Smoochie Boochies In the Morning

It’s been a while since SFist has listened to morning radio but when we did, we found ourselves ever drawn to Howard Stern. Yeah, we know. But when you’re stuck at some soul-sucking temp job, nothing helps fill the existential void like a little lesbian-dial-a-date. If we did listen to radio in the morning, however, tomorrow we’d be totally listening to Alice Radio. Filling in for Sarah’s erstwhile partner No Name for the past several days is the one, the only, Kevin Smith. Yep, Silent Bob himself has been getting up in the morning and chewing the fat with Sarah and the rest of them.

Smith has been filling in for the past couple of days and sadly, Friday will be his last day. According to his site, he called in last spring for a phone interview to promote some movie with which we shall not name, and had such a good time (there’s an mp3 posted on his site of a karaoke version of “Wanted: Dead or Alive” that Sarah and No Name made him do while on the show) that when they asked him to fill in, he said yes. Why somebody with enough money to never have to get up and work at 5:30 in the morning would do so is beyond me, but Smith has never been your average bear. You wouldn’t see Steven Soderbergh doing something like this, but then again, he’s too busy partying with George Clooney to do radio.

Kevin has also been offering online commentary on his three-day gig on his message board and mp3s have been created of his show. For those of you at work and want to watch, check out the Alice Web cam.

I'll name it: Jersey Girl, which I will proudly announce that I LOVED.

Alice is *so* unlistenable in the morning. I like to play a game and see how long I can listen to Sarah and No Name (while waiting for Howard Stern to return from his 15 minute commercial breaks) before I have to switch over to AM or NPR. My record was 5 minutes. Utterly mind numbing they are! Is 7 too early to play a drinking game (a shot every time No Name says "dude")? I'd be plastered at the end of my driveway.
