I don't think I've ever heard a less convincing ad than Howard's Xbox reads. The way he reads from the page in monotone and pretends to be amazed by the visuals, it's ridiculous.

I wonder if they still pay the same rate whether or not Howard acts like he gives a poo poo about the product. Also, does Microsoft really need to advertise the Xbox on the show? Who doesn't already know about the thing by now?

Sal's drinking really sounds out of control. I wonder if Howard will step in and do something especially what has happened in the past with other addict co-workers (Artie).

When Artie got violent, he was an actual threat to others. Isn't Sal an incredible weakling? I remember Richard almost drowning him in a toilet without hardly trying.

Richard just likes to drink and works out and manages his weight and is happy and Howard knows he has a problem because of that.

Nah, Richard definitely has a drinking problem. He sounds like a functioning alcoholic and it was even detrimental to his health at one point when he came down with gout.

Drinking 2-4 bottles of champagne on a flight from FL to NYC after mixing cocktails in an airport bathroom doesn't sound right.

I am more than willing to go out and do champagne breakfast but I wouldn't even do that.

From some of the stories he would tell, she is a pretty big boozer as well.
I mean, if you had to go to a hotel and get tucked in by Elves with your 40 year old husband wouldnt you drink too?

This is wholly unsurprising but you just don't hear the insane alcoholic stories you used to, either. Of course that doesn't mean they aren't happening but he honestly just doesn't appear to booze quite as hard as he used to, it's not like that would be some shocking thing.

The story he told on Monday was downright pathetic on how addicted to liquor he is. I love Richard but the dude has a huge drinking problem.

Ugh, that looks terrible. You can totally see the shoddy photoshopping now. Howard's neck and Beth's stomach are both totally smoothed and check out where the bottom of Beth's belly shirt meets her left arm. And did Howard not clean all the lipstick off before taking the second picture? It looks like he smeared it all over his face.

Also, how can it be "Photo by Howard" when he's IN the photo? Shouldn't it be "Photo by Someone Else, Horrific Photoshopping by Howard"?

Look at his jacket in the photo on the right. He placed a white box over the photo where it says photos by Howard and then he messed up photoshopping it on his sleeve.

I've only started listening to Stern again in the past month or so, does he

1) Have any comedians on anymore besides Joan Rivers and Lisa Lampanelli?
2) Have comedians (or anybody else, for that matter), sit in on the news?

I really miss that aspect of the show. While I still enjoy listening (there seems to be a memorable bit once a week, ie; I'm a big turtle whose pregnant and Ronnie's Christmas tips), you can really tell they're on autopilot at this point.

No. That extra time where the comedian is being funny during the tail-end of the show may cause the show to run until 10:05.

When I think of Dice - especially in the context of the Stern show - all I can think of is Jackie yelling "Hi-Ho Silverstein" at him.
