Howard started off the morning sounding like he was in an okay mood. He said he was waiting for the axe to fall from the FCC on Friday afternoon but it didn't happen. He said he has sources inside the FCC and as of Friday Chairman Powell has been freaked out by everything that's been going on and he may be turning Howard into a martyr and that may cost President Bush the election. So now he's hearing that they're going to wait until right before the election to file the charges against Howard so he won't have any power. There are new fine limits that went from $27,000 per fine to $500,000 per fine. Howard told Robin that he heard that it was passed so that's what they could fine him for all of these new fines they have against him.
Howard told Robin he's praying that Bush doesn't get reelected. He talked about the campaign commercial they're running. He talked about how Bush was down in Florida reading to children when all of the 9/11 stuff was going on. Even after he was informed about what was going on he continued to read to the children and didn't bother to go find out more about what was going on. Howard and Robin pointed out how Bush got on Air Force One and just flew around after that all went down. Howard continued to point out stuff that's been happening in this country since Bush has been in office.
Howard said that the whole country is screwed. He took a phone call after that and a guy said he thought Friday was Howard's last show. Howard told the guy that this could drag on for months but he still seems to think that he will be forced off the air by the FCC and the fines they're going to bring out.
Howard said that the whole march on Washington thing is kind of dumb but he was talking to Ross Zapin who says that he could set up some bands to play at a rally. He was saying that they could sell tickets to RFK Stadium and have a whole festival there. Howard said they could have booths set up and march from there to Washington D.C. and march on whatever it is they're supposed to march on. Howard thought that would be pretty cool. They'd have to get some really famous guys to play at the concert. He suggested 50 Cent, Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beastie Boys... and Britney Spears. Howard also mentioned KoRn.
Artie said he was drinking out in Aspen while he was out there and it didn't take much to get him drunk. He said he performed with Robert Schimmel. That led to Howard and Artie talking about how crazy that guy's life is. Artie said that Bob's daughter was taking care of the new daughter because she was sick.
Artie said that there wasn't much for him to do during the day except go to parties. He doesn't ski so he would start drinking around 6pm and his shows didn't go on until 10. He said he went to a Maxim magazine party and there were some stunning looking women at the parties there. He said that Dana, his girlfriend, didn't go with him but the Jack Daniels was his girlfriend out there. He said he went out to do this show at 10 o'clock and heard that there were a lot of celebrities in the audience. He did well but told a story about accidentally doing heroin one time. It's the story where he crapped his pants. He said it got laughs but there were some people who were appalled by the story and they were all celebrities. He said he didn't know who wasn't laughing so his agent let him know. It turned out that the super gay guy who writes ''Sex and the City'' was one of the people not laughing. He didn't know the guy's name though.
Artie said he sat down back stage and then Joe Rogan came to interview him. He said he was so out of it that he can't remember the interview. He said he can't remember anything he said but Joe told him that he didn't really say anything that bad. Artie said he panicked the next day since he couldn't remember what happened. He did remember the next show he did with Drew Carrey at midnight that night though.
The next night Artie said he killed and got out of there the next morning. Diane Keaton was at the event and the driver who was driving him to the airport heard that she had to hurry up with whoever she was with because Keaton's kids needed to be picked up for ski lessons. Artie said the young driver was racing through red lights and stuff to get him to the airport. She screeched up to the airport and let him off so she could get back to pick up Keaton's kids.
Howard said he had to take a break but Artie told him that he spoke to Jack Black while he was out in Colorado and he was really cool. Howard wondered what his beef is with him because Jack and his buddy bad mouthed him on some radio show not too long ago.Artie didn't know about that so Howard told him what had gone on with that. Artie said he had no idea and Jack was saying that he backs Howard in all of this stuff that's going on and he said to say ''hi'' to them. Howard didn't know what was going on so he just went to break.
Howard said Garver got an interview with Lou Gossett Jr. Garver asked him a bunch of quick questions but there wasn't much going on there. Garver then got Emmett Smith. He asked Emmett some questions about who he will support for President and stuff like that. He asked him what the most racially insensitive thing was that someone ever said to him. Emmett said that ''Go home nig***'' was the worst thing he's ever heard. Garver asked him about Jayson Williams and if he thinks that he should go away for what he did. Emmett said something about ''He has did something fairly wrong...'' or something like that so Howard and the guys goofed on his grammer a bit. Garver asked him about Clear Channel and Howard Stern and Emmett said there are much worse things out there going on that they should be worried about. Howard had to replay the interview to hear that line of his again. Howard said he's got to be his favorite interview.
Howard replayed the interview that Gary Garver did with Gary Busey. He played it last week but Artie missed it. Garver asked Busey about a bunch of stuff and when he asked him about Haiti, Busey didn't really know what was going on. Garver kept on him about it but Busey didn't want to answer it. Garver moved on to ask him about who has the best ass in Hollywood instead. Busey wasn't happy with those questions so he walked away.
Another listener called in and said that Saturday Night Live did a great cartoon about Howard and the FCC. He tried to describe it to Howard but Howard said he has to see it himself. It was a Robert Smigel cartoon and Howard said that the guy is really funny with those cartoons he does.
Howard took another call from a guy who said he had some information about what George Bush said about the 9/11 plane crashes. KC came in and tried to explain to Howard what the caller was trying to tell him since the caller was having some trouble with it. KC said it's a whole conspiracy theory that's going around the internet.
Howard took another call from an angry guy who was yelling at him about what he was saying about President Bush and some of the stuff he did many years ago. Howard said that he only points that stuff out because the guy is running our country. The caller was yelling at Howard so he yelled back and told him to get off his phones and hung up on him. That led to Howard talking about gay marriage and how that will only be real after the first gay divorce. Howard and Robin talked about that stuff for a minute and then took some more phone calls.
A caller complained about the stuff Howard was saying about Bush. Howard defended himself over the stuff he was saying and how Bush wouldn't have gotten into Yale without his father's help. The caller said that you can't buy a degree from a Harvard or a Yale. Howard laughed and said that the guy is very naive. He hung up on him and went to commercial break after that.
Howard and the guys talked about the new season of ''The Sopranos'' and how good the first episode was. They all loved it.
Daniel Carver was on the line so Howard could find out what he's up to. Daniel said that he was still down in Daytona Beach for Bike Week. Howard asked him if there are any black guys down there. Daniel told Howard that there were maybe a thousand ''nig***s'' down there. He said that he doesn't get waves from the black guys when he's riding because he rides a Honda while those guys are all on Harleys. Howard and Robin were wondering why he wasn't riding a Harley that's made by Americans if he's so for white guys. Daniel said he brought the Honda from a white guy so it doesn't really matter.
Robin and Howard asked Daniel about Mel Gibson's movie ''The Passion of the Christ'' and what he thought of it. Daniel said that everyone knows that the Jews killed Jesus and the movie just shows how bad they beat him.
Daniel had some things to say about the FCC and how he's against anything that stops free speech. They discussed that for a short time before Howard got back to Daniel's trip to Daytona Beach. Daniel said he can't wear his KKK cap on the bike because it would blow away. He said he doesn't even wear a helmet down there because they don't have a helmet law. He said that his wife rides on the back of his Gold Wing when they go down there. Howard sounded pretty amazed that Daniel was able to rent a house on the beach down there. KC came in and said that Daniel just got back from a cruise as well. Daniel said a lot of his money comes from the $3 catalog that he has for all of his racist products.
Howard asked Daniel what part of being at Bike Week is fun for him. Daniel said they know some people down there and they get to see other bikes riding around down there.
Howard told Daniel about Mel Gibson's father and his racist rants. Howard told him that the guy doesn't believe that the holocaust didn't happen so Daniel said that he agrees with that. A listener called in a short time later and said that Daniel is a hypocrite because he's always bad mouthing everyone but the whites but then he buys a Japanese motorcycle. Daniel told the guy that he just wants a bike that's fast and quiet. He doesn't like the noise that the Harley's make. He doesn't seem to think that he's a hypocrite. He said a lot of people make a living off of Honda right here in the U.S.
Howard had a quick F***, Marry, Kill game for Daniel to play. Howard gave him the choice of a Black, a Mexican and a Jewish woman. Daniel said he'd marry the Mexican, F*** the black woman and kill the Jewish woman. Howard wrapped up the segment a short time later and got off the line with Daniel.
Howard brought up how Martha lied to the investigators and that's really what got her in trouble. Howard suggested that she just continue to sell her products because the products are good and there's nothing wrong with that. He said she could do her work from prison while the company still goes on. He wondered why her stock has to go down.
Howard brought up an article about Jay Leno that's in the National Enquirer. In the article they say that some of Jay's people are surprised at his decision to steal Stuttering John Melendez from Howard's show. Howard said that he doesn't think Jay even knows why they're doing this stuff. Howard pointed out that Jay's head writer is a big fan of his show and they steal a lot of bits from them.
Howard said that he got an e-mail from someone who said John had a run in with the law recently. Fred said that the first part of the e-mail was about how John was on a Detroit radio show talking crap about some of the people on the show. Howard said he doesn't know that it's true yet because they haven't heard tape of the show yet. Howard said he has to talk to John about that himself.
A listener called in and said that he believes that the reason Clear Channel pulled Howard off the air wasn't because of indecency, it's because they want to win the election at all costs. The caller went on and on about his thoughts on this stuff but Howard got bored with his thoughts and hung up on him.
Howard mentioned that Rachel Hunter is going to be on the show soon. He ended up talking about how she wasn't interested in him when she was on the show the last time. He talked about how she did get heavy for a while but she's gotten into shape lately.
A listener called in and told Howard that Martha Stewart can't run her company now because she's a convicted felon. Howard said that she could do it ''Mafia Style'' and just get someone to run it for her.
Howard said that he was drinking beer on Friday night. He got a case of Tusker beer from someone after he mentioned it last week. He said he had poker night with the kids on Friday. One of his daughter's friend's actually won that night. They only played with chips, not money. He said the kids always tell him they don't have money so they ask him to give them some to play. That's why he stuck to just the chips instead. Howard told Robin about all of the kids that were over to play cards. He said Chris Booker was supposed to come over but he didn't show up. Howard figures he didn't want to come because there were no celebrities there. Howard went to break shortly after that discussion.
Howard read an article about this guy who was a rich guy who banged a lot of famous chicks in his day. He ended up blowing all of his money and had to live off a Government pension in his final years. That led to Howard talking about how this country likes to elect rich guys to office for some reason. He said we talk about how much we like the hard working man in this country but we don't trust them to run the country.
There were news reports about Howard all weekend so he spent a couple of minutes talking about all of that. Howard said his inside source at the FCC says that Michael Powell is thinking that if they fine him right now, they might make him a martyr. Because of that they're holding off on the fines until shortly before the November elections. Howard said he thinks that they will still fine him because they've already done a bunch of work to put these upcoming fines together.
Howard had some audio clips from a few news programs. He played a clip of Fox and Friends where they were defending him a bit. One of the guys said that the FCC is bowing to public pressure to fine these shows. Howard said he doesn't know that there is that much public pressure. The guy on the tape Howard was playing didn't have any numbers, he was just saying ''a lot of people.'' Howard also pointed out that the guy was saying that he doesn't listen to his show but then he said that he does listen sometimes.
Howard played an MSNBC clip where a woman from the Parents Television Council argued with this guy from Talkers Magazine. The two of them argued a bit about what was going on. The woman thought that the FCC does have the authority to say what's indecent on the air. She said that the supreme court ruled on this back in the 1970's. Howard said that the only thing they ruled on was the Seven Dirty Words. He said that if the FCC did ever go to court over any of this, they'd probably lose and they'd lose all of their power. The woman from the PTC said it has nothing to do with politics but the guy from Talkers magazine said that it has everything to do with politics. The PTC woman was saying that Howard and other ''shock jocks'' have the right to say ''edgy'' stuff but they just can't say indecent stuff. Howard said she's about as clear as the FCC. The guy from Talkers attempted to defend Howard but the woman from the PTC kept bringing up the supreme court thing. Howard said the only way indecency has been defined is with the seven dirty words ruling. There are no other rules that have been ruled upon by the court since then. Howard said that he would love to boot her ass right out of this country.
Tom Chiusano came in and tried to help Howard explain this stuff but Howard didn't want his help. He told Tom he could leave but Tom wanted him to take a break. Howard said he'd take a break when he got around to it. He took a phone call after that. The guys spent a couple more minutes talking about this stuff. Then Howard told Robin that he's not going to talk about this stuff anymore after today. He wants to get back to doing his regular show and he'll do it until he's taken off the air. He said the show is already over. He's got 50 people hitting the (delay) button on the show and it's already over. He spent a little more time on that subject before he took another commercial break.
Rob was down to 294 pounds today from his original weight of 335. Both of them are doing really well on their diets and workouts. Rob said that his workout is working because he's not out of breath when he's working anymore. Howard said that he's almost looking normal now. They have four weeks left in the contest so they can still lose a lot of weight.
Howard wondered what the guys can eat at night when they get hungry. They mentioned sugar free Jello and that you can eat as much of that as you want. Howard and Artie were asking about some other foods as well and the Bally people were saying that anything sugar free is good. Benjy said that frozen Jello is good. He said you can freeze it, then microwave it for 30 seconds and it's like a popsicle.
Tomas' trainer, Kristen, was sayhing that she trains both Gary and Tomas and had no idea that Tomas was checking her out when she beds over during the workouts. Tomas said that he sees her thong when she bends over sometimes.
Howard asked Gary if he's ever ''popped one'' when Kristen is stretching him out for a workout. He said he hasn't and wouldn't unless she was making out with a chick while she was doing it or something. Howard asked her a bunch of questions about her sex life and found out she once made a sex tape with a boyfriend of hers who was a cinematographer. Howard asked her how much it would cost him to see that tape. Howard figured that the guy must have made copies. She said she got the tape when they broke up. Howard said he'd like to make one with Beth. Gary told him that they'd like to see that but Howard isn't going to show it to anyone. Howard told the guys he has a scenario already picked out. He went on to describe what he'd like to do for a couple of minutes.
Howard asked Dennis if he ever video taped Carmen Electra when they were together. Dennis said she wasn't into it so there was no tape made. He said he didn't make one with Madonna either. He told Howard he wished one existed though. Howard asked Dennis what famous woman was the best one he ever had. There were a few delay button hits during the segment so we missed out on some of the conversation.
Howard brought up how Artie saw Dennis naked out in Vegas not too long ago. Artie was in a steam room out there and saw Dennis in there naked. Artie was fully clothed while he was in the steam room and he was just trying to sweat out the booze he had in him. Dennis said he remembered some guy walking in the steam room in their clothes but he wasn't paying attention to who it was. Artie said he wasn't that impressed with Dennis' size either. Dennis said that's alright because everything shrinks up when you go in there anyway.
Artie said that he was almost touching knees with Dennis in the steam room. He said he started stretching out while they were sitting there and it almost looked like Dennis was giving him oral in there. Dennis said that he was wondering why there was a guy in there with all of his clothes on. Artie said Dennis does have a good body and even though he's like the straightest guys in the world, if one of the greatest rebounders is sitting there, he's going to check him out.
Howard wrapped up the call with Dennis a short time after that and got back to the Junk to a Hunk contest. He spoke to Kristen for a little while longer and found out that she hasn't had sex since January. She told Howard that she doesn't train guys while wearing anything too sexy. She said that she likes to stay professional while she's doing that stuff. KC broke into the conversation and wanted to blast a fart for them. He lost it before it came out though.
Gary told Howard that KC made a sex tape of himself one time. KC said that he doesn't have it anymore though because he got pissed and destroyed it. That led to the guys talking about that chick and how she ended up getting a court order to keep him away from her. KC said that he may have stalked one girl when he was in high school. He said she went away to another school and got obsessed with her. He was writing her and calling her quite a bit and it was a little too much for her. KC said that he was very aggressive and said some bad things to her. He said that he called her a ''dirty C-word'' but he never touched her. He also said that he drove past her house once in a while. Gary asked him if he ever wrote letters to this chick in his own blood. KC said he didn't do that to her but he did do it to a friend of his one time.
Howard had to stop that conversation shortly after that and said goodbye to the Bally people and the Junk to a Hunk contest guys. He was trying to wrap it up with them but fond out that Kristen does pillaties with Gary sometimes. Howard and the guys goofed on Gary about that for a short time. Kristen also told Howard that she's a dancer. That led to the guys asking her to demonstrate her ballet dancer talents but she didn't want to do anything for them. Howard let them go after that.
Howard and the guys were talking about schools that are creating bathrooms for trans-gender kids. The guys goofed around with that story for a couple of minutes before Robin started her news.
During the news Howard mentioned a great movie he saw called ''The Station Agent.'' He figured Robin hadn't seen it but she's seen a lot of movies and had seen it. They spent a couple of minutes talking about how good the movie is before Robin got back to her news.
Senator Alfonse D'Amato called in during Robin's news to give his support for Howard. D'Amato said that his fans should be writing to their Senators to let them know that they're upset about what's going on with the FCC and Howard's show. Howard asked Senator D'Amato if it really does make a difference to write their Senators. D'Amato said that it does make a difference and he did respond to mail like that when he was in office. Howard also asked D'Amato if he speaks to President Bush at all. D'Amato said that he does speak to him once in a while. Howard and D'Amato talked about that and about the FCC and how crazy this stuff has become.
D'Amato told Howard and Robin to put July 18th down on their calendars because he's getting married then. He was inviting the two of them to come to the wedding. Howard said that he wants to throw the bachelor party for him. He said his mind will be blown if he lets him throw the party. Howard wrapped up the call shortly after making that offer to D'Amato. Robin finished up her news after that.
Howard said that people have been calling him asking him about the FCC and when they're going to be fined. He said he thinks he has some good news. He has a couple of inside sources at the FCC and they're saying that the Bush administration is so freaked out by what he's been saying, that they're going to back off until after the upcoming election. He said there are stories about how the FCC has a huge case against him that they're going to eventually bring out but for now, they're going to lay off. They don't want to make Howard a martyr right now so they're going to wait and swat him down after Bush is reelected. Howard said he's not the boy who cried wolf in this. The FCC is apparently reacting to what he's been saying and they realize that his listeners are listening to what he says. Howard said that he's going to continue to push for Kerry to win or else he'll be off the air.
Howard says that Miami and the rest of Florida are key to the election and there are a bunch of angry people down there right now. He said he's going to try and reach them over the next few weeks and he'll talk about that soon. He's also gotten the names of the congressmen who lectured Mel Karmazin at the hearings he went to. He said that he's going to start targeting them and try to make it so they don't get reelected. He said the one congressman he does like is congressman Serano. He's going to fight back as best as he can.
Gary told Howard that he called Serano yesterday but hasn't heard back from him yet. They want to talk to him about all of this. Howard said that down in Florida the polls are saying that Kerry has 48 percent of the vote and Bush has 47 percent. Howard said that they were pulled off of both Florida stations they were on down there and they don't have a voice at this point. (Howard is still on in Ft. Myers - WRXK FM 96.1)
Howard changed subjects and said that psychic James Van Prag canceled his appearance this week. He was supposed to be in on Friday but had a scheduling conflict and had to cancel. KC came in and said that he was looking forward to having him in. Artie was also looking forward to it because he wanted to ask him about his father. KC believes that these guys can really contact the dead so Howard goofed on him for a minute about that.
Howard gave out some of the names of the congressmen who sit in on the indecency council that lectured Mel a couple of weeks ago. Here are a few of them:
Howard told Robin about how Beth is into that kind of stuff and she went to see one who was supposed to be really good. Howard said that he had Beth tell him what the psychic told her. Howard said that once Beth told him that she was told they weren't a match, he said he was going to go punch her in the nose. He then said that he wanted to go get a reading himself so he could voice his opinions during the reading. Beth wouldn't let him go though. Howard said the woman charged $200 to do the reading. $25 would have been too much according to Howard. They spent a couple of minutes on that before Howard took a commercial break.
Someone wrote in about how crazy KC sounded after revealing that he stalked a girl when he was in school. The writer told Howard and the rest of the guys to run and hide from him. Howard read another e-mail from a guy who wondered how Jay Leno's show would survive if the FCC takes him off the air. Leno and his guys won't have a source for material anymore.
Howard read that George W. Bush had a 1200 score on his SATs so there's no way he could have gotten into Yale on his own. Gary said he heard that the average for a Yale student is 1490. People like Bush drag down the 1500 score to that 1490. Howard also heard from some people who said that Gore had a lower score but that wasn't true. Howard said that Gore got a 1355. Howard talked about how Bush didn't get into Yale on his own and he should admit that he wouldn't have gotten in without his father's help.
Howard talked about the Martha Stewart case and how she's going to be going to a prison camp up in Connecticut. Howard joked that when Mel Gibson's father heard that, he said ''I didn't know she was Jewish.'' Howard described the prison and it didn't sound all that bad so Robin said she wouldn't mind going there herself. That led to the guys talking about the Tommy Chong case and how ridiculous that whole thing was.
Howard spent a couple of minutes goofing on Mel Gibson. He talked about his lame interview with Jay Leno and how Mel wears a red clown nose while directing his movies.
Howard talked about President Bush a little more after that. He was pointing out some of the odd stuff Bush did after the 9/11 attacks. He said that Bush made sure that they got the bin Laden family members out of New York after the attacks for some reason. He and Artie goofed around with that for a couple of minutes.
A woman called in and said that she read that Jay Leno just wrote a children's book called ''If Roast Beef Could Fly.'' Howard wondered who he stole that idea from. He goofed on Leno a bit after hearing what the book was about. He said he's tired of hearing about Leno's father and how great he was. Howard said he doesn't believe that Leno had a great relationship with his father. He goofed on Leno about that stuff for a short time. The woman said that the book comes with a CD of Jay reading the book so she suggested that Howard get a hold of that. Howard said he will get it and they'll have a lot of fun with it.
A listener from Rochester called in and told Howard that someone from the FCC was up there doing a speaking engagement. Howard wondered if the guy got paid a speaking fee and who would have gone to see something like that. The caller said that the guy was talking about reality TV. Howard wanted to know what the guy talked about exactly but the caller didn't have tape. He told Howard he'd try to get some audio for him though. Howard said the guy probably got a speaking fee and now they're making money talking about him.
The caller said that he also heard a story about OJ Simpson and how he was allegedly stealing cable. The guys talked about that for a short tim and said they hope he gets jail time over that.
The caller asked Howard if he will ever go to satellite radio. Howard told the guy what he said earlier about how the FCC is backing off for now from what his sources are saying. Howard said that his listeners have to say ''no'' to Bush in the upcoming election to send a message to these people that we're not going to let the religious right take over. Howard said that the election should be pretty close and his power to swing some votes his way could make the difference. Howard told the guy that even if Kerry gets elected he could still be taken off the air. He just doesn't want the religious right running this country.
The phone caller asked Howard if they ever figured out what Michael Powell did before becoming the FCC commissioner. Howard said he read that he has a law background but that's about it. He went on to point out how the guy flies around the country making appearances on taxpayer money. After talking to the guy for a few minutes Howard threw him a prize to go see a WWE wrestling event. He even threw in air fare so the guy can fly in to see the show.
Howard wondered why someone would go to see an FCC guy talk about reality TV programming. Robin said that those people get out of their minds sometimes and that Janet Reno was sending scripts to the TV networks at one point. She said that you can't just let people sit there and get more and more powerful because they lose their minds. Howard wants to hear that tape of the FCC guy speaking. Howard said if that guy is taking fees to speak like that it's pretty amazing.
Artie wondered what the FCC's function is if they weren't fining radio stations. Howard told Artie about the days when the FCC was in charge of making sure that radio stations said the call letters at the top of the hour, every hour. They were also threatened about taking readings from their equipment at certain times. Howard said sometimes the FCC would actually show up and ask questions of the DJs. He said no one actually saw them there though. The guys spent a couple of minutes on that and then went to break.
Howard said that Snoop Dogg was on TRL yesterday and some kid ran out with a sign and started yelling about boycotting Taco Bell. The kid was whisked away immediately but if MTV was cool, they would have let the kid talk about the boycott. Howard said if the kid is listening to his show, he'd like to know why he wants to boycott them.
Howard and the guys ended up talking about the hosts of TRL on MTV and how they had an intern who went on to host the show. Gary came in and was going to try and tell Howard more about the guy. They ended up playing a song parody about Gary for a couple of minutes first. Gary then told Howard that it was actually this guy Alter Boy who worked with Cane on their radio station. He went on to host TRL and is now just Brian McPhelan. Howard and the guys goofed on the Alter Boy name. Gary said he always had the hottest girlfriends though. Howard said that the people on MTV are like Spaulding Gray, they disappear and you don't know where they are. He mentioned people like Martha Quinn and JJ Jackson as a couple of examples of people you don't hear from anymore.
A listener called in and told Howard that the kid on TRL wants to boycott Taco Bell because they only pay farm workers like 39 cents a day to pick the vegetables for the food they sell. Howard wondered what country they're getting that money. He said 39 cents in Mexico is like five thousand dollars here. Howard figures Taco Bell is being generous paying them that much. The caller said that Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine was backing that boycott. Howard said they have to get that guy to back them in the fight against the FCC as well.
Howard mentioned that there are some celebrities out there who want to back him but won't come out and say anything. Joan Rivers is one who thinks that all of this stuff will blow over. That led to Howard playing tape of Bill Maher saying that Howard probably isn't a ''marked man'' and how he could live on that giant pile of money he has. He was being interviewed on Bill O'Reilly's show. He defended Howard in a way after talking about how much he dislikes him. Howard ended up talking about Maher's ABC show cancellation and how that all had to do with low ratings.
Robert told Howard about how you have to have a lot of skills and a lot of guts to bet all of your chips sometimes. He said you have to have something going on in your hand when you bet that much. Robert told Howard about how you can't have two many hands when you play. The guy is 42 years old and lives right in Long Island. He said that they found a house shortly before he won the money so now he's able to finance it. He and Howard spent a couple of minutes talking about the poker stuff. Howard gave the guy a plug for the web site WiseGuysOn.com.
Robert said that he believes that people can make a living on the game and if you watch his videos and learn how, you can do it. Howard took some phone calls for the guy and let some people ask some questions. One guy wanted some tips but Robert just told him what they teach in the videos they sell on the web site. Howard asked him if he can get a lesson from him so he can get some advice. Howard wrapped up the interview shortly after that.
Howard and Artie continued to talk about the game and what they do when they play. They also goofed on Stuttering John for a minute because he played cards with them down in Atlantic City a few weeks ago and ended up losing a hand because he thought he had a flush when he really had nothing. Howard had to take another break after that.
Howard said he's still thinking of doing this rally where they'd get a bunch of great bands to play and hold the rally in a stadium. Then they'd do a march on Washington DC. He told Robin that he's getting calls from Joan Rivers and Billy Joel. He tried to call Billy back after he heard from him but he must have changed his number.
Gary came in and said that comedian Margaret Cho is calling in this week to tell Howard she's backing him up. Howard took a call from this guy Johnny who has the site FreeStern.com up and running where you can sign a petition to try and keep him on the air. The guy told Howard that he is selling stuff on the site to fund this web site. They have ''Free Stern'' yarmulkes, t-shirts, hats and other stuff. They want to eventually send the petition to Clear Channel but Howard doesn't seem to think that will do any good. He suggested that they go after other people in government instead. Then he wasn't sure what they should do.
Howard asked him about the song they have on the web site. Johnny told Howard that a friend of his wrote the song. Howard said he thought the song was a little bit gay but played a few seconds of it. He said that he asked Staind to write him a song to back him up but they backed out of the whole thing and said they weren't into it. He seems to think that they got afraid of Clear Channel and didn't want to get banned from their stations because they own so many of them. So instead, they have the band Barbara's Bush singing ''F The FCC.''
Howard played more of the song but he said they may have too many lyrics in the song. He said they sound like they just wrote the next theme for Friends or something. Johnny said it was kind of catchy. Howard told him to thank the band for doing the song. Johnny then asked him if they could come in to get some more attention for the site. Howard said that they'd talk to him.
Artie said it would be nice if a cool band did a song for them. Artie started to do his AC/DC impression so Howard suggested that they have him do one instead. He then played a new song parody from Dan the Song Parody Man (SongParodyMan.com) where he used sounds of a woman who queefed and put them to the theme from Flash Dance.
Howard wondered about why they have to travel at all. Serano said that he doesn't even care about the travel thing, he's more worried about people like Howard being targeted the way they are. Howard told Serano that the FCC will not let them go to court if they do fine them and they will stop his company from getting licenses while that stuff is going on. Serano said that the people who have to stand up for him are the people in his company. Howard said that they are willing to back him up but the FCC makes it impossible for them to do business if they do back him up.
Howard asked Serano if he has enough people to back him up to cut the FCC funding in half. Serano says that he's in the minority and doesn't have enough people to back him up in something like that. Howard asked him how many people it would take to cut the budget in half. Serano told Howard that they can't do what Howard wants them to do in the way it's set up at this point.
Howard asked Serano what he has to do to wake these people up. He asked if they should do a march on Washington DC or to just get Bush out of office. Serano said that the Bush administration is part of the problem. Howard wanted Serano to ask Michael Powell why he needs $500,000 a year to travel and why he takes money from broadcasters to travel as well. He suggested a bunch of other questions to ask of Powell when he meets with him this year. Serano said that he will look into this stuff.
Howard told Serano about how the FCC harassed the company about 10 years ago when they were fined the last time. The FCC held up the licensing for radio stations while the fines were up in the air. Serano said he wasn't aware of that and he will certainly look into these things when he meets with Powell. Howard wanted to sit in on the meeting with Serano but he was told he'd have to be elected to a position to get in there. Serano said he has an ego too and Howard would be stealing the attention from him.
Serano said he'd see what he could do about getting Howard down there to Washington so he can talk to Powell himself. Serano thought that Howard was a big backer of George Bush but Howard told him that he voted for Gore and thought he won. He stood behind him after the 9/11 stuff but he's evaluated his performance over the past few years and now he thinks he's insane. He said that Bush takes way too much vacation, he's against stem cell research, and he's lied to us every step of the way.
Howard said that Serano is backing Al Sharpton for his run for office so Howard went off on Sharpton for a minute. Serano didn't seem too happy about that though but Howard stuck to his beliefs. Serano told Howard that he wants to do this thing with the FCC questioning but it will probably happen on a Tuesday or Wednesday during show tim. Serano said that maybe they can do it live on the air. Howard said he wants to sit there in front of the guy though.
Serano said that he believes that what's going on with Howard is wrong and scary. He said he hopes the country realizes this. Howard wrapped up the call shortly after that. Howard said he doesn't believe that Serano will actually let him go to this meeting with Powell. Robin said Powell probably wouldn't show up if Howard was there. Howard and Artie did a bit where Howard pretended to ask Serano (Artie) to ask Michael Powell some questions at the meeting. Artie did his impression of Serano and asked questions of an imaginary Powell. Howard said he'd actually ask serious questions in the meeting because Serano wouldn't really let him ask sex questions.
Howard had a letter from Jimmy Kimmel that he wanted to read. He lost it somehow but gave a quick synopsis of what he was trying to say. Jimmy told him that we're bragging about how Iraq has all of these freedoms now that we've freed them but we're censoring the people in our own country. Someone found Jimmy's letter and read it. Jimmy made a good point about how we're starting to head down the same road that some countries have where they make women cover up and chop people's hands off when they commit crimes.
Howard said that things have gotten so crazy that UPN had to re-cut their new cartoon ''Game Over'' in which Artie does a voice. Howard said they had to cut some nudity and ''salty language'' from the cartoon. Artie said that he had to go over and redo the voice over so they could change the line ''breaking balls'' to ''breaking chops.'' He also had to change the line ''numb nuts'' to ''numb nads.'' Artie told Howard how easy the cartoon recording was. He said they had the lines written out for him and he just had to read them a couple of times. He said that the cartoon premieres tomorrow night and Lucy Liu is doing a voice for a really hot chick in the cartoon. Artie plays the dog. He said that his character drills a hole in the wall and you were supposed to see the Lucy Liu character's ass through a hole in the wall. Now they've cut that out of the cartoon because of all of the stuff that's going on lately. Artie said the cartoon starts tomorrow night at 8pm on UPN. It's called ''Game Over.'' Howard went to break after that.
Artie said that he went to lunch with Oedipus not too long ago and he showed him the Super Bowl ring he has. That led to Howard talking about how he thought he was going to get one of the rings but got a jersey instead. He said he heard that he was offered $10,000 for the jersey but he wasn't sure if it was a real offer or not. He also said that he thinks he may have thrown it out already.
Artie was telling Howard how he pulled the ring out during appetizers at lunch the day they went out. Howard goofed on Artie about the way he pronounced calamari for a minute. Artie pronounces it ''Gal-a-mahd'' so Howard asked him where he was coming from with that pronunciations. Artie said it was just the way he was raised. He continued his story about the ring and said that it was him, Stuttering John and Nick DiPaolo that were out to lunch with the guy. They were wondering how much it was worth but no one was really sure.
Howard and Artie talked about how a lot of people get rings when a team wins a Super Bowl or a World Series. Artie said the guy who runs the speed gun for the Yankees gets a ring if they win the Series. The guys talked about how gaudy the rings are and how they see them on broadcaster's fingers during football telecasts and stuff like that.
Howard talked about some of the awards he's gotten over the years and how he gives some of them away. He's kept his Billboard award and a couple of others. He suggested that they make the Super Bowl ring a little less gaudy and make it something that a guy would war that just subtly says that they were in the Super Bowl. Gary said he thought KC had a ring so Howard joked that he got one because he was dating a football player.
Double A owns a few wrestling belts so Howard talked to him about that and asked him about what he knows about this Diva Ivory that he was promoting in the commercials. Howard put him on hold and wondered what the ''double A'' thing means. Double A used to wrestle when he was in school and he called himself ''Double A.'' Artie said that high school kids don't give themselves names like that. He laughed as Howard asked him about it. Double A said his first name is Angelo. They used to call him Awesome Angelo so that's where the Double A thing came from. Howard and Artie goofed on him about the ''Double A'' jewelry that he wears. Howard said it says ''Double A'' and has an arrow pointing at his face.
Howard asked Double A what he's doing these days. He said he sold the pizza place he owned and is now just doing some real estate and relaxing. Gary told him that he showed up at 5:15 one morning to meet Bon Jovi os he has plenty of spare time on his hands. Artie said that he used to go to the pizza place and they had some great pizza. He said they used to make bacon pizza and it was great.
Howard said he went out to dinner with Gary last night. He had a couple of drinks but Gary wasn't drinking at all. Gary said he doesn't drink during the week. Howard said he got rid of that rule a while ago and now he drinks during the week if he wants to. Howard said he used to have fun going out to dinner with Dominic Barbara but now that he's had his stomach operation, he's no fun. He also said he thinks that he looks worse now that he's had the operation and lost weight. That led to Howard and Robin talking about Randy Jackson and Al Roker and how odd they look after losing all of their weight. He said the only one who looks good after a stomach operation is Sharon Osbourne. He said she must have made a deal with the devil or something.
Howard played tape of Sharon talking about what's going on with Howard. He started to play some of it but interrupted it to talk about an old episode of ''South Park'' he saw where the kids give their parents herpes to get back at them for giving them chicken pox. Howard said that his 11 year old was watching it. Howard pointed out that parents aren't making sure their kids don't watch that stuff, they're worried about radio.
Howard got back to the Sharon Osbourne tape and she says that the real danger to people is the internet. Howard said that wasn't exactly a good point to make. Gary told Howard that the internet is kind of crazy. He had a friend who tried to find something about ''cock a doodle doo'' in a google.com search and all they got was porn pop-ups and stuff.
Tom Arnold was on Sharon's show so he voiced his opinion as well. He wasn't making any good points so Howard bailed out on the tape and had Robin start her news.
Captain Janks (CaptainJanks.tk) called in and said he had someone show up at his door after he made a prank call to a TV station in his area. He said that he said ''F*** the FCC'' on their program and they now want to fine him over it. Janks also got another F-bomb out on C-Span the other day as well. Howard had the calls on tape so he played them for everyone to hear. Janks got out a quick ''F*** Clear Channel'' on C-Span and got out a ''F*** the FCC'' on a local TV station. Howard interrupted that and pointed out that KC brought him cocktail swords instead of toothpicks that he was looking for. He yelled at him for a minute and then thanked Janks for his call and got back to Robin's news.
Howard said that yesterday he heard that the senate passed a bill that says the FCC can fine radio stations $275,000 per offense or something like that. He wasn't even sure what he heard. His agent told him about that but he didn't see anything in the paper about it. He's being affected by everything and he's getting weary from it all. He said he's thinking of taking himself off the air now because his health is being affected by it. He said all he's ever wanted to do is entertain people while they drive in to work every morning. Now he can't do that because he's got people on his ass. He knows that some people don't agree with his kind of entertainment but all he's tried to do is give people something new and entertaining. Now he's attacking Michael Powell's son on the air and he must be fuming over all of that.
Howard said that he didn't get into radio to get involved in all of this nonsense. He said he now realizes that there is satellite radio out there and he could go on there and do what he wants no problem. They're already playing dirty comedy bits on there with no problem. He talked about how almost everyone out there these days has cable TV and no one really has a problem with the pay channels that are out there. He now sees how cable is just as available to families out there as the regular airwaves are.
Howard said he had a great day yesterday as far as creativity. He met with a writer for a TV show and he has some other stuff in the works as well. Then he realized that he's got this whole FCC thing going on. He said that he had Bill Maher going off on him as well as former governor Christie Todd Whitman who he helped get elected. He was upset that she wasn't defending him fully on Maher's show recently. She was in his studio talking about how great he was and how she's backed off and won't say very positive things to him. Howard talked about how upset he is now that he can't even do his show the way he used to. He's got Dead Air Dave hitting the delay button on him and it makes him sick to his stomach.
Howard said ''It's just not worth it to me.'' to continue his radio show. He's at the end and he's really angry about what G. W. is up to. He told people who don't like his show to just throw the radio out if they feel that threatened by it. Either that or lock it in a safe if you don't want people listening to it. He pointed out the availability of the cable channels to the same people who have access to his radio show. The whole industry has changed and he doesn't know what he's doing with his life. He's got Tom (Chiusano) hitting the button on his show and running around his studio telling them what they have to do. He knows that he's no good for this industry anymore and he may fit in on satellite now. He said he's afraid of George W. Bush because of all of the people he can sick on him to shut him down.
Howard doesn't hear from Mel (Karmazin) because he doesn't know what to say to him. He said he doesn't want to be a burden to his company anymore and it's obvious that the radio industry just doesn't fit him anymore. He told Robin about a story he wanted to tell about going to the bathroom but he now knows that Tom and Dead Air Dave are going to hit the button on it and it will be chopped up. He said people tell him not to give up and to figure out a new way to be funny. He wonders why he has to do that because he was funny the way he wanted to be funny. Now they want to go after the individual performers for indecency fines. He said no one will get into radio if that happens. He'd have no one to back him up if that was the case.
Gary said that he got a call from Baltimore about part of the show that was cut. It wasn't their guys at his station, it was someone down in Baltimore who decided to censor the show. Robin said that some day the war might be won but Howard has to think about the time and energy it would take to get there. Howard said he knows that it would take a couple of years to get himself an audience on satellite but that's a road he's ready to travel. He said he knows the hardware isn't out there yet but that would come in time.
Howard once again pointed out that everyone out there has cable TV and access to channels that show everything so he doesn't get why his radio show is being targeted. He told Robin that he's going to go talk to his agent today about all of this and then he'll go to Mel and let him know. He said he calls Tom every few days and takes his frustrations out on him about what's going on with the FCC and all of that. He's coming off as a monster to these people and he just doesn't want to do that anymore.
Robin said that on Friday she almost collapsed on Friday after the show because everything was so mentally draining on her. Howard said he expected people to go berserk after Clear Channel pulled him off the air. Then he realized that musicians can't come out against Clear Channel because they own so many radio stations out there. The could easily get banned from 1200 radio stations. That's why he knows it's over now. He said he's getting nervous for himself personally and it's not even like it's his show anymore. He's got 60 guys on (delay) buttons censoring his show. He just wants to go to satellite and talk the way he wants to talk without editing himself.
Howard took a call from a guy who told him it's time to get off the air. He told Howard it's a no win situation at this point. Howard told him that he thought about putting material on the internet on his web site HowardStern.com because they wouldn't be censored. That's when he realized that he can't say what he wants to say on the radio. It would be pointless to put it on the web because his audience includes people who drive to work and listen. That's why he wants to go to satellite and crush the industry that created him. He figures that in 20 years the radio stations out there will be worth zero if he moves there and spends 5 years on there. Howard said he's not doing his show anymore because of all of the stuff that's going on. He said the only person out there really defending him on TV is Jillian Barberie. No one else is doing anything or saying anything. They're all afraid to back him for some reason.
Howard said it sounds like the government wants to go after him personally with these new laws about fining individuals. He said he had Tom handing him a letter of liability and he just can't read that stuff. He's not a lawyer and he doesn't want to read that stuff. Robin said she hasn't read one yet over the years. Howard is so low that he was thinking of just coming in every morning to play records for the remainder of his contract (almost 2 years). He said all he wants to do is broadcast an entertaining radio show every morning. He wants to get rid of the many delay buttons they're using so he can just do his show and only censor out the seven dirty words.
Howard brought up this congressman he was talking about who is part of The Fellowship and how disturbing that is. He also talked about George W.'s limited brain power and how afraid of pissing those people off he is. He doesn't feel like he's giving up, he feels that his radio station gave up 10 or 12 years ago.
A few phone callers agreed that Howard has to give up and move on to a different medium. Howard said he's ready to do it and he will change the industry. One caller asked Howard where Governor George Patacki has been in all of this. Howard said he hasn't heard from him lately but he did send him a beautiful video message for his birthday. He said he doesn't want to put the guy on the spot either. Patacki recently pardoned Lenny Bruce so it's obvious where he stands on all of that. He had to take a break after talking about that.
Howard has a mole inside the FCC and everything he's been told has come true. He heard about some things that went on yesterday in some meetings that Michael Powell had behind closed doors. Howard was told that there were supposed to be fines brought down on Howard's show last week but they don't want to make him a martyr. The fines are ready to go and now they are just arguing about when they want to hit his station with them. Stern was told by his mole that there are two groups. One group thinks that they should hit him with the fines now and the other group thinks that they should hold off on the fines to make it look like Howard is ''full of it'' and the fines weren't real. They want to hold off until after the election to hit them with the fines.
Howard read from this letter he had from his mole where the person talks about all of the stuff that went on behind closed doors. The whole group wants him off radio. That's why Howard wants off his radio station and wants to move to satellite. He really doesn't want to give up his radio show. He said he doesn't want to do this but he would be doing a show that he wants to do. He'd be having fun again and so would the audience. He would go from millions of listeners to a couple hundred thousand.
Howard says that he believes that George Bush will lose the election unless John Kerry really screws up. He doesn't see how Kerry can lose if he just gets up and talks about the religious right, stem cell research and that kind of stuff. Howard talked about how secretive Bush has been while in office and some other stuff like that.
Howard reads about all of the stuff that's getting cut out of his show these days and hates that. He hears from Tom Chiusano that people still love the show but that's not how he wants to do it.
Vinnie Favale called in and said that hooking up a satellite radio in your car isn't that hard. He said the antenna will even pick up the signal when it's in your glovebox. Howard told Vinnie he doesn't want to keep doing what he's doing under these rules. Vinnie asked Howard if he could do a simulcast of satellite and regular radio. Howard told him he can't do that for various reasons.
Howard told Vinnie about how he was going to talk about what it's like to pee as you get older but he realized the button would be hit on the conversation. He doesn't want to eliminate those stories from his show. He just wants to talk about things that go on in his life without thinking that they'll be censored.
A caller told Howard that a lot of people have been changing their thoughts on Bush after all of this went down. Howard wondered how he got involved in all of this stuff. He said it's just time to go create a new industry and make all of these radio stations extinct. He doesn't think people should have to pay for his show but he can't do the show the way he wants to.
Joey Boots called in and said that he's a disabled Army veteran. He said they have soldiers dying overseas to liberate a country that is run by extremists and now we have the same thing going on in this country. Howard cut him off and said that he was rambling a bit.
Another caller told Howard that he's a coward. Howard told the guy that the government is closing in on him and they've already won. They're hitting buttons on him and he's being fired from some stations (Clear Channel). He said he's put his ass on the line over the years and he's no coward. He could sit there and let Tom and Dead Air Dave hit the button on him but that's not what he wants to do. He said he could just sit there and play records all morning and get paid. He said Clear Channel would put him back on the air and Infinity would have to pay him. He just doesn't want to do that.
Howard said it hit him last night that there's no point to continue doing the show like that. It's time to go to a new medium that's got more freedom. Howard believes that it's time to build that industry of satellite radio. He wants the freedom to tell people what's on his mind. He's pissed that other broadcasters aren't rising up and getting upset that he's being forced off the air. Robin said that Howard will be pardoned after he's dead and people will forget about how ridiculous all of this stuff was.
A caller told Howard to just keep doing the show the way he wants to but the guy just didn't get that he can't do it because he has people on the button ready to censor him. Howard had to bail out on the caller because he wasn't understanding the situation.
Howard ended up goofing on the Jay Leno's and Ryan Seacrest's of the country for a couple of minutes. He pointed out how lame they are. Howard said that his Las Vegas station is going nuts over all of the stuff that's going on with this freedom stuff. They're playing bumpers and stuff asking people to voice their opinions about what's going on.
Howard and Corey talked about Bob's career and what he did after the Newlywed Game. Corey said he did a bunch of game shows after that. He hosted Card Sharks, Celebrity Secrets and some others. Howard and Artie goofed around with the idea of playing a game of Injun. Howard suggested that they go to Comedy Central to get that on the air. Howard said he used to play that stuff when he was a kid.
Corey told Howard that his father used to be a DJ as well. He has a star on Hollywood Boulevard for that. Howard told Corey that his favorite line from his father is ''Gentlemen...'' from the Newlywed Game. He goofed around with that for a minute. Howard then asked Corey if his father's wife is from Russia or something like that. Corey just told him that she's a beautiful girl. He didn't want to give up any details about her.
Howard and Corey continued to talk about Bob Eubanks for a while. Corey said his father goes out and does live versions of The Newlywed Game at corporate events. Howard said he should go out and do ''It's Just Wrong'' at corporate events to make some extra money. Howard played with that idea and pretended to do some of his bits at some corporate events. Howard doesn't think that Bob is the key to that being so popular though. He thinks that he could do it himself and do just as well. Corey said they call it The Not-So-Newlywed Game when they go out on the road like that. Corey said his father only does a half our and leaves. He doesn't have to spend much time doing it and then he goes out and golfs. Corey said that his father gets more than ten grand to do those gigs. Howard wondered what he's doing there on the radio. He said he needs a franchise like that.
Howard and the guys brought up how they played a version of the Newlywed Game on the show and how much confusion there was over ''oil and vinegar'' and ''vinaigrette on the side.'' Gary told Howard that Bob already ruled on that and Howard would have lost in the real game just like he did in their version of the game. Howard said that Bob is a cool guy.
Howard asked Corey about his mother and what happened there. Corey didn't want to get into details about that either. Howard then moved on to talk to Corey about his problem with Tom Cruise. He said he has doubled for him in a couple of movies like Mission Impossible 2 and Vanilla Sky. He said that he's upset that Tom doesn't give credit where credit is due. Corey said that he doubled for him on ''Far and Away'' and watched him say in an interview that he did all of his own stunts. Corey said it's just a little pathetic to him. He did some stunts for Tom in Vanilla Sky as well but it was just a car stunt.
Corey said that he had a picture taken with Tom and a few other celebrities and Tom wouldn't release the picture. He assumes that he wouldn't let it out because he was dressed just like Tom. He also said that he wouldn't let them submit stunt sequences from Mission Impossible 2 to be nominated for an award and he assumes he did that because he claims to have done all of the stunts himself.
Howard admitted that they shot his Fartman sequence in ''Private Parts'' with both a stunt man and himself. He said they ended up using his footage in the movie though. Corey talked about his stunt work and the woman he's dating. His girlfriend is only 3 years younger than his father's wife.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that he saw Tom Cruise claiming that he does all of his stunts himself on Oprah Winfrey's show. Howard said he once saw him claiming that he does ''most'' of his own stunts. Robin figures he's talking about the scenes where he's hanging from buildings and stuff.
Corey got in a plug for his web site CoreyEubanks.com where he has a music CD available called ''Hollywood Stuntman.'' Another caller told Howard that he saw Tom Cruise on ''Inside the Actors Studio'' claiming that he does all of his own stunts. Howard said that is kind of lame. He wrapped up the segment a short time later.
When he came back from break he played the clip of Cat and Leo Laporte from ''Call for Help'' talking about how he was the number one searched term on Google a week or two ago. Howard said he heard from a bunch of guys that she's really hot so he had to have her on. He ended up talking about some other stuff first though. He had Margaret Cho on the phone and she wanted to support him. They decided to go with Cat first.
Cat came in and Howard said that she's a cute girl. He said no wonder geeks love her. She knows about computers and she's cute. Howard said she's a Martha Quinn type. Howard asked her about TechTV and where it airs. She said it's on satellite TV. Howard told her that he knows more about computers than she thinks. She asked him if he knows how to partition his hard drive. He said he knows how to do that. He asked her if she knows how to cloak a computer. She was even stumped by that. Howard and Artie goofed around with that for a few seconds.
Cat said that she's wanted to be on the show since she was 14 and she's 26 now. She said she loves Howard but only in a friendly way. She's not sexually attracted to him. Howard told her to forget about his girlfriend and see what she thought then. She said she would date him if he dumped her. Howard told her that he's always single when he's in the studio... but Beth doesn't know about that.
Howard asked Cat about the pictures of her that leaked out to the web. She was topless in them. Cat told Howard that she let a friend of hers take the topless photos. She wanted to keep them for the future so she could show her husband some day. Cat said that she just took her top off when this friend was taking the pictures. He got all embarrassed but eventually got into it. Cat said she knew that he wasn't going to hit on her or anything like that. She told Howard that she posted some of the pictures on her web site, CatSchwartz.com, after she cropped them. It turns out that you can redeem cropped photos and find the thumbnail views. She said she was shocked when she found that out.
Howard had the naked pictures of her so he checked them out. Howard said she's got a nice rack. She said that those pictures are the only ones that got out. She was a little out of shape in the pictures according to Howard. He said she was cute. Howard also heard that she has messed around with girls before as well. She said that she has done that a little bit. Gary told Howard that she had two friends there with her and they were ''cute like her.'' It sounded like Gary didn't think she was all that hot but Howard said she really is cute.
Howard asked Cat about when she started messing around with chicks. She said that she started when she was about 16. She had one girl who she considered her girlfriend but they were really young at the time. She was 17 and the other girl was 15. Howard asked her how that all came about. She said she was going out to raves all the time and she was doing ecstasy at the time. She said the other girl was one of her good friends at a Catholic girls school. Cat told Howard that she found this girl attractive from the start but she didn't see her naked until she started going out with her.
Cat was telling Howard a story about how her father was out of town this one time... Howard interrupted her and told her that he was fully aroused. He was making all kinds of computer references as he was talking about how aroused he was. He said he was 30 gigabytes long and it might be time to ''defrag his hard drive.'' He asked her if she had any viruses. She joked that she did have a virus that entered her back door once. Howard said he wanted to ''clean out her cookies.''
Cat got back to her story. She said her father was out of town so she and her friend got really drunk at her house. She said they were at the dining room table drinking shots and stuff. She said that it was a lot of fun that night. She didn't want to get into too many details other than that. Cat told Howard that she didn't think she was gay but knew that she was bi-sexual. Cat said that was the only chick she was ever with like that. She has kissed some other girls though. Cat said that she's been with her boyfriend for about a year now and she may bring in other chicks to the bedroom some day.
Howard wanted to hear more stories about girl on girl stuff. She told Howard that she and her friends went to their prom and took each other. She was with the younger girl then as well. Howard wanted more details so he slowed her down and asked for more details. She told Howard that they went to this house after the prom and ended up ''kissing and petting'' that night.
Gary told Howard that Cat knows she's into this guy she's dating because he switched her from IBM to Apple computers. She said he was making her a custom font and he told her she needed to switch. Cat said that was so hot that she had to switch. Howard told Cat that he was going to switch to a laptop and he was going to get completely wireless. Howard said he was just doing that just to turn her on.
Howard wanted to see more of Cat's skin so he asked her to take some of her clothes off. She was showing a little bit of clevage. Howard said his C drive was going wild. Cat told him that he has to tune into TechTV and watch her show.
Cat also told Howard that she was on a Playboy poll where another chick beat her out for the hottest chick on TechTV. She said that she was offered the chance to do Playboy but she decided against it. She said she just doesn't want to show her private parts.
A listener called in and said that he just got a boner hearing Cat talking about all of this stuff. Howard asked her to moan the guy's name but she only gave a half hearted whisper of his name. A woman called in and said she was turned on by the chick thing that Cat was talking about as well. She said that she tunes in to watch TechTV just to see Cat as well. Cat said that geeks really love them and she's not using that word in a negative way.
A caller asked Cat if she ever bangs ''nig***s.'' Howard said that was an offensive question but it was relevant if he asked her if she dated a black guy. Howard asked her if she has done that. Cat said that she did date a black guy but she didn't sleep with him. Jeff the Drunk called in and said that he's a fan of hers. He said he didn't know the name of her show but did know that she's on channel 354 on DirecTV. He asked her if she's into third input sex. She told him she's not into it. Howard said he doesn't believe that though.
Chaunce Hayden (ChaunceHayden.com) called in and told Howard that this girl sounded really hot this morning. Howard told him that she looked a little Courtney Cox like. Howard asked Cat if she ever made a video of herself having sex. She said she did do that once but destroyed the tape afterward.
Cat brought along some tech products with her to show Howard. She said the coolest thing she had was a cell phone and how she has a whole web site based on the pictures she takes with the cell phone. She said you can check that out in her MoBlog on CatSchwartz.com. She said that it's TextAmeirca.com that does the picture thing.
Chaunce told Howard he wanted to talk to him about something else but he was so riveted by what Cat was saying that he forgot. He wanted to talk about the Rolling Stone thing and how Howard wanted to do an interview with them. Chaunce said he spoke to the editor over there and they have put together a whole big thing about him. Chaunce said he and Sal the Stockbroker just did this show ''Cold Pizza'' on ESPN2 this morning and ended up getting into a brawl with this guy trying to defend Howard. Howard wondered how people don't defend him.
Chaunce told Howard that if people want to invest in satellite, now is the time to do it. Howard said he has spoken to both XM and Sirrus and XM isn't owned by Clear Channel like some people think. He said they just own stock in the company. Howard said that he does love Infinity Broadcasting and Mel (Karmazin) but everything that is going on is making it impossible for him to do the kind of show he wants. He told Cat about how all of these people seem to be afraid to defend him. He mentioned Christie Whitman again and how she wasn't defending him when she was interviewed by Bill Maher. He talked about how the US Government is turning into Iraq and Iraq is being liberated.
Howard went off on Bill O'Reilly because he won't defend him on the air but off the air he's the opposite. Cat told Howard this might be a good thing because it's a wake up call to the younger people that they really have to get out and vote.
Howard asked Cat to go into the bathroom and take her bra off for him. She agreed and went into his personal bathroom to do that. Artie suggested that she lose the shirt as well. Howard said she'd look much cuter without a bra on. She came out a minute later and looked much more natural. He said her cleavage wasn't as good but it was more natural. She opened her sweatshirt as well so Howard could get a better view. Artie was standing up in the back checking her out.
Howard was wrapping up the segment so Cat asked for an Apple iPod. Howard gave her $500 courtesy of ''Playing it Straight'' which airs Friday at 8 on FOX. Howard told her she can buy her own.
Cat told Howard she wants to talk about this thing called Dildonics. She said that this computer program can take readings from her body while she makes love to a male computer. Then she can send the file to a guy and he can feel what it would be like to have sex with her on the other computer. Howard told her to send him her file when she gets that done. He gave her a plug for ''Call for Help'' after that and ended the interview.
Howard said he heard that Margaret was married to a dude which surprised him. She said that she digs both guys and girls. She said she still likes the ladies but she's with a guy right now. She said that she will bring chicks home for her guy and he likes that. Howard wondered if he's afraid of doing that because he might lose Margaret to another woman. She said she's fine with it all and she's not going anywhere. Howard wondered if she's ever alone with a chick or if it's in front of the guy. She said that he gets to join in on her time with chicks. She said it would even be fine if her guy fell in love with the other chick. She told Howard that her husband can even go out with other chicks when she's not around. She said they love each other and they allow each other to go with other people. Margaret said he'll even tell her when he's with other chicks.
Robin said she could never have that kind of relationship. Howard said he couldn't do it either. He could have one where he's with another girl but that's it. He got jealous of Beth when she was getting dances from chicks at Scores one time.
Howard and Margaret spent a couple of minutes talking about George Bush and some of the strange stuff that's going on. Howard also told Margaret about this senator who wrote a letter to his company asking how they can keep Howard on the air. Then Howard found out that he's part of The Fellowship which puts him up in a house in Washington DC. Howard said it's a whole conspiracy.
Howard asked Margaret about being with women and if she's the ''man'' in the relationship when she's with them. She said that she does take on that roll when she's with them. She told Howard that she has also used a strap-on when she's been with guys as well. After that Howard wrapped up the call and thanked Margaret for calling in. You can find out more about her at LoveIsLoveIsLove.com.
Howard continued to complain about the people who aren't backing him up in all of these problems he's having. He also told a caller that he's going to back off of the Bush stuff and just try to move on to satellite radio. Howard said that he kind of hopes they win against him so he can go back to doing a regular show and interview a bunch of ''Cat Schwartz's'' and learn about their lesbian stories. He told the caller that he wants to go talk to his agent today and tell him he wants to give up the fight and he doesn't want his stations to be fined. He said he could go do a lame DJ thing like Rick Dees or Ryan Seacrest but he doesn't want or care about doing that. Howard said he's not giving up on broadcasting, he just needs to go to satellite. If he doesn't get a good deal there he may not even do that.
The caller changed subjects and asked Howard when Cat Schwartz will be on the E! show. Howard said he'd find out after the commercial break and let him know. He gave the guy a couple of tickets to the upcoming Wrestlemania event as a prize.
Howard played Artie and Dan the Song Parody Man's new song parody to the tune of AC/DC's ''TNT.'' He went to break after playing a few seconds of that. Howard later said that Cat will be on E! in about 2 weeks.
Mariann told Howard she's going to do what she can to save his show and she's starting a web site called Mothers For Howard Stern. She said a lot of nice things about him and begged him not to leave radio. Howard had some sad Enya music playing in the background and said a sad ''goodbye'' to Mariann. She gave him her ''Joy stone'' as she was leaving. Howard didn't know what it was though. He said it was a stone that said ''Joy'' on it. He let Mariann go after that and let Robin get back to her news.
Howard said that after yesterday's show people have been asking him if he's really going to go to satellite radio. He says he's not sure yet. He spoke to his agent yesterday about all of the stuff he talked about on the air. His agent understands his complaints and knows why he doesn't want to be where he is right now. They heard that they're calling this type of radio ''Terrestrial radio'' which was a term they hadn't heard before. Howard's friend Meg Griffin wrote him and used that term in her letter. She works on satellite radio herself so she would know. The guys spent a couple of minutes talking about Meg and how she may finally be falling for Howard. He said that she didn't love him when they worked together when they were in their 20s.
Howard was looking for the letter that Meg sent him but it was buried in a pile of paperwork. He eventually found it and read it. Meg is on 2 channels on satellite radio and said she airs her thoughts on what Howard is going through on her shows every day. She now plays what she wants to play on Sirius satellite. Robin just got a satellite system from them so she's going to listen to her now. Howard thought he had satellite radio on his satellite TV. Robin told him that it's not the same because they have DJs on the real satellite systems. Howard said that's kind of depressing and wondered why they need DJs on satellite.
Meg wrapped up her letter talking about how great it is that Howard wants to go on to do what he wants on satellite. Howard figures after reading that letter that she's ready for him and she's fallen for him. She said she's going to send along some more information about Bush and stuff like that for him as well. Howard said he thinks he should go over to her place today because he thinks he can get her now that he's in this situation.
Howard said he's glad he's on the same team as Meg. They're both against Bush at this point. Howard was making up scenarios about how he could hook up with Meg and then played some music that she might play on her radio show and goofed around with that. Howard told Robin about working with Meg many years ago and how much she was against the commercial music that they were playing on the station they worked at. Howard said that Meg was hot back then. Fred found some odd music similar to what Meg would have played back then.
Gary came in and told Howard about some of the guests that Meg has had on her show lately. The names weren't all that well known though. As they were talking about that Howard said that he really does have to bang her.
Howard still didn't know what terrestrial radio meant. He thought that it meant something about the air but Robin told him it has something to do with the Earth, not the air.
A listener called in and asked Howard why he doesn't have his fans going out to confront President Bush while he's doing a 9/11 memorial thing. Howard ended up talking about how Bush was sitting around a school at the time of the attacks for a minute. Then he brought up how the FCC guy Michael Powell is thinking that some of these new rules about having a 3 strikes and you're out rule might infringe on free speech rights. Howard said that they're just trying to cover up and make themselves look like they're not as bad as they seem to be. Howard talked about that for a minute.
Another caller told Howard about what the definition of terrestrial meant. That led to Howard talking about his meeting with his agent again. His agent told him that the shows have been fascinating lately but Howard doesn't want to be doing what he's doing these days. Howard said he didn't get into radio to be the anti-Rush Limbaugh. Howard talked about what a fat load Rush is and how he thinks that the whole FCC thing isn't tied into Bush. Howard said it is tied into Bush though and he just wants the FCC to fine him already. He said he wants them to do that so he can get out already.
Howard said he has a few pictures from his movie ''The Passions of Stern'' up on his web site HowardStern.com. He showed Robin the pictures and explained what they looked like. They took pictures from Mel Gibson's movie and put Howard's face in them.
A listener called in and asked Howard if he thought the satellite radio people are behind all of this stuff with the FCC. He thought that maybe they planned all of this to force Howard to satellite. Fred played the Twilight Zone music in the background as the guy was telling Howard his conspiracy theory. Howard then spent a minute telling the guy that the satellite radio people aren't prepared for the number of people he's going to have jumping over to their system. He said you might be able to get something in about 7 years from now. Howard and the guys goofed on the guy a little bit before Howard went to commercial break.
Howard moved on to Gary Garver who was out at the TV Land awards show. Howard said that Garver asked a lot of the people there about him and Cybil Shepherd just hates him.
Garver asked Cybil about John Ritter. She was having trouble talking. Garver asked a few softball questions and then asked her about Howard and how he was dropped by Clear Channel. She hates him but did thank him for mentioning her name once in a while. She said she wouldn't make out with him or anything like that. Howard said he wouldn't make out with her either, she's gotten ugly over the years.
Ertha Kitt was also interviewed by Garver. He asked her who she's going to vote for in November. She said she's going to vote for Bush. Garver also asked her a bunch of other questions about various things like Michael Jackson. She had a lot to say about Michael and some of the other stuff he was asking about. Then hit her with the Howard Stern question. She said she thought that Clear Channel should have done it a long time ago. She seems to think Janet flashing her boob had something to do with Howard. She also said she was for freedom of speech so she was all over the place. She said she thinks there should be a border on free speech though. That's not exactly free speech then.
Howard had tape of Gary Coleman being asked about the Clear Channel thing. Coleman said that he believes that self censorship is good but no government censorship. Howard said that he was with Clear Channel for 10 years and it did have to do with government censorship. Howard thinks that Clear Channel taking him off all had to do with him coming out against Bush in the past couple of months.
George Lopez was asked about the Clear Channel thing and he seems to be confused about the situation. Lopez seemed to think that Howard did some kind of stunt that got him kicked off the Clear Channel stations. He said he's a fan but it was just a ''mis-timed stunt.'' Howard couldn't figure out what Lopez was talking about though.
Howard read a letter from a fan who read Al Franken's book (Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right) after he mentioned it and he's now against Bush just like Howard is. Howard mentioned Michael Powell again and how he wants to know about what that guy is up to out in Vegas.
Howard had tape from C-Span with this loon Bill Bennett talking about him. The guy was bragging about how he was out fighting indecency before Howard and Janet Jackson came up. He said that he used to give out a ''silver sewer'' for people who contributed the most filth to the country. Howard said that the only reason he doesn't resign today is because he doesn't want these people to think that they've won. Howard continued to play the tape and listened to the guy talking about the ''inappropriate actions'' of Janet Jackson during the Super Bowl half time show. Howard pointed out some of Bill Bennett's inappropriate actions as well. Howard wondered why CBS is evil for trying to entertain people. He said that CBS didn't know what was going to happen during that segment. He pointed out that Janet Jackson is a very G-rated performer so CBS didn't think she'd do something like that. Bennett also said that you can be funny without being dirty. Howard said he'd like to see him do it then. Howard told him to shut his fat, gambling mouth about that stuff.
Howard said there are guys who are funny when they work clean but most of them are dead. He said someone like Jerry Seinfeld can do it as well but he doesn't want to do it himself. He wants to do a comedy show the way he wants to. Howard and Artie goofed on Jay Leno for a short time about how lame and clean his comedy is.
Artie also pointed out that Larry King once said that he could do a Howard Stern-like show, just tell him what he can't say and he'll say it. Howard goofed on Larry for a few seconds before moving on to other stuff.
Howard said that Tom Chiusano is out of town for a few days so he wrote a phony memo about how they had to find a new word for a man's big thick one. Tom found it and wondered if they were going to have a contest like that while he was gone. Howard did that just to get Tom all revved up.
Howard read a letter he got from a guy who used to be in the National Guard. He wasn't happy with some of the stuff that Howard said about the National Guard when he was talking about Bush being there during the Vietnam war. Another guy understood what he was talking about and agreed with him about what he said.
Howard read an e-mail from a guy who saw Tom Cruise telling Oprah that he does all of his own stunts so he agrees with Corey Eubanks about what he said on yesterday's show. Corey has done some of Cruise's stunts and complained that he doesn't get credit for them from Cruise.
Howard had a few other e-mails he read through quickly. He took a phone call from a guy who told him that he's changed his vote and there's no way he can vote for Bush now. Howard told people not to get bamboozled by Bush's campaign when they start trying to make John Kerry look like he's insane. Howard said he'll get into office and he'll be fine. Howard said that Kerry may flip-flop on some things but any thinking person will change their minds on things throughout their lives. Howard said that Bush has changed his mind on things as well.
Howard and the caller talked about all of the wacky religious right guys who are in office and how they want them out. Howard said he doesn't want to be the guy on the radio talking about that stuff though. He just wants to do a funny show and it's too hard to do it these days. Howard's agent told him that if things have gotten too hard for him on the radio then he has to decide if he wants to leave now or not. Howard said he does his best thinking in his shrink's office and he has an appointment today. He said after that he has to have a serious talk with Robin about all of this off the air.
Howard's not even sure if these satellite radio guys are ready to go with equipment. He said they only have about 50,000 receivers ready to go and they need more like 5 million. Howard would hope that the companies could create a million of the receivers but that doesn't look possible. Howard said he had some talks with these people a few years ago and they just don't have the technology to roll out the receivers fast enough.
A caller asked Howard how he can be for the banning of smoking in restaurants but then complain about the government taking away his rights. Howard said that there is a difference between something that affects your health and the radio. Howard and the caller argued about the smoking laws for a couple of minutes. Howard said that cigarette smoke might kill other people so there has to be laws about stuff like that. He said that his speech isn't going to kill anyone. He took another break after that discussion.
Howard brought up an article from The Star which did an article about celebrities who like strip clubs. He said they have a horrible picture of him in the article but Vin Diesel looks just as bad as he does in his picture. Howard read some other stuff in the paper about how Will Ferrell and Robert Duvall aren't getting along while shooting a movie together. There's also an article about Rob Schneider and how he's not allowed to vote in the Academy Awards because his movies aren't good enough and he plays the same character over and over again. Howard said he knows that Rob hasn't done all high brow work but he's upset that they're not letting him vote. Howard said he heard that Ed Begley Jr. is backing Rob in this but Howard wondered what Begley has been in that allows him to vote.
Howard talked to the woman who came in to get naked for Stump the Booey. She said she's a bartender. Howard asked her what her measurements were. She said she's only a 34-B which Howard found hard to believe. He said that she's got a great ass and belly. He said he doesn't even care about breasts that much. He doesn't care that much about big boobs and he doesn't need it. He's been with flat chicks and he's fine with that. Big breasts intimidate him and he's kind of glad she doesn't have big ones. Howard was touching himself under the console while he was checking her out even though he just had sex last night. He said he could deliver a ''heavy payload'' to her if he could have her. He joked that the love would be so intense that his insides would come out. He said he'd ''stump your booey.''
The woman said that she was 29 years old. The guy, Frank, has never had her but he's known her for years. He's good friends with her brother. The two of them shared a hotel room last night and nothing happened. The guy said that he'd never tell if he's ever seen this chick naked before. Gary asked her if there was anything off limits for her. Robin said ''Yeah, that guy over there.''
Howard spoke to Frank for a minute and then got back to the woman who hadn't given her name yet. Howard asked her about what she was wearing and what she wears at the bar she works at. She also said that she doesn't have a boyfriend at this point but she did get laid less than a month ago. She told Howard about making out with another chick one time. Howard told her that he kisses like a woman and would make love to her like a woman as well. She said when she made out with the other woman there was some breast touching going on as well.
Howard wanted to see what the woman was wearing for underwear. She had little panties that look like shorts from Victoria's Secret on. She showed Howard what they looked like. Howard said that he's seen those type of panties before but he wanted to see hers. He said they look good on her and it's not easy to make them look good.
Howard asked the woman about the guy she was with a month ago. She said that he's a guy she can call just to bang. She said she sometimes calls him about once a week or so to do that. They only do it about once a night though. Then she leaves when she's done. She told howard that the guy can do her for about 20 minutes which seemed to surprise the guys. Howard said he can last about 3 minutes. Artie figures a guy who can go more than 15 minutes must be gay. That led to Howard talking about how fast he is when he's with some women. He has to make excuses. Howard said the chick was so hot that he was done in 30 seconds after the second time. He was too embarrassed to have her back after that.
Howard finally found out the woman's name. It was Theresa. He said he couldn't last more than 30 seconds with her. He was still impressed that the guy could last 20 minutes with her. He said he must have been with her for quite a while if he can last that long. He spent a couple more minutes with Theresa before he had to take a break. He had to do that before playing the game. Frank claims that he will win unless the game is rigged.
Howard said he saw the trailer for Alien vs. Predator but it didn't look that good. He said that he is looking forward to it though. He seems to think that Alien will win because Predator was beaten by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Robin said that Alien is beaten by Sigourney Weaver in every movie too so it could go the other way. Howard said they could make it lame like Freddy vs. Jason where there was no clear winner.
Howard got a call from Gina Gershon who said that she would back him in this FCC/Clear Channel stuff and she's willing to come on the air to talk about it. Howard and the guys spent a couple of minutes talking about how hot she is before getting back to Theresa and Frank and Stump the Booey.
Howard had Theresa get naked behind a curtain for the game. The reason they do that is because they once had a woman back out of getting naked when a guy lost the game. The rules are that if the guy loses, his woman has to get naked so they guarantee it by making her get naked before the game. Howard could pretty much see through the curtain they had in the studio. He couldn't really see details though. She took off her shirt next and then her bra. Howard wanted her completely naked so he made her take her socks off.
Howard interrupted the game to talk to Congressman Gary Ackerman who says he will vote against the FCC indecency bill. Howard said only Ackerman and Serano are going to vote against this bill. Howard asked him how this bill is getting through the system so fast. Ackerman said that it's being rushed through by the right wing and President Bush for some reason. Ackerman told Howard about how he's going to try and stop this the best he can. There are some people who are really troubled by this whole thing according to Ackerman. He said that when you don't support something in the current administration you're considered a traitor. He said the vote is happening today and they're going to be trying to make this a personal thing so that individuals are fined for indecency. Howard said if this bill goes through, he will resign. Ackerman told Howard that he remembers listening to Howard as the whole 9/11 thing was going on and how great that broadcast was.
Howard said he's never seen the government act so quickly on something like this. He has some information about Michael Powell that he will talk about later. Congressman Ackerman thinks it's ridiculous that this bill is being rushed to the floor and he wonders why they are worrying about something like this and not more important things.
Howard told Ackerman about this Fellowship thing he's been talking about over the past week or so and how there is a conflict of interest with some of the senators and congressmen in office right now. Howard told Ackerman that he has inside sources at the FCC and they say that Powell and his people want him off the air either now or after the election. Ackerman said they have to stop this stuff now or it's going to get out of hand.
Howard said if the President signs this thing, he will resign as soon as it becomes a law. He's tired of getting censored every morning as it is and he's done with it. He said he knows what it will bring to his company and what it will do to him mentally. He's not even sure he's going to stay on if the bill isn't signed by Bush. Ackerman told him that he has to stay out there somehow. Howard said he will go on a campaign to get this maniac (Bush) out of office.
Ackerman said that this bill will pass through the House no problem because it's run by the right wing. He said the Senate may stop it. Once again, Howard told Ackerman that he will resign if Bush signs this thing into effect. Howard told Ackerman about seeing Bush appearing on David Letterman's show one time and how arrogant he was. During a commercial break he grabbed a sweater a woman was wearing and used it to wipe his glasses off. He said that shows how arrogant the guy really is.
Howard played the following songs and gave the guys a little bit of time to come up with their answers...
KC came in and said that Howard should just let them walk if they didn't want to take the money. Gary said that they may be disappointed again if they pay all of that money and she's not all that great. Artie said she should make a little breakfast for that kind of money. He then said that it was worth the thousand bucks for him to see her. He really wanted to see her. KC was the only one who didn't seem interested in seeing her... other than Robin. He wanted to whip her with a pencil for that kind of money.
Theresa agreed to do some stuff as long as they paid her the $1000. She had to bend over in front of Howard after turning around. Howard said he wasn't disappointed with what he saw. She had a bad tattoo according to Howard. She turned around and showed him her ass after that. Gary and KC thought she could use breast implants but Howard liked what she had. Artie said he's bang her. Robin noticed that he had a weird look on his face as he was saying that. Gary said he's had that look since yesterday when Cat Schwartz was on the show.
Howard made Theresa pick up some cards from the floor with her ass to earn her $1000. Once she was done Howard and the guys thanked Bally's for the extra money. Howard said that from now on he's not paying chicks to get naked in the studio. If he goes to satellite he's not going to do it anymore.
Howard was talking about women he's seen out on the street walking home on a Sunday morning after sleeping with some guy the night before. That led to KC saying that when you see a chick like that she's a whore and you should hang a sign on her reading ''WHORE.'' That led to the guys talking to KC about the medications he's been on lately for his depression. KC told them about why he was out yesterday after taking a new medication that made him violently ill and extremely paranoid. He said that his skin was crawling like he had bugs crawling on him. He said that he thought there were people sneaking into his apartment as well. KC said he's gotten rid of the seizures that he's been suffering from for the past 10 years and that's it. He's done taking medications the way the doctors want him to.
He said that he's going to stay on the two meds he's on now. One is an anti-depressant. He didn't say what the other one was. Theresa said that KC is a really good looking guy. Howard said it's kind of a waste because he's such a mess mentally.
Howard thought all of KC's hate for women comes from his love for his mother and how perfect she is to him. Howard asked KC about his relationship with his mother and tried to find out where all of the hatred comes from. Gary said that KC seems to think that like 90 percent of the women in this world are whores. KC said it's more like 80 percent. He said that he's going to continue going to his Psychiatrist and they tell him that he's improved since he started going.
Howard took a couple of calls and ended up talking about the Alien vs. Predator thing again. One caller argued that Predator would win against Alien. Howard thinks that Alien would win. They spent a couple of minutes talking about that. Artie thanked the caller for stopping his Dungeons and Dragons game to call in with that.
Howard said that he had to take a break but KC had more to say about the whore thing. He said that he doesn't think Theresa is a whore but he wouldn't date her because she was there getting naked in front of a bunch of guys. Theresa said she's only been with 5 guys in her life. KC said that the number 3 is the perfect number for women to have been with. They spent a couple more minutes on that before Howard let Frank and Theresa go so he could take a commercial break.
Howard said he was talking to Jimmy Kimmel the other day about going to Italy together. He said that they picked a day that they have to work so he can't go. Jimmy told Howard that he'd keep a spare room for him in case he wants to come. Jimmy said his girlfriend will use that room to use the bathroom when she's pretending that she never uses it. Howard said he really wanted to go to Italy and see the country. The next thing he knows, Jimmy books a trip there.
Howard's agent has been telling him about all of the people who have been calling for interviews lately. He said he walked in the office one day and he was on the phone with Deborah Norville. Howard said that Ted Koppel called him asking to talk to Howard as well but his agent told him that he does 25 hours of talking on the radio every week so he's not doing interviews. Howard wants to see these people do four shows about his show that are positive and maybe he'll show up on their dumb shows.
Gary came in and said that Stone Phillips called him and wants to do another interview. He's been invited to Howard's parent's house and he was playing that card with him. Howard said there was something he did one time that he wasn't so thrilled about but he couldn't remember what it was.
He said Katie Couric screwed him over on an interview one time. He said before the interview she was raving about his movie but when they got on the air, she changed her tune and denied saying anything like that to him.
Gary asked Howard if he'd ever sit down with the people of ''60 Minutes.'' Howard said there's no way he'd sit down with them. He dislikes Don Hewitt and he knows that they would screw him over.
Howard says that there are some things that his audience should be reading. He has linked them on HowardStern.com where it says ''Required Reading.'' He said they don't have too much there because he doesn't want his fans to have to read too much.
Vinnie Favale from CBS called in and said that he knows why Howard hates Stone Phillips so much. Vinnie said that Stone tried to get Howard's wife to do an interview with them without Howard being there. Howard put a stop to that one day and it made for great radio. Howard and Robin didn't even remember that. Howard ended up playing some of Vinnie's love tapes and goofed on them for a short time.
Howard said the congressional committee that's got these hearings going on is the same one that invited him to speak back in 2001 about the money he raised for the 9/11 victim's families. He had Robin start her news shortly after that.
Crazy Cabbie called in during the news and asked Howard if he could be the one who interviews him. He said it would be like a big F-You to the media people who aren't getting behind him. Howard told Cabbie ''Let me think about it'' to get him off his back. He said that's his new thing with Cabbie, he just tells him ''Let me think about it'' and he leaves him alone for a while. He said he likes Cabbie but he's really loud when they come in first thing in the morning. Cabbie does overnights and he's there to greet them first thing in the morning. He said Cabbie will yell out ''GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL!'' at the top of his lungs. Artie said Cabbie says to him ''HEY ARTIE, CAN I GIVE YOU ORAL?'' but he uses the other term for oral. After talking about that for a couple of minutes Howard had Robin get back to her news.
Howard took a call from a guy who wanted to plug StopFCC.com where they're trying to get a million signatures to stop the censorship by the FCC. Howard said that he usually doesn't get this political but he's been putting links on his web site HowardStern.com to stories that he just can't get to on the air. They also have pictures of Howard in ''Passion of the Stern'' up there as well. Robin said at least people will stop complaining that there's nothing there on his web site anymore. He suggested that the guys put up some hot chicks there as well.
Howard's old buddy Al Rosenberg called in to tell Howard about the support he's seen for him lately. Another guy called in and voiced his support for Howard, his nigga. He said ''that 'Uncle Tom' Powell'' doesn't stand for all of them and Howard is still his nigga. As the guy said goodbye, it sounded like he said ''Eleven'' so Howard and the guys wondered what that meant. They spent a couple of minutes trying to figure that out but didn't have any luck deciphering it. Even Issac from E!, who Howard calls a wigger, wasn't able to tell them what it was. That led to Howard suggesting that they create a game called ''Stump the Wigger'' where they'd have black guys come in and say stuff like that to Issac who would have to try and tell them what it means.
First thing this morning the show opened to the usual theme song but went right into a Metallica song... no Howard! Yesterday the House passed the ridiculous new bill that raises indecency fines. Howard didn't speak but they did play some clips of people talking about Howard and the indecency stuff that's going on. After that they played the remix of KoRn's ''Ya'll Want A Single'' that Howard played the other day. Someone took clips of Howard talking about the indecency crackdown and mixed it in with the song.
They played some news clips about the fact that satellite radio may be the next stop for people like Howard. Fifteen minutes into the show still no one had spoken. They were just playing audio clips. They had interviews of people defending Howard's show in interviews and saying that he really should go to satellite radio. Is this a sign of things to come? Who knows, Howard wasn't talking.
They played Creedence Clearwater Revival's ''Fortunate Son'' and more clips of various affiliates of Howard's defending him. There were clips of Howard and Robin talking about how they don't know how much longer they'll be there... and then commercials.
Howard wasn't reading commercials this morning either. Artie was the one reading the RJ Stinger and other live commercials. Howard still wasn't saying a word. This was getting scary and I had a pit in my stomach like never before. Had we lost Howard? Did he resign? No one was saying.
They played Bob Marley's ''Get Up, Stand Up'' as they went into more clips of politicians defending him and more music like Thunderclap Newman's ''Something In The Air'' and then more politicians defending Howard and free speech. Unfortunately, Howard wasn't there to tell us exactly who it was defending him.
Chaunce Hayden and Sal the Stockbroker were on ''Cold Pizza'' the other day so they played the audio of that show. Sal and Chaunce attempted to defend Howard against this guy from one of these groups that's trying to ''clean up'' the airwaves. They did their best to defend Howard against this guy who called both Chaunce and Sal ''insane.''
The guys played their ''Radio Killed the Radio Star'' song parody after the clip of Sal and Chaunce. That went right into Foo Fighters ''My Hero'' for a short time. That went right into more idiotic politicians talking about the indecency bill and encouraging others to get it passed. After that they played Richie Haven's live version of ''Freedom'' while they played another clip of a guy defending Howard. Another commercial break was after that. Still nothing from Howard at this point.
The guys had a voice mail from a guy who says he loves the show and listens every day. More TV show clips were played while some other voice mail was thrown in. Some people think that Howard should just do his show. They don't seem to understand that he's not able to keep doing the show he wants to do.
They played a little bit of the Who's ''We're Not Gonna Take It'' and more voice mail after that. Another audio clip from a talk show where people were arguing for and against Howard's rights.
Howard finally broke his silence around 7:20 this morning. He said he has seen the end of Free Speech when the indecency bill was signed yesterday. He said that George W. Has to go now and he has to be voted out of office. Howard said that Bill O'Reilly came out yesterday and said that he wants indecency fines. Bill was on the show telling Howard how he owes his career to him and now he wants Howard off the air. He said he's a liar and he's two faced. Howard was saying all of this while he had Bruce Springsteen's ''Born in the USA'' behind him.
Howard talked about how gay people and how their rights are being taken away as well. Howard said that it's time for Bush to go. He bragged that the freedoms they have on the air these days are because of the stuff he has done in his career. He wants people who are doing edgy shows that he's the one who brought him to the point where they can do that type of show. Now they're all sitting by not saying anything while he's losing his show.
Howard said that Bush and his administration have to be voted out of office. He talked about that smirk he always has on his face and how he had that smirk on his face when all of his companies went bankrupt and stuff like that. He said this whole thing is scary, not just for him but the whole country. The new indecency bill says that individuals can be fined half a million dollars if they say something on the air. That means that they can come to your house and fine you $500,000 if you say something on the air.
Howard said he was up at 3 in the morning getting all pissed off about what's going on. He wonders where people like Hillary Clinton and Chuck Shumer are in all of this. The indecency bill is going up in front of the Senate next so he wonders why no one is knocking on his door to talk about this. Howard said that Bush didn't win the election to begin with and now he's trying to change the constitution of this country.
Howard said that there was one congressman after another talking about how they need more indecency fines yesterday. Howard said that he hasn't done one thing indecent and they won't let him go to court to prove that.
Howard pointed out that the first thing George W Bush did after the 9/11 attacks was get Osama bin Laden's family out of this country. Howard sid it's time to start reading about this stuff and find out what this guy is really up to.
Howard is looking into moving to satellite radio but it's crap that he has to do it. He fought to create what he has created on radio for many years. He said that Bush doesn't know what it's like to grow up the hard way and to work at something to make it work.
Howard was on Michael Powell's personal web page (http://www.fcc.gov/commissioners/powell/) yesterday looking at the pictures that he has of himself with celebrities. He said that it must cost quite a bit of money as well.
Howard said he was surprised at Bill O'Reilly not defending him on his show. There was another broadcaster who said that Howard was up on racism charges. That's not true so Howard said that it's slanderous when someone says something like that.
There's no one out there who will come into that industry if they have these ridiculous fines of $500,000 for individuals. This is going to extend to TV as well so be prepared.
Howard said that their sales manager got upset that Artie was reading the live commercials. Howard said that he won't be able to read them himself if he's taken off the air. Howard took a couple of phone calls and let some people talk about what's going on with the indecency stuff. Howard told one caller about some of the stuff he has been fined for in the past and how ridiculous it is. Howard has toned down his show over the years trying to comply with the FCC ''rules'' that are very vague. He said that he is very close to being off the air but he will move to satellite. He said he will become a spokesman for satellite radio like no one will believe. He said it's not fair that he has to go to satellite because he should be allowed to say anything he wants on the regular airwaves. People don't have to have radios in their homes and they don't have to tune into his show. They can throw out their radios if they don't want to hear what he has to say.
Howard can't believe that more people haven't come to his defense at this point. He told Robin that he loves this medium and he loves doing radio. Robin said that people are now losing the freedom to just turn on a regular radio and tune in to hear something they want to hear.
Howard wonders where the Edward R. Murrough's of today are and why they're not out there calling the President out about this stuff. Howard said that everyone is alright with the sex talk being on after 10pm at night though. Artie said that it's kids that are calling into those shows though so it's ridiculous to think that it's ''safe.''
Howard said that he's going to sit down with the people from both XM and Sirius satellite and talk to them. He can't negotiate at this time because he's still under contract to Infinity for about 21 months or so. He said that if this indecency bill passes the senate, he's going to just not come to work anymore. He's not going to put up with it.
Howard and the guys don't know when the senate vote is for this bill that they're talking about. The guys talked about how the fines will be $500,000 per station, per offense with a $3 million cap per day. No individual can afford to pay that kind of money if they get fined. Howard said that he's the one who will be fined while none of these government officials get fined for not doing their jobs correctly. He pointed out that the head of the INS didn't stop Lee Malvo from coming into this country but he's not held accountable for what happened when Malvo started killing people.
Gary asked what happened to the ''community standards'' and how they can enforce rules like this if Howard is number one in some of the markets he's on in. If he's number one in New York ratings then his fans are the community that the standards should be based on. Howard said it's going to be tough to move to satellite and lose a lot of his audience. He doesn't understand why the government is trying to force him to retire. He's not ready to retire yet.
Gary told Howard that one of the guys who defended him before the vote yesterday actually voted for this indecency bill. He brought in a transcript of the speech that this guy Weiner said about Howard. Gary couldn't believe that the guy defended Howard the way he did and still voted in favor of the bill.
Howard's mother said that it really is a witch hunt. Howard agreed and said that's what he gets for looking like a witch. He said that he will rise up again and asked his listeners to come with him to satellite radio. He said they will eventually try to regulate that but by then, it will be too late.
Howard told the guys that the FCC is not a court or the law of the land but they won't let him go to court to defend what he says. Gary told Howard that 218 out of 219 republicans voted yes for this bill. After hearing that Howard said that he's not going to ever vote for a republican again. He apologized for getting so political on the show and boring people but he can't not talk about this stuff. Fred said this is what happens when someone's creativity is stifled.
Gary said that the bill may go to a senate vote as soon as today even though it's no scheduled at this point. Howard said that if he does get kicked off of his radio station he will keep in touch through his web site, HowardStern.com. He may or may not make the move to satellite radio. He said he could just chuck the whole idea if things don't work out. Howard is doing one interview with a guy from Rolling Stone magazine but that's it for now. No other interviews.
Gary told Howard some of the stuff that President Bush was saying during a speech yesterday and how he's promised a ban on gay marriage and how they're working for a certain culture for this country. Howard said this is a guy who wipes his glasses on a woman's sweater (on Letterman's show). Howard wondered where Dick Cheney is hiding his gay daughter during all of this stuff.
Howard said he knows that he would lose a lot of his listeners if he moves to satellite because of the money issue. He just doesn't see the current situation working out for him. He said all we have left is November and voting out every republican we can. He hopes that Hillary Clinton fights this bill but he's yet to hear from her and has given up hope.
Stem cell research was brought up by a caller who has a son with a lot of medical problems. Howard told the guy that Bush claimed that there were already 60 strains being studied in this country but he apparently lied because there are only 7 from what Howard has read. He went on to talk about how sickened by Jay Leno he is. It's that type of broadcasting that he despises.
A caller told Howard that John Kerry needs money to campaign against Bush. He can't compete with a guy who has $200 million in the bank. He suggested going to JohnKerry.com and give a few bucks to help the guy out. Howard said that might be a good idea. Howard also said that he has links to a bunch of articles on his web site HowardStern.com. He had to take a commercial break after that.
Howard had a game to play where a woman has to try and pick out the gay or straight guys in a line up. He said that they have Sandy Taylor coming in with her friend Kim Richards who is Paris Hilton's aunt. He spent a minute on that and then moved on to other stuff.
Howard is working on his ABC special and the producer for the show attempted to get the chairman of the FCC, Michael Powell, to be interviewed by Howard. Howard said it should have been a cake walk for Powell but they got a letter declining the offer. Howard said that Powell has done interviews with people like Sean Hannity. He'll never do an interview with someone like Howard though.
Howard wanted to have some fun so he brought in this woman who wants to win breast implants. He told her that she has a nice body and might not need implants. She told Howard that they're just really small. Howard told her that she just doesn't know what guys really want. Howard checked out the rest of her body and said that it was great. She's got small, pointy boobs that are smaller than lemons so she wants implants. She's getting laid but she'd be more comfortable if she had implants.
Howard asked to see her boobs and they looked cute to him. They weren't saggy and they weren't all that bad. He told her she's just uptight. He's giving away $1000 that can go toward the implants if she wants. Howard told her that her body looked amazing to him. KC checked out her ass and said that she had a nice stomach. Her ass was a little big for him. Artie said he likes an ass like that though. Gary said that her ass was not that big. Howard told KC that he is no longer allowed to comment on women who come in because he's gay.
Artie said that if Paris Hilton had this chick's ass, she'd be perfect. KC told her that she needs to tighten up the ass a little bit. Howard told him he's gay. Dr. Sal Calabro (SalCalabro.com) called in and said that boobs really are getting smaller and they're putting in more B and C cup sizes than they used to.
Howard asked Dr. Calabro about silicone implants and if they are safe these days. He said that he believes they are safe but women who get them put in have to remain in a study and have to come back and get checked out once in a while. He said that they're also much more expensive because of the liability.
Howard told the woman that if she picks out the straight guy from this line up they have, she will win. If she can't do it, she loses and doesn't get the implants. Howard picked KC as being the gay one in the room so he thought he should win. He ended up talking to KC about how he's not dating anyone right now and how gay he comes off.
Howard moved on to the game of ''Gay or Straight'' where 3 guys came in and the woman had to pick out the straight guy. Howard did a quick interview with the first contestant. Howard asked the guy if he was straight or not. He said he was not. The second guy claimed to be straight as well but Howard said he looked a little gay to him. The third guy claimed that he was straighter than the other two.
Howard asked the guys what their favorite colors and favorite movies were. They tried to get a feel for who was gay but the woman, Tara, was having trouble figuring out which one was the straight guy. The third guy actually works there at the radio station in sales. Howard didn't know him even though he's right across the hall from him every day.
Tara asked Howard to continue asking the guys some questions to help her out. He asked them what their favorite Broadway show was. The first guy claims that he's never been to one even though he's an actor. The second guy said he was forced to see ''Grease'' one time but he didn't like it. The third guy claimed to have taken his girlfriend to ''Beauty and the Beast.''
Howard told Tara not to give her answer right away. The first guy asked if she wanted to kiss them to try and figure it out. She wasn't sure if that would help though. She said that she has some gay people in her family and she knows how they act but it wasn't helping her with this. Howard asked the guys if they watch ''Sex and the City'' or ''Will and Grace.'' One guy said he's seen a few episodes, the others weren't talking.
Howard asked the guys which guy they would sleep with if they had to, Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. All three said they wouldn't want to do either of them. He asked the guys what celebrity hot chick they like. One said Pam Anderson, one said Angelina Jolie and one said Natalie Portman. Howard thought the Natalie Portman thing was kind of gay.
Howard asked the guys to give just one name of a baseball player. Two of them quickly came up with names and the third guy couldn't come up with one. After all of that Howard made Tara make her choice. She said something about the third guy that got the delay button hit. She then tried to pick out the straight guy. She thought that they might be trying to trick her. She said that number 2 has to be gay. She wasn't picking out the straight guy though. Howard asked her to pick out the straight guy already. She finally went with number 3 as the straight guy.
Tara told Howard that it was his attitude and his look that made her choose him. Howard kept her in suspense for a minute and then revealed that number 1 was gay and so was number 2. The third guy turned out to be the straight guy. Tara won $1000 courtesy of ''Playing it Straight'' which airs on FOX tonight. She also won the breast implants from Dr. Sal Calabro.
Gary told Howard that the two of the gay guys were provided by MyGaydar.com. Howard spent a minute talking to the three guys about what they do. The third guy wondered if they think that he's gay for some reason. He said he's not gay and encouraged anyone who wants to advertise on Howard's show to call him there at the station. His name is Paul. One of the guys got in a plug for his theater company, Light Box Theater. Their web site is LightBoxTheater.org. Howard had to go to break after that.
Howard said that Sandi Taylor was sitting in the studio and he liked what she was wearing today. He told her to let them take some pictures of her so they could throw them up on the web site today. She wasn't wearing a shirt under her suit jacket which he really liked. She wasn't wearing a skirt either, just the jacket and thigh high boots. She can't open the jacket because she's nude under it.
Howard asked Sandi to talk about what she knows about what's going on with his show. She said they're trying to take away Howard's free speech. He gave her a 100 score for that and then found out that she's not wearing any panties under the jacket she was wearing. Howard asked her how many buttons are on the jacket and how she can not wear panties under that. He wanted to check to see if she really wasn't wearing panties. Howard had her stand up so he could check her out.
Robin said Howard was talking about how he was handling himself one day and when she went over to talk to him, his zipper was actually down. Howard told her that he had forgotten to zip up after going to the bathroom so that's why it was unzipped. He said he only plays with himself over his pants during the show.
Sandi told Howard that she didn't bring in Kim Richards, Paris Hilton's aunt, because she was up late last night after finding out there was a death in the family. Howard gave Sandi a plug for the show where she'll be signing autographs called the Super Mega Show. You can find out more about it at SuperMegaShow.com.
Howard got Mike Walker on the phone so they could play his Gossip Game. Mike talked about the amazing poster that Sandi put out years ago and how hot she was in that. He was putting on his sex voice as he was talking about it. He was also talking about how he was wearing his Harley shirt and about riding his motorcycle. Howard was still waiting for Sandi to give them a gossip story of her own. He said she knows a lot of gossip, possibly more than Mike knows. Mike said he knows that because he's had lunch with her before. Mike and Howard talked about how hot Sandi is and she had never heard Mike sound like that before.
Howard moved on to Mike's game after he creeped him out with the way he was talking about his bank teller. Here's how the game goes... Each week Mike Walker calls in with four gossip stories. Three of the stories are from his National Enquirer gossip column. One of the stories is false. Everyone tries to pick out the false story. The stories will appear in Mike's gossip column each week after he plays with Howard. Here are this week's stories:
After Mike got off the line Howard spent a couple more minutes talking to Sandi. She said that she loves the laughter that Fred plays during some parts of the show. It's one of the George Takei laughs that they play that she thinks is so cute. Howard asked Sandi if she has ever made love to a woman before. She said she hasn't so Howard asked her to swear to God that she hasn't. She doesn't like saying that though and refused to say it. Sandi said she didn't want to talk about a kissing scene she did with a woman one time. She wanted to be professional today and didn't want to talk about that stuff. Sandi said she's actually a very tame, very good little girl.
The E! guys had some of Sandi's nude pictures for the guys to check out. It was a scene from the movie ''Lady in Waiting'' in which she appears topless. (Check out MrSkin.com for the pics). Howard wanted to unzip himself and look at her pictures.
Howard spent more time talking to Sandi about what she's doing these days. She talked about her workout and what she wears when she goes there. Howard wrapped up the interview a short time later and gave Sandi another plug for the Super Mega Show she's appearing at. He went to commercial break after that.
Howard read an article in Entertainment Weekly about the funniest people. Ellen Degeneres was number one while people like Bill Murray and Jim Carrey were down at number 7 and 10. Howard said they must have been out of their minds when they put that list together. Artie said that Kelly Ripa was number 25 on the list. She was tied with comedian Dave Attell. Sarah Silverman was number 24. It was a whacked out list according to Howard.
Howard read an article about this senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts who was behind the bill that's going through the system right now. He has close ties to John Kerry so that's not looking good for him. He said he'd still rather get Bush out of office because he's gloating about all of this stuff.
A reporter from Forbes magazine called in and asked Howard what Bill O'Reilly was saying about him. Howard spent a couple of minutes talking to the guy about all of the stuff going on and how no one is stepping up and defending him. He didn't understand why this guy was defending him either because Forbes is just as bad as a Rush Limbaugh. The reporter said that this won't be the end of his show because the half a million bucks isn't that much for fines. Howard ended up getting pissed off at the guy and yelled at him about some of the stuff he was saying. He had to hang up on the guy after he called him ''the Martha Stewart of radio.''
Howard and Artie were talking about how ridiculous it was for the guy to say that half a million dollars wasn't that much money to Howard. Howard said he's not going to wait for the government to fine him either, he's going to bail out before that can happen.
A listener called in and told Howard that the local TV stations in his area are doing their best to crucify him when they get a chance. They are all dancing in the street according to Howard and they can't wait until he's off the air. The caller and Howard spent a couple of minutes talking but Howard was getting sickened by it all so he had to get off the line. The guy was lecturing Howard in a monotone that he just couldn't take.
Howard said this whole thing is crazy and it's like they're doing a lynching on him. He saw all of this coming after the Janet Jackson thing happened. He spent a little longer talking about that before going to commercial break.
Howard said he couldn't stop thinking about Sandi Taylor not wearing panties under that jacket she was wearing. He wanted Robin to consider doing that sometime. He suggested that she do that tonight but she's flying down to Orlando for a visit. She and Mr. X are going to Disney World as well so Artie told her she should try the log flume ride down there. Robin said she's not going to get on that ride though. She started her news shortly after that.
