There was a funny story on today’s radio show: one of Ryan’s staff, Simon, uses Ryan’s name to pick up girls! Ryan said he couldn’t see how that would help, so Simon told him it worked pretty well, explaining that he coordinated it with his wingmen so someone would say he works with Ryan Seacrest, and he’d drop info about them in return. Ryan replied, “using me is better than being me,” then Simon told him he has the nickname “Captain Invisible” because he’s like the invisible wingman. Cute! It does tell a girl that he has a job and he isn’t an aspiring something-or-other, so maybe that’s how it works.

Simon revealed that one of his wingmen is a model, which Ryan immediately dismissed as a bad idea because he gets first dibs, before asking Simon if the guy’s vapid. As a pretty boy himself, Ryan should know that they aren’t all dumb! Though it’s not necessarily a bad thing if they are. Corinne told Ryan that the girls can’t use Ryan’s name to impress guys because guys all listen to some other show I’ve never heard of.
