On today's show Howard covered the football picks. He stated
correctly that the Colts beat the Broncos 34 to 31. That's when
sports expert Robin Quivers screeched, "yea, 'cause the Colts were
so dominant, it was crazy!"
When a team wins on a field goal with two seconds left, it's far
from dominant. (10-30)

At the beginning of today's show, Howard was discussing how movies are now judged by their opening weekend and that movies always have lower grosses in second and subsequent weeks. Genius Robin
Quivers begged to differ and exclaimed that she could name a bunch of
movies that had increased grosses in their second week of release.
Howard called her bluff and asked her to name an example, and Robin
blurted out "American Beauty." As the following link demonstrates, the
weekly grosses for American Beauty steadily decreased from the opening
weekend:

Robin then blurted out "Blair Witch Project." As the following link demonstrates, the grosses for "Blair Witch Project" increased because theaters were added after the first week. The first week, the movie was shown in only 27 theaters - it would have been difficult for the grosses not to have gone up with so few theaters showing the movie in the first week!

What a genius! (10-30)

To those of you who are not Sirius subscribers, listened to Sirius for the last
two days and are now thinking about paying to join: Today, we
subscribers are listening to re-runs of shows from K-ROC that you
already heard free. This is what happens 90% of the time on Fridays,
except for the weeks (seemingly every other one) when Howard & crew are
on vacation and it happens all week.
On days like today, you can
re-hear all of Robin's screw-ups (if you choose to pay for the
privilege)! (10-27)

Today and tomorrow, free access is available on
sirius.com to encourage new subscriptions. The best thing
Howard could have done to facilitate new subscriptions would have
been to send Robin Quivers to
Timbuktu
for the entire week, or better yet on a one-way ticket. Her
cackling and interrupting and nonsensical comments will likely
result in a net loss of subscribers! (10-25)

Today, Robin continued to display her lack of knowledge about
stingrays. She was reading a story about the
81 year old man who survived being stabbed in the heart by the
barb of a stingray and exclaimed: "Stingrays are getting good at
shooting people in the heart."
For what seems like the 10th time, Robin, stingrays don't "shoot"
their barbs - they stab with them! (10-24)

Baba Booey talked about the Mets loss in game seven on the show this
morning. He brought up the
amazing catch by Andy
Chavez in the 6th inning.
Gary: It was maybe the most amazing catch I've ever seen live in that
important of a situation. He goes back, his arm goes over the
homerun wall, over it, he pulls it up - it's like a snow cone.
Then he has the wherewithal to throw to first base for the double play.
Just as Gary finished giving a perfect description of the play, like
nails on a chalkboard....
Robin: He robbed the guy of a homerun and then he got the other runner
out!!!
Exactly what Gary had just said, but Robin Quivers couldn't just sit
quietly for ten seconds and let someone else tell a story. (10-23)

This morning Howard was complaining about the lighting for Howard TV
saying in one episode he looked like
Nosferatu.
Artie was clueless as to who Nosferatu was. Howard then told Artie
there was a movie he really should see about the original vampire, but
couldn't remember the title. Baba Booey said the name of the movie
was Shadow of the Vampire.
Robin Quivers interrupted and said that wasn't the title of the movie,
but Fred corrected her and said Baba Booey was correct.
Who would have guessed the Robin wasn't an expert on vampire movies?

At the beginning of today's show, Howard was describing his chores as a new
disc jockey. He explained that one duty of a broadcaster holding an FCC
license was to read the station's meter every three hours and keep a log
for the FCC.
Howard explained that he hated to read the meter so he
would often look in the log and write down a number close to the
previous reading. Expert Robin Quivers chimed in "and vary it by a degree or
something."
Later, Howard explained that a meter reading was in
VOLTS!! Robin thought the FCC was concerned
about the temperature of the studio, not the
voltage of the transmitter!! (10-23)

Robin Quivers had quite a day today. She was annoying, wrong and
clueless as usual and then she continued her gossip game losing streak .
She has now lost four weeks in a row and 17 of the last 19.
Robin might be the Washington Generals of the Mike Walker gossip game.

Howard read a strange news story involving the plane crash of Corey
Lidle on today's show. Howard said the woman (Kathleen Caronna)
whose apartment the plane crashed into was the same woman who was hurt
in an
accident in the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Robin Quivers then provided expert commentary by saying, she (Caronna)
had an apartment in the building...
Howard continued saying, the woman was critically injured by the Cat in
the Hat balloon went out of control it knocked part of the lamp post on
top of her head.......Then Robin screeched, it was the Cat in the Hat!
As if Howard hadn't just informed everyone what balloon had done the
damage. (10-19)

Baba Booey come up with a baseball quiz today to find out who knew more
(or less) Sal the Stockbroker or Howard.
After a couple of pretty simple questions Gary asked, for scoring
purposes all positions on the field have a number related to them - give
me an example of a position and the number that goes with it.
Sal asked for an example and Gary began to explain the question again.
Robin Quivers couldn't just let the men do the talking, but because she
had sat silent for almost 38 seconds she had to interrupt. She
said let me explain it to you, when they do a double play they would say
it's a 6-5-4.
Ah yes, the ever classic shortstop to third base back to second, double
play! Almost as classic as Tinkers to Evers to Chance.

During a light hearted discussion to start the show this morning Robin
Quivers said to Howard, you said something the other day that someone
used to take you somewhere, but you never talked about that.
Howard said his parents took him a lot of places. Robin said it
wasn't his parents, but someone else.
Clueless Quivers couldn't remember a mere 24 hours ago when Howard was
talking to Ric Flair and said his grandfather took him to see pro
wrestling. (10-19)

Right out of the box, this morning, the gang talked about Dancing
With The Stars. During the discussion, dopey Robin Quivers said, "The
athletes do well because they have large fan bases."
Could it be
possible that they do well because they are great athletes? Jerry
Rice and Emmitt Smith are two of the best athletes of the past 50
years! (10-18)

Today Howard played a clip of his girlfriend Beth interviewing Carmen
Electra. During the interview Beth asked what type of guy Carmen
was going to date next because she and Howard have a bet. Howard
said, she date a politician instead of Dennis Rodman, Prince and the guy
that smokes all the spliffs from insane in the membrane.
That's when Robin Quivers interrupted and said, oh oh, Eazy E!
Howard then corrected the clueless one and said B Real was his name.

Today Howard and the gang were talking about the first songs that
had the "N" word in it. There was a Patty Smith song they were
talking about then Howard mentioned a John Lennon song. Robin
Quivers said the Lennon one came out after the patty Smith song.
Of course she had to be corrected, because as usual she was wrong.

Add MLB commissioner Bud Selig's last name to the ever growing list of
names that Robin Quivers can't pronounce.
Robin, you say it like see-lig, not sell-ig. (10-12)

Robin Quiver's losing streak rolled on today. She has now lost
three weeks in a row and 16 of the last 18. Maybe she might want
to think about skipping the game next week. (10-12)

Today everyone talked about the plane crash that killed
Corey Lidle.
Robin Quivers said it was an outrage to call people that don't have much
experience flying pilots.
This seems strange since she has no problem calling herself a newswoman.

Howard played a few more clips from
Dateline: To Catch a
Predator today. But, before he did Robin said there was
another episode of it coming up this Friday.
Unless Robin Quivers knows something that NBC doesn't, Dateline is not
on this Friday. (10-11)

On today's show, fat chick banger and WWE
champion, John
Cena talked about sleeping with groupies and his new movie,
The Marine.
Resident know nothing, Robin Quivers, predicted the movie would do very
well because of the "built in" WWE audience.
Obviously, she didn't do any research or think before speaking because
if she had, she would know that the last WWE movie,
See No Evil, sank
like a turd in a bucket of oil. (10-11)

Know nothing Robin Quivers today said that Jackie Martling's show,
Jackie's Joke Hunt, was on every other Tuesday. Luckily, Gary
corrected her and let everyone know that it is on every Tuesday.
Could someone at Sirius please forward Robin a show schedule?

Before Erica Durance,
who plays Lois Lane on Smallville, came on the show today, Howard and
Gary talked about how good she looked in a bikini.
Robin Quivers said Durance looked ok, but her stomach wasn't that tight.
This coming from a woman that needs a wheelbarrow to haul her gut around
in until the next time she does the master cleanser diet. (10-9)

Today Artie was telling Howard how A-rod sucked in the Yankees game
last night. That's when our favorite sports expert, Robin Quivers
said Howard doesn't understand. Then she said ask me when it
comes to sports, I know it all.
About a half hour later, Crazy Alice was making her pick for the
football pool. Alice took the Colts and our resident sports
genius Robin said, she's taking the Indiana Colts. The team is
the Indianapolis Colts. So much for Robin knowing it all about
sports. (10-6)

Clueless Robin Quivers lost the
Mike Walker
gossip game again today: two weeks in a row now and 15 of the last
17....quite an impressive streak.
After revealing that Robin was wrong, Walker gave her another chance to
guess and she was wrong again! So even though she lost the gossip
game twice today, we will only count it as one. (10-6)

Today Howard interviewed the openly gay pro wrestler
Chris Kanyon.
Howard said he could understand how Chris felt that he really wanted to
wrestling, but was fired by Vince McMahon for being gay.
Pro wrestling expert Robin Quivers then interrupted and said that Vince
was the only game in town.
Obviously, Robin has never heard of
TNA Wrestling on SpikeTV.
While they may not have all of the household names of the WWE, they are
another company that produces pro wrestling and makes Vince not the only
game in town. (10-6)

Robin did a news story on the new TV show

Today Howard was going on and on about his gay TV shows when Artie
couldn't take it anymore and yelled: the Yankees won 8-4! Jeter
was 5 for 5! 5 for 5...he homered, what a game!
Robin Quivers then asked, didn't he hit every time at bat? (10-4)

This morning Howard was speaking to a caller - at the end of the
conversation, the caller asked to be placed on hold. When Howard asked
why, he explained that he wanted to listen to the show. When
questioned, the caller admitted that he's not a Sirius subscriber.
Robin Quivers chimed in, telling the caller that "we shouldn't even be talking
to you." The caller explained that he's unemployed. Robin responded:
"What do you mean you're unemployed? What do you do?"
What would Robin
be doing if Howard wasn't superstitious about her inclusion on the
show? Notice, there's been no recent talk about her car race with
Bubba.
And we're still waiting for Robin's talk show. Apparently, the
audition didn't go too well. Virtually everyone else on the show is
doing something else on Sirius. Robin isn't qualified to answer the
phones for Riley Martin! Howard finally sympathized with the caller & put him on
hold. (10-4)

Today Howard was criticizing
Sal for his Anti-Semitic comment that on Yom Kippur, he could go to
a farm and pick apples and would have "elbow room" since all
the Jews would be in temple. Howard pointed out that if Sal wanted
to have a "Jew-free" day, he could go "deer hunting."
Howard then mentioned that one exception would be his Uncle who
he described as a cop who also would go deer hunting. Robin Quivers
exclaimed that he wasn't really Jewish - he must have been adopted.
Does dopey Robin think that a cop and hunter couldn't be Jewish
and that if a Jew is a cop and a hunter they must have been an
adopted non-Jew? Robin's comment exceeded Sal's in the
anti-Semitism department! (10-3)
