Is our Master spinning out of control?

[zyzzyva57]

Master Cramer's appearance on MSNBC's "Imus in the Morning" Friday (8/18/06) was scary

If you have caught Cramer on "Meet the Press" and on "Imus," then you know when he is not playing a mad man on TV, he is sharp, but on his Friday appearance, he and the The Trading Goddess seem to be heading for a divorce

What sadden me is Cramer seemed so utterly burned out or is close to having already spun out, and then Friday, his show was another repeat

I understand this is vacation time, but I do not have a good feeling things are well with Cramer--he comes back Tue and is gone again?

I wish I could post a site so you could hear Cramer this Friday

If you respect Cramer as I do, then I thought you might like this update

Something ain't right in "CramerLand" and it saddens me

Haven't been paying much attn to Cramer or stocks lately. I've been too busy, but I wish him the best. He's taught me a lot since about 2002. So I have nothing but thanks. If the show is what is causing a rift I hope he takes a break and comes back in full force.

I am amazed more has not been made about this scary Fri appearance

Imus at first was joking, but I have watched him enough to know he was hearing something scary, because he has totally backed off

On the Monday show, Master Cramer alluded several times to "issues" that meant nothing unless you heard Cramer Friday

I, too, have learned much from him, and I hope I am, indeed, over-hearing him

But...

Is it possible to get a link to a Podcast of this Imus show?

[zyzzyva57]

I checked over the weekend MSNBC, hoping it had a rebroadcast of that segment at 6:30 and did not see it listed

You might "Google" and see if some site has it

A Cramer fan really needs to hear that show

It was sad

We see him like a waterbug on speed

I confess for tv stars, I really could care less; however, I genuinely like Cramer...Did you notice all those little comments he made on his Monday show that seem so innocent and fun Cramer? For example, his lonely weekend? Lithium aside comments? Et cetera. If you can find an audio of Imus, then you, too, will be concerned--If you find a podcast of the show, be sure and post it--I wonder if YouTube.com has it? I think NBC may have deep 6 the show. Imus, Monday, did not even mention the Friday Cramer segment, which is weird, because Imus loves to get guests to self-destruct or stick their foot in their mouths and them yipe it up for weeks afterward. I can still see Imus when he realized Cramer was on the edge. Imus stopped being a smart ass. I am surprised his many enemies on Wall Street has not flooded the web with this segment.

Not everything is the way it should be. I feel bad about it. Things are fine.
I spend a lot of time [working]. Doesn't make it great.

Imus: Are you getting a divorce?

Hey Jim, good luck, we all wish you the best.

EXCELLENT!! With the silence about this appearance, I was beginning to imagine I was hearing things

Thanks for the update

[madcowdisease]

Thanks MadMoneyMachine. Good find.

Where can you see if a show will be a repeat or a new show?

[zyzzyva57]

MSNBC "Imus in the Morning" does not repeat shows, and certainly not this show

Your best bet is the audio version listed above where WFAN (radio) repeats and NBC does not control

[Diviner]

I imagine Imus is not gonna bring this up again, with Cramer being a fellow NBC guy.

When Imus just asked Cramer point blank if he was getting a divorce, Cramer didn't say no at all! He was just like wow.. holy cow! That's not a good sign.

I think it's sad that Cramer is jeopardizing his family life over some one-hour TV show. It's one thing to go overboard when you're basically single-handedly managing $500 million at a hedge fund. That's at least understandable. But a silly TV show where you tout a few stocks per day.. come on. There's just something wrong with the guy.

[zyzzyva57]

As a regular Imus viewer, trust me, he will trash NBC biggest in a heartbeat

No, what just the audio from the show does not reveal is Imus' reaction when he realized he saw our Master hurting Big Time

If this had been some People Magazine star or some whore politician, Imus and gang would have piled on and yapped it up for days about the on-the-air self-destruction

I honestly think Cramer's audience would be perfectly satisfied if he would just come out nightly, pull up a stool, and pass on his hard bought Wisdom--basically screw his picks per se...The real Cramer on "Meet the Press" and Imus works fine in serious mode

I watch Cramer for his Wisdom and observations about Wall Street, because no one else provides this--NO ONE!!!

I honestly fear one day we will awake to his obit and that is so sad

Something is profoundly wrong in CramerLand and Imus sensed that, too
