  • Pittsburgh Pete Gets Creepy About Miley Cyrus. 02/08/10. 6:00am
    Show opening bits and songs included: William Shatner audio clip, Roger Alan Wade performing ''Butt Ugly Slut,'' a Black History Month moment about Lexington Steele, a Riley Martin audio clip song parody to the tune of ''We Didn't Start the Fire,'' Incubus performing ''Wish You Were Here'' live in the Howard Stern Show studio.

    Howard started the show talking about how exhausted he was. He was showing some enthusiasm with an Ed McMahon impression and it was wearing him out. Howard kept that going for a minute. Robin said that reminded her that she forgot to respond to Jackie's request to go out to lunch.

    Howard took a call from Pittsburgh Pete who said that it looks like Miley Cyrus' tits have gotten bigger. Howard said he noticed that too. She's 17 years old and Pete thinks that she's heading toward a DD by the time she's 23. He thinks they're natural too. Howard said he agrees with that and they're just getting bigger on their own. Robin asked if it's wrong to look at a 17 year old like that. Howard said it is but it's hard not to look.

    Pete said that she was in a magazine doing sexual poses so it's like she wants them to look. Robin said maybe she wants younger guys looking at her and not this guy.

    Pete asked Howard who he thinks would be hotter, Miley or Taylor Swift. Howard said he thinks that Miley would be because Taylor is probably a goody two shoes. He said that the guy she was dating broke up with her. Pete was getting kind of creepy talking about Miley's camel toe and Howard wrapped up with him a short time later. Robin said she was born in 1992.

  • Howard Plays Chess At The Marshall Chess Club. 02/08/10. 6:10am
    Howard said that they shouldn't be dwelling on Miley Cyrus' boobs. He said they should move on to talk about the Super Bowl or the American Idol stories they had about him this weekend.

    Robin asked Howard if he saw the Leno and Letterman commercial. Howard said he did see that. He said he took notes on the commercials and they were horrible overall this year. Howard said he's a fan of the New Orleans Saints so he was glad to see they won. He went to bed at 8:30 so he didn't see the whole game.

    Howard said he went down to the Marshall Chess Club on Sunday to play some games. He said that he usually plays on the internet but this time he went to a tournament. He said they had about 50 people playing there. He said he gets very nervous when he plays. He said he doesn't have a lot of time to play in person but you get to see that no one is cheating. He said that's the good part of playing in person. Howard said people can cheat on the internet.

    Howard said that it's very weird to play like that. He said he has to write down his moves in the live games too. He said it's like geek central.

    Howard said he went down and they're very nice to him at the chess club. He said you'd think that Bobby Fisher walked in there. He said he just wanted to play and a lot of people wanted his time. He said he did play in a tournament. He said he showed up and paid his fee and got in and played. He said he won the first round against a woman and he didn't finish for an hour and 45 minutes. He said he didn't want to break the game up when he had to pee because you have a clock running. He said he didn't want to do that. Howard said he didn't want to fuck anything up.

    Howard said he played a second round that lasted an hour and a half. He won that one too but he had to leave after that even though it was a 4 game tournament. Howard said everyone there prepares to play with food and stuff.

    Howard said that he was tied for first place and the director asked him how he could leave. He said he was undefeated and another guy was tied with him. Howard said he was going to play him next but he had to leave so he forfeited his game.

    Howard said he went home and Beth asked why he left. He said he figured she'd want him home but apparently not. Howard said he was worn out after that. He said he was very uptight during the games so it wasn't comfortable for him. He said he was overwhelmed. Howard said he went in there and competed though.

    Robin said she can't believe he forfeited the game. Howard said he had to. He said he warned them that he could only stay for a few hours. Howard said he loved it though. The place they play in is very nice. He said that it's in a Brownstone building and it was willed to the club and they're not allowed to sell it.

    Howard said the prize money isn't big in the tournament. He said they give the winner like 10 bucks. He said that one guy was trying to sell him a magazine with Bobby Fisher on the cover for like 30 bucks too. He said the guy was telling him how tough that job is selling Chess stuff. Howard said it is a lot of fun down there though.

    Howard said he had a good time playing and the people were very nice. Howard said they tell you that you have to be quiet while playing. He said it was quieter than a library there.

    Howard said he got home after that tiring day and watched some of the game before going to bed at 8:30. Robin didn't understand why he has to get so into the game that it wears him out. Howard said everything he does is like that. He said he really gets into it.

    Howard said he had to shake hands at the club and he brought his hand gel with him. He said he was shaking hands and using the gel like he didn't care if they saw him using it.

    Howard said he didn't care that much about the Super Bowl but it was a good game. He said he almost didn't watch it. He liked that New Orleans won. Howard said that he didn't get the ''Who Dat'' thing and he really doesn't give a fuck about it. He said it irritated him hearing that. Robin said that's kind of like ''Who Dis'' from Crazy Alice. Robin didn't know how it got started but the NFL has the rights to sell anything with ''Who Dat'' on it. Howard said he owns the ''Who Dis'' thing with Crazy Alice.

    JD came in and told Howard that the Bengals say ''Who Dey'' too. Fred played him in with his techno music theme song. Howard then played a Crazy Alice prank call the guys made using her ''Who Dis?'' audio clip.

  • Super Bowl Discussions. 02/08/10. 6:25am
    Howard said there's a lot to talk about today. He moved on to talk about the Super Bowl. He said the first thing that stuck out was Queen Latifah singing. He said he forgot she was a singer. He said she's so versatile. Howard had the audio of that performance. He said she lost some weight and she looked better than usual. Howard said she's still got 30 or 40 pounds to lose. He said she'd have to lose 40 to look like a hot chick. Howard said she could end up going in the other direction though.

    Robin said that Queen Latifah was on that Jenny Craig diet and they told her she had to lose 10 percent of her weight to be healthy so that's all she lost. Robin said it's like they think you don't have to lose weight if you're black and overweight.

    Howard played more of Queen Latifah's performance and said it appeared that she was singing live. Robin said that Carrie Underwood was singing and she went flat during the performance. Howard said she really wasn't very good. Robin said when you're singing like that you really have to pre-record it because you can't hear yourself out in that stadium. Howard played some of her performance too. Howard fast forwarded through to the end where she hit a clunker of a note. Robin said that was like Gary's pitch with it going really off.

    Howard said it's ridiculous that they do the Star Spangled Banner there at games. He said they started doing it during World War II and they haven't stopped. He said he likes hearing live stuff like that because it shows how a person can really sing.

    Howard said they had a commercial for Bud Light during the game where they had some guys singing in that autotune thing. He played that commercial and said he has to get one of those things for himself. He asked Scott if he could hook him up with one of those. Howard said he wants to sing into one of those things to see if he can do that. Scott said they don't have one but they have something that he can pre-record into and put it through.

    Richard came in and said that he has one but he'd have to pre-record it to get it done. He said that if he comes into the studio during the commercial they can do it. Gary asked if they could run it through Howard's board. Scott said it's something you can't do live. There is one that works live but not the one they have.

    Howard told Gary to pick one up today. Gary said that Scott ordered one last week but Tim was freaking out. Gary said that Scott gets no respect and everyone wonders if Howard really wants it. Howard said he does want it.

  • Letterman, Oprah And Leno Commercial Discussions. 02/08/10. 6:30am
    Howard got back to the Bowl commercials and said that the Jay Leno, David Letterman and Oprah commercial was one of the good ones. He said that he thought that it might be faked or something. He called Vinnie Favale and asked him what went on. He said that Vinnie told him it was real and it was Dave's idea to do it.

    Howard said this guy Bill Carter from the NY Times wrote about the David Letterman commercial. He said that Bill wrote a great story about how it all went down. Howard said Dave came up with the idea to do the Leno and Oprah thing. Howard said they called Jay's office and asked if he wanted to do the show and that really bothers him. He said that it makes you wonder if Jay and Dave were setting up this commercial all this time that they've been goofing on each other.

    Howard said that Jay is taking the biggest beating in public relations right now so that's why he agreed to do this. Howard said the winner in this commercial is Jay Leno because Dave put his arm around him and got in on the joke. Robin said the glaring omission was Conan O'Brien. Howard said they should have had Conan as the couch. He said that would have been off the chart. Howard said they could have had Conan as the French maid or something like that.

    Howard talked about this article where they talked about how they did all of this stuff and snuck Oprah and Jay into Dave's show to shoot the commercial.

    Gary said he read that they did try to get Conan to do the commercial but they weren't able to get it to happen. They wanted him in the commercial but it didn't work out. Howard said that's good to know then.

    Howard said the Bill Carter story was very well written. He said he should just read it to Robin instead of telling it his way. Howard said that they shot the commercial up in the balcony of the Ed Sullivan theater. Robin said that's where Dave would fuck. Howard said she's right about that and joked that there were condoms on the floor in there.

    Howard said Dave came up with the idea to do that commercial and Jay agreed to do it. They wanted to keep it so top secret that they had to disguise Jay. If someone had seen him going into Dave's studio there would have been some suspicion. Howard said Jay disguised himself in a moustache and a big floppy hat or something like that.

    Howard read some of that article where Bill Carter wrote about how the commercial went down. He descried the way Dave and Jay got along and exchanged words and things like that.

    Howard said he wanted to talk about Oprah. He said that she's taking $50 million from SIRIUS XM and she hasn't lifted a fuckin' finger to do anything for them there. He said she came to the studios one time to tape a show. He said that they have some of the research on who listens to her show and he doesn't think that anyone has subscribed for her channel. Howard said she should be on the channel at least a couple of times a week.

    Howard said that a couple of years ago management wanted him to do a TV commercial or something to promote SIRIUS. He said that it may have been a Letterman appearance. Howard said that was about 3 years ago. They presented him with some lame ideas and he came up with the idea to do something with Oprah. He said they should contact her and do a TV commercial together or go out on Letterman and have it out. Robin said it was a letterman thing that he wanted to do. Howard said he thought it would be wild.

    Howard said he's a company man and he was willing to do what the company wanted him to do. They went to approach Oprah and he told them that if she doesn't do it, she should because she's taking 50 million from them. Howard said he said he'd even go to Chicago and do her show to get this done. Howard said she didn't agree to do it. He said she's a fat ass and he doesn't respect her. He said she'll do anything for Letterman but he's not the one paying her $50 million. Howard said the place to do something like that is right there for the company, not for Letterman.

    Howard said that Oprah shouldn't have even taken that money. He said she can't say no to money just like she can't say no to food. He said that she's taking that money to do nothing. He said she's not doing anything that SIRIUS didn't agree to but still. He said that she's not putting any effort into her channel there. He said it was XM that made the bad deal anyway. He said SIRIUS wouldn't make that deal.

    Howard said Oprah is a fat ass and she's one of the two despicable human beings on that couch in that commercial. Howard said that she's sitting there laughing at them for the money she's taking. Robin said she's probably sitting there laughing like Robert De Niro in Cape Fear. Howard did an impression of what that might sound like and had her laughing with Stedman.

    Howard was goofing on Oprah and the way she'd laugh at him for sitting there for 4-5 hours a day doing his show while she doesn't do anything for her channel. Howard even threw Jay Leno into the discussion and had him telling Oprah to take the money and run.

    Howard went off on Jay and Oprah for a few minutes. He was on his megaphone doing the voices of those two and talking about what scum bags they are.

    Howard said that it would be another good thing if Oprah got on her fucking phone and called Jay to get him on her channel there. Howard said Oprah should go on live this morning and talk about how the whole commercial came about. Howard said she won't do that. Howard said she'll just give that story to TV and it'll air a month later.

    Howard said ''Fuck her!'' when he thought about how she does her ''after show'' on the internet and not even on her SIRIUS XM channel. Howard said this company should take the money back from her. Howard said he knows Scott Greenstein is going to get upset about this rant but he shouldn't worry because Oprah isn't going to stop taking their money. Howard said they have to give him a fucking break with that Oprah.

    Robin said Howard could have been in that commercial. Howard said he wouldn't be in a commercial with that Jay Leno fuck. He said that guy can suck his dick.

    Howard said he can't believe that Doritos was able to afford to sponsor so much of the game yesterday. He said that it's disgusting to him. He said they make so much money doing that and he's wondering why he has to sit there doing this show when he could just sell some shitty chips to people in a bag.

    Howard said they're taking over the country with those Doritos and they can't be good for you. He said the people who eat them get fat and they should have that girl from ''Precious'' in the commercial.

    Howard got back to the commercial discussion and said that he got sidetracked there for an hour or so. Howard said that Oprah actually cut Rosie O'Donnell off when she went to promote SIRIUS XM on her show. Howard said that she did get to give away some radios but she didn't get one of her plugs in. Howard said Oprah is just taking that 50 million and not doing any work for them. Howard said they have to get rid of Oprah already. He doesn't get why they've stuck with her this long.

    Howard read more about the Letterman commercial and how they arranged for everyone to show up and do the shoot. They said that they flew Jay in on the NBC corporate jet to get out to New York. Oprah and Jay showed up and waited for Dave to finish his show that night. Rob Burnett said that Jay and Dave greeted each other warmly that day. Howard wondered why Dave would do that. He said he needs more of an explanation of what was going on there. He said he has to get the real story from someone else. He's not sure who but someone else has to fill him in.

    Howard read that the commercial was shot in about 20 or 30 minutes. Robin said that sounds pretty long to her. She said it looked like a one shot deal. Howard said he they can spend a lot of time shooting things like that. He said they did that with him at NBC when they did a commercial with Imus. He said they spent all day on that.

    Howard said that was the best commercial of the Super Bowl. They say that Dave just wanted to do something funny and that's what it was. Howard said they claim that this wasn't done to help Dave or Jay but that's bull. Howard said that it helped Jay.

    Howard said that fat ass Oprah will drop everything to do that commercial but not to do something for SIRIUS XM. Robin said she knew that Oprah was in the city last week and she was wondering what she was doing there. Robin said she must have been running right back to Chicago. Howard said she should get on her channel there and talk about what happened with that commercial. He said that he wants to see do that. He said that she's a fat cow who just takes the money and runs.

    Howard said that Gayle King should get on the phone with Oprah and tell her to come on and talk about this and have an exclusive. Robin said that Gayle was there at Letterman. She said she saw Gayle being dropped off by Oprah that day. She said that Oprah travels around in 2 SUVs and she saw her getting dropped off. Robin said that Oprah yelled something to Gayle and she saw it happen. She said she was on her way out to dinner that night and saw it.

    Howard said they should take those two and pack up that $50 million deal. Howard said they probably pay the people on the air nothing and Oprah is taking the 50 million. He said she's getting that all to herself. Howard said there are people working like slaves on radio and that fat cow is taking $50 million to do nothing. He said he's really against that Oprah Radio. He wanted to hear what was going on with that channel. He told Scott to come in and set that up so he can listen.

    Gary said he heard that they play her TV show a lot on that channel. Jason told Gary that's what was on right now. Howard said that he's not sure what channel she's on but he's pretty sure all you'll hear is her laughing about the 50 million.

    Howard asked Scott why it was so tough to get her show through there. Scott said she's part of the XM package so they couldn't do it the regular way. Howard said he doesn't get it. He told Scott to forget it. It was taking too long to get it on. Scott said it wasn't even on the radio they had. Howard said maybe they canceled her channel when the company came to their senses about the whole thing.

    Howard said he hasn't gotten into the American Idol thing. He said that he will do a whole rap on that but he had to take a commercial break first.

  • American Idol Discussion Preview. 02/08/10. 7:15am
    After the break we heard some phony phone calls the guys made to a guy using Ronnie the Limo Driver audio clips. Fred also played Alanis Morissette's ''Hand In My Pocket'' as they were coming back.

    Howard came back and asked if Alanis could be good in bed. Robin said she thinks that she probably is based on the songs she's sang before. Robin said it sounds like she's a very giving woman. Howard said maybe she's right. He said he likes that she doesn't need an autotune on her voice. Howard said he likes the song she sings where she's thanking India. He sang along to this song a little bit and goofed around with his Indian accent.

    Howard said he had a lot to talk about and he might just take that Idol job that they were talking about in the paper this weekend. He said that he gets a lot of offers like that and said that Robin's head would spin if she knew the offers he gets. He said that if they hire him they're going to have to pay him a ton of dough. Howard said that he and Beth were already figuring out their travel schedule to figure out how that would work.

    Howard said he'd sit next to that Ellen chick no problem. He said that she'll sit there too and everyone will think that he farted with her looking like she just smelled dead fish all the time. Robin wondered how she can sell Cover Girl make up. Howard said she doesn't look anything like the pictures they have of her for Cover Girl. He said he wonders how that happened.

    Howard said he saw Sal using cover up the other day. Robin said that she understands that. Howard said that Ellen is going to ruin that American Idol. He said that if he joins the show she's probably not going to stick around. Robin said she's starting this Tuesday on that show. Howard said they'll have to see how she does.

    Howard said that show is nothing without Simon Cowell on it. He said that Simon Cowell said that he wanted him to replace him and that's how the whole rumor got started. Howard said he's not going to comment on any discussions he may or may not have had with them over there.

    Howard said he couldn't believe the coverage that the story was getting over the weekend. He said people were freaking out over the thought of him taking over. He said he got a call from a famous woman who told him that she never watches the show but if he was on, she would watch. Howard said people seem to think that he'd get them thrown off the air if he was a judge. Howard said he knows how to judge and he's not going to get them thrown off.

    Howard said he had some of the reports about this story. He said there's a whole page of them to play on his computer. He had Lisa G come in first though.

  • Lisa G's Howard 100 News Preview. 02/08/10. 7:30am
    Howard had Lisa G come in with her news preview. Lisa said they spoke to a Swap Shop host about some of the prank calls that Sal and Richard have made to him. Howard said he should play their new prank call since they're on that subject. Howard said the guys had called the Swap Shop guy and got him to say that he ''wasn't sellin' nothin'' after they said he was selling stolen products on his show. Howard played that original call and then said that he doesn't get why the guy freaked out so much over that.

    After playing those prank calls Howard said the guy didn't even know he was being pranked. The guy was sounding ignorant saying ''I'm not selling nothing.'' He said that if his father heard him say that on the air he'd hear shit about it. Howard said that guy needs his father to straighten him out. Howard said Richard and Sal sent in some email to the guy and the guy read them on the air. Howard played that clip and the guy was reading about a ''Planters Peanuts Pump'' where they tried to get him to say penis pump. There was another one for the Mike Morales knob polisher. The host read a birthday wish to Tess Stickles. Howard said the guy eventually found out that he was being pranked and talked about that on his show. Howard played a clip of the host talking about how even Howard Stern listens to his show. The host went to the phones and took a call from a guy who sounded like Richard doing another prank but it was just a sound alike. The host said that it was amazing that even Howard Stern was rebroadcasting their stuff. He said he'd try to use good grammar that day.

    Howard said that show is a train wreck. He said the guy is in on the fun and that kind of kills it. Lisa said that guy said it was an honor to be on Howard's show.

    Lisa said that Benjy continued his arguments about the Constitution discussion they had last week. Benjy was disagreeing with Alan Dershowitz about it after the show. Benjy said that Lisa seemed kind of worried about getting the two of them on the phone. Howard said he didn't care either way about who agrees with what.

    Lisa said that Sal spent the day in the hospital on Friday when her hand turned blue for an extended time. She found out that stress can bring it on or chemicals used. Howard said that Christine's hands are now the same color as Sal's balls.

    Lisa said they have a Tim Stack show on at 7 tonight on Howard 101. Greg Fitzsimmons' show is on at midnight too.

  • Eric The Midget Actor Doesn't Think Howard Belongs On Idol. 02/08/10. 7:40am
    Howard took a call from Eric the Midget who said that he doesn't think that Howard is going to be a judge on American idol. Eric said that he would be in the same boat as he was in with terrestrial radio. Howard said he doesn't have to worry about that, he just has to judge those dopey kids. Howard said he can do that job no problem. Howard said that he could have helped out that kid Adam Lambert. He said he could have done a lot on that show. He said he might have to take that job just to drive Eric nuts.

    Howard said he might have Eric right at his side on the show too. He said he'd stick him between him and Ellen. Howard said he could have Eric sit on his lap. He said he could be like Michael Jackson and Emanuel Lewis. He said that if he feels some cock on his leg then he'll know that he's excited about him.

    Howard said that would be fun to have Eric on his lap like that. He said he could tap Eric on his back and he would say ''I'm Going to Hollywood.'' He could put a wig on Eric and make him look like him so he's like a little Howard. He said maybe he can wear Eric on his head like a hat. He said he's going to be wilder than Simon.

    Howard said people seem to be very excited about this. Eric said he doesn't think Howard belongs on the show. He said someone like Jamie Foxx should be the host. Howard said no one knew who Simon was before he was on that show. Howard said even Simon says that he's the only one that could do it. Eric said he didn't hear that. Eric said Howard doesn't have his complete endorsement. Howard said if he gets the job then he's not going to have him on the show. He said he'd have him on set and do a whole thing if he was on the show.

    Howard said Eric never knows when he has opportunity knocking on his door. Howard said he's finally got a pass to get into the show and he's not backing him up. Howard said that's why he's kind of dopey. Eric said he's not dopey.

    Howard said he'd introduce Eric to all of his past favorites. He'd even get someone to blow him. He said he'd get Katherine McPhee to blow him. Howard said he's pretty sure he could get Clay Aiken to suck his cock. Eric said he doesn't want that.

    Eric said that he's been doing his JFSC idol show the past couple of weeks. Howard cut him off and said he had to go. He hung up on Eric and took another call.

    The caller said that he has whipped some of these girls into shape talking about how overweight they are. Howard said he would do that on the show. He said he could combine that show with The Biggest Loser.

    Howard said he'd wear a badge on him and say that there's a new sheriff in town. He said he'd have a tazer and taze these people who suck on the show. He said he'd taze Ellen Degeneres. He did an impression of what that might sound like with Fred playing the sound of the tazer shocking her. Howard said he's going to have a good time doing that show.

    Howard took another call from a woman who said that she is a teacher and she thinks that he'd be great as a judge. Howard said of course he would. He said that the show will go away if he doesn't take over as a judge on that show. The caller said that he has to do it because he'd be amazing. Howard said he'll have to see. He said he's a high priced talent. Howard said he thinks that Ryan Seacrest would leave the show if he joined. He said that a lot of people are going to run away from that show if he joins it. Howard said Ryan would end up on X-Factor with Simon if he joined Idol.

    Howard said he has some ideas for what he would do on the show. He said if someone like that Sanjaya came on he'd hand him a taxi driver license and tell him that's what his job should be. He said he could do some other stuff with the performers too. Howard said that he'd tell the guys with grey hair to get out of there. He said he'd tell guys like that to leave or come back with dyed hair.

    Howard said he could tell contestants that they should be ushers at a Broadway play and things like that. He said would have told Carrie Underwood to lose weight. He said he would have done the same to Fantasia Barino. Howard had to take another break a short time later.

  • More Super Bowl Discussions. 02/08/10. 8:05am
    After the break Howard came right back and did a morning DJ talk up of a song that Fred was playing. Fred said he wasn't sure what song it was because it was just a music bed that they gave him to use.

    Howard said that the guys took that Autotune thing and put Ed Torian through it. He played the audio of the original version and then the edited Autotune version. Howard said it seems to work pretty well and they really have to get one.

    Howard had Sour Shoes on the phone doing his The Who impression. Sour Shoes sang about Steve Langford's penis as The Who. Sour was also doing some other impressions of various people. Howard said if he just sang he'd be good. He hung up on him after that.

    Howard said that 30 years ago The Who would have beat you up if they were told they were going to be on the Super Bowl. Howard said that it's not even The Who anymore. It's Pete and Roger and Ringo Starr's kid playing drums. Howard said he enjoyed what they did on the show but the NFL should go fuck themselves. Howard said that they put on that show and they were so consumed with the lighting effects that they were cutting away from them constantly. Howard said they have to decide if they should do a light show or show The Who. He said the light show was nice but one or two shots would have been fine. He said the director should be fired. Howard said that he's going to judge the Super Bowl and give the director a D- as a grade.

    Robin said that she was glad that it was just The Who and not a bunch of people singing. Howard said the kids watching that game have no idea who The Who are. The kids don't even know what Pinball is.

    Howard said they sounded good on the show. They had Bruce Springsteen on last year and he was good. Gary said that they had that thing looking like a space ship and they had the lyrics running around it so that was kind of odd. He said he thinks that they were cutting away because they were lip syncing. Pete Townshend wasn't even touching the strings on his guitar. Howard said his windmills to an air guitar was kind of ridiculous.

    Howard said it was good and fun but cutting away wasn't good. He said it was kind of sad to see them lip syncing because they don't need to do something like that.

    Gary said the songs they performed were the three CSI theme songs too. Howard said the reason they have the old guys doing that stuff is because they don't trust any of the young people after that Janet Jackson incident. Howard said that everyone is fine since then so he's not sure what the big deal is.

    Howard said they actually killed the Lingerie Bowl after that Janet Jackson thing. Howard said he missed Janet's tittie that year because of that Lingerie Bowl. Gary said that they still do it. Howard said they do but people are afraid to watch it.

    Howard said they had a lot of awful commercials during that game. He said that they had some good ones like the Letterman commercial. Robin said the Betty White commercial was voted the best. Howard said it was okay but not that great. He said there were a lot of uninspired commercials. They had two with the same joke with the guys in their underwear. Robin said she saw that and wondered if it was a double feature or something.

    Howard said CBS did something kind of wrong when they did the number 1 shows commercial. They were missing a lot of shows that weren't number one. He said it was almost like they were kind of not number one after he saw that.

    Howard said he saw that Alice in Wonderland movie preview and that looked good. Robin said she didn't know about Robin Hood. She said that looks good too. Gary said Shutter Island looked good. Howard said he got an offer for the screening of that one and he wasn't sure he wanted to see it. He said he gets upset about mistaken identity movies. Gary sand Robin said that's not what it's about. Howard told them what he thought it was about and Robin and Gary corrected him on what he was seeing. Gary and Robin said it was an evil island that traps these cops on the island and it wasn't a mistaken identity movie. Howard said he hates trailers that go to black all the time too. Howard said he likes Russell Crow but he's looking kind of chubby to be Robin Hood.

    Howard played some of The Who's performance at the game. He said it was all fake because they were lip syncing. He said he thinks that even the crowd singing along was fake. Howard said it was making him mental watching that stuff. Gary said he thinks that they're almost out of people to perform at those shows. Fred said that maybe Pink Floyd. Howard said maybe Billy Joel would be one. Gary said the guys in Pink Floyd don't even talk to each other. Howard said he doesn't think that Roger Waters cares. He said that he runs into Roger once in a while.

    Howard said that half time show sounded good but it was recorded. A caller said he thought Pete was actually playing guitar at times. Fred said he was really playing but not like he used to be able to play. Fred said that they weren't even close to what they used to be. Fred said he thinks that Roger was doing something where he may have been singing over himself or something. Robin said that Pete wasn't touching the strings when he was doing the windmill. Howard said he thought it was kind of sad. They filmed it shitty and there were some other issues there.

    Howard took another call from a guy who said that it is embarrassing for guys like that to do a performance like that. Howard said they should have shown what they can do instead of cutting away so much.

    The caller said h saw Howard out the other night at the Garden and he didn't know how beautiful Beth actually was. Howard said they're a striking couple when they go out. He said he was sitting near some Yankees pitcher who he didn't know. Gary said it was CC Sabathia. He said he saw Mario Cantone out there too.

    Robin said she ran into Hoda from The Today Show at a party the other night. She said that Hoda said hello to her and the she left the party.

    Howard said maybe the Eagles would be good at the half time show. they threw out John Fogarty and The Police in that conversation too. Howard said earlier that he'd like to see Pearl Jam. He said they're good live. He said that Michael Jackson's kids would be good too. He said he'd like to see them do anything. Maybe they can have them sing to that Autotune thing.

    Howard said his brother-in-law was supposed to go to the game but his wife gave birth 6 weeks early so he wasn't able to go. Howard said that's going to be the guy's story forever. He said that the kid's name is Ainsley. Howard said he's an uncle once again. Howard said her water broke and the next thing they knew, no super bowl for him.

    Howard said that half time report on the Super Bowl was awful. He said they had the coach from Pittsburgh there and some other guys. Gary said that was Phil Cowher, Boomer Esiason, James Brown and some other dude, Shannon Sharp. Howard said that guy has marbles in his mouth. Howard said no one has a real conversation during that report. He said they had so many commercials to play that they weren't able to talk. Howard said that they had to let Jay Leno redeem himself on that Letterman commercial.

    Howard said Shannon Sharp talks and you don't know what the hell he's saying. Robin said he's got bigger teeth than Gary does. Howard said he doesn't know who picked him as a speaker but he was horrible. The whole half time show was horribly produced.

  • Captain Janks Gets The C-word Out On NBC. 02/08/10. 8:35am
    Howard took a call from a guy who asked what scene he was high in during ''Private Parts.'' Howard said the scene was the one where he was watching his student film. He said he was high on weed. He said that was one of the last scenes they shot for the movie. He said he didn't have to say anything so that's why he did it then. He said that it was a dumb idea and he would never do that again. He said he'd make a movie but never do it high.

    Captain Janks called in and asked if he watched channel 4. Howard said that Janks is hell bent on saying Steve Langford's mother is a cunt on every show. Janks said he'd lay off if Steve would back off of him. Howard said he's not sure why Janks is so upset with Steve. He said he kind of gets why he wants him to back off. Janks said that Steve is taking jabs at him for no good reason other than to take jabs at him.

    Howard said Janks called a show and got through and said ''Steve Langford's mother is a cunt'' and the woman asks what he had just said and he started to repeat himself. They cut him off and said they were going to try and get the real guy on the phone. They later apologized for that incident on the show.

    Howard wondered why NBC isn't fined for something like that. He said that they have to have a delay on the air.

    Janks said that Steve called him and said that he was going to report him to the authorities after that call. Howard said that Steve is angry at him for doing that so of course he's going to say something. He said he's not sure who the proper authorities are though. Howard said he'd rather hear Janks calling and mentioning his name instead of Steve's. Janks said he will do that when Steve backs off.

    Gary said he just heard from Steve who said that he did not speak to Janks. Janks said hat he knows that he called him. He said that the guy sounded exactly like Steve. Howard thanked Janks for the call and tried to let him go. Janks said that there's this show called Man Vs. Wild and they dropped him off in Guatemala last week. Howard got a laugh out of that. Robin is still planning on going down there.

  • Howard Replacing Simon Cowell News Reports Played. 02/08/10. 8:40am
    Howard took a call from Bobo who was saying that Howard would be great on American Idol. He said that he'd help get their ratings up if he went on.

    Howard had a bunch of reports about that story. He played a clip from an entertainment show where they talked about Howard Stern talking about wanting to take over a TV show. They also played the audio of Howard telling Conan a few years ago that Jay would never leave The Tonight Show.

    There was another entertainment show that reported that Howard might be in line for replacing Simon Cowell and they asked if Baba Booey was going to replace Ryan Seacrest. Howard played another one where they reported on the story and said that Howard could take over for Simon and Idol is one of the few shows that could afford to pay him $100 million a year to do it. Howard said he'd take the job for $100 million. That sounded good to him.

    Howard took a call from Sour Shoes who claims that he was the one who called Janks as Steve Langford. Howard had Sour do his impression of Steve to show what that sounded like. Howard said that he can see him falling for that. Sour started to play some of his music after that. Howard asked if he had a recording of that. Sour said that he'd dig through his audio files and try to find it. He did an impression of Gary telling him where to find it on his computer.

    Howard played some more audio clips of news reports about him possibly taking over for Simon Cowell. There was one clip where a douche bag was saying that they were grasping for straws over there if they did that.

    Howard took a call from a guy who asked if he's going to have time to do the radio show if he takes that job. Howard said he won't have time so he's going to pull an Oprah and do as little as possible. Howard pretended to have a conversation with Gayle King on the phone about the whole Idol thing and how he was going to try and get Ellen to quit by calling her a cunt and things like that. He had a whole conversation with himself about taking over Idol. He was talking about having Eric the Midget sitting on his lap. He said he could go out and do the judging thing and how he'd handle all of that.

    Howard had Gayle getting a pizza from Dominos pizza and Gary was delivering it since he didn't have a job after Howard left his radio show. Howard was doing his impression of Gary talking to Gayle about that. He said that Gary had to take a hit on his house in Connecticut because he had bar stools in his home theater. Howard had Gayle telling Gary that the pizza was 5 minutes late so she didn't have to pay either.

    Howard was goofing on Gary about his 45 record spindle that he has around his neck. He said that was the only thing Gary had left in this fantasy of his. Howard said that Gary was riding Scott Salem's back in this story too. He didn't even have a car anymore after losing his job.

    Howard said Oprah is smarter than he is. He said she's getting $50 million to do nothing. He actually works for his money. Howard talked about how great it would be if she got on her show there at SIRIUS XM and talked about Jay and Dave. He said she's not going to do it though. She's going to take that story to her TV show or her internet show.

    Howard played some more news reports about him taking over on American Idol. This report was on the local FOX 5 news. Rosanna Scotto and Ernie Anastos were talking about how they think it could work.

    Howard played another report where some reporters were talking about the possibility of Howard taking over on the show.

    Howard said he thinks that the job would be pretty easy. He said he'd have to travel a bit but then he gets some months off to rest before the next season. Howard said if SIRIUS wants him back, he wants to work 13 weeks a year for $100 million a year. He said that's TV money. He said he'd bust everyone's balls on American Idol. He said he would reinvent that whole show.

    Howard said that he's pretty sure Ryan Seacrest would be the first one to quit. Howard said he would tell the guy he's gay and ask where his girlfriend is. He said he'd threaten to rape him if he said something dumb on the show. Robin said that's the kind of thing he'd have to tone down on that show. Howard said he would ask Ryan to stop saying ''This... is... American Idol'' the way he does.

    Howard said he'd keep a big rubber dildo at his side for Ellen. When he wants her to shut up he'd just give that to her and tell her to quiet down for a few. He said that he could have a dog for her to adopt and give up in a couple of weeks too. He said that he'd ask her where the Cover Girl face is too.

    Howard said he'd make Randy dress up as a Sumo wrestler. He said that would be funny. Howard said they'd all run off like rats on a ship. Howard said he doesn't care because he'll just go in there and judge. Robin said that would be funny if that happened and everyone left. Howard said he thinks that Kara likes him and he'd have her in a bikini on that show. He said no one would care if she did run off. Howard said he'd just bring back Brian Dunkleman if everyone left.

    Gary came in and asked if he has answered the question if there is any validity to the rumor. Howard said he can not confirm or deny. Howard said he would say it was all hearsay if he wanted him to. Gary said that if he were Howard that sounds like the greatest gig in the world. Howard said he and Robin figured it out and he'd work like 4 months a year. He said he'd be fine with that. Howard said the Idol producers go through all of the bad performances and it's just the really good ones and the really bad ones that they put on TV.

    Gary asked Howard how much work he thinks he'd have to do on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Howard said he's pretty sure there would be no work at all. He said if they gave him $100 million to judge a karaoke contest, he'd even go there to build the stage. Howard said he doesn't think that there's that much work to do.

    Howard said he would have a rack of clothing at the tryouts and he'd give the contestants an outfit to wear for their ''real'' job instead of the singing job.

    Gary asked if he would go to the other countries to do the ''American Idol Cares'' concerts. Howard said there's no way that's happening. He said he doesn't care at all so he doesn't want to do that. Howard said he would bring Eric the Midget on the show and claim that he's a Guatemalan child or something instead.

    Howard played some more of the news reports about the rumors of him going on that show. There were some reporters saying they don't like Howard at all and he wouldn't be a good replacement. Howard pointed out that some of those people were radio guys and they're just jealous because they're nobodies. Howard said he should go on terrestrial radio and kick all of their asses. He said he'll just go on that one market to kick their asses into the ground.

    Howard played another report where they mentioned Tommy Mottola as a possible replacement for Simon. Howard said Tommy is his man. He said that guy would be good as a judge. Robin said maybe it could be Howard and Tommy.

    Howard said Ellen must hate this. She's probably thinking that she just got one season on the show and now she has to hear this.

    There were some reporters saying that Howard was a perfect replacement for Simon. Some of the other reporters would point out that Howard has no music credentials. Howard said he has plenty of music credentials. He said he has more than Ellen does. He said even Paula Abdul doesn't know music.

    Howard did an impression of what Dick Clark would sound like as a judge on American Idol. He had them talking to Dick and asking what he had just said because they couldn't understand his stroke talk. Fred threw in some Crackhead Bob clips during that.

    Howard played another clip of Maria Menounos talking about how she thinks that Howard would be a great replacement on the show. They were doing a whole vote on that show trying go find out if people think he'd be good.

    Howard said he had played 7 of those clips now and he had about another 5,000. He played some audio from The Insider where they were talking about how it would be a home run. Howard said he wants to do it now. Robin said that they were saying that they weren't sure if it was going to happen or not. Howard played more of that report and the woman on the show was saying that Howard and Beth can't stand to be apart so it would never work. Howard said that Beth would be on the road with him so of course it would work out. Howard said he'd be out on the road for 4 months and then he'd be home. Howard said it would be great.

    Howard played a clip from the FOX Business channel. He said no one cares what they think. He let that one play through and the guys were saying that it could work. One woman said that Howard isn't a music guy. Howard said he used to pick music for a radio station so of course he knows music. Howard said he had to take a break and go pee. He said he had more to play though. He said maybe he'll come back with a few more clips.

    Howard said he can't imagine anyone else replacing Simon Cowell. He said that no one else could do the job the right way. Robin threw Conan O'Brien's name out there but Fred said he'd be too nice. Howard agreed with Fred. He went to break after that.

    After the break we heard a prank call that Richard made to a woman where he doubled up his voice and had himself saying two different things. Fred also played Aerosmith's ''Janie's Got a Gun'' as they were coming back.

    Howard came back and sang along to the Aerosmith song and said it's a shame that they're unraveling right now. Robin said she read that the latest is that no one has left the band and no one has been fired. Howard said you can't walk away from a band like that.

    Howard said he thought the Google commercial was very effective. Fred said he heard that it was an internet commercial and he thought it was great too.

He said it's really cool. Howard said the other commercials try to be funny and they're just not. Howard talked about how lame the GoDaddy.com commercials are and things like that.

    Howard said he'd play a couple more of the news clips but he had Irish John on the show. John asked why Howard doesn't just create his own show and rip them off like everyone rips him off. Howard said this would be a cush job and he wouldn't have to do anything. He said that he doesn't care if they take the control out of his hands. John said that Howard is crazy so he thinks it would be great. John said they could have a Sybian there for the hot chicks to ride. Howard said he doesn't want to go and reinvent something. He said he just has to sit there and be a judge. He said he does that at home anyway so he might as well do it. Howard said he wants to work with Ellen Degeneres. He said that would be great.

    Howard played some more news clips about the American Idol job offer. There was one clip where some women were talking about this alleged offer and one of them was saying she's tired of this ''stunt'' casting they're doing on the show. Howard said that he doesn't care if he gets this job. He said he'd like to see who else they're going to get to do it. He said he'll sit back and watch it fail and then people will be saying they should have hired him.

    Howard said that this was bothering him now. He said he was getting angry that they're discussing him like that. Howard said he just got a message about his sandwich being there. He said he got a bummer sandwich earlier and it smelled odd. He said that he was going to eat it but Tim told him not to so he threw it out. Howard told Benjy it was in the garbage if he wanted it.

    Howard had some more of these reporters debating about him taking over on Idol. One of the guys thought it was a great idea but he didn't think it would ever happen. Howard said he thinks he could do the job. He said he should take the job and just be Paula Abdul and tell everyone they're good.

    Robin asked Howard if he could really judge someone who comes in and sings Country music. Howard said he could do it. He might tell them that they suck but if they look good they could be a star. He said it doesn't take much to be a country star.

    Howard said he had to get everyone under control over there. He said that the ugly people would get the astronaut helmet to wear while they sing. He said he'd tell them to go lose some weight and come back next year.

    Howard played more of the reporters debating over him. Howard was talking about how he'd have a lot of props to work with and he'd have gaffers tape to cover up the mouths of people to quiet them down when they suck. Howard said he would get in his car and drive people to a psychiatrist's office when they think they can sing and they're awful. He said he could have straight jackets there on the show too. Howard said he could go out in the hallway and put some straight jackets on the whole family if they think their daughter can sing. He said he'd have Carrie Fisher there to give them electro shock therapy.

    Howard said Gary called him to ask if he was really going to be the judge. He said he didn't answer. Gary said it was actually email. Howard said he's not telling anyone. Howard said Gary asked him like 10 times this morning and he didn't tell him anything. He said he's already asked them over at Idol if there's a place for Gary there. Gary asked if it was delivering pizza. Howard said that's it. He told Gary not to be late.

    Gary asked if it was that crazy to wonder what he's going to be doing. Howard said he will have a job for him at Idol if he goes there. He said maybe he can be in charge of Randy's glasses. He said he could make him in charge of Ryan Seacrest or something. He said he just wants to take care of his people. He said they may need a guy who is good at Solitaire. He said they might need a guy who can type with one finger. Gary said that joke is old and he's said he never learned to type.

    Gary said he doesn't want to move to L.A. either. Howard said that maybe he can write the number on Gary's teeth when they give them out. Howard said that's a job for Gary. He said he has to come with him to L.A. if he gets that job. Gary said it depends on the job.

    Howard said that's funny that Gary can't leave his sports bar in his home theater for four months. Howard said maybe he'll just move Tommy Bergeron over to Idol instead of Ryan Seacrest. Howard went to another break after that so he could eat his sandwich.

  • Howard Pumping Sewage Into Society. 02/08/10. 10:00am
    After the break Howard came right back and said that he had a clip of a guy going ballistic on a TV show when he heard that Howard Stern might be taking over on Idol. Howard played the clip and the guy was from a radio station being interviewed about this Idol thing. In the clip the guy was told about Howard being the rumored replacement and he says he loves American Idol and he won't miss it unless Howard Stern is on it. Howard said he's going to also be on 24 so he won't watch that either. Howard said he'll take over the two shows that the guy likes the most.

    Howard said he's going to ruin that guy's whole world. He said he bets that the guy would watch every minute of that show. The guy said that Howard has pumped sewage into our society for years and then he made a ''blechhhh'' sound.

    Howard said that guy won't be able to tune out of the promos for the show. He said maybe they can edit out all of his comments from the show for people like this.

    Howard played more of the clip and the people on the show were going back and forth talking about him. One woman said that maybe this story was being thrown out there because Howard's contract is up for renewal this year.

    Howard said he could bring Bubba's shit fan on the show and spray the people that suck with shit. Howard said he had a million more reports but he'll have to save them for tomorrow. Howard said he bets that this guy who was bad mouthing him doesn't even talk that badly about Osama bin Laden. He said he might spray himself with liquid ass one day on that show.

  • Howard 100 News And Wrap Up Show Previews. 02/08/10. 10:10am
    Howard had Steve Langford come in with his news preview. Howard asked Steve if he can make up with Janks so he can get his name on the air instead of Steve's. Steve said that Janks is due in court today and he has not called him. It was apparently Sour Shoes who called Janks. Steve said that they did some news reports about Sour Shoes and he's kind of calmed down with his calls to him.

    Howard said he doesn't like Janks making comments about Steve's mother. Steve said that it is kind of amusing to see the reactions on the faces of the news hosts.

    Steve said that Daniel Carver Jr. is still in jail after 4 months. The judge is keeping him in jail even though his parents are saying they'll keep him under control. Steve got in some plugs for tonight's Tim Stack radio show and Greg Fitzsimmons show before he wrapped up.

    Jon Hein came in with his Wrap Up Show preview. He ran down the list of subjects they had for today's show. Howard had more ideas for what he'd like to do on Idol if he was on the show. He wanted to have a trap door to drop the contestants when they're bad. He could have them being eaten by past contestants who lost. Howard said that's a new movie idea so he asked that no one steal it. He thinks that people would watch the show with all of these new ideas he has. He had even more ideas that he was throwing out there. He talked about how honest he's going to be with the contestants and how he'd tell the girls that they're not getting any dudes hard if they're fat and look like crap. He said they want girls who look like Britney Spears and Rihanna, not Fantasia Barino. Howard kept coming up with ideas for how he'd change Idol.

    Jon finished up his Wrap Up Show preview. They were also talking about the Super Bowl some more during that. Jon finished up and Howard moved on to Robin's news.

  • Robin's News. 02/08/10. 10:20am
    Howard played Robin in with a song parody. It was a new one from comedian Mike Morse. Robin started her news with a story about Jack Nicholson who was talking about being eaten by birds when he dies like Native Americans used to do.

    Robin read a story about Sarah Silverman talking about the guy she's dating and how skinny he is. She was saying that she may have mistaken guys who are pudgy as being strong and she was wrong about that.

    Robin read a story about the new people on Celebrity Fit Club. Howard said he saw that Bobby Brown was on there and Nicole Eggert too. He said she was so hot on Baywatch and now she's a big blimp. He said when you're that hot it's mandatory to keep up your weight. Robin said Kevin Federline is on the show too. She said that's starting tonight on VH1.

    Robin said that Kirstie Ally has a new show starting too. She read about that and said that the show is about her new weight loss company. Howard couldn't believe that. He said that she's a fatso and she's got a weight loss company? He said she's a real sell out.

    Howard got back to his Idol discussions and talked about Ellen and how he'd ask her to borrow her girlfriend Portia on the show. He imagined what that conversation would be like and pretended he was on the phone with her while using his megaphone.

    Robin read a story about a list of people that were voted to be the favorite movie stars in the country. Robin read the list and said that John Wayne was on the list even though he's been dead for many years. Robin said that number one was Clint Eastwood. Howard said in the day that guy was good.

    Robin read some news about the Super Bowl. She had some audio clips from some of the players and the fans responding to what went on in the game. Robin had some people chanting ''Who Dat'' so Fred threw in some Crazy Alice ''Who Dis'' clips too. Howard had to take a break a short time later.

    After the break Howard came back and had Robin get right back to her news. Robin read some stories about the big snow storm that hit over the weekend. Robin said they didn't get much of anything in the city. Howard said the storm missed them. Robin said they got over two feet down south. Robin said Staten Island got about 6 inches but they didn't get much of anything in the city.

    Robin read through some stories about football and a possible lock out. Howard took a call during that story and the guy asked about what he thought of Sarah Palin and her crib notes on her hand. Robin said she was just going to talk about that. Howard and Robin spent a short time talking about that. Howard said he doesn't like Sarah Palin and thinks that she's an illiterate. He said Meg Griffin said it best and read a quote from her about what she thinks of Palin. He read through that and said that Meg was on a roll. He said she was on a written tear. Howard and Robin spent a short time talking about Sarah Palin and what they think of her.

    Robin read about Sarah Palin going to an event and during her keynote speech she was criticizing Obama and the way things are going with him in office. Howard played some of her speech which was actually the edited clips that Richard put together with her audio book.

    Howard took a call from a guy who said he finds it funny that Howard rags on fat chicks on the show but he's so grotesque that HD is going to show his face. Howard said it doesn't matter, he's just going to be a judge. Howard said he doesn't have to look good. Howard said it doesn't happen for the chicks that look frumpy. Howard said he can wear things on his face and cover that up. He said the show isn't about good looking people as judges. He said that everyone is jumping on his thing here.

    Robin had some audio of Obama talking about the terrorist court case that's supposed to take place in New York City. She had a couple of audio clips of him that she played.

Howard got irritated with some of the clips and quickly cut them off as always. Robin read some news about Ashton Kutcher's new movie and had him talking about florists. Howard was goofing on some other people in the middle of that and doing impressions of them. He even slipped into his Ted Kennedy accidentally in the middle of that. They played a few more audio clips and goofed on those before wrapping up and ending the show around 10:10am.

  • Wrap Up Show - American Idol Hosting Rumors. 02/08/10. 11:15am
    Jon and Gary started the show talking about the American Idol thing. Jon asked Gary what he thinks about this story. Gary said he emailed Howard over the weekend about it and he asked if there was any validity to it. Gary said he didn't call him or anything. Gary said there were people calling him from the show and asking him if it was true and he had no idea. Gary said he didn't bug Howard about it even though he said he had. Gary said he asked him twice about it and that was it.

    Jon said that Howard said he wasn't going to tell him and had that smile on his face like he had gotten one over on him. Gary said he wants to work on the show as long as Howard wants to work on it but he'd like to know if it's going to be over.

    Jon asked Gary if he thinks he's been offered the job. Gary said he thinks there's something going on but he's not sure what. He said maybe FOX came to him and asked him to host the show but he's not sure how far they've gotten with the deal. Jon asked if he thinks that FOX would let him be the judge. Gary said he thinks that they would.

    Jon asked about all of the suggestions that Howard had for the show. Gary said he liked the idea of the rack of clothes that he'd have for the poor performers. He thinks that they'd have sponsors begging to be on that rack eventually.

    Gary said that they say Howard makes $100 million a year there at SIRIUS. If they offered him a gig like that on TV for less time working then he couldn't pass it up. Gary said he might be leaving his legacy on radio behind but he's already left his mark.

    Benjy said maybe Howard should be doing something that's the most fulfilling for him and not about the money. He said that maybe the money could make it competitive. Gary said he thinks that it's about the money but not for the need of money.

    Jon took a call from a woman who said that Howard would go after Regis Philbin's job and not that job. She thinks that he would go for that because it's in New York. She said that she has inside information and she knows that's the job he's going for. Jon asked if they have no interest in Howard for Idol. She said that's absolutely what it was.

    Another caller said he doesn't think Howard is going to that show. He said that the HD thing is a problem for Howard. He always worries about how he looks on TV and there's no way they're going to shoot him the right way. Gary said Howard looks fine and he'd be okay with that.

    The caller asked if they think Howard could do that show and a show there at SIRIUS. Gary said that one of the things he learned is that anything is possible on satellite radio. He said look at Oprah and you'll see that. Jon said that Ryan Seacrest hosts that show and does his own show too. Gary said Howard would have to move his show around if he did that.

    Gary asked if Ryan moves his show around. The caller explained what his show was like and said that they can do the show from any location.

    The caller was pointing out that they have a lot of Jewish people on the show. Gary said that they have a lot of Jewish people in the area so that's not that surprising. He said that it's not that they're trying to fill the show up with Jews.

    The caller said that Howard protects other Jews too and he protected another Jewish broadcaster when he said ''Martin Luther Koon'' one time. Gary said that's just not the case. They told the guy that not everyone on the show is Jewish either.

    Jon took another call from a guy who said that he saw that story in the NY Post about Howard possibly taking Simon Cowell's place and she flipped out. He said his prediction is that Howard will be in the same chair he's in now for a little more money than he's making now. He said maybe they'll have some staffing changes but he'll still be in that seat on the radio.

    Jon asked the guy if he thinks his wife would watch Idol if Howard was the host. The caller said that his wife is really Christian so she probably wouldn't watch. He said that he has to keep it a secret from her that he listens to the show. He said he's a huge fan though. He said he thinks that they're going to lose more viewers than they'd gain if Howard does do the show.

    Benjy asked how much time they spend on the road with that show. Jon said it's just a couple of days in each city so it's really not that much. Gary said that they're not seeing all of those people that you see on the show. Gary said he thinks that the producers see everyone and they screen the ones that they actually put on the show. Jon agreed with that.

    Benjy asked Jon if he thinks that FOX had anything to do with the story in the NY Post because they do own the paper. Jon said that it was a juicy rumor no matter how you look at it. He said that Howard is going to play into it either way.

    Jon asked Gary what he thought of the conversation Howard had with the fake Gayle King and what he thinks Howard thinks of his future. Gary said that Howard would go off to do that show and he's not sure how many people he'd need to go with him. He said Ralph might have a job but no one else would go along as far as he knows.

    Jon asked who would last longer, Seacrest or Ellen. Gary said that Seacrest isn't going anywhere. He said Ellen might leave sooner than him.

    Gary said that maybe this is all a master plan to get Howard and Ellen on the show to create fireworks. Gary said maybe they'll get out there and dig each other. He said it could end up being like Howard and Rosie.

    Another caller said that he had to turn off the radio this morning when Howard talked about this stuff. He said that Howard started the rumors last week when he mentioned he was offered a show and turned it down. The caller said he thinks that Howard will leave SIRIUS. He said that Howard won't go on a trip with his wife when she goes to California. He said that SIRIUS is going to let Howard go because they're already losing money. He said that they can't keep him on. The guy said they're losing money hand over fist and if they let Howard go they could probably stop the bleeding. The caller said Howard won't do Idol either. He said there's just too much bullshit there.

    Gary said that Sam was saying they lost $800 million there last year and he's not sure about that. He said they have a lot of debt but they're a profitable company as far as he knows.

    Another caller said that he thinks that Howard needs to stick around there to make SIRIUS what it once was. Gary said they'd have to be there a really long time to bring it back up to where it was. The caller said they need to give it 10 years or so and it'll be a great thing.

    The caller said he noticed that the show isn't what it once was and the Wack Pack is decimated lately. He said that Mark the Bagger was great on the show and they don't hear from him or from Big Foot. Gary said that the Wack Pack is still alive but they need something to do with the people. He said they just had High Pitch on and Beetlejuice is coming in soon. He said that they're still alive.

    The caller said that he knows Howard isn't going to leave the show. He said he's too tied up in it. Gary said that everyone thinks they know Howard and what he's going to do. He said that they don't all know him that well.

    Gary said he thinks Howard would do a great job on Idol and he'd turn people's opinions around if he actually did the show. They had to go to break after that.

  • Wrap Up Show - Super Bowl Discussions. 02/08/10. 11:40am
    After the break Jon moved on to talk about the Super bowl. He and Gary talked about the game and what went on in that since Howard didn't talk too much about it. Jon said that Howard didn't watch the game since he was tired from playing Chess that day. Gary said that he can imagine what the email is going to be like tomorrow. He said that people will be calling him a fag and stuff. Gary said that's what he likes about Howard though. He said Howard doesn't care about the game.

    Jon and Gary talked about the Letterman commercial and how shocking it was to see him with Jay Leno and Oprah in that commercial. Gary said he knew it wasn't a Leno look alike but he did go back on the TiVo to check it.

    Gary said that he thought Leno looked kind of like a bitch in the commercial. He said some people think he came off better than that but he's not sure about that. Benjy said that he thinks that people will think he came off okay for doing it.

    Jon and the guys talked about the musical performances there at the game. They talked about Queen Latifah's performance and The Who. Gary said that it was kind of sad to see The Who doing their thing when there was a time in their career when they wouldn't have done it.

    Jon took a call from a guy who said that Steve Brandano was a douche for calling him the worst caller ever one time. They didn't get too far into that discussion before moving on to another caller.

    A caller said Howard had the chance to do the show from the Super Bowl so he was wondering if they were upset about that. Gary said he was kind of bummed about that but Howard didn't see it working for the show so there was no point in arguing it with him. Gary said Howard sees the show as losing something when they take it out on the road. He said that even if there are a lot of stars down there they aren't necessarily going to do the show. Gary said they could still end up with no guests on the show.

    Another caller asked the guys if they're worried about what they're going to do if Howard leaves. Gary said he has been meeting with people to prepare for that but he's not actually looking for a job right now. He said that if JD came to him he'd have to tell him he doesn't have an answer for him. He said he hopes that Howard will give them 6 months notice. He said after that everyone is going to have to start making their own decisions.

    Jon took another call from a guy who said he thinks that Howard would get annoyed with that show if he did it. He said that he'd watch the show but he's not sure Howard could take it. Benjy said he thinks Howard has a passion for it and he would be into it. Jon gave that caller a Crumbs Bake Shop prize out of the blue.

    Jon took a call from a guy who said that there were people taking bets on how many windmills Pete Townshend would do during The Who performance. He said he caught 5 and a half himself but he's not sure of the exact number.

    Jon took another call from a guy who said that Howard doing Idol is beneath him. Gary said that Howard watches the show though so that's not beneath him. Gary said maybe Howard has decided to do something different. The caller said he's going to follow Howard wherever he goes.

    A caller asked Gary who is in charge if he drops dead. Gary said if he dropped dead tomorrow then Will would probably be next in line. The caller was shocked by that. He said he didn't think anyone there would be prepared for that. Gary said they do need a plan in place so Will is the guy. Gary said that Howard might go out and find someone else if he really did pass away. Gary said Howard would probably want a writer or writers on the show.

    Gary said he thinks that Howard would start goofing on him the following week after he died. Gary said he thinks that Jason might be next in line or maybe Jon Hein. He said that he's not sure. He said that he and Will talk every day and he knows the inner workings of what Howard is thinking so he would probably be the guy. Benjy said Will is really good at Solitaire too so that might put him next in line. They had to end the show a short time later.
