-- Friday November 6, 1998 --

Jessica Hahn Calls In. 11/6/98. 6:40am
Howard's old friend Jessica Hahn called in to promote an E! special that's about her. The show, E! True Hollywood Stories, airs on Sunday night at 8pm. The show covers Jessica's life after she had an affair with Jim Baker. She also talks about her relationship with Sam Kinison and her friendship with Howard. Howard and Jessica spoke about Jessica's current boyfriend who she's been dating for 7 years. The guy created ''Married With Children'' so he's got some big bucks. He bought Jessica a home and only comes over to visit her about 3 times a week. She and Howard also talked about how Jessica uses a man's penis as a pacifier after having sex with them. Howard loves to hear stuff like that.
KC's Interviews From Movie Premiere. 11/6/98. 7:10am
Associate Producer KC went out to the premiere of ''Meet Joe Black'' and got a few quick interviews. First up was Carmen Electra. He asked her some pretty simple questions and she answered them. After he asked her if she had any advice for women going through menopause she took off. The second interview was with some actress by the name of Gabby Hoffman. She answered a couple of questions but left when she found out that KC was from Howard's show. Up next was Lisa Canning from ''Entertainment Tonight.'' KC got off a bunch of good questions but when he asked her ''Have you ever fondled yourself in a public place?'' she ended the interview. The final interview was with old hag Lauren Bacall. KC went right for the worst question. He asked her if she ever allows herself to be photographed while on her period. She said ''What?'' a few times then called KC a fool and walked away. KC got a quick interview with Henry Winkler but when Winkler saw that KC was reading his questions he left. What a dick!
Daniel Carver Movie Reviews. 11/6/98. 7:45am
KKK dude Daniel Carver called in with a few new movie reviews today. Howard had Daniel go out to the movies to see Oprah Winfrey's new movie ''Beloved.'' Daniel said he went to the theater and there were about 15 people in there. He said it was split 50/50 between white and black people. Daniel sat in the back near the door. He sat through the whole thing even though he was bored out of his mind. Daniel said the movie jumped around too much to follow and he thought that no one in the theater enjoyed the movie. He gave ''Beloved'' 0 Burning Crosses. The next movie he reviewed was ''I'm Gonna Get You Sucka'' starring Keenan Ivory Wayans. Daniel said he liked this better than ''Beloved'' since it was a comedy. He gave this movie 2 Burning Crosses. The final movie reviewed was ''The Jazz Singer'' starring Neil Diamond. Daniel didn't like this one much. He said it was a movie about a Jew who would do anything for money. He gave this movie a 1 Burning Cross rating. Before Daniel left he and Robin got into a little bit of an argument. Daniel said that Robin talks in ebonics. Robin speaks very clearly and defended herself. Daniel said that she must be speaking normally while she's on the air and just speaks in ebonics off the air. Daniel plugged his catalog and said he's added a bunch of new items to it lately. He said that you can't get any of this stuff in K-Mart. Daniel called his little catalog KKK-Mart instead. You can find the address for Daniel on the Daniel Carver Movie Review Summary page.
James Woods Calls In. 11/6/98. 8:00am
Actor James Woods called in to promote the movie ''John Carpenter's Vampires'' which he stars in. James said that people always ask him why he doesn't do Howard's show and he has to tell them that he's never been invited on, until now anyway. He sounded thrilled to be on the show and seemed to have a good time talking to Howard. Woods sarcastically said it was really great to follow Daniel Carver. Howard said that he always thought Woods was too classy to come on his show. Howard spoke to Woods about his big penis and all of the women he's dated in the past. They also talked about how smart Woods is. He's got an IQ of 184 and went to college at M.I.T. He said that he sometimes wonders why he's an actor. Howard told him that he wonders that until he gets into bed with his beautiful co-star then he remembers why. Before James got off the phone Howard asked him if he ever saw Daniel Baldwin smoke crack on the set of ''Vampires.'' Woods said he never did see that happen.
Robin Leach Calls In. 11/6/98. 8:20am
The other day Robin went to the Puff Daddy birthday party. The next day she said that Robin Leach had blown her off and was very rude to her. She didn't know why he would be like that so Howard got him to call in to explain what happened. Leach called in and said if he was rude he didn't remember being like that. He said he'd talk to Robin anytime. He said he's not mad at the show and if he did brush Robin off it was only because he was in a rush to get to the bathroom. He said he doesn't even remember seeing Robin at the party. Howard thinks that Leach may have been drunk and/or just didn't recognize Robin. Robin wasn't believing any of this stuff. Howard talked to Leach about his love life and the beautiful women he's banging before getting off the phone. After the call Robin was in one of her weird moods. She was now pissed off at Howard for not backing her up during the phone call. Howard just couldn't figure out what made her mad. There was no good explanation for her attitude. Howard said he'd play back the conversation at a future date so Robin could see how silly it was.
The Gossip Game With Smokin Joe Frasier. 11/6/98.
Boxer Joe Frasier came in to promote a couple of things this morning. There are new dolls out of both Joe and Mohammed Ali so Howard was checking those out. Howard spent a couple of minutes talking with Joe before starting the Mike Walker Gossip game with him. They even played tape of Joe singing to Robin the last time he was on the show. Howard wanted Joe to play the gossip game but after Mike read the stories Joe seemed to be all confused about them so he didn't play. Mike Walker calls in each week with 4 gossip stories from his National Enquirer column. One of the stories is false, try to pick it out of the bunch.
1. Sharon Stone's husband is upset about her walking around their beach front home nude because people might be watching her. He always gives her a robe to wear so there won't be any peeping toms.
2. Rosie O'Donnell bought a twin engine airplane and is learning to fly herself. She's so in love with Tom Cruise that she named the plane ''My Tommy.''
3. Tom Cruise tried to rent a movie at a Blockbuster over in England but they wouldn't let him because he didn't have two forms of I.D.
4. Antonio Banderes had to chase an intruder out of his home recently. He became his movie character Zorro when he grabbed a souvenir sword from the movie and chased the guy out of the house.
Robin and Howard both chose number 2 as the false story. Jackie chose number 3. The actual false story was number 1. No winners this week.
After the game Howard and Joe talked about Joe's DUI arrest that he got out of. He's now suing the Philadelphia police over the incident. They also talked about Joe's toe that was chopped off by a lawn mower. You can visit Joe's web site at www.joefrasiersgym.com. Howard jokingly said that Joe also has new web site called www.mohammed-ali-is-a-pussy.com.

Why Do Celebrities Get Mad At Howard? 11/5/98. 6:05am
Yesterday Howard read an article that quoted Jason Priestley as saying it'll be a long time before he does Howard's show again because he felt he was set up the last time he was on. Howard doesn't know why Jason would be upset and just can't figure it out. Howard said that Gary couldn't get in touch with Priestley yesterday so he must really be pissed off. Then this morning Robin said that Robin Leach must be pissed off at the show but they don't know the reason behind that. Robin was at the Puff Daddy birthday party yesterday and ran into Robin Leach. Robin said ''hi'' to Leach but he just blew her off and didn't talk to her. Gary checked into the computer logs of the show and really couldn't come up with anything that would explain the situation. Howard said he doesn't really care if people don't like him though. He was just curious to find out the reason behind it.
Howard Pissed At Marvin Kitman. 11/5/98. 6:25am
Howard was pissed off at an article that was written by Marvin Kitman. This guy used to love Howard's E! show but in his latest article he bashes the Saturday night show. Howard thinks that Kitman is just mad that Howard hasn't had him on the show lately. He said that he's going to start talking about him and bashing him if he doesn't call in within two days. Later in the show Gary said that Marvin couldn't come to the phone because he has a deadline this morning. Kitman's article in Newsday bashes both Howard and Mel Karmazin. He says that Mel is ruining CBS because of it's cheap programming. Howard had to point out that CBS spent billions of dollars on the NFL football stuff. So one show, Howard's, is cheap.
Robin's Trip To The Puff Daddy Birthday Bash. 11/5/98. 7:20am
Robin told Howard about her trip to the Puff Daddy birthday party last night. She took Ralph with her since he loves to be at these things. Robin said that she saw Mariah Carrey, Lauren Hutton, Tyson Beckford, Kevin Costner and Elle McPherson at the party. She also said that they had strippers dancing in cages around the party room. She didn't really hang out with many of the celebs though. She only had a quick story to tell about Tyson Beckford coming up to her but it wasn't that interesting.
Howard Learns About Epilation Hair Removal. 11/5/98. 7:40am
This woman called in recently and told Howard about this new hair removal technique. She and a couple of her clients came in to show Howard how it works. The woman, Cindy, explained how this Epilation technique is a permanent hair removal thing. She said that laser hair removal isn't permanent but this thing is. One woman, Kendal, had her pubic hair removed and showed Howard the outcome. The guy, Chris, had half the hair removed from his back. It takes a bunch of visits to do it but apparently it works. Cindy's shop, Completely Bare, is in New York City at 764 Madison Avenue. Howard spent most of the segment talking to Kendal about her sex life. 29 year old Kendal said she hasn't had sex since February. Howard asked her if she pleases herself since she doesn't have sex much. She said that she's tried it but can't get into it. Howard found out that she's Irish Catholic so that must explain her being so frigid. Howard said that she was a very attractive woman but she must not be fun in bed. He said that most guys wouldn't want to be her boyfriend but they'd like to be her friend. She said that she's not frigid but Howard didn't believe it.
Andy Bloom's Stupid Ideas. 11/5/98. 8:25am
Andy Bloom, the program director from WQRC FM 100.3 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, came up with a really dumb idea for Howard. Andy wanted Howard to do a special phone calling thing that leaves messages for people asking them to listen to Howard's show. Andy is all paranoid about Howard's ratings not going up fast enough in Minneapolis. Howard told him that he has to give it time. Andy was the program director in Philadelphia when Howard started down there so he should know that it takes time. It took 3 years in Philly and 5 years in Rochester, NY before he was number one. Howard yelled at Andy over the phone about this stupid idea but Andy still thought it would work. He said that people would be so impressed with getting a message from Howard that they'd listen to the show. The only people who would be impressed are the people who are already fans but Andy just couldn't understand that. After Howard was done goofing on Andy he hung up on him. Andy called back and took even more abuse. Howard was taking phone calls from people who thought that Andy's ideas were just plain stupid. Not one of them thought it was a good idea. Andy would keep asking them ''if you got a phone call from Howard Stern wouldn't you be impressed?'' The callers would point out that they're already fans so it didn't matter but Andy just wouldn't listen. Eventually Howard said that he'd do some recordings for the phone calls. He would say stuff like ''Andy Bloom is a raging queen'' and tell him that he could use that for the calls. One caller called in and suggested that Andy send out a chain letter saying that if the people didn't listen to the show something bad would happen to them. Howard thought that was pretty funny. Andy didn't seem impressed though.
The Singing Psychic Calls In. 11/5/98. 9:20am
Fran Baskerville, the Singing Psychic, called in with a few new predictions today. Fran has called in a few times in the past. She sings her predictions while playing guitar. Last time she predicted that the Yankees would win the World Series so maybe she's got special powers. Today Fran predicted that
- President Clinton will be impeached
- Howard's TV show will expand
- An earthquake will hit San Diego and a hidden gold mine will be found
- Robin will make an unexpected trip for a relative
- A Nazi war criminal thought to be dead will be found in Oklahoma
- Eric Rudolph will be found in North Carolina
Howard also asked her what celebrity will be next to die. Fran sang her prediction that Elizabeth Taylor will be next sometime after the new year. This was good news for Jackie who has her in the show death pool. Before Fran got off the phone she said that Jackie has to worry about getting a speeding ticket. If you'd like to contact Fran just give her a call at 972-380-0989.
Tape Of Gary And Scott The Engineer Fighting. 11/5/98. 9:25am
Yesterday Gary and Scott the engineer got in a yelling match. Scott has started taking lunches at 8am and yesterday he didn't tell anyone what needed to be done. Luckily there was videotape running at the time of their fight. Scott says that he has been forced to take lunches after 13 years of not taking them. Scott was charging the company overtime because he was constantly working so they asked him why. That led to Scott taking his 1 hour lunch break every day. Howard thinks it's Scott's union that's behind all of this but Scott says it's not. Scott claims that he asked for some help doing what he does and that's when the overtime thing came up. Howard said that if he'd just kept his mouth shut a day longer he would have had his help. Now he's gone and shot himself in the foot. Two interns came in who work with Scott and said that he doesn't give them enough to do while he's on lunch. Gary said that Scott won't teach the interns how to work the equipment because it takes too long. Gary tried to point out that if he taught them they could work on stuff while he's working on other stuff. Scott doesn't see it that way so he won't teach them. Bloated Attorney Dominic Barbara called in and made a good point. He reminded Scott that he gets a free plug for his DJ business so that should be worth the overtime he works. Scott just kept quiet about that. He didn't want to talk about the plug for some reason.
Tara's Evaluation Of Howard. 11/5/98. 10:45am
Howard was talking about the new camera woman Tara and how he thinks she likes him more now than she did when she first started. Tara came in to the studio to tell Howard how she really feels. When she first started a few weeks back Tara said that she wasn't interested in Howard because he was too old. Howard says he just got the feeling that she likes him now that she's worked with him. Tara said that she's not sexually attracted to Howard but she does like him more now than she did when she began. She said that she likes Fred the best. She said that Jackie is too mean, Howard is too whiny and Gary is too chatty. She said she likes the quiet types like Fred. Howard kept telling her that she must be afraid to admit she really does like him sexually. He kept on her until she said that she does like him.
Dave And Erica Cancel Appearance Tomorrow. 11/5/98. 11:05am
The two losers who called in a couple of weeks ago called in to cancel their appearance for tomorrow. This is the guy who called in and asked Howard for his advice on finding out whether or not his wife is cheating on him. They were supposed to come in and have Erica take a lie detector test tomorrow but Dave says that his family has been throwing a fit not wanting him to go on the show. His wife didn't want to tell Howard why they weren't coming on but Dave broke down. For those of you who missed seeing the pictures of his naked wife on the web just head over to www.sexysites.com/daveanderica. When Dave originally called in he didn't want everyone to see the pics so he didn't give out the web address over the air. Listeners figured out where it was though so now you can see his wife nude. Make sure you spread the word on the address so everyone can see the pics.

Howard Yells At Gary And KC. 11/4/98. 6:05am
Howard spent a solid half hour yelling at KC and Gary about their latest screw up. It seems that KC booked a woman who gives oral sex to a dog. Not just a dog though, a pit bull. KC claimed that Howard approved the dog blow job woman but Howard says he didn't. In either case the guy who's controlling the delay button now, Andre, said he didn't like the idea of a woman giving oral sex to a dog. Howard said that he told KC to invite the woman in without the dog so they could play a game like ''What's My Secret'' or something like that. Somehow everything got screwed up and KC wasn't sure whether or not the woman was going to come in. Howard told Gary to call the woman and tell her what they wanted to do. Howard said that KC really screwed it up by telling the woman not to come in at all. The funniest part was when Howard told Gary exactly what to tell the woman. He told Gary to say ''Hello, my name is Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show...'' He must have told Gary this about 5 times on the air. Gary tried to tell Howard that he was treating him like a child but Howard said that he needs to be treated like that. The other part of the story is this guy Andre. Howard said that Andre took over Tom Chiusano's job of censoring the show when Howard says something that could get him fined by the FCC. Howard said he's going to talk to his boss Mel Karmazin about Andre because he's acting like a General Manager.
Howard Invited To Puff Daddy Birthday Party. 11/4/98. 6:55am
Howard mentioned that he received an invitation to rapper Puff Daddy's birthday party. He also received a videotape of a bunch of celebrities promoting the upcoming party. He said it was kind of weird to see people like Danny DeVito, Ellen DeGeneres and Penny Marshall talking about Puff Daddy. Howard said he's not going to the party but Robin may. Howard said he doesn't even know the guy so why would he go.
A Pig Saves The Life Of A Woman. 11/4/98. 7:10am
This woman Joanna called in to tell a story about how her pet pig saved her life a few months ago. Joanna explained how she was on a camping trip staying in a trailer. She collapsed from a heart attack in the trailer and couldn't move. Her dog and 150 pound pet pig were with her. Her dog barked at her while she screamed for help. The pet pig knew something was wrong and squeezed out a dog door that was on the trailer door. The pig scraped it's belly getting out of the dog door because it was too small. The pig went out to the road that was near by and played dead with it's legs in the air. The pig would occasionally run back to check on it's owner but then it would go back out to the road. Eventually a guy stopped and followed the pig back. He was going to report Joanna for animal abuse because the thing was bleeding. The guy got help for her and helped save her life. It was a pretty amazing story. Joanna said that the pig has been a pet since it weighed 4 pounds. The thing was house trained and everything. Joanna said that people have told her that dogs are smarter than the one she has. Her's just sat there barking like a dumb ass while the pig saved her life.
The $10,000 Bet That Says Howard's Hair Is Fake. 11/4/98. 8:00am
This listener called in and asked Howard why he doesn't tell people that his hair is fake. That led to Howard placing a bet with this guy. Howard is going to put up $50,000 to the guy's $10,000 that says his hair is fake. Howard invited the guy down to pull his hair to see if it's a wig or not. He told the guy that he has to bring in cash or a cashier's check for $10,000 and he'll do the same with his $50,000. The guy seems pretty confident that he's right. Howard thinks the guy won't even show up. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
Author Larry Arnold Talks Spontaneous Combustion. 11/4/98. 8:35am
This guy Larry Arnold wrote a book called ''Ablaze!; The Mysterious Fires of Spontaneous Human Combustion'' which has some cool pictures of people who apparently spontaneously combusted. Howard spoke to the guy about how this stuff happens. Larry said no one really knows how or why it happens but people have witnessed it. Howard explained a couple of the pictures in the book. There was one woman that was totally burned up except for her two legs. There was another guy who's hand burned up internally while he slept. Larry also said that when people spontaneously combust their heads shrink down to the size of an orange for some reason. Larry didn't have any answers to why this stuff happens though. One guy called in and said that there are reasonable answers for this phenomenon but some people just don't look for them. He said that most people that combust are alcoholic smokers who fall asleep and catch themselves on fire. Howard and Robin wondered why the rest of the house doesn't burn down if that's the case. Needless to say this argument could go on for a long time. If you want to get the book you can try Amazon.com or call 717-236-0080.
Melrose Larry's Death Wish. 11/4/98. 8:50am
Melrose Larry must have a death wish. Howard played some tape of Melrose Larry at a Black Israelite gathering yelling out Howard's name over and over again. These guys are very angry people who hate the ''so called white man.'' They preach hatred toward white people and have even called Melrose a ''cracker faggot'' according to Melrose. Howard had Melrose on the phone but he was so annoying that Howard couldn't put up with it for long. Melrose did say that after yelling out Howard's name for a couple of minutes, the Black Israelites started to hit him and chased him away. Howard said that he didn't like the Black Israelites before but now that they've tried to beat up Melrose he does like them.
Dying Roy Kills A Man. 11/4/98. 9:35am
Dying Roy, the guy who is dying of Lupas, called in to tell Howard how he just got out of jail for killing an intruder. Roy is the guy who came in a while back and ate marshmallow fluff and Fruity Pebbles off of a stripper. Roy was upset when he called in this morning. He explained how he just got released from jail for shooting and killing a guy who broke into his house. Roy said that he just got out of the hospital after three weeks of being really sick and then he shoots and kills an intruder. Howard told Roy not to be so upset because he'll be dead soon anyway. Roy said he's just worried about what it'll do to his family. Robin wondered what they should do when Roy does die. Howard came up with some really funny suggestions. He said that they could dress him as Santa Claus and put him out on the street. They could call it ''Weekend At Roy's'' and call him Santa Corpse. Roy said he would let Howard do all of this too. Howard said he'd have a lawyer draw up the papers. Howard also said they could put him in the window of a mattress store with Roy lying there dead. Robin said they could put him in a trunk with a voice box inside and have someone yell ''Help!'' until someone opens the box. Howard thinks that Roy will be dead by Christmas. Robin doesn't think it'll happen that soon so she bet Howard $50. Roy plans on being cremated but said that he'd let Howard have his body first. Wow! This should make for an interesting TV show when it happens!

Howard Still Sick But Back At Work. 11/3/98. 6:05am
The reason Howard was out yesterday was because he was sick. He came back today but he's still sick. He said he wanted to take another day off but they didn't have any more ''Best Of'' material to play. This is all because Scott the Engineer is too busy working on bumpers for the show. He's not creating them, he's dubbing them from one format of tape to another. Scott claims that he needs an assistant because he just doesn't have time to do everything he needs to do. He claimed that he spends hours working in the studio turning on microphones and stuff but Robin didn't believe it. She suggested that it takes him a half hour to walk from the studio back to his work area. Howard still sounds stuffed up and has a nasty cough going. There was a rumor going around that said Howard ran in the New York City Marathon on Sunday but that didn't happen. Howard said he watched the thing on TV but he didn't have any plans on running in it.
The Rupert Murdoch Situation Put To Rest. 11/3/98. 6:40am
A listener called in this morning and asked Howard about what happened with the whole Rupert Murdoch situation from a few weeks ago. Howard said that he talked about it (he made a very quick mentioned a couple of weeks ago) and the guy must not have heard what he said. Howard never really got into detail the time he mentioned it. So today Howard told the guy ''let's just say that they(the NY Post) backed off'' and agreed not to print Howard's address in the paper anymore. So that's that for the whole Rupert Murdoch situation.
Libby Patacki Calls In. 11/3/98. 7:20am
Libby Patacki, wife of NY Governor George Patacki, called in to get Howard's support for today's election. Howard hasn't been getting too political in the past year but since today is election day he's pushing for his favorites. He wants Governor Patacki to stay put along with Senator Alfonse D'Amato. Howard spent a few minutes talking with Libby about why Governor Patacki should be reelected.
Jessica The Breast Trick Girl. 11/3/98. 8:00am
This woman Jessica came in to show Howard her very special talent. Jessica can hold stuff under her very large breasts. Howard spoke to the 26 year old for a few minutes and then moved on. Jessica can put stuff under her huge breasts and it'll stay there. She told Howard that she started doing this after her roommates goofed around and put doody bands(Jessica's name for rubber bands) on her boobies. One of her friends, Amy, came in and said they never put stuff on Jessica's breasts. Amy said that Jessica did it herself. So Jessica took off her top and showed Howard her amazing talent. She put Howard's book Miss America under her breast and it stayed put. She then went on to put a frying pan, a waffle griddle, a telephone, a 2 liter bottle of Coke and an iron under her breasts. Each item was held in place by the massive weight of her giant breasts. Howard was amazed. After all of that Howard wanted to move on but Jessica wanted to stick around and talk. Howard asked her what she wanted to talk about but Jessica didn't know so he ended the segment.
Mike Piazza Calls In. 11/3/98. 8:25am
New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza called in to talk with Howard. Mike just recently signed a $91 Million 7 year contract with the Mets. Howard is pretty impressed with that kind of money of course. Gary came in and told Howard that Mike also gets some other perks with this contract. He gets his own hotel suite when the team is on the road and he gets a luxury box at the Mets stadium. He said that Howard and the gang are welcome to use the box during the season. Mike kept telling Howard that he's not getting laid even with all of the money he's making. Howard knew he was full of crap but offered to put him on a dating game when he's in town next. Howard said he'd find 2 really gorgeous women and one pig to play the game. That should happen sometime in the near future. Near the end of the interview a guy called in and said he knows that Mike is dating 2 really hot women and he's seen them. Mike didn't deny it so it may be true.
Actress Wendy Malek Comes In. 11/3/98. 8:40am
Wendy Malek from the NBC comedy ''Just Shoot Me'' came in to plug the show which airs Tuesday's at 9pm. Wendy was supposed to play ''Guess Who's The Whore'' but the prostitute who was to play the game never showed up. Howard thought that they could play a homeless game but Wendy wouldn't do it because she's such a do-gooder. She does all kinds of charity work so she didn't want to be a part of the homeless game. Howard just did an interview with her instead. Wendy used to be a model and she was on the show ''Dream On'' for a while before doing ''Just Shoot Me.'' Wendy works with David Spade on the show so Howard spent a little time on that subject. He said that Spade lies about his age. Howard asked Wendy how old she thinks Spade really is. Wendy thought that he was 34 but Howard said he knows for a fact that he's at least 41. Howard told Wendy that the next time she sees Spade to tell him ''Happy 44th!'' David Spade is hosting Saturday Night Live this week so he's competing with Howard's show.
Linda Blair Calls In. 11/3/98. 9:10am
Actress Linda Blair called in to defend herself against an article that ran in the New York Post last week. Linda claims that they misquoted her about her view on animal research for finding a cure for Christopher Reeve's paralysis. Howard came to the conclusion that what the Post had written wasn't that far off the mark. She doesn't think that mice should be used for experiments to come up with a cure for paralysis. She thinks they should move on to different ways of coming up with a cure. She was saying that her comments were taken out of context and she's suing them for that. The original article was written by Chaunce Hayden from Steppin' Out Magazine. He called in and told Linda not to back down from her views. It sounded like she was trying to back pedal on her views about Christopher Reeve bringing his accident on himself. She said that she was just quoting something that was written 4 years ago. Howard took a few phone calls from people who both agreed and disagreed about Linda's view. One woman said that horseback riding is just as bad as breaking mouse backs. Linda is an avid horseback rider but she doesn't think that what she does is exploitation. She thinks that racing horses may be exploitation but not just riding them. Everything was just going around in circles over and over again. What a mess. Howard also talked to Linda about other things in her life. She says that she has a sitcom in the works and she's done some work for E! Entertainment recently.
Pat Cooper Calls In. 11/3/98. 9:50am
Comedian Pat Cooper made a quick call to Howard today. Pat was calling in to yell about the vegetarian Linda Blair. He was all riled up about how screwy her logic was. He and Howard also spoke about the election today. Pat is with Howard on his political views. Pat didn't stay on long and as he was getting off the phone Howard told him that he can come in anytime he wants to. Pat said that he'd check with Gary when they have an opening. This is what starts fights between Howard and Pat. Howard tells Pat that he can come in anytime to plug stuff but Pat wants to be invited on the show. Howard calmed Pat down by telling him that he'd call him next time.
Howard Zooms In On Dr. Laura. 11/3/98. 10:45am
After Robin read a story about how the Dr. Laura Schleshinger nude pictures will remain on the web Gary came in and said Howard had to see one of them. It turns out that www.clublove.com has a special zoom feature with the pictures that allows you to zoom in on the nude pics and see every nasty detail. Gary came in and brought up the web site on Howard's computer. After a few minutes of screwing around Gary finally got the picture up and showed Howard. The picture is one of Dr. Laura with her legs spread. Gary zoomed in on her very hairy crotch so Howard could see just how nasty it was. They lost the connection shortly after zooming in but Howard said he'd seen enough. Howard asked Robin ''Were we looking between Dr. Laura's legs or at the Midtown tunnel?'' Robin said that she thought they were looking at the deepest, darkest jungle.
