POSSIBLE TOPICS

THE NEWLYWEIRD GAME
- The answers were Robin can't admit she's wrong & Robin is an expert on everything. Is "a know it all" the same as "does not admit when she's wrong"? SFNer rockinjonny points out that saying I don't know (she's an expert on everything) is different than saying I was wrong (can't admit she's wrong). IMHO they are 2 distinct things. you might say that Fred is an expert on everything but very few would say that he can't admit when he's wrong.
- Did Howard bully the judge into forcing a win? Were the judges feeling pressure from the "oil & vinegar vs vinaigrette" debacle and just gave into Howard? Whether he bullied a win or not this time, what are examples of when he did?
- What is your least favorite quality about Robin? Who do you least like on the show?
- Why when Richard picked Ross Zapin he was a retard for not understanding the game but when Jon picked David Heydt from the Tapes Team everyone acted like it was perfectly understandable?
- How was JD as host & how well did Howard & Robin give up control of the show to him? IMHO, Howard needed to talk to get JD going / fillin for JD not properly hosting (he was helping JD) while Robin was actually talking over JD & preventing him from properly hosting. (she was hindering JD)
- Did Fred & Howard practice? there's nothing wrong w/ it if they did. any couple going in to do this would. they practiced a little on air but I wonder if they practiced more after the show or over email. i couldn't believe the 60 minutes answer. i would have picked american chopper. my second choice was sons of anarchy. to me the 60 min answer sounded like they preped w/ if it's a tv question, we'll say 60 minutes.

GARY SAYS HOWARD DOES NOT HAVE NORMAL HUMAN FEELINGS
- Is Howard some sort of Dexter type like Gary says who does not understand normal human emotion? Why was it so hard for Howard to grasp that "making arrangements" is not the only thing that family members need you to do at a time of loss? He acted like the idea that a loved one might just need you there even though you weren't doing anything was completely insane & unnecessary. You're opinion may be that he was just goofing around but IMHO he was serious & would never think to just be there for someone. he'd be off "making arrangements" and uhhh oh god, making the eulogy.

WHAT ARE THOSE 2 DOING?
- Have Sal & Richard slacked off like Howard said last week? Why did he baby face it this week acting like they over reacted / incorrectly assumed he was talking about them when discussing their big letter?
- Howard has a plan on how Sal & Richard could better use their time. Would they be more productive if they worked on things separately?
- How did they become a team anyway? SFNer JoeyBo feels that Sal started this whole "team" business anyway because he thought Richard was the "Golden Child" who Howard liked more, so Sal hitched his wagon to Richard.
- Why does Howard insist on telling us Sal & Richard "randomly talked to people outside fashion week" and paint the fashion industry as antisemitic when they were clearly all homeless people that had nothing to do w/ the fashion industry? is it funnier?
- After playing a Sal & Richard rejected bit several callers tell Howard they thought it was great. Should they bring back the Sal & Richard rejected bits segment?
- Howard had Sal sit in for Fred (by himself) this week. Is he being groomed for something bigger?

MOST HETERO
- Howard says he's the most heterosexual male in the country. Give examples for & against.

ROBIN
- This week Fred said to Robin "unlike you I try for precision. lets just make shit up as we go along & then deny it when we make a mistake." Last week Howard said to her "you are out of line a lot." What's going on in there? Is there tension growing between the fab 3?


LEFTOVERS

SECRET GUESTLIST
- Howard says they don't announce their guests in advance because when he does, all the other Sirius shows bombard them with requests to do their shows too. Couldn't they just put out a edict that it's not allowed?
- Is it possible the stars are bombarded w/ calls from people telling them not to do Howard once word gets out? How could this be solved?
- We always hear about stars up at Sirius. Should Howard play the same game & try to grab up celebs already on the 36th floor? If it's a time of day issue, why not do 1 afternoon show or at least occasionally do special afternoon interviews to score them?
- Gary always says they don't like A-list guests because they are no good on air, never open up and the show is better with past their primers or up & comers who are desperate to be noticed & more likely to spill but when they get someone huge like Gaga, the show can't stop patting themselves on the back & re-air it over & over. Which is it Gary? If getting a Gaga was so great, why not go for more A-listers?

ROBIN'S NEWS
- Is Robin's news, important news or a bit for Howard & company to joke about current events?

DANCING WITH THE ARQUETTE
- Will we get regular "behind the scenes" updates from David Arquette about Dancing With the Stars?
- Will Howard enlist David to get other contestants on the phone (i.e., Chaz Bono)
- Will Howard & Beth sit in the audience & support him? Will Eric the Midget demand tickets to "root for David"?

WHERE'S THE SCHEDULE?
- I missed the 1st hour of a live show this morning. Why can't we get a schedule? Not just to know when Howard is live but also so we don't miss the specials & live off hour shows?

ALL UPCOMING GUESTS MUST READ: SFRT RULES, DIRECTIONS, & INFO

ok, here ya go

Howard can't deal w/ all the 9/11 shows

Sal & Richard sent Howard a big letter in response to last weeks statement that he's going to have to talk to them over their lack of new material

The newlyweird game with Howard & Fred vs Gary & Jon vs Sal & Richard

Fred to Robin

unlike you I try for precision. lets just make shit up as we go along & then deny it when we make a mistake.

Have Sal & Richard slacked off like Howard says?

After playing a Sal & Richard rejected bit a caller tells Howard he thought it was great. Should they bring back the Sal & Richard rejected bits segment?

is "is a know it all" the same as "does not admit when she's wrong"? What is your least favortie quality about Robin?

Who do you least like on the show?

we're the judges feeling pressure from the "oil & vinegar vs vinaigrette" debacle?

IMHO, Howard needed to talk to get JD going / fillin for JD not properly hosting while Robin was actually talking over JD & preventing him from properly hosting.

did howard bully the judge into forcing a win? does he always?

she is an expert on everything & she can't admit when she's wrong

it is not the same thing at all. they may go together but they are 2 distinct things. some might say that fred is an expert on everything but very few would say that he can't admit when he's wrong SO obviously they are not the same thing


for example: kaplan is fat & kaplan does not eat well

these may go together but they are not the same. he could be fat due to an illness or something he inherited. he's not necessarily fat because he eats poorly so there's no way you could say they are the same thing.


it is as bad as when Howard said oil & vinegar is the same as vinaigrette. over the years he's changed history & claimed the answer was oil & vinaigrette vs vinaigrette but what was really said was oil & vinegar. anyone who has every been to a restaurant can tell you that when they read you the available dressings they read each separate as 2 different dressings. vinaigrette is more like Italian dressing than oil & vinegar.
