Howard started the show saying good morning to Robin and Fred. He even said good morning to Benjy. Howard said now he can feel included.
Howard said they're very busy today. He said they have Gary and Scott DePace's kids coming in to play Who Knows Their Kid Better. Howard said he has the feeling Scott is going to lose. Howard said Gary knows everything about his kids. He said he may even know more about Scott's kids than Scott does. Howard said he's not saying Scott is a bad dad but he gets very competitive. Howard said he'll say to Gary that he's like the best dad an Scott will hear that and say that he's a great dad too. Scott said he said that to Gary. He said Gary told him that he golfs too much so he's not a great dad.
Howard said Gary will be with his kids when it's good for them. He said Scott will be with his kids when it's good for him.
Howard asked Scott if his hands shaking is getting worse. Scott said it is pretty bad but he's doing like 8 things in there. He said it's not Parkinson's either. He said it's called Essential Tremors.
Gary came in and said that someone suggested that they bring their pets in to see whose is smarter and Scott said that his dog is smarter than his. Scott said he's just kidding around about that and Gary gets upset. Gary said it's only when he says something that he'll bring that up. Scott said he's just joking around about it and Gary gets so upset. Scott said he's seen Gary's dog and it pees on the floor.
Howard said Scott's son, Kyle, is there and so is Gary's son Lucas. Howard said they're going to find out who the better dad is. Gary said that makes Scott crazy. Howard said he knows that. He said Scott will complain that it's not fair or that it was fixed. Gary said that he will have to say that he's a much better father than he is to calm Scott down.
Scott said he knows his kid and he's right over his shoulder. He asked Kyle if he knows him. Kyle said they talk a lot and he does know him. Howard said that poor kid. Howard asked if Kyle gets a word in. Kyle said he listens a lot. Fred said it's like Stockholm syndrome.
Howard asked Lucas if he thinks he'll win this. Lucas said he thinks the Dell'Abates will take this one. Scott said he's wrong. Robin asked if Scott and Lucas have played games together. Gary said that was actually with Jackson. Scott said he shot him in the head and in the back in Halo. Howard asked Kyle if he thinks that's weird. Kyle said that he plays against him online too. They have two xBoxes so they can play at the same time.
Howard said they're going to play this game in the 7 o'clock hour. He said they'll put and end to this argument.
Sal came in and said everyone has had a moment in their life that was like that. He said there are no coincidences. He said if you think you see something that had to do with a guardian angel or something then it's true. Howard asked what he's talking about. Howard said everyone wants to keep a straight face when they're pitching things like this but it's hard.
Sal said he's trying to find his guardian angel. Howard said there isn't one for him. Howard asked why he's looking for one. Sal said we all have one. Howard asked how he knows that. Sal said that Theresa (The Long Island Medium) mentions it in her book. Howard said these are people who are looking for something in their life and you're never going to find it. Howard said people think they can have super powers but no one does. Howard said his aunt died when he was little and he thought she was looking down on him but she's just not there.
Howard asked Sal how he can get up and say this stuff to people. Sal said he thinks everyone has had something like this happen to them. He said when he was 15 his bed levitated. He said his nose was 5 inches from the ceiling and he was about 15 years old at the time. He said he looked at the ceiling and his bed went crashing down to the floor. He said he ran to his mom and told her what happened. Sal said his sister heard the bed crash down. Howard said there were no witnesses to this. He said he had a dream and that's it. Howard insisted that this did not happen. Sal said these things do happen and people have a connection. Howard Sal has tried to be famous in his life and this is just another way to get noticed.
Howard said people like Pat Robertson pray on people like Sal. Howard asked where the clip of Robertson was from this weekend. Howard said Pat Robertson sits there talking about Jesus and then he makes a comment like this. Howard played the clip and Pat was asked why he never prays for people to grow limbs back like he does for shrinking tumors. Pat Robertson says they have had stories about things growing back and things like that happen. Howard said none of this happens. He said there is no proof.
Sal said he doesn't believe in that stuff. He said this is all organized religion. He said anything is possible but what happened to him was not a dream. Robin asked if anything in Sal's room was disturbed from his bed falling to the floor. Sal said no.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that Sal should have his own show. He said he's great. Howard said he only has a few little gems like this that come out.
Robin said she's heard people say that they had relatives visit and all she thought was that they made it up. Sal said that's what he's saying. He said when you hear something on the radio then it's a message from a loved one. Sal said he doesn't believe in Pat Robertson and all of that garbage. He said that stuff is ridiculous.
Howard said sometimes he thinks he's having a reasonable discussion with Sal off the air but then he talks about this stuff. He asked if this is an act. Sal said Howard is so enlightened and he wouldn't be so miserable if he just believed in this stuff. Sal said he just believes in the afterlife. He said that's all it comes down to.
Sal said he just wanted to see if there was a connection and that's why he was reading this book. Howard asked Sal if he thinks that maybe it's his low IQ. Sal said absolutely not. He said he doesn't have a low IQ. It was just in this vicinity that he had a low IQ. Howard said Sal is floating around the studio right now. He said that his head is bald from slamming into the lights.
Howard asked if he's given any money to the Long Island Psychic. Sal said he has not. Howard said he should pay her to tell him who lifted him. Sal is friends with her. Howard said he should ask her why that happened. Howard said she'll go into a trance and tell him.
Howard told Sal he has some abilities. He looked at him and said he could see what was lifting the bed. Fred played some eerie music and Howard said he could see Sal on the bed at 15. He asked the spirit world why he went up in the air that day. Howard waited for the answer. Nothing was happening. Howard said it's because God realized he wanted Sal back because he was a mistake. Howard said he was trying to get him back when the bed fell. Sal said this is why he never should have spoken about this. He said he had the balls to bring it up and then this happens.
Howard said even Sal's dopey friend Richard doesn't believe in this shit. Howard and Fred did their impressions of Richard talking about that. Sal said something has happened to Howard and he refuses to talk about it. Howard said nothing has happened. Howard said the only thing that happened to him is Sal. Howard asked if he hit his head a lot as a child. Sal said his dad did slam his head into a meat locker a few times. He said one time his dad smashed his finger because of him so he slammed his head into the locker.
Howard said Sal talked about his beauty regimen last week on the Wrap UP Show. Howard said he talked about using Rogaine first thing in the morning. Then he puts cream on his eyes to cover up his racoon eyes. Howard said you have to hear this clip. Howard said kids made fun of his racoon eyes when he was in school. Howard said there were stains on the ceiling from all of that when he was 15.
Howard played the clip from last Wednesday's Wrap Up Show where Sal talked about using his Aveeno cream and all of that stuff. Howard was goofing on Sal about screwing up the ''Colloidal'' oatmeal thing. Howard played more of the audio and goofed on what Sal was saying.
Howard asked Sal if he has hair plugs. Sal said he doesn't and then bent over to show them. Howard said he hardly has any hair. Sal said he thinks that having shorter hair covers up the bald spots better.
Howard played more of the audio where Sal talks about being called Racoon Boy as a child. He said that was embarrassing so he had an insecurity about his eyes and now he covers that up.
Howard said Sal talked about getting tanning spray all over the walls. He also gets hair spray on the walls so now he runs down the hall spraying it so it doesn't get on the walls. Howard said Sal is a married guy and he doesn't need to do all of this. Sal said he wants to look good. Howard asked if he has a girlfriend. Sal said he has been doing some movies and stuff. He said he did one a couple of weeks ago. Howard said he's doing this all for film roles. Sal said he's trying to look young. He said he just turned 44.
Howard asked what kind of role this was. Sal said he played a gas station attendant. He said it's a Friday the 13th kind of movie. He said he did all of his make up and then they did make up on him and made him look like crap again.
Howard played a clip of Sal talking about how he makes up his face. Howard wondered how long that takes. Sal said he has it down to a science. It's not that long for him. Howard said it makes him feel weird that he hired him. He said it's like he's retarded. Sal said he just has a ritual to make himself look better. Howard asked if it's true he had to check his luggage to get through the airport. Sal said that is true. He said he brings a bottle of Aveeno that's too big to bring in carry on luggage.
Howard said he doesn't follow Eric but people CC him on them. Howard said Jim McClure was reading some of his tweets in a meeting and they were great. Howard read some of his tweets and Eric was upset about someone saying that he doesn't get cum on his glasses. He also curses a lot. Eric was upset about being called a midget in another one. There was one where he was saying he isn't delusional.
Howard said people just say things to get him to write back. Eric said he knows that. Howard read another tweet about how he doesn't collect pubic hair. He had one where he got upset about people accusing him of wearing diapers. Sal said he knows he saw a diaper on him. Eric said Sal needs to get his eyes examined. Howard asked Sal if he's telling the truth. Sal said he's just fucking with him.
Robin asked if he types this stuff himself. Eric said he does it on his iPad. Sal said he runs over the keyboard with his wheelchair. Eric said he uses the on screen keypad on his iPad. Howard said he just yells at people all day. Howard said Eric will yell at people about not doing things that they accuse him of. Howard said people read all of that and that's why they keep saying it. Howard asked if he does this to defend himself for girls to see. Eric said he guesses so.
Gary said Eric got upset last night when someone said he was a jinx for the Oakland A's. He said that he was saying that without him then they wouldn't be in the playoffs. Eric said all he was saying was that he isn't a jinx because if he was then they wouldn't be in the playoffs.
Howard said you can say anything you want to this guy and Eric will defend himself. Howard said someone said that he has a lazy eye and he defended himself saying that he doesn't have a lazy eye.
Gary said JD told him that someone accused him of being on Mama's Family and Eric even got upset about that. Howard said someone accused him of being gay and Eric freaked out on that guy. Then someone wrote that he was a bug eyed toad and he told that guy to go fuck himself. Howard asked if he has to answer everyone. Eric said no. Robin asked if he thinks people are going to believe he's a bug eyed toad.
Howard said it doesn't matter what you say to him. He said that he'll defend it. Howard said people get on him about losing to Jeff the Drunk in the acting thing too. Howard said someone accused him of having tits and he defended himself in that one too. Howard said Eric writes back to just about everyone. Howard said he tells everyone to fuck off. Eric said that someone keeps saying that he's going to die alone, broke and miserable and not be mourned. Howard asked why he would write him back. Eric said he doesn't know. He said he feels like fighting back with him. Robin said he says that makes him upset though.
Howard said if someone said that stuff to him he'd just think that they don't know him. Sal said his IQ must be a lot lower than his. He said that he knows he'll be mourned. Howard said Sal is excited that he can goof on someone.
Robin asked Eric if he's ever had his bed lift off the floor. Eric said no. Howard said he has the number of tweets Eric has written. He asked if they think it's over 10,000 or under 10,000. Robin said she was thinking it was around 10,000. She said under. Sal said he thinks it's over. Fred thought it was over. Howard said it's over 22,000 tweets. Robin said ''Oh my goodness Eric.'' Howard said that's a lot of tweets. Howard said almost every one of them has ''you dumb fuck'' in them. Eric said that he writes to people and he'll get harassed about that. Fred started to do his impression of Eric where he says one word at a time with a pause in between.
Howard said someone must have called Eric a Brony and that set him off. Howard read Eric's response to that too. Eric was saying that they're all sick in the head and everyone can go fuck themselves. Howard said all of that cursing shows that he has a poor command of the language. Sal said he's probably changing his diaper right now. Eric said no. Eric said the other reason he called was to talk about the contest last week. Eric said he wanted to show he has no ill will toward losing to Jeff. He said he asked Johnny to start a Kickstarter account... Howard cut him off and said he had to go. Robin asked why he would be starting a Kickstarter account. Howard had no idea. Howard said the good thing is that you can hang up on Eric when you get tired of talking to him. Howard said Robin can call him off the air if she wants to.
Howard got back to Sal and asked if he thinks about how other people there should be doing things. Sal said he thinks people there look better than him. He said even Benjy looks somewhat decent. Howard asked what he could do with his blotchy skin. Sal said the Aveeno might help.
Sal said Benjy's face looks like ass rash. He said he uses the Aveeno on his ass rash and he thinks that might work for Benjy's face. Benjy said his face is fine right now. He said it's caused by dry skin. Sal said it works for his ass rash so it should work for Benjy's face. Howard said he had to take a break a short time later.

Howard came back and sang along with the Cat Stevens song. He said he kind of knew some of the words. Robin said that's sad that he knows that song. Howard said they're doing the Father and Son game now so that's why Fred played that.
Howard said Scott and Gary are always arguing about something. Gary said the truth is that he'll say something and Scott will argue with him. Scott said that he wasn't the one who threw this challenge down. He said Gary did. Howard said Scott is the only one who challenges anyone there.
Howard asked Scott's son Kyle if he argues with a lot of people like this. Kyle said he argues with his brother about movies and stuff. Scott said he's the hard liner and his wife is not. He said she'll give in and he'll be the one who says they have to watch a movie or something. He said last night they had Chili for dinner and his son wanted the lime flavored chips but he didn't want to open the other bag. Gary asked what would happen if he gave in and opened the other bag. Scott said he makes a bad father if he does that. He said his son was whining a little bit so he ridiculed him a little. He said his wife agreed with him this time. He said that she told him no whining.
Howard told Kyle to blink once if he wants out of the house. He said it looks like he did so he's getting him out of there.
Howard asked Kyle if it was going to be so bad if he opened the chips. Kyle said his brother said that the other chips hurt his mouth. Scott said they're practically the same thing. Howard said they are to Scott but maybe not his son Derek. Howard said maybe he could be different in his house than his parents were.
Howard asked Scott if he likes some chips more than others. Scott said he does. He said he might like the regular ones over the lime flavored. Howard said maybe he could have opened the other bag and let him have what he prefers. Howard asked Kyle what he thinks. Scott told him to get on a phone to a child psychologist to ask who is right in this. Howard said he doesn't think he has to fight this fight. Gary said fighting over chips isn't the thing to choose a fight over. Scott said he's learning not to fight him on things. Howard asked how he's going to learn his own way.
Scott asked Lucas if he ever does yard work. Lucas said he does use the leaf blower now and then. He said they have someone who cuts their lawn.
Howard asked Kyle about what he had for dinner last night. He had mini hot dogs. Howard said he got to have what he wanted.
Howard said it seems like Kyle's microphone isn't on. Howard had Scott the engineer come in to talk about that. Scott said he's trying to figure it out from out there. Howard pointed out that he's in the middle of eating too.
Howard asked if he just turned the microphone on. Scott said one channel is bad so he took that one out and used the good one. Howard told him to go back and finish his breakfast. Howard said you'd think he'd come in earlier when you can't hear the kid. Howard asked what's going on around there. Howard asked Lucas if he's ever seen anything like this. Lucas said he hasn't. Howard said he's too nice and keeps everyone around.
Howard said they test the microphones before they do the segment and this still happens. DePace said that his headphones are cutting in and out and distracting him. Gary said his are too. Howard did his impression of Scott the Engineer and goofed on him for a minute.
Howard started the game and had Fred play the intro. Howard said hello to Gary and said he's there with his son Lucas. Howard said the sponsor is from CedarCide.com.
Howard said Lucas thinks his dad is a good dad. Howard said Lucas is in the 10th grade and asked how that is. Lucas said he's having a good time. Howard said he likes to spin records too. Howard said that he likes music that black people make. Gary said he's listening to EDM lately. He said it's all Swedish people that make that stuff. Lucas does Deejaying and he makes a few bucks doing that. Gary said he was a roadie for him for him last year and he got around $500 to do a private gig. Lucas does some stuff at school too.
Howard said he heard that Lucas was thinking of becoming Jewish a few years ago. Lucas said his friend's mother got him into that and he did think about it. He said he isn't into that now. Howard asked if he wanted to sing with him. Fred played a song and Howard gave him a little song. Howard said that's a tough song to learn. Lucas said that was just a short term phase.
Howard asked if he was raised Catholic. Gary said he hasn't really been raised as anything. Scott asked if he was baptized. Gary didn't remember. Lucas said he didn't remember either.
Howard said the game today is who knows their son better. Howard asked Lucas if he thinks they'll win. Lucas said he does.
Howard moved over to Scott DePace and his son Kyle. Howard asked if Kyle feels competitive. Kyle said he odes. Howard asked why his mic still isn't working. Howard had him talk into another one that worked. Howard asked what's going on there. He said he was going out of his mind there. Howard said Kyle is right on the mic and he sounds like he's not. Howard said he's not sure why he has to put up with this.
Howard said he has been at this game way too long. Howard asked Kyle what grade he's in. He's in 7th grade. Howard asked how that's going. Kyle said ''medium.'' Scott interrupted and said that he's doing great in school. Howard asked what his favorite subject is. Kyle said he likes math. Howard said he's still struggling with math himself. Howard asked Scott what he does on the show. Scott said he's a director. Howard asked Kyle if he knows what his dad does. Kyle said he directs things. Scott said that his kids don't ask what he does. He said they see Howard on TV and they know that's the guy who he works with.
Kyle said his dad gives really long answers and he doesn't like to listen to him. Even Scott laughed about that.
Howard asked if Scott is approached by fans on the street. Scott said it only happens once or twice a year. Lucas said there are guys yelling out Baba Booey and things like that when they go out to a baseball game or something. Howard asked if it confused him as a kid when he was growing up. Lucas said he had no idea what they were saying to him. Howard said he heard that he isn't allowed to listen to the show. Lucas said he's not but if he was anyone else then he probably could listen. Gary said that there are things that he doesn't want him to know about him.
Scott asked if he ever called his dad Baba Booey. Lucas said he has done that a few times when he was younger. He said he was just kidding about that though.
Howard asked Lucas if he's ever listened to the show on his own. Lucas said he has found out some stuff that he probably shouldn't have. Scott asked if he found out about his father's foot fungus. Lucas said they're very aware of that already. Gary said he's on the 7th medication in 10 years. Howard said that fungus will stand up to anything. Gary said that he went to CVS to get this medication and it was $1100. Lucas said his name should be Fafa Fungus. Howard got a laugh out of that.
Howard said it's time to play the game. Howard asked Kyle if he's afraid that his father is going to steal his hair. Kyle said some nights he's more scared than others. Howard said he has pretty long hair. Scott said it's too long and his other son's is very short. He said he lets him make his own decision on that though.
Scott said he has told his kid that some day he has this to look forward to. Howard asked if his wife's father has a full head of hair. Scott said he does. Howard said Kyle will keep his hair then. Kyle said that's good news. Howard said he should taunt him with that hair. Scott said his other son does that at the dinner table.
Howard said he's going to ask Gary and Scott to leave the room now. He's going to ask the kids various questions and they'll have to match with their dads.
Howard asked the kids questions like...
After asking the questions they had Gary and Scott come back in. Howard went through the questions with them. Here's what the dad's answers were:
After the game Scott was upset about the last answer. He said that most shows would have them give an answer. Gary said his answer was that he's never been in trouble. Howard said both dads did equally well. Howard said it was a weird last question since Scott did say that his son doesn't really get in trouble. Gary said he thought he was pretty stellar. Howard said both dads were pretty great. Gary said that he's the loser though because Scott did better than they thought he would.
Howard said because they were so close he won't make Scott read the statement about Gary being the better dad. Scott said he'll just say that he is just as good a dad as Gary is. Gary said he was one point better than Scott in the IQ test and he was one point better in this game. Scott said he'll admit that. Howard asked the kids if they think that this is kind of juvenile. Lucas said he thinks that he and Kyle are more mature than their dads.
Howard said the kids won $250 for playing. Howard asked what they're going to do with the money. Kyle said he wants to buy something like a laptop or something. Howard said that will be tough to find. Scott said a Google Chromebook is $250. Howard wasn't aware of that. Scott said they have them in school. Howard said he thinks that he'd have fun in school now. Scott said he's not all for the Apple stuff. He said they're dumbed down products. Howard asked Kyle if he isn't allowed to have an Apple product. Kyle said he has an iPod Touch. Scott said when he asks him questions about it he doesn't want anything to do with it. Lucas said he thinks that he's forcing his beliefs on his kids.
Howard asked Lucas what he's going to do with the $250. Lucas said he'll put it in the bank or buy some DJ equipment. Howard wrapped up and started to go to break but Scott had one more question. He asked Lucas if his dad taught him how to pitch. Lucas said he did and he's pretty good. Gary said his pitch was a bad moment for him. Lucas said he was catching for his dad before he did that pitch. Howard said that's enough of that. He said Scott lost fair and square. Howard asked Kyle if he talks politics with his dad. Kyle said he never does. Gary asked if Kyle is a democrat or a republican. Kyle asked what the difference is. Scott said he hates that his kids like this DeBlasio guy. He said they like his commercials. They spent a little more time talking about that and then went to break.

Howard came back and said Tom Arnold is stopping by. Howard said he always has good energy. Howard said he's got a new movie out. Howard asked Gary to put the mic closer to his mouth. Gary did that but it wasn't close enough. Tom told Gary to get his kid back in there.
Tom said it's weird to see Ronnie out there when he greets him. He said you expect someone big to be security but he's so small. Howard said he makes sure things runs smoothly and if something happens he can call someone in there. Robin said he actually does a really good job. Robin said he was helping her out at her book signings. Howard said Ronnie ran away when someone threw a fake snake at him on AGT.
Howard said Tom just had a baby and he's 54 years old. Tom said he can't feel old because he has a kid. He said he's lost over 50 pounds since the kid was born. He said things are great. He said his wife is doing sleep training with the kid. Howard said Tom didn't have a kid with Roseanne so that's a good thing. Tom said that it would be horrible if they had. He said there's no telling what would have been said during the divorce if they did have a kid. Tom said that it was his fault that they didn't have a kid. He said he has a low sperm count. He said Ashley went through this and he never thought they were going to have a kid. Tom said he's pretty sure that he's the dad. He said Dax Shepard did offer to come over and do this for them and give them his sperm. Tom said that's the nicest thing that anyone has said to him. He said he wanted to try it one more time himself though.
Howard said maybe in a weird way that motivated him to get it done. Tom said they had also met with an adoption agency the week before. Howard said the Dax thing is kind of strange. Tom said he's very thoughtful and he had to run it by his wife. He said he's very close with Dax and Kristin. He said their kids were born 10 days apart. Tom said Lincoln is so smart. That's Dax and Kristin's kid. He said the kid is really smart compared to his son. He said that he's concerned with his kid and he had a meltdown for a whole day.
Howard said Kristin has said that Tom's son is cutter than their son. Tom said their kid is very cute too. Howard said that he named his kid Jax after the guy on son's of Anarchy. Tom said his dad's name was Jack and he wanted to honor him too. He said that came up because they do love that show. Tom was actually on Son's of Anarchy. Tom said he got to know Curt Sutter and he put him on the show. He said he would tell Curt that there was no way Jax could beat him up in real life.
Howard said Tom reminds him of Eric the Actor who won't play a gay guy. Tom said that Eric thing was pretty brilliant. He said that everything was true. He said he's been there with the competition and the sadness and all of that.
Howard asked if he got to know the guys on Sons of Anarchy. Tom said he knew some of them already. Howard said he feels bad about Charlie Hunnam because he was going to be in 50 Shades of Grey and he just backed out of it. Tom said he thinks he should have done it. He said he felt pressured over the whole thing and he had to back out.
Howard said Tom and his wife shared the same OB/GYN with Dax and Kristin. Tom said that the doctor was very hot. He said they found out that Jason Duhamel was going there too so they were afraid that she liked him more than them. Tom said she's a great gynecologist too. Tom said that he doesn't want to upset the doctor. He said his wife got upset that they were taking shots of her ass. Tom said she's very smartly put together.
Howard said he understands that Tom is still seeing the gynecologist even though his wife is not. Tom got a laugh out of that. Tom said that she was the one who did the circumcision on the boy and he wanted to save pictures of him for future reference.
Howard said Tom has lost 50 pounds and he's doing it for a health thing. Tom said he eats normal sized food and he doesn't have to do anything too crazy. Howard said that's what people don't understand. He said if you just cut back on how much you eat then you can lose weight. Howard said he just eats a normal breakfast and has just one portion at dinner. Tom said he used to eat two plates but now he has just one. He said bread is the other thing. He said he loved bread but if you limit that it helps.
Howard said he heard a story about Tom and rehab. Howard said he heard he got mad in an email chain and called someone a fag. Elton John and his partner were in the email chain and they were going to kick his ass. Tom kept saying yes to all of this. Tom told Howard he made a movie called Gardens of the Night and he worked with this actor. He said he was in rehab and he was on medication for surgeries he had in 2011. Tom said he was on these medications and he was contacted about going to a party. He said he was joking around with this kid he acted with and sent him ''Fag'' in big letters. He said he must have hit ''reply all'' and then Elton's partner David Furnish threatened to beat him up. He said he had to go to rehab after that. He said that he actually saved his life by doing that. Tom said he wrote a letter saying that someone apparently wrote ''fag'' from his account and that was such a dirty lie. He said he went to UCLA and went to detox after that. He said Elton John is super powerful and he didn't want to get into it with him.
Robin asked Tom about being on a Illeostomy and getting a MRSA infection. Tom said that things were a mess. He said that things are doing okay now though.
Howard asked Tom if he brought his son to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tom said Arnold loves the kid. He said that he was at the hospital the first day. He said one day his son was crying in the crib and he wanted to take it in. He said he saw he was frustrated. Then he heard someone say ''Pick him up.'' He said his wife was watching him with the kid in the house and she saw him on the baby monitor. Tom said that he was very nervous about the whole thing at first. He said his wife calmed him down. Then two weeks ago she went away for the weekend. He said he went over to visit Arnold. He said a bunch of body builders were over at his house that day. Tom said that they all wear speedo underwear. He said that's just what they do.
Howard asked if it's almost naked guys. Tom said they're all out there pumping iron in their underpants. Howard said that's a weird scene. Tom said Jax loved it. Howard said the kid probably thought it was a bunch of kids in their underwear. Tom said he thinks that Arnold is just living the life. Howard asked if he feels he has to strip down to his underwear too. Tom said he doesn't. He said Arnold just had a hernia operation and he was in pain when he handed the kid over to him. He said he's still filming movies all over the world.
Tom said Arnold loves the kid and he looks like he wants one. Howard asked if he brings up the Maria thing at all. Tom said they had a fund raiser for an after school thing. He said they had a bunch of people pay like $30,000 to play poker in his house. He said that Arnold would introduce him as the guy who ''boned Roseanne.''

Howard said Tom was in rehab with Lindsay Lohan once. Howard said he heard that she had her own tanning bed. Tom said they have a rehab and then the medical unit. He said he had this wound that was being worked on and Lindsay had her tanning bed at the medical unit. He said this was at a legitimate rehab. Howard said it would seem to him that you'd have to be humble in there and not have a tanning bed. Tom said you have to get people in there and that might be the way they got her there. Howard said Tom has a lot going on around him. He said it's amazing. He said he should write another book. Tom said he should.

He said she's returning to TV and he was so glad she offered to send it to him. He said that she hasn't sent it yet though. Howard said maybe Tom will go work on her show.

He said he hopes so and he'd love to have Eric on the show. He said they had Riley Martin on the show. Howard asked Tom if he thinks Eric should play gay parts. Tom said playing a gay character is something you have to do. He said Chuck Zito says he would never do that but it would be great if he did. He said Arnold could win for playing a gay Nazi or something. Tom told Eric to try the hard things even if he's not gay. Eric said he will take it into consideration.
Robin said they have a part for him if he would play gay. Tom said he thought they gave that role to Jeff the Drunk. Howard said it turns out Jeff didn't want to give up his role for the gay part.

Howard let Eric go and asked Tom if he's still not drinking. Tom said he thinks about it but he hasn't been drinking. Howard said he cut way down. Howard said he drinks Perrier while people are drinking. Tom said when he does something he wants to get fucked up doing it. Howard said David Arquette went back to drinking. Tom said that's fine. He said whatever works for him is fine. Tom said he'll have to tell his son that he could be an alcoholic because his father was. Tom said he'll tell him what he went through and how he handled it. Howard said maybe that's a wise thing.
Tom said his son reached over to their dog the other day and the dog snapped at him. He said his son looked at him like ''What the fuck? You're supposed to protect me.'' He said that's true and he felt really bad that it happened. He said the dog didn't break the skin though. Howard gave Tom more plugs, wrapped up and went to break a short time later.

Jon said Kyle and Lucas were sitting in too. He asked Kyle about picking his favorite family member and if it was hard to pick. Kyle said dad was there so that's why he picked him.
Gary said he has to get a copy of the show to hear what happened while they were away. He said last time Lucas got him into trouble. He said last time Lucas told Howard that he forced him to play football. He didn't but he got into trouble over that.
Jon said the one answer that was controversial was the one about what the kids last got in trouble for. Scott's son said he didn't get into trouble. Benjy said he thinks that he should have gotten that one.
Gary said he's had the conversation with Lucas about what he wants to be when he grows up and both answers should have been allowed. Lucas wondered if Gary was upset about the farting answer. Gary told him to be quiet or he'll tell everyone about his farting.
Jon asked Scott if he was happy about how he finished today. Scott said he thinks that he plays with his kids more than Gary plays with his. Benjy laughed. Gary asked what the basis of that statement is. Scott said he plays Halo with his kids a lot. Gary said that he probably did the same thing when his kids were that age. He said he coaches his kid's games and things like that. Scott does that too. He said he spends a lot of time with his kids and he loves them. He said he had two boys and they happen to like cool things.
Jon asked Kyle if there's something that he likes to do that his dad doesn't like to do but he'll do it. Kyle said he likes going to the pool but his dad doesn't like that so much. He said he'd rather go play golf. Scott said he likes to have his own time.
Jon asked Scott if it's more important to him to be a better dad or just to be better than Gary. Scott said there are people there who think that they're better than him and he's very competitive.
Gary and Scott were talking about bowling and Scott said he thinks he could beat Gary. Gary said he played a lot. Lucas asked them to please tell him that they're not going to do a father/son bowl off.
Gary said he went to the driving range the other day and this grandfather brought his grandkids there to play and the 5 year old kid was laying down screaming that she didn't want to be there. He said half of his day was ruined by that.
Jon asked Scott if he felt vindicated today. Gary said he thought that they were going to make it into more than what it was today. He thought they were going to give scenarios and find out what the kid would do. Scott said he played one out with his son last night asking about finding money and trying to find the person who lost it.
Scott said they got into the parenting thing about the chips discussion. He said he found it odd that so many people thought he should have opened the other bag. He said he didn't think it was that big of a deal. Gary said there might be bigger battles he might want to choose to fight.
Jon took a call from a guy who said that you can tell with Scott that he seems a little more restrictive on what his kids might see. He said that Gary seems more open to letting his kids watch things on TV. The caller said if you have to tell people that you're a better father then you're probably not. Scott said that's what Gary does. Gary said he never did that. Howard was the one who said he was a good father.
Gary said he and Scott are probably both good fathers. He said he's seen people do some crazy things with their kids. Scott said he saw a dad smoking in front of the kids and using the F-word every few seconds. He said he wanted to go up to the guy and tell him he was a bad influence. They spent a minute on that and then went to break.
Gary said he has to ask his son not to talk like that in front of his mother. Lucas said an occasional F-bomb may come out in front of his mom. Gary said he has to let him know to tone it down. Lucas said he doesn't talk like that at home.
Jon took a call from Ralph who said that he thinks this was a complete tie. He said the one question wasn't a direct question and he thinks it was more of a tie. Gary said he hasn't heard the whole thing so he can't comment until tomorrow.
Ralph said that he also thinks that he's crazy for what he said about Apple computers. Ralph said his computer never has to be fixed and Scott's has to be fixed all the time. Scott said he's never gone to a guy to fix his computer. He said if he has an Apple he has to bring it to a ''Genius'' to fix it. Benjy said the great thing about Apple is that you can bring it to a store where they have people who know how to fix them. Scott said that you have to do things their way and that's it.
Gary said people complain about it being a rip off but Ralph made a good point that you can buyout you want and if something is better then why not pay more for it? Ralph said it's a better OS. Ralph told Scott he's being ridiculous with the whole thing. Scott said he's using a dumbed down product. Scott said they were trying to do editing on a Mac and they couldn't do half the stuff they wanted to. He said he was trying to do a split edit and he wasn't able to do it on the Mac.
Scott said he couldn't use an Apple if he wanted to for work there. Gary said almost everyone in the entertainment world uses Apple. Scott said that's just not true. He said you use Avid if you're a professional.
Jon asked Kyle if his dad gets into a lot of arguments. Kyle said no. Jon told Scott to stop shaking his head. Scott said the only time he gets into arguments is on the golf course. Gary asked if he's stayed calm in his coaching. Scott said one guy did call him an asshole but the guy got kicked out for doing that. Scott said the guy had 10 kids on the field and he called him out on that. He said the coach said he wanted to get them all into the game and he told him he was wrong, it's 9. Scott said the guy called him an asshole. Scott said he ended up beating the other team by about 15 points. He said two weeks later the guy was out of coaching. He said he told one coach he ran that score up because the other guy was an asshole.
Jon said one problem they had tody was Kyle's microphone. Scott the Engineer was trying to fix it from his end. Gary said he heard it as if the mic wasn't on at all. He said he figured a battery of people would be working on it if it wasn't on. He said Scott came in and said he was working on it and he was eating at the time. Jon said that's not the right time to be eating. Gary said he went in around 9 and shut the door and asked Scott what happened. He said Scott told him what happened and he still has no idea what was going on. Jon said you just have to fix it and move on. Gary said he needs to know what happened but he still doesn't know.
Jon said Lucas said that he's never seen anyone so lazy. Jon asked Lucas if anyone there struck him as being different. Lucas said everyone seems pretty normal. He said he's never met Scott before and he's just judging him on that one thing. Jon asked if he was talking to JD about music or something. Lucas said he was. They were talking about the Chemical Brothers and other bands.
Jon asked Kyle what he's planning on doing with his $250. Kyle said he might buy a Microsoft Surface. Scott cheered him and said that's a great choice. Scott said he has one himself. Gary thought Kyle was going to be the only one on his street that has one but Scott had one already. They spent a minute talking about that and then went to break.
Benjy said that Jon believes in luck and that's magic. He asked Gary if he believes in god at all. Gary said sure but luck is something when things just fall one way or another. Scott said that's the opposite of luck. Benjy said if you get down to what started the universe then it's kind of freaky. He said even in advanced physics they say that magic happens.
Gary said there are people who think they saw Elvis after he died. He said he bought a book about it and it turned out to be really good. He said the guy was able to attribute everything to something in the people's lives that made them want to see these things. Gary said he thinks it's your mind that lets you have those things happen.
Gary asked if any of the guys in the studio have had ghost sightings at all. Lucas spoke up and said that Kreskin came to their teen center where he works and he did something. Gary said that's just a trick though. Lucas said he knows that.
Jon said Eric the Midget was on the phone today. He said those tweets are out of control. Gary said you can tweet him anything and he'll fight back about it. He said you can call him an alligator and he'll yell at the person that he's not. Gary said he has to get off of Twitter instead of blaming the show for his medical condition. Jon said they had to wrap up after that. He asked Kyle if he wanted to give a shout out to anyone. Kyle just said ''Nah.'' Lucas said he's DJ Lucas Dell'Abate on Soundcloud. They ended the show around 11:15am.

Howard said they surpassed any NFL game this season. Robin said they trounce any network TV shows.
Howard said Gary told him about something. He said he hesitates to bring it up because he claims he invented everything and people complain about it. Howard said he came up with the idea for the Wrap Up Show and he thought it would be interesting to hear how Gary got a guest or something that happened behind the scenes or heard on the show. Howard said Gary told him that they have a Walking Dead Wrap Up Show and a Breaking Bad wrap up show. Howard said Andy Cohen stated a show like that for the Beverly Hills housewives. Howard said he thinks he can take credit for wrapping up a show. Howard said if he had any brains he would have gone to every show and produced the wrap up shows for them. Howard said he could have a Simon Cowell-like empire if he did that. He said he's influenced just about everything but no one will recognize it. Robin said she does. Fred said no one was doing it in that format or in that style.
Howard took a call from Pete in Pittsburgh who said that today is a great day because Howard finally gets to talk to Avril Lavigne. Howard said she's going to come in and perform a few songs. Her husband is coming in too. The caller said no one cares about her husband Chad Kroeger either. He said he's going to ruin her career.

Pete said Avril is his dream girl. Howard said she doesn't show off her body but she claims she has one. Pete said that she's only coming in because her husband convinced her to. Gary said that's not true. Pete said Chad still looks like a douche bag even though he changed his look.
Howard said he's seen this throughout his life with guys like Chad. Gary said he's not sure if he sucks so bad then why did he sell 30 million records. Howard said Grand Funk Railroad was another band like that. Howard said now it's cool to like them but back in the day it wasn't cool. He said people went berserk and it wasn't explainable. Howard said there was this viciousness about it.
Gary said he remembers that they sold out Shea Stadium at one point. He said they had a lot of fans. Howard was singing some of their songs.
Howard said when you get a fan letter from someone in your own business like Anthony Hopkins it really does move you. Howard said he had that experience last night. Howard said he got a note from Johnny B or Jonathan Brandmeyer and he told him how he felt about what he's been doing. Robin said she did Anderson Cooper's show and he's a big fan of the show too. Robin said Anderson told her he came late to the show but he really likes the interviews Howard does. Howard said that means a lot too.
Howard said he got a call from Rodney Dangerfield that really felt good too. He said it's never left him and it's just great.
Jon Hein said that in the letter to Cranston there's a list of people that he wanted Bryan to pass the note along to and Gomez was at the end of the list.
Eric said he'd like to finish his thought. He said it was pretty rude for Howard to cut him off yesterday. Howard said it was so boring and he was in the middle of an interview. Eric said that was an hour before. Howard said they had Eric on long enough and he was part of the scene and he started to drone and he had to hang up. Robin said Eric needs editing. Howard said he has to keep the show interesting. Howard said he has to cut him off at times and he hopes he understands this. He said if he was doing this off the air he'd let him drone but on the radio he has to keep things moving.
Eric said he wants to talk about Johnny Fratto starting a Kickstarter account to cover him and Jeff the Drunk. Howard said he has to cut him off again. Howard said he obviously made a mistake the first time he cut him off.
Howard said he can't wait for Hanzi to call in. He said he has a song parody that he has to play for him. He said it's really good. He said it's magnificent. Howard said it would be great to wait for Hanzi to call in but he wants to share it. He said he actually can't find it. Robin said maybe Hanzi will call in later.
Howard said he loves this song and it's done by Daniel Mendelson. Howard played the song and Daniel is doing his Hanzi impression with the ''No, no, no'' thing in the opera-like song. Howard told Fred he has to play that song when Hanzi gets into that ''No, no, no'' jag. Howard asked Fred to play the clip of Hanzi doing that thing and then told him to play the song.
Howard said he has so many song parodies about Robin. He played one from Matt Evans where he sings about her boobs. Howard had one from Little Mikey called The Sybian Girl. Howard said Mikey is so creative when it comes to Robin. Howard said it's such a great thought.

Howard said he thinks he performs all of the instruments on those songs. Howard had another song to the tune of a Black Crows song. Howard said he goes through about 50 a day. He said he only takes the best of the best and throws the others away. He said they're unbelievable. Howard said he thinks that's why Robin didn't die from cancer. He said there are too many songs to sing about her. Howard said at her funeral he would have had these guys singing all of these songs.
Howard asked Robin if she can imagine her funeral. Howard said they'd have guys coming over and singing these songs as they were throwing dirt on her casket. Howard played a couple of Little Mikey, Tony Daniels, Psych and other songs. Howard said this is some funeral. Howard said he knows Robin would be smiling down on him.
Howard kept playing song parody after song parody about Robin. Howard said one was like the William Shatner version of ''Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds.'' Howard said Shatner is actually coming in today. He said he's going to have a bunch of plugs today. He said he wishes he'd come in when George is there. He said that would be so great. He said the fireworks would be huge.

Howard said this is just too much for him. He played the clip and said that's as far as he gets. He got as far as the girl making the gargling sound and cut it off.
Howard said Sal thinks his bed lifted off the floor and came within 5 inches of the ceiling. Howard said the Long Island Medium's book is on the best seller list.

Howard said Sal got a call from Riley Martin who thinks that he had that encounter. Howard played the audio of Riley talking to Sal.

Avril told Howard about her manager asking if she wanted to work with Chad and she thought it would be cool. She said that he was in a band and all of that so it would be fun. Howard said you're bound to fall in love doing that. Avril said that she had a feeling that would happen. Chad said he won't let her go do a movie. Howard said he was in love with everyone on the set of his movie. He said everyone is catering to you and it can ruin a marriage.
Howard asked Avril and Chad going into the studio to write together. He asked how long it took to write this song. Avril said they wrote that one on the first day. She said they stated dating down the road and now it's kind of strange for them to perform this song. She said it's sort of a break up song but they put a twist on it in the end.
Howard asked Chad if it was a big decision to marry her. Chad said he never had the intention of getting married but then he met her and it was a no brainer. Avril said she was kind of numb being single for the first time. She was going to move to France. Chad said he ruined that.

She said that she started singing at 7 and she was in theater. Avril said she wanted to be up on stage acting and singing. She said she came to New York at 15. Howard asked her where she was performing at 7. Avril said she was doing that at church. Avril said that her mom pushed to get her to sing in church. Avril said she remembers walking off stage and everyone in the church telling her that she was an ''old soul'' and she had no idea what that meant. She said she just wanted to sing. Howard said it's weird to be that young and knowing what you want to do. Howard asked if her mom pushed her into that career. Avril said she didn't. She just helped get her up there on stage. Avril said it was awesome being on stage the first time. Howard asked if she's really religious now. She said she's spiritual but not really religious.
Howard asked if that's why she doesn't get naked and half undressed in her videos. Chad said he's trying to push her in that direction. Avril said when she came out on the scene at 17 L.A. Reid told her to just keep doing her thing. She said that they wanted to put her into things on magazine covers but she didn't want to. She said she just wanted to do her thing. Howard said she has a good body and she's talked about it but she doesn't feel she has to show it off. Chad said she has a great body.
Howard asked how she ended up in L.A. Reid's office. Avril said she was in New York City at 15 and she was about to make a demo. She said she was in the studio on day 1 and she started writing. She said someone got word to Reid and told him to come hear her. Avril said they told her that he was there to hear her sing and she was blown away even though she didn't know much about who she was. Avril said she sang for him and L.A. told her that it was like sunlight on this bad day he was having. She said he signed her that day. Avril said they took her out to dinner that night and they went to the top of the Twin Towers for dinner. She said that's really memorable for her now.
Howard said that it might warp her mind getting something like that at that age. Avril said she tries to keep a good balance. She said it's hard to do in this industry though. Avril said she goes out on stage and does her thing and then turns it off. She said that she grew up in a small town and she wanted to party as soon as she left home. She said she's never done drugs though.
Howard said Avril dropped out of school. She said she did and she said she was going to do home schooling. She said she never did. Robin asked if she was living on her own at that point. Avril said her brother came out to New York with her. She said she was so scared at that age. Avril said that he's a year and a half older than her. Howard said his parents were up his ass every 2 seconds and she's in New York with her 16 year old brother. Chad said that they were able to turn what her brother was doing for her into school credits.
Avril said her brother took her to the studio every day. She said it was scary. Howard said she must have grown up really fast. Avril said she loves love and she's romantic. Howard said he does too... especially when love looks like you.

Robin asked if she was trained musically at all. Avril said that she had an acoustic guitar and some other instruments and she learned to play on her own. She did take piano lessons but she doesn't remember that very well. Howard said she must be a child prodigy.
Howard asked if Avril wanted to be a country star. Avril said she was performing at fairs and stuff and she would do Dixie Chicks songs and things like that. Avril said when she turned 14 she felt frustrated and she was tired of covering country songs and singing Christmas songs. She said she was growing into herself so she took a break. She said she learned the G chord on her father's guitar and then started writing songs. She said she started writing and developed her own style. Howard said that's amazing she did that at such a young age.
Howard asked Avril about coming up with hit songs and how she came up with Complicated. Avril said she was in New York and people were writing songs for her. She didn't like that. Howard said today that's what it seems like is happening with the big songs. Howard said Katy Perry is almost a machine at this point. Avril said she wanted to write her own music so they sent her to L.A. to write. She said she spent a year making that first record and she wrote the songs pretty quickly. She said ''Complicated'' happened in like a day. She said that anything that's been successful has been pretty quick for her. Avril said she got together with some people who wrote the songs with her. She said that they wrote a lot of songs together. Howard asked her to do a little bit of Complicated for them. Avril went right into the song.
Howard said she's so talented. Howard asked how they figure out who is going to pay for what. Chad said that's kind of funny. Avril said they split everything around the house. She said it's nice. Chad said they both pay out of the same thing and it's a 50/50 split. Howard said he would imagine that would be complicated. Avril said it's actually very nice.
Avril said Chad is a great lyricist. She said he's always coming up with something. Howard said he'd like to come and hang out with them and write a few songs. Chad said he should. Howard said he will write some lyrics about having a small penis and masturbation.
Howard said that song was Avril's first hit. Avril said that it did go to number one. Howard said he thought it debuted at number 2 and went to number 1 but he's not sure. Chad said Nickelback had a hit song at the same time. He said they had a bunch of record that they broke. Howard asked if they wrote ''How You Remind Me'' quickly. Chad said that one was written in about 15 minutes. Howard played some of the song. Howard said Chad feels that's like his ''Hotel California.'' Chad said that was in an old interview. He said that he's written a bunch of others since then.
Howard asked if you feel you have to write every song in 15 minutes when you have a hit like that. Chad said you can start thinking like that.
Howard asked Avril about writing ''Sk8er Boi'' and how quickly that one came. Avril told Howard about how they wrote that one. Howard asked her to perform some of that song next. Avril went into that song and did a little bit of it for Howard.
Howard said he can tell Chad is totally turned on. He said it's like he gloating. Chad said he's glowing actually. Howard said the record company must have thought they had a gold mind on their hands. Avril said that they called her at the house and said to her that this was going to be really big. Avril said she was surprised.
Howard asked Avril about drinking and how early she got started. Avril said she got started pretty early on when she was in high school. She said she never did drugs though. She said she started hanging out with the skater boys and that's what she was interested in. She said that school wasn't for her. Avril said she wanted to learn music but she hated class. She said that she didn't have the patience for that.
Howard asked Avril to give him a little bit of ''I'm With You.'' She gave Howard a little bit of that song.
Howard said he loves that. He said when she hits that chorus it gives you chills. Howard asked how she knows how to arrange a song. He asked if it takes like 50 tries. Avril said she remembers with that song she had to practice it a bunch. She said she went back and tried it again and she had to get into that head space with the lights turned down. Howard asked if she gets depressed when she sings it. She said it's actually her favorite song to sing on stage. She said she plays a lot of fast pop rock songs and then this one.
Howard asked if it's about depression. Avril said that it's about trying to figure it all out and it's not depressing. She said it's just part of life an trying to figure things out. She said she feels good when she sings it. Howard asked if she won a Grammy for that. She said she didn't win but she's been nominated. Howard asked if she cares that she hasn't won. Avril said she can't say it doesn't matter. She said she has a lot of other awards but no Grammy. Avril said she needs a Grammy. Howard said they still are the pinnacle. Avril said when you get nominated you get a big plaque with a mini Grammy in it but it's not the same. She said she and Chad have the same plaque because they were both nominated the same year.
Howard said it must be nice to have awards like that. Avril said it is nice. She said that Norah Jones got the Grammy that year. She said her first album was nominated for 5 Grammys and she didn't win. Howard said sometimes that can be a jinx and you never year from the artist again.
Howard said the song ''Breakaway'' was given to Kelly Clarkson. Howard asked why she did that. Avril said she wasn't feeling it so she was asked if Kelly could have it. Howard asked who handles that. Avril said that it was all handled by management. Avril said she actually won an award for that song. Howard asked if she could do the song. Avril said she's never done it. Howard asked her if she could do it now. She said she doesn't know the song. The band didn't know it either. Avril tried it anyway. She started to sing and the band started to play but she didn't know all of the words. Chad said they were just butchering her song.
Howard asked if she hates that she didn't do the song herself. Avril said when she hears the song it actually makes her very proud.

Howard said the new album (''Avril Lavigne'') is out. Avril said it's actually coming out on November 5th. She said that it's self titled. Avril said she's trying with new styles and sounds.

Avril said it's the biggest she's been with. Howard asked how many inches it is. Avril said she doesn't know. She said that she's never measured it. Chad said they have 5 hours after they leave there so they'll measure away.
Howard asked about this new song they wrote together called ''Let Me Go.'' He asked what it's about. Avril said that it's about letting go of your past. She said it's the journey of life. She said toward the end of the song they put a twist on it so they're together in the song and they sing about ''Don't Let Me Go.'' Howard said they got married pretty quick. Avril said Chad's mother was really good about it and her family really liked him right away.
Howard asked if Chad proposed nude. Avril said it wasn't nude but it was in the studio. Howard said if he was Chad he would propose while giving himself oral. Chad said she'd be constantly saying ''what?'' if he did that.
Howard asked if they will ever bring another woman into the relationship. Chad said before they got married they had a discussion. Avril said that he said it would be bad for the relationship. She said she wanted to marry him as soon as she heard that. Avril said she thinks it would be problematic. Chad said maybe in 30 years they can readdress that. He said for now they've got this. Howard said he could lose her to the other woman too. Chad said they did think about that as well.
Howard had Chad and Avril perform their song ''Let Me Go'' next. They performed the whole song. After the song Howard said that was beautiful. He said Chad has to marry her. Then he realized he had. Avril said that's the first time they've performed that together.

Howard said Bill thought that's what the captain should be doing and he got it re-written. Bill said that's what George seems to think happened. Howard said he can see it happening that way.

Howard said life is too short. Bill said that's what he's been telling him for years. Howard said they go to these Star Trek conventions and Bill gets like $300 for a package from the fans where they get to take pictures and get an autograph. Howard said he thinks George is jealous of that. Bill said he doesn't sell a package. He said the promoters do that.
Howard said that the experience costs about $300 and you get one autograph and entry into Comic-Con for the whole weekend along with a few other things. Howard said Bill may not be in on it but it happens. Howard said his fee must be 5 times as much as George's. Bill said it never enters his mind what George gets. Robin asked him to tell them what he gets. Bill said he gets pennies on the dollar.
Bill told Howard about a guy who says he cured himself with laughter. Howard said he thinks that's all bullshit.
Bill said the video for his song ''Ponder the Mystery'' is up on YouTube now. He said he directed the video and he's in it. Howard asked what his last documentary was. Bill said it was about people who go to these conventions. He said that's confounded him for many years. Bill said he wrote a book called ''Get a Life'' that was about those people. He said he called the documentary the same thing. Howard said he would go see something about that.
Howard said he saw Bill at the Oscars but Bill didn't want to be there. Howard said he did a whole Star Trek thing with Seth MacFarlane. Howard said he thought the whole thing was shit. Bill said he did. He said he's not sure how to say that to Seth though. Bill said he told Seth that he didn't think that it was all he wanted it to be. He said it was rewritten and it was fine.
Howard said he heard that Richard Branson wanted him to go on one of these space flights but he wanted to make him pay $250,000 to do it. Bill said he told him that he'd love to go but it would cost him $250,000.
Howard asked if he's still with Priceline.com. Bill said he is. He said he sold his stock when it was worth pennies and he regrets that. He said the stock is much higher now. Howard said that he told them to pay him in stock early on and he was one of the first people to do that. Howard said he was paid with stock when it was worth 25 cents. Howard said the stock went through the roof and got up to $150.00. Bill said the owner was worth $12 billion at the time. He said the guy was going to build a university with that money. Howard said Bill was locked into the stock for 2 years. He wasn't able to sell it when it was worth so much. Bill said he figured he was going to make movies with that money. Howard said then the stock price went down. Bill said it went below the 25 cents he got it at. Bill said he got rid of the stock at like 10 cents. Bill said all of the dot com stocks were gone. He wanted to get what he could out of it. He said the owner called him and asked for the car they gave him. Bill said he told them that he was keeping the car. He said it was like a beat up Chevrolet or something.
After all of that went on the stock has gone back up to like $1000 according to Bill. Bill said that he may not have the stock now but at least he gets to be on the Howard Stern Show. Howard asked if he'd be worth over a billion. Bill said probably. He said he's not sure what the owner of the company did with his stock. He said a lot of people in the company do have stock. He said they held on to it. Howard said that would drive him insane. He said he doesn't know how Bill lets go of that. Bill said you just do something else. He said you make ''Ponder the Mystery.'' Howard said that does not make up for it. Howard said that wouldn't solve his problem.
Bill asked if Howard got Sirius stock. Howard told him not to get him started with that. He said he has a story about that. Howard said the stock is doing good now. He said it's been years in the making but it's a business now. Bill asked if it's all due to Howard. Howard asked him what he thinks. Bill just laughed.
Howard said there must be a Priceline receptionist somewhere that's worth a billion dollars. Bill said that there probably is.
Howard asked Bill how his sex life is and if it even matters now. Bill said it matters a lot. He said things are good. Howard asked if he has an enlarged prostate. Bill said he doesn't. Howard said he has one and it makes him leak a little bit. He said he has yellow in his underwear. Bill said that's not attractive. Howard asked Bill if he watches porn in the hotel. Bill said he does not.
Howard gave Bill some plugs for his album ''Ponder The Mystery'' and said this has new songs. Howard asked if he's ever won a Grammy. Bill said he has not. He said he's keeping his fingers crossed for this one. Howard said you can also go to WilliamShatner.com for more of Bill's books and albums.
Howard said Bill did some audio books too. Howard played a clip that they edited using Bill's audio book where he talked about his butt being numb from George Takei's monster cock. Howard said he wrote something about Nichele Nichols too. Howard played that clip and he said that she has giant piss flaps. Bill didn't understand that one at first. Howard had to fill him in on what he said. Howard replayed that one and then played one where Bill said Nichele's gaping asshole has an organic odor. That one made Bill crack up.
Howard played a clip where Bill says he butt fucked a 7th grade boy. Bill said they're horrible. Bill was cracking up at the clips. He said they've been laying in wait for him for weeks. Howard played another clip where they had Bill saying that he spent the summer of 1966 drinking the cum from a retarded boy's cock.
Howard told Bill about his Depends pads that he uses in his underwear. He shared that and then played another clip from Bill's audio book where he talked about a black kid putting a vodka bottle in his asshole. Bill asked why it has to be a black kid or a retarded kid doing stuff to him.
Howard said he was honored to have him in the studio. He said he has said too much today. Howard said now he has to go record his song. Howard said he'll play Bill's version of his song ''Silver Nickels And Golden Dimes'' tomorrow. Howard teased that a little bit by singing the opening with Bill a little bit. Howard gave Bill some more plugs and wrapped up with him. Howard said he's glad he can get a full hard on with his wife. He said that gives him hope. Howard played ''Silver Nickels and Golden Dimes'' as they were ending the interview.

Howard said they're looking for hot mother and daughter teams to play a game where they have to get nude. Howard said he and Robin think no one will enter the contest. Howard said if you do enter and you're the only one then you could win.
Jeff thanked Howard for the chance to get that role of a lifetime. He said he hasn't heard when he'll be doing it but last week it was supposed to be 6 weeks out. Howard said he hopes it all comes together soon. Howard said you never know with movies. He said the guy is a legitimate producer though.
Howard said they had some morning. Robin said it was an exciting one. Howard said Avril was adorable. He said she starts singing and he's like ''Wow!'' Robin said she was talking about starting out at 15 and moving to New York.
Howard said some of those things Mr. Shatner said in his audio book were horrible. Robin said the innocence of Avril was overshadowed by that.
Howard said he knows he has to get to the news but he has to talk about this guy Larry Clayman. Howard said he's not sure who he is but he's demanding that Obama put down the Quran. Howard said JD explained to him who he is but he didn't understand. JD came back in and said that he's an activist who is backed by the republican party. He said that he claims he's going to get Obama out of office by November 19th.
Howard played the clip of this guy saying that Obama has to put the Quran down and get out of office. Howard said that's so ridiculous.
Howard played a clip from a football game where Tom Brady scores and the announcers go nuts. Howard said he'd like Robin to do that for him. He said that she should yell a little bit like that.
Howard took a call from Mariann from Brooklyn who said she knows how to yell. She did that for a few seconds. Mariann said that she saw Howard on Extra TV with Beth. Howard said they asked the two of them a few questions about each other and he was able to match 5 for 5 of them. Howard said he's the greatest husband.

That Monday Scott DePace came in and started rearranging everything in the studio. DePace said that's not right. He said he's wrong about what went on. DePace said he asked Scott if he could have pushed some stuff back. He said Scott told him he should have been there. DePace said he should think about being part of the team. Mariann said Scott thinks he's never wrong. She said he's so wrong. Scott told her to shut up.
Scott the Engineer came in and said that they have a line on the floor for where they don't want stuff and he keeps that in mind. DePace said it was the way he responded to him that was wrong. He said Scott took it out on the crew. DePace said they've been there for 20 years and never fucked up any shit and he's still going to blame them. Howard said DePace comes off very poorly in that special.
DePace asked why Avril couldn't hear Robin today. Scott said that she turned down her monitor so that was Avril, not them. Howard said Scott will be proud of himself in that special. He said he comes off pretty good in that one.
Mariann said that Robin was great at her book signing. She was starting to go on a little too much for Howard so he hung up on her.
Howard said they have to get to news. He said he has more stuff to play. He said he has some new Marriage Tips from Sal. He said the guy has the worst marriage but he has marriage tips.
Robin started off talking about a study that was done that found that most people check their email first thing in the morning. Robin said the other thing that people check is their weather app. Then the social media apps and news apps.
Robin read about a priest who was caught masturbating in a Cleveland park and offering a ranger $50 to help him reach a climax. Howard said that's a scream for help. Robin said the guy is 69 years old. Howard said that's sexy. Robin said he pleasured himself in front of the off duty officer. Robin said the priest had waved the guy over to his SUV.

Robin said she wanted to get a little serious for a moment. Robin said this Malala Yousafzai has written a book and she did not get nominated for a Nobel peace prize.

She said the guy was shocked that she knew about her.
Robin said that this girl is another Mandella or another Ghandi. Howard said that if they don't get any entries for the Mother Daughter contest they'll give the prize money to her. Howard said they'll have to tell her that it came from CougarLife.com though. Howard said this may really upset Andrea but maybe they should make her the new Miss Howard Stern. Howard said she is a brave little girl. Robin said she was being honored in London this weekend. Robin said she wants to raise money to build schools. Robin said they asked Nicole Scherzinger about Malala and what she thought about her. Nicole said she didn't know the story that well. Robin had some audio from that interview.

The caller said she wants to come and rub her smooth, chocolate skin. Robin paused and just said ''Okay.'' Howard told the caller to talk about Malala and that will turn Robin on.
Howard said if anyone wants to seduce anyone with flowers, they may get lost. The caller said she sent them about 6 months ago when Robin was out so that's probably why she didn't get them. Howard said Benjy probably gave them to Elisa Jordana. The caller asked if she can give her number to Robin so she can call her when she's in California. Howard told her to hold on and then asked Robin if he should just hang up on her. It sounded like that's what he did.

DePace said that should be Scott's responsibility too. Salem said that he won't fight with him about this shit. He said he obviously does everything perfect in his job. DePace said he has a better record than Scott does.
Benjy said this is like when blacks and Jews fight. He said they need to band together. Jon said getting back to the Metallica thing, that was a stressful day for everyone. DePace said he's always been on Scott's side but now he's just going to say fuck it. DePace said he has defended him in the past but now forget it. Salem said that's fine. He said he doesn't have to defend him.
DePace said that it's Scott's attitude that makes it so bad. He said the question he had about the Metallica thing was really nice and they didn't capture that on camera. He said Scott's response was basically ''fuck you'' and it's not his fault if he wasn't there on Sunday. Salem said that he could have been there. He said he's absolutely wrong about the setup. He said he always thinks about the set up in there and stays behind that line that they asked him to.
DePace said they're all on the same team. Salem said that he's always been told that it's radio first. DePace said that radio does come first but it doesn't mean he has to be an asshole. Salem said that he asked him to move something. DePace said he asked if they could have moved something. He wasn't asking him to move it. He said he knew they couldn't move it.
Gary said he has a question. He asked if DePace had people there watching then why didn't they tell him that they needed more room. DePace said that it wasn't as simple as that. He said his guys don't know all of the equipment. He said they had amps on top of amps on top of amps. He said they didn't know to ask the question. DePace said that they just say ''fuck TV'' and just do their thing. DePace told him not to worry about it since they're out of there in a couple of days anyway.
Gary said he thinks that this was a huge set up and DePace could have been off. He said they started to go behind where Scott had done his work and he can understand why he would get upset. DePace said that he had to set up a POV camera that they didn't have in there. Gary asked why they didn't tell someone that they were going to do that. DePace said that they wanted to see where the equipment was going to be. Scott said they wanted to put a GoPro camera at the feet for the drums.
DePace said that they had 20 years of experience and they weren't trying to sabotage them. He said that's all he's saying.
DePace said that it was a really simple question he had for Scott. He said he knew that they'd be fine but he asked if there was a chance they could have moved some of the equipment to a different spot when they were setting up. Gary said he was in the studio when the blow up happened. He said he knows he has an issue with Scott and in this instance he may have been wrong. DePace said that Scott's response to him was basically ''fuck you'' and that's it.
Jon asked Scott Salem if he thinks that he has treated TV wrong all these years. Scott said he has always treated radio first and TV second. DePace said they're all one team and he wishes Scott had seen it that way. Salem said that it's the radio show first. He said it's not a TV show. He said it's a radio show being covered by TV.
DePace said Howard didn't hear the original blow out. He said Scott had to do a lot of extra work on Sunday and he took it out on them. He said he answered a very simple question with a ''fuck you'' attitude and he took it out on his crew. Benjy said maybe they could have worked it out after the show or something.
Jon asked why it's this that set him off. DePace said it used to be funny when he'd blow up over the past 20 years. He said it's happened at ever remote they've done. He said they were the lead in the whole thing and Scott would always yell at them for fucking something up. DePace said they've always had to take it and they did. He said now he's saying ''fuck you.''
Gary said there's always tension there and Howard has always said that radio is first but they have to work hand in hand to make it work. DePace said Scott must not have heard that part.
Gary said there has always been a bit of tension. He said Doug and Will had a falling out a couple of years ago. Gary said it can be kind of challenging to work together with a couple of companies like this. DePace said after all of the work they did they still treated them with that ''fuck you'' attitude.
Salem said that he tried to accommodate them with what they needed. DePace said they used to laugh it off but not anymore.
Gary asked DePace if the two of them designed that studio together. DePace said that there were a lot of people involved. He said there was a time when E! was out of it and In Demand wasn't quite on board. He said that Gary approved some stuff that he didn't want to do and he's still not happy with some of what was done. He said Robin's booth was put in the wrong spot and it fucked up some camera angles. He said that there are some issues there. Gary said he thought he had a good moment there. He said he had no idea it was that bad. Jon said they had to take a break after that.
DePace said that he thinks he's fun to be around and he loves to golf. He said he's a family guy too. He said he thinks he's a great guy. Gary asked if being competitive and being right are the same thing. Scott said it can be.
DePace said he's just as open minded as they are too. He said Gary tells him he's not open minded but Gary is the one who isn't open minded. He said he accuses him of never changing and Gary is really the same guy. Gary asked how it got to be about him. Scott said he started saying that he's like the next guy. He said Jon has opinions about TV shows that he doesn't buy into. He said that Gary hasn't changed his mind. Gary said that Jon has changed his mind on TV shows. He said Jon hated a TV show and he changed his mind. Scott said TV shows don't matter.
Jon took a call from a guy who said he doesn't like Scott and he thinks that his comment on Apple yesterday was just another one that he doesn't agree with. The caller said that the two Scotts are both wrong. He said they have to admit their mistakes. Scott asked what he should admit to that he's wrong on. The caller said he should just admit it when it comes up.
Jon asked Scott if he would admit it if he was wrong. Scott said he would. He said they make him out to be something that he's not. Scott said he will admit it when he's wrong and people will clap when he does. Gary said he's doing that in the control room in front of 9 people though.
Gary said he doesn't think what Scott said about Apple is fair. He said that people who buy that stuff aren't drones or stupid like Scott said. Scott said he was just giving his opinion. He said that the products are dumbed down and that's what he said. Gary said they're good products and people like them. He said that it's okay to like something and buy it year after year. Gary asked if he buys a new car every few years. Scott said he does. Gary said then he's a drone. Scott said he doesn't wait on line for a car.
Gary said that they will always be connected on the show and he knows that some people will lose touch. He said that he would check in with Scott Salem. He said he may lose touch eventually. Gary said people will probably just forget to call him.
Benjy said he would go out to dinner with people from the show. He said he would keep up with them the way he does with people from college. He said he'd do that on Facebook. Benjy said he thinks that most of them are good work friends. Gary said he's still friends with the engineer from NBC. He said he was roommates with him for a while though so they stay in touch.
Jon asked if they think that Bill takes his music seriously. Gary said he thinks that he does. He said the interview got kind of strange when Howard asked if he takes this music seriously. Gary said he thinks that Bill does take it seriously.
DePace said every time he comes on the show he energizes his life for him. He said he's a lot of fun. Gary said he's 82 years old next March and he looks great. They went to break a short time later.

Jon took a call from a guy who said that no one ''digged her'' when she came out except for emo guys. He said that Nickelback is like Justin Bieber. He said they're really mainstream-ie.

Jon took a call from a guy who said he was listening to Avril Lavigne and she had a pause when she was asked about being pregnant.

He said it's weird and he thinks about who is watching this stuff. He said they're the best shows. He said he's not sure why anyone would watch network shows instead of cable. He said there might be too much stuff to watch.
Robin said there's a show called The Americans that's such a good show. Howard said he started watching it but it was too confusing for him. He said he'll get to it eventually. Howard said Robin did turn him on to Banshee and that's really good. Howard said he's almost done with season 1. Howard said Robin must love that guy on the show and he pictures her pleasuring herself to him with vegetables. Robin said she only eats vegetables now. Howard said he was thinking about how vegetables have been her life since she was a little girl. Howard said she masturbated with them at a young age. He said she loved them like few people have loved them. Robin said she's not going to any vegetable convention or anything.
Howard said he's not sure how you pick what America wants to see. He said that he has to come on the radio and figure out what people want to listen to for 4 hours. He said it seems more ridiculous to pick a TV show. Howard said he's not sure how you do that. He said his dad told him that it's very hard being a program director because you don't know what music to pick. Howard said he did try that for a while though. Robin said some people can do it. Howard said there's that guy Kevin Weatherly that does it really well. He said he's some sort of weird nudnik that can pick songs that people want to hear. Howard said he was on a bus with Kevin at Jimmy Kimmel's wedding. Howard said he told Kevin he recognized him even though he didn't. Howard said he does that all the time.
Howard said he's not sure if he ever worked with Kevin. Robin said she thinks they did. Howard said he thinks he was against them. He was the PD at KROQ. Howard said now he's Booker's boss at some station out there. Howard said they all worked for Viacom though.
Howard said he and Kevin had a nice conversation on the bus. He said the bus ride was a long one. He said it was at a golf resort and it was like a half hour drive there. Howard said he wasn't sure where he was at. Howard said he and Kevin talked about radio and spoke in radio lingo.
Howard said Gary knows some radio lingo but not all of it. Howard said Gary picks up TV terms and applies them to radio. Howard said he once said that they needed a ''hard out'' but that's a TV thing. Gary said that was actually Gange's thing, not his. Howard said Gar has worked in radio for a long time. Gary said he worked at NBC before Howard's show for about a year. Howard said he doesn't know the terminology. Gary said this isn't a fight he's interested in. Howard said it's good that Gary doesn't know this stuff. Gary said he's going to take a hard out on this discussion.
Howard said Gary has put on some weight. He said he can see it in his shirt. Gary said he's actually lost some weight. He's around 205 pounds. Fred played a Baba Booey song parody for him. Gary said he doesn't care what Howard thinks. Howard said he's like a woman adjusting his shirt like a dress.
Howard said Gary knows the basics of radio. He asked Gary what AM stands for. Gary said it's something modulation. Gary said he didn't have to take the tests that Howard had to take. Howard said he got a first class radio license. He said you don't need to know that stuff.
Howard said AM is Amplitude Modulation. Gary said he's sure that most people in radio don't know that. Gary said he doesn't care though. Howard asked if he knows what FM stands for. Gary said that's Frequency Modulation. He was right.
Howard said Gary is still pulling on his shirt. He said he knows he's gained weight when he does that. He said he's uncomfortable because his folds are showing. Fred played some more Baba Booey song parodies while they were talking about all of that.
Howard said he doesn't like the RaRa Retard and Mama Monkey references in those songs. Gary said he could do without them too but he can handle it. Gary told Howard they have guests there. Howard said they'll leave him alone since he's working over there.
Howard said this is what they call boogie music. Howard said he can't get into this stuff. Howard said that ELO isn't in the hall of fame. He said they have LL Cool J and NWA on the list and he's wondering if they have rap guys on the list then why not country acts? He said they must think that the rap guys are cool or something.
Howard said Deep Purple isn't in the hall of fame either. Howard said Peter Gabriel is in the list. He said Hall and Oates is also in the list but not in the hall of fame yet. Howard said this would be their first nomination. Howard said KISS and The Meters are on the list too. Howard said they must be a band that either traveled around on a bus or they're all black guys. Gary said they are all black. Fred found some of their music and played a song for Howard. Howard talked about how tough their career must have been and talked it up like it was a documentary. Howard said he knows their whole story and he doesn't even know who they are. Howard said they had to sit in the back of their own bus.
Howard said Chubby Checker is pissed off an he'll be calling in today. Howard said he's upset that no one is playing his music. Howard said Chubby gets pissed off and he has to put things in perspective for him. He said every kid loved The Twist but you can't build a career off that. Howard said there have been 7 Twist songs. He said Chubby didn't even write that. He said it was a country guy, Hank Ballard, that wrote it. Howard said Hank had a moderate hit with it and Chubby made it a huge hit. Gary said Hank is in the hall of fame too.
Howard said the story goes that Dick Clark had the American Bandstand and Hank was signed up to come on and sing. Howard said for some reason he wasn't able to get there so they found someone who sounded like Hank and that was Chubby. Howard said that's weird. He said he has to talk Chubby off the ledge. He said he's upset that people aren't playing his music.
Robin said she just Googled Chubby's name and she found that he's suing over a penis measuring app. Howard said it was called a ''Chubby Checker'' so that's why he went berserk over it. Howard said you don't want a cock measuring device named after you. Howard said if he had let that go then people would have asked if he invented the app.
Howard said he thinks this Hank Ballard version is a great version of the song. Howard asked Robin not to say that when Chubby calls in.
Howard said the Zombies, Yes, Cat Stevens and others are on the list of possible nominees. Howard said Yes belongs in there. He said Cat Stevens might belong too but he's been on shaky ground for a while now. Howard sang some of his stuff.
Robin read the list of songs that Chubby has put out. Many of them had the word ''twist'' in them. There were a few other songs named after dances. Fred said he could make the argument that Chubby belongs in there. He said there are some people who are on the list who may not belong on the list. He said Dell Shannon is one. He wrote one good song that you can name. Howard said Linda Ronstadt is on the list. Howard said she's ill and she had a lot of hit records. He said she didn't write them though. Fred said she was influential though. Robin said she read that she's ill and can't sing anymore. Howard said he loved it when Robin fought with her on the Tonight Show.
Howard read some of the mail he got about Eric. Howard said someone said that they change the channel when he's on. Howard said the guy thinks his 15 minutes has passed and he's getting too much time on the air. Howard said the guy says they should get a new wack packer. Howard said they had a meeting yesterday about that and they may have a new one. Howard said this guy says that he and his buddies all change the channel when Eric is on. Howard asked what he should do about this. Eric said they're all a bunch of worthless fucks who can go to hell.
Howard said he was reading Eric's tweets the other day and he thought that was fun. Howard said Eric's appearances are hit and miss. He said he thinks that it's a better world with Eric. Robin said she's always enjoyed Eric and they should keep him. Howard asked Fred if he thinks his best work is done on the show. Fred said he thinks he's only going to get better. Benjy said he still loves Eric on the show.
Howard said he likes Eric too. He said he wouldn't put him on if he didn't like him. Benjy told him to go with his gut then. Howard said Benjy is like a pimply Yoda with that advice. Fred played Benjy's ''Ehh'' sound and Howard said he loves that. Fred said someone said that they would listen to an entire channel of that noise.
Howard asked Eric what he has to say today. Eric said after he was on yesterday he heard them playing Robin songs. He said he has an idea. He said they should put all of those songs online or on CD for the fans to purchase. Howard laughed. Howard said when they use music of other people you can't really do that. He said he'd consider that though. Gary sarcastically said that idea has never been floated by anyone.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that they're all tired of hearing from Eric. He said everyone in the office is tired of him too. Gary said he's not. He said he loves hearing Eric. The caller said he's so fucking boring. Howard said Fred does a great impression of him. Fred did some of that impression where he pauses between syllables.
Howard said no one has any idea what he was talking about. The caller said they should put Jeff the Drunk on whenever he calls in. Howard said even the caller is getting boring now.
Howard took another call from a guy who said that he feels bad for Eric and it makes him feel better about his own life.
Another caller asked Howard if he has ever wished he had a brother growing up. Howard said absolutely not. He said he's glad he didn't have one. Howard said that never works out. Howard said everyone he knows who has a brother, 99 percent of the time, they fucking hate them. Howard said he was a child who liked having his mother's attention almost full time. Having to share that would have killed him. He said his sister didn't want the attention. He said it was like she wasn't even in the house. Howard said that's why she wasn't even in the movie. Howard said when the brother is older the brother beats up the younger one. Howard said if you're more successful than your brother the brother will go ape shit.
Howard said he was reading about how Stephen Baldwin has to go to court and he was wondering if Alec has to go bail him out or anything. He said siblings are only a burden. He said if you're an only child then you're blessed. Howard said a kid should never complain and they should just be happy. He said his sister is no bother to him at all and that's rare. Howard said having siblings is a curse.
Howard said he doesn't even think the Bacon brothers get along even though they tour together. Howard said Ron Howard's brother must not even like his brother because he's so successful. Howard said his daughters all love each other. Fred said his wife loves her sister and vice versa. Howard said sisters are a different story. Howard said the brother thing is tough. He said he and his sister just get along but brothers are a different story. Howard said the Wachowski brothers did the right thing and one of them became a woman. Howard said that's the way to go if you have a brother.
Robin said that Michael Buffer was adopted and he found out later in life that he had brothers and one became his business manager or something. Robin said that's because he didn't grow up with him.
The caller asked Howard about Jamie Foxx dating Katie Holmes. Howard said he thinks that's good. He said it helps to desensitize people to that. He said he knows a lot of people are hung up on that. Howard said he thinks that Jamie will fuck her but leave her soon. Howard said he'll fuck her for a little bit but he won't stop the party there. Howard said he's not even sure if that story is true. He said if he is banging her it's more for the publicity than anything else.
The caller asked Howard how attractive he finds Avril Lavigne. Howard said she's very attractive. Howard said she and her husband were good on the show yesterday. Robin asked how long he thinks that relationship will last. Howard said he doesn't know if they'll go the distance. Robin said it's tough when you work together. The caller said that it's almost inevitable that they'll break up. Howard said these women insist on aging and that could bring things to an end. He said that guys in rock and roll are very visual. Howard said it's rare when you see a guy in show business being able to stay focused on one woman.
Howard said that even if the marriage doesn't last it's got to be a lot of fun for now. Howard said Avril told them about how she got dressed up for Chad while she was cooking dinner. Howard said the thought of that was making him mental on his drive home. Howard said he looked up the lingerie that she mentioned and it was really sexy. He said he can't remember the name of it. He said she cooks, plays guitar and sings. He said that's some situation there. Robin said she was talking about how she goes around the house singing. Howard said the name of the lingerie is Agent Provocateur. He said you can look it up online.
Howard took a call from King of All Blacks who said that sometimes the woman gets tired of the man too. Howard said he thinks that Avril dumped a couple of the guys she was with.
Howard took a call from a guy who said Howard needs to go to another day of therapy a week. The caller said he buried 3 brothers and a sister and he misses them a lot. Howard said he must be very evolved then. Howard asked how many brothers he had. He said there were 5 boys and 3 girls. Howard asked if he killed them. The caller called him a dick head and laughed. Howard said sometimes it works out for people. He said that's the minority though.
Howard asked Benjy if he has any brothers. Benjy said he has two sisters. He said it they have great skin too. Howard said that's not fair. He said Benjy has such red, blotchy skin. He said it's not fair. Today it wasn't too bad though. Howard said today is a good day for his skin. They went to break a short time later.

Chubby said that doesn't bother him. He said all of those people are great and they deserve to have that.
Chubby said his pictures are all over the hall of fame already. He said that the reason he's calling in is because no one is playing The Twist anymore.

Howard said he was telling Robin the story about the Twist and how he didn't write the song. Howard said it was Hank Ballard. Howard said Hank was supposed to be on American Bandstand but he wasn't able to make it. Robin said Hank had a number of risque hits so they were afraid he was going to taint the song. Howard said the story is that Chubby sounded like Hank so they brought him in to perform the song. Chubby said that's not true. He said the song was a B-side and someone gave it to him and he changed everything. Howard asked if he made a ton of dough from that record. Chubby said he's still around and performing the song. He said he's not a millionaire though.

Chubby said he's still hanging out with her. Howard said that's his only wife too. Howard asked if he got a ton of shit for marrying a white woman back then. Chubby said they still give people a hard time about that. He said they say that more white men are married to black women than black men are married to white women.
Howard asked Chubby if he's ever had sex with his wife while The Twist was playing. Chubby laughed and said yes. Howard said he would probably do the same thing. Howard asked how many times he's done that. Chubby said he can't go there. He said he's so glad that he got to meet Howard when he saw him at a book signing. He said he really is a fan of Howard's.
Howard asked when he put this new song out. Chubby said it's been out for 4 or 5 months now. Howard played some of the song. Howard said Chubby still has a great voice. Howard said he's going to call Kevin Weatherly and tell him to play The Twist. Howard said maybe they can get stations to play the song at the same time one day. Chubby said he'd like to hear the song played as much as Twist and Shout. Howard said that's a tough order but they might be able to do that.
Chubby said he has a problem with the radio community giving his fame to the Beatles. Howard said he tried to calm him down by telling him that there are other people who can't get their songs played on the air from that era. Robin said that styles change.

Howard took a call from King of All Blacks who said he was going to buy his album until he heard he was married to a white woman. Robin said King isn't married to a black woman either. King said he was just wondering what it is about the white women that he likes. Howard said that's ridiculous.
Chubby said he was in the Philippines and he saw Miss World there in her bathing suit. He said he wasn't thinking about her being black or anything. He said he wanted to be with her and that's who he's stayed with. He said he didn't see color. He just saw that thing walking in front of him and he didn't care. Howard said every man understands that.
Howard was going to wrap up but Chubby was wondering if that was it. Howard said that's it. Chubby said you can't judge a record if they're not hearing it. He said they should play the song and let people yell at them to take it off the air.

Howard said the poor guy just wants to hear his song being played. Howard said there are so many artists out there that can't get their music played. Howard said he did research to make him feel better. Howard said he got a letter from Chubby asking him to get on the air to talk about this. He said the guy is such a nice guy. Robin said there aren't many songs that can go to number 1 twice. Howard said he thought this would make him feel better. He read some of the number one hits they looked up and how no one hears that stuff anymore.
Howard said that he was believing that the song is the number one song on the planet. Fred said he looked it up and it really is. He said that you'd have to ask Billboard what that means though.
Howard said he couldn't wait for this day. He kept telling Hanzi goodbye and he'd get upset so Fred would play the song. Howard said that song works so well.

He said it's always interesting. He said it's amazing that Dave was the drummer in Nirvana. Howard said he can write so many great songs himself.
Howard said Piers Morgan has his own show on CNN. He said he's going to tell him about his two favorite moments on his show. Howard said he hasn't seen Piers in a long time. He said the last time he saw him was on his talk show. Howard said Piers left America's Got Talent to do his own show. Howard said getting a guest is so difficult that he could probably write a book about getting Oprah as a first guest. Piers said he eventually did.
Piers told Howard that he was staying in Los Angeles at a hotel where he lived for a couple of years. Piers said he remembers going out to the Monkey Bar and hanging out with Andrew Lloyd Webber's daughter Imogen. He said he threw the party and she showed up with some amazing wine. He said he might have one glass a night usually but on the weekends he's a typical Brit. He said one bottle goes down nicely. He said in America if you drink more than 2 bottles then they call the Betty Ford clinic. Piers said they were drinking bottles that were like $8,000 a bottle. Howard asked if he can even tell the difference. Piers said the stuff at $30 can taste just as good as the 8 grand bottle.
Piers said they had nobody for his show in January of the year he was starting. He wanted to get Obama but he wasn't available. He said he bumped into a friend who told him to try Oprah. Piers said this guy said Gayle King was his friend. He said he contacted Gayle through this guy and she worked on Oprah to do the show. Piers said when Oprah walked through the door and Gayle was there. She said that Oprah asked Gayle to remind her why she was there and Gayle said Piers is a good interviewer but she had never seen him interview anyone.
Piers said he had Oprah the first night but he had someone even bigger the next night. That was Howard. Howard said he had fun doing the show. Piers said he should come back. Howard said he doesn't do too many interviews like that. Piers said he understands that.
Howard said the part he hates about Piers' job is that he's up against other political shows where they scream and yell at each other. Howard said Piers is doing straight interviews. Howard said if he was on 60 Minutes he'd be hailed all over for his interviews. Howard said it's so hard to do an interview in an hour long format. Piers said they realized that right away.
Howard heard noise coming from somewhere but he wasn't sure where it was coming from. He said it looks like Gary may have sat on his microphone in the office.
Piers told Howard he writes about the guest thing in his book. He said they had a lot of news going on during his show start so they had fantastic ratings. He said he thought it was going to be easy to keep that going. He said they had a lull in the news for a few months and that brings the ratings down on CNN. He said they go up and down depending on the news that's happening.
Piers said he had an interview with Pastor Rick Warren that was fascinating. He said he's interviewed Bill Clinton too and that was great. Piers said that the thing that gets your juices flowing is being at the center of things when a massive news story breaks. He said he tried to mix things up with his show but it's not easy.
Howard asked when he interviews a guy and he drones on does he want the guy to just shut up. Piers said they had a pre-taped thing with the president of Tunisia. He said the guy insisted on speaking French. He said he just asked him how things were going. 10 Minutes later he was still speaking in a droning monotone. Piers said they spent the entire interview on one question. He said they use a few lines and then put the rest online or something.
Piers said he would like to speak to Robert De Niro but he's heard that he is a tough interview. Howard said he figured he could get him to talk if he was on his show. Piers said he got Robert De Niro and they had a 1 second delay on the satellite. He said they showed a scene of Robert in one of the Fockers movies. He said De Niro looked at it without making a sound. He said he wasn't happy about it. Piers said he knows Robert can be entertaining. He said he doesn't think he likes the whole interview dynamic. He said he doesn't need to because of who he is. Howard said he could be nice to him by playing along with something he agreed to do.
Piers said he was getting desperate with the interview. Piers said he was getting nothing out of him for 10 minutes and they had him booked for 40 minutes. Piers said he asked Robert who he thinks is the best actor out there. De Niro said he didn't think he was the right guy to ask. He said it was like trying to get blood from a stone. Piers said he told De Niro that the interview was a challenge.
Howard asked if he wanted to ask him why he did the interview if he didn't want to do it. Piers said he had Morgan Freeman on the show and he was great. He said he talked about everything for the whole hour. He said it was magical television. He said it was the same with Jeff Bridges. Piers said it's pot luck doing a show like that.
Howard said it's such a weird thing with De Niro. He said you expect the guest to help with half of the interview at least.
Piers said he asked Bill Clinton if he does a Bono impression since Bono did one of Bill. He said Clinton came in and they showed Bono doing his impression of Clinton and then asked Bill if he did his impression of Bono. He said Bill put on some dark shades like he was going to do an impression but he didn't do it. He said he can't do a great impression but he loved that moment when he put on the glasses.
Howard said Piers has a new book called ''Shooting Straight: Guns, Gays, God, and George Clooney'' and you can find out more at PiersMorganBook.com
Piers told Howard about going to a party and meeting a bunch of big celebrities like Woody Allen and others. He said he though it was a great place to get guests. Howard said he could never do that at a party. He said he'd feel weird about asking people to do his show like that. Piers said he went right up to Woody and asked him to do the show. He said the room went silent. He said Barbara Walters asked him to the party and she blurted out that it would be inappropriate to ask him to do his show there. He said she way she did it made everyone laugh so it broke the tension.
Piers said the discomfort of that moment was amazing. Howard said that he could have stuck to his movies and just talked to him about that. He said it could have been a great interview.
Piers said that he went to a Knicks game and Bill O'Reilly was at he other end of the room. He said the guy is gigantic. Howard said he really is big. Howard said he doesn't look that big on TV. Piers said he was towering over everyone. He said he told his publicist that he was going to ask him to do the show. Piers said he went over and introduced himself. Bill didn't do anything. He said he just kept saying ''Uh huh'' and didn't want to do the show. He said he walked off and went back to Megan and told her that he was a dick. About 10 minutes later Bill walked over to him with his daughter and her friend. They were 14 years old. He said Bill said that his daughter was a big fan of America's Got Talent and he asked if he could take a photo. Piers said it would be a pleasure. Piers said maybe Bill would like to take the picture. He said that Bill was steaming. He said as he went to take the picture a man in the room flew in between them with his arms up saying that they can't have Mr. Morgan's privacy invaded. Piers said he was happy to take the photograph though.
Howard said he hates being a dick to anyone. He said he's not sure what Bill was thinking. Piers said he has that story in the book and he saw Bill at a party the other night. He said Bill said ''Hi Piers'' and just walked off. Piers said he thinks the guy is just a dick. Howard said he saw him at a party in the Hamptons and he's amused by the guy. He said Bill walked up to him and said he wanted to help his career by letting him come on his show. Howard said he asked if he was serious. Piers said he was probably dead serious.
Piers said that Bill's show is fantastic if you like that kind of thing. He said his dad would watch Bill's show every night while he was there visiting. He said his dad loves the guy and he had never seen him before.
Howard said Piers tried to get Rupert Murdoch to do his show. Piers said he worked for Rupert and he kept emailing him. He said Rupert emailed back an told him on a scale of 1-100 that his chances were less than 0. He said that he must not trust him.
Piers said he ran into Rupert on the red carpet at an event not long after he was turned down. He said that he asked him how he felt about CNN being on a ratings rampage and that FOX was going down. He said Rupert just laughed and said he was very comfortable.
Piers told Howard about meeting with Rupert Murdoch for the first time and how great it was working with him. He said that he was told how to be a newspaper editor. He said they discussed newspapers, world events and all sorts of stuff the first night he met with him. He said Rupert was creating a lot of ground breaking TV. He said Rupert just made him the new editor of one of his newspapers. He said he knew his life was never going to be the same again. He said it was like Simon Cowell taking him to America's Got Talent. He said that these guys did a lot for him and he owes them a lot. Piers said that Rupert isn't perfect but you have to take the good with the bad.
Howard said that there are rumors that he's going to be replaced with Katie Couric or someone. Piers said that has been going on since he started. He said he doesn't give a damn. Howard said he has a huge ego though. Piers said when he was made the Editor of News of the World he was only 28. He said he knew they wanted him to fall flat on his face. He said he got the same feeling at CNN. He said he just keeps going though. He said that it keeps him going when people don't want him to succeed. He said he's been on CNN for 3 years now and that's 3 years longer than a lot of people thought he would last.
Howard said he feels the same way. He said he would get hassled for years about his ratings and then he gets to number 1 and they still hassle him. He said he eventually just did things his own way.
Howard asked how the rumors start about him being replaced. Piers said that he has an extension for another year. He said that some blogger out there is making this stuff up. He said he was taught a lesson by a cricket player. He said that every Monday morning his name was in the paper whether he won or lost. He said his name was Michael Parkinson. He said that it was like he was the only person that mattered to the people in his town.
Piers said that it's just an annoyance in your life. Howard said some people try to get under his skin but they're like mosquitos to him. He said they're just an itch.
Howard asked Piers if he's been asked not to put certain things on his show. Piers said they don't really. He said he does a lot of gun control stories on his show. Howard asked if that's why Michael Moore wrote the foreword for his book. Piers said he did. He told Howard about working for the Daily Mirror and how they had a big shooting there. He said that nothing was political over there. They lost a bunch of kids and they were all for gun control over there. He said they banned all assault weapons and hand guns. He said since then they've had an average of 35 gun deaths a year. He said here in America they have 11-13,000. He said they've had one mass shooting and not one at a school since then.
Howard said he loved when Piers and Alex Jones went at it. He had some audio from that interview. Howard played some of that for Piers.
Piers said that was a very interesting interview. He said that it showed a mentality that people think that the British are going to try to take this country back. He said that it's not going to happen like that. He said that the nuclear weapons out there have changed things. He said that the country doesn't need so many guns in circulation. Howard asked if he enjoyed that interview. Piers said he did like it.
Howard said he had Robert Blake on the show too. He said Blake thought he was after him and going after him. Howard played some of that interview too. Blake was telling Piers to be careful with what he asks him. He thought Piers was calling him a liar. Piers said he wasn't. They went back and forth and Robert eventually said that his skin is a little thin.
Howard asked if he was afraid of him. Piers said this was 10 years later after his wife had died. He said that his life had been wrecked by the whole thing and at one point he took his jacket off and the four guards came in to watch him to make sure he didn't do anything. Howard said he'd rather have Robert Blake on his show and not have Robert De Niro.
Howard said he had Robert Blake on the show years ago and he asked him something innocuous and he freaked out asking if he was calling him a monkey.
Piers said it's not clear if he's upset that his wife was killed by someone else and his career went up in smoke or if he's upset because he did it himself.
Piers said that interview was interesting. He said the other one was Charlie Sheen. He said he got Charlie on the show and told him to do it live with him. He said Charlie swore on his kids lives that he'd be there. Piers said 5 minutes before air time he wasn't there. He said he had no plan B. Piers said he showed up in his giant Maybach car. He said it was Charlie smoking a cigarette. He said he came up saying that they were going to win. Piers said they did the interview and his favorite moment was when he asked if he was drug free and Charlie brought his latest drug test results. He said he saw him scribbling on the test report and it was autographed saying ''Piers, lets get hammered. Charlie.''
Piers said that Charlie was in a crazy world with the goddesses and all of that. He said he thinks that it's more simplistic than people think. He said he interviewed Martin Sheen about it. He said Martin said that his son likes to party and he wishes he would party less.
Howard said Piers wanted to get Mel Gibson on his show so he drove to his house to get him. Howard said he was in such bad shape that he told him he probably shouldn't do his show. Piers said that he was a guy right on the edge. He said Mel is a very smart man and he's very intelligent. Piers said he had a happy marriage and it all went up with this Russian girl. He said he sat with him in his room for a couple of hours. Piers said it was an amazing thing to be involved with. He said he was half ranting and half emotional. Piers said as he was watching him he realized that he was in an appalling place. He said he could have put him on TV and gotten another Robert Blake moment. He said he thought about him being a father and he didn't want his kids to see him like that. Howard said he must have been torn because he could have been thinking about how great it would be if he did have a meltdown. Piers said that his kids could have stopped talking to him if they had seen him in this state. Howard said he didn't know that Piers was like that.
Howard gave Piers a plug for his book ''Shooting Straight: Guns, Gays, God, and George Clooney'' and asked why Clooney's name is in there. Piers said Clooney asked him the same question. He said that he wanted to talk about a lot of things that are in the American life and he wanted a celebrity in there. He said George Clooney is his kind of guy. He said he parties but he does good things for the world too. He said he's a great guy and he has a great dad too. He said Nick Clooney is a great guy and he can see where George got his charm from. He said they're the kind of people who should be stars.
Howard asked Piers if he misses America's Got Talent. Piers said that he did 6 years of America's Got Talent and 4 seasons of Britain's Got Talent. He said he couldn't have been happier to see Howard take his place. He said after so much time on that show he ran out of ways of telling people they suck. Howard said he had done it and he could see he wanted to move on.
Piers said he was doing America's Got Talent and doing the news story about the earthquake in Japan. He said he had to go do both things. At one point he went to judge AGT and he had a guy who was farting as each of the judges. He said that's when he realized he had to change something. Howard asked if that guy was Mr. Methane. Piers said it wasn't him but it was someone who did farting as his act.
Howard asked Piers about why Kate Moss kicks him. Piers said that she just has a habit of kicking him when she sees him.
Piers said he ran into Tom Cruise once and he knocked his drink out of his hand. He said he introduced himself and Tom just said hi and turned around. He said he also ran into Katie Holmes and he asked her to do the show and asked her not to bring Tom with her. He said she seemed kind of keen on the idea.
Howard said Piers has charmed them again. He gave him some plugs for his book and for his CNN show that's on at 9pm. Piers said he couldn't be happier that Howard is sitting in his AGT chair.
Howard said he should have Alex Jones on his show every night. Piers said maybe the three of them should judge a talent show. Howard said that's an idea. Howard wrapped up and went to break a short time later.
Howard said he feels bad for Hanzi. Hanzi said he does not. He said he doesn't like him. Howard said he actually does care about him. Hanzi said he doesn't know anything about him. Howard said from what he's been told he's mentally ill. Hanzi said he's going to play him up like he's a psycho. Hanzi said he hopes he dies soon. Howard said that's what's sad. Hanzi started to get worked up so Fred played his song. Hanzi said he doesn't want to be on this shitty planet. Fred kept the song playing while Hanzi was flipping out. He yelled at Fred to stop playing that fucking song.
Hanzi said he can't get a thought out. He said this doesn't serve a purpose. Howard was laughing and Hanzi said this is why he won't take his IQ test. He said he knows that he's inhuman and he knows he's not as smart as other people.
Howard asked if Hanzi is a stutterer too. Robin said she thinks he is. Fred played a few clips of him stuttering out a few words.
Howard asked Hanzi to call some radio stations up there in Canada and ask them to play The Twist. Hanzi said he hates that guy too. Gary asked if there's anyone he likes. Howard accidentally hung up on Hanzi when he picked up on another caller.
Howard said he has the new William Shatner song to play. He said that it's a cover of his song ''Golden Nickels and Golden Dimes'' that he did with Electric Comic Book in 6th grade. Howard played the original version of the song. He said they were scared of Shatner so they didn't want to ask him to do more than one take.
Howard had Hanzi back on the line and said he didn't mean to hang up. Howard let the other caller talk to Hanzi. The caller made a cuckoo clock sound and told him to go back to his room and stop calling in. Hanzi asked if this was another set up by Howard. Howard said this is real. Hanzi said people have told him that he organizes calls. Howard said he doesn't work that hard. Howard said Hanzi makes it seem like he's doing a lot more work than he actually does. Hanzi said people on Twitter buy followers. Howard said he doesn't buy any. Hanzi said he does too.
Howard took another call from a guy who went off on Hanzi. Hanzi said he doesn't want to talk to these people. He said he knows what they're going to do. The caller said he knows that everything is a conspiracy with Hanzi. Hanzi told him to get off the phone. Howard said he can't have a radio show if he keeps that up. Hanzi said that's never going to happen anyway. He said that was all a ploy to get video of his home.
Angry Black called in and told Hanzi to take his meds. The two of them went back and forth with insults for a minute. They apparently had the same argument on Twitter last night.
Howard said he has to get to the new hit song. Hanzi said he has to listen to him. Howard was getting Hanzi all worked up again so Fred played his theme song.
Hanzi said the world works like X-Men and everyone is a mutant. Howard said he agrees that Hanzi is a mutant. He let him go a short time later.
Howard asked if they gave Shatner the lyrics. Jason came in and said that he got the lyrics off a site that had them down. He said that he was ad-libbing a lot too. Howard said this is kind of an insult to Electric Comic Book. Howard said these lyrics are just wrong. He said he didn't sing that. Howard said now he knows how McCartney felt when Bill released ''Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.''
Howard let he song play and said he thinks he's going to throw up. Howard said maybe they can add some back up singers to sing along with ''silver'' and ''nickels.''
Howard said those are not the lyrics to his song. He said they have them wrong in the internet. Howard said all of the devil chimes stuff wasn't in there. Howard said he'll get upset if he reads the lyric sheet. Howard went to break a short time later.

He said it's fine when an older man has a younger woman. It's just weird when it's the other way around.
Robin said Beyonce has been holding back her latest music while other people are putting their albums out. Howard said that's smart marketing. He said you don't need to come out when they have a bunch of competition out at the same time. Howard said that's like when they have all of these movies come out at the same time.

Jon asked Jason about taking the heat for the Shatner recording thing. Jason said he has to apologize to the audience. He said they don't have a database for the lyrics hanging around. He said that he printed them off the internet and this is all his fault. Jason said that Shatner did ad-lib a bit. He said he understands the anger that's coming from the fans and from Howard. He said all he can do is say he's sorry. He said he wishes that he could blame someone for this since there were more eyes on it than just his. Jason said at the end of the day it's his responsibility. Jon asked how Jewel did it. Jason said he's not sure. He said if he had known that he was going to do this he would have had an intern transcribe it.
Steve Brandano said he, Gary and Fred tried to transcribe the lyrics and it was a tough thing to do. Gary said they had one word that was tough to figure out when they did that too.
Jon said Chubby Checker called in today and talked about The Twist being the number one song in the world. Gary said someone tweeted out today saying they thought Chubby has lost his checkers. He said if you want to hear the song The Twist then you can listen to it anywhere. He said they do play his song on the 50s channel. He said he's not going to want to hear it on the 80s channel or something like that. Benjy said that music is a money making thing and maybe that's why they don't play it. Gary said he's heard the song so many times in the past that he doesn't need to hear it because he may hear it at a wedding any time.
Jason said he thinks he heard a guy who thinks that he should be mentioned in the same breath as other musicians. He said what he would tell Chubby is that his song is still alive. He said he thinks that he's done it already and everyone knows that song.
Gary asked if Chubby belongs in the hall of fame. He said that he would compare him to Roger Maris who had a very finite time of greatness.
Jon said Chubby did a few follow up songs that he had success with. He said you can only come up with so many Twist songs though. The guys talked about the Limbo Rock song too.
Gary said he just found out that Roger Maris isn't in the baseball hall of fame. Gary said he was looking at the list of songs that Billboard has The Twist on and it has songs like the Macarena at number 7. He said Hey Jude is at number 9. He said he's sure a lot of people would agree that Hey Jude is better than the Macarena. Jason said that's all about sales and all of that. It's not about how good the song is.
Jon took a call from a guy who said that he problem with the song is that everyone has heard it so much. He said Chubby should be happy that everyone knows the song. Gary asked if he's sick of hearing Hey Jude. The caller said no. Gary asked why he's sick of hearing The Twist then. The caller said it's just been played so much.
Jon took another call from a guy who asked if they're blown away sometimes when they hear how clueless Howard and Fred are when it comes to music. Jon asked for an example. The caller said they were talking about Let it Loose and Fred played a song that was the wrong song. He said neither one of them knew what the song was. Gary said he knew one song that Howard and Fred didn't know. The caller said that's happened several times. Jason said some people sit back there saying that but some are just as clueless as Howard.
Jason said that a lot of the artists from the 50s and 60s didn't write their own music but they make it seem like that's the way it is today. Jason said he doesn't think it's that different today than it was back then. They spent a minute on that and then went to break.
Jon took a call from a guy who said he disagrees with Gary. He said he thinks that Hanzi is going to take Eric's spot on the show. He said he has the same kind of thing where he's ungrateful and he thinks that he's going to take Eric's place.
Benjy said he thinks that he has issues to work on but he has come on pretty strong over the past few months. He said that he's not sure if people really care about him. Gary said that he's not sure what he can do for him to help him. He said he has family so they're there for him. Benjy said he thinks that people act like they care about him just so they can make fun of him.
Benjy said he thinks that Hanzi knows what he's doing when he calls in. He said he's spoken to him about it and he knows he has some things that he has to take care of.
Jon took a call from a guy who asked if they think Hanzi is putting this stuff on. Gary said he doesn't think so. Jason said that he does have moments of calm but then he has these outbursts.
Ralph called in and said he couldn't disagree with Benjy more about not caring. He said Howard is worried about this retard ranting. He said it's the same thing over and over again with him. He said the guy is an idiot if he thinks that Piers Morgan wasn't a good guest. Gary said he's trying to project a rational thought on an irrational person.
Ralph said he thinks that Hanzi could kill himself tomorrow. He said that he's not like Eric at all. Gary said he likes Eric on the show but in minor doses. Jason said that it can be overkill when Howard goes to him every morning for two weeks straight. Ralph said he can never get enough of that. Ralph said he loves when Howard has time to talk to Eric for a long time. He said he loves when he puts him on to ask celebrities questions too. He said they're always awful questions.
Gary said he loves when Howard picks up on Eric demands to be left on the air when they have a big guest coming in next. Ralph said Eric will want to talk about something ridiculous and they have a huge guest like Paul McCartney coming in.
Jon said he wanted to talk about Howard's statement about not having a brother growing up. He said that brothers aren't happy having brothers. Gary said he thinks that Howard only hears the stories about the brothers that people didn't like. Jason said that he's not sure his life would change that much if he didn't have his brothers. He said he knows that's horrible to say. He said they're all coming over for Thanksgiving. He said he loves his brothers but they remind him of the things he doesn't like about himself. He said his one brother and he didn't get along growing up at all. He said the other one was 7 or 8 years younger than him.
Jon asked if Jason has a favorite brother. Jason said he does. He has a favorite parent too. Jon said that Jason thinks you have to have a favorite kid too. Gary said he doesn't. Jason said bonds with his one brother more than the other. He said he connects with that one. Gary said that's not a brother though. Jason said it doesn't mean he doesn't love his brother though.
Jon said they might have to get some microphones at Jason's thanksgiving. Jason said he has a big table now so that might work. Jason said his wife wants to get a nativity scene for the house. He said they don't go to church and they don't celebrate. He said his wife wanted to get one of those menorah's to put in the window of the house. He told her no. Gary said he's going to get him one of those big ones you put on your lawn.
Gary said the other day he said he wasn't sure if Lucas was baptized. He said that he was thinking of communion so he said he wasn't sure. He said both of the kids were baptized and Jackson did communion. He said he stopped paying attention to all of that after that.
Jason said he can deal with Santa and all of that but the baby Jesus stuff he's kind of uncomfortable with. Gary said he used to put up the nativity scene every year for his parent's house. He said they had a whole set up but now he doesn't do any of that. They went to break a short time later. Jason threw in that he didn't mean anything with that brother discussion earlier.

He said nothing gets fixed and nothing changes if you don't. He said that's why Scott DePace is in there every few weeks arguing with someone. The caller said Jason could have made that go on for two weeks if he really wanted to.
Jon took a call from a guy who asked if Howard not getting angry at Jason is because it's a Jewish thing. Gary said it's probably more about his track record. He said Jason works really hard and he doesn't screw up much. Jason said he went in and took responsibility for it. He said Howard could have beat him up more over it. He said he does feel that there is a chance that this could fester and Howard could come in Monday with guns blazing at him. Jon said they had to end the show after that. They were done around 11:00am.
