Howard started the show talking about the big storm that's hitting the east coast. Howard said that everyone left but he's there. Robin said he's the only one who can make it into work. Howard said they're off every day except the day everyone else is off. Howard said someone on Twitter pointed that out to him. Howard said everyone else is shut down but they're live. Howard said today they'll have over 100 million listeners.
Shuli was sitting in. Howard asked if his microphone was on because Scott didn't make it into work today. Howard said Shuli is joining them today. Howard said anyone can get in there if they want to. He said that the big storm is coming but it's not there yet. It's not even raining there yet. Robin said they say that the afternoon commute is what they're worried about.
Howard said he's predicting that nothing will happen and they'll downgrade it to high winds and rain. Robin said it is raining pretty hard in south Jersey. Howard said it's just rain. Robin said they're saying the rain was supposed to start Sunday but now they're saying the storm will get there around Midnight tonight. Howard said he was supposed to go to Robin's apartment yesterday but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to get there because of the storm.
Howard said he's very irritable again today. He said his thyroid might be sluggish and they want to give him some medication for that. Howard said he'd rather be sleepy though. He said that way he could get some sleep. Howard said all of the Stern family is known for sitting around and doing nothing. He said he could sit around and sleep like the rest of the family. He said his mom does that. Howard said they spend 90 percent of their time sleeping.
Howard said Robin has given good reviews to some crappy movies. He pointed those out to her and she's sticking to her reviews.
Howard said that was pretty funny. Howard had another audio clip from a baseball game where they screwed up the National Anthem. Howard played that clip and said it wasn't as bad as everyone was making it out to be. He said they were off key a bit. He said they blamed a bad microphone for the mix.
Howard asked Robin to sing with him so they could recreate that. They tried it and it did sound pretty bad. Robin mentioned that Demi Lovato had done the national Anthem and she sings like Jessica Simpson. That led to the guys talking about how Jessica Simspson's dad is gay now. They said that some guy came out and said that he was his gay lover or something and now they're saying that the father was with a 20 year old man.
Howard said that Meatloaf came out for Mitt Romney and he went berserk. Howard said he was trying to sing like the old days and it just didn't sound good. Howard played the audio of Meatloaf singing ''America the Beautiful'' and it was awful. Howard played some audio of that and said that the guy went berserk there.
Howard played some audio from the birthday party where they asked Jon to rap. In the clip Jon rapped about it being Ronnie's birthday. The rap wasn't all that great. Howard said the guy is on fire with that rapping.
Howard said Jon Leiberman made it into work today. He said the guy is super dedicated. Howard said he was sitting at his computer last night making arrangements about coming in. Howard said he got a text from Doug Goodstein about how all of In Demand is closed. Howard said he thinks that he's supposed to write to him and alleviate his guilt. Howard said Doug wants to be home running around with his family. Shuli said he left his family last night and got a room in the city. Howard said he had to make a decision for Doug. He said that the offices at In Demand don't matter to them. He said all Doug has to do is hit a record button.
Howard said he doesn't want anyone putting themselves in danger but if the weather isn't that bad then just come in. Shuli said they were calling it early and saying they weren't coming in. Howard said Tim asked if they were going to do the show and he said of course they are. Howard said Tim said he'd even get hotel rooms for people. Shuli said Tim got a room and he lives in the city.
Shuli said he saw Tim in line and Tim is so loud and obnoxious. He said he went to check in and Tim started yelling at this lady who cut in front of him.
Tim came in and said that he booked the room and used it so it wouldn't go to waste. He said that they don't do that for the In Demand people though. Howard asked if Doug is not there today. Tim said they are in media so they are there. Tim said this separates the men from the boys. Shuli said the real test comes later today. He said they're all risking getting stuck there. Howard said they're there doing the show and they're the only ones left.
Howard said he ate breakfast at home this morning because he heard everything was shut down. Howard said Gary ended up eating his breakfast because Will got it for him. He said that everyone was running out getting water and eggs and he has 3 eggs at home. He said he's so unprepared. Robin said someone should have gotten him some food.
Robin said they say that you should have one gallon of drinking water per day. She said you should have canned foods and first aid and flashlights. Howard said Beth did get flashlights. Robin said you should have a radio power by batteries. Howard said he'll just check his internet. He said he'd go insane if he didn't have TV. He said that they're in New York and they shouldn't lose power. Howard said he was thinking that they might lose it if they lose it upstate or something. Robin said the power stations are right there. Howard said he knows so little about that stuff. He said he has no idea where the power comes from.
Jason came in and said that they could lose power if the water gets to the underground power lines. Howard said he wants to know where the power comes from. Fred said it comes from thousands of miles away. Howard asked if they would lose power if New Jersey lost power. Fred said that the power comes from a few places so it might not affect it.
Howard said he thinks that they shut stuff down to prevent damage but there is no damage. Robin said she heard that the substations are also underground.
Gary said he lost power this summer for 2 and a half days because a squirrel went into a transformer. He said it's insane. Howard said that's like ducks that bring down planes. Howard said he meant geese. Robin said the substations that get flooded could cause problems.
Howard said they have like two boxes of spaghetti and they're planning on this thing just blowing over. Robin said that there are a bunch of things that they should have. Robin said that you should fill your tub with water. Howard said he doesn't want to do that. Gary said he took everything out of his yard yesterday. He said they have a trampoline and his wife was worried that it would blow away. Gary said if that thing blows away there's nothing they can do. Howard said they should take it down. He said it could end up going through the window. Howard said he learned from that TV show Revolution that the girls get hotter.
Gary said he expects to be without power for 7-10 days based on past storms. He said that the wires are all above ground and he guarantees that they'll lose power. Fred said Gary will probably get it back before his mother does.
Howard said they lose all of their guests today. He said Sour Shoes was supposed to come in. He won't be there. Tom Cotter was supposed to be there but he canceled. Russell Brand was supposed to come in tomorrow but he won't be in either. Howard said he was supposed to be on Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow but he's not sure if he'll make it. Howard said he went to dinner with Jimmy on Saturday night and he's bummed because this week of shows was scheduled for months. Howard said he told him to just calm the fuck down. Howard said Jimmy is all revved up about the shows. He said they moved the whole show to Brooklyn for a week and now he's in this storm. Howard said he didn't want to say anything to him but he might not make it. Gary and Robin said that they're saying that tomorrow is supposed to be the worst of everything. Gary said that's like prime time for the storm.
Howard said Jimmy is a dear friend and he doesn't want to die going to his show. Howard said he is happy to do the show under normal conditions but if it's crazy tomorrow then he may have to cancel. He said he feels bad for Jimmy but he doesn't know what to do.
Howard said he knows he's no with Tracy Morgan and someone else. He said that they have to wedge in a singer too. Gary said that's like the last 4 minutes of the show. Howard said he could have had 4 minutes more fun.
Howard said he's done Jimmy's show before but he'd like to be there live for the guy. Howard said he doesn't want to do it via satellite again though.
Howard said he would like to be there live but he can't imagine anyone is going to risk their lives to get there.
Debbie the Pet Lady called in and said that Howard shouldn't be there. She said there's a storm coming and ''Sarah'' is coming. Howard said he was able to get there in his car. He said that there's nothing that bad happening yet. Debbie said that the winds are so bad out there. She said her pool isn't even taken down yet. She said that she can't take a train or something. Howard said that the weather people make people panic over this stuff. He said she's all worked up and there's nothing even going on. Robin said she'd make a great weather lady. Howard said he thinks that she would.
Howard said they're going to have a weather show on today and High Pitch Eric is going to do a show. Howard had some audio of Eric doing a weather report on his Facebook page. Howard played the clip and Eric was talking about the storm and where it was going to be. He called himself a meteorologist. Howard said you can't just call yourself a meteorologist. Howard said they have that weather special coming up with John Bolaris and High Pitch Eric today.
Gary said that Richard called him this morning to tell him that the police came to his apartment and told hi he had to leave. He said they ignored the police and this morning they weren't running the elevators. Gary said Richard didn't leave because he didn't want to leave the pets behind. They have a fish and a hamster. Gary said that they should be able to leave those things alone for a week.
Howard said that he could have had a hotel room. He said he could have gone to the hotel and been there. Gary said that they were afraid of not being able to get back into their apartment.
Howard asked Debbie if she wanted to give the weather report. Debbie was busy doing something else. Howard tried to get her attention but she was yelling at someone else. There was a weird noise coming through on the phone and Howard wasn't sure what it was. Howard kept calling her name and wondered what she was doing. Shuli said that he thinks that she tried to hang up and she didn't hang up all the way. The guys could hear a bunch of pet noises in the background. They figured Debbie just forgot that she was talking to them. Howard said he's going to hang up.
Howard said Tim called him yesterday about the show and he told him that he didn't want to talk to the engineering department. He said Tim wanted him to talk about the contingency plan they had. Howard said he told him to just talk to Laura when they do that. Howard said Tim told him to do the show through his ISDN line if there's a complete disaster. Howard said he probably wouldn't have power if it was a complete disaster. Howard said he wouldn't be able to do the show that way. Howard said he told Tim that if it was nice enough out he'd be at work. He said that he tried to get to work and that's that. He said he shouldn't be bothering him at home like that.
Tim said that the conference call was going to be with Gary. Howard said that they should just assume that he's going to be at work. If he's not then he'll give them a call. Howard said if it's the apocalypse he won't have power like everyone else. Howard said Richard Christy is a fucking retard. He said he likes that Tim cares but he has to leave him alone about that stuff.
Howard said he's worried about Tim. He said first he shit all over the bathroom and then he broke his ribs. Howard said he's going through an old age crisis.
Shuli said he went out to dinner with Tim and you should have seen what he ate. He said he had matzo ball soup and then a huge sandwich. Tim came in and said he had just a little bit of the soup. He said he had the sandwich and a little bit of cheesecake. Shuli said Tim was telling the hotel guy that he was his life partner. He said they wanted to put him in a single bed in the hotel room. Tim was busy on his phone and not paying attention to the guy.
Howard explained what Tim's contingency plans were. He said he had the position of using the ISDN line or canceling this week and work Thanksgiving week. Howard said he laughed at that one. Howard said a real option is to just not do the show. He said that could have happened. Howard said that anyone who didn't need to be there didn't have to come in. Gary said he did goof on those people though. Howard said he told everyone that they don't have to come in if they don't have to. Howard said that Richard is retarded because of the reasons he didn't leave his building. Howard said he's retarded so how can he not goof on him.
Gary said that the hotel they're booked at is a pet friendly hotel so they would probably take fish and gerbils. Howard said he has to take a break. They went to break a short time later.

Howard came back and asked Fred what song he was playing. Fred told him what it was and Howard said that's her performance from their studio. Howard let the song play for a minute.
Howard had Lisa G come in with her news preview. Howard said that he shot her for her book cover last week. He asked Lisa not to put his name all over the book when it comes out. She said that won't happen. Howard said that he had some good shots of Lisa and she has a big rack. Howard said that he told her she doesn't have to use the pictures but he thinks they look good. Howard said she was wearing a bra top and an open shirt and she has big fucking cans. Shuli told him to get out of there. He said she has to be at least a legitimate C. Howard said maybe it really is a D. Howard said there is tittie when she rips off her top.
Howard said he would love to show them just one picture. Lisa didn't want him to spoil it. Lisa said that Howard is so great as a photographer. She said that he was being very funny telling her to blow her cookies when he was doing the shoot. Howard said her book is called Sex Lies and Cookies. Howard said that she has to be sexual for the book if that's the name of it.
Howard brought up the pictures and asked which one he should show. Lisa told him to show the one with the little cookie in it. Howard said that it will take a second to bring it up. He said he's tapping into his computer.
Shuli asked if they heard that Gary was bothered by the whole thing. Howard said he did. He said Lisa knew too.
Howard brought up the shot and Shuli said that was unreal. He said that it looked like a completely different person. Howard said that he told her she should dress like that for work and she'd end up getting married. Lisa said they're real too. Shuli said that he was impressed. He wondered how she was hiding them.
Lisa said that Howard told her to get the boobs out when he was shooting her. Howard said that she told him she had a bad back and wasn't able to arch her back. He told her that he wanted to do some make up on her and play around with that. Howard said she told him her eyes were very sensitive. Howard said he didn't end up doing that. He said she wanted to do a lot more but she was worried about her sensitive skin. He said she complained through the whole thing.
Howard said he wanted to tie a scarf around her neck and she was saying she felt like it was too tight and she was being choked. Howard said it was unbelievable. He said he got worn out from her. Shuli said now he has a taste of what they go through in the news room. He said she'll gasp like something horrible is happening and then she'll say ''This non-fat yogurt has fat in it.'' Howard said she's more neurotic than he is. Lisa said she had fun. Howard said he's pleased with the photos. He wanted to show Shuli another one but Lisa wasn't happy. She eventually said okay to it.
Howard said that he put Lisa in a red wig at one point. Howard showed Shuli that one too. Shuli sounded impressed. Howard said he nailed that one. Lisa said that it was unbelievable. Shuli said if you told him 7 years ago that there would be a picture of Lisa he'd beat off to he would have said they were nuts. He said that's beat off material.
Howard said Lisa had about 10 outfits, the wig and more. Shuli said that he can't stop thinking about those tits. He said that's all he can think about now that he's seen them. Howard said that Lisa was talking about keeping bras that she bought and he thought she was out of her mind. Lisa said that the way they make lingerie is amazing. Howard showed Shuli a bunch of the shots. Howard kept going and Shuli kept saying ''Wow!'' and ''Holy crap!'' when he'd see them.
Lisa asked if Ronnie would make her Hot Chick of the Week. Howard said he'll show Ronnie and ask him. Howard showed him the pictures and Ronnie said ''Holy shit!'' Howard said that he was shocked too. He said she's all turned on in some of these shots. Howard showed Ronnie some of the pictures. Howard had to tell Jason to not take a picture.
Lisa said she wants to be Hot Chick of the Week next year when her book comes out. Ronnie said this is impossible. He said that she has cleavage. Shuli asked if he ever thought that was under what she wears. Ronnie said ''Hell no.'' Ronnie asked if anyone is biting on those things. Lisa let out a ''Oh my god!'' She said she thinks that she's doing fine with those things at her age. Howard said she has the chest of a 20 year old. Howard said he didn't have to change anything for her. Howard said they were in a bra the while time but still.
Lisa said they used to be bigger when she wasn't as athletic as she is now. Howard said she is neurotic though. He said she was going nuts over her eyes and all of that.
Howard asked Lisa what's in the news. Lisa said they have a special hurricane special today. She said that they will have Jon Leiberman, John Bolaris and more people like High Pitch Eric, Medicated Pete and Bobo. She said that Medicated Pete has been evacuated from his bungalow at the Jersey Shore. Howard said he saw the Howard TV special about Pete and you have to see it. He said that should be going up there soon. Howard said it's unbelievable where he lives. He said it's behind a bar and it's a place you've never seen before. Howard said he lives with his dad Pete Sr. and it's just wild. Howard said Kathy Tobin works at the library he goes to and it's just crazy stuff. He said it's a very hard hitting special.
Lisa said that Bobo has talked about protecting his shrine. She said that Richard Christy is afraid that his favorite holiday is going to be ruined because of the storm. Howard said Ronnie isn't wearing a suit today because of the storm. He said casual Ron showed up today. Howard said nothing has happened and he's running around in his jeans. Howard said he was wondering why today he's not in a suit. He said everything is topsy turvy.
Ronnie came in and asked why he would get dressed up if it's going to pour later. He said he's not ''rock and roll'' today. He said he has a nice shirt and jeans on. Howard pointed out his ripped jeans. He had his walkie talkie tucked into his back pocket. Ronnie said it's always there but you don't see it because his jacket covers it. He said that Leiberman is out there wearing his mom jeans. Howard said Ronnie is doing the same thing. Ronnie said he's got Timberlands on and Leiberman had some other funny looking things on.
Ronnie's walkie talkie went off so Howard had him talk to the guys. He did that for a second and then Jon Leiberman came in. Ronnie said that his grandmother used to wear boots like Jon has on. Jon said they're called Duck Shoes and his jeans are Express jeans. Shuli said that he thought Express was a store for fat chicks. Howard said Ronnie has a Yosemite Sam moustache but he's laughing at Jon. Jon said he doesn't know what's so funny. He said that his belly isn't hanging over. He said Jason called him fat the other day and he's just going to call him slim all the time.
Howard asked Jon why Lisa can't talk about her photo shoot. Jon said she never talks about her boobs but when they do she just takes it. Ronnie was laughing hysterically at the whole thing. Jon said he was saying that she should take off her top in the studio to prove her size once and for all. Howard said he saw them and photographed them. He swears it was her. Jon said he would like to see a picture. He said he wanted the facts. Howard told him to hold on. He called him over to show him off camera. Jon saw the picture and said it looked like a glamour shot. Howard said it is. He said he did a sideways clamshell lightning set up. Jon said she looked beautiful in that picture. He said he stands corrected. Howard said they are not retouched boobs.
Jon said he wants to know if those sex stories are real. Howard said Lisa was trying to tell him about her book but he told her to shut up and pose. He said she thinks he cares what's in her book. Jon said this is what they deal with for 10 hours a day in the news room. Howard said he had her just quiet down so he could do the shoot. He said she complied. Howard said that she looked very good too. Ronnie said that Leiberman is obsessed with Lisa.
Dave said he wants to give Sarah Silverman a call and gnaw on her beaver like a dog on a rawhide shoe. Howard asked Dave how he says ''gnaw'' and Dave didn't know how to say it. He didn't say it right the first time he read his line. Howard said Dave can't read.
Howard asked Dave what he's going to do if the weather is bad on Wednesday. Dave kept changing subjects and saying things about Jimmy. Jon Leiberman said this is when they need power outages. Dave kept screwing up his lines so they were goofing on him about that.
Howard asked Dave if he had his glasses on. Dave said it must be the storm. Howard asked Robin if she had anything to add. Robin said she's afraid.
Dave said that he's going on Jimmy's show because he has no life since he stopped fucking his interns. Howard said that he knows Jimmy loves him. Dave screwed up another line. Howard said it might be time to go. Howard said he knows Jimmy wants to be like Dave. Dave said he heard that Jimmy was trying to hammer a gap in his teeth to be just like him.
Dave said when he goes on Jimmy's show he's going to ask him about John Ritter. He said he loves watching queers cry on TV. Dave said he will also ask him what Dave ''Etters'' cum tastes like. Howard said that's Dave Attell. Howard asked if he ever thought about reading the script first. Dave said maybe he should take a break. Howard said that's a good idea. He went to break a short time later.
Howard said Shuli has a blog coming up soon too. He said that he writes about the way he used to call into the show and his love of the show. Howard said that you realize that Shuli is like Bobo but with a little bit higher IQ.
Shuli told Howard his mother heard him talking to Dr. Ruth in Hebrew. He asked her what she thought and she said that Ruth is a disgusting person. He said he's not sure what her problem is with her.
Howard said that Evil Dave is back. He said they were talking to Dave about Jimmy Kimmel earlier. He said that he wants to know what the contingency plan is if he has to bail out on the show. Howard asked Robin what she thinks. Robin said she doesn't think that Jimmy is planning on not taping shows. Howard said he doesn't know what's going on.
Evil Dave said that he found that when you bang one intern in the driveway then your whole world goes to shit. Howard said Dave is much more outspoken on this show than he is on any other show. He said he should talk like this on Kimmel.
Dave told Howard he's going out on Halloween as a gay vampire. He's going to George Clooney's party for Halloween. Dave said he's going to bite his balls and suck his penis.
Dave and Howard talked about Paul Shaffer's retirement and things like that. Dave had a bunch of lines written for him and he was getting through them a little bit better now. Dave said he wants to change his name to Kennedy so he can push women down the steps and drown them. The only downside is that you get shot once in a while.
Howard and Dave talked about Obama and the Kardashians. Dave was starting to get some of his lines wrong again. Dave was in the room with Abe Kanan who said that Dave has been eating a lot of free food there. He said that he was asking the whole ride there if he had the free chips. He said he keeps taking them and putting them in his pockets. Abe told him to open up his bag so they could see how many he had. He said there were like 7 bags. Dave said that he'll give them out to the trick or treaters.
Howard asked Dave about his sex scandal and how he's doing with that. Dave said he's hanging in there. He said he thinks it's fine that he wears a condom. He said if he needs any he has a ton in his fuck room. Abe told Howard that he and Dave went over his lines before the show and he was fine. Howard said he blames Abe for all of this.
Dave said he thinks that Will Murray should dress up like the invisible man so we can all pretend he doesn't exist just like Howard.
Abe told Howard that he had to pick up Dave in front of a Jiffy Lube. He said he won't let him know where he lives. He said he won't even give him his number. He said you have to call an 800 number and they take your number asking who you're trying to call.
Howard had Dave try another line. Dave read his line but he screwed it up so Howard said he has to go. Howard wished Abe luck getting him home. He told Dave to leave some of those chips there. Dave blamed his line screw up on a misprint.
Dave asked Howard if he's ever had an insect climb up his erect penis. He said it's a thrill. He said that he also decorated his fuck room with his own semen so it has an eerie glow to it. Dave also said that he's going to go as the office wall that Tim Sabean shit on as a Halloween costume. Howard said that sounds great. He let Dave go a short time later. Howard said that he loves this guy Abe. Abe is on Saturday evenings on Howard 101.
Dave had a few more lines he read. Howard said Dave is coming out and endorsing Obama this morning. Dave said he is. He had some lines about that and asked Robin some questions. Dave had some lines written about Sour Shoes too but Howard told him that he didn't make it in so those lines weren't working. Then he said something about a ''broukay monsoon'' and Abe said he's actually trying to say ''Bukakke.'' Abe said they went over the lines like 100 times and he still got it wrong.
Howard asked Dave if he had anymore to day. Dave said that if he ever has Arnold on the show again he should be careful. Howard wrapped up with him and gave Dave some plugs for his late night show. Dave read another line that was one of his own and Abe told Howard he told him not to read those lines. Dave had written something that he wasn't even able to pronounce. Howard said that he's glad he braved the storm to come in for this. Howard thanked Abe for the help. Howard said that's worse than when Shuli used to have to carry Beetlejuice around to the shows.
Shuli said that he used to have to talk Beet out of wanting to walk home from shows in Texas. Shuli said Beet would go into a room and touch things and he'd have to keep a list of things not to touch. He said Beet was great when he was sober but when he was drunk he would do some crazy things. He said Beet would take showers so long that you'd think the bathroom was on fire from the steam coming out. He said if Beet showered he wouldn't shower himself. He said he would get loaded and get mad at everyone and he'd have to sleep in the same room with the guy.
Shuli said Beet would get violent and he didn't want to fight the guy so he would let him roam. He said he'd stay with him and not let him be alone. He said one day Beet came back one day after going out alone and he had a tattoo of Howard on his arm. He said people would sell him things that he didn't need. He said Beet was sold a phone once. He said he went out to buy a pair of shoes once and the guy sold him socks and spray to keep his feet smelling good.
Howard said last week a cop was accused of wanting to kill and eat some women. Howard said he's not surprised that New York cops want to eat us. He said that if cops would just go after bad guys and do that he'd be all for it. Howard said the idea of hurting innocent people is what bothers him. He said that they want to eat us because all we do is complain about them. Howard said this guy was married for about a year and his wife goes on his computer and finds that he has a bunch of guys that he talks to about cooking women. Howard said the story goes that this wife saw the discussion going on about the women this guy has targeted and he's talking about how good the meat is going to be. He said the whole plot is so weird. He said that he wants to shove them in an oven alive and hear them screaming as he cooks them. Howard said they'd be alive when he cooks them.
Shuli said the guy said that he would get off on knocking them out while the other guy fucks them. Howard wondered what's going to stop the guy from saying he was just writing a book or something. Robin said that's what the Pete Townshend excuse was. Howard said he can't wait to read his book. He said the excerpt he read was pretty good.
Gary wondered why he shouldn't be home to take care of the flooding. Howard said he doesn't understand why he wouldn't just bring his wife and kid to the city. Gary said that he wants to be there if it starts flooding or a tree falls on it. Howard said he's going to make every effort to get there. Howard asked who else is going to be there if he gets there. Robin said she thinks Gary should be there. Gary said he doesn't have a staff to watch his house like Howard and Robin do. Gary said it's rude for Robin to say that he should just leave the house.
Gary and Howard argued about the way Howard said that he can't depend on Gary. Howard said that he wants to know if he can depend on him being there tomorrow. Gary said that he can't. He said he thought that he was saying he can't depend on him... period. Howard said he was asking about tomorrow. He asked Gary what he's going to do. Gary said he's going to be with his family at his house. He said he's not leaving his house. He said he wants to be in his house with his family. Robin asked if he ever leaves his house unattended. Gary said he does but not during a storm. Gary said that they're saying that they could have people without power for up to two weeks when this storm goes through.
Howard said Gary should have just said he can't be depended upon tomorrow. Howard asked who he can depend on being there. Shuli said yes to him when asked. Howard asked if he's going to be attending to his home. Shuli said that his wife will be taking care of the home. Gary asked if he's in an apartment. Howard asked why he's attacking him when he says he wants to work. Gary said he's going to leave. Howard asked Shuli if he will be there. Shuli said nothing will stop him from being there.
Fred said he will be there tomorrow. He said he doesn't have the problem that Gary has. Howard asked Benjy if he'll be there. Benjy said he will. Howard said Robin will be able to broadcast too. Howard said he can't depend on Gary but Fred, Benjy and Shuli will be there. Howard said Gary looks like he's about to cry. Gary said he's fine.
Howard said Gary is like a maniac. He said he needs to know who is going to be there. Gary said he wants to make it sound like he doesn't care about his job. Gary said he cares more about his wife and kids than he does about his job. Howard said Gary doesn't have to go that far. He said he just wanted to know if he was going to be there tomorrow. Howard said he has to plan for tomorrow. He said Doug isn't there today. Gary said Gange is directing the show today. Howard said he's not sure why they have all of these other people there then. He said they seem to be handling it just fine.
Howard and Gary kept arguing about the way he asked the question about depending on him being there. Gary said he could have asked if he was going to be there. Howard said he could have just said no and left. He said he stands there arguing instead. Howard said he looks like a buffoon when he does. Gary said he doesn't think so.
Howard asked Gary if he had any trouble getting in there today. Gary said he didn't. He said he has to get up and make the decision based on the weather.
Howard asked Tim if he's going to be there tomorrow. Tim said he will be and if Gary isn't there then they'll make due. Tim said that he will be there. Howard said that's all he wanted to know. He said it's not an attack.
Gary said that he has told Jon Leiberman about the microphones that they use in there and how he has to use them. Earlier in the show Jon had put the headphones on backwards.
Howard asked Jason if he can depend on him to be there tomorrow. Jason said his answer is the same as Gary's answer. Howard took that as a no. Howard asked Jason if he's in a bad area. Gary said that he's in a mandatory evacuation area but they aren't listening to the evacuation warning.
Howard asked Will if he will be there tomorrow. Howard said Gary is all upset about this. He said he knows JD will be there. Will came in and said if he needs them to be there then he'll be there. He said his wife and child are his priority. He said he will be there if he needs him. Howard said everyone has to make their own decision. He said if they feel threatened by the storm then they don't have to come in. Will said that he has to say no then. He said that he didn't say he won't be there but he can't say he will definitely be there.
Gary asked Howard if he would leave Beth at the house at the shore alone. Howard said Beth is with him. He said he brought her there. Gary said he doesn't have the choices that Howard has. Howard said he doesn't know why he's attacking him. He said he's not angry with him. He said he just asked if he can depend on him to be there. He said all he had to do was say no. Howard said he wrote on Moldred last night that he will carry on.
Gary said Howard has made fun of the people who didn't come in today. Howard said it looks a little weird to him that they didn't even try to come in when there is nothing keeping them from trying. Howard said that the weather hasn't even gotten there yet. Gary said that they were afraid that they might get stuck in the city.
Howard said this whole thing is weird to him because they didn't get the weather that they thought they were going to get. Howard said that he told Robin that they should just get up in the morning and see what happens. He said John Bolaris is scaring the shit out of his wife. He said he wants him to forget his wife's number. Howard said he told him to stop it but he keeps going. He said he heard that Jon is there so he wants him to come in so he can boot him out. Howard said these guys are making people paranoid. He said they do all of this to get ratings.
Gary asked John why he texts Beth and not everyone else. John said that he doesn't have Gary's number. Howard said he doesn't know why he has Beth's number.
Howard asked John what's going to happen. John said it's what they call ''The perfect storm.'' He said it's a bunch of rare atmospheric conditions that are going to combine. He said the winds will ramp up today and they will be gusting at 70-75 MPH. He said that southern Manhattan will flood out. He said that the FDR Drive will be under 4-6 feet of water by tonight. John said they are evacuating and they haven't seen anything like this since 1992. He said that nothing like this has ever been predicted either. Howard said he thinks that the predictions are too much and they're making too much out of it. He said if they're right he'll have to deal with it and texting his wife isn't going to help. John said that they're going to have record setting flooding. He said that they'll have tidal surges.
Robin asked if they're okay to broadcast. John said that they may lose power but if they don't they'll be fine. He said that there are places that could lose power and Manhattan may have scattered outages. Howard said if he was the mayor he'd build something to make power right there in the city.
John said that this could go down as the worst storm on the east coast. He said that south of Canal could be shut down and they could have problems with the subways. Howard said he's coming to work tomorrow. John said that Howard will be fine because he's in a safe zone. He said there are people who won't be in a safe zone. Howard said America will be happy as long as they can do a show. Howard said his listeners only care about him.
Howard said he heard John has a hot girlfriend. John said she is sweet. Shuli said that she was at the block party. John said he brought her with him so she wouldn't have to be alone. Howard saw her and said that she was hot. Howard asked how he got her. John said she's a sweetheart. He said that she's 20 years younger than him. Howard said he always has a hot girlfriend. John said he likes beautiful women. He said she's got a beautiful soul too. He said that marriage could be in the future. She works in sales. Howard asked what she sells. She said it's tile and natural stone. Howard said he needs some of that. Gary said he's pretty sure he needs that for his house.
Howard asked how John met this girl. She said they met through mutual friends. John said he had a dinner party at his apartment and they were both dating someone else. He said they felt a connection and they started dating.
Howard asked what her name is. She said it's Erica. Howard told John to propose now. They played some wedding music and John started talking about how they could see marriage in the future. John asked Erica if she would marry him. She said she would. They kissed after that. Gary said this would be in the paper tomorrow if there wasn't a storm. Shuli said that High Pitch Eric is going to be so jealous.
Howard congratulated John and Erica. Howard said that he's a great weather man. John is the real deal. John said he got his training while he was in the air force. He said he has flown into the eye of storms. He said in 1987 he broadcast live from a C-130. Howard said that Erica was just proposed to. He said that she must want to set a date. Erica said she didn't want to do that right now.
Howard said he can't depend on Gary tomorrow. He said that John Bolaris will be doing two shows on Howard 101 starting at 4pm. Gary came in and said that he just wants to say that this isn't an easy decision to make for him. Howard asked how they got back on this. Howard said he's just talking to the people who are going to be there tomorrow. Howard said Gary keeps interrupting.
Gary said he's not saying he won't be there. Howard said it would be funny if Gary showed up tomorrow and he didn't. Gary said that happened one year when they had a snow storm. He said he was the one who made it in and ran the Best of Tapes. Howard said now that Gary is gone they can talk about doing the show.
Howard said he made reference to the scientists in Italy who were jailed for not predicting an earthquake. Howard said that they're all shaking in their boots there now.
Howard said he's still not sure what will happen with Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow. Howard said that he will just say no if he's asked if they can depend on him being there. Howard said he doesn't have to go into a huge explanation like Gary did. Howard said that all of the anger came pouring out of Gary when he brought it up. He said Jimmy isn't mad at him for saying he may not be there.
Gary was going off on Shuli for missing a bunch of days and almost getting fired. Shuli said that Gary is still on the attack. He said he doesn't know why he's attacking him.
Howard said that he was out with Jimmy on Saturday night and Jimmy was wondering what he had prepared for her show. Howard said he figured he'd just go on and have a conversation. Howard said he had nothing prepared. He said he doesn't know what he's expecting. Howard said he wants to go on the show but he's not sure what this storm is going to do. Howard said all of his guests canceled.
Howard said he's afraid to ask JD about what he should do on Jimmy's show. Howard said he had a weird idea for him to do a bit. He said it was something about scaring someone in a closet or something. JD came in and said that it was based off a bit where Ellen scares her guests. He said that Dave could have done that bit with Howard. Howard said that's such a weird suggestion. He said that's not what they do on Dave's show. JD said it was just a comedy bit that he wrote and it wasn't supposed to actually happen. Howard asked JD if he can depend on him being there tomorrow. JD said he can't get home so he'll be there. Howard said JD lives in the evacuation zone 365 days a year.
Howard said he read that Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to be in another Conan movie. He read that Sandy could cause tens of dollars worth of damage to his shrine. He heard that he left a message for Gary and he's stockpiling hair glue and toilet paper.
Howard asked Ronnie if he's going to be there tomorrow. Ronnie said if he can get into the city he will. He said he's not staying in the city. Howard told Ronnie to spend a night in the hotel. Ronnie said he has dogs there. Howard said he should stay in the city. Howard told him to find someone who lives in the city who can get him to work. Shuli said that he'll pick Howard up as well. Howard told Ronnie to find someone. Ronnie said he has to work on it and find someone. Howard said Ronnie wouldn't have worked on it if he hadn't told him to. Ronnie said that he would have. Shuli said Ronnie is dressed like Buddy Lee. Ronnie had no idea who that was. Shuli said that's a character on TV that sells jeans.
Howard said JD had some other ideas for him to do on Letterman. He said he had him doing fantasy football picks. JD said that he knew Howard wouldn't know what it is but it could have been funny. Howard said that's thinking way outside the box. JD said he had an idea and he put it out there. Howard thanked him for that. He said that's all of the help he gets.
Gary said he's not ready to go home. He said he can be depended upon to finish the show today. He said he's no KC. Howard said he thinks he should go home now because it could get bad rapidly. Gary said that John Bolaris thinks the worst is coming today at 2. Howard said he should hurry home now. Fred kept playing a car peeling out clip like Gary was rushing out of there.
Howard took a call from a guy who said he lives two towns away from him and things aren't bad at all. He asked if he's talked to his parents yet. Howard said he did. He said that he called his mom on his cell phone and she couldn't hear him. Howard said he asked how she's doing and she said that she's fine. Howard said there's really nothing he can do if something happens to their house. Shuli said Gary has web cameras on his house at all times so he could be watching the place all the time.
Gary came in and said that he's back. He said he threw the asshole hook in the water and he bit. He said he wasn't going to bite but he did. Howard said if he's going home he should go now. Howard said he's just trying to figure out what he's doing tomorrow.
Howard had to let the caller go because he couldn't understand what he was saying. Howard took another call from a guy who thanked him for making it out all the time. He said Howard was there on 9/11 an 9/12. He said that he's not sure why Gary can't make it in tomorrow. He said that he should get his wife and kids and go to the hotel. Howard said maybe they should cut down their trees now. Gary said that the other thing that could happen is that the gutters get stopped up with leaves. Howard told him to get those things that cover the gutters. Gary said they don't work. Howard said they do work because he has them on his house.
Howard said he's in a meeting with Shuli, Fred, Benjy and Robin. He told Gary to get out of there. The caller said he will be at Kimmel tomorrow if Howard is there. Howard said you can't depend on him to be there. Howard said they should go to break so they can get out of there at 10. He said that he's worried about Gary getting home. Howard and the guys goofed on Gary some more about Gary heading home to save the wife and kids. They were making it like the movie ''Titanic'' with the music and story. they were all goofing on Gary about his teeth being used as flotation devices.
Howard said Gary just started yelling at him instead of just saying no when he asked if he could depend on him. He said all he had to do was say no. Howard said he guesses that Shuli and Fred have a staff to take care of their stuff like he and Robin do. Howard and the guys kept goofing on Gary about all of that. They were making up lyrics for the Titanic theme song.
Gary said that DePace just called and said he wanted it to be known that he was ordered to stay home. Howard said that's Doug Goodstein. Howard said he told him that the offices were closed but that has nothing to do with their show. Howard said Doug isn't there and nothing is going on with the weather. Howard wondered why Doug would tell Scott not to come in. Howard said Scott is useless anyway because Gange is there doing his job. Gange said he's missed a couple of shots but he's holding it in. He said his camera guy with a broken hand is there. He said he thinks that the executives are the ones who didn't want them coming in today. Gary said he heard that the lawyer's rap was that they didn't want someone hurt coming into work. Howard said that's what he told their guys. He said he will be there and the rest of them don't have to be there. Howard said they're going to take a break, do the news and get out of there.
Howard came back and said that Gary is all rattled. He said he's not sure why. He said he's his biggest supporter. Howard said Gary is really rocked. He said he asked for a list from him and he's really out of it.
Howard said it's time for news. He said that today is a big day for news. Howard said that last week Lisa G got a hold of Regis Philbin to ask about presenting an award to Gary soon. He said that Regis isn't that familiar with Gary so Lisa told him some things about him and she was giving him the worst things about him. She told Regis about Gary's Baba Booey screw up, his big teeth, how he looks like a monkey and things like that. Gary said now Regis thinks that he's an asshole. Howard asked Gary if he said anything to her. Gary said he didn't. He said that's just part of being there. Howard did his Lisa G voice and added that Gary isn't dependable either. Howard also brought up the trampoline that Gary has in his back yard and wondered why he wouldn't remove that. Howard said that thing is going to be flying around if he doesn't do something about it.
Robin started her news with a story about Gary Glitter getting into some trouble again. Robin said that he went to jail for child molestation in another country and now he's out of jail and might be drawn into another scandal in England. Howard had Gary Glitter's song playing in the background with some hurricane wind sounds. Robin said that he's accused of abusing a girl in England and he was questioned and released in London. Robin said this was back in the 70s that he allegedly did this.
Howard said in the email someone asked if there is any TV show that Robin doesn't watch. Robin said she's watching just about everything.
Howard said that he got an email from someone saying that he has to stop saying ''the n-word'' and just use the word. Howard said that the person said he's a fag for not using that word. He said he's not comfortable saying the word all the time. He said he might use it when he's talking about someone who named their dog ''Nigger'' but he won't use it all the time. Howard said this guy says that the crew working on the Hoover dam had a dog named Nigger and they put up a plaque when the dog died. Howard said they eventually removed the plaque and renamed the dog ''Little Nig.'' Howard said he's kind of glad that the rewrote history. Howard said he doesn't think there should be a plaque that says ''Nigger'' on it. Robin said she doesn't like the changes.
Howard said that a lot of people liked Katy Sagal on the show last week. Someone thought she had the same tone as Robin does.
Howard said a lot of people liked the fart porn that they played last week. Howard read through that and also some email about the Howard Stern musical. Howard said they're working on more numbers for the musical and they're not just fucking around. He said they're really going to do a Broadway show. He said he has another one where Tim shits all over the bathroom and starts singing. Howard played that song and he was singing about the shit on the walls to the tune of ''Tomorrow'' from the play Annie. Howard said his parents have a part in the play too. He played that song and it was to the tune of ''Gangnam Style'' with clips of his mom and dad in the song. Howard said this song is called ''Howard's Nightmare.'' Howard read a live commercial and then went to break.
After the break, around 9:35am, Robin got back to her news and read a story about Paul McCartney coming out to defend Yoko Ono saying that she did not break up the Beatles. Robin said he did an interview with David Frost and in that interview Paul said that she didn't break them up. Robin said that Lennon was going to leave the group one way or another. Robin said that Paul does say that Yoko sitting in on recording sessions was difficult though.
Robin read about Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, possibly getting her money earlier than she was supposed to. She said that she's going to get about $20 million. Robin said she missed the first episode of her show. Howard said he TiVo'd it but then just deleted it without watching. He really didn't care. Robin asked if he tuned into Honey Boo Boo. Howard said he hasn't seen the show yet but it seems like child abuse to him. Robin said the whole family dynamic is fascinating. Howard said he said it was like child abuse and they had a newscast where the reporters were arguing with each other over it. Howard could hear Robin's cats meowing so he asked what was wrong with them. Robin said they're outside of the room and someone must be out there bothering them.
Gary told Howard that the power has been out at his house since 6:15 this morning. Howard said he should go home now. Gary said that he should be able to get out of there by 11:15 so he'll be fine.
Howard said this one woman was saying that she agrees with him on the Honey Boo Boo thing. Howard said he was the one who oiled the hill for all of this stuff to happen though. Howard said he was attacked for that. Shuli said Howard never exploited kids though. Howard said that's true. Howard played the audio of this woman talking about what he said and how she agrees with him but he's the one who brought the oil to the slippery slope that we're going down. Howard said he hasn't seen the show but he did see Honey Boo Boo on Dr. Phil or one of those shows. Robin said the show is probably one of the worst things she's ever seen. Howard said he was talking to a friend who is a big fan of the show and she feels that the family is very loving. He said that was her point of view. Robin said the only way you can enjoy the show is if you want to feel better about who you are. She said you're in bad shape if you feel that you have to do that. Howard read another live commercial after that.
Robin read a story about a couple who lost their children to a nanny who killed them and then tried to kill herself. Howard said he read that on the same page as the cop who wanted to eat people. Howard said that's some scene. Robin said the Nanny has finally woken up and they had to wait for that before they could question her. Robin said that she stabbed herself in the throat. Robin said no charges have been filed yet but she must have been the one who killed the kids and then tried to kill herself. Robin said they say that she loved the kids and this was very unlike her. Howard said we don't have strict enough laws with mentally ill people. Robin said she had a child of her own and the 10 year old can't believe his mother did this. Howard said that a rational person who can't stand taking care of kids wouldn't go into that line of work. Howard said there's no telling what was going through her head. Howard said that she'll end up spending the rest of her life in a nice hospital room. Howard said she won't go to jail. Howard read another live commercial after that.
Robin read a story about the evacuations going on up and down the east coast. Robin said that many businesses are closed down today too.

Howard said that High Pitch Eric will be part of the weather show they have coming up today. Howard had him on the line too. Eric said he'll be reporting from the Bronx and Bobo will be calling in and so will Mariann.
Eric asked Howard if he's doing Kimmel tomorrow. Howard said he wants to do the show but if the storm is bad he may not be able to make it. He said if the storm is as crazy as they say it's going to be he may not be able to make it. He said he will make every effort to make it though. Eric said all of his fans will be there. Howard said they don't know that they're going to be there. Howard said they can't depend on Gary to be there tomorrow so we're not sure about anyone else.
Robin read more about this storm and Howard asked if he'd even be able to get to Brooklyn tomorrow. Robin said they could close down the bridges. Howard said he's sure no restaurant is going to be open tonight and he's supposed to go out to dinner with his old high school friend Marty. Howard said he'll call him and let him know. Howard said he lives in Arizona so he's not sure if he'll be able to go out with him. Howard read another live commercial after that.
Robin read more about the hurricane and how President Obama is rearranging his schedule to get back before the storm hit. Robin said he's just like Gary. That led to Gary, Fred and Shuli all doing their Gary impressions. Robin had some Mitt Romney audio clips to play too.
Robin read about John Voight showing up to help the Mitt Romney campaign take calls. Robin had some audio of Voight talking about why he's backing Romney. Robin said Kelsey Grammer and John Ratzenberger were also helping out the campaign. Robin had some audio of Magic Johnson talking about why he's backing Romney. She had some audio of Stevie Wonder's new song he released for Romney. Howard said it makes him angry when he puts out new songs. Howard said the song is too literal. Howard wondered where Jay Thomas is in all of this. He was on Cheers like Kelsey and John Ratzenberger were. Shuli said that Jay flip flops on all of this a lot so he's not sure where he stands.
Robin read about Todd Aiken, the guy who said that ''legitimate rape'' line a while back, and how he's still got a chance to win in his election. Howard said he can't believe that.
Robin read about the World Series and the MVP player being named. Robin had some audio of the player talking.
Howard talked about how he wants to go see Jimmy Kimmel but he's not sure if he will. He said he's not sure if David Letterman is going to make it either. Robin said tonight he's supposed to have Chris Rock and Alicia Keys on the show. Howard said he doesn't think Chris will make it. He said Alicia Keys probably will because she wants that attention. Howard said tomorrow is going to be the worst of the weather so he's not going to die for Jimmy.
Robin said that Madonna is going to be on Ellen this week and Madonna's 12 year old son comes with her. She had some audio of the kid talking about his mom. Howard said that's pretty cool she got Madonna's son on the show.
Robin read about the number 1 movie at the box office being Argo. Robin said that it made it to the top of the heap pulling in $12 million. Robin read through the rest of the top 5 movies at the box office. Howard went into his Gary impression again and goofed on him about the trees in his yard falling. Howard and Shuli goofed on Gary for a couple more minutes about the storm and how he has to get home to protect his house.
Robin said that she's not sure how Gary is going to protect his house. Gary asked if she's serious about that. Howard kept doing his impression of Gary and goofing on him while Robin and Gary were arguing. Robin said in a terrible storm there's nothing you can really do to protect the house. Howard, as Gary, was arguing with the real Gary and giving him advice on how to protect the house.
Howard said Gary is Mr. Prepared with the trampoline in the back yard. Shuli said a few lines that Gary didn't find funny. He told Shuli to feel free say something funny at any time. Shuli did his Gary voice and said that picking on someone beneath him is a good idea. Gary said he heard that the Connecticut highways are being shut down at 1. Howard told him to leave now. Gary said he can make it through the Wrap Up Show and then leave. Howard wrapped up and said he's going to make every effort to be there tomorrow. Fred, as Gary, said ''Not me!'' They ended the show around 10:15am.

Jon said they really have to talk about how empty the city is today. Gary said that a few people from the show weren't there today but when you walk out in the lobby it's like a zoo usually. He said there's a stranger at the receptionists desk and the lights aren't on in the lobby. He said it's really weird. He said it's like they're the only ones there.
Jon said that everyone but Richard and Scott Salem came in from the radio side. He said Gary knew Scott wasn't coming in. Gary said that's correct. Jon asked if he thinks that the rest of the guys are going to keep getting hit over the next couple of weeks. Gary said he thinks they will. Gary said he's the guy who took it today. He said that he thinks he's right even though Howard may not think it's right. Gary said that Howard likes to tweak you and it can work both ways. He said that it's tweaking and also good radio.
Jon asked Gary what he thought about Robin wondering how he's going to protect his house. Gary said that was just crazy. He said that he has to cover up a hole in his house if he has one. He said he's not going to leave an open hole in his house. Jon said that there's nothing wrong with being with your family either. He said that went right by Howard and Robin. Gary said he's not sure what that was about. He said Howard has Beth and that's all he has to deal with. Jon said when you walk in during a storm you know there's a storm because Ronnie is ''Casual Ronnie.'' He said it makes you wonder what's up with that. Gary said Mel Karmazin stopped by in casual clothes too. Gary said he usually wears nicer pants and shirt but he expected to walk from the garage to the building getting soaked. Jon asked Gary if he thinks that he's undependable. Gary said he really doesn't.
Jon took a call from a guy who said he thought Howard was too harsh on Gary about the whole thing. The guy said that Howard does have people to help him out with his homes and stuff.
Jason said that he disagreed with everything Howard was saying to Gary but he also loved every minute of it. He said it was so funny but Howard was so wrong. He said it was great even though he was so wrong. Gary said that's the backhanded comment that he gets all the time. Gary said that Shuli going off on him wasn't so great either. He said he felt he was piling on and he didn't need to. He said he can't walk out of there like nothing happened.
Jason said the funny thing was that Gary asked if Shuli was going to come to the Wrap Up Show. He said Shuli always finds time to do that. Jason said that Shuli is auditioning for a job. Gary said that's fine but you can't blame it all on that. He said that it was a lot like the kid in school doing something right while everyone else did something wrong.
Jason said that Shuli was gloating about how he left his wife and kid at home and stayed at the hotel. Gary said that Shuli isn't a homeowner and he never has. He said he rents a house somewhere. He said that it's not really his headache.
Jason said that he can't leave his wife home alone with the wind. He said Will is undecided about going home and he will regret it when the wife calls all upset when a tree hits the house or something. Gary said that's what he's thinking too and that's why he's going to be home with the family.
The guys talked about how Shuli is the only one other than Tim staying at the hotel. They said that Tim is staying there and he already lives in the city. Jason said that Steve Brandano is staying there too and so is JD. Jason talked about how great the rooms are too.

Jon said that Shuli was really goofing on Gary today. Shuli said that when they have no guests that's what happens. They all get goofed on.
Gary said he felt like Shuli took that hotel room and he was going to rub it in everyone's face no matter what. Shuli said that Howard wants to hear jokes so that's what he was doing. Gary said not all of it was joking though. He said he was making comments that were just him being a dick. Shuli said he wasn't intentionally being an asshole toward him. Shuli said that Howard asked Gary if he was going to be there and he jumped on it. Shuli said he doesn't know what they're talking about. Gary asked if he could just do that in there and walk out and think that nothing happened. Shuli said no to that.
Ronnie came in and Jon said he seemed to be pissed at Shuli today too. Ronnie said he's been there for everything and him coming in and ranking on him for being there and not being sure if he will be there tomorrow is just wrong. Jon asked if he's upset because he questioned his professionalism.
Shuli said the flooding and stuff is just as much of an issue for him as it is for everyone else. Ronnie told him he should get off his case then. Shuli said he never will.
Jon Leiberman said that some people think that Shuli would not be in today if he wasn't in studio. Shuli said he was torn about the whole thing. He said his wife is sick and his 2 year old is sick and they're about to face blackouts and all of that. Shuli said he called Tim and asked him what to do. Shuli said Tim told him Howard said he was working so he made his decision then. He said that he didn't want to be on the list of people who didn't show up.
Jason said he thought Shuli was very funny today. Gary said he thought he was funny too but he was also vindictive at times. Jason asked Shuli what he's going to do when he gets a call at 1 in the morning from his wife. Shuli said that he'll have to see what happens. Tim came in and said that Shuli wouldn't be there if he hadn't called him yesterday. Shuli said he called Tim and asked him to tell the truth. Tim said that Jason did the same thing.
Leiberman said that the Holland Tunnel is closed at 2 today. He said they're closing other roads and tunnels today too. Jon said they say that all bridges and tunnels will be closed by 4pm today.
Gary said that he may not be able to make it in tomorrow. Jason said nothing is going to happen if Gary isn't there. He said the show will go on. Jon asked Tim what will happen if no one but Howard can make it in. Jason said that Howard will do the show even if he's the only one there.
Jon took a call from a guy who said that Shuli has pissed off a lot of people. Gary said that Jackie and Stuttering John have pissed him off in the past too. Tim told Shuli that revenge is a bitch.
Jason asked Shuli about Tim taking him out to dinner and how he turned on him and told Howard what happened. Shuli said that he did try to pay for his cheesecake. He said he's not a total schnurer.
Will came in and said that the show has that line between humor and honesty. He said he wants to be home and he may not make it in tomorrow. Gary said that when Howard says that he's coming in and asks is you're coming in it's like a test of your loyalty. He said that's why when he asks if he can depend on you then it makes you wonder what he's doing.
The guys were saying that they don't think that Howard will be doing Jimmy Kimmel tomorrow. Jon asked Mike Gange about why Doug and Scott didn't come in. Gange said that they were told that the office would be closed. Gange said the reason he's there is because he lives close. He said he will get up and see what the weather is like tomorrow. He said he may not make it in tomorrow. He said Scott has to travel really far. Gary said that Scott lives a mile away from Will. Gange said if it was left up to him to come in he would have come in. He was told not to come in.
Gange said that they were told that the offices were closed and they were told to stay safe. Gange said he lives so close that he has to really try to get in. He said that's why he was there. Gange said he's willing to take that bullet for everyone else. Gange said he was picked up in a limo this morning and brought to work. Jon had to take another break after that.
Jon Leiberman said that they did not see full breasts. He said that they are tired of hearing about her book in the news room every day. He said that they're just done with all of that. He said he's glad she's doing the book but they're tired of hearing about it. Leiberman said he would never ask Howard to do something like that. He said he hasn't been there that long though. Jason asked if he thinks that she was out of line asking for the photo shoot. Leiberman eventually said no.
Lisa G came in and said that you can't fake boobs like that so the cleavage they saw was real. Lisa said that the stylist and Beth were there too. They saw her. Jason said that you can fake cleavage. He said they've done it before.
Lisa said that she was worried about the storm today and she was going back and forth about that all morning. She said she has to get home now.
Gary asked Lisa if she was making fun of her with that whole Regis thing. She said that it was just for fun and she was telling him what he's known for at work. Jason said he wonders if she would be okay with it if Gary was doing the same with her. Lisa said that he asked her about work so that's what she told him about. Gary asked if she would be okay if he said she takes shits at work. Lisa said she'd be fine with that.
Ronnie asked Lisa to prove to them that she has big boobs but she said she's not going to do that.
Jon took a call from a guy who said he feels bad for Gary because he's the executive producer and he's getting bullied. He said it's not fun or funny anymore. Gary said that's the point he brings up on the show all the time. He said that he wants him to be in charge and run everything but then he'll demean him and everyone is snickering at him. He said it's very hard to lead in that area when that's going on. Jason said that he's friends with some guys at the Letterman show but they never say a word about Rob Burnett. He said it's a totally different thing there.
Gary said that yesterday they had all of these ideas for the show and Tim gave them to Howard and Howard laughed at them. He said he was going to discuss them with Howard but Howard never gave him the chance. He said he was going to come into the show and just do the show. That's all he wanted to say. Jason said that if Howard is coming in then all of the other options are like a joke to him.
Howard started the show talking about how some of them are there live. He said Shuli, Benjy, Robin and Fred were there. Howard said these are the guys you want to go to war with. Howard said JD is also there. Jim McClure is there. Howard said Steve Brandano is there and he's been promoted to Executive Producer. Howard said Mike Gange is there too. Fred said he's back there running the show all by himself.
Howard said most of them there were offered hotel rooms and they didn't take them. Howard said Gary went home to take care of his house but he's not sure how that works. He said he's a pussy. Howard said that he doesn't have that mentality.
Howard said Gary called him last night in the middle of the storm and asked what mechanism he was going to use to determine if he was coming in. Howard said he was going to get up, if the world was still there he was going to work. Howard said Gary was actually asking what mechanism he was using. Howard said he doesn't know how to answer that. Howard said he's not his daddy. Howard said he should have taken a hotel room and stayed in the city. Robin said she used to work in hospitals and there is no ''not coming in'' there.
Howard said Doug Goodstein is the biggest pussy ever. He said he would never go to war with him. Howard said Doug didn't come in yesterday because the offices were closed. Howard said there was no problem in the city though. Howard said everyone is so fucked up with the work. He said it's crazy. Robin said these guys are of the generation who don't know about that kind of work ethic.
Robin said she went home with Scott Salem after 9/11 and she knew that he wouldn't be at work the next day. She said she had to find her way home so she could get to work the next morning. Howard said these guys have to put the show on. He said he had his ISDN line set up last night and he figured he'd try that if this didn't work. Howard said he just doesn't get it. Robin said she got her's working last night too.
Howard said Robin hasn't missed a day of work. Fred played Robin's music. Howard said she deserves her music being played. He said that the job isn't fun all the time but it's a job. He said you just do it. Howard said Robin could have her head chopped off and she'd still be doing it.
Howard goofed on Gary more about staying home to protect his home from the trees falling on his home. Robin said she heard about people being killed by tree limbs. Howard said he does have those beaver teeth.
Howard said that he got some email from people complaining about the way he treated Gary yesterday. Howard read one guy's email and said he guarantees that guy works at McDonald's or something. Howard said Gary could have brought his family into New York City to stay if he was that worried. Howard said he can't rebuild his own home if something happens to it.
Howard read another one where the guy said that Gary is the dumb ass. He told Gary to listen to his boff and go to work.
Howard read one email where the guy said Howard is an asshole and he hopes that Beth and his parents die in the hurricane. Shuli said those are his fans too.
Shuli said that Gary went after him on the Wrap Up Show yesterday and all he was doing was his job. Shuli said he thinks his job is entertaining Howard. He said that's it and Gary went after him for that.
Howard read some more email about what was going on yesterday with the hurricane and how schools and businesses were closed. Howard said that he's still pissed about Doug Goodstein. He said he's running around with those bug eyes of his taking pictures. Shuli said he's putting his baby clothes on higher ground. Howard said he knows exactly what Doug is doing.
Howard said he doesn't give a shit if no one shows up for work. He said all he said was that he was coming into work. Howard said he told Gary he could come in or not. He said Gary freaked out when he asked if he could depend on him being there. Howard said he didn't tell Gary to do anything and Gary was angry with him. Howard said he wasn't goofing on him. He said they offered him a hotel there. Howard said he could have put his family in the hotel but Gary said that he doesn't have the staff to watch his house. Howard said he was being attacked by this beaver faced prick.
Howard said last night Gary called him and he had his alarm system going off with water blowing in the windows. Howard said Gary was giving him a briefing on who was going to be coming in. He told Gary he didn't care. Howard said if they're there they're there. He said it's okay if they're not there. He said he's not mad that he didn't show up. He said that's fine.
Howard said Gary was angry with him for having a staff. Howard said his anger came out and you think he's the angry one. Robin said Gary was yelling at her too saying she has someone at her house. She said she has no one at her house.
Shuli said it's like kids hoping that the school cancels that day and the school refuses to close. Howard said things are bad out there but people can get in. Howard said Gary was without power before the storm even came. Howard said Gary might want to move. He said that he must live in Guam or something. Howard said he lost power by 9 in the morning yesterday.
Howard said then Gary calls and gets on with him and tells him who is coming to work. He said he doesn't know what to do with that information. He said he really has to analyze it.
Howard said he told Gary to just stay home and not worry about it. Howard said Gary says he's worried about his family but he has a trampoline in the back yard he didn't do anything with. Howard said they had a guy on the news last night who had a trampoline and the thing was flying all over and hit his neighbor's house. Then another trampoline hit some power lines. Howard said Gary didn't bother taking in his trampoline.
Howard read some more email about Gary and how he should have given him a break with all of that stuff yesterday. Howard said all he did was ask Gary if he was going to be there. He said maybe he should have worded it differently.
Howard read an email from someone who said he was out of line asking Gary those questions yesterday. Howard said that this guy probably takes off any day he can take off. Howard said his dad was a radio engineer and he made a great living for a guy who grew up poor. He said his dad never missed a day of work. Howard said if he was being paid that day he showed up. Howard said his mother would go crazy when he'd go to work in a blizzard. Howard said he worked for this guy named Fortune Pope and he owned a bunch of things. Howard said his father was an engineer and Fortune called his dad. Howard said Fortune asked about how he never misses a day. Howard was doing his impression of his dad during this discussion. Howard said Fortune asked if he was a union guy. Howard said his dad was but he works too hard for a union guy. Howard said Fortune said he likes him and he had a recording studio that he wanted his dad to run. Howard said his dad asked if he'd lose his place in the union. Pope liked his dad so much he said he'd keep him in the union. Howard said his dad went to work every day and worked his ass off. Howard said he did a good day's work.
Howard said Pope comes to his dad eventually and asks if he wants to own the recording studio. Howard said his dad never owned anything. He said his dad bought the business with some other guys. He said his father eventually left the union and had his own business. He had the largest recording studio in the city. Howard said people say he's lucky but it's not luck. It's hard work. Howard said people have no fucking clue what he did to get where he is. Howard said he didn't have any staff years ago when he was working in Detroit and shoveling snow off his car to get to work. Howard said he got to his job and that's it.
Howard referred back to that ''what type of mechanism'' discussion from earlier. Howard said he has no phones today. Steve Brandano said they're working on it. Howard said some things never change.
The guys mentioned Scott the Engineer and he's another one who doesn't show up to work. He wasn't there yesterday and he wasn't there toady. Howard said you know how much fun is going on in his house so why leave. Howard and the guys were goofing on Scott about how many days he's taken off. Howard said he took off for Yom Kippur.
Howard read some more email about how he flew out to Pittsburgh when they had a big storm coming in. Howard said he did that on a day he had off. He said it wasn't a work day. Howard said Beth wanted to go visit the family and take the pets out there. Howard said they did that and he even got on a plane. Howard said this guy is probably another guy out of work. Shuli said that people were attacking him on Twitter about goofing on Gary yesterday. Howard said no one was even goofing on him. Howard said he told Gary it was fine if he didn't come in. Howard said he just said he was going to find a way to do the show.
Howard said he knew that Fred would be at work. He said he's a guy he can depend on being there. Gary flipped out on him when he heard him say that.
Howard said he doesn't get Doug Goodstein. He said if he wants to stay home then stay home. He doesn't care. Howard said Scott will probably take off Wednesday since he wasn't there Monday or Tuesday. Howard said he can't believe that the show is up and running without Scott. He wondered how they do it. Howard said even Jason ran home yesterday to his apartment. Howard said he could have stayed in the hotel. Howard said he didn't bust anyone's balls about not coming in. Howard said he's not going to make them come to work. He said it just sets people off when he decides to come to work.
Howard said maybe the 3 day week is killing everyone. He said maybe it's too much for them. Howard said Gary was wondering about trees falling on the house and maybe putting a tarp on the house to keep the water out. Howard said he thinks of Gary imagining it being like Road Warrior.
Howard said Gary isn't going to go out in a storm and protect his house if a tree falls on it. Howard said he's not going to lift it. He said he doesn't have super powers. Howard said maybe Mary can bounce on the trampoline out to Pittsburgh. Fred threw in some bouncing sound effects while they were doing that.
Howard said his building was swaying in the wind last night. He said it felt like a boat. Howard said he thought he was hallucinating. Howard said she was getting sea sick. Howard said he was too. Robin said she heard a lot of noises last night. Howard said it was so noisy but he fell asleep. He said he thought he was going to need Ambien. Howard said he fell asleep but Beth was up all night.
Howard said that he doesn't know what to do about Jimmy Kimmel. JD came in and said that John Bolaris will be there at 7:30 so he can tell him what's going on with the storm. Shuli said that they were about 2 blocks from the crane that collapsed last night.
Howard talked about JD and Jim McClure being there. Shuli said they are the group known as ''The Dependables.''
Howard read some news and had some stories about Kim Kardashian and goofed on her fat ass. Howard asked if this is going to wipe out Halloween. Fred said Chris Christy was going to reschedule it. They talked about how he must love that candy.
Howard said Richard Christy stayed home yesterday to take care of his fish and gerbil. Howard said you'd think he'd go to the hotel but he stayed home.
Howard played a song parody about Gary being undependable that Sal created. He had a bunch of audio clips in the song of Gary talking to Howard yesterday.
Howard said Gary thought he was being mean yesterday. He said if that's the way you think then you'll probably never go anywhere in life.
Howard played some audio of someone interviewing people on the street about Gary not showing up for work. Howard said that was your average guy on the street. The guy was saying that he should be there at work.
Howard played another interview where the guy was rambling about work and not making much sense. Howard said he didn't know English but that didn't stop him from answering. Howard said that guy is going places.
Howard played more interviews they did with people on the street and most of the people were saying that the producer should show up for work. Howard replayed some of the ''Undependable'' song.
Shuli said Jon and John Bolaris did a great job doing the weather reports last night. He said that Leiberman stayed at the hotel last night. Howard said Jon wanted him to know he was there and yelled out to him as he walked by the office. Jon came in and said that's so not the way it went down. Howard asked Jon why he didn't go home to protect his house. Jon said he stayed in the city because he and Bolaris did the show. He said that his girlfriend is a producer for Piers Morgan and she was in the city. He said that he's supposed to close on a house tomorrow afternoon in Coastal Connecticut. Howard asked if the house is even there. Jon said he doesn't know. He said he loves the house too.
Howard said it would have been really bad if he had closed on the house 2 days ago and then this storm hits. Jon said things are crazy. He said his fingers are crossed.
Howard asked Jon how he affords a house. He said he must be getting paid too much. Shuli said the guy has like 18 jobs outside of this one. Jon said he's like a crazy Jamaican.
Jon asked if he heard any of the show last night. Howard said he was going to call in last night but then his alarm was going off. Jon said the building there was swaying like crazy. He said he thought the show was great with the serious mixed with funny. He said that Bobo was crying on the phone. Howard asked why he was doing that. Jon said Bobo was talking about the water coming up at the docks. He said they got him on the air and a transformer blew up by his house and he was afraid the water was going to ruin his shrine. He said things were crazy with him. He said John Bolaris was telling him to get to cover. Howard had a clip of that part of the show.
Howard played the clip and Jon got Bobo on the line. Bobo said he had an explosion over there. Bobo said that he was almost knocked off the deck. He said the house was without power. Jon asked what the rain and wind was doing. Bobo gave them a rundown of what was going on out there. Bolaris told him that they told him to leave.
Jon told Howard that was the end of that. He said at 11:15 last night he had Bobo call him and he didn't pick up. He said he called again 5 minutes later saying he wanted to check in again. He said he told him he was glad he was still alive.
Robin asked if he was in the area that was supposed to be evacuated. Jon said he was on the edge of that area but he stuck around.
Howard asked if Bobo is only allowed to listen in his car. Jon said he is. He said his therapist told him that he should stop listening all together. He said he was told to take 2 months off from the show. Howard said that kills 4 hours a day for him. Robin said he gets depressed if he doesn't get on the show though.
Jon said he interviewed Bobo's wife out at their house and she said that he gets crazy. Jon said Bobo has to listen to the whole replay of the show later in the day if Howard takes his call. Howard asked if it's obsessive compulsive disorder or something. Jon said it must be.
Howard wondered if this behavior is from his wig glue. Jon said they were asking him what his hair was doing in the wind last night. He said that Bobo said that it was staying on even in the hurricane winds. Howard said they should bring him in there and try to blow that wig off. They talked about getting some leaf blowers and try to blow it off.
Jon said that High Pitch Eric was on the phone with them last night. He was telling them what kind of food he got for the storm. He said that he had a lot of Entenmann's and stuff like that. Howard had a clip from the show where they talked about that. Eric said he had chocolate cake, Pepsi and some candy. He said his diet was on hold for the week. He said it was just over until the storm is over. Howard said fat people always find a way to suspend their diet.
Jon said that Eric had eaten all of those rations a few hours later. He said that Eric went back to get more food at the store to help him make it through the night. Jon said they asked Sal what kind of rations he had and he just said ''What?'' like he had never even heard that word before. Howard said it makes him sad that his staff doesn't know this kind of stuff. Howard said Richard lives in Manhattan and he can't make it to work. Robin said he's actually in Queens but he could have walked to work.
Jon said that Gange was there yesterday and today. He said that he was in a bar last night trying to pick up a bartender. He said Gange stepped outside and said they only had 5 mile per hour winds and Gange insisted that it was only 5. He insisted that nothing was going on there. Ten minutes later the bar was being shut down by the cops because they were about to get flooded. Jon said it was funny to hear Gange talking like that.
Howard said Gange has gotten really fat. He said he's bigger than anyone on the staff. Howard said he must have given up. Howard asked how old he is now. Jon said he's not sure but he must be like 42. Howard said he looks terrible. Gange came in and said he feels terrible too. He said he thinks he's like 250 pounds and 5'8'' tall.
Gange told Howard he was in the bar from about 2 in the afternoon on. He said that he drank there and then went to get two slices of pizza around the corner. Howard said that sounds like a lot of drinking and eating. Gange said he went home and went to bed after that. Howard said that's how you let it fatten you up. He said you don't move and it just marbles up on you.
Howard said that when you're 40 and not married then women start to think something is wrong. Shuli said that he'll come on the block party shoots and he won't see him for hours. He said Gange will magically appear when the food shows up. Gange said that's just coincidence. He said it is weird that he ends up in the room when the food shows up.
Howard said Gange's whole life is with him. He said that he should have fired Gange back when he sent that porn tape to the dying woman. Howard said that he asked him to tape some Seinfeld episodes and he ended up sending a porn tape to her. Howard said he gave him a promotion instead. Howard said it was the biggest mistake of his life. Howard said the only chicks he gets are from the show. Gange said that's not really true. He said he dated a woman for a few months who didn't even listen to the show. Howard said that's one out of 20 years. Gange said he's been there for 20 years so that's how things go. Howard asked why the intern dumped him. Gange said he didn't know.
Howard asked Gange what happened to that one. Gange said he doesn't know. He said that was a long time ago already though. Howard said Gange is on a losing streak. He asked if the women are getting uglier. Gange said they're not. Howard said he imagines a girl who looks like Benjy showing up on a date. Gange said that if she was cute and had nice eyes he'd hook up with her.
Gange said he has things going on. He said he has a Friend with Benefits kind of thing going on. Jon asked what the benefit is. He asked if she gives him food. Gange laughed.
Howard asked Gange if he wants to be married. He said that he family thinks that he's the big winner in the family because he went to college. Gange said he would like to be married some day. He said if there's a girl out there he's ready.
Howard asked Gange if he thinks Doug is weird for not showing up. Gange said he wants to be home with his family and he kind of gets that. Howard said he'd like to retire from radio but he hasn't. Gange said no one will miss him if he shows up for work. Howard said Doug's eyes bug out of his head in an emergency. He said that he doesn't really help out. Gange said he did help out during 9/11.
Gange said that DePace tried to come in this morning but he got stuck on the highway. He said the cops wouldn't let him turn around. Howard said he should have showed up yesterday. He said nothing was going on yesterday.
Howard said Doug goes out of his way to tell people to stay home. Gange said the company was worried about them. Howard said they do that for legal reasons. He said they don't really care about them.
Ronnie came in and said that he knows a lot about Gange's love life. He said that there are plenty of girls who want to go out with him but they're not good enough. He said Gange is very picky. He said there's one girl who throws herself at him. Jon said he knows who that is. Ronnie said he could go out with her and bang her in a second but Gange won't do it. Ronnie said that she lives too far from him. He said that she'll come in to the city to him.
Gange said that this is a weird explanation. He said she's a single mom and he doesn't want to mess with someone's head like that. Howard said he gets that. He said he has to commend him for that. He said she's a single mom and he could get all tied up in that. Howard said if he has to break up then it gets messy.
Ronnie asked about the chick from the bar. Gange said that he'll see what happens with that. He said one of the waitresses from the bar is a fan of the show. He said she was hanging out there and he told her he'd get her on the phone. He said he figured that would be a great move. Gange said she has a boyfriend right now so what's he supposed to do? Howard told him to just ask her out. Ronnie said he'd rather just talk to them for 3 years. Gange said he feels that he's going to put a crack in the veneer eventually. Shuli said he's in the friend zone.
Ronnie said that Gange dated a girl for 5 years and she dumped him because he didn't want to get married. Gange said that's not the way it was. He said he can't even remember what happened. Ronnie said that's bull and you don't forget a 5 year relationship. Howard said it's the same story over and over again with him. Howard said he should ask that waitress today if he would like to go out with him. Gange said she's working today if the bar is open. He said he'll stop by there and ask. Howard said he should just tell her she's great and ask her to go out with him to dinner and a movie. Howard said he'll be out of his misery if she says no. Howard said if she says yes then he's in. Howard said Gange wastes so much time. He said he tries to be charming and flirts with women. Howard said she will tell him about the boyfriend and he'll just sit there listening. Gange said he doesn't listen to that stuff. He said she's only 24 years old too.
Howard said Gange is being a douche and he wastes a lot of time. Gange said he knows he does. He said he has really liked some people and he went right after them. He has done that. Howard told Gange to look at him and ask him out. Gange tried doing that. Howard played the girl and goofed on him for asking her out. Gange said that he will never ask her out if that's what her reaction is going to be. Howard was making fun of his weight. Gange said he was the only one in the bar eating pizza. He said he brought it back to the bar last night.
Jon said that Gange has no socks on. Gange said he had to take them off when he got to work. Howard goofed on Gange some more about asking the girl out. Howard asked Ronnie what he would do. Ronnie said he'd just ask her what's up and ask her to go hang out.
Fred did his Ronnie impression asking the girl out. He had some pick up lines like ''Are you from Tennessee because you're the only ten I see.'' He had a bunch like that. Ronnie said he might have to help him with his pick up lines.
Ronnie said he had to thank the NYPD for letting him go over the bridge this morning. Howard said he was kind of pissed at Ronnie for the way things went. Ronnie said he showed up to work. Howard said that's all that counts. They had to go to break a short time later.

Howard came back and said that was a little Pink Floyd action. Howard said it's a beautiful song. Howard asked if Robin wanted to talk to Gary. Robin asked if he called in. Howard said he did. Howard asked Gary how he made out with the house. Gary said that he would like to make a quick statement. Gary said he harbors no animosity or resentment. He said he said yesterday that they have different circumstances. Howard said he attacked him because all he did was ask if he could depend on him being there. Howard said he went into a long attack about his lifestyle and how he has more than him. Gary said that's not what it was about.
Howard said he told Gary he could have stayed in the city at the hotel. Howard said he felt attacked by Gary. Gary said he wasn't attacking him. He said he was questioning his loyalty. Howard said Gary doesn't like the way he words things. Howard said he asked if he could be there and he said he couldn't. Howard said Gary said he couldn't depend on him being there but it was no big deal.
Howard said if he's so worried about him then he should be there. Howard said it doesn't do him any good to call him to let him know he's coming in. Gary said that he could have told him to call Ronnie or Tim. Howard said Gary is a big boy and he can figure it out. Gary said he did figure it out. Howard said that's good.
Howard said Gary was the one who attacked him. He said he didn't attack Gary. Robin said Gary is putting words into his mouth. Gary said he can't do this call because he had weird feedback on the phone. Howard said he'll talk to him some other day then.
Howard talked about that call he got from Gary about what mechanism he was going to use to decide. Howard said he was just going to wake up and get to work. He said Gary asked if he should know before hand if he's going to work. Howard said sometimes he doesn't get Gary. He said he has a high IQ but sometimes he sounds silly to him. He said he's never seen a producer so worked up over a show he's not there to produce.
Howard said he isn't going o stop his morning to call Gary. He said he has to get to work and that's it. Howard said he's not sure what Gary would have done with that information if he did know. Howard said it was just crazy. He said he didn't want to spend the whole show talking about him but he probably could. Howard said he told Beth he doesn't follow his logic. Howard said he's not sure how he's helping.
Howard said that Gary wants to know if he's going to work but he's not sure why he needs to know. Howard said Gary wanted the bulletin before he goes in. He said he didn't know he was going to get there until he got there.
Howard said he thinks Gary wanted him to call him when he woke up or something. He said even that wouldn't help. He said he had to get to work and not worry about calling Gary to let him know what he's doing. He said it was retarded.
Howard said he spent like an hour trying to set up his ISDN line. He said his alarm system was going off randomly so he has to get rid of that.
Robin said David Letterman did a show without an audience. Howard said he's all caught up in it because he's supposed to be a guest. He said Tracy Morgan is supposed to be there too but he thinks he lives in Brooklyn. Howard said he's not sure what to do. Howard said Jimmy is one of his only male friends so he's not sure what to do. He said he doesn't want to screw that up.
Robin said they do have Howard in the promo clips. She said that they have Howard in that satellite situation and it looks very bizarre. Howard said there is something preventing him from being on that show. He said he feels bad for Jimmy because he put so much into it.
Howard read about how animals act strange before a storm. Howard said that Salamander tattoo on Ronnie's arm started to slither under his balls so they're right about that.
Howard said the thing that stinks about these storms is when the FOX news anchors start covering up during the storms.
Howard said he has to ask Gary about the trampoline in his yard. He wondered what he uses it for.
Howard read some email about various things that were going on with the show yesterday. He had some feedback about Scott the Engineer being out and about Lisa G's breasts.
Howard said that food is scarce because Tim and JD are there. Howard said everything they had stockpiled is gone.
Howard said that he's not sure how bad things are when all of those reporters are out there reporting on the storm. Robin said one guy was chased away from where he was reporting. Another one was stranded when her truck got flooded.
Howard said that he photographed Lisa G the other day and she now has the third largest tits on the show. He said it's Robin, Jason and Lisa G. Shuli said he wasn't able to look at her the rest of the day. He said that was a shock to him.
Howard said Tim Sabean took a hotel room even though he lives in the city. Howard said Tim told him he loves to spice things up and shit in a different bathroom once in a while. Robin said that reminds her of the song he's doing in the musical. Howard said people were asking about that and wondering if they're really doing that musical. Howard said they are working on it.

John Bolaris gave the guys some updates on what the forecast is for the rest of the day. He said he thinks that later today they'll be able to lift the wind advisories. He said there may be more flooding but they should be okay.
Gary asked Benjy what his thoughts were on what Howard was saying about him. Benjy said that he felt for him because of the shit they give him for showing up late. Benjy said that he understands Gary's feelings. Gary said that he wouldn't say it was all about his house. He said it was more about his family. Benjy said he has no anger over it. He said maybe he should have brought the family into the city. Gary said that Benjy doesn't own a home so he doesn't know what it's like.
Gary said a month and a half ago they had a wire down across the street. He said they knew it was there and if he wasn't home when something like that happened at his house then he wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. Gary said that just because you have insurance doesn't mean you should walk away from something. They had to go to break a short time later.
Gary said that Gange did a great job with Scott's job yesterday. Scott said that Steve did a good job for Gary today too. Gary said he didn't mean it as a dig.
Scott asked about Jason not coming in today. Gary said that Jason knew he could be there but he was worried about his wife. Gary said he talked about how awful he would have felt if his wife was home alone going through the storm.
Jon Leiberman said that people thought Jason was high when he called into their show yesterday. He was speaking very low when he called in. Jon said he can't imagine why they would think that.
Jon asked Scott about Doug not coming in and what he knew about that. Scott said the legal department told them not to come in. He said he was told that he wasn't supposed to come in. Gange said they were very clear about that. He said he doesn't think that they'll get in trouble over it though.
Jon asked Gange about Howard calling him in and going off on him about his weight and about the girls. Gange said that the weight thing and the bald and loser thing bothers him a little bit. He said he has to come to grips with that.
Gary asked Gange if he died tomorrow and Howard had to write his epitaph would that Seinfeld tape end up in there. Gange said he's sure it would. They talked about the woman he sent the tape to and Gange said that she gets more and more religious as the years pass by. Gange said that the tape was a mistake and Howard makes it seem like he did it on purpose.
Jon asked Gange about the friend with benefits he has. Gange said that they both know that it's just a friend with benefits kind of thing. He said that it'll never be more than that. Benjy asked if they know that they're going to end up doing that. Gange said they do. He said she's attractive too.
Scott asked if she blows Gange. Benjy said it's funny that he's always asking about blow jobs like that. Scott said he was just wondering if she does that or just fucks.
Jon asked who made the first move in that relationship. Gange said he's not sure. He said it probably started out as a drunken discussion one night. Scott asked if he's ever had her on her period. Gange said he doesn't think that's ever happened.
Jon asked the guys who they think will get the hardest time Gary, Doug or Scott Salem. The guys were saying they think that Scott is going to take it. Scott DePace said Howard will give it to Gary too though. Gange said that Scott will never get the chance to redeem himself. Gary said he has the chance to do that every day but he never does.
Jon said that the other name that comes up a lot is Richard Christy. Gary said that Richard refused to leave his apartment even though he was told to evacuate.

Jon asked Shuli about saying that Gary was taking his anger about Howard out on him. Shuli said he was part of the goofing team and he's the low man on the totem pole so he'll eat the shit sandwich. Gary said he's not that new and not that low. Gary said when Howard came at him he went back at him with the way he felt. Shuli said he felt that Gary's reaction toward him was kind of extreme. Gary said the person that's really pissed at Shuli is Tim Sabean. Tim was in the studio so they asked him about that. Gary said Shuli went out to dinner with Tim and the next day he's talking about how much he eats. Shuli said it wasn't that bad. He said they're doing a comedy show there.
Jon asked Tim to tell Shuli how he really feels. Shuli didn't give him a chance. He said he went to dinner and he talked about what happened. He said that's all he did.
Shuli said that they had no guests and he was making conversation. Gary said that he's acting like there won't be repercussions for something like that. He said there will be. Gary said that he basically said that Tim is a fat guy. He said he knows the joke he's going for but don't walk out the door and be surprised if Tim is pissed.

Shuli said he has it anyway. He said he's throwing it right back at him.
Jon asked Shuli what else he has about him that he would like to say. Shuli said he will never do that again. Gary told him not to feel limited. Gary said some of the stuff Shuli was doing was funny but some of it was like he was just saying stuff to please Howard. Shuli said that is his audience so that's who he's playing to. He said if Howard is laughing then he's going to keep doing it. Shuli said he didn't think that it would bother them the way it did. He said that they are there to bust balls and have some fun. Jon Leiberman asked if Shuli is the new Jason. Gary said he's really not. They had to end the show a short time later. They were done at 11:00am.
Howard started the show talking about how this week can't end fast enough. He said it's been a horrible time for people. He said his friend Ratso sent him a picture of his house and the whole front of the house is off.
Robin said hello to Howard so they goofed on Gary for a few seconds about his ''Hello, hello'' clip.
Howard said he won't say the name Sandy anymore. He said that it kind of ruined people's lives and that name isn't a good name for a storm like that. He said it's too nice. Robin said that she's been seeing some footage and seeing the boardwalks just washed away. She said it's just mud and sand everywhere. Howard said Gary was able to save his trampoline. Robin said no one has been able to get to her empty house.
Howard said he did the Jimmy Kimmel show last night. He said it was difficult for Ronnie to get there. They had no power below 23rd Street so there are no lights. Howard said it took a long time to get down there. He said it wasn't too bad coming home. He said they had a full house down there and it was a lot of fun. Howard said it was good to see Jimmy.
Howard said he hates doing those appearances but he adores Jimmy and he didn't want to be a dick so he did the show. Robin said Jimmy didn't seem to embrace him like she would have thought. Howard said he didn't really give him a chance.
Howard said Tracy Morgan was there and he's one of those guys who gives you a huge hug. He said that it was kind of rough. Howard said Tracy told him that he was coming on the show and he told him to come in any time.
Howard said he got there around 4 o'clock and it's a nice place. He said it's the Brooklyn Academy Theater or something. He said it has another name with Harvey in it. He said that's the name his mother wanted to name him.
Howard said it's very warm in the studio. He said he's all bundled up today. Howard said he was waiting for them to cancel the Kimmel show. Howard said he really didn't want to go down there. Then Ronnie said to him that the bridge was open. Howard said he just said ''Oh no...'' Howard said Ronnie wasn't looking forward to it either. Howard said it was like the TV show ''Revolution.'' Howard said his episode didn't tape the other night. Robin said it was storm central the whole time.
Howard said those shows fuck him up because he takes it seriously. He said he was going to go work out after the radio show but he figured he had to be ready to do Jimmy's show. Howard said he worked out anyway and he worked out way too hard. He said he was working out with another guy and he was pushing. Howard said he was running and doing pull-ups and all of that. Howard said he sounded like Gange after that.
Howard played a clip from Back Office Radio. They had a caller talking about ''poor JD'' and Jason went off on him about how he's not ''poor'' and how he's living a great life working for the show and fucking girls all over the country. JD said he's not looking for people to pity him. He said he doesn't need Jason sticking up for him either.
Howard said he heard that JD didn't want to pull clips from the show for them either. JD said he doesn't want to help them if they're going to bash him like that. Robin said that these channels pay his salary. JD said he knows that.
Shuli said he thought that JD was nominated for Douche of the Week every week. JD said he doesn't think that's true.
Howard played another clip where Jason told fans to unfollow JD because Howard has told him to shut down his account. Jason said that if you're a real fan then you should unfollow. Howard said that was kind of weird. JD said that he unfollowed Jason quietly and then Jon Leiberman went and told him. He said he didn't want to read about him being his boss and things like that. He said he just didn't want to deal with it. Robin said JD is very sensitive. Howard said he is involved in a lot of childish shit.
Howard played another clip where Teddy was talking about JD chewing his hands and making his fingers bleed. Howard said JD is kind of gross. Shuli said he's going to nominate him as being ''gross of the week.''
Howard was going to say something nice to JD but he was laughing. Howard asked why he was laughing. Howard told him to close his mouth and stop laughing. JD couldn't stop. Howard said he wanted to thank him... JD laughed. Howard said he's so goofy. Howard thanked JD for being there and putting in so many hours this week. He said he appreciates how hard he works. He said he felt it was important to let him know that. Howard told JD he can laugh now. Howard thought he was crying but JD said that was from his laughing.
Robin said JD doesn't expect to get applause for what he does. Howard said that's like Scott showing up to work tody and waiting for him to thank him. Howard said they needed every man they need but he knew not to depend on him. Howard said he knew there would be zero effort there.
,Howard said there are a lot of people writing him hate letters about talking to the guys about coming to work. Howard said all he did was say he was coming to work and they could do what they felt they had to do. Howard said he knows there are guys like JD who will just be there. Robin said that's because he knows his job and he wants to be there to do it. Howard said JD is beautiful.
Howard said he was looking at himself on Kimmel and he thinks he's just ugly. He said that Beth told him he looks fine but he knows he's not. Howard said he can see JD's beauty. He said he sees through the Cheetos shirt he wears every day. JD said he hasn't worn that in years. He said he doesn't fit in it anymore.
Howard said you can criticize him after you've done a radio show for 35 years and employed people during that time. Howard said he should go to a small market and get a radio show. Howard said he can build a career. He said if he's going to ride on his coattails then he can't criticize him.
Howard said Mike didn't come in on Monday or Tuesday and he's not that far from work. Howard said he was at home and he's there trying to entertain the audience. Howard said JD can criticize him if he wants. Howard said Letterman was criticizing those people but not on the air.
Howard said Letterman fucks his employees. He said he's such a great guy he fucks the interns. Howard said if Dave is so wonderful then get a job with him. Howard said that's his staff.

He said the company was closed and they didn't want anyone coming in. He said he went back and forth with Legal and they were only comfortable with the people who were in the city. Doug said that he beat the shit out of him for two days and he's speaking out of both sides of his mouth. Howard asked Doug if he protected his kids and wife on Monday.

Doug said there were no railroads on Monday. Howard said he didn't trash him so he can stop now. Doug said he wasn't able to get in on Tuesday. Howard said Doug could have taken a hotel room on Tuesday. He said he's fine with that. He said Doug took that option.
Robin asked Doug how he protected his family. Doug said that something could have happened. Robin said she would have gotten her family out if she was in that situation. Howard said Robin wanted to be home too but she came in. Howard said if you want to protect your family then get them out of that area. Doug said they were at home. Robin said he's acting like there's going to be danger. Doug said he has trees on his property. Howard asked Doug to leave. Howard said one of them is going to leave. Howard said if Doug thinks talking about trees and his house is fun to talk about then he can do a 4 hour show.
Doug said he wasn't going to be some rogue asshole by coming in when the company told him not to. Howard told Doug to get to work and get out of there. Howard said he apologizes if he doesn't agree with him. Doug said he did get a crew in there for Howard. He said they can't even cut shows because they have no power downtown.
Howard told Doug he's going to give him an award. Doug said he treats him like shit and he treats Gary like shit too. Howard asked if he has to stand up for Gary now.

Howard said he's sorry he didn't stay home and protect his wife. Shuli said he didn't either. Howard thanked Fred for coming in this week. Doug was on the remote microphone and still talking about all of that.
Howard said he's still afraid that a tree could fall on Doug's house. Howard told him he should get home. Fred played a car peeling out clip. Howard said Doug was down at ground zero on 9/11 taking pictures. He said that's very brave. He said he's like Jimmy Olsen. Shuli said that Doug was asking Robin what she did on that day. Robin said she stayed away from the area since she couldn't help. Howard said Doug had to be down there to take pictures.
Howard said he wasn't disappointed in Scott Salem at all. He said he did exactly what he expected him to do. Shuli said he should make a poster like that Malcolm X poster that says ''By Any Means Necessary'' and have Scott sitting with his feet up on the desk.
Fred read some of the things that Scott was posting during the storm. He had posted something about sitting by the window while his generator was running.
Howard said he did say to everyone that they didn't have to come in. He said he could do a show by himself. It might not be a great show but he could do it alone.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that the work ethic isn't like what Howard, Robin and Fred's is. He said ''fuck these people.'' Robin said they do have lives. Howard asked how he could say that after what Doug said. Fred did an impression of Doug that sounded like his Tom Chiusano impression.
The caller said that these people are being carried and they have no idea what it's going to be like in the real world. He said they won't get away with this shit. Howard said they'll sit around in a bar reminiscing about the good old days working for Howard Stern. Howard said that these guys think that he and Beth don't count because they have kids. Robin said Howard comes in there and makes sure they all have jobs there. Robin said they never think about that.

Howard said Richard rents an apartment and he still stayed home to protect the windows. Howard said Richard actually did make it into work today.
Howard said Richard doesn't have any kids so he shouldn't have stayed home according to what Doug said. Richard said he didn't want to leave the building and not be able to get back in. He said they opened it back up yesterday. Howard said if they shut it down it's because they were flooded. Richard said he wanted to stay there and make sure they don't get water damage. Howard said he wanted to do that too. Richard said he wouldn't have been able to get home during the storm. Howard said he's renting an apartment and the junk in there is worth about $10.

Eric said he had an Entenmann's chocolate cake too. Howard asked if his shit comes right out or does he have to push. Eric said it comes right out.

Howard said he called his parents and the phone was working gin the basement. Howard said the rest of the phones don't ring and they're hard of hearing. He said his mother needs a hearing aid. He said she just says ''what?'' when he tells her that. Howard said you should have heard her on the cell phone. Howard did an impression of his mother yelling into the cell phone. Howard said they won't even give him the number to that phone. Howard said they turn it off to save the power. Robin said they could do a number of things and leave it on for a certain time.

Howard asked Lisa if she sent her pictures to the book people. Lisa said she did send them to the publisher but she hasn't heard back yet.
Lisa said that Howard didn't explain how the Kimmel clan came in to see him last night. She said it was like a clown car and they were all walking in one by one.
Howard said he was at the Brooklyn Academy of Music to do the Kimmel show. Howard said first of all he doesn't know how to get anywhere. He said he's not even sure where he works. Howard said he is super embarrassed that he doesn't know his way around. Howard said he got lost jogging in Central Park the other day. He said he goes the same route every day. Howard said he told Beth he knew where he was but he really didn't.
Howard said it was big hassle getting to the Kimmel show. Howard said he had to go to the bathroom and he had to go up two flights to get there. Howard said he walked up and there was a men's room where there was a guy taking a shit. Howard said he won't pee at a urinal because someone might walk in and bother him. He said he was going to use the ladies room instead. He said there was a woman in there. He said he started having attitude so they cleared her out of there. He said that he had someone stand guard while he peed. Howard said he came back downstairs and walked into the dressing room. There were 12-15 people in the room and it was all of Jimmy's family. He said it's really weird.
Howard said he's not sure why it's okay for the family to just go into his dressing room. Howard said they were in there and they were all saying it's okay because it's Jimmy's family. Howard said he doesn't know Jimmy's family so it's not okay. Howard said he had to concentrate on what he was going to do before the show. Howard said he guarantees that Letterman wouldn't allow that.
Howard said he met Jimmy's mom and she's super hot. Howard said she's way too attractive. Howard said she's very young looking with big titties. Howard said she's very attractive. Howard said he expected some old bag to walk in. Howard said she was lounging in the dressing room. Howard said Jimmy's dad was there and looking very normal. Howard said he feels like his family is like the Munsters so he doesn't take them out. Howard said he saw this nice looking family and it was very strange. Howard said he would fuck Jimmy's mother. Robin let out an ''Oh!'' Howard said she's actually fuckable. Howard said she's a MILF.
Howard asked who let the family into the dressing room. Lisa said that it was his cousin but not his cousin Sal. Howard said everyone is family. Lisa said it was Uncle Frank's daughter who let them in. Howard said he's not being a snob but he just went through the apocalypse to get there.
Howard said he walked in and there were like 50 Kimmels there. Howard said next time Jimmy is there he's going to do the same to him. Howard said he's going to let like 50 people in to greet him.
Howard said Jimmy's father came in and they had aunts and uncles coming in and all of that. He said they were all perfect strangers. Howard said the mother and father were staring at him and he thought that he was supposed to entertain them or something. Howard said he told them that he loves their son. He said he was talking about how much he loves Jimmy's fiancee Molly and they said ''We do too.'' They didn't have a lot to say. Lisa said she heard all of this from outside of the dressing room. Howard said he ran out of things to say and Beth wasn't helping him out at all. He said he was all on his own with that.
Howard said that he walked into his dressing room for 5 minutes and all of these people piled in there. Howard said he tried making conversation but they really didn't say much. Howard said no one left the room even when he ran out of things to say. Howard said he didn't know what to do. Lisa said they were all leaning on the furniture. Howard said they were all getting comfortable. He joked that they were trying on his clothes. Howard said he's there for Jimmy and not for the family. Howard said he told the family that Jimmy is a great guy and he must have been raised by great people. Howard said he didn't know what to say after that. Howard said one of the cousins or aunts or uncles said that they should all go and they left. Howard said he's sure Letterman doesn't have that when he's there.
Howard said he's hoping that they all went over to Tracy Morgan's room. He said his cousin Sal came over again and he gave him a fist bump. He said he felt bad so he gave him a touch on the shoulder feeling bad he didn't shake his hand. He said he asked Sal if he works out because he didn't know what else to say.
Howard said he was trying to get in the spirit if the show but he doesn't know that it was the right time to meet the family. He said maybe at the wedding he could have said hello to them all.
Howard said he doesn't get the kind of action that Letterman gets. He said he's sure Dave doesn't have to go through that kind of nonsense. Howard said he told Jimmy on the show that familiarity breeds contempt. He said he wasn't sure he could get through the word ''Familiarity'' so he stopped himself. Howard said he was going to say it but he didn't think he could get through it... but then he did. Shuli said that he was having an argument with himself. Howard said he really was.
Robin asked if it was Howard's idea to switch seats. Howard said he did go over there to check out the set. He said that once he was there the stage director was only talking to him and not Jimmy. He said he had all of the power in that seat.
Howard said he really adores Jimmy and he's one of his dear friends. Howard said Beth is in love with Molly too. Howard said she talks about her every day like she's an angel. Howard said Beth loves Molly and she follows her on Twitter and all of that. Howard said that she really loves her. Howard said they have a nice friendship with them. He said it's like Rickles and Newhart. Howard said the only difference is that he's both Rickles and Newhart.
Howard said Jimmy is up to a lot of antics. He said they went on vacation with them once and Jimmy put on the staff outfit at the place they were staying and he was saying ''good day'' to everyone that walked by. He said it was pretty entertaining to watch but then he just went back to his hotel room to sleep.
Howard said that Jimmy has his hair filled in for his show. Lisa said that Jon Hein has that done for his TV show. Howard said he didn't know that. He wondered why Jon cares about his hair when he's so overweight. Howard saw Jon's press photo and said he looks like a Chia Pet. Howard said he has some facial expression too.
Gary told Howard that Beth just took credit for bringing the Kimmel family into the room. Howard said he should have known. Howard said he didn't know any of the family and he had nothing to talk to them about. Howard said he guarantees that Jimmy's family won't be bothering David Letterman.
Howard said Beth looked terrific there at the show. He said he should have banged her in the dressing room. Howard said he should have done it in front of the family. Howard said Beth wanted to sit in the audience to watch but they kept her in the dressing room.
Howard said Cousin Sal was there watching him talking to Jimmy's parents and eating popcorn. He said Sal was having a good time just watching. Howard said he has had Sal at his home. Howard said Jimmy told him that he was bringing someone to the house and he figured it was Clooney or Brad Pitt. He walks in with his cousin Sal.
Howard brought up Kevin Bacon again and said he deserves an Academy Award for that movie he mentioned earlier. Howard told JD to apologize to the Bacon family. JD was laughing and saying he didn't do anything wrong. Howard said that Kyra is crying in a corner somewhere because of what he said about that movie.
Howard said that Lisa was there at the show last night. Lisa said that she spoke to the family after they spoke to Howard. She said that Jimmy's mom was talking about how it melted her heart to meet Howard. Howard said she really is fuckable. Howard said he's going to put out a coffee table book with hot celebrity MILFs in it. Howard said he'd have Jimmy's mom spread eagle. Howard said that Lisa was there asking how he was feeling about going on Jimmy Kimmel. Howard said he felt great of course.
Howard said he heard that Tracy Morgan almost didn't show up because his sharks almost died. Howard said he mentioned that to Tracy and Tracy said he didn't know what he was talking about. He said his sharks didn't die.
Howard said he got a nice note from Sarah Silverman this morning. She said that the two of them together was so great. Howard said he thought that was very nice of her. Robin said she is a cool chick. Howard said Jimmy and Sarah just weren't meant to be. Howard said that Molly and Jimmy seem to be kismet. He said that Sarah must have known that there was a Molly out there for Jimmy. Fred played some piano music and Howard sang a song about letting the one you love go. Howard said somewhere out there is a Molly for Sarah.
Lisa said the show should be called the Jimmy Kimmels show because there are so many of them. Howard said that would annoy him if his whole family was at his show all the time. Howard said that he heard Jimmy's wedding is going to be like 500 people. Howard said he's not sure if he's going to go. Howard said he'd rather just sit and watch and giggle. Howard said he thinks they're doing a whole formal thing.
Robin asked if Jimmy has other siblings. Howard said he doesn't know. Lisa said she knows. She said she heard it all. Lisa told Howard about the family she met and heard about. She said there are apparently people who say they're cousin's but they aren't really related.
Howard said he's sure that Lisa will cover all of that in the news today. Lisa asked if she can get back to work. Howard said he wants to see her dance to hip hop. Howard asked what hip hop is. Fred played a 50 Cent song for them. Howard asked what she's doing because she doesn't appear to be doing anything. Lisa said you keep your feel still and it's all upper body. Howard tried it and Shuli even got up and danced.
Howard said he looks like a giant spider dancing. He said he can't do what Lisa is telling him to do. He said he's just so white. He thanked Lisa for the lessons and let her go. Shuli told her to take those fun bags out. Howard told him to stop it. He said you'll have to buy her book. Howard said he asked her not to credit him on the cover of her book for the photos he took. Howard said he enjoyed taking those photos. Howard said he would have liked to have done Robin's too. Robin said he was busy with AGT and they were in a rush so she didn't ask. Howard said he saw Robin's book cover and he really liked it.
Mariann said that she was showing her love for Howard but getting on camera is showing her embarrassment for herself. She said she brought a Howard fan in with her and she was treated like a queen there. She said they gave her a $100 gift certificate too. Mariann said that Letterman treats them like shit but Jimmy's people treated them very well. She said the whole thing was great. Howard hung up on her as she was describing how great the experience was.
Howard said he has to tell the story about Mariann coming up there with Bobo. Howard said they have a photo booth out in the lobby there. Howard said Sirius doesn't have a lot of money and somehow they went ahead and purchased a photo booth machine. Howard said of all the things they need there that's the last thing. Howard said he has to pay for everything they want there but they can afford a photo booth.
Howard said they got the photo booth and they told everyone that it was only for A-list celebrities to take photos. Howard said Ross allowed Bobo and Mariann to go in there and take a photo. Howard said Mariann and Bobo took a picture and didn't like it. They took a second one and Ross flipped out on them for taking more than one. Howard said he's not sure why Ross is yelling at his guests. Howard said they reamed them for that. Howard said it can't be that expensive to take a photo in the photo booth. Howard said they should get it the fuck out of there if they don't want people using it. Howard said he can't be shitting on his superfans.
Gary told Howard that Ross somehow knows when a photo is printed. Jason said that he has the printer in his office. Gary said this has come up a couple of times. He said that Jason was told not to go near the machine but Rob Corddry came up and insisted that Jason be in the picture with him. Jason said that it's supposed to be celebrities taking photos and they can press release them. Gary said that the woman who does the press releases doesn't have any access to them.
Howard said he doesn't want his guests being yelled at by Ross. Jason came in and said that machine is Ross' baby. He said it looks like fun and inviting but they don't let people use it. He said that Mariann was almost in tears after being yelled at. He said this isn't the first time Ross has yelled at Mariann either. He said that Ross grabbed her out of the line for a Town Hall and told her that ''this is not for you.'' Jason said that she has a ball there in their compound but then she gets yelled at out in the lobby.
Jason said that Mariann told him that Ross thought she had snuck up there and wanted to be part of the Town Hall. Howard said everyone hyper focuses on him there.
Jason said he got yelled at by Ross after he took a photo in the photo booth. He said they told him that he isn't talent even thought he sign said that it's for talent. Howard said that he'd like to know why they treat his staff like that. Jason said that they don't like him anymore. Jason said that they can't even book a studio anymore. He said it's very hard so they have to do GEEKTIME from a closet.
Howard played some of Bobo complaining about being yelled at. Howard told Sal and Richard to go out and take a picture of their cock and balls in the photo booth. Howard said that's the way they'll do things around there. Robin said that is the craziest place. Richard came in and said that he's all up for it but he doesn't want to get fired. Richard said they're not allowed to be nude in the lobby. Howard said they should bring that photo booth in there.
Sal said that he wants to spread his ass open for it. Howard told him to go do it. Richard said he's going to have his cock in his asshole. Howard told them to go do it. He said they can go do that and show Ross. Howard said they're back and better than ever.
Ronnie came in and said that the machine isn't on. He said they have to open it up and turn it on. He said you can't even turn it on now. Sal whipped his cock out and asked if he can't do this. Ronnie said he'll rip that thing right off. He whacked him with his walkie talkie. Howard told them to practice and not swallow it all. Robin asked when the machine gets turned on. Ronnie said they only turn it on when they have a town hall meeting there. Howard said he can't wait until Ross finds out what the next pictures are going to be.
Howard played Bobo's voice mail for Gary about Ross yelling at them. Bobo said they were up there to shoot some stuff for Howard TV. He said they saw the Photo Booth and they were told to stay away from it. He said they asked Ross if they could use it and Ross said they could take a picture. He said they set it up and took a couple of pictures. Then Ross came running down the hall screaming and yelling at them. Howard said they should get rid of that thing.
Gary said that security is out there and they won't let them fuck with the machine. Gary said that Mariann was so upset that she sent Ross $20 to cover the cost of the photos. Howard asked where Ross is anyway. Gary said he'll be in soon. Howard said that they really should get rid of that machine. He said he's not sure how they figure out who is an A-List guest. Howard said Sylvester Stallone would be allowed to use it but not Jim Florentine. Howard asked if Frank Stallone can use it if he comes in with Sylvester. Robin said if he's alone they won't let him use it. Howard said he's going send Chuck Zito in to take pictures and have him take 5,000 of them. Howard said he'd like to see Ross yell at Chuck Zito. Howard said he wants to see someone stop him. Gary said they can't even turn the machine on though.
Robin said that she heard that Tom Green was in the photo booth. Howard asked why they need it. Robin said she heard Jaime Lynn Siegler was in the booth and took 6 pictures. Robin said Victoria Justice took them too.
Jason said that Ross has yelled at him and he gets in your personal space. Howard told Jason to call him next time he yells at him. Jason said he hasn't yelled at him in over a year but he did call him unprofessional. Gary said he called him that for goofing on him on the Wrap Up Show. Gary said that Ross is a vice President and he thinks that he shouldn't be yelling at him.
Robin said that Bill Nye was allowed to take photos in the photo booth. Howard said they have to get Ross in there to tell them who is allowed to take a picture in there. Howard said he heard that the dog from the movie ''The Artist'' was allowed to take a picture in the booth. Howard told Jason to get someone in there whenever he gets a chance. He said they should take homeless people and throw them in there. Howard said he's going to buy one and compete with that one. Gary said they'll say ''all welcome.''
Jason asked if they can banish Ross from the bathroom back there again. Howard said they have to hear his side of the story. Howard said that the tides are shifting there so they should be on good behavior. Howard said they can keep fist bumping him. Howard said he always wins there. He said that he will win again.
Gary said he once had an executive who was shorter than him get into his personal space by getting on a couch. He said he anted to put his finger in his face so he got up on a couch and started poking him in the face. Gary said he started to walk out the door and the guy was trying to block him so he hip bumped him into the couch. Howard said he and John Hayes came to blows one time. Gary said he was there for that. He said it was very weird.
Howard and Gary talked about the time he was fired by John Hayes. they were supposed to be fired the Friday before they were fired. There was a hurricane that Friday and Howard came into work while management stayed home. Howard was bashing them on the air and then the following Monday they were fired.

Robin said they plan to execute a guy on Halloween in Texas. Robin said they'll probably end up making a movie about that. Robin said this guy is scheduled to die by lethal injection tonight in Pope County. Howard said that really does sound like a movie.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that they had hurricane coverage last night in Pittsburgh so he didn't get to see the Kimmel appearance. Howard said that's too bad. He said he did think about that when he was doing the taping. He said the show was on there in New York though.

Bobo brought up the Ross and photo booth thing so Howard told him they're off of that now.

Howard said these assholes sue because they're embarrassed. Jason said that it's his fault that he's fat so he accepts that. Jason said they took all of the brochures at the hotel and they ended up chucking most of them. Jason said he was probably at his heaviest when he got married. He said that his wife knew what she was getting into. He said his wife started gaining weight and she noticed that so she started eating healthier. He said he eats a lot less junk food now. Jason said he's not dieting but he's trying to eat like a normal person. He still can't go horseback riding though.
Gary said he saw a guy on an airplane who refused to take a seat belt extender even though he wasn't able to get his belt buckled. He said he fought it until he finally got it buckled.
Shuli said he worked at the airport pushing people around in wheelchairs and most of them were just fat. He said they would ask him to swing by Burger King on the way to the gate. Then they'd give him a quarter as a tip.
Robin said that the clocks are getting set back this weekend. Robin had to explain to Howard that he was gaining an hour of sleep. Howard said he can't figure out the simplest things.
Robin said that the Jaguars are trying to get Tim Tebow. Robin said they were trying to go after someone else and that was unsuccessful.
Robin said that Rod Stewart has put out a Christmas CD. Howard said that smells like a guy who isn't desperate. Robin had some of his music and Howard said it sounds like Gange singing. Howard did his impression of Gange singing the same song.
Robin had some audio of Don Cheadle talking about his new movie. Howard lasted about 3 seconds with that. Howard got back to his Rod Stewart/Gange impression.
Robin read about Taylor Swift's new special that's coming up. Robin had some audio of her singing one of her songs on Dancing with the Stars.
Robin asked Howard what's going to happen with newspapers. Howard said the newspaper will always have a place in their society. Howard said there will be one in each city. Robin said that they say they're down overall for the same period in 2011. Howard said that dogs need newspaper to shit on. Howard said there is still a need for that experience. He said you need to hold that in your hand and feel it. Howard said he reads CNN and all of that but he thinks that newspaper will be around for a long, long time. Howard said as he said that 5 newspapers closed.
Robin wrapped up and Howard said he wanted to talk to Ross about the photo booth thing. Howard said that Robin won't be part of that because she has an appointment to get to. Howard read a live commercial after that. Howard thanked Shuli for sitting in this week.
Ross told Howard that the photos are a dollar a piece. He said they have budgets around there. He said he told Mariann and Bobo to take one each. He said they were going back and forth taking pictures. He said he came out and said he felt bad that they wanted to take pictures. He said he told them to take one but they took advantage. Ross said that it's not just A-list celebrities.
Ross said that if Frank Stallone came in he could take a picture. He said that he would love to let the employees to be able to take photos but if they run out of paper and a celebrity will take a shot then they're out of luck. He said that they have some celebrities take shots and they use it as a shtick there. Ross said that there is no conspiracy there. He said any guest who comes on the airwaves is allowed to use the photo booth.
Howard asked Jason what happened to him. Jason asked Howard to tell Ross to be this rational all the time. He said Mariann was the one in tears when he saw her. Ross said he thought he was reasonable with her. He said he did feel bad when he said he had to treat them like children. Howard asked Jason why he got yelled at. Jason said Ross came out yelling about how it was for talent and guests only. Jason said he is talent and then Ross told him he's not talent. He said they even changed the sign after that.
Ross said that Jason came in the first day it was there and he was trying to get them under control. Jason said he yelled at Brian Phelan too. Ross said that was the same day. Jason said this Ross on the air is a different guy. He said this is the Ross he would like. He said he has seen Ross yell at people on top of desks before.
Howard had Bobo on the line and he said that Ross embarrassed them in front of everyone and he reduced Mariann to tears. Bobo said that he didn't say just take one picture. He said they took a couple and he didn't know that was going to put Sirius in the red. Howard said that they don't know that they can only take one. Howard said the better thing to do would be to just tell them that it's expensive to take pictures and ask them to please stop.
Howard said Ross is a hot head. Ross asked Bobo if he should have just walked away when Mariann said she wanted to take one picture. Howard said he's not sure why they need a $10,000 photo booth. Jason said they have a step and repeat thing where people get their pictures taken. Ross said they felt it was something for people to do there.
Mariann called in and said that Ross said ''take a picture'' and she didn't know that he meant just one. She said Ross treated her like shit that time and also the time Chris Martin was there in the fish bowl. Mariann said that she was told by someone who was with Chris Martin that she could take a picture with him and Ross pulled her out of the line.
Ross said that no one from Chris Martin's camp told him it was fine. Mariann went off on Ross about that. Ross changed the subject to Chris Martin again and Ross said she's right and this isn't worth arguing over.
Mariann said that she brought sandwiches up there for Ross and he took some. Mariann asked if she said take one or not. Ross said that he took one. He said he didn't take more than one. She said that Ross is a phony and he's not nice. She said that he pulled her off that Chris Martin line and that wasn't right. She said she will never speak to him again because he's nasty and he doesn't treat her with respect.
Mariann said that the booth should be open for the staff and everyone there instead of the 99 cent stuff they have hanging up there.
Bobo asked why they spent the money on that booth and not on Howard's phone system. Howard told Ross how he could have handled this situation. He said that people don't know. Ross said he told them that they should take ''a picture'' but he's very sorry for the whole thing. Ross said that there was more to the Chris Martin thing than Mariann knows.
Howard asked if he's sorry he put in the photo booth. Ross said he's not at all. Howard asked Ross if he can see what's going on in the photo booth from his office. Ross said someone else told him about it getting out of hand. Howard thanked Ross and let him go. Howard said he's still his friend. He said that he's slimmed down and looking good too. Howard said this has been an exhausting week. He said he hopes everyone is safe and sound. Howard wrapped up and ended the show around 10:30am.

Gary said that he didn't sleep last night. He said he felt like there was a giant boulder on his chest. He said he isn't looking for arguing.
Gary said that they're not taking sides in all of this. He said he's not sure how to handle that kind of thing. Benjy said that Howard said he didn't hold it against them but he does seem to have a problem with it.
Benjy said that one thing he got out of it is that he doesn't care about it as much as Howard does. He said it's not that big of a deal to him. He said that Howard cares about this show so much and it's like his life and death thing.
Jon said that Howard was in the city and it was easier for him to come in but the thing that got under his skin was people saying that he doesn't get it. Gary said he regretted saying that they don't have the same circumstances. Gary said what he was trying to say is that he should put himself in the same circumstance. Gary said Howard has family but they're not at a house on Long Island or Connecticut. He said he just wanted him to understand his circumstance.
Jon asked if Howard would have been there if he was in that situation. Gary said he thinks he would but it might be a harder decision.
Jon called Ross over and said he felt he handled himself very well with the photo booth thing. Jon said that it's no secret that he and Jason despise one another. He said they were very civil. Gary said that he wasn't like Robo Ross and it wasn't as much fun on the air as the old Ross. Ross said he didn't hear the story earlier in the show so he wasn't sure who started it.
Gary said that Bobo left a voice mail and then Jason came in and gave a short history about the booth and who was allowed to go in it or not. Then Bobo called in and said that he should take anger management classes.
Jason said he likes getting the Howard Stern treatment. He said that Ross can get loud but today he was treated with respect and that's how he imagines that he treats Howard. Jason said he just wants to be treated nicely.
Ross asked why Jason wasn't there yesterday. Jason said he wasn't able to get into the city. Ross said that they take shots at him for not coming in on Fridays and he's just wondering why Jason wasn't there since he doesn't have a family to take care of. Jason said that he disagrees with him.
Gary asked if Ross' wife is his family. Ross said she is and he'd like to retract that. Ross said that he should have stepped up and been there. Jason said he will always choose his wife and family over the show. He said he felt his wife needed him more than the show did. He said if Howard has a problem with that then he can take it up with him.
Gary said that Ross is very calm today. Jason said this must be the Ross that Howard hangs out with. Jason said he has seen Ross on a table yelling at people. Ross said that was one time and he was on the speaker phone and he got up on the table and yelled. He said he was sitting on the edge of the table and he got up and got closer to the phone and thought that he should get up crawl on the table.
Jason asked if he's on some kind of antidepressants. Ross said he's not on anything at all. Gary was kind of intrigued about Ross' behavior too. They had to go to break after that.
Jon said that it comes down to people not wanting to let Howard down. Jon said if you physically can't get in there then they feel that it's going to be held against you down the road. Ross said that when you let someone down you always wonder about that.
Gary asked if they think that any of this is a bit. Jason said he thinks it is. He said Howard keeps dragging it on and on. He said if Howard looks at the guys who showed up like JD and Steve, they have no family. He said Howard lives in town and the other guys don't have a wife or kids at home. Gary said Shuli has a kid and lives outside of the city. Jason said that Shuli is desperate for a job and he left home with tears in his eyes on Sunday.
Gary said by Tuesday morning the storm had kind of passed. He said on Sunday night he left home with a bag packed. He said if he had stayed in the city there was a very good chance that he wouldn't get home until Wednesday. Ross said that Gary is like the best parent on the staff. He said that Howard knows deep down that his wife and kids are going to come first. Gary said that he's not a poseur and he didn't just do this for the storm. He thinks that's what Ross is trying to say.
Ross said that the other guys could have stepped up and showed Howard what they could do. Jason said Howard gives him accolades on the show every day. He said that if Howard said he wanted him to be there then it would have been a different conversation. Jason said Howard didn't say they couldn't do the show without him. Ross said if he's next in line for the throne then he should be there for Howard. Jason said if Howard said he needed him to be there then maybe he would have had a longer talk with his wife. He said that he wanted to be around his wife and at home and not in a hotel room. Jason said he would have had to bring his wife and pets to stay in the hotel with Will and his wife and child. That's what he was told.
Jason said that he's accused of being a kiss ass all the time and he wasn't going to come in that day. He said that he's in Hoboken and it's a disaster area there except in the 3 block area of his home. Jason said he couldn't leave his wife at home alone. He said Shuli must have a stronger constitution than he does.
Jon moved on to talk to Richard and asked about what Howard was saying about how disappointed in him Howard was. Richard said Howard seems disappointed in him a lot of the time. Gary said that they would all probably say that Howard was most disappointed in them. Richard said Howard thinks he's kind of retarded anyway. Jon said that Robin was really going off on him today. Richard said he said the wrong thing and made her angry. Richard said he was going to try and just say he was sorry but then he defended himself and it backfired.
Gary said Robin seemed angrier about it than Howard. Richard said Robin once said that no one would care if he died. He said he's used to being ripped into by her. Gary said that Robin was so angry. Scott DePace said that she has venom about this. He said that maybe money does come into it. He said that some of them are very protective of their stuff. He said if Robin's home washed away then she'd just buy another one.
Jason said that he could be there for his wife and hold her hand when the power goes out. Jason said that Robin has a lot of opinions about people who have loved ones but maybe she should find a loved one before she goes off on them about that.
Gary said that he was home and the lights started smoking. He said he was there for that and that's why. He said they weren't in any danger but he was there to tell his wife that the lights popping weren't dangerous. He said that he was there to comfort her.
Doug Goodstein said that they were told that the safest place was at home. Doug said he has two little kids and you need a parent for each of them. He said that's why he was home.
Jon said they could have brought their kids into the city. Scott asked why Jon was let off the hook. Jon said he wanted to be with his family. He said he made that decision to be home.
The guys were talking about Robin's perspective and how she was trying to paint them as people who wanted to take a day off. Gary said he doesn't think that anyone in that room wanted to do that. Jason said he worked yesterday from home. He said he logged the show until his phone ran out of power.
Gary said that they don't get a lot of days off there. He said that Jon worked on a pretty holy holiday. Jason said he did too. Richard said today is a religious holiday for him but he's working.
Gary said that he realized that he had to get out of the neighborhood around 11 yesterday. Gary said there are 3 large trees down in front of his house. He said he had to go around a low hanging wire to get around that. He said he had to get his car under the wire so he had his son Lucas holding the wire up while he drove under it. Jon said that might hurt his ''best parent'' status on the show. Scott asked if Howard would go under that wire. Gary said no. Scott said he had to drive under a falling tree and if he had hit a branch it could have fallen on his car.
Jason said he had to spend $70 on a cab to get to work this morning. He said that's almost as bad as a tree falling on him.
High Pitch Mike came in and said that he works for Sirius radio so he doesn't work for Howard. He wanted to remind Howard of that. Gary said Doug doesn't work for Howard though. He works for In Demand. Mike said that Howard doesn't know a lot about a lot of the people there. He said he cares for a child during the week and Howard doesn't know that. Mike said he has other things than just this show. He said not everyone knows he has a kid at home.
Gary said that he would give Mike a word of advice. He said when you start tweeting it then it can get out of hand. Mike said he'll get rid of it then. Jason said if Gary is encouraging him to get rid of Twitter then he should get rid of it.
Gary said that Tweeting something like that out is out of their world. Mike said that the shows they did on Monday and Tuesday could have been done on a Thursday and Friday. Gary said Howard does shows when he wants to do the shows. Mike said that they shouldn't be ridiculed and slammed for not coming in when they don't come in. Gary said that's fair for him to say there but maybe keep it off of Twitter. Jason said that's what he'd advise too. They ended the show a short time later around 11:15am.
