countries if you are flying.
People going by land and sea don't have to have a passport until
January 1, 2008. (1.23.07)
-Robinswrong/Robin's Wrong A Lot
 During
the news this morning Robin talked about a story involving a diver who
escaped from a great white shark attack. She said the 26 year old
diver fought his way free. The only problem with this story is the
diver,
Eric
Nerhus is 41. His 25 year old son helped him back aboard the
boat after the attack.
So who is the mystery 26 year old who was supposedly attacked by a shark
in this story?? (1.23.07)
-Robinswrong/BillG from NJ
Robin talked again today about the Michael Vick story. She said
that Vick was going thru the airport and discarded a bottle that got
picked up and found to have a secret compartment.
If she would have taken the time to
read the news, she would have realized that the bottle was not
casually discarded, but seized as he tried to take it through airport
security. (1.23.07)

Howard was talking today about Beetlejuice and why he was so down and
depressed during his appearance on the show. Robin then
emphatically said that today was the saddest day of the year.
Robin might been even more sad when she discovers that yesterday was
actually the
saddest day of the year. (1.23.07)
-Robinswrong/GR
When discussing a recent appearance by Tim Stack (of "Son of the Beach"
fame) in an episode of "My Name Is Earl" on NBC, Robin said that Tim was
playing his "Son of the Beach" character (Notch Johnson), but Tim was
actually playing himself (and thus was playing an actor who used to
appear on "Son of the Beach").
It appears that Robin can't distinguish between actors and the
characters they play on TV. I wonder if this was problem for her when
filming "Private Parts" with Howard? (1.23.07)
-Rusty from Boston
This morning, Howard played a tape of Gilbert Gottfried imitating a
cantor. Howard said that it sounds just like a cantor, except he's not
singing real words.
Robin immediately chimed in that Gilbert wasn't singing real words. What
a genius! How about giving Robin a quiz in which she shows her knowledge
of Hebrew? (1.23.07)
-The Amazed Listener
On today's news, Robin stated that Hillary could choose Bill Clinton as
her Vice Presidential running mate and that he could even run for
President again. In contrast to Robin's lack of knowledge of
Constitutional law, it seems everyone listening to the show today knew
former President Bill Clinton could not be Vice President or President
again since I heard from so many of you. Thanks to everyone that
submitted this.
Amendment XII-
Choosing the President, Vice-President. Ratified 6/15/1804
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President
shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States."
Amendment XXII -
Presidential Term Limits. Ratified 2/27/1951
1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than
twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as
President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person
was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President
more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding
the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress,
and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of
President, or acting as President, during the term within which this
Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting
as President during the remainder of such term. (1.22.07) (more

This morning during the news, Robin reported that child kidnapper,
Michael Devlin, who was caught recently was playing an online game
called Final Fantasy 9.
He was actually playing Final Fantasy XI. I guess her
intellect is a little slow after a
long weekend, in
Roman
numerals XI is 11 not 9.

 Today,
the gang was pretending that Oprah had bought the film rights to the
story involving the recently rescued kidnapped Missouri boy.
Howard began listing several current actors, including Haley Joel Osment
and Jamie Foxx. Artie mentioned Forrest Whitaker to play the part of
Oprah. Robin then suggested
Sir John Gielgud as
psychic Sylvia Browne.
Too bad Sir John died in May 2000. (1.22.07)

During Robin's news this morning she claimed that Art Buchwald was
syndicated in "500 newspapers."
The correct answer: 300.

 On
the show today, Howard asked about the Patriots game and wanted to know
if a lot of people turned off the game when it was 21-6. Robin the
genius said "If you know Peyton Manning you wouldn't do that"
Actually Peyton Manning has a track record of blowing it in big games
and until now he has never won a game like this. In college he was
destroyed by Florida including a four interception first quarter his
senior year. In the playoffs against the Patriots he had not scored a
touchdown in two and a half games. This game was a defining moment in
his career and unlike Robin's statement he had never done anything like
this before. So Robin is once again wrong and trying to be smart after
the fact. And yes, we know about the game against Tampa Bay.
(1.22.07)
-Peach Optimo
During Lisa G's segment on the show today, she mentioned a story about
Artie yelling at his assistant if his Starbucks order isn't warm.
Robin then chimed in that Artie was like that, "Waiting for Sharks guy."
What she meant to reference was the 1994 movie,
Swimming with Sharks.
I think Waiting for Sharks was the original title of Jaws.
(1.22.07)
-Robinswrong/HW
 During
the news today, Howard and the gang talking about the Iraq war and
comparing it to Afghanistan. Robin, in her infinite wisdom, said that we
should have been concentrating our efforts on wiping out the Taliban
instead of fighting in Iraq because it was the Taliban that caused 9-11.
Whoa! Robin, I would hope that someone like yourself who lives and works
in New York City and who passes herself off as some sort of national
security expert would know that
Al-Qaeda was responsible for the horrors
of 9-11, not the Taliban. They are two distinct groups that share
similar ideologies but it was Al-Qaeda that caused 9-11. (1.18.07)

 Today,
during the news, which apparently only requires Robin to read articles
out of the Daily News, Robin said the Barrack Obama has decided to enter
the Presidential race. Wrong,
Obama has formed an
exploratory committee, which is quite different from declaring.
Obama is going announce on February 10th if he is going to run for
President. (1.18.07)

No real surprise here, Robin Quivers lost the gossip
game again today, fell five games behind the blindfolded deaf monkey and
made Artie's football pool record look even better.
That's 0-3 in 2007, 12 out of the last 13 and 25 out of the last 28. (1.18.07)

 Robin
Quivers again incorrectly referred to NASA's
Kennedy
Space Center as the Kennedy Space Flight Center. She has made this
mistake repeatedly in the days leading up to and since the crew's trip
to Florida for Bubba's wedding.
Some NASA field centers are referred to as "Space Flight" centers, such
as Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama and Goddard Space Flight
Center in Maryland. However, the two most well known NASA
sites--Johnson in Houston and Kennedy in Florida--are just called Space
Centers. (1.18.07)

When the subject of Joe Frazier’s age came up on the show today, Robin
was trying to think of a good guess, but she did not say any number
until Howard revealed that Frazier is 63.
Instantly, Robin shrieked, “I was gonna [sic] guess that!”
I guess Howard just didn’t give the genius Quivers enough time to put in
her two cents. (1.18.07)

During the Joe Frazier interview Howard asked Joe what he had stolen.
He said hubcaps, tires and gasoline. Howard said, you stole

This morning, the gang was discussing the AVN awards ceremony where J.D.
accompanied porno star Kimberly Kane. One nominated movie was "The Sex
Whisperer."
Robin Quivers chimed in that "The Sex Whisperer" was the only porno
movie nominated that was based on a current film ("The Horse
Whisperer").
Robin is obviously caught in a mental time warp because
The Horse
Whisperer was released nine years ago. (1.18.07)
-The Amazed Listener
 Robin
talked again today about soccer star David Beckham and his move to play
in the United States. She pondered how it would be for Beckham to
play in front of only 25,000 people.
Then Robin said in Europe, they have soccer stadiums so large they hold
100,000. Maybe if people are sitting on top of each other.
Check out the list of the
top 75 soccer
stadiums. (1.17.07)

In the news segment today, Robin Quivers talked about Rachael Ray and
her TV show being renewed for two more years. Robin mentioned Ray's
'catchphrase' as EVO. (and she even spelled it that way)
Ray's catchphrase is
EVOO, standing for
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. (1.17.07)

Steve Langford gave a news update today, and used the word
indefatigable, which he pronounced correctly. Howard asked if that
was how it was pronounced (in-dih-FAT-ih-guh-bul),
as he thought it was in-de-fatigue-able.
Robin Quivers immediately replied, “no, it’s in-de-faggot-able”, which
judging by that pronunciation, Artie thought was a great word.
Maybe Robin should spend more time reading the dictionary and less time
interrupting. (1.17.07)
-Fumunda
Howard played clips of ultimate ass-kiss Ryan Seacrest and Brad Pitt on
today's show. Pitt made reference to "universalities" in
commenting on his new movie Babel.
Robin Quivers laughed and said that she didn't think there was such a
word as "universalities."
Sorry, Robin Ophelia, check
dictionary.com, it's a real word. (1.17.07)
-Quiet Quivers
At the start of the show this morning, Howard talked about the first
episode of the new American Idol. He mentioned how Paula Abdul
looks like she is waking up from a coma.
Robin then interrupted and said, nothing Paula says makes any sense. She opens her mouth and words come out, but they don't make any sense.
Robin Quivers accusing someone of talking and not making any sense? Pot meet kettle. (1.17.07)
-Robinswrong
During the discussion of American Idol this morning, Howard mentioned
how the winner ends up being huge. He then said how big of a country
star Carrie Underwood
is right now.
Robin interrupted to share with us her country music knowledge saying
Underwood was the CMA Entertainer of the Year.
Well Robin that's close, but not correct. Underwood was the
CMA Female Vocalist of the Year and Kenny Chesney was the
Entertainer of the Year. (1.17.07)

 Robin
Quivers exhibited her great knowledge of sports today. The gang
was discussing the British soccer player who had just signed a
$250,000,000 five year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Robin identified him as "David Beckwith." The Galaxy is eager to
use that name on his paychecks since none of them would ever clear the
bank! His name is "David
Beckham" or Mr. Posh Spice! (1.16.07)

Poor Howard made a mistake in front of the phonics queen, Robin Quivers,
and mispronounced Bjorn Borg's name. He said " Be - yon".
Robin Quivers quickly said, in a condescending way: "Be - yon Borg? It's Byon"
Sorry Robin but is Bjorn, like be-yorn. (1.16.07)

On the show this morning Howard interviewed
Tricia Helfer from
Battlestar Galactica. Robin Quivers interrupted and asked, where
do they shoot Battlestar, in Los Angeles? Tricia said no, it's
shot in Vancouver.
Clueless Quivers then responded, I figured it was a Canadian
situation.
Then why did you ask if it was shot in Los Angeles if you figured it was
done in Canada? Nice try Robin. (1.16.07)

*** The King of All Vacations is off Friday,

Robin Quivers lost the gossip game again today.
That's 0-2 for 2007, 11 out of the last 12 and 24 out of the last 27.
Since a blindfolded and deaf monkey would win at least 1 out of every 4
times, Robin is now 4 games behind the monkey! (1.11.07)

 Howard
was discussing a show in which the host said that Howard makes too much
money.
Robin commented: "What's too much?"
Answer: If Robin makes more than $1.00 per year for displaying her scary
talent, that's too much!! (1.11.07)

 This morning, Howard mentioned a song they'd just
heard in which Pete Townshend of The Who had written the intro only on
the black keys of a piano.
Staff musician Robin Quivers commented: "It doesn't sound
like it."
Based upon the skill with which Robin sang Sheryl Crow's song
"If It Makes You Happy," perhaps she should refrain from commenting on
musical matters! (1.11.07)

*** The King of All Vacations is off Friday,

Robin Quivers started off 2007 with a bang losing the first gossip game

lost ten of the last eleven and 23 of the last 26 gossip games.

Before Dennis Rodman was on the show this morning, Howard mentioned that
Rodman was playing in a game against the Harlem Globetrotters.
Artie said it reminded him of the Simpson's episode where Moe bet all
his money on the Washington Generals because he thought they were due to
win. Robin Quivers interrupted and voiced her agreement
screeching, RIGHT!
Robin so intent on trying to look like she knows everything, agreed with
something Artie said that was totally wrong. A bet on the
Globetrotters was referenced in Simpson's episode
2F12, Homer the Clown,
but it was Krusty the Clown that placed the bet, not Moe the bartender. (1.4.07)

Robin Quivers strikes again! The gang was discussing Oprah
Winfrey's generosity in spending $40,000,000 to construct a school in
Africa. Apparently the school only has room for 150 students and there
were 3,500 applicants for those 150 places. Robin chimed in that
the $40,000,000 could have been spent educating all 3,500 applicants.
The Amazed Listener points out that there wouldn't be a school
without the $40,000,000 having been spent building it. Thus, there
would be no place to educate the 3,500 applicants. Also, after the
3,500 applicants were educated, would Oprah have to give another
$40,000,000 for the next group of applicants.
The Amazed Listener suspects a carbon monoxide leak in the engines of
Robin's yacht that may have resulted in severe brain damage!

Howard started off the show this morning complaining about how he lost
in chess to someone that he usually beats. Then he said the guy
was pretty much rubbing it in after the victory.
Robin Quivers then interrupted and said, remember how people used to
spike the ball in football when they beat the other people down the
field? Artie tried to correct Robin and say that people still
spike the ball after a touchdown. Robin said, they still do it,
but now they get fined for it.
I guess Robin hasn't watched and NFL game in a while or read a rule
book, because while a player can be fined and a team penalized for
excessive celebration
(leaving their feet or using a prop), they do not get fined for spiking
the football. (1.3.07)
-Robinswrong
 Howard
mentioned that a particular song, the name of which he couldn't remember
had a sampling of B.B. King that brought him to tears every time he
heard it. He couldn't remember the artist, either.
Robin Quivers chimed in that the artist was the Pet Shop Boys.
Howard disagreed, indicating that he wouldn't like any group with the
word "Boys" in their name. Fred revealed that the group's name is
Primitive Radio Gods to which Robin chimed in "That's Right."
If you really knew, Robin, why did you guess Pet Shop Boys?
Obviously, you didn't make the New Year's Resolution we all hoped you'd
make: to just shut up. (1.2.07)

 This
morning, the gang returned for their first live show since before
Christmas. The results of the football pool were announced - Crazy
Alice, Big Foot and Elliot Offen tied with seven wins each and will
split the $25,000 prize equally.
Artie's record was announced as four wins, thirteen losses and Robin
Quivers laughed uproariously.
Perhaps, the owner of a three wins and 22 losses record in the Mike
Walker game should keep a lower profile and just shut up about Artie's
pathetic performance, which as pathetic as it is, is twice as good as
Robin's (23.5% vs. 12%). (1.2.07)

At
the end of the segment when the gang was teasing JD with Hawaiian music
Robin said, Fred you spell Hukilau, H-U-K-E-L-A-U, I have it right here.
Another
day and another incorrect movie title from Robin Quivers. Howard
said Beth went out to the premiere of the new
Today
Howard and Robin were debating who the greatest musician ever would be
and she mentioned Mozart. While I agree with her statement that he was
an extraordinary musical genius, she did have one fact wrong.
Lisa
G reported that today is the 12th anniversary of then Governor Christie
Whitman naming a rest stop for Howard. Robin asked Howard where it was
on the Garden State Parkway since she travels it a lot. The rest stop
was on Interstate 295 in Burlington County, but is now closed.
(1.30.07)
On
the show today while Howard was discussing chess, Robin made reference
to the alleged movie "Looking for Bobby Fischer." 
This
morning, Howard played a clip of Miss Alabama singing in the Miss
America Pageant. Music critic Robin exclaimed, she has kind of a weak
voice!
On
the show today, Howard and the gang were throwing around names to have
for the next celebrity roast. Howard suggested Simon Cowell and
Robin blurted out, he hasn't been on the show in a couple of years!
Cowell was last on the show
Howard
talked this morning about how he could never be an organ donor because
he is afraid of feeling pain after he dies. Robin interrupted and
said Howard wouldn't even donate a kidney. She then went on to say
she had just read a story about a minister that donated a kidney to
another minister, who he didn't even know.
