During the tour A boat we were passing was pointed out to belong to Phil Donahue.. After the tour we were walking back to the car when I spotted the boat and Phil was on the deck.. I walked over and struck up a conservation complimenmting him on the boat and pretending I didn't recognize him from TV. We chatted a couple minutes about the harbor and the nice weather, and then I said I had to go because my mom was waiting and left the dock.. It was my second time meeting a celebrity since I quite literally ran into Eddie Murphy in 1986 when I was 10 years old... And I do mean literally.. So kids never run in an airport you never know who might be helping you off the floor after a collision.. lol

Oh really? Why did Phil Donahue have a boat here in Boston harbor? I dont know if I have ever met, run into, or talked to any celebrity. Not that I care about such things. For awhile I talked online w someone who has a family relationship to a big time celeb. As a kid Aerosmith lived 4 houses up from me for awhile. That was after they first made some money. But I didnt care. A friend who was 2 years older than me went to their house all the time. He was into their music. The Aquinos lived on the next street for awhile. But he went back to Philipines and got assasinated. Later she was President. Actor James Remar lived on next street as a kid. He was older than me, I didnt know him. I think a couple of my older siblings knew him. I had been to Tom Brady's house a few times, and Bob Kraft's (they pretty much lived back to back).. But never met them.

I was somewhat surprised to see Mark Summers on this list. The rest, I don’t really have any huge opinions on. Rush was better at his political radio show than doing any kind of sports thing.

OCD is a medical condition that is part of the neurodiverse family of conditions that includes ADHD and autism.

Weather it is having to do something a special number of times, or having to do a curtain activity every time they enter a room, or not being able to leave a room without reciting the pledge of allegence or anything really. I have a friend who has to touch each corner in her apartment before she leaves home. When she is on the phone only at work she looks at the key pad and spell the persons name using the numbers and as she hangs up the phone the cord must be perfectly straight with no tangles. When she first arrives in her office she must take off her outside shoes and make sure they are lined up perfectly on the floor and they must be level (she has shag carpet in het office, she has worn out the carpet next to where she puts her shoes from trying to make them flat and perfectly lined up) I feel bad she feels bad.

If people are wondering why Billy Bush is number one, it’s probably because his firing seemed like an overreaction since he merely laughed at the joke; he didn’t actually _make_ the joke. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the people who fired him later voted for Trump.

[@nzr4674]

Billy Bush's firing was one of the most unjust things in my opinion. He laughed nervously to humor Trump, so, he gets FIRED & the PIG'S elected president? Really unfair, if, you're asking me.

If we're getting technical, Jeremy Clarkson didn't get fired, his contract was up for renewal anyway, so they just didn't renew it, that's why James and Richard were able to leave at the same time

Correct. And I don't believe it was actually a punch in the face requiring hospitalization - more a shove, hand in the face in frustration. (I think he'd been driving a ridiculous vehicle for 13 hours... Still not an excuse - but hardly 'aggravated assault'.)

The Jeremy Clarkson thing really made me mad, Top Gear was a fantastic show and they cancelled it over a disagreement over a steak

[@emu071981]

The assault and battery over the steak was the metaphorical straw that broke the camel's back. Outside of Top Gear (and you could certainly argue during Top Gear), he was a absolute self-important asshole to everyone with plenty of allegations of sexual harassment, assault and battery against him that were either ignored or suppressed. Don't get me wrong, I thought Top Gear was a awesome show but Jeremy Clarkson killed it through his actions and the show that they have on Prime Video doesn't really live up to what Top Gear was.

Julie Chen Moonves left "The Talk" after her husband, CBS CEO Les Moonves , was fired due to sexual harassment allegations. Chen had bee an avid supporter of the "Me Too" movement, but when it cam to her husband being the one being accused, Chen did an about face and accused the woman who made the accusation against her husband of being a liar. Co-Host Sharon Osborne was quick to reply to Chen by saying, unless you were there, you don't know what happened. An obviously furious Chen then announced, "we need to go to break," and when the show came back on the air, Chen had walked out on the show. She did not return, but made a pre-recorded farewell for The Talk audience. Chen then changed her professional name to Julie Chen Moonves, and she remained as host of another CBS show, the reality show "Big Brother," which ironically is filmed in the adjoining studio where "The Talk" is filmed.
