He's much more of a caricature these days than at his peak in the '80s.  Anyone with any business knowledge at all knows he's a huckster.  I think only a few wannabes and housewives view him as the pinnacle of the businessman nowadays.  He's more synonymous with 'tacky,' as in "that gold and velvet monstrosity looks

A big swing and a miss with that dig, Ms. Eakin.  Nothing cringeworthy about Dylan's xmas album…well given the fact that it's a Christmas album anyway.

When I saw her on her sitcom I thought she must be in her mid-40s or up.  She's definitely a rough 37.

Hah! I'm about 10 seconds away from downloading that.  The clips they play on the show are awful catchy.

Ah that sucks, haven' t listened to this week's yet, but now I'm not too keen. 
Last Friday's Two Charted was pretty great though.  Especially Howard getting a bit choked up (?!) over the girl whose grandpa died but she was comforted by Howard's "Lord Don't Take Me in Spring" goof song.  That was surprisingly

Matt Besser is quickly rising in the ranks of my favorite podcast hosts.
I love when he has someone who's been complaining on the message boards phone in on Skype and then he tears them to shreds, but without being an asshole about it. 
And his exasperation when someone does a shitty job plugging themselves at the end

Kindler is like Indian food, I couldn't handle it every day, but once in a while it's delicious.  Thought he was great on CBB this week, and I love how he's not afraid to tear into Bill Maher, Leno etc.  I know they're fairly easy targets, but a lot of comics still tread lightly just in case there's a chance they can

That was also my reaction to Nardwuar when he'd pop up on Muchmusic.  He's especially good with hip hop guys who expect him to be a doofus and then he starts reciting their entire history to them.  See: Ghostface, Tyler the Creator etc.  Unsurprisingly Henry Rollins was a dick to him,
