A Public Apology

[FMJeff]

To my beloved family, friends and listeners of the What Show,

I'm sitting here alone in my house. No, Lax, my wife has not left me...she's on a business trip to Philadelphia. The silence has affored me some time to reflect on the past week, and I'd like to take this opportunity to address some concerns I've had this past Friday's show.

It's important for me to lead with this. My wife is an incredibly loyal, honest and compassionate woman and I love her dearly. She has been incredibly patient and gracious enough to allow the dirty laundry of our marraige to be aired for public consumption and I'm just now starting to understand what an awesome responsibility and gift that is. We started this show with a simple premise...that marraige can be ugly and beautiful at the same time...precious and funny and hard and worth fighting for. I'd hate for that to be lost in the muck of my selfishness. It's too important.

Many of you know me personally, and hopefully you find me to be a decent guy and good friend. I am that man sometimes...but lately I've just been a twat...and most dissapointing to me, I have been a remarkable bastard to my wife. I've stepped over the line...way too many times...and for that, I apologize to Missy.

My behavior late last night at Mooch and Pixie's celebration party was an embarassment. I was drunk and rotten and I lashed out at those closest to me in the most irrational and inexcusable ways. I'd like to apologize to Mooch and Pixie for that disrespect. I'd like to apologize to Boater for making him feel uncomfortable....to Mark with a C...to Brian and Kathleen for not living by your example of a truly loving and supportive marraige...to Justjon, who I love but maybe take too many liberties with my humor...to Ron & Fez to whom I've made an ass out of myself all month.

I'm very lucky to know you all. You are good people and I'm honored to call you all friends.

To my wife, I will do better. I have to. I love you.

Aaaaa Big JEFF, humbler then big a!

Admitting when you are wrong is huge. You are a good dude. Wish you the best, always pal.

[PanterA]

Does this apology apply to Fred from Brooklyn as well?

I think he should be on the list Jeff.

No, I don't think I'm inclined to apologize for being insulted when a man ridicules my wife.
I'll be honest. I'm tired of the back and forth...maybe he is too, I don't know. When he sees fit to cease the verbal jabs against me and the women in my life, friend and family alike, I'll be more than happy to live my life pretending he never existed.

[Don Stugots]

Jeff,
It takes a big man to own up to his mistakes and try to make up for it. I have always enjoyed your company and your humor. I do not know what you are going through but if you need some help, I'm here for you.

[FMJeff]

No no, I'm not like depressed or anything. I'm just frequently a douche to people I like/love and I should stop being a jackass.

[Don Stugots]

Oh well then, stop being a jackass and douche to the people that you like/love. I don't feel sorry for you now.

[~Katja~]

if this is about re-gifting your fondue pot... you really don't need to apologize

[Marc with a c]

good for you jeffy. good luck.

i have no idea why you apologized to me.

[smiler grogan]

It is a very positive thing to admit fault as long as its done sincerely and not to just smooth over a situation. I don't know you or Missy personally but I am a fan of the Hvac show so i have heard the interaction and i do sense that you both like the abrasive nature of it. So if you are being truly sincere and not working everyone (like you have admitted on your show you do) then good for you if not well it will be interesting for your listeners i guess.

[Enabler]

I was so drunk by the end of the show Friday that all I remember is being very uncomfortable and thinking to myself that I must listen to this show next week.

[Freakshow]

bump for ronnie.

[TheMojoPin]

No no, I'm not like depressed or anything. I'm just frequently a douche to people I like/love and I should stop being a jackass.

[DOHO@HOME]

Are you like that everytime you drink?
If you are maybe you should try the sober life for awhile.
I know it has worked for me so far going on two years in March.

[IrishAlkey]

You should've made this a poll to get a good idea of how many people forgive you.

Pee in my butt would be in the lead.

[LAX]

having traveled the road of the person who gets drunk and acts like a complete asshole regularly, I know where your coming from.....

[King Hippos Bandaid]

[IWOWedGregBrady]

fwiw, I now have renewed interest in The What Show :)

[FMJeff]

good for you jeffy. good luck.

i have no idea why you apologized to me.

I was teasing you about you know what...it was dickish of me.

[Tenbatsuzen]

You've never been a dick to me, Jeff. Even drunk.

I'm looking forward to the next show.

[FMJeff]

I'm usually a fun drunk, i was just a hassle that night. had way too much.

[Marc with a c]

I was teasing you about you know what...it was dickish of me.

i honestly don't even remember what you're talking about, but i'll take the apology since you're giving them out.

[hammersavage]

He made fun of you for saying you would totally do a post-op tranny and a few 'soft lookin' pre-ops. I thought it took courage myself.

[Marc with a c]

the statement above my statement is false.

[west milly Tom]

He did or he would?

[hammersavage]

Oh hi daadddy

[IrishAlkey]

i honestly don't even remember what you're talking about, but i'll take the apology since you're giving them out.

He said you spelled your name with a 'k'... don't accept his apology.

[Slumbag]

I thought this was "A pubic apology", and Jeff was finally gonna apologize for the RGF reaction video.

[TheMojoPin]

I thought this was "A pubic apology", and Jeff was finally gonna apologize for the RGF reaction video.

Or it was an apology for the segment of last week's show on the grooming and maintenance of Jeff's wild garden.

[Marc with a c]

He said you spelled your name with a 'k'... don't accept his apology.

Where's your sorry for not attending thread?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Or it was an apology for the segment of last week's show on the grooming and maintenance of Jeff's wild garden.

You didn't mention it was the back garden, not the front.

That was the part where Liz started sobbing and curled up into the fetal position.

[PanterA]

That was the part where Liz started sobbing and curled up into the fetal position.I thought that was shortly after the "I do's" :king: burn!!!

[IrishAlkey]

Where's your sorry for not attending thread?

In my defense we were going.

I woke up the wife at 9pm, she stared at me, and rolled over on the couch.

Rinse and repeat at 11pm...

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry I have a wife.

[Marc with a c]

you should be.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I thought that was shortly after the "I do's" :king: burn!!!

did you just use an emoticon and congratulate yourself on a "burn" in a post?

[TheMojoPin]

You didn't mention it was the back garden, not the front.

That was the part where Liz started sobbing and curled up into the fetal position.

And he has "horns."

Ye Gads.

[PanterA]

did you just use an emoticon and congratulate yourself on a "burn" in a post?yup.

[Tenbatsuzen]

yup.

Just making sure.

[IrishAlkey]

you should be.

In bed I call her Silera with a c...

[jauble]

In bed I call her Silera with a c...

[FMJeff]

im still waiting for an apology for the RGF jingle.

[Freitag]

im still waiting for an apology for the RGF jingle.

sign up... log on...

[Enabler]

I think the good people at Sears Auto Center are still waiting for their apology.

[~Katja~]

I'm usually a fun drunk, i was just a hassle that night. had way too much.

puking all over on the way home is considered fun?

I guess I already left when you went off at the party, I thought you were a fun drunk the few times we chatted about wedding gifts and having kids...

[Don Stugots]

I'm from China:

We are still waiting sir.

[Fred from Brooklyn]

My behavior late last night at Mooch and Pixie's celebration party was an embarassment. I was drunk and rotten and I lashed out at those closest to me in the most irrational and inexcusable ways.


Damn...I always leave too early at these things.

[CYYYFYYY]

Takes a big man to say you are sorry. Very impressive. OF course to correct the problem and not let it happen again is even harder. I met you a few times and you come across as a great guy so I worry not
