I think this plays into why howard never quits radio. He knows the shows not good and there’s very little effort, but it’s his entire social life & life’s dream wrapped up into it. Without it he’s nothing. As he said he has zero meaningful relationships outside of it
All performers are created out of a warped relationship with one or both parents. They crowdsource the love & attention they couldn’t get at home as a way to deal with it. Howard had his mom’s complete attention, but had mostly none from his dad. He then becomes a performer who chooses radio - the industry his dad worked in - to force his father to acknowledge him. He can’t give it up because it helps him deal with issues he’s always had with his dad.
@@steveknick1978 No, not all performers. Theres so many performers who dont like the fame aspect, they just share the gift they have whether thats being an artist, musician, actor etc.
@@sapphirelatina disagree, but you’re entitled to your opinion. Just look at this show, don’t even step outside that (which we could also do) Howard - father verbally abusive Robin - father physically abusive Fred - biological father abusive Jackie - both parents were alcoholics Gary - mother had mental illness Artie - father was on trial for counterfeiting when he was born Sal - saw his father beat up his mom when he was 6/7 It’s true almost 100% of the time. Joe Rogan has the exact same story as Sal, father beat his mother in front of him at a young age (& Rogan hasn’t talked to him since). These things aren’t a coincidence.
Cant believe Robin has the cure to unhealthy attachments. "You can decide to change it" crazy that no one ever thought of this before. What a revelation. I'm healed.
Howards right that Robin doesn't understand how therapy works. When you face all of your problems it is painful and difficult but its so much brighter on the other side. Robin refuses to have any type of therapy and we all know shes a narcissist so she needs to zip it on this issue.
It sounds like his kids started to rebel against him & blame him for their family falling apart. He says in this clip that it has to do with “family issues”.
