March 2007...

Eric was correct this morning (3.29) when he told Robin this was probably on robinswrong.com:

During the Dancing with the Stars discussion at the start of the show this morning, Howard said he had to call Beth and ask if Joey Fatone was the gay one. Robin said no, that was Lance Bass. Artie then asked if Fatone wasn't a professional dancer and didn't N'Sync dance.

Robin interrupted and said the last guy was from N'Sync and he was great. The "last guy" was actually two seasons ago and Drew Lachey was with 98 degrees, not N'sync.

Season One had Joey Mcintyre who she could have been referring to, but he was from New Kids on the Block.  (3.20.07) -Dora in Philly

During the news, Howard asked Robin who she would rather sleep with: Donald Trump or Vince McMahon, based purely on looks and not on personality. Robin put some thought into her answer before saying “Donald Trump”. Then, she mentioned because Trump has more personality and Howard had to reiterate that the decision was NOT to be based on personality, but only on looks.

Robin acted like she was surprised that this was a new criteria for the question and after rethinking the question again answered Trump. 

Too bad nobody had the clip from Monday's show of Robin chastising Artie for "not listening."  (3.29.07) -Lil’ Chip/robinswrong

In today's news, Robin said that the Post Office was issuing fifteen Star Wars commemorative stamps to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie.

It is actually the 30th anniversary that the Post Office is commemorating.


May the facts be with you.  (3.29.07) -Robin' Veracity.

Noted newswoman Robin Quivers seemed very concerned when talking about the fifteen British “soldiers” that were taken into custody and their boat sized by the Iranian government.

Even though she supposedly served in the military many years ago, you would think she would know that sailors sail sea-going vessels. (3.29.07) –ROBNORMAN3000

During Robin's news she talked about how the U.S. had lost its top spot as the leader in technology to Denmark because of Wi-Fi.

Countries were judged on many different factors, not just access to Wi-Fi. If that had been the only determining factor, the U.S. would own the top spot with more then 26,000 hotspots. But, when it comes to knowing the facts about something, Wi ask Wi?  (3.29.07) -robinswrong

In today's Mike Walker Game, Fred tried to repay Robin for her March 8th tactic of waiting for his choice and then choosing the same answer for an easy victory.

This time, in a rare exercise of poor judgment, Fred made the same choice as Robin had earlier made and they both went down with the ship!

Robin's record in 2007 is now 1 1/2 out of 11 (13.6%) and 4 1/2 out of the last 36 (12.5%).  (3.29.07) -The Amazed Listener
 

During the "news" Robin was quoting an article by TV Guide's Matt Roush about the juggernaut that is American Idol.

Robin stated the American Idol extended last night's results show to overlap with Dancing with the Stars results show.

As almost everyone else knows (due to the amount of time Howard spends discussing the show), last night was the Idol competition and the results show is tonight (Wednesday).  (3.28.07) -D

During the discussion about yesterday’s New York premiere of the first two episodes of the final season of The Sopranos, Robin commented there were eight episodes remaining. (The second time she has said this...see 3.12.07)

Unless Robin has inside information no one else has, including the people at HBO, the network has been promoting the final nine episodes of The Sopranos for its last season.  (3.28.07) -Robin is the BEST!

 

Sal was discussing his accident when he fell off a stage and Gary was asked whether he derived any satisfaction from Sal's injuries. Gary said absolutely not. As a result, Howard was about to explain why he thinks Gary "is the most together guy on the show" and said, "I'm going to pay you a compliment," when Robin interrupted Howard to ask some stupid question, adding nothing to the conversation.

Howard's thought was lost and he didn't come back to it. Thanks Robin, for again ruining an interview.  (3.28.07) -The Amazed Listener

In today's news Robin said that the University of North Carolina Mascot was hit by a car and killed on his way back his hotel after the team had lost their game.

The accident happened on Friday night (3/23), the Tar Heels won the game that night and then lost to Georgetown on Sunday (3/25). The guy who portrayed the mascot died yesterday in the hospital, but how important is time (or facts) in Robin's world?  (3.27.07) -D

When discussing voting for Sanjaya during the news today, Robin referenced to Artie, "It's fun, you ought to get into it."

I'm not sure how she would know that because goodtime Robin did not participate in last weeks vote because the self important newsreader said she forgot.  (3.27.07) -Pegboy

Robin was reporting on the YouTube awards and she said the Chicago band OK Go won for Most Creative with eight of the members performing on treadmills. If she had watched this video, like the rest of America, she would obviously know that there are four members and they were performing on eight treadmills. (3.27.07) -Mike D

Robin said today that 50 Cent's name was getting dragged through the mud because someone in his crew had beaten up a kid for wearing a Czar Entertainment Jacket.

If Robin would read the article, she would find out that it this kid was wearing a Czar t-shirt, not a jacket. She also claims that she had "no idea" why they did this. If she would, again, read the article, she would find out that the owner of Czar was The Game's manger, who he and 50 cent have a very public feud with.  (3.27.07) -Horseface

 

Just before taking the first break of the morning, Howard mentioned that porn star Nicole Sheridan was coming in to play Win Fred's Money.

Robin interrupted and asked, she's playing Fred?

That would be why it's called Win Fred's Money....because you play Fred.  (3.27.07) -robinswrong

Nicole said that she was in a gifted program in school. Robin said sometimes they call the gifted kids the kids on the yellow bus.

Maybe Robin took the "short bus" to school, because that would be the term used for special education students. Almost all school busses are yellow, whether they transport general or special ed students.  (3.27.07) -Burbank Ball Buster
 

Today Howard said that he got a speeding ticket for going 35 MPH in a 30 MPH zone a long time ago. Artie said 65 was the fastest you could drive in the country and then asked why they make cars that go faster than 65. Robin chirped up that "somewhere, Missouri or Montana or some 'M' state" has an 80 MPH speed limit."

According to an article from the L.A. Times, the highest speed limit in the U.S. is 80 MPH in Texas. Not an "M" state, but Robin would probably say that it's close to Mexico, and that starts with an "M". Otherwise, the highest limits are 75 in several states.  (3.27.07) -Burbank Ball Buster

As Howard talked about John and Elizabeth Edwards today, Artie asked how old they were. Robin then chimed in that the couple was “in their 40s.” 

Of course, Robin would have been correct had she been talking about the Edwards years ago, but today John is 53 years old and Elizabeth is 57.  (3.27.07) -Robin is the BEST!
 

This morning Howard talked about Beth being on The View. Howard said Beth told him that the guest hosts are annoying because they try to inject their one question and are forcing themselves......(insert Robin interruption here) "uh, ya and they don't know the timing and all that stuff because they haven't been there," Robin said.

Twenty five years and Robin still doesn't know the timing on The Howard Stern Show. Once again: pot, kettle, kettle, pot.  (3.27.07) -robinswrong

Before Howard played the tape of Riley Martin’s contract negotiation with Tim Sabean, he asked how many times everyone thought Riley would use the n-word during the exchange.

Always ready to prove her vast knowledge, Robin was the only person who responded, and her guess was 50. Unfortunately, Kreskin Quivers was only 50 n-words off because Riley didn’t use the term even once.  (3.27.07) -Robin is the BEST!

 

Right out of the box this morning, Howard played an interview with transsexual wack-packer Siobhan in which he described himself as having been born with a "prolapsed vagina." Then Howard had Siobhan on the phone and Robin immediately chimed in, "you weren't born with a prolapsed uterus" and Siobhan had to correct her.

Was Ms. Quivers born with inverted eardrums?  (3.27.07) -The Amazed Listener.
 

In today's news, Robin mentioned former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski and that "he's in jail for five to ten or something like that...."

Robin, get the sausage out of your hand and read the story. His sentence is 8-25 years.  (3.26.07) -Daddy's Fingers

Today Howard was talking about Elton John's 60th birthday party and stated he wasn't invited.

He then talked about his past experiences with Elton, but noted that he wouldn’t have gone to the party anyway because he was sick.

Of course, Robin's attention deficit disorder then kicked in as she blurted out, "Oh, you were invited?!?"  (3.26.07) -Makinehead

 

Howard talked this morning about Beth being on The View tomorrow. He said they went to dinner with his parents this weekend so that Beth could talk to Howard's father and be prepared for any number of topics.

Artie said how it was strange that any talk show host with an opinion could develop some sort of a following and Howard agreed. He said you just have to have an opinion, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Robin Quivers then interrupted after having just completed her own statistical analysis and said, half the opinions are wrong!

 If only she were so introspective as to accept her own statement!  (3.26.07) -Hellfish.

During the conversation with Dana Reeve's sister, Howard asked whether it is considered "irony" that Dana died shortly after her husband, Christopher. Robin, as per usual, leaped into the conversation and quipped "Yea!", with no hesitation.

Dana's death shortly after her husband is considered little more than coincidence, allowing us to add Robin Quivers name to the list of pseudo-celebrities such as Alanis Morissette who fail to use the word "irony" with any regard to its true meaning.  (3.26.07) -Bad Santa
 

This morning Howard and the crew were talking about the TV show Lost. Howard said he watched every episode of Lost that he hadn't seen this season and what a spectacular waste of time it was. He added that the show has to come up with some answers.

Robin then chimed in saying, "last season it was the other plane and this season it's the Others." However, the new cast members introduced in season two were from the same plane that the main stars were from, just a different section of it that fell elsewhere on the island.

It seems Robin is as lost as the TV show.  (3.26.07) -The Cackler.

Howard started the show this morning talking about how he had a change of season cold.

Artie told Howard he should call in sick more, but Howard said everyone complains about the four day weeks already. He said he knew he was getting sick Friday night, so he went to bed, but it didn't make any difference when he woke up the next day. Howard then complained that it would take two weeks to get over this. Artie suggested that if Howard would take one day of rest, it wouldn't take two weeks for him to recover.

Robin then interrupted and scolded Artie as if he were a child and screeched, "he rested all weekend is what he said Artie, did you not listen?!?"

Robin calling someone out for not paying attention on the show: pot, once again, meet kettle.  (3.26.07) -robinswrong

Robin talked about the Boy Scout who had been missing for four days during her news segment today. Leading in with yet another one of her echo cuts, she played a clip from the boy's father. After the clip, Howard asked if the boy had wandered away. Robin stated that the boy wanted to explore some of the camp area alone, but he didn't know anything about the woods so he was lost within 15 minutes.

Robin then said the father thought his son was going to hitchhike home because some of his friends did not go on the camping trip.

So which is it Robin? The boy got lost exploring the camp area, or he tried to walk home because he was homesick. Obviously, Robin never got her merit badges for journalism or broadcasting.  (3.22.07) -RobinsOverPaid/robinswrong

Today, Robin nearly got through a news story without a mistake. She announced that Woody Harrelson's father died in prison yesterday for the murder of a federal judge in 1979.

So far, so good - until she mentioned that Woody was only seven years old when his dad was sent away for the last time. Anyone who read the AP release will recall that Woody was in college when his father was convicted killing a federal judge. Woody Harrelson, born in 1961, was seven when his father was accused of murdering a Texas businessman.  (3.22.07) -Retarded Flu

On today's show Robin said that American Idol does "Super Bowl type" ratings numbers.

According to Reality TV World , the debut of this American Idol season drew 37.3 million viewers. However, according to a statement by CBS, the 2007 Super Bowl had 93.15 million viewers.

Robin math: 93.15 million = 37.3 million (3.22.07) -HotlantaTC
 

You could almost hear a major sigh of relief from Robin Quivers as Howard announced there would be no Mike Walker game today.

Everyone's favorite gossip columnist is on vacation. Robin's losing streak will continue next week.  (3.22.07) -robinswrong

Howard played clips from Chuck Zito's show and the conversation gravitated to the way one lion dominates the pride and is the only male that gets to mate.

Zoologist Quivers weighed in saying all the other male lions live on the outside of the pride, all the women and that one guy are in the middle. 

Lions and Women and Guys...Oh my!  (3.22.07) -The Amazed Listener.
 

Howard tried playing outtakes from the movie I Heart Huckabees in which Lily Tomlin lost her temper and was cursing up a storm. Throughout the playing of the clips Robin was laughing so loudly you could barely hear the clips.  Here are the outtakes, minus Robin's cackling. (3.22.07) -The Amazed Listener

During the news Howard took a call from someone that wanted to let Robin know that Alan Thicke used to be a jingle writer for commercials and that the apple doesn't fall far the tree (Alan's son Robin is a songwriter as well).

Robin said Beethoven had kids and she didn't think they wrote anything.

It would be extremely difficult for them to have written anything, especially since Beethoven never married and never had any children.  (3.21.07) -JET
 

While talking about Sanjaya on American Idol, Howard commented that they were making the dork the Homecoming King. Robin then had to add that it's "Carrie" all over again.

Carrie was elected Prom Queen, not Homecoming King. That's 0-2 in one comment.  (3.21.07) -Burbank Ball Buster

During the news Robin mentioned that Sylvester Stallone had been arrested for trying to take human growth hormone "to New Zealand or some place."

That some place would be Australia.  (3.20.07) -Soozee
 

Robin said today during her news that tonight (3/20) is the season finale of the show Dirt, when in fact the season finale is next Tuesday (3/27). 

Maybe she just doesn't want to see the last episode where Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox kiss. (3.20.07) -robinsknokrs

 

This morning while discussing how Jon Heder should act in movies, Artie mentioned that "Bench Warmers" was a big hit and it made a lot of money. Robin responded and told Artie that he was dreaming.

Several minutes later Howard read off that "Bench Warmers" made $57 million - (actually it made almost $65 million worldwide).

Since when is $57 million not "a lot of money"? Even for Queen Robin!  (3.20.07) -Hellfish

During the Dancing with the Stars discussion at the start of the show this morning, Howard said he had to call Beth and ask if Joey Fatone was the gay one. Robin said no, that was Lance Bass. Artie then asked if Fatone wasn't a professional dancer and didn't N'Sync dance.

Robin interrupted and said the last guy was from N'Sync and he was great. The "last guy" was actually two seasons ago and Drew Lachey was with 98 degrees, not N'sync.

Season One had Joey Mcintyre who she could have been referring to, but he was from New Kids on the Block.  (3.20.07) -Dora in Philly

Today while doing the news, Robin was wrong once again. She mentioned the three divers that died inside the Spiegel Grove. She went on to say, you know how these guys are always looking for treasure. Actually, divers don't go down to look for treasure on a shipwreck because the treasure would go to the person who registered the wreck.

Divers visit shipwrecks for many reasons, but treasure hunting is not one of them. The ship the men perished in, the USS Spiegel Grove, was sunk to create an artificial reef and give recreational divers a place to explore.  (3.19.07) -Aquatic Ventures: Hollywood, FL

Howard mentioned today that he thinks Peter O'Toole is a great actor, to which Movie Critic Robin Quivers responded, "no he's not!"

For Robin's information, Mr. O'Toole has been nominated for 8 Oscars and was awarded an honorary Oscar in 2003 for his body of work. He also has received three Golden Globe awards and an Emmy award. By any measure, Peter O'Toole is a great actor.

By contrast, Robin displays absolutely no discernable talent in any area except, perhaps, her Razzie-Award-worthy ability to interrupt other peoples' comments, repeat other peoples' statements, laugh at anything and everything regardless of whether it is funny, make numerous mistakes reported on robinswrong.com and who can forget, sings off-key!  (3.19.07) -The Amazed Listener

Robin Quivers winning streak of one was broken today while playing the Mike Walker game.

For those keeping score at home, here are her latest and most up to date stats:

In 2007:  1 1/2 out of 10 (15%) and 4 1/2 out of the last 35 (12.8%).  (3.15.07) -robinswrong
 

Today Artie was ranting about how artists should not buckle and appear on kid award shows and should stay edgy. Howard mentioned The Rolling Stones as a group that would say no to things. Artie agreed and said The Stones wouldn't go to the Grammys.

Robin then interrupted and said even if they did do The Ed Sullivan show and were told to censor their music, they said it anyway once they got out there.

In fact, one of the groups who would not censor their music was The Doors. The Rolling Stones actually changed the words to "Let's Spend the Night Together" to "Let's Spend Some Time Together" in order to appease Ed Sullivan. So, the weenie factor for the Stones lives on.  (3.15.07) -DJ Rockin Rich

  / 

While wrapping up the interview with comedian Greg Fitzsimmons, Howard tried to give Greg's web site a plug.

Greg had to correct Howard saying part of the plug was a forward slash ( / ) not a backward slash ( \ ). Howard seemed kind of confused stating he thought it was usually backward slash for URL's.

Robin Quivers dutifully straightened out the situation by stating with conviction that "They" had simply renamed the backward slash to forward slash. 

Thanks Ms. Quivers, I learn something new every day while listening to you speak.  (3.15.07) -ROBNORMAN3000

Howard took a call from someone today who referred to himself as Pinworm Paul. The call got boring so Howard hung up on Paul, but the discussion of pinworms continued.

Greg Fitzsimmons and Howard told stories about their experiences with pinworms; Greg with his child and Howard when he was younger.

Robin, feeling left out of the conversation, had to chime in and say that she once had a dog that had pinworms and you could see it in the doodie.

Robin Quivers didn't know it that day, but she made quite a scientific discovery, or as usual she was wrong. Dogs don't get pinworms.  (3.15.07) -chris/robinswrong

Richard Christy was in the studio while one of his phony phone calls to a public access TV show was being played. During the call, Richard, playing the part of "Nervous Mark", would keep on saying "uh uh uh" running the clock and frustrating the hosts. Richard reported that eventually they started finishing his sentences.

To this, Robin erupted with gales of laughter. The Amazed Listener can only speculate that Robin thinks the audience of the Howard Stern Show is equally amused every time Robin interrupts Howard in the middle of a sentence to interject one of her brilliant comments.  (3.15.07) -The Amazed Listener
 

During a conversation with Eric the Midget, there was a question about the Diana Ross appearance on American Idol last night.

Artie asked what song Ross performed and Robin interrupted to say it was a new song she'd guess.

When Eric told her she actually performed the Motown classic, "More Today Than Yesterday", Robin said that she didn't see the show and just assumed it was a new song.

In her defense, when has not knowing what she was talking about every stopped Robin Quivers?  (3.15.07) -r

more...

Howard then played a clip of Ross singing last night and thought now it didn't sound so bad. Fred thought the band was too loud, but that she was doing an ok job with it. Robin said Ross's voice has changed and that she had sang that song before, earlier in her life.  Well, not according to her discography.  "More Today Than Yesterday" was released by Spiral Staircase in 1969. Ross just recorded it for her new CD, I Love You, released last year.

Robin needs to release the song as "More Mistakes Today Than Yesterday." (3.15.07) -SerenadeMyMeat/robinswrong
 

This morning, the gang was discussing people who become attached to famous people to help their careers. Artie cited Jenny McCarthy as an example of this phenomenon, alleging that Ms. McCarthy is involved with Jim Carrey because he is famous and the association will help her career.

Robin interrupted and screeched that McCarthy is getting endorsement deals again...she's working.

Robin would have been better off to just let Artie make his incorrect statement, but she had to throw in her two cents. According to imdb.com, Jenny McCarthy has been quite busy in show business since well before her involvement with Jim Carrey.  (3.14.07) -The Amazed Listener

Chris Rock was on Howard today to promote his new movie, I Think I Love My Wife.

During the interview Robin asked Chris if he had two kids. Chris said he did and they were two and four.

Fourteen minutes later Howard asked Chris if he thought his marriage was going to make it. Robin interrupted and said, how old are they kids cause (sic) I'll tell you how long you are going to make it.  (3.14.07) -Burbank Ball Buster

Artie mentioned on the show this morning that he loved whenever he would hear that John F. Kennedy, Jr. failed the bar exam.

Robin interrupted and said JFK, Jr. went to the public defenders office and imagine you get the guy that failed three times.

JFK, Jr. went to work as a New York City assistant district attorney after he passed the bar on his third try. (3.14.07) -Suitless in New York

Robin mentioned during her news that Joanne Carson was selling some old Johnny Carson shows on DVD.

Howard asked how she came into possession of the tapes and Robin stated matter-of-factly that Joanne got them in the divorce.

That isn't exactly the romantic scenario in which Joanne Carson came into possession of the items. She was given copies by Johnny on her birthday, Christmas and Valentine's Day.  (3.13.07) -Gary

Today during the news, Robin said that President Bush was continuing his tour of South America, then proceeded to say that he was in Guatemala.

Guatemala is in Central America.

Where in the world is Robin Sandiego?  (3.13.07) -Bostonbean. 

Jackie the Joke Man returned to the show today and started busting on Gary and his teeth just like the good ole days.

Towards the end of his segment, Gary said another reason he was pissed off at Jackie was because every sketch they did, they made him wear a monkey outfit. Jackie said a lot of times it was Fred's idea. Howard said his parents would get mad when they put Gary in the monkey outfit because they didn't think that it was nice.

Robin then felt the need to repeat everything and said no matter what the sketch was, Gary wound up in a gorilla outfit or a monkey head.

Fred the Martian, Jackie the Joke Man, Gary the Monkey......Robin the Parrot. (3.13.07) -Robinswrong

Today Howard talked about the health issues Regis Philbin is having. He said at 75 you should go enjoy life.

Robin interrupted and said that unless you are Bob Barker, because he hasn't had a problem doing anything and has been able to stay on The Price is Right without having to undergo surgery.

Let's check Barker's medical chart Nurse Quivers:

1991: Mild Stroke
1999: Surgery to remove a blocked artery
2002: Stroke
2002: Prostate Surgery
2005: Skin Cancer

Nope,  no surgery or problems here. Move along.  (3.13.07) -Robinswrong

Howard talked again this morning about the web site galacticawatercooler.com and who would win in the battle of Star Trek vs. Galtactica. Jason (Kaplan I believe it was) came in to argue that Star Trek would win easily and gave various reasons why.

Robin said they were talking the battle of the two ships at their peak. She then said the Enterprise gets destroyed every movie.

There have been ten Star Trek movies and the Enterprise was destroyed in two of them: The Search for Spock and Generations.

Robin math: 20% = 100% (3.13.07) -Willowglen/Robinswrong

Today, Robin referred to former Senator Fred Thompson as a former actor as well when talking about his potential run for President.

Perhaps Robin has not watched TV for the last five years as Fred Thompson has been a regular on Law & Order and according to IMDB, has appeared in 109 episodes from 2002-2007.  (3.12.07) -Hugh Blowmont

On today's news, Robin identified the US Attorney General as "Albert Gonzalez", which would come as a surprise to his parents who named him "Alberto."  (3.12.07) -The Amazed Listener

Robin covered the Richard Jeni suicide story during her news and reported his age as 45. 

While numerous news sources are reporting his age as 45, a quick check of Richardjeni.com reveals that he was 49.  (3.12.07) -Haydee/robinswrong

During today's news, Robin remained unsure of how much earlier than usual the daylight savings time change occurred this year. First she said "two weeks" then "two or three weeks." As reported last week on robinswrong.com, by Shutthe F. Uprobin, the correct answer is "three weeks."

I was hoping Robin wouldn't change her clock for another week and would show up late for work all week, thereby sparing us from her scary talents for the first hour of the show!  (3.12.07) -The Amazed Listener
 

Artie said this morning he heard they shot the last episode of The Sopranos and how he is dying to see how the show ends.

Robin authoritatively stated there were only eight more episodes. Too bad Robin is going to miss an episode because HBO is promoting "The Final Nine". (3.12.07) -lilbuddy67

While discussing Richard Jeni's career, Robin twice referred to his appearance in the Jim Carrey film, "Mask." 

It surprised me that Robin, an incredibly talented journalist dedicated to accuracy, believes that Richard Jeni shared the screen with Eric Stoltz and Cher in the 1985 film "Mask" rather than the 1994 comedy, "The Mask."  (3.12.07) -Bad Santa

Just before the weigh in for Battle of the Blobs, Ralph called in to discuss Eric the Midget’s “mobster” voicemail concerning Jerry.

Ralph laughed at how long it took Eric to explain who this guy Jerry was, the replay and the school. Artie then asked if the guy had called the show and not the replay.

Robin, in her infinite wisdom, stated that Jerry must have called in on the replay as well. As most would know, one cannot call in on a replay.  (3.12.07) -BostonRebel

Today in the news, the group was discussing Katie Couric's abysmal ratings.  Robin chimed in that CBS should have tried to get Bob Gibson for the job.

I'm from St. Louis, it would be cool to see the legendary Cardinals pitcher as the new host for the CBS evening news.   Did you know in 1968, Gibson posted a 1.12 ERA?  (3.8.07) -Tomba65

During Robin's news today Howard said that Rolling Stone had The Fallout Boys on the cover as the hottest band in America, but he didn't know any of their songs.

Robin Quivers immediately chimed in and said she loved "The Fallout Boys."

She doesn't know the name of the band is Fall Out Boy and she didn't know the lyrics to one of their songs when she tried to quote it on the January 29th, 2007 show.  Wow!  Robin really loves this band! (3.8.07)

This was the most submitted item of the week by far. Thanks to everyone that sent this to me. -robinswrong

Robin found a new way to win the Mike Walker game today - just wait to see which story frequent winner Fred Norris chooses, then ride on his coattails.

With nary a comment or explanation of rationale, other than that Fred had chosen story number four, Robin chose the same story and shared the victory with Fred.

In all fairness, it would be too generous to award Robin more than a 1/2 win today, so her record for the year is 1 1/2 out of 9 (16.667%) and 4 1/2 out of the last 34 games (13.2%) (3.8.07) -The Amazed Listener

During Robin's news this morning, she mentioned a story about O.J. Simpson saying he slept with Anna Nicole Smith.  Howard asked if that could be true and Robin said Simpson and Smith were in Naked Gun 2 together.

First off, the name of the movie was Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, and they were not even in that movie together. They appeared in the third movie titled Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult.  (3.7.07) -LanceJr


 

Robin started her news today saying that the Daily News had put together the list of the top 50 albums of all time.  Once again, like the coffee taste test story on February 5, 2007, Robin thinks that if it is in the Daily News, it was done by the Daily News.

The National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame put the list together of 200 albums they believe everyone should own.  (3.7.07) -GayRich in Baltimore

Howard tried to give Artie some advice on eating better on the show this morning. Howard mentioned that he ate several cashews a day and Robin suggested that almonds might be better for Artie.

Artie mentioned that he gets his nuts in a Snickers Bar, Robin then jumped in and said if you put them in a Mounds Bar, he'll eat the almonds. Mounds has no almonds, Almond Joy does.  (3.7.07) -EvanWilson

After Lisa G was on this morning, Howard said he was going to play a new phony phone call Richard did using audio from an Ed McMahon book.

Robin interrupted and said, "Ed McMahon is 84 I think, today!"

What Robin should have said was happy belated birthday since Ed turned 84 yesterday.  (3.7.07) -G

No, this isn't a huge mistake by any means, but it was a great excuse to post a picture of Kimberly Caldwell. :) -robinswrong

Before Howard brought former American Idol contestants Justin Guarini and Kimberly Caldwell into the studio, Howard said he believed Justin was on the first season. Robin the Idol Expert then interrupted and said Kimberly was as well.

Once Kimberly came in the studio she corrected Robin and stated she was on season two.  (3.6.07) -nervous carrot

Robin reported during her news today (not once, but twice) that daylight saving time is being instituted two weeks earlier than usual.

Everyone else will be setting their clocks forward this Sunday, March 11th....three weeks earlier than usual. (3.5.07) -Shutthe F. Uprobin

In the understatement of the year, Robin reported that "a couple of people were fired" as a result of the scandal involving aftercare of wounded veterans at Walter Reed Hospital. I guess the Major General in charge of the hospital and the Secretary of the Army are technically "a couple of people" but the impact of the news was definitely lost in the translation.  (3.5.07) -The Amazed Listener
 

During Robin's news today Howard said the show Heroes was going to be off the air for six weeks to record more shows.  Howard then pointed out that Dancing with the Stars was going to be going up against Heroes.  He said the producers of Heroes were worried that their ratings would take a big hit.

Robin then pointed out that this wouldn't be a problem at all because the two shows are on the same network, therefore they can't go up against each other. 

Heroes is on NBC. Dancing with the Stars is on ABC. Robin Quivers.....stupidity.  (3.5.07) -Leslie/Robinswrong

During a discussion of Rudy Giuliani today, Robin said what a mess he had made of his personal life. George Takei started to make a point and Robin interrupted and said Takei was "arguing to the choir". Most people know the saying as, preaching to the choir.

Just after that, Howard began to explain some clips he was going to play from the Tyra Banks show. Robin then exclaimed, "she (Tyra) says the stupidest things with such conviction it's amazing!!"  (3.5.07) -Gary/Dznyfan

Scott the Engineer identified a performance of Rhythm Divine by Enrique Iglesias as another on his list of worst musical performances. Howard played the clip and musical critic Quivers chimed in: "You notice he got out of the music business."

Apparently, Robin wasn't aware of the completion of a successful tour by Mr. Iglesias in December, 2006.  (3.5.07) -The Amazed Listener

Howard this morning covered Scott the Engineer's list of the worst in studio musical performances. The first Howard mentioned was former Guns N' Roses member Duff McKagan.

Music expert Robin Quivers interrupted and said Duff was now in Velvet Underground.

I never thought what it would be like to hear Lou Reed play with Duff McKagan. And someone might want to tell Robin that Duff is in the band Velvet Revolver, not Velvet Underground.  (3.5.07) -lilbuddy67

During today's news, Robin described the person (Richard Milstein) who has custody of Anna Nicole Smith's body as the "attorney ad litem."

Of course, our favorite newshound and resident legal authority must have meant to say "guardian ad litem", who does not necessarily have to be a lawyer. Mr. Milstein has been given responsibility for the body based upon his role as the guardian of Dannielynn.  (3.1.07) -The Amazed Listener

At the start of Robin's news Artie mentioned an article in Esquire about a soldier that misses Iraq. Robin said how the guys don't go out and fight for the country, but for the guy next to them. She said that they forge them together, it's a “more perfect world then we live in here".

“Perfect” is a superlative, which cannot be modified with words such as more or less. One is either perfect, or one is not.

Any guesses as to which side of perfect Robin believes she stands?  (3.1.07) -Grammar Police  .....btw, Robin said "then" not robinswrong.com. She also ended the sentence with a preposition...-robinswrong

Robin started off her news segment today talking about an Afghan cleric who was beheaded for being a U.S. spy. She said they don't fool around with tribunals or "deternment (sic) camps".

Internment + Deter = Deternment, I think Robin just invented a new word. (3.1.07) -COMMANDER ROBOT/Robinswrong

Robin lost the Mike Walker game again today.

That now makes her record 1-8 in 2007 and 4 wins out of the last 33 games, a winning percentage of 12.12%.

Robin "Titanic" Quivers strikes again! Play the Mike Walker game here.  (3.1.07) -The Amazed Listener

While the inventor of Sirius was on the show today, Robin said, now one question for Siobhan.

The only problem is Siobhan wasn't in the studio, nor did he invent Sirius. Martine Rothblatt did.  Nobody else in the studio either caught what Robin said, or had the gumption to correct her.

Fans of this site noticed it and thanks to everyone that sent this in today. 

*Update* - A few people have emailed and believe that Robin was asking the question on behalf of Siobhan. Robin asked if Martine's reception changed in boardrooms and offices once he changed his sex.  I'm not sure when Siobhan will be pitching ideas in any boardrooms, so I don't think she could have been asking on her behalf. Also, the question would really only be relevant if Siobhan hadn't already had the surgery to give her an idea how someone is treated afterwards. (3.1.07) -Robinswrong
 

On today's show, Howard had as a guest the satellite engineer Martine Rothblatt who figured out how to position satellites to facilitate creation of satellite radio. Howard explained that the satellites were positioned to travel in a figure 8 pattern. Martine said that was so the signal could come down over trees and buildings that would otherwise block the signal.

At that point, Robin chimed in: "Ah, that's why that happens" as if she understands the technicalities. Don't worry Robin, you're not fooling anyone.  (3.1.07) -The Amazed Listener

 

During this morning's discussion of Mel's appearance before congress, the mention of competition between media types brought up the iPod.  Robin said that the satellite industry is an FCC regulated thing, but iPods are not regulated by anybody. 

Many, if not all, electronic devices including the iPod must comply with Part 15 of FCC rules regarding radio and television interference. See page 61 for the statement of compliance with FCC rules. As usual, iRobin is iWrong!  (3.1.07) -Jackie'sRibFinger
