-- Friday January 23, 1998 --
• The Mike Walker Game With Guest Cindy Margolis. 1/23/98. 7:00am
  Cindy Margolis, the most downloaded woman on the internet, came in to play the Mike Walker game today. Cindy somehow has become the most downloaded woman according to America Online and Yahoo. Howard was wondering how she became so popular. Cindy didn't even seem to know why. How can she be more popular than Pamela Lee? Ahh who cares? On with the game. Mike Walker from The National Enquirer called in with 4 gossip stories. One of them is false, try to pick it:
  1. Fran Drescher recorded some demo songs but no record company would pick them up.
  2. When Leonardo Decaprio lost a phone number for some girl he went back to the store to find out what it was. He ended up with a ton of other phone numbers.
  3. Teri Hatcher doesn't like trying on clothes in a dressing room so she gets dressed behind the racks of clothing. She thinks that no one looks while she's doing it.
  4. Ellen Degeneres and girlfriend Anne Hache get massaged together while holding hands lying on two different massage tables.
  Cindy picked number one as the fake. Robin and Howard both picked number 4. They were correct. They knew that number 4 was fake because Howard had told Mike a similar story about Barbara Streisand and James Brolin. They had an unfair advantage in the game. Cindy hung around for a little longer and even got into a bikini top for Howard. She said that she had one in her luggage but the luggage never came through when she flew in. Howard has a bunch of bikini's hanging around so she got into one. She claims that her D-Cup breasts are real. An old boyfriend called in and confirmed it. Howard got a hug from her before she left.

• Guess Who's In The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. 1/23/98. 7:45am
  Gary had a quick game to play with Howard and Robin. Gary would name 3 rock bands or people and Howard and Robin would guess which one wasn't in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. It's lame but here goes:

  Ruth Brown James Brown Jackson Browne Howard picked Jackson Browne -Correct	The Doors Jethro Tull Jefferson Airplane Robin picked Jethro Tull - Correct
  Jaymie Mitchell Marvin Gaye Steve Miller Howard picked Steve Miller - Correct	Steely Dan The Temptations Velvet Underground Robin picked Steely Dan - Correct
  Dion Bo Diddley Paul Anka Howard picked Paul Anka - Correct	The Yardbirds Pink Floyd Bruce Springstein Howard picked Bruce Springstein - Correct

  So there you have it. Robin and Howard were both pretty good at a pointless game..

• Playboy Playmate Julia Schultz Comes In. 1/23/98. 8:20am
  Julia is Playboy Magazine's February Playmate Of The Month. She's 18 years old and naked.. just the way Howard likes it. If you head over to Playboy's web site you can see what she looks like. She sure doesn't look 18, that's for sure. So Howard played with her for a little while this morning. Howard also had Heather the Intern come in to meet Julia because Heather also wants to be in Playboy. Howard thought that Julia could give Heather some pointers. It turns out that Heather has already started the process of getting into the magazine. She's contacted someone about submitting some test photos and she's had some taken. The test photos aren't nudes though. Julia said her test shots were totally naked. Playboy didn't waste any time in telling her she was in either. One day was all it took. Julia is fresh out of High School so Howard asked her if she planned on going to College.. why bother? Her good looks will get her far. She said she wants to be either a model or actress or a combo of both. Howard wanted to find out how smart she was so he asked her a bunch of general knowledge questions. Poor Julia... She didn't know how many feet were in a yard. Here are a few of the other questions she didn't know:
  • How many sides on a pentagon? - 7
  • What is the square root of 81? - 40
  • Who won the Civil War? - We did
  She wasn't totally out of it though. She did know some answers:
  • Name of Pilgrim's boat? - Mayflower
  • Rhode Island a state or country? - State
  After the questioning he asked her about things like anal sex and lesbianism. She doesn't do either. She doesn't wax hair off of herself, she shaves. It turns out that she was on her period during the Playboy photo shoot.. Howard asked her about that. Her boyfriend lives with her in her parents house! Lucky man! Howard also found out that Julia had a identical twin sister that died at 6 days old. ''Can you imagine two of you?..'' Howard said to Julia. Julia also claims that her breasts are real, not implants.

• Bret Michaels Calls In. 1/23/98. 8:55am
  On Wednesday a woman from IEG came in to give Howard a little preview of another Pamela Lee sex tape that she and ex-boyfriend Bret Michaels made. Bret is the lead singer for Poison. He called in to give his side of the story. I still don't know what his side is because he went on and on without saying much of anything. A few things I got out of the discussion were that he has filed a lawsuit against IEG and he doesn't want the tape to be released. He wouldn't say exactly how he thought the tape was released to IEG. He said that it definitely wasn't him. The tape was made on Halloween 1994. Bret and Pam dated from March 1994 to December 1994 and he basically said that they broke up because he hadn't gotten over his previous girlfriend Christy. The two of them are now living together. At one point during the interview Bret told Howard that he was a little bit ''long winded''. That was putting it mildly. The dude just talks up a storm. He seems like a nice enough guy but he's a bore on the phone. Howard told Bret to keep in touch and let him know what's happening with the lawsuit. Bret must be a fan of the show because he was saying hello to everyone. He even said that he partied with Steve Grillo.

• Super Bowl Betting. 1/23/98. 9:40am
  Howard and the gang all went nuts betting on the Super Bowl. The betting was so crazy that there was no way for me to keep up with it. They bet on everything from the coin toss to who on the show would win the most money this weekend. Most of the bets were $50. Howard was well over $500 in bets, probably closer to $700. Gary was writing everything down but Howard told him to have Cathy Tobin listen to the tape and make sure he wrote them down correctly. The people betting were Robin, Howard, Ralph, Fred, Tom Chiusano, Steve Grillo, Gary and Stuttering John. It was crazy. Tune in Monday to find out who won the most.

• Howard's Scores Party Held Yesterday. 1/22/98. 6:10am
  Howard had a Scores party yesterday. Scores is a strip club in New York City. He didn't get into too much detail about it this morning. It may have been some kind of Super Bowl party for him. The reason it came up was because Robin somehow found out when Howard left the party. That was between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. Howard got pissed that someone was telling Robin about the party so he banned just about everyone from the next party. Robin finally gave up her source and Howard decided not to ban anyone from the next party.

• The Breast Implant Beauty Pageant. 1/22/98. 7:55am
  Today's beauty pageant was for the chance to win free breast implants. For the past couple of weeks Howard had been taking calls from women who had sad stories to tell about their tiny breasts. Today there were 7 finalists who showed up for the competition. There were originally 18 women on a list but Howard and Robin knocked it down to 8. Only 7 of them showed up. There were 4 judges. Neil Drake, Ralph Cirella, King Of All Blacks and Big Black. Luckily there was no Al Rosenberg today... So Howard talked to the 4 judges for a few minutes and then started the competition. First there was the breast competition. The scale would be from 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst. The second part would be personality. Howard asked the women a couple of questions and they answered them the best they could. Here's how the scoring went:

  Sharon	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Total
  Breast 10=Worst	4	7	7	5	23
  Personality	3	2	2	4	11
  				Score	34

  Tracy	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Total
  Breast 10=Worst	5	3	2	3	13
  Personality	6	6	4	7	23
  				Score	36

  Michelle	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Total
  Breast 10=Worst	3	2	10	2	17
  Personality	8	2	6	2	18
  				Score	35

  Leisa	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Total
  Breast 10=Worst	1	2	8	2	13
  Personality	7	7	8	4	26
  				Score	39

  Debbie	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Total
  Breast 10=Worst	10	10	10	7	37
  Personality	10	8	10	10	38
  				Score	75

  Angela	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Total
  Breast 10=Worst	9	8	10	5	32
  Personality	5	4	10	4	23
  				Score	55

  Hope	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Total
  Breast 10=Worst	10	10	10	10	40
  Personality	8	9	8	7	32
  				Score	72

  After the judging was done for that part they picked the 3 highest scores and those women would do one more competition, talent, to determine the winner. Each woman sang a song.. or at least attempted to sing. Debbie sang ''Hooters, Hooters'' to the tune of ''Louie, Louie''. Angela tried to sing something but it was so awful that Howard didn't let her sing more than 5 seconds. Hope sang a song but I have no idea what it was. It was about her being a stripper and getting implants. This competition would determine the winner. The previous scores had no effect on the outcome. Here's how they scored:

  Finals	Neil	Ralph	KOAB	Big Black	Final
  Debbie	7	7	9	7	30
  Angela	8	8	10	6	32
  Hope	10	10	9	9	38

  As you can see, Hope was the winner. She had a very masculine voice but Howard said she was cute. Hope will be flying down to Regional Coastal Surgical Associates in Florida where Dr. R. Scott Smith will pump up her breasts with some nice implants. The second place woman won some kind of ''day of beauty'' from a club in New York. The last woman won a $300 gift certificate to a ski shop.

• Robin Gives Birthday/Christmas Gift To Howard. 1/21/98. 6:20am
  Robin gave Howard a combination birthday/Christmas gift this morning. It was some kind of stone dragon or something like that. Howard seemed to really like the gift. Robin is still insisting that she's not throwing him a surprise birthday show but his station is still giving away tickets just in case there is one... I'm still trying to win...

• Cory Feldman Calls In. 1/21/98. 6:40am
  Cory Feldman called in for the second time in the past two weeks. I think he wanted to thank Howard or E! for the show they ran about him. It was basically his life story and it got pretty good ratings. It ran for the second time and did very well so he called in again. Howard was wondering why Cory was calling in again since he just called in last week. Howard ended up goofing on Cory by turning down his microphone and saying stuff so Cory couldn't hear it. First he told Cory that it was his idea to run that special on E! but then he turned off the mic and told everyone except Cory that he didn't have anything to do with the special. This went on for a couple of minutes behind Cory's back. A few minutes after Cory got off the phone with Howard he called back freaking out because of what Howard had done. Someone told him that Howard was goofing and he freaked. Howard told him that he wasn't goofing and went ahead and did it a little more. By the time it was over he'd managed to calm Cory down. I don't think he'll be calling back anytime soon.

• The DJ Quiz. 1/21/98. 7:00am
  Howard did this little quiz thing with a couple of DJ's from his station in New York City. Gary had multiple choice questions about broadcasting and they played to see who could get the most right. Playing along with Howard were Julie Slater and Booker. Julie is the mid-day DJ on WXRK. Booker is the 10pm to 2am DJ. The questions were kind of stupid and I don't know why Howard did this but who am I to say anything. Julie said that she never even went to broadcasting school so she wouldn't know much anyway. After they did the quiz thing Howard wanted Julie and Booker to talk up a record to see who could do it best. Julie tried to talk up ''Smoke On The Water'' but had absolutely nothing to say. She's usually not that bad. Booker had a little more to say but it still wasn't that great. Howard, on the other hand, did his thing and did it pretty good.

• Dawn Radenbaugh Comes In. 1/21/98. 7:45am
  Dawn who? That's what you're probably thinking.. I know I was. Dawn is a new character on one of Howard's favorite TV shows ''Melrose Place''. She plays a stripper and she's really cute according to Howard. Her being cute was the reason Howard had her on the show. Nobody knows who she is yet but Howard thought that she was so adorable that he had her in. She's 23 years old and already engaged to some older guy. Howard told her that it's a mistake to get married so young. Dawn was hired without an audition. The producers of the show saw her in some movie and contacted her. Now she's on the show. Howard talked to her about the usual sex stuff but she wasn't into talking much about it. I think her parents were listening so she was keeping it quiet. Howard asked her how old her parents were for some reason. Her mother is 43 and her father is 48. Howard is old enough to be her father! He chuckled when he realized that fact. Howard kept telling Dawn how perfect she was. ''Even your hands are perfect..'' he told her. She was a model when she was 17. Howard heard that she was in some lesbian movie. She said that she was in the movie but she played a straight person. The movie is called ''Traveling Companion''. Before she left Howard asked for a hug from her. She said it was okay and went over to hug him. He also managed to get a kiss from her also.

• Howard's Screening Of New Pamela Lee Sex Tape. 1/21/98. 8:45am
  A woman from Internet Entertainment Group (IEG) brought in the latest video of Pamela Lee having sex. This time it's with Bret Michaels from Poison. Heather from IEG gave Howard a sneak peak at the upcoming video tape. Next Monday on www.clublove.com they will be premiering the tape on the web. Shortly after that they'll release the video tape for sale. Howard only got to see a small portion of the tape but said that Bret Michaels' pecker is almost as big as Tommy Lee's. From the tape that Howard saw it seems that Pamela really enjoys giving oral sex. Heather told Howard about some of the stuff that's on the tape. First of all there is hardly any talking on the 45 minute tape. There's only like 2 lines of conversation on the whole tape. Pamela and Bret both do a bunch of costume changes during it and Pam does a striptease in a cowgirl outfit. Heather also said that the tape is very hardcore and it's not for the squeamish. At the end of the tape there is some ''self love'' for Pamela. Heather also went over some of the legal issues concerning the tape and the last tape. It all sounds pretty screwy to me. Heather isn't allowed to give details of their settlement with Tommy and Pam and she wouldn't say much about the Bret Michaels legal stuff either. The digitally mastered tape makes it's premiere at 12 noon Pacific time next Monday.

• Henry Hill Checks In. 1/20/98. 7:00am
  Ex-mobster turned stool pigeon, Henry Hill, was just released from jail so he called in to talk with Howard. Last time Henry came on the show live he forgot to tell his parole officer that he was leaving the state he lives in. That violated his parole so he was arrested in New Jersey at his hotel. Ever since then he was in jail. He was just released so he can call Howard whenever he wants to. Today he was just calling to let Howard know what was going on. Henry has cleaned himself up, he's not doing drugs and it didn't sound like he was drinking. He said that his girlfriend is in jail right now for skipping out on some drug and alcohol program she was in. Other than that there wasn't much else going on. Hopefully he'll start calling in drunk since he's much more entertaining that way.

• Jeff Figer, Dr. Kervorkian's Lawyer, Calls In. 1/20/98. 7:30am
  Howard spent a few minutes talking to Dr. Kervorkian's lawyer. Howard thinks that what Dr. Kervorkian is doing is a good thing. If someone wants to die, because of health reasons, they should be allowed to. Howard told Mr. Figer that he'd like to run a contest where people who want to die would have some kind of pageant and whoever won would get to die at the hands of Dr. Kervorkian. Figer didn't think that it was a good idea. It might be entertaining for the radio but it's probably not the kind of publicity that Dr. Kervorkian wants. For those of you who don't know who Kervorkian is, he's a Dr. who assists people who want to commit suicide because of health problems. His most recent assisted suicide was a transsexual who had AIDS.

• Benjy The Intern's Close Encounter With Howard. 1/20/98. 8:05am
  One of Howard's newest interns had an interesting story to tell on the air this morning. Benji, who's a big fan of Howard's, was sitting in the office one day before he'd met Howard in person. He said that he'd prepared himself for meeting Howard and thought that he wouldn't be nervous. Howard came into the office and Benjy said he just smiled nervously. He said that Howard looked at him with ''loving eyes'' or something like that. At one point Howard walked past Benjy and as he walked past him he touched his shoulder and squeezed it softly. Benjy said he felt a jolt of electricity go through him. He claims that before Howard touched him he couldn't move his shoulder for some reason. Now he says that he's cured. He also claimed that he saw the Virgin Mary after Howard touched him. He said she was pretty hot looking. When I heard all of this I immediately called the show. I told Howard to call security and get him removed. The guy sounded a little wacky. Even Howard said that he was going to lock the studio door after Benjy left. Maybe Benjy just wanted to get some air time. If Benjy has any more strange stories to tell I'll be sure to report them right here.

• Howard Plays Tape From ''E! Behind The Scenes'' Show. 1/20/98. 8:20am
  This past weekend there was a special on E! Entertainment that featured behind the scenes footage from a bunch of the E! programs. One of them was, of course, Howard's show. Howard played tape of it because it was pretty funny. They had video of the E! crew like Mike Gange, Doug Goodstein, Scott DePace, Scott Einziger and Robin Radzinski talking about what they do. The funny thing was that when they explained their jobs they didn't really make any sense. They also had footage of people like Gary and Steve Grillo. There was one scene where Scott Einziger explains that he goes in to tell Howard how they're going to shoot a certain segment. He goes in to tell Howard what was going to happen and Howard sort of laughs it off at the end. It turns out that the whole scene was set up for the special. Howard said that they never do stuff like that.

• Rosie O'Donnell's Garbage Exposed. 1/20/98. 8:55am
  This guy ''Joe'' called in the other day and said that he'd gone through Rosie O'Donnell's garbage and found some of her used tampons. Today he came down to the studio with the garbage. When he came in he was wearing a ski mask because he didn't want to be identified. The reason he decided to go through her garbage was because Howard once mentioned that he'd like to know what was going on inside her underpants. Well he tried to find her underpants but wasn't quite successful. He did find some other very interesting stuff. He found faxes of scripts for her show. Surprisingly her show is totally scripted. Right down to the questions and answers she asks her guests. Howard found that fact very fascinating. Gary was reading bits and pieces of the scripts out loud. He read one that was between Rosie and Tracy Ullman. Each question and answer was in the script. What a phony Rosie is. ''Joe'' also found an empty mens underwear package. Gary and Howard said that they've heard that Rosie wears mens underwear so it wasn't unusual to find the package. They were XXL size which equals about a 44-46 inch waist! YIKES! That's one large woman! Joe also had the used tampons with him. Howard said that was ''crossing the line..'' but then quickly added ''..okay, let's see..'' Joe showed Howard the disgusting things and Howard almost puked. One other thing that ''Joe'' found in the trash was a picture of Rosie without makeup on. Stuttering John said that she looked like Buddy Hackett. Howard agreed with that. Howard thinks this is all wrong so he doesn't recommend going through people's garbage.

• Record Company Sends Stripper For Howard. 1/20/98. 9:30am
  The other day Howard heard a song during the show. He said it sounded pretty cool. Today the record company sent down a stripper for Howard. She was supposed to come in with a birthday cake, sit on the cake and let Howard eat the cake off her ass. Howard didn't want to eat off her ass because he's so germ-phobic so he let Ronnie the limo driver do it instead. The stripper squatted right down in the cake and waddled over to Ronnie so he could take a fork full of it. She ended up doing it a couple of times for him. It sounded like Ronnie was enjoying it. He told Howard that he should try it. ''You only live once'' Ronnie said. Howard didn't do it. The stripper was totally naked when she did this. She dances at a juice bar where they don't serve any alcohol. The strippers are allowed to get totally nude at those places, unlike most go-go bars where they're only allowed to be topless.

• The Breast Implant Give Away Contestants Are Picked. 1/20/98. 9:35am
  On Thursday there will be a worst breast pageant. The winner will get free breast implants from a doctor down in Florida. Howard has been taking calls from women who want to compete since last week sometime. Today he and Robin slimmed down the list from 18 to 9 contestants. They tried to choose the saddest stories that they heard. After slimming down the list a woman called in who wanted to enter her 20 year old daughter in the contest. Howard told her that it was a little to late to enter. The woman just about begged Howard to let the girl in but Howard wouldn't let it happen. The woman kept trying to convince Howard that her daughter deserved to be in the contest. She made it sound like all of the other contestants weren't human and that only her daughter should be the winner. She said that her daughter was a huge fan of Howard's and that she would have called in earlier except that she was away on a college break. All of the other women entered on time so there are no exceptions. Stay tuned for the pageant on Thursday!

• Robin Goes To A Yanni Concert! 1/19/98. 6:25am
  Where's the last place you'd expect to find Robin? A Yanni concert, that's where. Robin went to the new age music concert with her ex-boyfriend Mr. X this past weekend. She said that the concert was pretty good but that she didn't and wouldn't pay the $70 per ticket cost herself. Her friend Mr. X was the one who wanted to see the concert in the first place so he paid for the tickets although it was Robin who was able to get the tickets. She explained some of what Yanni does in the show and how long it was. It was so long that there was an intermission! She said that it lasted about 3 hours total.

• Caller Of The Week. 1/19/98. 7:25am
  Howard hasn't done this in quite a long time. He plays a few calls and they pick one of them as ''Caller Of The Week''. Since he hasn't done it in such a long time the calls were a little old. Here are the calls they voted on:
  • Alice the black woman who hates black people yells about stuff
  • Mira Segal talks about Steven Segal and Scientology
  • Woman with a lesbian story turns out to be a guy pretending to be a woman
  The winner was Alice the black woman who hates black people. She wasn't on the phone to accept so that was the end of that. Howard said that Alice is supposed to be moving to New York soon so he'll have her on more often.

• Where's Howard's Birthday Show? 1/19/98. 7:30am
  Last Monday was Howard's birthday. Normally Robin would have thrown him a surprise birthday show with tons of celebrity guests. Not this time. Howard still thinks that he's getting one and his proof was a promo that WXRK, where his show originates, has been running. It's the chance to get on the guest list IF Robin has the party. They ran it all weekend long so it looks like there will be a show but Robin is still denying it. Howard seems to think that the show won't happen until next Monday and thinks that it's because of Gary's wife having a baby back in December that threw the schedule off. WXRK was still running the promo today so I'm trying to win... I never win anything though.

• Howard's Complaint About E! Show. 1/19/98. 7:40am
  Last Friday there was an animated piece that showed up on the Pamela Lee E! show. It was animated to Howard's own home sex tape. In one of the animated scenes where he shows his wife his private parts E! cubed his genital area. That wouldn't be so bad except that there was nothing there in the animation. There was no penis! That was supposed to be the joke but the E! censors said that it was ''full frontal nudity'' so they had to cube it. Howard caught wind of this before it aired and he tried to get it changed but it couldn't be done. Howard told Fran Shea, head of E!, that when they rerun the show that he wants the cubes removed. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

• Howard Denies Rumors About Saturday Night TV Show. 1/19/98. 8:55am
  This past Saturday there was an article in the New York Post which claimed that Howard was going to be announcing a new Saturday night TV show to go up against Saturday Night Live. In the article it said that Howard would be teaming up with David Letterman's production company and Norm MacDonald to do this show. Today Howard said that it was totally untrue. He said that he has talked with CBS about doing a show but not with David Letterman's company or Norm MacDonald. The article quoted this guy Luigi Lucaire, who wrote the ''Howard Stern A to Z'' book, for some reason. Howard didn't know who this Luigi guy was but he liked what he was saying in the article. Gary told him that the book is like a dictionary for the show. This led to Howard playing a trivia game with a listener who had the book at home. The caller said that the book was pretty stupid but Howard played a little bit of trivia anyway. Howard doesn't seem to know his own show very well. He didn't know many answers to the questions the guy was asking.

• King Of All Blacks To Judge Breast Implant Pageant. 1/19/98. 10:35am
  Howard took a phone call from a black guy who said he wanted to know why Robin was at work today since it was Martin Luther King Jr. day. Well it turned out to be King Of All Blacks who hasn't been on the show in a while. Robin said that she wasn't going to talk to him because he showed up at her apartment one day. She's pissed at him so she didn't want to talk to him. It turns out that he somehow found out where she lives. One day he was driving around with a woman and he wanted to prove to her that he knew Robin. He went to the apartment building and asked Robin to come out and sign something for his woman friend. Robin sent down an autographed picture of herself. She was really upset by the whole thing. King of All Blacks was so funny this morning that Howard said he'd like him to come down to be one of the judges in the upcoming Breast Implant Pageant. That will happen on Thursday.
