September 2007...
 

Over the past two weeks Robin has reported the on the Jena 6 news story that is getting nationwide attention. Since first reporting the story Robin has consistently mispronounced the town name as "Jen-uh" instead of the correct pronunciation of "Geee-na".

What's in Dr. Roni's green drinks anyway?  (9.27.07) -Dora in Philly


 

 

 


Today on the news, Robin talked about the rumor that Michael Jackson had married his nanny. Then she mentioned his children, "Paris and Michael Jr..." and that is not correct.

According to TMZ.com, Michael Jackson has three children: "MJ's three kiddos; Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II (aka Blanket)"

Good job once again, Robin! No matter how slim you get, you are still the same "newswoman" you've always been. Just hum a few bars, no one, until this web site, will notice.  (9.27.07) -Teddy in Scottsdale


After a brief one week winning streak, Robin returned once again to her losing ways today playing the Mike Walker game.

If you are keeping score at home, here are her latest and most up to date stats: 4 1/2 out of 29 in 2007 (15.5%) and 7 1/2 out of the last 54 (13.8%).  (09.27.07) -robinswrong

 

 

Just after the show ended today, Howard did a commercial for Beck's beer and started to talk about Reinheitsgebot, when Robin had to once again interrupt with misinformation. She then asked rhetorically, "Do you know what a Pilsner is? Because I looked it up."  Robin then went on to say that Pilsen was a region of Germany that developed a way of brewing or creating beer that was superior and that is why it is a Pilsner.

Lots of facts thrown out there by Brewmaster Quivers, but they are not exactly correct, even if she, "looked it up." Reinheitsgebot is a beer purity law that originated in Germany in 1516. Pilsner is a type of beer developed in the town of Pilsen, Bohemia in 1842.  After listening to all those mistakes it's time for a cold one.  (9.26.07) -RayF.


During the news Robin Quivers reported that a 15 year old Russian boy held onto the wing of a plane going 500 mph for two hours. When Howard questioned her that if he held onto the jet Robin exclaimed, "onto the wing!"

Robin, never one to double check or even check her facts, should have done some research like Baba Booey who tried to correct her. The Russian teen rode in the wheel well of the wing.  (9.26.07) -Alan.

 

After the Wendy the Retard segment today, Howard was playing "Round and Round" by Ratt. Howard exclaimed how he loved that song and then went on to say he loves music.

The ever knowing Robin broke in and said, "I was thinking about that the other day though. You don't really like music, - you like music you like."

I hope she didn't hurt herself coming up with that piece of brilliance.  (9.26.06) -Interceptor


When Howard came back from the break after the Jerry Rice interview he took a call from Dan in Niagara Falls who said how much he enjoyed the interview even though he was not a big sports fan. Dan then asked Howard what is the point with sports with all the problems they were having right now.

Howard said he loved watching football and baseball, but when the games are on he thinks of all the other things he has to do. He then started to say something about the playoffs when Robin decided to throw in her two cents.  She screeched," I like football because at the very least it only asks you for a couple of days. I mean now it's spread out a little bit because they have Thursday games and Sunday games....."

The NFL has always had Sunday games and Thursday games going back for quite sometime. Of course Monday Night Football started in 1970 and what about Saturday games? Leave it to Robin to open mouth and insert foot(ball).  (9.26.07) -JoeS


Artie was talking about his day off yesterday and how sick he was. He said he woke up and felt he had a fever so he took his ear thermometer...and before he could continue his story Robin shrieked, "why do you have an ear thermometer, those are for babies?!?!"

Once again, Robin makes one wonder if she was ever a nurse. The most accurate way to check a baby's temperature is the way Howard's mother did with him for years, rectally. Another way is to hold the thermometer under the armpit. Ear thermometers are not accurate with a baby because their ear canals are too small or underdeveloped.

After listening to Robin for five hours I wish my ear canals were underdeveloped.  (9.26.07) -Paul S.


Artie was talking this morning about how a large drink from fast food restaurants now are just "obnoxious". Robin then chimed in that she looked at the large Big-Gulp in 7-11 and the big one is 54 ounces.

Close Robin, but as usual you are incorrect.  The Double Gulp is 64 ounces of tasty goodness and has been around since 1988.  That's almost as long as you have been screwing up the news.  (9.26.07) -JD.

 

During the discussion of the Iranian President's speech at Columbia University, Howard played a tape of President Ahmadinejad responding to a question about Iran's policy of executing homosexuals.

As Ahmadinejad attempted to convince the audience that Iran had no homosexuals, the audience laughed derisively at the absurd comment. The contempt of the audience was widely reported by media outlets but expert Robin "...but that's my point" Quivers sarcastically stated, "...now we're laughing 'cause they execute gay people."

Robin, Robin, Robin...you should be thankful that misinformation is not considered a serious crime...you'd be first under the guillotine!  (9.25.07) -Bad Santa


Right when the show started today Howard said that he was gassy. He said that he went out to eat last night and had a lot of broccoli. Robin said that something must be wrong with him because vegetables don’t make you gassy. As usual, she couldn’t be more wrong. Broccoli, cabbage and cucumber are very gassy foods.

For somebody that only eats vegetable and pleasures herself with them, you would think that she knows a little more about them.  (9.25.07) -Adam C


Robin did a story today about some  Boy Scouts who were lost while camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. They had been expected to be home by 7 PM Sunday.

Fortunately, one hour earlier, there was a press conference announcing that they had been located and all were well.

Robin Quivers earns another merit badge for inaccurate reporting.  (9.24.07) -Stevie G.


During the news, Howard asked if he had played the clip of Larry King calling Denise Brown, Nicole. Robin instantly exclaimed, "No!".

Howard then played the clip. Problem was, he had played it last Thursday. You would figure after hearing it, Robin would have remembered that it had been played on the show before.  (9.24.07) -Godzilla 55


 

During the opening segment discussion of the Giants vs. Redskins game, the guys were wondering how old Redskins head coach is. Robin did her research and chimed in that “Joe Gibb is 67.” Robin was wrong twice within the space of four words.

First, his last name is Gibbs, not Gibb. Second, Joe Gibbs was born on November 25, 1940, thus making him 66.  (9.24.07) -hero1240



 

Today Robin suggested that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad requesting to visit ground zero is like the Japanese prime minister Hirohito wanting to visit Pearl Harbor. Just as Iraq had nothing to do with the 9-11 attack, neither did Iran. So where Hirohito was responsible for the tragedy of Pearl Harbor, the tragedy of 9-11 rests neither at the feet of Iraq or Iran.

Does this mean Dr. Ronnie should never be seen near Robin's ass after attacking it with coffee in an enema bag?  (9.24.07) -Genman

 

 

While telling the story about Barry Bonds being pissed about the future of his "record breaking" home run ball, Robin said that Marc Ecko, the man who owns the ball, is holding an online auction to choose the fate of the baseball.

Holding an auction? I think you mean poll, which is exactly what Marc is doing on his website.

Let's shoot Robin into space please!  (9.20.07) -Godzilla 55
 

During Artie's comments on the AMC Series "Mad Men," he indicated that the show took place in the world of advertising in the early 1960s. Robin, in typical fashion, interrupted him constantly and then blurted out, "...yeah, during the Nixon era."

While Richard Nixon was a nationally known politician and presidential candidate in 1960, this early part of the '60s is better known as the Kennedy era ,while the late '60s to early '70s period (and latter period of the Vietnam war) is reserved as the era best linked to the Republican.

Robin, Robin, Robin...your constant interruptions are annoying enough. Do you have be wrong at the same time???  (9.20.07) -Bad Santa


I think that an honorable recognition should be paid to the caller, Michael, who this morning who pointed out Robin for all of her ridiculous interruptions of every interview. I see she didn't hear a word he said though since she was right back to interrupting as usual when Tom Riccio came in to talk about OJ guy called in.  (9.20.07) -shane in sf


 

 

 

During the news, Robin was talking about Whoopi’s contract prohibits profane language. Whoopi said that she “has never.....ever cussed.” Robin, ever the semantician, rebuked Whoopi’s improper word usage. “I hate the word ‘cussed’ too, I’m glad you said that, I really…it’s ‘cursed.’ I hate ‘cussed’”

Actually, cussed is perfectly acceptable. I wish that somebody had cussed Robin right out of a job a long time ago.  (9.19.07) -hero1240


 

Relating a news story about a six-year-old Australian pimp, Robin first described the boy as "prodigious", and then as "prolific" - missing the mark both times. The word for a child who exhibits mature qualities at an unusually early age is "precocious".

Once again the meat & veggie queen bites off more than she can chew. (9.19.07) -Madame Malaprop



 

During a perfectly entertaining Paul Anka interview, Robin 'the shivers' Quivers tried show off her interviewing style by asking Paul what are his feelings on George Clooney and others trying to recreate the "wack pack" scene in Vegas.

Wack pack???!! If Frank was still alive to hear that, he would whack Robin as fast as her talk show pilot was killed!  (9.19.07) -DanS.

 

 

Today the gang was discussing YouTube and how the site has plenty of copyrighted materials including Howard's. Robin chimed in that the problem is that there is no legislation to protect intellectual property on the internet since this was the frontier of technology.

Perhaps Robin hasn't heard of the DMCA because not a shred of her property is intellectual.  (9.19.07) -DanS


When discussing the suit O.J. wore when he was declared "not guilty" and debating the value, Baba Booey rhetorically asked, "What would you do with it? Hang it up in a case?"

Robin "Bone Collector" Quivers screamed, "I don't know, I'm not one of those people!"

Of course you're not one of "those people," Robin. I guess keeping Vincent Price's ashes doesn't count.  (9.17.07) -Makinehead



"Miracle Ear" Robin Quivers was back at it this morning. Howard spoke for some time about finding his mother collapsed on a marble floor after a fall and then taking her to the hospital.

After a few minutes of a detailed description of the severity of the incident, Robin pipe up with, "You mean she was bleeding? She hurt herself?"

Argh! I'm no longer surprised, just annoyed that I can pay more attention to the show while working in AutoCAD, trying to ignore my co-workers soft jazz, and fighting off Vikings.  (9.17.07) -Yves


Today while talking about life expectancy, Robin Quivers said that the oldest living person ever was 152 years old.

Again, Robin's talking out of her a$$. From wikipedia.com, "The longest unambiguously documented lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), who was aged 122 years. More evidence for the Calment case has been produced than for any other supercentenarian case, which makes her case a gold standard among the oldest people record holders.

The only thing getting old is Robin's act.  (9.13.07) -KWarren


Howard read an email from a listener that pointed out Robin flying to California and back is doing more damage to her circulation than she is helping because of all the sitting. Robin replied that she thought the benefits outweighed the cost.

Robin of course missed the fact that being in a pressurized cabin adds significantly to the lack of circulation problem, more so than sitting for an extended period. 

The captain has asked that you keep your seatbelts fastened until Robin stops making mistakes.  (9.13.07) -The Chief.


Robin extended her losing streak to five today while playing the Mike Walker game.

If you are keeping score at home, here are her latest and most up to date stats: 3 1/2 out of 27 in 2007 (12.9%) and 6 1/2 out of the last 52 (12.5%).  (09.13.07) -robinswrong

 

 

During the discussion of Robin Quiver's EECP treatment, a cardiologist called in to question what benefit she could be possibly getting from this. She ridiculed the doctor and his profession, saying, "they call it healthcare, but it's not. Nobody's becoming healthy from this healthcare system."

Robin talking about this on the day it was announced that life expectancy in the United States is at an all time high. So much for our healthcare system huh Robin?  (9.12.07) -HubieG.



Robin reported the iPhone has achieved sales of one million units. When Howard and Artie expressed surprise, Robin incorrectly stated that the iPhone has been on sale since October.

The iPhone went on sale June 29th, 2007 and has been on the market for a little over two months. She then went on to refer to the iPhone as an iPod.

Sales of iPhones < Robin's mistakes.  (9.11.07) -Lenny F/robinswrong

 

Federal law enforcement authority Robin Quivers commented that she saw Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at dinner and she had Secret Service with her.

Incorrect. The legislative branch is protected by the US Capitol Police. Her detail is from the USCP not the USSS.  (9.11.07) -DC



 

Today Robin reported on the death of Jane Wyman, stating that she is dead at the age of 93. Jane Wyman in fact was 90 years old, as confirmed by her website .

Some (not all) news outlets also reported her age incorrectly, had Robin bothered to check her facts, she would have found out the truth.  (9.11.07) -LarMcc

 

 

Eric the Midget called in to complain that Howard’s news department was interfering with his chance to set up a meeting with Diana Degarmo and her mother. Howard said he didn’t know Diana to which Eric responded that he did meet her once. Robin then chimed in saying, “That’s not meeting her”.

Thanks for that brilliant observation Robin.  (9.11.07) -GarbageRobin


Howard was reading an email from a listener enjoying the show from Phuket, Thailand. When Lisa G. mentioned the news dept did a series on listeners around the word, Robin chimed in showing her extensive knowledge on geography. Robin stated that a caller from earlier in the show dialed in from Korea. The caller had clearly stated he was calling from Hong Kong.

Maybe Robin thinks Korea is a province in China. Someone should nominate her for Miss Teen South Carolina.  (9.11.07) -Mister XXX


 

Howard was talking about the first birthday of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, Dannielynn Hope Marshall, this morning. Robin stated that her baby was an orphan.

Wow, was she an orphan when its been in the media for 5 months about who the real father was regarding the paternity test?!  (9.11.07) -vicHATESrobin

 

Robin Quivers reported on the new movie 3:10 to Yuma. She reported that it was the first western to hit #1 in 14 years. Artie asked, "Is it on the level of Unforgiven? Because that's one of my favorite movies."

Robin's shrieked, "No, this is a WESTERN!" in the manner that implied Unforgiven was hardly worthy of the genre. She then went on to clarify the difference between 3:10 to Yuma and Unforgiven by informing Artie that 3:10 to Yuma had "bad guys" and shooting.

Artie must have choked on his cup cake. Does Robin realize that Unforgiven actually was a western, one of the finest ever, nominated for 9 Academy Awards? And that it also had bad guys and shooting?

3:10 to Clueless, coming into the station....  (9.10.07) -Impeach Robin


During Robin's news today she could not name Roger Federer's US Open opponent Novak Djokovic during the story, calling him the "young guy". She also stated that it was Federer's 12 title, when in actuality it was his 12th grand slam title and 51st overall. Double fault! (9.10.07) -Vhschola from Maine.


 

 

Howard read an email sent in that asked Fred what a song was that he played last week. Fred mentioned that it was Iggy Pop and Robin immediately broke out singing, "Love for life". Fred corrected her saying it's, "Lust for life".

Robin's response: "Whatever."

Ya, Robin...whatever you say ends up being wrong.  (9.10.07) -DanS.

 

 


A caller called in to talk about 9/11 and whether it was a conspiracy set up by the government. Robin said, "So we had to kill a whole 2, no, 3 plane loads of people?"

Two planes into the World Trade Center + one into the Pentagon + one into a Pennsylvania field = four planes!

Counting must not be Robin's strong suit. But then again, what is?  (9.10.07) -DanS

 

After Howard's chess teacher came by, they played some O.J. clips. Robin Quivers, not content to simply listen had to chime in (attempting to be O.J.) she declared, "How could he be the king of media, he never stopped a basketball game."

That would have been an interesting feat, if it had happened, which it didn't. The networks went split screen and the teams continued to play the NBA finals. So take some advice Robin you learn more by listening than by talking.  (9.10.07) -Always more informed than Robin


 

This morning Howard played the clip of Miss Teen South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin Upton, again because she appeared at the VMAs Sunday night. Robin, trying to act flabbergasted that she was getting her 15 minutes of fame for being stupid said, "We celebrate our stupidity, we emulate the worst in our society."

How dare you Robin! At least Miss South Carolina doesn't screw up the news every morning.  (9.10.07) -robinis60

During the news Robin started the story about Chris Benoit and she said that he had killed his wife & daughter.

Then during the story, she said son. At least admit when you made the mistake Robin, or did she forget she messed up 10 seconds earlier?  (9.06.07) -Fred
 

 

After the Mike Walker game Artie talked about A-Rod hitting two home runs in an inning last night. Robin tried telling everyone that A-Rod's homerun last night came when the Yankees were already leading.

Actually, his first homerun came when the Yankees were down by one run and he tied the game. His second came in the same inning and was after they were in the lead.  (9.06.07) -JS


 

I guess Robin should get two wrong answers for the Mike Walker game today. When Mike announced that there were no winners Robin immediately jumped in with a second guess which of course was wrong also. Robin could probably be given three guesses and still not pick the correct one.

Here are her latest and most up to date stats: 3 1/2 out of 26 in 2007 (13%) and 6 1/2 out of the last 51 (12%).  (09.06.07) -JS


 

During today's discussion of fan email, Robin defended the Bam Margera interview yesterday by stating, "...the Saudi Arabia stuff was good."

Does Robin pay attention to the show at all? If she did, she would know that the strip search incident took place in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.  (9.06.07) -Bad "...it'll blow you away" Santa


 


When discussing the sex change of Larry/Lana Wachowski Howard mentioned it was great because it was one less dick to have to compete with. Robin then said, "that would be funny if he was still after women". He IS still into chicks you newswoman wannabe.

From his IMDB Page:
Estranged wife Thea Bloom was his college sweetheart. He left Bloom in 2002 for Karin Winslow, a professional dominatrix, who left her husband to take Wachowski on as her "slave."  (9.06.07) -Walker


During the Jackie songs segment today, Howard said that Jimmy Buffett fans are called "Parrotheads". He wondered aloud about where that name originated. Never one to miss a cue, Robin chimed in with the ever so deep and profound, “Something about a parrot around him somewhere.”  (9.06.07) -hero1240

 

Early in the show today Howard was taking about how many searches for Nancy Sirianni had been made on Google. Gary came into the conversation and started reading the list from Google. Artie asked Gary who was number one right now:

Gary: Who's Paul Gilmor? Hold on. Representative Gilmor of Ohio was found dead in D.C.

Robin: Ya he is from Ohio that just came out he was found dead in an apartment.

Thanks Robin for clearing that up for us. What would we do without you? Besides enjoy uninterrupted comedy all morning... (9.06.07) -My Ears Hurt.


Howard played clips today of Jerry Lewis and the MDA Telethon from Labor Day.  Robin Quivers said rhetorically, "how much more money do you have to raise, every year they raise a record amount of money."  I guess one could believe her, unless you did ten seconds of research. Here are the results from years past:

2003 $60,505,234 +3.8%
2004 $59,398,915 (-1.8)%
2005 $54,921,586 (-7.5)%

I wish Robin would have made a pledge to MDA this year to not f-up so much.  (9.05.07) -robinswrong
 

While talking to Nancy Sirianni and her Dial-A-Date contestants today, Howard took a call from Mike in New York.  Howard asked the caller if he wanted to date Nancy and Mike said, "Ya well, I'm in the middle of getting a divorce...."

Four seconds later Robin asked, "how long have you been out of this marriage?" Mike then had to explain to Robin that he was still married and in the process of getting a divorce.


Are Robin's headphones even plugged in? If not, I wish someone would go ahead and unplug her microphone as well.  (9.05.07) -My Ears Hurt.
 

Today Robin Quivers decided to try her hand in the music industry. While playing Everybody Loves a Clown, Howard said that it was a big hit. Robin in her typical Robinesque fashion said that it wasn't.

Well it was #4 on the charts and a bigger hit than Robin's T.V. show that never was.  (9.05.07) -Always more informed than Robin


 

Today the gang was talking about Howard's prostatitis. Benjy said that "itis" means inflammation, but Robin Quivers interjected that she thought it meant an infection.

How someone with medical training can make that mistake, I'll never understand. But Robin always seems to find a way. Maybe her brain is infected with stupiditis.  (9.04.07) -DanS
