Don’t Just Shove It In.

I kind of love that Ronnie’s a main player in Bonus Show clips. Mostly because I kind of love Ronnie.
I first met Ronnie a couple years ago at a strip club. Before you jump to conclusions, I was there on a date! Not to dance! Wait, I’m not sure if I saved my rep there. Point being, Lonnie set up this amazing evening with Ronnie and Richie Wilson. The first hour Ronnie and I spent together consisted of him tirelessly trying to get me wasted. It wasn’t pretty. But as the night went on, I sort of grew to adore him. I’m here to tell you that the gruff Ronnie I’d known from the show for many years has a softer side. He might kill me for writing that, but I’m banking on the fact that he’s not so into computers and I doubt he’s an avid blog reader. Anyway, much like it was weird to walk into my first day on the job and see Richard Christy naked, it’s also weird for me to watch Ronnie give anal sex tips, such as the profound “don’t just shove it in” suggestion he gives on this week’s episode of The Bonus Show.
Also notable on this episode (besides the fact I was having a great hair day) is that February’s Miss Howard TV, Danielle Marziano, declared Jon Hein the sexiest staffer. I feel this needs further debate, so wanted to put it out to you guys. Who do YOU think is the sexiest Stern staffer? Howard doesn’t count. Cause if you’re a chick who listens, he’s clearly entered your sexual fantasies on more than one occasion and he could not possibly lose. So, for fairness, he must be excluded.
One more thing before I go. I have a bone to pick with Will. On this episode of The Bonus Show, after he beats the shit out of JD, he says he only picks fights with people he knows he can beat up; JD and women. Just FYI, I could SO take you Will. Name the time and place. And emotionally prepare for the ramifications of having a chick kick your butt.
Alright, that’s it for this week. I want voting on this poll! Seriously- who do you think is the sexiest Stern staffer? We need to hammer this out. For science. Do your civic duty and rock the vote.

There’s a side effect to working for Howard Stern, and I’ll tell you what it is. I’m slowly devolving back to adolescence. And I need you to understand my background to get what a serious departure this is from the Rachel Fine of yesteryear. Pre-Sterniverse, I was working as a VP in corporate America. I was all business suits and boardrooms. I wouldn’t have even dared to put a picture of me drinking a beer on my facebook. Fast forward a year and I have actually said the word “cockyoke” on national television. I am seriously in an alternate universe.
And it’s one thing to read words off a teleprompter that regularly horrify my father. But it’s all together another thing when it starts seeping into my brain and impacting my everyday life. In the corporate world, I would have called this “taking the office home with me”.
Let me give you some examples. I can no longer walk past a fruit stand without giggling at the way the melons and bananas are unintentionally positioned together. And when I noticed my cashier’s last name was Buttz, I’ll be damned if I could keep a straight face. And just last weekend, I was enjoying dinner at a VERY nice restaurant with Richie Wilson & Richard Christy when two people started making out against the other side of the window next to our table. Full on. Like licking each other’s faces. I’m talking the kind of action Benjy was trying to get out of Andrew Dice Clay in Episode 2 of The Bonus Show. A year ago, my reaction would have been to blush and turn away. Instead, the three of us had video cameras pressed up to the window and got the entire waitstaff to cheer them on. THIS is what I’m talking about. I’m devolving. Rapidly.
This week’s episode of The Bonus Show has upped my wiener factor to two (WF=2), adding Beetlejuices “Purple Hammer” (SO not my words) to the list of penis clips I’ve gotten to enjoy (read: had to endure) at “the office”. Some things, my friends, cannot be unseen. I need you to watch this week. Mostly because I can NOT be the only person who has to see Beet naked.
Devolve with me.
