Sal the Chain-Smoking Pill-Popper

Stern Show writer Sal Governale has gone to great lengths to improve appearance, including purchasing a Propecia knock-off from India and wearing an insane light-up helmet to regrow hair. But for 2014, Sal decided to concentrate on the beauty inside, and is consumed with prolonging his life.

Howard got word that Sal was now obsessed with a vitamin regimen that had him popping all kinds of pills – cayenne capsules, multi-vitamins, fish oil, L-Arganine, garlic, ginger, Vitamin C – all hours of the day.

He’s consuming so much that his piss is now cloudy, but Sal knows that’s a sign of health.

Sal decided to try to take care of himself in 2014 because his son’s coach recently dropped dead of a heart attack at 53 years old, and it shook the comedy writer to his core. Not enough to quit his constant E-Cigarette habit, though, much to the chagrin of his office (and life) partner, Richard Christy.

Richard has been working in a cloud of Sal’s E-vapor for years and was just about to finally lay down the law when New York passed a law banning E-Cigarettes indoors.

Sal insisted that the vapor was harmless, but Richard likened it to sucking on a fog machine; there’s a definite chemical in the air.

Sal tried to make the E-Cigarette experience as pleasant as possible for Richard, blowing the “smoke” away from him and even buying pumpkin-flavored cartridges so the air would smell like Richard’s faaaaavorite flavor.

Sal promised to try to kick his E-Habit, and Howard banned smoking in the office, effective immediately.

The Sal ball-busting didn’t stop there.

The crew reminisced about the time Sal diagnosed himself with something called “Depersonalization and Derealization.” He was sure that he was having out-of-body experiences and could see himself driving.

Thankfully, since he’s let go of a lot of the stress in his life, he has become Repersonalized and Rerealized.
