Surprised I’ve never heard a spin-off of Swami’s famous phrase: “no one, circles the toilet, like…” “no one circles the drain, like…”

 

Once heard a story about how some guy had been working a girl at the bar for awhile, trying to get her number. In walks Berman with his entourage and he looks at the girl and tells her something like “you’re with me, leather” and she instantly went with him, leaving the other guy standing there like an idiot. Celebrity has its perks!

Yeah that sounds like complete BS...the guy is creepy and gross.

 

Watch the video above and see how "Rebecca" continually blows him off.

You can tell he very well may be a womanizer. Not uncommon with celebs. 
Tried to search for the story I referenced, found a wiki blurb about it:

Quote

In a post by Deadspin assistant editor Rick Chandler, a source (whom site editor Will Leitch called "a respected journalist") claimed that in the mid-1990s, a friend of his was flirting in a bar with an attractive woman wearing leather pants and holding a leather jacket. However, his efforts proved unsuccessful when Berman, who was in Scottsdale, Arizona to cover baseball spring training, walked by and told the woman "You're with me, leather." The woman immediately got up and left the bar with Berman.[2]

During the 2006 NFL Draft, fan Aaron Ghitelman asked Berman whether he had ever visited Deadspin. Berman reportedly told the fan, "Why would I go and do that? That is such a stupid question. What are you, stupid? That is so stupid."[3]

In 2007, Berman said of the phrase and its popularity, "A lot of people are very mean-spirited, apparently. You're talking about something that happened nine years ago, some people want to dump on a guy that's been pretty nice to people for 27 years."[4]
