I was reading another thread a few minutes ago in which someone called Ralph a Fag or something and it got me thinking. Does he call in to the show like he used to? It seemed that Howard used to pick up two to three times a show for old berry face, but, I don't think I have noticed him much lately. Loath him or hate him, Ralph occasionally disagreed with Howard and added a breath of reality, albeit rare. Do you think he is tired of the show as well? Ralph would certainly tell Howard it blows, or, blow Howard, I am never sure which one it is.
I think the tide turned (granted, I haven't listened much since) when Ralph puked all over Beth's $1500.00 guest-room sheets and when he dared to insult Rob Zombie.
With Bobo, Tommy from Malden, and Joey Boots calling in every day to suck Howard's dick, there is just no time for Ralph in 2-3 days worth of new shows.
I still think there was more to it than that. I don't think it was something outrageous like Ralph fucking a houseboy, but I think he did more than just tell Rob Zombie that his music sucked and then puke. I mean it's not like Beth is up at three in the morning doing the laundry. Someone originally from Central America is doing that. My guess is he insulted Beth.
a friend throws up in your house so you ban him? I mean how big is that house? Beth doesn't even cook anymore so she sure as fuck don't clean.. I thought ralph threw it all in the hamper anyway.. its stupid to be personally insulted by a drunk friend throwing up.. very uppity..which I'm thinking is why kelly and mark dumped their pretenscious asses.
I always enjoyed the Ralph calls.... especially in the generally sub-par post-Jackie era. What other regular callers brought as much as Ralph? KOAB maybe.
Going to be contrarian and say that I definitely detect a gay glimmer in Howard's voice just as much as ever when Ralph calls in these days. Good buddy truckers. Very incestual and giddy father-son, bestfriend sort of friendship their. .....And lets be honest, who doesn't have a relationship like that.
