I don't let people with hacking coughs into my house, alas at work I don't have a lot of control over who understands the basic concept "Stay home if you're sick you fuckhead" so I have more draconian policies in place.

And I don't really care if they touch my couch anyway because I'm not likely to accidentally put my couch in my mouth.

My girlfriend's supervisor abused her sick time so badly in the past that they didn't let her go home yesterday even though she was puking in the office. They wanted a doctor's note and she didn't have the $20 for the co-pay. Of course turns out today she stayed home anyways because her daughter has loving whooping cough.

This is a civil service job, by the way, so I cannot imagine how badly she had to gently caress up to get put in that situation.

I always wondered - what do germophobes think will happen to them if they come into contact with the unwashed masses without immediately cleansing themselves? Us normies who shake hands and then vigorously rub our own eyeballs right after aren't keeling over dead by the thousand, hell I never even get sick. Do you worry that you have weak immune systems? Or is it more of an illogical fear where you don't really have reasoning behind it, you just feel icky until you clean yourself?

I don't think I'm actually a proper germophobe, I don't carry Purell or anything with me. So I don't know exactly. I don't like having dirty hands (like, grime/dirt) but I don't have any OCD traits or anything.

It's mostly because the sicknesses I catch at work are so foreign to my immune system's base of experience due to the international nature of my industry -- colds always end up being 4 weeks of the worst cold ever. So I'm just extra-conscious about keeping my hands clean at work, and I can see why Howard is like this too due to meeting people who have been Everywhere the last week, but he is much further down the Howard-Hughes scale than I ever will be.

I just gargle with alcohol based mouthwash as soon as I get home from dealing with people all day. Any more than that is overkill since my understanding is that most communicable illnesses take a few days of growing in damp warm places (i.e. mouth, sinuses) to reproduce to a high enough number to effect your system.

That could all be bullshit, but it seems to make a difference.

I was impressed when Howie Mandel came on and first talked about his OCD. The part where he used so much hand sanitizer that his skin's natural bio-defenses were destroyed and his hands got covered with warts, drat. :barf:

I don't remember if that was the same appearance, but he once followed Jonah Falcon as a guest. (Jonah Falcon is famous for having an enormous penis, and he had been swinging it around with his hands before leaving and touching the same doorknob that Howie would have to touch to leave.) I laughed, but felt sorry for Howie at the same time.

Hypothetical question time:

Medical science discovers that the oils secreted by Eric the Midget's hands are able to cure all know diseases, including cancer.

The cruel twist is that the only working transfer method is by direct prolonged exposure to a patient's tongue. So you would have to suck on those glistening turkey fingers for at least a full fifteen minutes for the treatment to be effective.


Would you do it, or would you rather just die?

You were listening to a "Best Of" segment (e.g. "This Day in Howard Stern Show History", "Stern Show Shuffle", and other variations).

Barring vacation, the show will only be live on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday (Wednesday often excluded of late due to "America's Got Talent").

I dunno what kind of receiver you have, but I have a full display model that shows detailed information about what's playing on a particular channel, so I can see the original air date of whatever they're playing. The Benjy stuff was like three years ago so I noticed immediately. I think I've seen ones that only show the channel name like terrestrial radio, so I can see how you'd be confused.

I'm using the smartphone app. I started to figure out something was wrong when i saw the label "The Satellite Years".

No biggie though. I could listen to old stuff all day also. Whats the best place to look to find out if a show will be new or a repeat?

People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.
I was listening to one of those giant 9 hour Richard compilations, and at one point they brought drums in studio specifically so he could play Hot For Teacher. He's playing it pretty much perfectly (since the album version is several overdubs, he's playing it as well as you can play it live), and Howard and Robin are just going "Yeah I dunno what he's playing, but it's not Hot For Teacher..." Then Sal comes in to (horribly) play bass and it goes off the rails. Even before that, Richard is playing a pretty sweet drum solo, and Howard's only comment is "Man, I hate cymbals. I like drums better without cymbals."

Speaking of Richard's "music". A couple of years back I was able to find a copy of that Sounds from a Haunted Cemetery CD that he said he used to listen to to fall asleep.

It's fun to listen to during Haloween season to get one's self into the mood.

He's such a goddamn monster on the kit. One of Howard's main gripes was that since CWOTD isn't going to make a billions dollars and be the biggest band in the world, why even try or record an album at all? He was pretty impressed with Richard's skill though. I usually get Ralph's whole trolling persona but I actually got pissed when he was busting on Richard's drumming. The guy picks out clothes for a living for gently caress's sake.
