Very strange for sure. There are several things regarding the Robin mystery that I can't figure out. Hopefully we will get some answers soon. One thought that comes to mind is that the secrecy is all part of the Stern/Buchwald plan to draw maximum attention to Robin. Use the illness to garner curiosity from the fans in an attempt to increase book sales. Marbles come first, always.

Well this week they can avoid it!
and I think they will be off the week she is due to rise from the ashes.
"W..www....we have not had time to talk about it (caller who got thru screeners) we've been off! But I have been WORKING on AGT!!!"

Stern will start promoting a "grand return of robin quivers" and start telling us some bullshit stories manufactured to sell books. Stern will have as much of an impact as he does on movies these days.

The complete silence and apparent ban on talking about Robin was really obvious earlier this week. One of the shows Shuli is on (I think it was Jay Thomas on Friday) did a story about people who love coffee enemas. Normally he can't keep his mouth shut so I was expecting him to crowbar in a lame joke about Robin but he didn't mention her or even say a word about it. Very strange.

Robin will not make any personal appearances. If she does any promotion it will be a remote from her apartment. She will not talk about her illness. Howard would be furious if she scooped the radio show.

Doesn't make sense since this entire new world of secrets at Howard's compound has done more to ruin the goodwill Howard had with his fans than anything else I can think of. Just think of SFN as an example of the response.

Of course, Howard hasn't made a good career move since deciding to come to Sirius so who knows what cockamamie ideas count as strategy at 112 Productions.

I would agreed with that this was the default behavior this before Howard let his homegrown Techno-Beaver take his techno show onto Nerdist (hey, is he still doing that?) but not now. He may not want the scoop (not that many care any longer) to benefit the company he's suing.

The Vegucation of Robin - Book Publicity Schedule:

March 26th - Today Show or Dateline (NBC)
March 27th - Entertainment Tonight (CBS)

April 2nd - In-person appearance @ Enoch Pratt Library (Baltimore, MD)


The April 2nd appearance is especially interesting because it's "in-person" on a Tuesday when the Stern Show should normally be live on the air. How could she justify traveling to Baltimore if she's supposedly not well enough to be in the studio?

I don't buy the house arrest theory but I'm starting to wonder if Robin is not allowed in the Sirius building for some reason. I just can't imagine what it could be.

Maybe she went on a poo flinging rampage in the lobby?

The bitch just doesn't want to get her ass into the studio anymore. She's not sick, IMO. She'll probably just make her book appearances, Howard will discuss them but nothing else about her not being at work will ever be mentioned. They got away with the silence for this long and they'll simply continue it.

she might have just thrown one of her tantrums, and said she can't deal with so-and-so or such-and-such anymore. they've always had the ISDN lines at their houses, and i doubt howard would ever put his foot down about anything in his current state. he probably just let her do it from her house rather than fight her or lose her completely. it may be something as simple as her inner uppity lazy nigger surfacing.

Here's a crazy theory.

Suppose she's been dieting all these months just to make a grand re-appearance to promote her book?

Unlikely, but that makes as much sense as all the other theories.

[MutteringJohn]

Do you really think Howard wants a disembodied voice for his HTV show. He hasn't signed off on this. He's dealing with it but that doesn't mean he's happy about it.

I don't think that's a crazy theory at all. I think its a very likely scenario.
