During the news today Howard played a clip of
Matt Lauer talking about his newborn son and how he and his wife
named him Thijs (pronounced Tice), which is a Dutch name. Matt even
spelled it out T H I J S.
Ten seconds later, Robin Quivers spelled it out but she must not have
done very well with her ABC's since she spelled the kids name T H I G S.
She did it not once but twice. Wrong again Ophelia. (11-30)

Robin Quivers should really stop playing the
Mike Walker
Gossip Game. She tied her longest losing streak of the year
again at eight today and has lost 21 of the last 23. (11-30)

The world famous Beetlejuice was on
the Howard Stern Show this morning. Apparently, he has now lost
his two front teeth. Beetlejuice said he would probably get them
fixed before Christmas.
That's when Robin Quivers interrupted and said, well you know
All I Want For Christmas Is My
Tooth Front Teeth
is a famous song.
If Don
Gardner were alive today he probably be surprised to know the title
change of his Christmas classic. (11-29)

Today a caller mentioned how much he loved
Howard TV. Howard said
he knew a lot of cable systems and people with satellite weren't able to
get the programming, but he wished they could.
Robin Quivers then interrupted and made the same mistake on the air she
did on March 20th of this year when she said: satellite isn't carrying
any kind of on demand programming. Obviously, she hasn't educated
herself on this topic yet and she might want to
read this. (11-29)

Robin Quivers was ripping the new Mel Gibson movie
Apocalypto on the show
today. She said, nobody even knows what Apocalypto is about.
Well, it seems the good folks at
IMDB know the secret:
As the Maya kingdom faces its decline, the rulers insist the key to
prosperity is to build more temples and offer human sacrifices. Jaguar
Paw (Rudy Youngblood), a young man chosen for sacrifice, flees the
kingdom to avoid his fate. (11-29)

Add another word to the ever growing list of words Robin Quivers
can't pronounce:
cetacean.
While reading a news story today about
whale
brains, Robin stumbled across the word and said it like, see-tah-see-an,
when she should have pronounced it: si-'tA-sh&n. Nice try
Robin. (11-28)
-Robinswrong
During a discussion about Jesse Jackson and racist comments he has
made in the past today, Robin Quivers commented once again that the
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is now open in Washington, D.C.
Robin said, Jesse was at the dedication of the memorial last week.
Once again, could someone please let Robin know that a ground
breaking ceremony and dedication of a memorial are two different things
please. (11-28)
-Robinswrong
On the show today Howard forgot his thoughts and asked what he had
just been talking about, referring to the fact that Kid Rock and Pamela
Anderson were getting a divorce.
That's when clueless Robin Quivers chimed in and said, Pam and Chris
Rock. (11-28)
-Robin's Dad
This morning Howard talked about the number one chess player in the
world playing a computer called
Deep Fritz.
Howard mentioned this had been done before when chess players took on
IBM's Deep Blue.
Robin Quivers then interrupted and said IBM's chess computer was
called Big Blue, which was completely wrong. (11-28)

After ten days of vacation, Robin Quivers was in rare form this
morning. Howard was discussing Michael Richards' racist
comments at a comedy club and his efforts at damage control. He
brought up Richards' on-air conversation with Jesse Jackson when Robin
broke in to exclaim that Richards' visit with Jackson proves: "He's a
real racist because he doesn't know what to do."
What? If that's the proof, is this another pot meets kettle
situation?? (11-27)

Robin Quivers lost
Mike Walker's
Gossip Game again this week. For those keeping score at home,
that's seven straight losses and 20 out of the last 22 for a winning
percentage of 9.1%.
With four stories to choose from each week, even Gary the Retard would
likely be at a winning percentage of 25%. (11-16)

Seaman Robin Quivers demonstrated why you should turn 180 degrees and
apply full throttle if you encounter her on the Long Island Sound or
elsewhere on the water.
A caller named Chris phoned in to give Robin a nautical quiz. She knew
the basic questions, identifying the meanings of bow, stern, port and
starboard. She didn't know what the abbreviation "SOS" means (save our
ship), nor did she know what the "draft" of a vessel is (its depth below
the waterline) which is helpful when navigating shallow waters.
Most importantly, she didn't know which vessel has the right of way when
two vessels are directly approaching one another (the larger vessel).
Robin answered "the vessel on the right." Of course, when two boats are
approaching one another, there is no boat on the right! To all you
sailors, LOOK OUT!!! (11-16)

Professional broadcaster Robin allowed herself to be baited into an
obscene rant with Elegant Elliot Offen during today's session of the
football picks. After he used the "n" and "c" word numerous times, Robin
called him an "a-hole" and a "stupid ass" several times in retort.
I wonder if this "broadcasting" technique is taught at the Columbia
School of Broadcasting. (11-16)

Howard started off the show this morning playing a new phony phone call
that included the voices of Wood Yee, Blue Iris, Hank the Angry Dwarf
and Mike Walker. After it was over, Robin Quivers said that even
Howard made it onto the call.
Howard then asked Robin what she was talking about. She said the
line used in the call that asked, can I tell you my favorite Matt
Dillon story, was Howard. He then informed Robin the line was one
by Mike Walker they play all the time.
Welcome to the show Robin. (11-16)

Robin Quivers reported today that the PS3 was released in the U.S.
I guess these people waiting in line outside of Best Buy still think
like the rest of the country that sales start November 17th.

The gang was discussing a TV show coming soon & starring OJ Simpson
purportedly explaining how he would have committed the infamous murders
of his ex-wife Nicole and Ron Goldman, had he done it. During the
conversation, the discussion turned to problems allegedly existing
between African-Americans and the Los Angeles police that resulted in
the mostly black jury acquitting Simpson.
Robin Quivers commented that in L.A., there are all sorts of problems
with "Blacks trumping up evidence and falsifying charges." What an
imbecile, it's the police that have been the subject of such
accusations. (11-15)

Yesterday in Washington, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the
Martin Luther
King Memorial to be constructed on the Washington Mall. During
Robin Quivers news, she reported that the finished Memorial was
"unveiled" yesterday.
Several news clips were played, including those recording speeches from
President Bush, Martin Luther King III and others, each of which talked
about the Memorial in future tense, as something that will be completed
sometime in the future. Robin never caught on though.
Hopefully, in the near future, Robin will travel to Washington to visit
the "Memorial." I wonder what she'll say about the current hole in the
ground! (11-14)
-The Amazed Listener
During yet another discussion of bands that were hit wonders, music
know-it-all Robin Quivers stated that the
singer of Damn, I
Wish I Was Your Lover was Sadie B Hawkins. Oh so close Robin,
it was Sophie B. Hawkins. (11-14)

It's fortunate former nurse Robin Quivers is no longer active in the
profession, given her lack of medical knowledge. This morning,
Howard was interviewing Joey Butafuoco and the discussion turned to
Joey's bout with testicular cancer. He had one testicle removed
during the treatment.
Medical "expert" Quivers chimed in: "Did you put a prosthesis in your
testicle to make it look right?"
As anyone in the medical field knows (except Nurse Robin), the
testicles
are contained within the scrotum. Thus, the prosthesis is placed
within the scrotum in place of a testicle, not placed in the testicle.

Robin Quivers was goofing on Ed Bradley for having an alter ego "Teddy".
She was inferring that Ed gave himself the name Teddy. As usual,
she got it WRONG!
It was Jimmy Buffett that gave Ed the name Teddy Badly. As Buffet
tells the story on 60 Minutes last night a person watching a jazz
performance asks Buffet if the guy up on stage is Ed Bradley.
Buffet tells the guy no his name is Teddy Badly. So it wasn't Ed that
came up with Teddy it was Jimmy Buffet. (11-13)

Still within the first half hour of the show today, the gang was
discussing Fred's legal name change to "Eric." The question came up as
to what name Fred used to sign the official FCC logs at K-Rock, for
example, E. Fred Norris.
Genius Robin asked: "What does he sign the logs now?" Howard had to
remind Robin: "There are no logs, this is satellite radio."

For those who love to hear Robin Quivers screw up, the best listening is
in the first half-hour of the show. Today, within the first five
minutes, Robin came through again.
Howard was discussing the death of Ed Bradley and mentioned how, in the
case of most celebrities, we know that they're dying in advance.
By contrast, no one knew Ed Bradley was dying.
Robin chimed in an example: "We knew that Frank Sinatra was dying."
Too bad Robin didn't share her clairvoyance with the Sinatra family -
maybe we would have gotten a few more years out of him. Maybe he would
still be with us!
Sinatra died of a heart attack on May 14, 1998 at the age of 82.

Robin Quivers lost the
Mike Walker
gossip game again today. That's six straight losses and 19 out of
the last 21 for those of you keeping score at home.
It's not remarkable that Robin lost - what was remarkable is that Howard
joined Robin in the loss this week. If it's Thursday (it is) and
we've played the Mike Walker game, tomorrow will be replay Friday!

We have another word, actually a name, Robin Quivers can't pronounce. In
1996, she played a brief role in the movie
Deadly Web: One of the stars of the movie was Ed Marinaro, former
NFL player who starred in the TV shows Laverne & Shirley, Hill Street
Blues and Sisters.
Even though Robin worked with him, she pronounced Ed's last name
"Marinara" like a spaghetti sauce. (11-9)

Robin Quivers today talked about the
invention of the year:
YouTube. After Robin brought up the topic, Howard said,
remember there was going to be a new kind of vehicle, turned out to be a
three wheeled vehicle you stood on.
Robin, as usual didn't, let Howard finish his point and blurted out, the
Segway!
Looks to me like the Segway only has two wheels Robin. (11-7)

Today Robin Quivers was saying she had recently read something about
people with Asperger's Syndrome and that they often have savant
capabilities.
She also mentioned the movie Rain Man.
Although there are savants within the Autism Spectrum, which includes
Asperger's, they certainly are in the gross minority. In fact, there are
many people including autistic adults who hate the movie Rain Man and
the "Rain Man Syndrome". The movie would lead some people to believe
that autistics should have some kind of idiot savant capabilities. It
just isn't the case.
Here she is again expanding on a subject she briefed from one source and
fell flat on what she "thinks". (11-7)

During this morning's show, Robin Quivers opened a window into her
actual degree of mental retardation. Gary mentioned that he once lived
in the same building as
Marilyn Vos Savant, the woman touted as the smartest human being
with an IQ greater than 200.
Robin asked "What does she do?", thereby proving that she hasn't read
Parade Magazine in about 20 years.
Then, Howard asked rhetorically "What's in an IQ test?" Robin,
proving that her IQ is somewhere between idiot and imbecile answered:
"Problems...all kinds of things."
No further comment needed, Res Ipsa Loquitur. (11-7)

On the show today the discussion came up about IQ scores. Artie
asked what was a high IQ and Gary said the thought you had to have
either 140 or 160 to be in Mensa.
Robin Quivers, who obviously isn't a member of Mensa, blurted out you
had to have a score of 140.
According to
Wikipdia: Because different tests are scaled differently, it
is not meaningful to compare raw scores between tests, only percentiles.
For example, the minimum accepted score on the Stanford-Binet is 132,
while for the
Cattell it is 148. (11-7)

During the news today they were talking about Saddam Hussein being
sentenced to death. Robin Quivers said that Saddam does have his
factions (within Iraq). She went on to say that "they are the
largest part of the population I think."
Robin, the Sunni population in Iraq, under Saddam and still to this day
are a huge minority. It would be like comparing the Amish to the
Christians in America. Yet, under Saddam, this minority group had
all the power while the other religious sects were persecuted like
slaves i.e. Shiite and Kurds.
It's pretty sad how you can talk about mainstream newscasters who say
the words "top cock" instead of "top cop" obviously in error and on the
same day yourself make such an egregious error in your newscast.
You should be ashamed of yourself. By the way, how's the
boat? (11-6)

Today Robin Quivers did a story about a
man arrested with an awl hidden in his rectum. Robin
pronounced awl as if she was saying "owl" when she should have said it
like "all".
Add another word to the list that Robin has no clue how to pronounce.

Just when we thought the show
would end without another Robin gaffe, she came through with flying
colors. Howard played a tape of Vice-President Cheney noting that
there hasn't been a terror attack on US Soil since 9/11 and that that's
one good reason to vote Republican tomorrow.
Robin Quivers butted in with her interpretation that the Vice
President was implying "we will keep this going if you re-elect this
President" (Robin's words).
If no-one clues Robin in that the President isn't on the ballot
tomorrow, will she write-in her preferred "candidate" tomorrow?

This morning Howard was discussing an
embarrassing mistake made by Jane Skinner of FOX News. Ms. Skinner was
reading a story and instead of saying "top cop," she said "top cock"
twice.
During the discussion, Howard asked, rhetorically, if news
readers like Jane Skinner are even thinking about the words they're
reading? Robin chimed in: "They laugh at anything - they don't care
about the content!"
Pot meet Kettle, my name is Robin Quivers. (11-6)

On this morning's show Howard talked about the
Dr. Laura
action figure and the comments it makes. Howard played one of
the clips that had Dr. Laura saying, "I'm the proud mother of an
American soldier."
Immediately, after the clip was done Robin Quivers screeched
rhetorically, but is she the proud mother of a military person, no!
Howard, who seems to be questioning more and more of what Robin tries to
state as fact asked everyone if Dr. Laura did in fact have a son in the
military.
Benjy said although he hates Dr. Laura, he does listen to her and
said she talks about her
son
being in the military all the time. (11-2)

The
Mike
Walker gossip game was played today, making it clear that the
gang will be taking off Friday once again.
As usual, Robin lost (and Howard won). For those scoring at home,
Robin has now lost five consecutive times and 18 of the last 20!
