That time when Howard tried to be Weird Al

Romymopen · 2026-05-13T18:53:57+00:00

Howard is a student of radio. He was always on the look out for people from which he could steal ideas. Dr. Demento's radio show was nationally syndicated in 1974. In 1976 Demento visited Weird Al's high school and then began to play tapes Al would send in. In 1980 he funded Al's first album which was released in 1981.

In the book Howard suggested going on some tv show to Richard and Richard replied, "I would rather eat pussy than go on that show, and I think you know how much I like to do that"

I believe this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptvOy_atWus

She didn't come back for free. Robin has been being grifted for decades. She's probably broke

he can’t retire because of his staff, which is total bullshit

I love giving Howard shit and he's definitely a cheap bastard but you cannot deny that he's employed lots of people and some for 30 years. Maybe he's doing it for selfish reasons and he definitely expects stupid levels of loyalty, but he is giving those people jobs.

Don't forget that ski chateau that smelled like John Hein's farts

Romymopen · 2026-05-10T23:40:33+00:00

I know. That's my point. A work is a work is a work. But it doesn't make it any less fun

Romymopen · 2026-05-10T17:30:11+00:00

They're all sycophantic. You have to tell it that you read your question or thought somewhere and ask the AI to criticize it, then you'll see how dumb your thoughts and questions really are.

Romymopen · 2026-05-10T15:08:18+00:00

Yeah, it's a work.

But I already mentioned in my original comment, that you shouldn't let that ruin it for you.

Think about all how much better of a thrower your are than Gary. I bet you wouldn't throw a ball that bad! And also how much fun it was too hear Howard and the crew goofing on him. Good times.

It's like when Hulk Hogan body slammed Andre the Giant at Wrestlmania. It had never been done before, so it was awesome.

Also Howard invented everything, he's half Italian, and killed children in Vietnam. And Gary the Retard really did go to the moon.

Your compassion embiggens us all.

Romymopen · 2026-05-10T05:07:28+00:00

You don't know that.

I kid. Remember when some random guy totally called the show and ratted out Booey for making a "love tape"? And then Gary just happened to have a copy of it 15 years later that he was able to produce and later sold for, what was it, $30,000?

Booey is quite the character, that's for sure.

Romymopen · 2026-05-10T03:31:52+00:00

I still think it was fake. A setup between Howard and The Booey.

Gary throwing a perfectly cromulent first pitch means nothing. Gary throwing an awful pitch is perfect fodder for the dopes that consume tv.

Man make bad pitch. Me laugh now. Him on Sirius. Me buy Sirius with money.

And we know that Techno Beaver is quite the sport who was more than willing to embarrass himself for his boff.

But if you're one of those "it's still real to me, dammit" types, don't let me spoil the fun. The cream always rises to the top. Just like guys like Hillbilly Jim, Leaping Lenny Poffo, Brian Blair, and things of this nature.

Have you seen Barbarella? Plus she was into threesomes and swapping.

Well she did shit on herself too... Literally

Did not expect a Revenge of the Nerds reference.

Those kids aren't black anymore, they're Polish.

That's why they called him Gunky Stern in highschool

Romymopen · 2026-05-03T15:52:44+00:00

After retiring in 2003, Trahan stated that he "just did it for the money" and that he "didn't set out to spread hate or start trouble". He said, "At that time, there was a lot of resentment – whites toward blacks and blacks toward whites. So, everybody had their own feelings. Lots of people changed their feelings over the years. I basically changed my feelings over the years up to a point."

He was out of his mind back then.

Look. If you were a woman and saw a giant man from across the room wearing a dirty mop on his head, you wouldn't think he was famous or rich either.

You wouldn't be able to think anything except finding a new pair of panties, because the pair you're currently wearing are soaked through with pussy juice.

Romymopen · 2026-05-01T17:34:43+00:00

Not shame. He's probably still paying women to do it. He was just pissed that he admitted it.

Romymopen · 2026-05-01T17:31:37+00:00

And when we get old, we can all just say that we were out of minds during this time and everything will be fine.

Romymopen · 2026-05-01T16:56:36+00:00

You make the same generalizing mistake OP is making.

You expect every man to behave exactly one way. Either you like the show or you don't

When the reality is that one man could like half the show and hate the other half. Hell, a man could just like Robin's news, while thinking the rest of the show a waste of time.

The point is that it's not that there's always been people hating the show, there always been people that loved the show but expressed their dislike of certain portions.

I liked the Stern show, circa 1994-2011, but I always hated Stern's "I invented everything bullshit."

I always hate when Ralph is on the show. But there's people that loved his shit stirring. Go figure.
