Geraldo Rivera: Admit it, Howard, I made you possible... I fouled the airways years before you! Howard Stern: It's true, Geraldo - you're the man! Mark: I saw Howard Stern pm "Geraldo" today. Boy, do they deserve each other...people like that always make me wonder - how do they live with the embarrassment of being themselves? I have this theory that in the evolution of the celebrity, natural selection has favored the least self-aware! They don't know they're appalling! Mike: Think so? Mark: Absolutely.

Mike: Well, I imagine I'd have to kill myself. Mark: Of course you would! And that's why nature made them clueless!
