I’m curious if any of you know why Robert stopped coming to the show or if it was ever mentioned and I missed it along the way?
Offline
I didn't hear it mentioned, except for Tay saying that he was coming back on soon. His mom was battling Alzheimer's I believe, I just assumed he was busy with his Mom.

Yeah Taylor just said he would be coming back soon. He was mentioned during a surprise me topic of the day. I think someone asked about him and she just said he would be back soon.

Ah thanks! I thought maybe he decided he wasn’t going to come in anymore for just five minutes of air time.

But doesn't his mom live in FL? I think he just got bored. What did he do? Come on and scream?
I mean don't get me wrong, I liked him and I love his IG....but I think it was just another missed opportunity by T to pull in a fashion segment. She was like oh look, its rv! what do you hate today? How about who did you dress recently? I have XX body type help me? What are future trends? I could go on and on!

I agree it got to a weird place. The segment could have been so much more. But I think they recently moved his mom to NY, so I'm sure that took some time and logistics. And before that, he was down in FL almost every weekend with her, so Monday mornings were a hard time for him.

Seriously! I really enjoyed him, minus when he only got three minutes to yell about what he hated. I just think he was such an interesting guy, with great stories, and they definitely could have had a segment for him.

I really missed him. Although the screaming into the mic was the worst part, he made me laugh out loud most of the time especially when he was making fun of the Kardashians. (On a side note: why would ANYONE want to come to any radio show regularly-in person- especially in NYC for only 15 minutes?? Wouldn’t the traffic alone make you want to poke your eyes out? At least Wider phoned it in!)
Offline
That’s what I never understood, I feel like he only ever got 8 min and that was max. Sometimes he would come in and rattle off 8 things he hates within three minutes and be gone. Perhaps they led him on with more time or perhaps he had other things to do in the building or perhaps he happened to walk by while going to an bon pain 😂 stealing coffee and such!

I agree, all- I loved Robert Verdi and he should have had a longer, better segment. The guy is hilarious and knows so much cool pop culture, fashion, celebrity stuff. Just another example of awesome people and segments getting wasted and ruined (still pissed about Morning Men, can ya tell?) so that more time could be spent on talking about the same old shit everyday. I don't get it.....
Offline
I loved him too and the Au Bon Pain thing cracked me up. He could totally carry his own show.

I still CANT BELIEVE Taylor didn't reach out to him before choosing her dress for the VMAs or MTV awards..I can't remember now but that was so surprising why wouldn't she consult with him!!!?!?!?

RV had shows in the late 90s'early 2000s. He has lived so much life and known so many interesting people and the fashion! I always wondered why he wasn't asked about much. I'm assuming because she never cared to really know him. He perhaps could have done a whole fashion/dish segment but maybe that would have overshadowed the resident fashionista........

Ha! Yeah she didn't want to be shown up or told she can't play with the big boys!
