Richard Christy makes a mess in his pants ... again
Good Morning Everybody!
The Stern Show got off to a stinky start on Wednesday when Howard discovered his staffer Richard Christy had shit in his pants for the umpteenth time after eating a $2 breakfast wrap.
“It’s horrible. It’s like having a pet in there,” his officemate Sal Governale reported. “It smells like fresh dog shit.”
Steve Nowicki, who also sits with Richard and Sal, told Howard he is usually able to weather the storm in their windowless studio since he sits under the vent — but this time was different.
“I had to leave this morning. It was so horrible. We’re still airing out the room,” he said.
Steve wasn’t surprised by his co-worker’s accident considering what he brings in to eat every day. “It looks like shit in a bag. It’s something he makes in his Crock-Pot. He goes, ‘I reheated this chicken seven times,'” Steve described.
Richard himself didn’t offer much of a defense, but did assure everyone the poop secretion only got so far as his butt cheeks, leaving his underwear and pants supposedly untainted. He also emphasized how stringent he is about washing his hands after cleaning up.
“It smells like soap with a hint of shit,” Sal maintained after taking a whiff, though.
Howard was baffled by the frequency with which Richard seems to lose control of his bowels. “Robin shit her pants … but it was, like, a life-defining moment,” Howard recalled of his co-host’s infamous jogging incident. “For you, it’s just Wednesday.”

Lenny Dykstra Calls Into the Stern Show to Deny Allegations of Using Racial Slurs on the Ball Field
Lenny Dykstra Calls Into the Stern Show to Deny Allegations of Using Racial Slurs on the Ball Field
“You don’t yell at the pitcher before you’re getting ready to hit,” the retired pro tells Howard
Former baseball great Lenny Dykstra called into the Stern Show Wednesday morning to defend himself against accusations of racism made by his former New York Mets teammate Ron Darling.
According to Darling’s new tell-all “108 Stitches,” Lenny shouted profanities and racial slurs from the on-deck circle at Boston Red Sox pitcher Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd just before Game 3 of the 1986 World Series.
But the retired all-pro told Howard nothing like that ever happened, “not even close.”
“Ron Darling is lying with 100 percent certainty … He went way over the line here,” Dykstra said on the air.
Lenny told Howard he’s never said anything negative about Boyd and went on to explain heckling the other team was the furthest thing from his mind before the big game in question. “When you’re in the on-deck circle leading off … a World Series game, you’re concentrating, man,” Dykstra said. “You’re not screaming whatever the hell [Darling] says.”
“You don’t yell at the pitcher before you’re getting ready to hit,” Dykstra later added.
His personal reputation aside, Lenny said he was also disappointed Darling’s allegations might unfairly detract from what the World Series-winning 1986 Mets accomplished as a team. “What [Darling] said is like crazy,” Dykstra told Howard. “I don’t even know why he said it.”
