Grub Street New York

A caller said his wife saw Robin at a clinic in New Jersey where people looking to lose weight get beads taped behind their ears.

It took two seconds for Robin to confirm she does have lucky charms glued to the back of her head. So she jumped out of her booth to show Howard.

Howard thinks she is insane, saying, “I’d respect it more if those were antennas and you can pick up radio signals.”

Robin claims she is just “investigating” how people lose weight and one day she may write a book about it. Howard said, “You’re like Columbo, except with a triple-G breast size.”

He told her losing weight is simple, just eat normal portions and exercise. Robin insisted that won’t work for her. If she ate like Howard she would balloon up to the way she was before.

Then Scott the Engineer came lumbering into the studio and revealed he lost 55 pounds through regular dieting. Howard thinks Scott looks good.

And in his Scott the Engineer voice, Fred said, “I’m like a lumpy Bruce Willis.” But Robin got very defensive and questioned Scott’s health on a “cellular level.”

UPDATE: Howard said Benji tried the beads, but got confused, he thought they were M&Ms and ate them.

UPDATE: Robin still doesn’t think Scott the Engineer is healthy, and she called Howard an enabler.

UPDATE: Scott came into the studio to argue with Robin, but he couldn’t stop scratching his ass the whole time.

UPDATE: Howard read an article reporting that “fat burning beads” have been banned in The United Kingdom.

UPDATE: Howard said, “Remove the beads now, trust me on this.”

UPDATE: Robin took them off. Howard said they left burn marks on her head.
