Howard started off the show talking about how he was still waking up early over vacation. He said he can't sleep past 6am. Robin said she fights to stay up late. Howard said he does that but he still can't wake up later than 6. Robin said she would get up around 8 or so after staying up until like 1 or 2 in the morning.
Howard said he was up until 1 in the morning dancing with Richie Notar. He said they were dancing alone too. He said that after 12:30 at night he turns gay.
Howard said that Tatum O'Neil was picked up for trying to buy crack cocaine over the vacation. The article that Howard read said that she claimed she was doing research for a role. Robin said that Steven Tyler has gone into rehab too. She said that he wanted to go in for a ''safe place'' to stay.
The guys talked about those stories and how lame it is to claim that you're researching a role when you get picked up for something like that. Artie said that Tatum is on ''Rescue Me'' so she is working.
Howard read the article about Tatum's arrest. They were claiming she was trying to buy crack and cocaine. Artie said that he's never smoked crack or coke and he thinks that he'd rather have just coke. He said the crack is just an easy way to free base. He said that the regular coke is a party and lasts longer than the crack would.
Artie said that Tatum was always a heroin person as far as he knew. He said that she must be getting more social.
Howard read more about the arrest and how Tatum was asking the cops if they knew who she was when they picked her up. Howard read that she had been clean for two years and she had just come out that day. Howard also read that she was charged with possession of a controlled substance. They went through some of her past in the article as well.
Howard said that Tatum has 3 kids but her ex-husband John McEnroe has custody. Howard said that he's met John and he seems pretty normal.
Howard asked Artie how his vacation was and Artie talked about how he shot this HBO show taping. He said that it's not his own HBO special but he is one of the bigger stars on this special. He said that things went really well and all of the bits were fine.
Artie claims that he finished his book over vacation too. He said that it's in the hands of the editors at this point. He said he wanted to get it out by Christmas so he just went in and got it done. He said he was very productive during vacation. He said that he tries to do that kind of stuff over the weekends and tries to act like an adult.
Artie said that they think that the book will be out by November 11th which will be good for the holiday sales.
Artie said that he has a cousin with a thyroid condition and he loses his hair because of that. That's what they're telling him might be wrong with his arms losing hair. Howard had pointed that hair loss thing a little earlier. Howard and Artie talked about the hair loss and how strange that is.
Howard asked Robin how her vacation was. Robin said she hung out at her shore house and had some friends over.
Howard asked Fred what he did. Fred said he had some stuff to do with his daughter. Robin said she also went to see the ''Sex and the City'' movie. Howard said his daughter wanted to go see it and it was sold out. Robin said she liked it and it was pretty good. Howard said that he wanted to see it.
Robin told him that there was only one guy in the theater and all of the women were talking to him. Robin said she didn't drag Jim to the movie and said that she brought a girlfriend and that's the way women are supposed to do it.
Robin said the only problem with the Sex and the City movie is that the people going to see it were dressing up like they were going to hang out with the girls in the movie.
Howard told Siobhan that he sounds more masculine than ever. Siobhan told Howard that he had a guitar for him if he wanted it. Howard said he was done collecting now that he's offered him the guitar. Siobhan said it was hand painted. Howard told him to please not send it to him. He didn't want Siobhan's guitar.
Siobhan told Howard that it would be a good way to remember him. Howard told him he didn't want to remember him.
Howard asked Siobhan about the Tatum O'Neil thing and asked if they traded phone numbers. Siobhan said that they did that for a little while. She said that she was always very kind to everyone. Siobhan said that it's very hard for people to stop doing that stuff. Siobhan said that she was never that bad with it herself. Howard thanked Siobhan for that fascinating medical history.
Howard thanked Siobhan for calling in and told him he hopes he had a good Memorial Day weekend. Siobhan got off the line a short time later.
Artie asked Howard if he would rather be one of Siobhan's cats or High Pitch Eric's dog. Howard said he thinks that he's rather be one of Siobhan's cats. He said he wouldn't want to be that dog. Robin was having a tough time deciding so Artie told her that the dog is probably getting fucked by Eric. That led to Fred playing some clips of Eric talking to his dog Sadie during the Craptastic show he did a few years ago.
Robin said that Scott Weiland was having some trouble putting some words together when he was apologizing to the audience at the Stone Temple Pilots show. Howard said he would love to interview him again and ask him why he was late to start that show. He said that he wonders what he had to do that was so important that he had to start the show late.
Robin said that she heard that Scott was just sitting in his dressing room refusing to come out for an hour. Howard said that it must be great to be a loon like that. He said that he'd never be able to do something like that. He said he must need that attention and he must love to attract attention.
Howard said he'd love to know what he had to do that was so important. Scott the Engineer came in and said that his son was at that concert and they had some kind of texting thing up on the stage where people could text and get their messages shown. One person wrote that ''Robin Quivers was sitting in front of me with some white guy.'' Robin said she had forgotten about that. She said that people were actually texting back and forth and arguing with each other.
Howard said that he heard that Tim may have bleeped something that he felt he had to and Bubba ended up getting upset with him. He said that it was kind of entertaining. He said that Bubba seems to have this paranoia about everyone conspiring against him.
Howard played the clip where Bubba asked Tim why they were bleeped and Tim was yelling at him not to call him on the air and to talk to him after the show.
Tim came in and said that he was just trying to protect Bubba by dumping out of something about his personal contract. He said they just don't get into that stuff on the air. He said that Bubba didn't call him back after he tried calling him yesterday.
Howard wondered why there's so much drama going on. Tim said he's not sure. Howard told Tim that he would call Bubba himself and talk to him about this.
Howard said that he heard about that fight and wondered what was going on. He said that he kind of likes those fights though.
Howard asked Robin about the texting thing that was going on during the STP concert. He asked if people are still shocked that Robin is dating a white guy. He said it's crazy that people are still shocked.
Howard asked Robin if she's willing to admit she's in love with Jim. Robin said that she'd like to move on. Howard heard that she was really into this relationship. Robin said that there was an article in Page Six saying that people think that it's just a publicity stunt.
Howard said that there were some more song parodies about Robin that some fans sent in. He played a couple of those. Howard asked Robin if she covers up her body when she's around her men. She said that she's not that free and she covers up. Howard asked if she'll let a man see her ass. She said she likes to keep an illusion going.
Howard told Gary to give those new songs to Fred so he can play them. He had a couple of songs from the Bleeding Deacons so he played one of their songs about her. They mentioned spanking their monkey during that song so Howard talked about how he spanked his monkey last night. He said that he did that to a Carmen Luvana movie. He said he gets disgusted with himself and he throws those movies out eventually.
Howard said that he's like a 12 year old because he still jerks off even after getting laid a lot during vacation.
Artie said that he has to update his porn collection because he doesn't really have anything new. Howard said that he had some old porn that he was checking out last night and it was just awful. He said the women all had big bushes and there was a narrator talking about what was going on. He said it was really bad.
Howard brought up the bit that Sal did with Gary the Retard where they called him and asked him if he was still smoking. Gary claimed he wasn't but eventually broke down and said he was. Gary was supposed to have quit smoking because he has this COPD thing going on. The doctors told him he has to quit.
Howard played the call that Sal made to Gary where Gary was claiming that he had flushed all of his cigarettes down the toilet but then revealed that he hadn't. Sal and Richard called Gary over and over again about the cigarettes and kept tricking him into admitting he was still smoking.
Howard said that Gary is apparently still smoking. Artie said that he really smokes hard core too. He said that he can suck in like half a cigarette when he's smoking.
The caller asked Howard what his favorite Alec Baldwin movie was. Howard talked about one of his movies, Miami Blue, and then brought up this movie he was going to do called ''The Babysitter'' but backed out. they went ahead with the production and he heard that it's coming out soon.
Howard said that he thinks that Steven Spielberg has lost it as far as the Indiana Jones movie. Robin said that the movie was directed just fine but they really need a younger man playing the party of Indiana. Artie said that the movie made like $311 million in the first weekend so they must have done something right.
Howard said his favorite Alec Baldwin performance was this one where he yelled at his daughter on the phone. He played the clip from that.
The caller asked to plug a play that he's part of called Point Break Live. He said that he's doing it out in San Francisco. Howard figured out that the guy wasn't even a full time actor and said he doesn't like when they do plays like that.
Howard said that he has to stop watching that shitty show ''Lost.'' He said that the season finale was 2 hours long and apparently didn't like it.
Howard said that they're having Mary McCormack in later this week to talk about her new play that she's in. He said that he's seen some previews of the show and she's got some huge tits in the pictures he's seen. He said that they might be bigger than they used to be.
Howard said he got to feel up those titties before Mary had her baby. He said that she had one of those fake baby belly things on when he felt her up. He told the guys about how he improvised the kissing and the titty play that he was doing. There was nothing in the script about doing that stuff so he just went ahead and did it.
Howard asked if it was gayer to go see Sex and the City or go to a 3-D movie where you have to wear those dorky glasses. He said that he thinks he could go to see Sex and the City because he's used to watching it at home.
Howard said he was watching Battlestar Galactica yesterday and then realized he had to watch ''Lost.'' He said that it was terrible. He said that he thinks he's done with ''Lost'' now because it was so bad. Robin said she's done with ''Smallville'' and had to bail out in the middle of the season. She said that it's still on her TiVo but she can't watch it. They had to go to break a short time later.
Robin said that she met Opie and Anthony over the weekend at the STP concert. Robin said that everyone was a little nervous about them all meeting but Robin said that they were all nice people.
Howard said that he's proud to be part of this SIRIUS thing. He said that 90 percent of his day he has SIRIUS on in his house. He said he loves listening to their show and to some of the music channels. He said that he would love to produce a Dracula Gottfried show if Gilbert was up for that. He thought he was great doing the special shows last week.
Howard said that he knows that Fred Gwynn and Grandpa Al Lewis were a pain in the ass to work with from what he's read. He said that that's why they ended that show because they were such pains in the ass. He said that even the woman who played Lily was a pain in the ass at first. He said that he read that she used to hide in her trailer, kind of like Scott Weiland, and would refuse to come out to do her scenes.
Howard said that Fred Gwynn was 40 years old when he did that show back then. He said that he apparently didn't like doing those shows.
Robin said that she loved that interview that Stuttering John did with Fred Gwynn. Fred tried to pull it up to play it.
Howard said that he was listening to some of the classical music on SIRIUS and he started to get into some Buzzsaw, Chill and other things. He said that he had one of the electronic beats channels on and that's when he started dancing with Richie Notar.
Howard said he hopes that the merger goes through so they can have one great company on satellite. He said that this is the longest decision making thing that the FCC has ever had. He said the decision is easy but they're dragging it out thanks to these lobbyists.
Howard had an article about the merger and how Clear Channel spent $760,000 in just one quarter of a year trying to lobby against this merger. He also read that this is the longest decision process that the FCC has ever had with anything in their history.
Howard said the FCC is saying they may have a decision on the merger by the end of June. He read another article where they talk about some of the demands that organizations are making for this merger to happen. He read the article about this consumer coalition for satellite radio. The writer pointed out that the group is backed by the NAB and it's not there to help consumers. Howard said that this stuff should piss off the FCC when the NAB creates a group like that to fight the merger.
The guys were all laughing their asses off when they heard that. Howard said that he loves how John was doing that creepy low voice thing during that interview. Artie said that he had never heard that whole thing before. He said he started to like that Fred Gwynn after hearing that.
Howard said he was watching some coverage for this NASA thing that landed on Mars over the vacation. He said that the people there always act like it's a surprise when something actually works. He said that they start clapping and get excited when they make something work. He said that they should be doing the same thing there on the show and applaud it when they get something to work. Howard said that his math teacher should have done that when he got something right in class.
The caller brought up the Radio Hall of Fame and asked Howard about that. Howard said that he would never accept an award from those people because they shouldn't have to put him up against anyone else, they should just give him the award for what he's accomplished. He said it's an insult for them to nominate him against other people.
Howard took another call from a guy who said that he loved that episode of Howard TV with Nikki Ziering in the tickle chair. He asked why they don't rent the Sony Imax theater and do a special broadcast where they watch that episode in the theater. Howard said that they do take some of those older shows and put them on Howard TV so the fans can see them. He said that it was a pretty amazing episode.
The caller said that he was watching the episode with his pants down around his ankles. He said that she was in a yellow bikini and Howard came out in his bare feet and did the tickling thing with Nikki. He said he wanted Nikki to see his feet at the time.
Howard thanked the guy for his call and let him go. He said that they're not going to be getting the Imax theater to watch that show.
Howard took another call from a guy who said that he does a great High Pitch Mike impression. Howard cut him off and asked what it was he wanted. The guy went into his impression and he wasn't that far off. Howard said that it was a good impression. Artie said that it was making him smile. Howard cut that guy off too.
Howard said that he didn't like the bullshit with that guy. He went on to talk about how they fucked up those reality shows. He said that the premise of the shows was great but the Denise Richard's show was so dull that they turned it off. He said that he tried to watch the Dina Lohan show too but that was boring as well. He said that they should have been interesting but they ruined them.
Howard said that Denise Richards was trying to do something for her dog during that episode that they watched but it was just boring. He said that Denise has 3 pigs that live in her house and she's supposed to be mental or something because of that. He said that the show was unbelievable.
Robin said that the one with the Cardashian chick on it is unwatchable too. She said that one is on E! as well. Howard said that one is a hit though.
Janks also said that he liked that Wack Pack special that they ran last week. He said he didn't leave his radio the entire week. Howard thanked him for that and let Janks go.
Howard said that he's looking forward to this new movie that's coming out soon. He described what the movie was about and how the character becomes a Playboy bunny and moves into the mansion and eventually has to get kicked out because she stayed way too long. He said he liked the commercial for it and it looked funny to him. Fred said that Fred Wolf was the director of that movie.
Howard said that he can't imagine the luck of being born a pinhead like that. Lisa said that he hates that pinhead name. Howard said that Beetlejuice is a brilliant name because they took it from that Beetlejuice movie when the people's heads were shrunk.
Howard said he went back and watched ''To Kill A Mockingbird'' and talked about how great that movie was. He spent a minute on that.
Lisa asked Howard if they have any updates on his wedding. Howard said there is something that he's working on with Jimmy Kimmel but he didn't want to say what it was. He said that he wants to keep it a surprise.
Howard mentioned that Albert Brooks is brilliant. He's thought that for a long time now. He said he was watching an interview he did and he was talking about how he came up with this idea for the new movie he's doing. Howard said that the guy said that he just watched politicians making wild claims and uses their ideas to make movies. Howard thought that was pretty brilliant.
Artie told some stories about Albert Brooks. He had one story about a friend of his who was in a movie with Brooks. He said that the guy told him that Brooks asked him if he was good at improv and the guy said he was. Brooks told him to try to stick to the text and not improv at all.
Lisa got back to her preview and said that Richard Christy is going to be playing drums for the band Caninus. They're going to take some drum tracks and come up with some new songs. He may go play live with them too. Howard asked Fred to play some of that band's stuff. they've played it on the air before because they use a dog to do the ''singing'' on their songs. Howard said that they probably don't have any problems with that lead singer. He said the dog probably gets more pussy than anyone in the studio too.
Robin wondered what the dog's name was. Richard came in and said he didn't know but he'd find out. Fred said that he saw two names, Budgie and Basil, as the names of the dogs.
Richard had them play some other stuff that sounded similar to that Caninus stuff. Howard had Lisa get back to her news preview after that. Lisa said that Riley Martin is claiming that he's seen the Crystal Skulls. She also said that Craig Gass was on Sex and the City and tried tog get invited to the new movie but he was turned down. Howard said that he was only in one episode.
The song parody was to the tune of Simple Minds' ''Don't You Forget About Me.'' That led to the guys talking about the song and how Billy Idol passed on the song and Simple Minds took it instead. Gary also mentioned some other stuff about Tommy James that seemed to be wrong according to the research that Fred did. That led to Howard saying that he used to believe everything Gary told him until he told him that his favorite cartoon character was ''Baba Booey.''
Gary tried goofing on Howard by telling him that at least he didn't have his chin shaved. Howard said he didn't have his chin shaved, he had some fat sucked out from under his chin.
Artie said that he was told he can't joke about President Bush at all. He said that they can't talk about sex in their acts either. Artie said that they weren't sure what Gary was going to be doing there so he has to go over that stuff with him. Gary said that Mike Morse is writing some stuff for him to do there.
Gary told one of the jokes that was written for him but Artie told him that he can't say ''broads'' or ''tits'' so that joke was out. Artie said that they can do jokes about doing drugs and drinking but it has to be him doing the drugs and drinking. Artie said that he can't talk race, sexuality, religion or anything like that.
Dominic Barbara called in a short time later and asked Gary if he's really going to go through with this. Gary said that he is. Dominic thinks that it's wrong for Gary to go since he has kids to take care of. He doesn't get why he's taking the risk and actually going over there.
Artie said that he was told that when the troops over there heard they were getting a show there, they were ecstatic. He said that they're desperate for entertainment over there. He said he can't say exactly where they're going though.
Howard said that Gary isn't even funny so he's not sure why he's even going. Dominic said that he doesn't think that everyone there is going to get the Stern Show references. Gary said that they're not doing Stern Show references. He said that they'll be telling jokes.
Artie said that he feels like this is just doing something to help the troops out in a small way. Howard said he can't believe they're going to be on a 22 hour flight. Gary said the longest he's ever been on is 7 hours.
Dominic was still going off on Gary but Howard had to cut him off so he could go to break. Artie said that they told him to bring everything and anything he could bring over there when they go. They need to bring as much stuff as they think they need. They're going to be sleeping in tents over there.
Artie said that the woman told him that they knew that he was a heroin addict and they're not sure what they'd be able to do for him if he goes into withdrawals. Artie said that they are letting him bring his Subutex with him.
Artie said that he's going to do some impressions for the troops but when he started to tell some jokes that he thinks he could tell, Gary told him that he heard they can't even curse. Artie said that they told him they can curse but they have to keep it to a minimum.
A caller told Howard that he appreciates what Gary is doing and he can't believe that Dominic is trying to talk him out of it. The guy is in the military himself and he thinks it's great what Gary is doing. He said that those troops are risking their lives and Gary is willing to do the same to support those guys.
Howard said that it would be cool if Artie and Gary ended up in a battle and they picked up guns and killed the enemy and ended up with Purple Hearts and stuff. Gary said he pictured them in hoods on camera after being kidnapped.
Howard said that if Gary gets beheaded over there they're going to get the head stuffed and hang it on the wall in the studio. Howard said he thinks it would be wild if they didn't have enough troops there and they had to ask Gary and Artie to stick around to help out.
The caller told Howard that he's got some photos from over there in the Middle East. He said he could give his full name out and they could check out the pictures. Howard told him to go ahead and do that. The guy said his name was Sgt. James P. Agular.
Howard asked Artie what was up with him sweating so much today. Artie said that they told him that it's supposed to be like 130 degrees over there where they're going. Artie said that he doesn't know what's wrong but he can't be healthy. Howard said he's worried about him because he's been sweating all morning.
Howard gave Artie some suggestions to kill some time on the flight over there. He said he should get a DVD player and watch like all of the Battlestar Galactica series or something. Gary said that they wouldn't have enough battery to do that. Howard said they could probably plug in on the plane.
Howard kept saying he had to take a break but they just kept talking and talking about this trip. Gary said that they won't know until 2 weeks before what exactly is going on with the trip. They eventually went to break.
Howard said that he had a clip of a newscaster where the woman said ''Senator dead Kennedy'' instead of Ted Kennedy.
Howard also had a clip of Arnold Schwarzenegger calling into the Sean Hannity show. Arnold said that he doesn't support gay marriage. Then he said that he only thinks that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Howard said he thinks that Arnold is for gay marriage but he has to say that stuff to keep the Religious Right on his side. He said that Arnold isn't that kind of dude.
Howard said he had a clip of Richard and Sal calling a guy who buys scooters. Sal made the call and told him he'd be down to sell the scooter soon. Then he tells the guy not to talk to his wife about it if she calls. Richard then calls as the wife and tells him not to buy the scooter because he doesn't have the right to sell it. Then Sal calls the guy as if he's on the scooter and the cops are chasing him because the guy must have told his wife something.
Howard mentioned that they have a big Baba Booey song parody contest coming up. They have a $5,000 grand prize for the winner. He gave out the address and told people to send in their CDs to SIRIUS. You can find out more at SIRIUS.com
Gary brought in Marlena to meet Howard a short time later. She was 19 and said that she just graduated from CSB (Connecticut School of Broadcasting) recently. She said that she was out of school so Howard said that you usually have to be in school to become an intern. Marlena said that she knew a kid who went to school with her and he was working there as an intern.
Benjy said that he thinks that there's a way around that. Marlena said that she never got an interview with Tracy. She said that she did e-mail her resume to her a few days ago though. She said that she wanted to become an intern and that's why she was standing outside trying to make them see her.
Howard said that he has nothing to do with the interns, on purpose, so he thinks that she could get an internship if she did apply.
Marlena said that she gave her resume to Ronnie this morning. Howard said that this girl seems to be a go getter. Gary said that she was standing on cinder blocks trying to make sure she wasn't on the property of the building. She was also outside of the wrong building.
Marlena said that the security guard told her to stand on the other side of the building so that's why she went over there. Marlena said that she has never been in trouble with the law or anything either.
Marlena said that she actually has a job as a promotions assistant over at Q104 there in the city. Howard asked her why she wants to be an intern then. She said that she had this whole plan to be an intern for him and she wanted to go through with that even after she got the job. She said that she got that job and she didn't expect it. She really wanted to go through with the internship instead.
Howard said that Marlena wasn't making sense to him. He said that she already has a job at a station where they're paying her. He told her to go do that and put all of her energy into that instead. Howard told her that it sounds like she's doing really well already by getting a job in the industry so soon.
Gary said that she might think that she'd have better luck there than she will doing production assisting at the other station. Gary said that they may be able to get her in for September since the Summer interns are already there and working.
Howard wanted to give Marlena a chance to talk up a song since she does want to do a show of her own eventually. Howard gave her Ralph on the phone to see how she could handle a talk show. Ralph told her that she has to think about what she's saying on the air because she might just lose her job over there if she keeps this up. Marlena said that she wanted to curse Ralph out but her father was listening.
Howard told Marlena she seemed like a nice girl and liked the way she looked. He said that she's already on her way and has a job. Gary said that some of the interns quit a week or two in so they may be able to fit her in if that happens.
Howard asked her if she would date JD as she was walking out. She didn't get a chance to answer but Artie wanted to hear what she had to say. He said that would be great to have JD interacting with any woman.
Howard played the clip and we hear this woman moaning out the name Bill over and over again. JD said that the woman was on top of Bill as she was doing this. She sounded like a siren at one time when she was yelling out Bill over and over.
Benjy said he was looking at the ''Moaning mom'' and she was a mess. He said she's got all kinds of belly flaps and she was just a mess. They looked at some pictures and talked about how awful everything looked. Howard said that Bill looked a lot like Artie. Howard said he's pretty sure he wouldn't be able to cum with that chick.
Howard had a clip from The Early Show where they were talking about the Sex and the City bus tour. In the clip they talk about all of the stuff that they show around the city that's related to the show. Howard spent a minute on that and then went to break.
Howard said there's nothing like a hot chick who thinks she's really intelligent and she's not. He said that there are no men who could listen to her. Artie said that the wall is way in her mirror at this point. Howard said that she's still showing her chooch out there and no one even cares now.
Steve said that they have a story about Richard the Hairy Mole guy trying to get some money from Artie. He's looking for 10 grand. Artie said he had another letter that went to his mother from someone looking to borrow $32,000 from him. He said that he gets that stuff all the time. Howard said that he thinks that Artie should give Richard the 10 grand.
Artie said that he might give the guy a job but he's not just going to give him money for no reason. Teddy came in and said that Artie had offered that guy a trip to Vegas with all expenses paid. Richard wanted to give that up in exchange for the money.
Teddy said that he still does a couple of things for Artie and Richard still has that phone number so that's why he gets calls from him. Howard said he thinks it's funny that Teddy and Artie are still working together. He told them that they should stay away from each other. Teddy said he's got another request from another guy who wants to be Artie's security guard. He gets all kinds of requests from people like that.
Steve said that they have a story about the teacher who lost her job after appearing on Howard's show. They have some news about Gilbert Gottfried who was up there to record the Dracula Gottfried special. They weren't able to pay him so Gilbert took some empty CD jewel cases as a payment.
Steve mentioned that the History of Howard Stern is going to be rerun in it's entirety the week of June 30th. They have another special coming up soon that Richard and Sal recorded with a porn star. Steve got in plugs for all of that before wrapping up.
Jon Hein came in with his Wrap Up Show preview. He ran down the stuff that they were going to cover today. Artie's trip to the Middle East so the guys ended up talking about that again. Gary said that he had a list of the stuff that they were told to have when they go over there. He said that they told him to bring SPF 100 sun tan lotion and lip balm. He said that they said not to bring the stuff in a tube because it melts from the heat.
Artie was reading some of the jokes that Gary had for the show but they were all jokes that the troops might not get because they may not know the show. There was one joke that might work. It was about him looking like an hour glass with the amount of sand he had coming out of him when he went to take a dump. There were some references to Dave Attell and stuff like that which Artie didn't think the troops would recognize.
Artie said that they told him that if they don't like the show they do and the don't want them to do anymore, they may just have to sit around for a week in some tent somewhere.
Ralph said that Gary wasn't able to take the helicopter landing out in the Hamptons. Gary said that it was just that first trip, the trip home was different. Artie said that he was with Gary and Ralph was right. Gary said that the helicopter was in the clouds and he wasn't supposed to land so that's why he was freaked out.
Jon finished up his Wrap Up Show preview after that. Howard wanted to go to break but Fred wasn't quite ready. Howard had to give him another cue so he could try again.
Howard said that Walter Koenig has written a new book and the main character in the book is named ''Eric Norris'' and he's infected by some parasite from another world. It's all very similar to what they say about Fred.
Howard had Robin start her news after Fred played one of the new song parodies about her boobs. Robin started off with more news about the Clay Aiken story that Howard brought up. Robin also read a story about a Catholic church that wanted to ban an Autistic kid from going to church. That led to Artie talking about how nutty some of those religious freaks are. He said his mother had one of those healer's come to his father's hospital room after his accident. The healer told him that he was going to walk out of there. The guy left and he wasn't even able to blow his own nose.
Artie said that he had to learn how to get his father in and out of a car. He said he had to go through all of that stuff and all it did was upset his mother.
Robin read through some more news about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. She also had a clip of an old woman yelling about Barack and Hillary and how she thinks that John McCain is going to be the next President. Her voice was similar to the old lady porn clip that cracks Artie up so Fred played that a bunch of times. Artie ended up doing an impression of the woman and said that there has to be some miserable guy out there who is married to that.
Dominic Barbara called in with some kind of strange question that no one understood. Howard hung up on him and said that he didn't want to get into it with him.
Robin got back to her news and read some more news about Barack Obama resigning from his church. She had some new audio of a new revered at the church who was going nuts during a sermon.
Robin read some news about the MTV Music Awards that were going on last night. She had some audio clips from the show. They had an interview with John Voight, Angelina Jolie's father, where he discussed the rumors that Angelina had given birth. He said they weren't true. Howard said he met John one night and he seemed like a nice guy to him.
Robin had some more clips from the MTV awards. They mentioned the Transformers movie so Artie talked about how hot Megan Fox was on that show last night. He said she was looking really hot. Robin played some clips of Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise and Adam Sandler.
Robin mentioned that Ted Kennedy is going in for surgery for his cancer today. Howard said that he sees Ted out there giving the thumbs up all the time. He said he couldn't do that himself, he'd just be thinking that he's totally fucked.
Robin had some audio clips of Hulk Hogan and his son talking on the prison phone. Nick was telling Hulk that he wants to do a show when he gets out of jail. Hulk said that he wants his son to work with him on a reality show when he gets out so he can make the most amount of money he can. They were also trying to lay blame on the kid who was injured in the car with Nick by saying that God must have been taking something out on him. Howard said that couldn't have possibly been what they were talking about but Robin said that's definitely what they were talking about.
Howard played another clip where Nick and Hulk were speaking in code. Nick was telling Hulk some stuff in code and Hulk was figuring it out and saying some other stuff in code to him.
The guys were trying to figure out what the hell Nick and Hulk were talking about. Robin said she had some more audio where Hulk's wife was bad mouthing the family of the kid who was injured in Nick's accident. Nick's mother was saying that the mother of that other kid didn't know Nick and that's why she's not sad and she's just angry at Nick. Nick's mom said that she doesn't think that the other woman is suffering but she is.
Howard said that's a lot of grief going on there. The other kid is in a coma according to Artie. Howard said that was a weird tape right there.
Robin quickly mentioned the Tatum O'Neil story. Howard said that he should have Bubba call in to talk about all of that Hogan family stuff. He said that he knows them better than they do. He said that maybe they'll do that later in the week. They ended the show a short time later, right around 10:35am.
Gary said that there are people who think he's crazy for going but he doesn't think it's that big of a deal. Artie said that his mother is horrified that he's going but she's staying quiet about it. He said that he knows that they're going to go through hell over that but he has to live his life. He said he's pretty sure that they've cried over it.
Artie said that he'd like to think that he's contributing a little bit to those guys over there. Gary said that he wants to support them too even though he's not for the war. Artie said that they don't want to hear that over there. They don't want to hear that people are against the war. Gary said that he'd like to know how many of those guys are for the war.
Artie said that those guys are thinking that they're doing something good for Iraq and they want the support. Gary said he's not going to tell them over there that he's not for the war. He said he's going there to support the troops.
Gary said that he told Artie that he was bringing his video and regular cameras with him so he can document their trip. He said that Artie told him that was good because no one else was bringing anything like that over there.
Artie said that Gary is going to be their staff photographer and videographer. Artie said that he has a life insurance policy that should take care of his mother and sister if he passes away over there. Gary said that he's got a huge policy for his family too.
Artie said that he's not afraid of dying but he doesn't want to die in a pussy way. He doesn't want to die of heat stroke, he'd rater get shot or something.
Gary said that he needs a reasonable place to take a shit. That's the only think he's worried about. Artie said that he's not going to be in a good mooed there. He's not even in a good mood after staying in the Four Seasons for 12 hours. He knows it's going to be uncomfortable there.
Artie talked about some of the awful conditions he's been in. He was in a psych ward at a hospital after they busted him while he was at MAD TV. He said that he had to shower after this 300 pound guy and it was just gross.
Gary said that Jim McClure just handed him a note about how there is no alcohol allowed over there when they go on their trip. Gary said that he would have liked to have had some beer over there.
Artie talked about how miserable they're all going to be there and how they could upset some people doing their acts there. He said that he can't see the tour going very well.
Gary said that it's like they're doing a show with a handicap. They have to keep their acts clean and that's the handicap they've been given.
Artie said that he was told that they have to be ready to perform in front of any amount of people. He said that it could be 30, it could be 1500. It's not clear. He thinks that they'll be doing like 7 or 8 shows but Gary thought they were going to be doing a lot more than that.
Jon took a call from a guy who told them that there is no alcohol over there at all. He said that they should also buy some clothes at K-Mart and just leave it over there because the sand gets into it and never comes out. Gary was actually writing all of that down when the guy was telling him that.
Gary said that the one thing he keeps thinking about is where he's going to take a shit. The caller told him that the plane is the last place they'll be able to take a good shit. That's the nicest place that they'll have to go. The guy said the food wasn't going to be that good either. The caller said that he thinks that the troops are really going to appreciate them coming over too.
Gary said that Jeffrey Ross thinks that this trip could save Artie's life. Artie said that he's not sure about that. He said that he doesn't know how funny he'll be by the time he gets on stage. He said he's not sure if he'll be good for those guys over there.
Gary asked Artie what he meant earlier when he was talking about the woman telling him that if there was an emergency, they'd be the last ones out of there. Artie said that if they start bombing them there, they're going to be the last ones evacuated. He said that they're just comedians.
A woman called in and said that the people protecting the guys are very good at what they do and they should be fine when they're there. She said that there was one incident a few years ago but they shouldn't worry about that.
Gary said that he knows that he'll be standing on the side of the stage and someone will do something wrong there. He said that he doesn't think that the guys can bomb there but Artie said he's heard that some guys have tanked over there.
Artie said that the more he thinks about this, the more he thinks it was a bad idea. He doesn't think this is going to go well.
Another caller told Artie what it will be like over there and it will be pretty safe but they will be in a war zone. They spent a short time talking about that.
Artie talked about doing his Rush Limbaugh impression over there but when he did it, one of the younger guys in the studio said he wasn't familiar with Rush Limbaugh. Gary told Artie he's fucked because a lot of the guys there are about this guy's age.
Jon took some more calls from people who wanted to talk about that subject. A couple of women called in and talked about the trip and what they thought was going to happen. One woman told them about her experiences in Bahrain but Artie thought that was more like a resort than a war zone.
One caller said that Kid Rock went over there and he heard that he bombed there. The guy thinks that Artie and the guys won't bomb. He said that they may be bored over there though. He said that things can get kind of boring for them. They had to go to break a short time later.
Benjy said that Marlena was extremely cute and you know that she got away with that because they guards let her stand on the property on cinder blocks.
Gary said that she was a little bit out there but he knows what they're going to be dealing with if they hire her.
Jon took a call from a guy who said that Marlena was boring. Gary thought she was very real and entertaining. The caller said that the one thing that was funny was when Ralph called in to goof on her.
Gary said that the job she has now is probably a lot of just handing out bumper stickers so she may not get to meet a lot of the bigger people doing that. He didn't think it was that bad of an idea for her to try to become an intern there.
Gary said that Annemarie used to give him announcements to make where they'd ask for interns to apply for the job. They didn't have a lot of people applying for the internships.
Gary said that Benjy wasn't receiving college credits when he was working there. He ended up going to a school where he could buy one credit and that's how he kept the internship. Benjy said that he went to this school called Empire State college that doesn't really exist. He said that it's a state school but there are no actual classes. He explained how that worked for him and how he was able to get the credit he needed to keep his job there. The guys were confused by Benjy's story after he told it but they just moved on.
Teddy said that he's already having some issues with Artie. He said that he's supposed to manage the road shows but not book flights and stuff. He said that Artie really needs a personal assistant to handle that stuff.
Teddy said that he knows that Howard looked pissed when he found out they're working together again. He said that Artie was the one who came back to him trying to get him to work with him again.
Teddy said that he wanted to go with Artie on the USO tour but Gary took that spot on the show. Teddy said that he would like to have someone to shit on when Artie shits on him. He said that he will get yelled at for stuff that he's not responsible for and he wants to have someone to yell at.
JD came in and talked about some of his dealings with Artie and how he once got yelled at when he didn't drive up to pick up Artie at the right building one time.
Teddy said that he really needs the money so that's why he's back in it. He said that they have a lot of stuff that needs to be set up on the shows so that's why Artie needs him to work for him. He said that he's had discussions with people producing shows and stuff and they just never did that stuff in the past. JD said that he hopes that Artie yells at Teddy. He'll have the camera to catch it all.
Gary had the electrocution story a few seconds later. He read the story of a Green Beret being killed in the bathroom after a water pump wasn't grounded correctly in his bathroom.
Jon took another call from a guy who said that the code that Hulk and Nick Hogan were using is something called Carnie talk and they use that to talk about stuff in the ring when they're talking about certain things so people don't know what it is.
Jon went to another caller who said that he hates hearing Linda Hogan talking about the other kid who was hurt and how she thinks that she knew that kid better than his own mother. She said that Nick is lucky that he wasn't hurt and the other kid may never be able to wipe himself again.
Gary wasn't that familiar with the story so he asked some questions about it. No one was sure about the story so they had to look up some of the info on the web.
Gary found the article about the Nick Hogan accident and there was no mention of drinking in there like one of the guys was saying.
Jon asked JD about the clip that he had pulled for the Sex and the City bus tour. They spent a minute on that before Jon went back to the phones.
A woman said that she thinks that they're complaining a little bit much about the trip to the Middle East. She said that Gary complaining about a clean toilet was ridiculous. She said that if he's going to do it, they should just go and do it and not complain. Gary said that if they stop complaining about stuff, they won't have a show left.
The guys talked about Sex and the City again and JD was saying that he wouldn't go to see the movie with anyone. He said that he had seen a couple of episodes of the TV show but he doesn't want to go see the movie.
Jon took a call from a guy who complained about how many days they take off every year and how they're off more than they're on. Gary argued with the guy for a short time about that and went back and forth with him on the number of days they're off. The caller said that Howard, Robin and Artie only work from about 6 until noon at the latest and they shouldn't complain about getting up early if that's the kind of hours they work.
JD said that he works 5 days a week and doesn't' get off as much as some of them do. They had to end the show a short time later.
Howard started off the show asking Robin how late she stayed out at the event they were at last night. She said she was there pretty late even after Howard bailed out.
Howard said they were at the Friar's Club with their agent Don Buchwald. They were there to sample some new wines and having dinner. Howard said that Don kept calling him over and over telling him that it was going to be a great event and he'd want to be there so he got the hint that it was important to him. He said that this guy Michael Lynn was there and he had almost worked with him on Fartman years ago so he knew the guy.
Howard said he never goes out on a Monday night but Don kept calling and calling so he figured he had to go. Robin said that it was supposed to be a cocktail hour and wine tasting and then they should have been able to go home.
Howard said the event turned out to be exactly what he expected it to be. It was just a bunch of people standing around talking. He said that Don was very excited to see him there though. He still isn't sure why Don wanted him there though.
Howard said he spent an extra half hour at the shrink's office trying to figure out why he was wanted there so badly. He said that they weren't celebrating Don or anything. He said he's not even sure that Michael Lynn likes him all that much. He said that his partner Bob Shay wasn't kissing his ass enough so that's why he was thinking they didn't like him that much.
Howard said that Tim Sabean just got inducted over there at the Friar's club. He said that Gary was inducted not too long ago. Artie said he's in the club too and he hasn't had time to take advantage of that yet.
Howard said he spoke to Mark Simone the radio guy. He saw people like Bill Boggs and Freddy Roman there as well. He said he has no need to be a member there himself because he would never go there. He said he saw Joy Bayhar there so he spoke to her a little bit. Robin said she saw a picture of Jackie hanging there.
Howard said he had to get out of there so he told people he had to go. Robin said that she felt she had to stay since he was leaving. She said that she stuck around until after the entree.
Jim Florentine was there with her according to Howard. Howard said that Jim was the only one not wearing a suit. Jim told him that he would have if he had known that Howard was wearing one. Robin said that Jim knew that Howard was going to wear a suit, he just doesn't like wearing suits.
Howard said that Jim is really quiet and he doesn't have a lot to say. He asked Robin if he took a valium or something. Robin said that he doesn't. Howard said Jim was just standing there and not talking. Artie said that Jim is usually plotting a joke if he's staying quiet.
Howard said that it's nice that Jim is quiet around Robin because it lets her get all of the attention. He said that maybe Robin is tiring him out and that's why he's so quiet.
Robin said that she got to see the introductions of all of the VIPs in the room and just about everyone in the room was introduced. Jim Florentine even got a mention and had to stand up. Artie said that they're all about that over there, they like to introduce everyone they can.
Howard said he spoke to Mel Karmazin over there and he's pretty exhausted from this merger thing. He said that Mel is trying to make the company successful and he can't get past this hurdle. Howard said someone should write a book about this because it's a crazy story.
Howard said he's known Mel for 20-some years and asked him if he wanted to get together with him. He said that Mel didn't want to. He said he just turned him down flat. Robin said she had a great time with Mel when she hung out with him.
Howard said that he ran into Sally Jesse Raphael at the event last night. He said that he's not sure she even knew who he was. He thought that it was about time for them to put her in a home. He said that he doesn't know what's going on with her.
Robin said she couldn't remember Bill Boggs' name last night. She knew who he was but couldn't come up with his name when she introduced him to Jim. She said that he had to have been able to figure out that she didn't remember his name. She tried to get him to tell Jim his name but he told him in a way that he had to have known that she had forgotten.
Howard said that he had a big meal before he went to the club last night. He said that he didn't want to stay there all night. He wondered what he would have done, stand around and stare at Jim?
Robin said that Mel had to go meet with Ford about something so she heard about that. Howard said that the whole merger thing is a mess and he doesn't get why it's taking so long to hear a decision.
Gary said that he got shots for Tetanus, Malaria, Typhoid and others. He also got some Cypro pills in preparation for anthrax infections. He said that he read in the USO sheets that he got where they say that they should contact the center for disease control. Gary told him he went to a local doctor and they gave him the shots they thought he would need.
Artie said that he was thinking about going to his doctor and asking for some morphine or something to help him get through this trip.
Howard read the note he got from someone about the flight over there and how the military jets don't have sound proofing. The guy wrote about all of the stuff that they would need to bring with them. It was the letter that Gary mentioned yesterday where the guy said that lip balm in a push up tube would melt.
Gary told Howard that a guy called the Wrap Up Show told him to buy clothes at K-Mart because it's impossible to get all of the sand out after you go over there. Artie said that all of his clothes are shitty already so he's not going to get anything new.
Artie said that he just hired a new assistant and he's going to send her out to get his shots and stuff. Gary said that the chef outfits are supposed to be really comfortable and a listener suggested that Artie get some of those to wear. Howard said it would be funny to see Artie walking around in a chef outfit. He'd be ''Chef Ar-Dee.''
Artie said that he got a lot of letters for the assistant job. He said that he literally got thousands of resumes. He said that he's staying professional with this woman and, even though she's cute, she's got a boyfriend and he didn't just hire her because she's hot. Her name is Hillary.
Howard said that if they need more than that then there's something wrong with them. Howard said that 4 and a half hours is more than enough. He said that people get mad at him for doing a short show but he's still doing more than the 4 hours of show he's supposed to be doing.
Howard said that Tim asks about it too and he has to tell him that he's only supposed to be there until 10. That's what his contract says. He said that he shouldn't have started doing shows past 11 because people got used to it.
The caller said that Howard only works 4 days a week. He also pointed out that they never tell people when they're going on vacation. Howard said he will never tell people when he's going on vacation. He said he also wants to cut his days down to 1 day a week. He said he would like to come in and do one four hour show a week.
The caller said that it would be nice if they showed up for a Friday show once in a while before vacations and stuff. Howard told him that he might show up and people should continue to listen because you never know when he'll show up. Howard said that he did a show at 7 at night not too long ago.
Howard asked the caller how many days he works and asked him why he doesn't show up on days when he isn't supposed to work. The guy laughed. Howard said that he'll try and respond to that. He said that he can't work all the time though.
Howard said that Leno is beating Letterman really bad and even Nightline is beating Letterman. Artie said that he thinks that doing Letterman is more exciting for most people than doing Leno.
Howard mentioned that Rosie O'Donnell was going to be calling in today. He said he wanted to find out if she was attracted to Beth when she was on The View. He said he'd like to know if she's ever been with a guy too. Robin said she can't imagine that ever happening.
Howard said that he had some notes about Rosie and he read some stuff about her being molested as a kid. He said that a lot of lesbians have that same kind of past. That led to Howard and Artie doing their Ham Hands Bill impressions and reciting some of his song parody about Robin and the ham hands thing.
Howard said that he was talking to Joy Bayhar about having Rosie on the show and she was still all worked up about Rosie leaving The View. Howard said that he thinks that he has to admire someone like Rosie who tells everyone ''fuck you'' and just walks off shows and fights with people like Donald Trump.
Robin said that she saw Rosie on the new ''Super Password'' show. Howard said he could never do one of those game shows. He said that he knows that he'd fail at it. Robin tested him out with the word ''truck'' and gave him a couple of clues. He got the word after two hints.
Robin tried a second word but Howard didn't have luck with that one. When Robin told him ''Chaos'' he said ''Get Smart.'' When she said ''Mess'' he said ''Farrah Fawcett Majors.''
Howard took a call from Mariann from Brooklyn who said that she never thought this day would come with Rosie O'Donnell calling in. She said that she doesn't get why he'd have her on the show. She said that all she does is spew hatred. Mariann said that this is not on her top ten list of things she'd want to hear on the show. Mariann said that she would like to hear Kathie Lee Gifford on the show.
Mariann said that Rosie bashed Howard before he ever bashed her so she started all of the bad stuff between them. Howard didn't remember that happening but Robin did.
Mariann said that she knows that Robin is totally in love with Jim and she doesn't want to hear anything about it. Howard hung up on her and said that's all he could take with her.
A caller told Howard he heard a clip of the Wrap Up Show where Teddy was saying he could tell that Howard was mad at him for working with Artie again. Howard said that he really doesn't spend any time thinking about Teddy. He said that he suggested that he stay away from Artie but he really doesn't spend time thinking about it. He said he is kind of worried about it but he isn't angry with him.
Robin said that the cooling off period for the two of them wasn't all that long. Howard said that he did get annoyed with Teddy when he came in yesterday. He said that he can kind of see why Artie gets angry with him. Artie said that Teddy keeps talking even when you're talking so you have to repeat stuff to him.
Jeff the Drunk called in and Robin said that it sounded like he was miserable this morning. Jeff said that he was having a good morning though. He said that a good morning is when he actually wakes up.
Jeff gets up around 6 in the morning and takes a shower right away. Jeff said that he takes maybe a half hour to shower. Then he gets a bowl of cereal, Life, Frosted Flakes, Cap'n Crunch or something like that. He's got the Stern Show on that whole time. He said that he has nothing going on other than that.
Jeff said that he might do some laundry. He said he does that every couple of days. Then he'll watch some TV and many hours of that. He said that's basically his job, watching TV. Howard told him that he's basically doing what JD does all day. He might be able to turn that into a job.
Howard asked Jeff what the best thing was that happened to him yesterday. Jeff said there was nothing and his life basically sucks. Howard said that there has to be a job that he could do that would allow him to watch TV. Maybe he could work for the Parents Television Council and pick out the sexual references on TV shows.
Artie asked Jeff if he ever watches TV and sees a job that he could do that he'd actually enjoy. Jeff said no to that.
Howard asked Jeff if he ever had any dreams to do things in his life. Jeff said no to that as well. Howard said that he thinks that Jeff could go to that guy who invented the Segway transporter. That guy has created a bionic arm that is so good that you can pick up a dime with the fingers. He said that Jeff might be able to go to him and get one of those arms. He asked Jeff if he would cut off his dead arm and get one of those devices. Jeff said he would. Howard said he figured he would because the device seems to be really cool.
Artie said that he'd have to be a test subject because Jeff can't pay for anything like that. Artie asked him how much money he gets a month. Jeff said he gets 600 bucks. He pays about 300 a month for rent but then he said he only has to pay half of the rent.
Howard said that he can picture Jeff getting that bionic arm and still sitting there watching TV. He said that he could picture him with a beer in one hand and the TV remote in the other.
Artie asked Jeff how much he spends on weed and cigarettes. Jeff said he can't spend that much because he doesn't have that much. Jeff said that he buys the cigarettes by the carton and it costs him about $150 for 5 cartons. He seemed irritated by the questioning so Artie pointed out that he's always complaining about not being on the show and now they give him the chance and he complains.
Howard asked Jeff how much he spends on the phone bill. Jeff said that his brother pays the phone bill but they have unlimited long distance. He said that he pays the cable bill and his brother pays the phone bill.
Artie asked Jeff what his brother does. Jeff said that his brother works as a welder. Howard asked if his brother ever comes home and asks him why he doesn't work. Jeff said that he doesn't really do that. He doesn't even ask him to contribute anything.
Jeff said that he and his brother don't really fight or anything. He said that he doesn't drink every day but he does smoke weed almost every day. The guys picked up on a new wheeze that Jeff had so Artie ended up doing an impression of that. Fred played a clip of a dog howling to go along with that. Artie asked Jeff what the fuck is inside of him to make that sound.
Howard asked Jeff why he was calling in this morning. Jeff said that he likes the picture of him coughing on Photofiddle. Artie laughed and asked if that was the whole reason he called in. He did an impression of Jeff calling in and saying that was the whole reason for calling in. Artie was laughing his ass off at the sound of that wheeze he has.
The guys goofed on Jeff a little more and Howard told him it sounds like he's got a full day ahead of him. The guys asked Jeff if he has any friends to hang out with. Jeff said he really doesn't. Artie asked Jeff if he ever feels like taking the house out for a drive. Jeff said that he doesn't have his license anymore and he's not getting it back. He can't drive at all.
Howard said that Jeff lost his license after he drove through a corn field or something. Jeff said that the corn field was a different thing. He said that he got pulled over for DUI the last time he lost his license. He said that he had his license at the time he got pulled over. He lost it after that.
Howard asked Jeff if he's known as the town drunk. Jeff said ''Noooo'' to that. Artie said that those trailer parks are known for drunks so maybe Jeff isn't the worst.
Jeff said that he's never even had the chance to kiss women lately. He said that it's been a while since he's been able to do that. Jeff said that it's been a while. He said that he guesses he has kissed girls since High School. He said that it's probably been 10 years since he last kissed anyone. He said it was ''some girl'' that was alive and breathing.
Howard told Jeff to have a nice rest of the day. Jeff asked him to look into that bionic arm thing for him. Howard told him to check back in about 12 years with an update. He marked that down in his calendar. He said that he'll be like 66 years old by then. Robin will be 67. Howard thought she was going to be 68. Howard said that Beth will be like 48 by then and he's not sure he'll be able to be married to her at that time. He said that he thinks she'll hold up okay but he's not sure.
Robin said that Beth had asked for the pictures and that's why she was passing them along. Howard said that she's never going to see them. Robin said that she wanted to burn those pictures too because she didn't' look so good in them either.
Howard said that his face is so unphotogenic and he looks like an alien in them. He said that was 2 years ago and he must look worse now than he did back then. He said that he does what he can to look good but he can't imagine that Beth loves that face of his. He said that he's never seen anyone uglier than him. He said that Benjy is 10 times better looking than him.
Artie told Howard that Joey Ramone is much uglier than Howard is. He said that Howard looks like Fonzie compared to Joey in high school. Artie said that he thinks that Howard looks exactly the same as he did 10 years ago. Howard thanked him for that but he doesn't believe it. They had to go to break a short time later.
Lisa G came in with her Howard 100 News preview. She said that she spoke to Beth about the dress she had designed for their wedding and she had a correction about who made it. Lisa gave out that info because they had the wrong name in Page Six. Howard said he can't imagine anyone cares other than Lisa. Robin said that it's big news to some people. Howard said that it was apparently a big deal to Beth too.
Howard said that Joy Bayhar was asking her why he was getting married. He said that he told her that he loves her and it seems like the right thing to do. He said that there were a bunch of things on the table that make it the right thing to do. Howard said that Joy was making fun of him for doing it and he told her to keep it up and he'd show her how much of a nebish he really is.
Lisa said they have some news about Artie finishing his book and how he finished it on time. Howard said that people are amazed when Artie completes something even though he's never failed to do anything. Artie said that he's never been late or missed a mark in the 10 studio movies he's done so far. He said that he can't say the same about the radio show because he's been doing that for 7 years.
Lisa said that Anthony Boza, who helped Artie write his book, says that they have a story in the new book that will blow people's minds. Artie said that it does involve drugs. He didn't want to give away the whole story though.
Lisa said that they have a story about Joey Boots wanting to take on High Pitch Eric in a new Crap-a-thon where they both try to make the most shit in 24 hours. Joey is up around 300 pounds according to Lisa. Howard thanked her for that and let Lisa go.
Howard said that George Takei is getting married to Brad soon and he is doing a Star Trek wedding with Walter Koenig as the best man and Nichele Nichols, Uhura, as the maid of honor. He read the story about that and said that you'd think he'd want to get away from that whole Star Trek thing.
Howard said he saw a video on TMZ.com where they had Andy Dick drunk and throwing stuff at people in an alley. He said that he was apparently wasted at a house party and that's where they got the video. He said that you have to see it because it makes you feel that you're more together than him.
Howard said that he had some audio clips from a new Inside the Porn Actor's Studio with Richard hosting the show and interviewing a woman by the name of Flowers Tushe. He played one clip where Flowers talks about female ejaculation. She said that she doesn't think that it's urine and gave her thoughts on that. Howard said that he thinks that it's disgusting. He said that it's very ''guy like'' when you squirt something.
Howard played another clip of her squirting and Robin almost vomited when she heard it. Howard said that she was drinking her own squirt juice. Howard said that was kind of gross.
Sal was on that show and he got up to smell Flowers' vagina. He was invited to do that so he got up, sniffed her and said that it was like an Irish Spring commercial. He said that it was like the ''fresh outdoors.''
Artie said that he's even more grossed out now that he's heard that. Gary said that he heard that Flowers told the producers that she had sex with a guy just an hour before that show and she hadn't cleaned up.
Gary told Howard that Sal's tag sale story was funny. He told Howard that a black guy came up to the sale and Sal told his wife to go talk to him because black guys like white chicks. Gary said that the guy asked Sal how much a book was and it said $1 on it. The guy knocked it down to a quarter but then he didn't' have any change in his pocket so Sal ended up letting him have it for free. Sal then gave him a whole box of toy cars for free as well.
Sal came in and said that the guy looked like Seal and he was scared of the guy. He said that his wife got mad at him for giving the stuff away for free. Sal said that he just wanted the guy out of there and didn't want the guy killing his family or something.
Sal was talking about how there were other black people who came and went ''respectively.'' It was just this one guy that scared him. Sal said that they made $140 on the tag sale they held. Sal said that he bought the Seinfeld tickets 3 months ago so he didn't just buy those. He said that he lost a lot of money in the stock market and they're still running a little behind with the bills and stuff. He said that he has no money in his bank account right now and he bounced a few checks before he got paid for the last comedy show he did.
Gary said that Sal spent 7 grand on a vacation to Florida but they had so little money that they had to take a bus to get around.
Sal said that they were at a hotel down there and he got a credit card to use there and it was rejected. He had to go to the ATM to get money but when he got there, the account was empty. He said his wife had moved some money from savings to the checking account and the checking account was ''negative equity.'' He was overdrawn. The guys were goofing on Sal about the way he was talking about the ''negative equity'' stuff.
Sal talked about going to take the bus down in Florida and how there were a lot of interesting minorities on the bus. He said that his friend Jerry was down there and he saw him getting off the bus. He talked about the kids that got on the bus that were very intimidating. He got yelled at a young Puerto Rican girl whose foot he tapped by accident.
Sal said that he lost money on that trip and he came home and had no money. Howard told Sal that he shouldn't be spending 7 grand on a trip to Florida if he's got ''negative equity'' in the bank.
Sal said that things are going good now with his wife. He said that he's thinking that she's building her own little nest egg though.
Sal said that Colin Quinn did a great job opening up for Jerry Seinfeld but Jerry wasn't all that great. He said that he had a lot of recycled material.
Sal said that he was going to the Wamu theater last night and he was upset that it was owned by the Indians. He said his buddy told him that Wamu was for Washington Mutual, it's not an Indian tribe that took it over.
Howard took a call from a guy who asked how much negative equity he should have. Sal said that he uses that negative equity to buy groceries and stuff. The caller was asking Sal too many questions about money and stuff so Sal told him to go ask Charles Schwab, he didn't have time for that.
Howard said that he'd blow Fred as research for the movie. He said he would really just watch some gay people to get the idea of how to play the part.
The caller asked Howard what's up with the ''Porky's'' remake. Howard said that it's being rewritten. He said that it's still a live wire but he's in no rush to get it out.
Howard said that he was talking to Michael Lynn about the Fartman movie last night. He said that he thinks that he's hung up his cape at this point and he doesn't think it'll ever get made. He said that the script was really good and he thinks it could have done well. He can't imagine anyone else playing the part though. They had to go to break a short time later.
Rosie said that they had a bonding experience at a restaurant they were at one night. Rosie said that guys like Howard used to scare the hell out of her but now she's grown to understand that there's a place for everyone. Howard said that he was never the cool guy who hung out and smoked cigarettes. He said he was the uncool kid who smoked. Rosie said that years ago Fran Drescher told her that she was stupid and she should just go on the show.
Howard told Rosie that he ran into Joy Bayhar last night and talked to her and they still seem Rosie obsessed over there. Rosie told Howard that she used to work with Joy and she looked up to her for a long time. She didn't think that Joy remembered that though.
Rosie said that Joy didn't get treated all that well over there and she thinks that maybe she got upset when she came in and demanded to be treated differently.
Howard asked Rosie about her time on The View and how hard it is to get a word in on that show. Rosie said that's true. Rosie said that she had left her show and she wanted to do that because she couldn't enjoy doing the work anymore. She was paying someone to raise her kids and the joy she had in the beginning was gone. She said that it was just time for her to go at that point. She said that she told everyone what she was going to do and the producers of the show threatened to sue her. That's exactly what happened.
Howard said that he heard that Rosie had the best personal life out of anyone. Rosie said that's funny because she can count on two hands how many people she's been with. Howard said he's heard stories about her having like 50 women in her room at the same time and each one was hotter than the next. Rosie said that she's never even naked in her own shower so she wouldn't have been naked in that room.
Rosie said that she lived with a guy when she was 28-30 and she has had sex with a man. She said that you can have great sex with either sex and it's not all about that. She told Howard that she could set him up with a blow job and he wouldn't know if it was a man or a woman if he was blind folded.
Howard asked Rosie about being molested as a child and if that swayed her to become a lesbian. Rosie said that it may play a part but she knows other people who have had the same type of thing happen and they didn't turn gay. She said that she has been with both men and women herself.
Rosie said that when she was coming out no one else had come out yet. Howard asked Rosie if she was really into Tom Cruise back when she used to talk about how hot he was. She said that she was really into him but she wouldn't want him sexually, she said that she'd rather have him cut her lawn or something. Rosie said that she met Tom one time before she had her show and he treated her very nicely.
Howard asked Rosie if she was attracted to Beth when she was on The View. Beth said that she's too perfect for her. She said that she'd be like that perfect cheerleader type that she's scared of. She said that someone like Angelina Jolie is more her type. She said that she does like Beth as a person though and she was very nice.
Howard said that Beth is going to be crushed when she hears this. He said that she asked him to ask Rosie about that but didn't want him to mention that on the air. Howard said that Beth is a huge Rosie fan and reads her blog all the time.
Howard said that he thinks that Rosie should be doing a radio show there at SIRIUS. Rosie said that she's started to listen to radio and is thinking that it might be a great job. She said that she'd take the hour after his show. Howard said he'd give her an audition if she wanted.
Howard asked Rosie if she ever confronted her molester. She said that she did and they settled things. She said that she forgave the guy and he apologized for what he did.
Howard asked Rosie about therapy and found out that she's been going to therapy since she was 16 years old. She said the worst times were during the Columbine times. She said that's when she went on some meds.
Howard told Rosie that he's not the total asshole he used to be and now he's only half an asshole. He said that he values his friendships now more than he did in the past. He said that he realized that he could benefit from good friendships.
Rosie talked about her sexual molestation and how she didn't really think about sex that much as a kid but she may have masturbated not thinking about guys doing things to her. She aid that she wasn't sexually active in school and that might be because of the molestation.
Howard asked Rosie if it's true that she won't let her workers look her in the eye on her show and stuff like that. She said that's not true and no one was ever fired from her show the whole time it ran. Howard asked her about Jay Leno getting upset with her about stealing one of his staff members. Rosie claims he didn't yell at her like Howard had heard he did. She said that there was one thing that he put a stop to one time.
Howard asked Rosie where she was at. She said that she was looking at her 5 year old daughter who was upset that she wasn't playing with her. Howard asked her how the marriage is going. Rosie said that they're doing well and they've been together for 11 years now.
Howard asked Rosie if she would ever bring another woman into the bedroom. Rosie said she wouldn't and she's never done that before. Howard asked Rosie some questions about her friend Madonna and Rosie told him a story about her being topless at a party one time. Rosie said that she hugged her that night and told her that she should really put a t-shirt on.
Howard asked Rosie if she was worth the $100 million that they claim she is. Rosie said that she has more money than she ever needed and she never has to work again. Howard asked if she's friendly with Barbara Walters. She said that they still talk and she read Barbara's book and wrote her a note about that. She said that Barbara paved the way for other women to do things in TV and she admires that.
Rosie told Howard that she had originally agreed to do The View for just one year when Barbara asked her to do it. She said she recently turned the show on and saw that they changed their nice blue set back to beige and had to turn it off. She thinks that Whoopi is a great replacement for her because she won't take any crap from anyone there.
Rosie said that she and Elisabeth haven't spoken since she left but they do e-mail and send messages to each other. Rosie said that she is probably too emotional for Elisabeth. Howard asked Rosie if she finds her attractive. Rosie said that she does find her very attractive. She said that she's got great biceps too. Howard asked her if she ever wanted to try and convert her to homosexuality. Rosie said that she almost did convert her to ''homosexuality acceptance.'' She said that she had her over to her house and she showed her how great a parent she was.
Howard told Rosie that comedian Ant actually banged some old dude on one of her gay cruises. She said that wasn't going to sell any tickets. Rosie said that Ant was on the cruise and she also had this Daniel Noriega from American Idol on the cruise and Ant said that he wanted to get Daniel. Daniel was only 17 at the time. She seemed to be kind of creeped out by that.
Howard told Rosie about the Ant story and how he ended up in a room with a 70-something year old couple. Ant got a blow job from one of the guys who removed his teeth before doing his thing.
Howard talked about his radio carer and how he hopes that he knows when he should get the hell out of there. He said that he doesn't want to be like Imus at 70 and doing radio.
Howard asked Rosie about her thoughts on 9/11 because she thinks that there is some kind of conspiracy going on there. She told Howard that she doesn't' believe that the buildings fell without help from explosives. Fred and Howard talked about the conspiracy thing and how that seems to help people sleep at night when they think that something other than what actually happened, happened. Rosie told Howard that there is a guy by the name of Willie Rodriguez who worked in Building 2 and saw a lot of odd things there that day. Howard said he might have to get him on the show then.
Howard asked Rosie about the women on The View and which ones she could do it with. Rosie said that Elisabeth would be right up at the top. Howard gave Rosie an F, Marry Kill of Joy Bayhar, Barbara Walters. Rosie said that she couldn't do that with the women they gave her. Rosie went on to say that she would like to be with someone like Angela Basset. Howard asked her what was up with that and found out that Rosie had made out with a black woman one time. Rosie said that she doesn't have any moves of her own and the other woman has to be the one to do that.
Howard asked Rosie if she would want Lindsay Lohan. Rosie said no to that and said that she feels like she's a neighbor's kid or something. She said the same thing about the Olsen Twins. Howard asked her some other names and if she would like to be with Robin Quivers. Rosie said that she is lovely. Elle McPherson is too perfect for her. Howard said he gets the Angelina Jolie thing. He asked her about Elizabeth Hurley and Jodie Foster. Rosie said no to them but yes to Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz. She also said yes to Diane Lane.
Howard asked Rosie if she watches porn. She said that she does but she thinks that she feels the same way about them as people like Lindsay Lohan.
Howard mentioned some more celebrity names like Sarah Jessica Parker and Rosie seemed to like that one. Rosie also said that she likes Barbra Streissand. She said that she could ask her for anything in the world and she'd give it to her. She said that they have spoken on the phone and she matches up to the dreams she had about her as a kid. She said that she likes her as a mother-like person at this point but she was attracted to her when she was younger.
Howard asked Rosie if she's ever pleasured herself while thinking of a celebrity. She said that she has and it was Matthew McConaughey. Howard told her that she might not be gay after hearing that. He asked her if she would shave herself completely if she was asked to do that. She said she would never do that. She said that she will trim down there but not shave it all down.
Howard gave Rosie a plug for this True Colors tour that she's going on with Cyndi Lauper and the B52s. Howard asked her how it is opening up for a musical act. She said it's not that bad and she does fine when she does those shows.
Howard asked Rosie if she thinks that she became a better performer when she came out. She said that she does believe that she did.
Howard said that he loved when Rosie got married and the way she did it. Rosie said that she remembers why she did it and explained how it was in the middle of this war in Iraq when Bush called a press conference to talk about how what was going on in San Francisco was ruining the country. That's when Rosie told Kelly that they had to go and get married.
Rosie told Howard that she's going to be on the Radio City show tonight. She said that she sat down and wrote a bunch of new material for the show and it's all new stuff. She said it's all real stuff. Rosie said that the show lasts about 5 hours so Howard and Robin said that's quite a commitment to make for one show.
Howard asked Rosie about her kids and why she didn't pick a black baby. She said that you don't always have a choice in that.
Howard told Rosie that he wants to give her an hour long show on Howard 101 and see how it goes. She said that she's in and told him to let her know when he wants her. Howard told her that they'd even set her up with an ISDN line so she doesn't have to come in.
Howard read a few e-mails from some fans who thought she was a great guest. Rosie quickly mentioned that everyone should go see this play that she saw recently. She offered to take Howard's kids herself. Howard asked her if she could lie to Beth about what she said about being attracted to her. Rosie said that he could and he should tell her that she was going to think about her and do herself right now. Howard let her go a short time later.
After the break we heard a prank call that High Pitch Eric made to a pharmacy about some ''twat cream.'' Howard came back a short time later and had fighter Tito Ortiz some in. Tito came in dressed in a suit so Howard asked him to model it for them since it was one of his company's suits.
Tito is leaving the UFC and moving on to another company. Howard said that Tito is complaining that they don't get paid what they deserve from the UFC so he's moving on. The boxers only get about 3 percent of the money that comes in. Tito said that he thinks that they should be getting 10, 20 or even 30 percent. He said that he made about $210,000 the last time he fought.
Howard asked what kind of numbers the Pay-Per-View events get. Tito said it's about a million at $50 bucks per subscription. Howard said that's like 50 million and he's looking for some of that money.
Tito won't even mention the name of the guy who runs the UFC because he's moving on to a better place. He told Howard that he'd do the same thing if he were him. He said that if you're not with the company, you're against the company. Tito said that he's with his own company now and he's going to go out and find the toughest guy he can to fight him.
Howard asked Tito if he's ever lost to anyone. Tito said that he just lost 2 weeks ago to a guy who was running away from him for 3 rounds. He said that he asked the guy to stop pussing out and just fight but he kept running away.
Howard asked Tito what to do in a street fight. Tito told him to talk his way out of it, that's what he does. He said that he doesn't need someone pulling a gun on him because he doesn't' know those Matrix moves.
Howard heard that Tito wasn't allowed into the press conference at the UFC the last time he fought. Tito said that a woman tried to stop him from getting in there so he told her to call security because he was going in. He said that he wasn't going to let them stop him from doing that.
Howard said that Tito is with Jenna Jameson right now but they have no plans to get married. Tito said that they are going to have kids eventually and they are working on that. He said that he's been having sex without protection. Howard told Tito that he doesn't want any kids himself so he wears a condom all the time. Howard said that he'd imagine that Tito would be able to impregnate her pretty quick if he was trying.
Howard read that Tito and Jenna were investigating Scientology and wondered what they have found out. Tito said that they have looked into a lot of religions but the whole Scientology thing might be too intense.
Howard asked Tito why he waited a month to bang Jenna. Tito said that it was all about respect. Howard also asked him about cheating on his first wife which he wrote about in his book ''This Is Gonna Hurt: The Life of a Mixed Martial Arts Champion.''
Howard asked Tito about his family life, which he also wrote about, and how his mother was addicted to heroin. Tito said that both of them were addicted to heroin and they both basically abandoned him. He said that he never brought his friends back to the house because he didn't want them to see the trailer they were living in or the stuff they left behind while they were doing heroin.
Tito said that he spoke to his father about 5 months ago after telling him that he never wanted to see him again. Tito said that his father basically quit on his family and that's what he sat down and talked to him about.
Tito talked about how great his ex-wife is and how she and Jenna get along. Howard asked him if he would ever want to get the two of them into bed together. Tito said that he would never want that and Jenna wouldn't either. Howard said that he knows Jenna and he thinks that she loves women. Tito said that she's over all of that and she wants to start a family now.
Tito said that he and Jenna have a lot of fun together and they don't need anyone else in the bedroom to do it. Howard was thinking that she was becoming a prude to get over the porn star stigma but Tito said that she's not a prude at home.
Howard asked Tito about dealing drugs as a kid and if his parents kind of got him into that. Tito said that he did that to pay rent. He said that he didn't understand anything at all back then. He said that he managed to get into wrestling and got a scholarship to college and he wanted to teach for a while but then he got into the UFC.
Howard asked Tito if his teeth were real because they looked perfect. Tito said they were real and he's managed to keep them because he's been so dominant in the fights. He said that he's 33 now but he wants to get out by the time he's 36. He said he wants to do promotions and find the next Tito Ortiz when he's done fighting himself.
Howard asked which martial arts is the best to learn. Tito said that kids should learn to wrestle because it can teach kids a lot. Howard asked if he ever had a penis slip out when he was wrestling. Tito said that has never happened. He said that he's glad it never did.
Howard gave Tito some plugs for some appearances he was making in the area and for his book. You can find out more at TitoOrtiz.com. Howard asked Tito when he last banged Jenna. Tito told him he'd have to use his imagination there.
High Pitch Eric called in to challenge Tito to a fight. Howard hung up on him half way through his challenge. Gay Ramone called in next and asked if he had ever had his asshole eaten out. Tito said that he hasn't had that done but he has had men come on to him. He said he has no problem with that and has some gay friends. Artie said he fantasizes about Tito beating the shit out of Gay Ramone.
A caller asked Tito why he can't just admit that the other fighter who beat him 2 weeks ago was just a better fighter. Tito said he never said he wasn't. Another guy said that he agrees with Tito and said that he did think that the other guy was running away from Tito. Howard wrapped up and went to break a short time later.
Steve said that Teddy has a problem with Mutt from SternFanNetwork who has asked how the fuck Teddy is a road manager. Teddy has said that he might just forget to put Mutt's name on the list of people for Artie's show. Artie said that he'll make sure Mutt gets in though.
Steve said that they have a story about Ronnie the Limo Driver having a special Howard TV show done about him. Sal and Richard would be hosting. Steve said they have a story about the new Gong Show and how many of the guys on that show have a Stern Show connection. Artie said that he's been asked to be a judge and he may do it. He said that Norm MacDonald is going to be one of the writers. Steve said that they also have more on the former teacher who lost her job after appearing on the show.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that the Rosie O'Donnell interview was great and she turned out to be a good guest. The guy said he thought she was going to be an uptight cunt but she was far from it. Another caller said that Rosie was great and also mentioned that she just read Robin's book and wanted to know if she's still in touch with the Foster kids that she had to give up. Howard had to figure out what she was talking about because she wasn't able to explain herself very well. She was very nervous.
Howard said that Robin's story is very interesting and she grew up with a foster kid for 3 years. Then one day the kid just disappeared. Robin was 14 at the time and that 3 years felt like a really long time. That led to Artie doing his Ham Hands Bill impression. He was doing the impression as if he were Robin's dad and telling Robin why they had to give away the kid.
Robin said that they had a couple of foster kid girls at the house too and she was happy when they left knowing what her father was up to. She said that she thinks that he went for older girls and not the babies.
Artie said that he has a friend whose child was molested at a very young age and it's really bad stuff. Howard said that no one wanted him sexually even as a kid.
Jon Hein came in with his Wrap Up Show preview and ran down the many subjects that they'll be trying to cover today.
During Jon's show preview they talked about Artie's USO tour. That led to Artie talking about how they're going to have someone come up to give him his shots there. Robin told Artie that he has to tell the other guys on the tour that they have to get their shots too. Gary said that he's told the woman there at the USO that he's going to take over as the Den mother and make sure everyone knows what's going on.
Jon also mentioned the negative equity thing that Sal was talking about earlier and that led to the guys goofing on Sal for a short time.
Robin said that she can control the way she feels and she can turn off her sadness. Artie and Howard seemed to find that very hard to believe. Benjy told Howard to just try looking up at the sky and smile and the sadness should go away. Howard told him to get out of the studio.
Howard had Fred play that song that makes him so sad. While that was playing Artie said that there are times of the day when he just feels sad and there's no way to get out of it. Howard listened to the song and said that if he was making a video for that song today, he'd just have video of Scott the Engineer walking around. He said that Scott is always a sad sack and it would fit the song perfectly.
Fred said that the guy who wrote that song had quit the business because he wasn't doing well and then he sent this one song in and the record company picked it up. They never had another hit after that one though. Howard spent a couple more minutes on that and then had Robin get into her news.
Robin read stories about Tatum O'Neil, Bo Diddley's death and Harvey Korman's death. Artie said he saw Harvey Korman out at dinner one night out in L.A. years ago and when he went up and told him he was a fan, Harvey looked at him and said ''No shit!'' and walked away.
Robin read a story about Ted Kennedy's brain operation and how it was a successful procedure. That led to Howard and Artie doing their Kennedy impressions a little bit.
Robin said that the prices of cigarettes are going up in New York state. They have an 83 percent hike in the price. That will bring the average up to about $10.25 for a pack. Robin said she hopes it stops some people from smoking so they don't stand outside the building when she comes in every day.
Robin read a story about Kurt Cobain's ashes being stolen from Courtney Love's home. She also had a story about how children fathered by older guys can have a higher death rate than those who were fathered by younger men. That was good news for Howard because he can use that as an excuse not to have a kid with Beth if she ever asks to have one.
Robin read a story about Felicia Lane and how she had someone going into her personal e-mail and reading private stuff she had. Felicia is Booker's girlfriend so Howard talked about how Booker was let go from the station he was on down in Philly. Howard said that Clear Channel is still paying Booker even though he's not on the air now.
Robin read a story about the people on the Simpsons signing on to do another 4 years. They're going to make about $400,000 an episode.
Robin had some more news about Ted Kennedy so she read through that and played some clips. She had some news about John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Senator Robert Bird and more.
Howard said that he was supposed to have Bubba on today but they had to shuffle things around and Bubba will be on tomorrow.
Robin read a story about R. Kelly allegedly having sex with underage girls. Robin had some stories about the new Adam Sandler movie. She had some clips of George Lucas talking about the origins of ''Indiana Jones.'' They ended the show around 10:40am.
Gary said that Howard and Rosie spoke at dinner that night and then they sent her a radio to check out the show. She listened to it a bit and found that the show wasn't so bad.
Gary said that Rosie said something about Howard being that cool kid smoking cigarettes and bullying people in high school but everyone there knows he's not that guy. Jon said that he gets why people would think that about him but they all know that he's really not like that.
Jon said that Rosie walked away from her huge show and then from The View and she's still having huge success in her career. Gary said that there are a lot of people who do that and don't go on to have a good career. There are many of those.
Jon took a call from a guy who said that it seems like Howard has softened up a bit since he moved to satellite and he seems to regret that reputation he crated for himself in the years past. Gary said that he doesn't think that Howard regrets what he's done but he has softened up. He said that Beth has probably helped out in that respect.
Another caller said he's been listening forever and he thinks that the Rosie interview was great. He said that he would like to know why Howard quits so early though. Gary said that they talked about that for about 10 minutes early this morning. Gary didn't want to go over it again so he told the guy to listen to the replay.
Gary said that they're actually scheduled to go from 6-10 in the morning so Howard is always doing shows longer than he's supposed to. The guy said that they are taking off Fridays so they should give them 5 hours for those four days they're on.
Gary said that they rarely went past 11 back on terrestrial radio and they had a lot more commercials back then. Jon said that the contract is for Howard to do from 6-10 so anything past that is extra.
Another caller said that it almost seems like the Rosie thing was a sell out and Howard used to think that Rosie was a mean person and now he's just brushing that aside. Gary said that Howard didn't just come around yesterday so he doesn't think that he's a sell out. He said that Howard has come around over the past few years.
The caller said that it was kind of weird as a fan to hear Rosie on the show. Gary said that people become older and they evolve. He said that a lot of people don't like Howard changing but that happens to everyone.
Benjy said that Howard's admiration for Rosie has gone back about 4 years or so and it has been quite a while since he started to change.
The caller said that he tried to get on the air with Rosie by calling in as Mayor Rendell from Philadelphia. Gary explained that reference and how it was a Captain Janks prank call to Rosie that he did years ago.
Jon took another call from a guy who said he thinks that Howard pussied out on the Rosie interview by not bringing up Donald Trump during that call. Gary said that may have been a time thing because Howard thought he only had 15 minutes with her. Gary said that he thinks that Howard brought up all of the other feuds and just missed that one. Gary said he thought that Howard asked her some hard questions and she wen
