-- Monday October 4, 1999 --

Fascinating Fact From The Guinness Book Of World Records. 10/4/99. 6:40am
Howard brought up an interesting fact that he found in ''The Guinness Book of World Records 1999'' this morning. He was talking about conjoined twins and said that one of the categories was ''Most Famous Conjoined Twin'' or something like that. He said that the book says that actor Andy Garcia was born with a tennis ball sized conjoined twin on his shoulder. It was removed shortly after birth. Howard said that would make for a good interview. He wasn't interested in interviewing him in the past but now he is.
Howard's Saturday Night Show Screwed Up In L.A. 10/4/99. 6:45am
Howard took a phone call from an upset Los Angeles listener who said that KCBS screwed up the playing of the Saturday night show this week. He said that they replayed the Heather Locklear segment and cut off Pamela Anderson's segment halfway through it. Of course Howard was upset and pissed that a station like that can't even play the show correctly. He said that he would ask his boss Mel Karmazin why that is. He also suggested that KCBS should pre-empt Letterman tonight and play the full ''The Howard Stern Show'' in it's place. He said it would definitely get better ratings and it would allow the fans to see the whole show.
Howard Replays Tom & Roseanne Tape. 10/4/99. 7:15am
Howard took the time to replay last week's 20 minute segment where Roseanne and Tom Arnold argued with each other.
Johnny Toxic Brings Cream & Shel To Vomit On Each Other. 10/4/99. 8:15am
These two women came in this morning to vomit on each other. Apparently this guy Johnny Toxic made this porno ''Johnny Toxic's Vomitorium'' where the women have a vomiting fetish and they hurl on each other for some odd reason. The original plan was to have the women puke on High Pitch Eric but he didn't show up because he had something else to do. Instead Howard interviewed the women for a few minutes then had them do their thing. The women, Cream and Shel (Michelle), said that they get really drunk and that helps them puke. Cream is the one who likes to get puked on and Shel is the puker. They do this while they're completely nude by the way. Before the girls did their thing everyone in the studio got a bucket just in case they had to puke after watching this mess. Gary said he would probably vomit when he saw them do it. Jackie always pukes after seeing stuff like this so he was at risk also. Eventually the girls got naked and Shel prepared to puke on Cream. KC told Howard that he was really excited to see this. Benjy came in and volunteered to be vomited on but Howard kicked him out of the studio. Howard said that Cream had small breasts but they were cute. Shel had large breasts but Howard didn't say much about them. Shel soon started sticking her fingers down her throat and after a few tries she finally threw up on Cream's back. Everyone was disgusted by the sight of it. Howard said ''Okay, I've seen it all.. I can retire now..'' Someone said that the vomit was just lying in the small of Creams back and shortly after that Gary threw up in his bucket. They had to get the girls out of there before anyone else threw up. Johnny Toxic said you can either call 877-I-VOMIT-2 or check out Vomitorium.com. Shel and Cream can be seen at either StrawberryBox.com or GM-Video.com
Arnold Schwarzenegger Calls In. 10/4/99. 8:45am
Movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger called in from an airplane flying over France this morning. Howard said there was some confusion and some people thought that Arnold was coming in live but he won't be in live until November. Arnold was having some trouble hearing Howard so the conversation was kept pretty short. Arnold said he just wanted to congratulate Howard on all of his success and say he's looking forward to coming in next month. He'll be promoting a new movie when he comes in then. Howard did have one big question for Arnold before he got off the phone. He heard that O.J. Simpson was the original choice to play the Terminator in the ''Terminator'' movie. Arnold confirmed that and said that he was to play another character but they decided to use him instead of O.J. because he knew the right way to play the character. Howard asked Arnold if he thinks O.J. will come after him because he stole his part. Arnold isn't worried about that. Arnold told Howard and Robin that he'd set up a private screening for his new movie before he comes in next month.
Porn Actress Candy Apples Comes In. 10/4/99. 8:55am
Porn actress Candy Apples came in to promote the fact that she's going to do a gang bang movie where she does at least 1000 guys. When she came in Howard was surprised how good she looked. He said she looks like a young Rebecca DeMornay. Candy went on to explain to Howard how she's going to have this gang bang then get married at the end of it. She said her fiance will be the first and last to bang her then they'll get married right there on the set. Howard tried to find out what went wrong in this woman's life that led her down the road to porno. She said that she grew up in a stable family in an upper middle class home. She said that she wasn't abused and her parents never told her that sex was wrong. That's why she started having sex at the age of 13. She told Howard how she would use sex to get better grades from student teachers in school. She said that started in 3rd grade! She used to use her hand on teachers that would help her after school. It later led to oral sex and sometimes intercourse. She also fooled around with girls when she was in her early teens. Now she does porno and loves to do anal sex scenes. She said that she once had 3 guys doing anal to her at one time! Candy said that her husband is okay with this and they even do threesomes with both women and men. She claimed that she's slept with a lot of famous people but she wouldn't say any names. She eventually said that her gang bang will be taking place on October 9 and she's still looking for volunteers. Woman and men are invited to join the fun. You can find out more at GangBang.com or e-mail her at CandyApples@GangBang.com. She said that the guys won't get much time with her but she will be doing anal. She has about 2500 names already but she invited everyone to volunteer because she'll bang everyone that comes. Howard took a couple of phone calls and one woman wanted to know how she's going to deal with the inflammation that comes from so many guys doing her. Candy isn't too worried about it and she'll probably take some breaks to ice down. She only has one day to shoot the movie so she has to do it all as fast as possible. Another porn actress called in and bragged that she'll be gang banging 2000 guys soon. Candy said that she may do that many depending on how many actually show up.

Bowie Cancels / Howard Talks About Clogging Toilet Instead. 10/5/99. 6:05am
First thing this morning Howard announced that David Bowie's people called and canceled his appearance for today. He was scheduled to come in and sing ''Rebel Rebel'' and possibly ''China Girl'' live in the studio. Bowie got sick and said he wasn't able to perform. All of his equipment was already there and Howard couldn't believe how much stuff there was. It was all set up and ready to go but no Bowie to use it. Howard wasn't too upset because he doesn't think all of his audience would be in to Bowie. He said that his fans would rather hear him talk about himself anyway. So within a few minutes Howard was talking about how he'd clogged up his toilet yesterday after making a large bowel movement. Luckily it was at his apartment in the city and not at home. After flushing the toilet 20 times he decided to just let it sit over night so it might loosen up. This, of course, led to other people coming in and telling their own stories of clogging toilets. Gary, Stuttering John and Scott DePace from E! all had their own stories of clogging up toilets in various places. Oh, Al Sharpton also canceled today but he'll be in later this week.
KC's Adam Sandler Review. 10/5/99. 8:05am
In the past KC has been a huge fan of comedian Adam Sandler. Howard never understood how Sandler became so big because he didn't think he was that funny. KC always told Howard he doesn't know what he's missing.. until today. KC got the new Sandler album ''Stan and Judy's Kid'' and thought it was awful. He brought the CD in for Howard so he could hear the unfunny bits on it. Howard played a couple of clips from the CD. The first one was Sandler doing his baby talk and the bit dragged on and didn't go anywhere. Another bit KC pointed out was one where Sandler is ''The Cool Guy'' and he talks to women and calls his penis a dopey name. KC said he does that about 4 times and they're all the same joke but they're not funny. KC said he still thinks his old stuff was hilarious though.
Melrose Larry Calls In With Audio For Howard. 10/5/99. 8:15am
Melrose Larry Green called in with tape of last night's ''Extra'' news program. They did a report about how Michael Jackson has been seen at a Jewish Synagog and some people are wondering if he's going to convert. Howard wondered why anyone would want to convert to become a Jew. Especially Michael Jackson who has enough of his own problems. Eventually Howard got fed up with it all and played his Backside Boys song ''Every Homo.''
Howard Almost Smashes Bowie's Guitar. 10/5/99. 8:45am
David Bowie's equipment was still sitting around late in the show so Howard picked up his Fender guitar and started fooling around with it. He strummed it a few times and found out it was out of tune. He played with it then someone suggested that he smash it because Bowie didn't show up. Howard said he was tempted to do that but the guitar was too nice. Howard also said that Tom was all riled up because Bowie demanded some food and Tom got a big platter of stuff that was about $350. He was upset about losing out on the money. Howard later decided to give away Bowie's guitars in a contest. He just played a couple of quick games with Robin and himself. Both of them won a guitar so KC took them out of the studio to hide them. Bowie's crew were scheduled to show up at 9:30 to take the equipment from the studio so Howard wanted the guitars hidden.
Andre Hitting The Delay Gets To Howard Again. 10/5/99. 9:00am
Howard got pissed of at Andre again today. A listener called in and complained that the delay had been hit during a phone call where a woman told Howard she'd just had anal sex for the first time. Howard called Andre in but he wasn't willing to talk about what he'd censored out of the show. Tom Chiusano came in shortly after that and told Andre to go back to the button. Howard threatened to fire Andre if he left the studio but Tom told him to go. Andre left and Howard said he'd be gone in a week. Andre took over the delay button last year when Tom got sick with cancer. Today Howard suggested that Tom be put back on the button because Andre screws up too often. Tom is much better now and Howard thinks he should be back on the button. The subject changed when Howard said that Andre is a Beatles expert. He even has his own web page that Howard checked out. Howard was on it for a few minutes until everyone listening went on the site and crashed it. You can check it out yourself at AndreGardner.com. They went on to ask Andre all kinds of really hard trivia questions about The Beatles and he knew some really hard answers. Everyone thought that it was really scary that he knows so much.
Gary's Appearance On MTV's ''Say What Karaoke.'' 10/5/99. 9:45am
Howard brought Gary in this morning to talk about how he was trying to hide his appearance on MTV's awful show ''Say What Karaoke.'' A couple months back Gary did an appearance on the show and never told Howard about it. Gary said he wasn't really hiding the appearance, he just thought there was no reason to mention it to Howard. Howard wondered why he would do such a bad show. Gary said he did it for a charity he's involved with, not for money. Everyone goofed on Gary for a while then they moved on to Jackie who's also done a few wacky TV shows.
-- Wednesday October 6, 1999 --
The Go Go's Come In. 10/6/99. 7:00am
All girl band The Go Go's came in to promote a new song they have out on the ''Superstar: Dare To Dream'' movie soundtrack. Howard also wanted them to perform a song parody of their song ''We Got The Beat'' called ''He's Got Big Teeth.'' It was about Gary of course. Howard spent a little while talking to the girls before they performed. We learned that Jane has been separated from her husband of 14 years for the past few months. Jane also said she has about $6 million left from her days in the Go Go's but she may have to give up half to her husband when they divorce. Belinda is now living in France so the girls don't see each other much. They got together to do ''Beautiful'' for the movie soundtrack but they won't be making a video for it. All of the young male interns on Howard's show were telling Gary how good the girls looked and wanted to know how old they really are. Belinda said she's now 41. The other two didn't say how old they are but the interns said they look like their still in their 20's. They were very flattered by that. Eventually Howard had the girls perform ''He's Got Big Teeth.'' After they did that they performed an old song of theirs called ''Fun With Ropes'' which sounded great.
''Wackiest Listener'' F-Emmy Award. 10/6/99. 8:00am
Howard gave away another F-Emmy this morning. Robin made a good point when she said this award show is the longest thing around. Howard started the awards a couple of weeks ago and he's still giving out awards. Today he had the category ''Wackiest Listener'' to give away. The three nominees were:
- Woman who cried over the miscarriage scene in ''Private Parts''
- Guy who thinks he's Jesus
- Crazy Black Alice who yells and screams about how she hates other blacks
And the F-Emmy goes to... Crazy Black Alice. Alice was unable to call in live but they had a prerecorded message that Alice left on Gary's voice mail. Alice ranted about how she doesn't ''give a F'' about what other people think of her. She also said she thinks Robin is gay. She signed off by yelling out a few ''Baba Booey's.''
2 Truths And A Lie With Robin Radzinski. 10/6/99. 8:15am
Robin Radzinski, Supervising Producer for Howard's E! show, came in to play 2 Truths and a Lie with Howard and Robin. They didn't just play it once though. They played 5 games. Each time Howard, Robin, Jackie and Fred would try and pick out the lie. Here's the first set:
- She once had a nervous breakdown and spent 3 days in the hospital
- She's a member of the mile high club
- She once woke up from a blackout bathed, powdered and in a bathrobe
The false story was fairly easy for everyone to pick out. It was the nervous breakdown story. Robin went on to explain how she had sex in an airplane and how two gay guys bathed and powdered her when she was drunk one night. Howard was fascinated so he went on to play more of the game. Here's the second set of stories:
- She ate only frozen yogurt for a month and grew fur on her arms
- She was best friends with Loni Anderson's daughter in Jr. High School
- She once had breast reduction surgery
The false story was the breast reduction surgery story. She explained how she was on a diet eating only frozen yogurt for a month. She lost weight and started getting a fur on her arms. She stopped eating the yogurt and the fur went away. She also knew Loni Anderson's daughter because she grew up in Los Angeles. Howard kept going..
- She went with an ex-lover on his honeymoon
- She slept with Scott Einziger after his divorce
- She got a ticket for urinating in public on a first date
The false story was the Scott Einziger story. She told Howard how she had been dating this guy and they had planned on vacation with him. She went to his house and was told he was out in Las Vegas getting married. When he returned he told her that the trip was now his honeymoon but she could still go. She went but no one told the guy's wife what was going on. She also told the story about how she was humiliated when some cops caught her peeing next to her date's car. They brought them both over to show them what she'd done. Howard was still into the game so he played again..
- She gave oral sex to her boss under his desk
- She lost her virginity to Valerie Bertinelli's brother
- She had sex on the Small World ride at Disneyland
The false story was the Small World ride story. She told Howard how she dated her Lawyer boss while working as a receptionist in a law office. She'd go into his office to take dictation and he'd have her get under the desk to work on him instead. She said it happened a couple of times. She also quickly told Howard how she lost her virginity to Valerie Bertinelli's brother. He was friends with her uncles or something like that and they hooked up a few times. Howard had one last set of stories:
- Her father would make her walk on crutches so he could park in handicapped spaces
- She lost her virginity while wasted on mushrooms
- She had an affair with a monk in a Zen monastery
The false story was the Monk story. She said it was true that her father made her walk on crutches so he could park in handicapped parking spots. She also said it was great losing her virginity while on hallucinogenic mushrooms because she actually enjoyed it unlike some of her friends.
Lisa The Blind Playboy Model Cries For Money Again. 10/6/99. 8:35am
Earlier this morning Howard played a message that Lisa the blind Playboy model recently left for him. In the message she begged for money from Howard because her phone service is about to be cut off. Howard just spoke to her last week and told her he wasn't going to loan her any money. In her message this week she said her cable TV had just been cut. Howard told her that maybe now she can afford rent if she doesn't waste money on frivolous things like cable. He let her plug her movie so maybe she'll make some money on that. You can send a check: Cannibal Roller Babes, 2 Carlton Street, Suite 721, Toronto, Canada M5B1J3.
We Learn How To Pee In Public. 10/6/99. 9:00am
The problem.. You can't pee in public restrooms. The cure.. Dr. Soifer. Howard told everyone that he was going to have this Dr. on who could cure people who are unable to go to the bathroom in public places. He got the doctor on the phone and learned about this problem called Paruresis, spelled wrong I'm sure. The Dr. went on to tell Howard how he has this problem himself so he tried to come up with a cure. He said he's gotten better over the past 4 years or so and now gives classes where he tries to help others with this problem. He said there are millions of men and women who are unable to urinate for some reason or another and they sometimes hold it in until they pass out or need a catheter. There's no cure that works for every person but he said distracting yourself will usually help. If you listen to a walkman or talk to yourself, like Howard does, it may help you to go. Howard told the Dr. That he avoids using those trough's that some big public bathrooms use and usually will head straight for a stall. Dr. Soifer said that this problem usually stems from a traumatic incident sometime in the person's life. Howard said it was because of his father forcing him to go in a public restroom while the Dr. Said that kids teased him in school when he'd try to go. Chaunce Hayden from Steppin' Out Magazine called in at one point and said he still has the problem to this day. He explained that he has to have his hand in warm water to go at all. He had a real problem when he was in boot camp and had to pee in a cup in front of all of the other guys in with him. He said when he was younger his mother had to come into the bathroom with him and make a swishing sound with her mouth before he could go. If you want to find out more about this problem you can head to Dr. Soifer's web site ShyBladder.org
Celeste The Band Sings Topless. 10/6/99. 9:20am
Three women from a band by the name of Celeste came in to sing for Howard this morning. Howard doesn't usually have unknown bands like this come in but these women said they'd do it topless. How could Howard resist that? When they came in Howard was thrilled because they were all really good looking women. The lead signer, Dania, was from Sweden and was really ''hot'' according to Howard who said ''hot'' about 5 times. The other two women, Vanessa and Crystal, were also really hot. After a couple of minutes of getting to know the girls he had them perform their song. It was a techno sounding bad song but Howard didn't care. Shortly after starting to sing the girls started taking off their tops. Shortly after that they were all down to just thongs with each one wearing a different color. Howard said their bodies were amazing. Even KC came in and commented on how great they looked. Howard let them plug their web site LesbianLineUp.com before they left.

Howard Kills Some Time. 10/7/99. 6:15am
Howard always says that he has a bunch of tapes to play but he never gets around to it. This morning he took some time to play a bunch of them. Most of it is stuff we've already heard but it was so good that Howard had to play it again. The tapes included some Gary Garver interviews, song parodies and Gary's voice mail.
Queen For A Day. 10/7/99. 7:45am
Howard had a car to give away today courtesy of CarsDirect.com. So he brought in 3 women to play a ''Queen for a Day'' game where each woman would tell their life story. Whoever had the most horrible story would win the $40,000 car. They had a choice of a Mercedes Benz, BMW, Lexus or a couple of others. Below you'll find each woman and some of the stories they told.
1. Lisa - Born addicted to heroin. Mom addicted all her life. Mom was in and out of jail for prostitution and selling drugs. Lisa was bounced from home to home. Would watch her mother shoot up as a young child. Her real father took custody of her and her sister then had them perform fellatio on him and his son.

Became a crack whore. Eventually contacted her mother and found out her sister and brother both died of drug overdoses. Lisa also died of an O.D. but was revived. She's now married and has been clean for 3 years.
2. Sarah - Mom married 5 times. Real dad was abusive and a child molester. Abused both her and her sister. Mom divorced dad but he saw Sarah once a year and molested her. Sister told on father but no one believed her. At 14 she was raped by boyfriend. Was moved to Las Vegas but only lasted 1 year because of gangs in school. Had to move in with father at 15. He continued to fondle her. He'd watch her sleep and shower so she wouldn't shower much. Got pregnant at 16. Had to start stripping to make money at 17. Now her ex-husband has custody of child and she wants custody. She now enjoys sex too much and has to have it or she gets upset.
3. Marcy - Her father was abusive. He'd kidnap her and her 4 brothers and tie them up in the woods. He'd put a gun to their heads and threaten their mother that he'd kill them if she didn't come back to him. At 14 she babysat for a neighbor. She hooked up with the guy she babysat for and was pregnant at 16. She got married to the guy, quit school and was abused by him. She left by 18 and hooked up with another guy she thought was nice. He turned out to be a pimp. He made her prostitute herself for months but she eventually left. He burned down the home she was living in and now she has to live with her sister who has a dog that attacks her son. She also lost her job and is $125,000 in debt.
The whole time Sarah was telling her story Howard couldn't get over how cute and sexy she was. After all of the stories were told everyone had a short discussion about who they thought should win. Howard finally told everyone to vote and it came down to a tie breaker. Gary and Jackie both picked Lisa as the winner and Robin and Fred agreed that it should be Marcy. Howard had to break the tie even though he wanted to vote for Sarah, the sex kitten. Howard broke down and gave his vote to Lisa. Lisa decided to take a Mercedes C280 as her prize. Meanwhile, Sarah was begging for breast implants. Everyone's favorite plastic surgeon, Dr. Sal Calabro, called in and said he'd give both Sarah and Marcy implants. Sarah was thrilled. She showed Howard how bad her tiny boobs looked and Howard agreed that she needs them. He didn't think that Marcy needed them as bad but Robin disagreed and said she needs them just as bad as Sarah.
F-Emmy For ''Best Trashing Of A Celebrity By A Celebrity.'' 10/7/99. 9:25am
Howard had yet another F-Emmy to give away this week. The category today was ''Best Trashing of a Celebrity by a Celebrity.'' The nominees included:
- David Lee Roth trashes the members of Van Halen
- Stephen Baldwin trashes Nicolas Cage
- Stephen Baldwin trashes David Letterman
This was an unusual occurrence to have Stephen Baldwin nominated for two different trashings. Of course Stephen won for his trashing of Nicholas Cage. Howard said Stephen wasn't available to call in to accept his award. At first Howard thought that Stephen was afraid to call in and trash Nicolas Cage again but someone told him that he'd called in earlier this morning. Howard was busy at the time and Stephen was unreachable later in the morning.
Robin's Charity Event. 10/7/99. 9:50am
Robin is helping out with a Child Abuse Prevention charity fund raiser tonight and Howard pointed out some interesting things. He said she invited just about everyone at the station except for Benjy and Scott the Engineer. Robin said that she was ready to invite Benjy but she heard another story about him doing something strange so she decided against it. Benjy came in and wasn't too upset about it but he said she was inviting people right in front of him. Robin said that she didn't invite Scott because he can't stay out late because he has to come in so early. Scott seemed a little more upset than Benjy was. He said he's never invited to anything. Howard let him vent for a minute then moved on to let Robin do her news segment.
-- Friday October 8, 1999 --
Robin's Charity Event Discussed. 10/8/99. 6:25am
Last night was Robin's night to shine at a charity event for Child Abuse Prevention. Howard spent a little while talking about what went on there at the event and how Robin was the star of the show. They had a charity auction for a golf game with Gary, Stuttering John and Jackie that went for an amazing $7000. They also auctioned off a trip to Puerto Rico donated by Dominic Barbara that went for $5000. That was a deal because he offered first class tickets down there. Yesterday Howard was saying how Robin hadn't invited Scott the engineer or Benjy but then did end up going to the event anyway. Howard invited Scott and Stuttering John's wife backed out so Benjy got her ticket. At one point Robin got a standing ovation and she started to cry a little bit.
The Gay Family Feud Game. 10/8/99. 7:15am
Howard played a quick game of ''Gay Family Feud'' with a bunch of gay guys. For all of the straight people out there porno star Rebecca Lord came in to stand in a bikini during the game. She'd come in earlier in the show to talk to Howard and he invited her to stand around during the game. There were two teams, The San Francisco Sissies and The Long Island Lilies. Each team had three gay guys on it. Howard introduced each one and spoke to them for a couple of seconds. The sissies consisted of Moon, Brett and Joey. The Lillys were Michael, Delphina and Stan. Delphina was a female impersonator. They all went on to play about 3 rounds of the feud. Howard had surveys of gay men on subjects like:
- Who Is The Hottest Man
- Name a drug used in gay sex
- Who is the hottest woman
They played the game and it was pretty close right up to the end. The Long Island Lillys managed to get the most points so they came out the winners. They won ladies watches and some concert tickets while the losers won some tickets to Net Aid and a CDnow $100 gift certificate. Moon and Brett plugged their band Brown Star before the end of the segment.
Rob Zombie Calls In. 10/8/99. 7:50am
Rocker Rob Zombie called in to talk to Howard this morning. He was supposed to plug this thing at Universal Studios called The Thrilling Chilling World Of Rob Zombie. It's some kind of haunted house type of thing. Rob told Howard he didn't really care about plugging it so they didn't spend much time on it. The call instead turned into a music review show. Howard got Rob's view on all of the bad bands that are out there today. Howard would bring up bands and singers like Ricky Martin, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilerra. Rob told Howard that it's just the same old bad music that it's always been. He said he saw Britney Spears appearance on Star Search and it seemed like she could sing then but now it's just a bad lip sync thing. Rob said that he like the Foo Fighters, Metallica and David Bowie. He thinks that Lenny Kravitz is trying too hard to be a rock star. Howard told Rob that MTV should give him a half hour show where he does a Siskel and Ebert type of show where he reviews new music. Rob said that he would have even less friends if he did something like that but then said that he really wouldn't care. Howard also played clips of the top five songs in the country which included Ricky Martin, some Mambo guy, TLC, Santanna and Mariah Carey. Howard asked Rob if he finds Mariah attractive. Rob didn't think so. That led to a quick discussion about how easy it is to digitally edit video these days. He said he knows a guy who edits video so rock stars can lose their love handles, fat bellies, acne and body hair. Before the end of the interview Howard asked Rob about his brother who has his own band Powerman 5000. Rob said he was almost involved in helping out the band but he backed out when he thought about it. He said if the band failed then he'd probably be blamed for it. Rob said he will be hosting the MTV Sports and Music Festival with his brother sometime in the near future. He also has an album of remixes called ''American Made Music To Strip By'' which comes out October 26.
Howard Gives Away Tickets. 10/8/99. 8:40am
Howard had tickets to give away to some WWF pay-per-view event in Cleveland, Ohio. A listener called in and asked if he could play a game to win the tix. Howard had KC come in with one of his dopey games for the guy. They decided to play the Crackhead Bob game. That's where Crackhead Bob tries to say a line and the listener has to try and guess what he said. The game turned out to be easier than it should have been because they had Bob read one word at a time and they spliced it together to make each sentence. Howard told him that he should just let Bob read the sentence and play it that way. So the guy won the tickets easily and was able to guess all 7 of the clips they played. The tickets were courtesy of PriceLine.com.
The Gossip Game With Guest Leslie West. 10/8/99. 9:00am
Rock guitarist and old friend of the show Leslie West came in to plug a bunch of stuff and to play the Mike Walker Gossip Game this morning. Howard got right to the gossip game because Mike had been waiting on the phone for quite a while. Each week Mike Walker calls in with four gossip stories. Three of the stories are from his National Enquirer gossip column. One of the stories is false. Everyone tries to pick out the false story. Here are this week's stories:
1. To avoid being beat up while in jail Robert Downey Jr. Has been giving acting classes to the other inmates.
2. Whoopi Goldberg found co-star Brenden Frasier's ass so nice that she started grabbing it. Brenden wasn't too thrilled with it and Whoopi asked her people to find out if he was gay. She soon found out that he's not gay, he's just not interested in her.
3. Heather Locklear and husband Ritchie Sambora have separate bedrooms in their New York apartment. Ritchie is such a slob that he has to keep his mess away from Heather. She's never set foot in his room.
4. Andrew Dice Clay Silverstein fell asleep while filming a scene with stars Matt Dillon and Liv Tyler where he plays dead. He started snoring while they were doing their lines.
Robin and Fred both picked number 3 as the false story. Gary picked number 4. Howard, Jackie and Leslie all picked number 1 as the false story. The actual false story was number 1. Robin's winning streak was finally broken.
After the game Howard spent some time talking to Leslie about his weight loss and all of the other things going on in his life. Each time he comes in Howard talks to him about his erections or lack there of. Leslie has to inject or take drugs to get an erection due to health problems. He said that he's sometimes able to get an erection on his own now. He has a new girlfriend to help him get there. She came in to talk to Howard for a little while. Leslie told Howard how he and Ronnie hooked up a long time ago and just got back together recently. He met her when she was only 16 and he was 28. Howard said she's still pretty hot looking. Howard played a clip of Leslie's new song off his album ''As Phat As It Gets'' which just came out recently. Leslie also plugged a web site called HitTheBeach.com and his restaurant Sala which is located at 344 Bowery in New York City. Leslie will be appearing at Tower Records at Broadway and 4th in New York City tonight at 5pm. He'll be performing and signing autographs.
