My Brother's Brush With Greatness... Delivering Howard Stern's New Car !!



Most of us lead ordinary existences... Lives which don't vary much from day-to-day, and are generally pretty boring. Then once in a while, we cross paths with the rich , famous and powerful. Even if for just a minute, it puts a bright spot on an otherwise dull life.

I've said it before. I am a huge Howard Stern fan, probably since I was 14. Maybe not as much as I used to be, but still a fan. Well, my brother Matt in New York got a treat this week. It seems that Howard bought a new Audi A8, and needed it delivered to his house in the Hamptons. The dealer called Matt's body shop, and Matt is the flatbed driver, so he got the gig.

Matt was taking the car off the truck, when Howard and his superhot girlfriend Beth just came off of the beach. Howard was pretty excited to get the car, and the two chatted for a couple minutes. He was pretty lucky - most people don't get to bring a $100k car they've been waiting for. Howard offered Matt lunch and an extra tip, but he had to get going.

All in all, it was a pretty surreal experience, but it makes for a pretty cool story. So far, the only celebrity I ever met was Debbie Gibson, not including politicians. I might have to listen to Howard's show on Monday to see if he talks about it... Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Yep, Moye I'm still a fan. Ten or twenty years ago, Stern was the funniest thing on radio, and he didn't focus so much on sex.. He had a studio full of dummies working for him, and he'd spend most of the time yelling at them - it was classic.
Maybe Nancy should have gone to John Kerry's doctor.. that guy did a great job on Kerry's accordion forehead.
