Sixtieslibber | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 10:13 pm  Enormous thanks to Angel_Of_Music for transcribing "Eddie on the Dan and Scott Show." Scott: Yea we have to ask you about. We got a lot of emails there was uh a scene on the Big Brother show where you wanted to clothesline Jamie. Eddie: Oh yea. Scott: Like you were sitting at the table and you want to uh. Eddie: Choke hold her man. Dan: I just want to say for the record that I'm the only one out of Scott, Jamie and me. I was the only one watching it and I said right on Eddie. *Dan laughing* Eddie: I appreciate that. Thanks man. Scott: I was just wondering. Well, a lot of people are wondering what did you mean by that. Were you just goofing around or. Eddie: No man I just sat there and I just had this chemical imbalance in my head that said put your forearm to her esphoagus now and hard. Scott: Really? Now was it because she uh pissed you off or something, or was it...... Eddie: I don't know man I just felt like dropping her to the floor. Dan: Was it the fumes from her make-up (Trying to save Eddie from his own answer) Eddie: I don't know what is was man. |
Winnie | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 10:27 pm  Oy vey...hasn't there been enough discussion of this already? I think everyone already said how they felt on the subject. |
Tishala | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 01:16 am  Wow. He's even more despicable than i thought! |
Casper | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 04:20 am  WoW what a guy. "I don't know man. I just felt like I wanted to drop her." Now that's a good reason! "cause I felt like it man." Why didn't he want to knock the S*it out of Curtis? Or George? Or Mega! Now there would be a reason to "clothsline" someone. There would be some "chemical Imbalance" there, wouldn't you think? Eddie--Dude, you are a MORON! You couldn't even make up a good reason except "I had a FLASH of chemical imbalance right then." |
Judy | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 05:11 am  You really have to listen to the show to get the context - seeing it typed out like that changes everything He was being funny as usual. |
Doc99 | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 05:19 am  Personally, I think enough excuses have been made for Eddie's so-called sense of humor. |
Rmgreco | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 10:00 am  I totally agree Judy!! How many detractors actually listened to it??? In print it looks totally different then how it was said in jest!! |
Kalihiwahine | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 10:08 am  When this subject first came up, I really THOUGHT Eddie was just playing around and that is what I posted... but now after reading the transcript... Scott actually asked him if he was goofing around and he said no...he didn't know what it was...how did he EVER come up with this "chemical imbalance" stuff.. there are so many people who write about eddie being so honest....i think he really was being "honest" in this case... |
Judy | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 10:27 am  Everyone THINKS about doing things they never would. I am not making excuses for anyone - I just don't have the gall to condemn anyone for thinking or having the desire to do something. After being around Jamie for 3 months- I bet I would have thought about doing much worse to her than clostheslining her. She irked the hell out of me - and I wasn't stuck in an 1800 square foot space with her. I have THOUGHT about cracking my 17 year old daughter across the mouth and kicking my husband in the nuts...am I a child/spousal abuser? Or just human? |
Shmoopie | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 10:49 am  Good points Judy. I was thinking along those exact same lines, and I agree completely with you. I know things have slipped out of my mouth before, such as "I'm going to kill you" to a friend who has ticked me off beyond belief, but did I ever really think about doing that? NO. I mean, granted, I'm no , but hey... I'm not a murderer either! Eddie, you and I are all just humans... just like everyone else.... |
Notbored | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 11:05 am  Amazing how people can keep coming up with excuses for nasty behavior on Eddie's part...first he was just having fun. Now, well, maybe he wasn't just having fun but if that's the case and he was being nasty it's all Jamie's fault and we all have bad moments. He's a jerk. He won and that's fine...but I do wish people would quit trying to defend indefensible behavior. |
Majic | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 11:52 am  Thinking and threatening are two different things. If I threatened to hit someone and took a swing at them just stopping short of hitting them and then said how much I wanted to hit them, that would be considered abuse. I thought so then and I think it more now. Mental abuse is real too. |
Dina | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 12:08 pm  My god, If one person was paid one dollar for every stupid thing I said or did or pretend or think about that one person would probably be rich right now... People think stuff all the time, Eddie just acted it out, so lets get on with people. |
Elisa | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 12:37 pm  Judy, I've had those feelings but I don't even think that's what Eddie was talking about. I've had overwhelming urges to do really stupid stuff before that there is no explanation for. ie My husband and I were once laying on opposite ends of the couch. We were watching a movie and were nice and cozy and friendly. I had the huge urge to bite his calf and told him so, but he told me that I'd better not do it. I had to flip around on the couch because with his leg right there, I couldn't even concentrate on the movie. All I could think about was biting his leg. I think that's the feeling that Eddie had and there's absolutely no reason for it except maybe boredom and wanting to liven things up. Maybe that's what was going on with me. The movie was boring and maybe I just wanted to do something totally off the wall to break the boredom. |
Dancer1966 | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 12:40 pm  LOL! I loved Eddie's explanation! I wish I could have heard it live because I'm sure the exchange was quite amusing. Eddie is raw and that's one of the things I always liked about him. |
Ångel_Of_Music | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 12:49 pm  Listen, I heard the WHOLE inteview and since I'm the one that transcribed it I think I should have a say on this subject. First off, Eddie seemed VERY uncomfortable during this question. He didn't really want to answer it at all. He was being honest and he was NOT joking around at all. He just said that he felt this urge to do the clothesline hold on Jamie but not in a smartass way. He felt it and he admits it. That should be the end of the story. Secondly, Judy is right you have to hear what he says in order to interpret the transcription fully. However, he did NOT laugh nor did he seem very happy about this whole situation. He was as uncomfortable with it as he was with the Monica questioning. It's over so let him live his life for himself. Do I STILL adore Eddie? The answer to this is yes. Do I think his actions during this scene was right? No, but I am not Eddie and in order to evaluate what I like about a person I judge the good and bad aspects. Also, as far as my judgement is concerned, I do NOT think he would have hurt Jamie. He has far more good qualities that redeem him in my eyes. For someone to take what I transcribed and use it against him is just plain mean. Let the damn clothesline subject rest once and for all. Let's not have 600 more posts on this whole mess.

Suziebird7 | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 01:59 pm  I also listened to the interview live and agree that Eddie wasn't joking. He seemed very serious about it and maybe even a little confused about his own feelings/motivations in the incident. "I don't know what that was man." He didn't follow through and do it. End of story. |
Mbliving | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 03:28 pm  Poster number 18. Only 582 more to go. Sorry, couldn't resist. Agree with Angel of Music. |
Peachy | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 09:25 pm  I agree with those that said that Eddie was not joking. I listened to the interview...he definitely didn't sound like he was joking to me. Now, I'm an Eddie fan. Nothing will change that. I may love the guy, but I can't stand some of the things he says and does. But, like NOTBORED posted earlier, we should not make excuses for his bad behaviour. When he said he thought he was suffering a chemical imbalance, he sounded totally serious and even a little bewildered. He was not joking,IMO. |
Harmonica | Monday, October 09, 2000 - 09:30 pm  Also he keeps saying that thousand curses does not rip a shirt. I think thousand curses hurt a lot. When somebody says F88k to me or near me, I get sick. somebody who talks to Denise will you please tell them that it may not rip a shirt, but it hurts more deeply. |
Twofacedjamie | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 01:46 pm  Who cares anymore? It's over and done with. Get over it. |
Karuuna | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 02:12 pm  Harmonica - I agree with you. A philosophy professor of mine once asked the class if anyone had ever broken an arm or leg. About 75% raised a hand. He asked them to keep their hands raised if it still hurt. Except for one person (who was currently in a cast) every hand went down. Then he asked if anyone had ever been hurt by something someone said. He asked us to keep our hands raised if it still hurt 5 years later, 10 years later, 15 years later. Slowly, some hands went down-- mostly the hands of the younger students first. At 15 years, 7 out of 30 students still had their hands raised. The demonstration really impressed upon me how very powerful words can be. I neither despise nor love Eddie, I think he's an all right fellow. I do give think he deserves allowance for having and even expressing an ugly thought, and credit for not acting on it. I hope that one day he'll gain the maturity to realize the pain such comments cause and the ability to show some remorse over such things. |
