Dr.Caligari posted:What is the wack packer test and did Riley pass it? It was this thing a listener put together that assigned points for possessing specific traits or descriptions. Howard decided the cutoff for wack packer was anything over 10 points and the maximum I think was 40. Eric had a nearly perfect score and the only thing he (supposedly) failed was making GBS threads his pants as an adult. It was fairly good at doing what it did, actually. Some regulars that were weird but not wack packers couldn't hit 10 points, people you know for a fact are wack packers easily hit the mark. Your prototypical wack packers(Beet, ETM, HPE, Jeff, etc) scored highest and the lesser wack packers scored lower. It's a great bit and Eric gets furious despite being almost the perfect definition of a wack packer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7GO3NhVjvk Crotch Bat fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Nov 10, 2015 |

Yeah, he must have poo poo his pants as an adult. He's wasn't capable of not making GBS threads in his pants without help and I can't imagine those bowels worked well. I supposed he doesn't get the point because he was smart enough not to admit it.

Snark posted:I really get that Howard doesn't want to dress like an old man, but you get to an age where trying to dress super hip makes you look exactly like this picture: wannabe sk8rboi clothes with an old man head screwed on top. How about some sharp high end suits? He's tall and skinny and has access to some top tier tailors. Maybe in his mind "suits" are everything he's battled against in his life but gently caress it, he's already become what he's detested. Might as well look dignified. He wears suits all the time, that's the thing. And yea, he looks fantastic in them. He's just clinging onto what he was and since he has no real friends there's nobody to push him towards dressing his age.

Riosan posted:How terrible. George seems like such a nice guy. Every time George is in, it's like playing to a hot audience because he actually laughs at bits. When Howard and Robin are alone, segments will sometimes feel flat because Howard can't really laugh at his own jokes and Robin just uses laughter as punctuation. When George is added to the mix, he offers genuine feedback that makes the show feel fun. I also love that he's still real and down to Earth, like last Monday revealing that he jerks off instead of having sex with Brad because it's just easier and freely and casually admitting that he was only doing Star Trek conventions before he met them and that it was the that show made people recognize him as George Takei rather than Sulu. I don't drink the George Takei kool-aid enough to follow his silly social media presence or see Allegiance, but I'm a big fan of him on the show.

The Netfix documentary is worth checking out. George never really need the convention money it seems. Back in the early 80s he was a board member of a bank that specialized in supplying the local Asian community with business loans. Seems he made the bulk of his fortune doing that.

Howard: Jeff's would play ANY role. He'd play the ocean, if that was a part. Fred (as Jeff): Atlantic, or Patsific? Howard: Atlantic. Fred: Ok... *WHOOOSH! WHOOOSH* Robin: I wonder what the Pacific would sound like. Fred: *woosh*. ----- Howard: Eric, why do you argue with all of these people on Twitter? Eric: I'm I-rish, we're kno-wn for figh-ting. But I ca-n't fight with my f-ists, so I figh-t with my words. ----- That, to me, is one of the dumbest things ETM has ever said. Like, anyone else saying it could sell it, but not Eric. It's the same sort of thing as how he said he's a method actor, so he wouldn't do gay roles. Uh huh. THAT's why. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Nov 10, 2015 |

He would still look ridiculous, but Howard's posture in that picture is the posture of a broken man. Slumped shoulders, droopy head, not even a hint of a smile... I don't think he'd look nearly as bad if he was standing straight up and had a smile on his face.

I was always frustrated with John Strauss and the other people involved in ETM getting acting work. I know they'd chide him with gay roles, but I think it would have been fun to make him have to give a monologue as an audition. Like, instead of just reading for a three line part, wait for him to insist he was an actor again and go "Okay, give us a performance. We'll email you a list of Shakespearean soliloquies, choose one and we'll audition you next week." Howard grazed this concept when he told someone "No, see, Eric doesn't wanna do any actual hard work or learn his craft or anything", and Eric didn't protest this suggestion because its right. He just wanted to be given things. Should've made him jump some more hoops. It would've been fun to see the little mutant try to come up with reasons he can't do it. I never got the email, this character kills somebody in this play so I won't, ect. ect.

Speaking of being 'method', that whole argument falls apart immediately (because of course it does) when you consider the fact that he played both a landlord and a homeless guy. Did he experiment with both owning property, and not having any to his name? EDIT: I know a lot of people find that Johnny was bad radio when it came to all-things ETM-related, but I actually really hate Gonzo. Like... I get what he's trying to do, but I just can't stand all of the lame (yet successful) attempts at getting Eric all riled up.

I do love that Bob Leftsetz came on and trashed Sirius and their guests. Said the Sirius app was trash, and that Alanis Morissette hadn't had a hit in 15 years and got into "touchy feely crap" and that Christie Brinkley was lying about Uptown Girl being about her.

I actually really liked the Sirius app, and I miss it. It sucked at first, but over time they introduced a lot features that I really liked. As for Uptown Girl, she was the 'Uptown Girl' in the video, and then she married him... I'm not sure how much more proof you could need.
