Howard started the show talking about how he's not in the mood for this today. He said he's going to go play golf like that guy on the Mets Matt Harvey. He said he thought he was called the Dark Knight because his name was Knight. Howard said everything is so stupid. He said he's so down on everything today. Robin asked what happened. Howard said he'll call her later. He said he always calls but he didn't call Robin. He said he'll yell at her later. He said she'll get hers later.
Howard said there are days when you're down and he doesn't feel funny today. He said it's a psychological thing of course. He said he has to be there and he has a job to do. Robin said the Mets pitcher missed a pitching assignment yesterday. Howard said Robin has been there during her cancer issues. Howard said they operated on her when she was off a week and then she came back. He said she was on the air the following day. Robin said that's right. Howard said they almost removed the entire lower part of her body. He said they removed so much of her body she was like new.
Howard said a lot of people suffer from depression. Howard said imagine making it to the Mets and then he has a freak out. Robin said this is what happens when things come to easily to people. Robin said they're the golden years and you can't pitch like that forever.
Howard said Lenny Dykstra had a work ethic like no one else. He said you have to go out there and play the game. He said do what you have to do you fuck.
Howard said speaking of Lenny he has a Cinco de Mayo message for Robin. Howard said if you're sick of Lenny then don't listen. Howard played the clip and Lenny asked Robin to have some margaritas for dinner and he'll suck on her pussy. He said he has to do that for her and get to that beautiful bush. Howard said that's why they called him nails because he doesn't give up. He keeps working it. Howard said just let him eat that pussy already and get it over with. Robin said ''Oh my goodness.'' Howard said just get it over with and do it. He said he thinks his message was offensive to everyone.
Howard said he looked on the calendar and saw that Memorial Day was coming up so he knows that they'll have another message from Lenny for that. Howard said he's sure it'll be about eating her pussy. Howard said he has Lenny singing about Robin. He played the song for Robin. Howard cut it off saying he'd had enough.
Robin said please give that guy a job. Howard said he has a job to do but Robin won't let him do it. Howard said keep at it Lenny. He said he's tough as nails.
Howard said he drank his coffee but he's not shot out of a cannon today. He said he's a Dunkin Donuts guy now. He said he's not drinking Starbucks now. He said he's sticking with this. He said it's not as bitter as Starbucks. Howard said it's not as strong. Robin said she always thought that about Starbucks. It's too bitter for her.
Howard played a commercial about his coffee drinking. Then he had a song parody from Eli Braden about him being shot out of a cannon after drinking his coffee.
Howard said that the other weird thing is the coffee shits. He said he has a weird tiny doody. He said it's like his body evacuates. He said he doesn't understand the doody thing. He said it's always in there. He said it's sticky. Robin said when man started to walk on two legs that screwed things up. Robin said cats and dogs have a nice doody because they are walking on 4 legs. Howard said that's an interesting theory. He said Robin is the doody whisperer. He said she has her book and all of that stuff. He said that he has to tell her that it disturbs him that when he goes he has a lot in there. He said he doesn't feel it fully come out. He said it always feels like there's a piece in there. He has to dig it out. Howard said he hasn't been using his Squatty Potty. He said he was having nice full eliminations. Robin said they say that the squatting thing is necessary because when we stood up we ruined the angle. Howard said he may start walking on all fours. He said he dreams every night that he is empty.
Howard said he's a celebrity and he shouldn't have to worry about this stuff. He said he stopped using the Squatty Potty because it became a production to use it. He said he kept it in the closet and he had to get it out of there and then set it up and use it. He said it was too much of a production.
Howard said he tried to get a full elimination by hanging upside down like a bat. He said that didn't work either. He said it bothers him. Howard asked what they did in cave times. Robin said they squatted. Howard said he does squat on the floor right before he goes. He said he does that to induce it. Howard said he talks to himself and coaches himself. He said everything with him is an effort.
Robin asked if other people are doing this too. Howard said imagine if his wife walked into the room when he was talking to himself.
Howard said there it is. He said someone wrote him an email saying he hates the song for the Priest and Boy bit. He said he was at work singing it. Howard said that's very popular with black people. He said black people are willing to talk to them more than white people. Howard said they had a big condom full of yogurt and they started eating it. He said that's pretty disgusting. Robin said it kept her interest and she didn't tune out.
Howard said JD found some audio of Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa talking. He said that he can't believe they're paying the guy the same as Kelly Ripa. Howard said they also tied in that ABC is bringing back American Idol. Howard said Ryan likes him but he has a beef in the industry about working a bunch of jobs and he's not making the same money as Howard Stern. He said that he's trying to make what he's making but it's taking 15 jobs to do it. Howard said he has all of these shows and he's not happy that he can't make as much as he does with just one job.
Howard said Ryan doesn't even know what he makes. He said he's pissed that it's just one job though. He said it's a whole thing. He said according to people who know him this is what's going on. He said he's trying to get Ryan in there to talk about it. He said he may not have time.
Howard said he heard Ryan has to fly in on Sunday night and then he tapes the first hour of his radio show the night before the show. Then he has to do the Kelly Ripa thing. He said he does that and then does a radio show for 3 hours. Howard said you can't just hire this guy. You have to build him things. Robin said E! had to do that for him too. He had to have a studio there. Howard said he heard that he has 3 studios in New York. He said on the way there he drums on a bucket to make more money than him.
Howard said that subway job has to be fun. He said they must have wanted to be in a real band and they just weren't able to make it. Howard said drums aren't meant to be a solo instrument. Howard said that's why people go to the bathroom when a drummer does a solo. He said the singing is fine. He played a clip of a guy playing in the subway. He said it's just distracting. Howard said this is what it's like down in the subway.
Howard said to people who live there that's just annoying. He said it's charming to visitors though. He said public transportation is a nightmare. He said he has a clip of a woman yelling on the subway. He said if someone acts that way you just keep your head down. He said you pretend it isn't happening and keep your head down. You keep your eye on them in case they make a move. Howard said this woman is yelling at her husband for cheating on her and no one is saying anything.
Howard said he was reading in the appear that there was a guy who sprawls out on the bench and won't let anyone sit there near him. He said one guy takes a picture of him and sends it to the authorities and no one cares.
Howard played the clip of the woman yelling at her husband about cheating on her. She was screaming at the top of her lungs. Howard said Richard almost got kicked in the head by a dancer on the subway. Howard said he came really close to that. Howard played more of the woman screaming at her husband. Howard wondered who would cheat on such a lovely woman. He said this is a great commercial for Uber.
Howard let that clip play and the woman kept screaming at the guy. Howard said this is a guy just sitting on the bus recording this woman. Robin said she hopes she's just rehearsing for a play. Howard said she's not attacking anyone so she's one of the nicer people.
Howard said Richard sat in a bum's shit. He said Richard came in and sat down in it. Robin said she just saw the mayor opening up a new ferry last week. She said all he does is talk about making public transportation better.
Richard came in and said he learned a lesson from sitting in the shit. He said everyone was screaming at him not to sit down but he had his headphones on and he didn't hear them yelling at him. He said he still went to where he was going. He said he was about an hour into his subway ride. Howard asked if it was like diarrhea. Richard said it was partially dry but it stuck to his pants. He said he just kept going. He said he didn't get new clothes because it was like midnight and no one was open. Howard said that's so gross. Howard said people were waving at him not to sit down. Howard said when you walk around with your headphones in you don't have all of your senses. He said you can't block out your sense of hearing. Richard said he doesn't do that anymore. Howard said people run outside with their headphones and you have to keep your ears open. Richard said he still runs with headphones. He said he's come close to getting hit by cars.
Richard said Will Murray has the greatest story about someone sitting in shit. Howard said the story had better be good. Richard said he thinks it's awesome. Will came in and said his buddy used to go to a horse race and he went into a port-a-potty and it was so full that it was coming out the top and he saw two butt cheek imprints in the top of the shit. Howard said that's so disgusting. He said that guy will probably live to 150. He said you try not to get germs and all of that and then you get sick anyway. He said it's fucking horse shit.
Howard let Richard go after that. Howard said imagine you sit in shit. Richard said he hung outside with the shit on his pants. Howard said it's like the time Elephant Boy shit his pants and went to see Gary. Gary said he could see the shit stains on his socks. Howard said Elephant Boy said he didn't want to miss seeing Gary. He said no one could stand near him because of the smell. He said the guy didn't care. Howard said there was no good reason.
Howard said he hard Richard is in the new Guardians of the Galaxy. Richard said he has a line in it. He said he says ''Down there!'' Howard asked why they let him do that. Richard said he's been friends with James the director for a long time. Howard asked how long he had to be on set. Richard said it was for the day. He said it was so cool. He said he sat next to Kurt Russell in the make up trailer. He said the movie is hilarious. Robin said she wants to see it.
Howard said it's a big deal to be in a movie like that. He said it is a waste of a day though. Robin asked what else he's going to do, look for more shit to sit in? Richard said it was an awesome day for him. Howard asked if he talked to Kurt Russell. Richard said he didn't want to bother him. He said the wrestler Batista is great in the movie. Howard said he's so sick of wrestlers becoming actors. Richard said it's kind of acting when they wrestle. Howard said it's not good acting. Howard said that John Cena wasn't good in the Amy Schumer movie. Howard said that The rock has that dumb tattoo on him too. Richard said he thinks it's cool. Howard said Richard should get some pride and ask for a full part. He said it's like what Stan Lee does in every Marvel movie. Howard said he looks like a senile old man in what they do with him. Richard said he wanted to be in the movie. Howard said of course he did. He told him to get out. Howard said they make a billion dollar movie and they have Richard in it as a goof. Howard said they're goofing on Richard. Richard said no.
Howard said this happens with the directors who listen to the show. Richard said Howard can't be happy for him. Howard said he can be happy for him having a baby and stooping drinking. He said seeing him pop up for half a second in Guardians of the Galaxy he can't. He said he's just being goofed on. Richard said he doesn't think so. Howard told him to get out.
Howard took a call from a guy who said he sounds extra whiny this morning. He said everyone wants to be in the movies. Howard asked the guy what he does for a living. the guy said he works in the oil fields. Howard asked the guy if they put him in the movie as a goof would he like it. Howard ended up hanging up on the guy. Howard said that what this guy does is important. He said if the boss wanted to replace him with another guy who had no experience he'd be upset.
Howard said that he believes in Richard and gave him a real job. Howard said if this guy believes in Richard then give him the Bradley Cooper part or the Kurt Russell part. Howard said you put him in for a second it's a goof. Howard said it's like having a guy come in and hold a scalpel for a doctor for a second.
Howard said JD noticed that Ryan Seacrest always has lists. He said that's his piece of business on that show. He said it's his show and tell bit. Robin said that Kelly always starts the conversation. Howard said Ryan had just started so he had a first day of work list. Howard said Kelly ash to get him under control. He said the list was boring. He said it should be a list of places to sit in someone's pile of shit. Howard said no wonder they pay him $17 million.
Howard played the clip of Ryan doing his list with Kelly. Howard said he should fuck Kelly on their first day. Robin said she noticed they hold hands on their way out. Howard said they're acting like they're in love. Howard said they're going to fuck on the couch. Howard said this won't last. Howard said this is like the first day of school. He got back to the list and played the clip. Ryan was talking about how nervous he was. He read the list and said you have to show up early. The audience clapped. Ryan went on with the list about what to wear and how to be humble and things like that. Howard said the other one is ''Don't be ugly.''
Howard said the next day Ryan said Kelly and Mark had been married for along time so he had a list of successful marriage tips. Howard said this is a thing for him. He said you know he's not coming up with this stuff. He said he has someone hading him a sheet of paper. He said this is his thing on the show though. He reads lists. Howard played some audio of Ryan talking about that. Howard said from now on he's just going to read lists on the show.
Howard said this is the guy who is going to come out and read lists every day. Howard said he's going to have a list where he talks about locking the bathroom so no one comes in when you shit. He said he'll have another list about not sitting in shit.
Howard said he thinks tomorrow he'll read his grocery list to Robin. Robin said that would be more interesting if Ryan did that. She said these lists have nothing to do with Ryan. Howard went through more list items that Ryan could talk about. Howard said he pictures him being handed a list 3 seconds before he comes out. He said he's sure they're from some magazine or something. He said that they probably pull them out of Red Book or something.
Howard had one thing on his list about not making your wife sing the Name Game. He said he had to hear about that the whole weekend. Howard said it's fun to sing. Robin said she was singing it the whole weekend. Howard said sure it's fun. Fred played the song and Howard and Robin sang along. Howard said Robin needs some practice.
Howard played a prank call the guys made to a woman where they had him singing the Name Game and tried to get her to sing it. The woman hung up. They had another woman who started to sing it. She hung up too. They called another woman and she said he's crazy and must want her to curse him out. She hung up too.
Howard got back to his list of how to stay married. Howard said don't call her mother a cunt. Robin said that doesn't go over well. Howard said have a healthy boner too. Howard said he has a list of how to stay married a long time. He was goofing on Ryan's list.
Howard gave a few more suggestions. Howard said he should sit there and read lists to Robin. Robin said maybe he should do that on days when he's not in a good mood. Howard had more items for his list and said cum on her face but don't cum in her eyes. He had a few more. Howard said he watched America's Funniest Home Videos last nigh and they have a black guy on it now. Gary said it's Alfonso Ribero. Howard said he is one happy mother fucker. Robin said he won Dancing with the Stars so that's why he got that job. Robin said that was a couple of seasons ago.
Howard said Ryan's thing is lists. He said JD picked up on that. Howard played another list but he read that Bob Saget stopped hosting America's Funniest Home Videos in 1997. Howard said he had no idea.
Howard played Ryan Seacrest giving Kelly and the audience a list of things to talk about. Howard said no wonder he's getting $17 million. He said tune back in tomorrow for another list. Howard said he's keeping it real with his lists. Real stupid.
Howard played the clip and they were talking about where they would want to go. Howard asked how long until Kelly wants him out of there. Ryan gave the top places on the list of places to go and Hawaii was at the top. Howard said it would be great if he lost his mind and said the number one destination is her pussy. Howard said at least Michael Strahan didn't do lists.
Howard played the clip again to hear people clapping. Howard said there's a thing on Facebook that's so annoying. He said it's people putting lists of your 10 favorite concerts but one is fake. Howard said that's the stupidest thing. He asked why anyone would care. He said Ryan made a list of his concerts and let the audience figure out which one was fake. Howard played some audio of Ryan doing that. Howard said he can see Kelly's eyes rolling into the back of her head.
Howard asked how this fucking guy got $17 million. Howard said he's explaining the lists again. Howard said fuck you with this. He said this is his show prep. In the clip Ryan listed his 10 favorite concerts that he's been to over the years. He said one is a concert he has not attended. Howard said it's a good thing they hired him. Howard made up his own list.
Howard said that everything is so dumb. He asked what it all means. He asked if we were born to do this stuff. Howard said you don't deserve to live if you're watching that. He said it's a huge waste of time. Howard said today he's going to list 49 states and one of them is one he's never been to. Howard started to name states and asked Robin if he's been there. Howard asked about North Carolina and Robin said no. Howard said she's right. Howard said this is what they're talking about. Howard said he has to get the fuck out of there. Howard said Ryan is getting $17 million for that.
Howard asked Robin about more states. He went to Arizona and New Mexico. Howard told Robin about the Grand Canyon and how stupid it is to ride down on donkey's. Ward said he's been to Nevada too. He said he was there with Robin.
Howard asked if he's been to Delaware. Robin said he has driven through it at least. Howard has been to Vermont and Maine. He said he went to his cousin's farm up there. He said he used to go there all the time. Howard asked if the show is over yet. He said they can do a commercial break and continue to do the list. He said he's going to punish the audience with his bit.
Howard said a million fat housewives just tuned in to hear the lists. Howard said now he's going to name 10 foods and one is one he's never had. Howard said eggplant. Robin said yes. Howard named some things he has eaten. He said he has never had Cheetos but he remembered he has. He said they're good actually. Howard named Venison and Robin figured it was that one that he had never had. Howard said she's right. He said the deer are too cute to eat. Howard said now they can go home.
Howard asked JD to record the show and see if they do a list today. JD said he's on it. Howard asked if Kelly is doing most of the heavy lifting. JD said they talk about personal life stuff but it's the same bullshit every day. Howard said he sees JD back there watching that stuff and complaining that he doesn't want to watch it. Howard said he has to watch it because that's how he found out about the lists.
Howard said Gary is trying to get Ryan Seacrest in there. He said he's been on before and he's a very nice guy. He said the guy doesn't have to prep for his show so why not be nice. Howard said maybe he can talk to him about why he doesn't make as much money as he does. Robin said he can give him a list of reasons. Howard did a live commercial read and went to break after that.

Howard said they might have a whole bunch of new Wack Packers from that place. Howard said that this guy was dressed as Zacherley. Robin said maybe it was Phantom of the Opera.

Howard thanked him for doing this. They had Jon say ''Thank you'' to Howard. They had Jon talking about his favorite straws. Howard asked how his book isn't a best seller. Howard said he might be worse than Ryan Seacrest. Howard said it's a list only a guy with a huge ass would make. Howard had to cut the guys off. They stared to play another list. Howard asked how Jon didn't have a huge hit with that book.
Howard got back to clips from Broadway-Con. Howard said this guy who had his own web site didn't hesitate to sing his favorite song from the musical ''Pippin.'' Howard played him singing that song.

Howard took a call from a guy who said he's been trying to go to Saturday Night Live for years and he got to go Saturday. He said Gary, Jason and Will were there this weekend. Howard asked why they were there. Howard said Gary asked if he had watched. Howard said he saw the opening sketch but that was it. Howard said Gary didn't tell him he was there. Howard said he thinks he's afraid to tell him. Gary said they were at dress rehearsal and they had a reference to the show. Gary said that they were asked to go see how things work over there so that's why they were there. Howard asked Gary why he didn't tell him. Gary said he thought they'd talk about it tomorrow where they mentioned his name and Sal's name.
Howard said Gary was there with Jason and Will and then they put their names in the sketch. Gary said that they had a character's name that was ''Sal Delabate'' and they had put Sal and his last name together. Howard asked why he was saving that. Gary said they were going to play it for him later. Howard said he has the clip. He played the clip where they mentioned a character's name which was Sal Delabate. Howard said that name gets a laugh all the time. Howard said Gary's spelling is Dell'Abate and it's funny spelling. Howard played more of the clip.
Howard asked if Gary learned anything there. Gary said Jason did. Jason said he learned that their staff is way too big over there. He said he'd cut about 2/3 of their staff. Gary said they still hand write cue cards. Jason said they were all very nice over there. He said they could streamline things over there. Howard said now he's like Lorne Kaplan there. Howard said they have to come up with stuff quickly there. Howard said they have to do that because they move around with the actors. Howard asked what good this is if they don't use cue cards there.
The caller said Gary was on his phone the whole time he was there and he was asked not to use it. Gary said he used it once about 20 minutes before the show and he was asked to put it away so he did.
Howard said when he does his Gary impression you can't even understand what he's saying. Howard did his impression of Gary talking about using his phone and being asked to put it away. Howard said Gary says he learned some stuff but he learned that you can use his teeth as cue cards.
Will came in and said that he didn't think the phone thing was that big of a deal but this woman was yelling at everyone. Howard said they have rules there. He said that's why she yelled at him. Will said the best thing was that he kept looking at his phone in his jacket. Howard asked what was so important. Will said he may have been following the French election. Robin asked what was so important. Gary said he got a text and he wanted to make sure it wasn't from home. Howard asked what it could have been. Gary said it could have been an emergency. Will said he was scared to check his phone. Will said the woman yelled at Gary to put it away when he had it out. He said it was scary even though it was 20 minutes before the show.
Howard said Gary was probably texting Ross at the Bruce Springsteen concert. Gary said he wasn't texting anyone. Howard asked what the fuck. He said Gary got yelled at by some girl. Will said she was a page. Howard said they should have made him leave. Howard said Gary had to check every 20 minutes to see if there was an emergency at home. Howard said the kids are out of the house. He said there was no emergency. Howard said it's embarrassing. Gary said he knows it's not an emergency. He said he just checked it. Howard said they're producing a live show and they have to police Gary.
Howard said they have rules there too. He said they don't let Sal out of the room until the guest leaves. Will said that's a good point. He said it's like Gary telling guests not to chew gum and then he goes and chews gum. Howard said they have to have someone assigned to Gary after that. Gary said he put it away and he apologized.
Howard got a note saying Gary was making plans to go out with Ross after the taping. Howard said Gary is there as an ambassador of the show and he does that. Howard said it's like going to that White House Correspondents dinner and asking Bradley Cooper to come over to his table to say hello to everyone. Howard asked if he can go somewhere and not embarrass him. Will said he thinks Gary was still eating when he did that to Bradley. Howard said Gary checks his phone even though they have signs saying no phones. Howard said good job hiding it. Will said he had it out in the open but then he tried to be sneaky about it.
Gary said the time he got yelled at was about 20 minutes before the show. He said then he got a text and checked it inside his jacket. Howard asked what emergency he'd be able to handle from the phone. Howard and Fred did their impressions of Gary defending himself. Howard said Gary checked his phone in his jacket. Will said that was during the show. Howard said he used his phone during the show and hid it in his coat. The caller said he saw that going on. He said that is kind of a Baba Bigshot kind of move.
Howard said that now he has to apologize to Lorne when he sees him. He said he knows Gary broke the rules. He said he's not even sure what to say about that.
Howard took a call from the page that caught Gary. It was one of the guys in the back even though the page that yelled at Gary was a woman.
Howard asked when this is going to end. Will said that everyone heard him being yelled at too. Howard said ''Oh my god...'' He said even after getting yelled at he still checked his phone. The caller said there were plenty of people standing outside who would have loved that seat and wouldn't have checked their phones.
Howard was going to ask Gary a question but he stopped himself. He said that he's a Rara Rulebreaker. Howard said Gary is the size of a whale. He said he runs like 4-6 miles but he's fatter than he's ever seen. He said he must be running to the deli.
Will said they went out to eat and then went to Saturday Night Live. He said then Gary went out to Nobu with Ross after that. Howard said he could study Gary forever.

Will said the woman wasn't very nice about it either. Howard said he didn't know Gary was going to Saturday Night Live. He said he actually doesn't want to know. He doesn't want to be in that loop. Will said he was excited about it. He said that they were just kind of in the audience though. He said they didn't get to find out how they run things there.

Howard asked if Gary has been washing his peanut butter spoon. He said he heard he dips his spoon in peanut butter and doesn't wash it. He just puts the spoon away. Howard said that's disgusting.

Howard asked if he should call and apologize to Lorne. Will said he doesn't think so. He said some of the guys there were really excited to see Gary. He said Bobby Moynihan was very excited. Gary said Bobby called them down to talk to them before they left. Howard asked what Gary talked to Bobby about. Will said that they talked about the character being named after Sal and Gary.

Howard said he's going to sell this as a cure for insomnia. Howard said he thought when you had chickens you had chicken feed and they don't need to dig up the yard for worms. He said he's seen pictures in commercials for chickens. Robin said maybe the babies don't use feed. Richard came in and said it's a natural thing for them to do. He said it's an instinct. Richard said the yard is just dirt at times. Howard asked if his dad eats the baby chickens. Richard said they eat maybe half and get eggs from the other half.
Howard wondered how they choose. Richard said he remembers as a kid he'd just yank their heads off and they'd run around with their heads off. Howard said it's freaky. He remembered seeing that happen.
Richard said he walks faster now that he lives there in the city. He said things have changed since he moved out there. He said his wife is from around Philly so they go out to visit in Kansas and they'll visit for like 4 or 5 hours. Howard said his parents kick him out after like 10 minutes. He said they told him not to even come over the other day. He said he told that story. He said he was going to stop by around 4:30 but they eat around then. He said he heard his dad tell his mom to tell him not to come. Howard did his impression of his parents having that talk. He said they shoe him away like a bee. Richard said they chose dinner over him. Howard said that's right. Howard said they didn't know if he was coming over to tell them he has a week to live or something.
Howard said he won't get his parents Sirius. He said he won't even bring it up. He said he wishes his family didn't have it. He said he gave management a list of people he wants to block from having it. Richard said he has told his family to not question it if he does something crazy on the show. Howard said he knows Richard's dad was wondering what he was up to with Sal all the time. Richard said he knows the guy he used to bathe with so he knows he's been doing stuff like that for a long time.
Howard said that Richard's dad is worried a snake might eat the unhatched eggs. Howard played more of that call with Richard and his dad. Richard's dad said that they saw a black snake and they know that they're out there. He said the snake probably spent the winter in the well and that's where he's been hanging out. Robin said this reminds her of a phony phone call Richard has made. She said he'd get a woman on the phone and keep asking her how she's doing. Richard said he and his dad once got a flat tire and they had to walk to a house to ask to use the phone and there were women talking on the line and just asking each other how they were doing.
Howard said his father doesn't want to talk to anyone. He said when he does talk he just gets angry. He said if he did talk to Richard's dad his dad would ask what's wrong with him. Howard said he'd ask who would want to talk about that stuff. Howard said his dad never talked about being in the army and he would ask why anyone would talk about that. He said his dad would yell at him to shut up and shorten his story if he talked too long. Richard said he has to carve out time to talk because they talk for hours.
Richard said he's sorry if he keeps talking to Howard out there. He said he doesn't do it every day. Howard said he does it a lot. He said he isn't even in the room with him and he's still talking to him. Richard said he feels like he's being rude if he doesn't keep talking. Howard said if he's not in the room then he doesn't have to talk anymore. Howard said he has to yell back at him if he keeps talking.
Howard played another clip where Richard's dad talks about the eggs and snakes getting them. Howard asked Richard why he doesn't know this stuff. Richard said when he lived at home he did some farm work but he wanted to be a drummer so bad. Howard said he must have talked about this stuff at home though. He said his dad is a farmer. He said he must have talked about work. He said his own dad would yell at him to shut up if he asked about his work. He said his dad worked with some cool guys and he would tell him to shut up if he asked about the work. Howard said his dad hated the record label he started called Ping Pong Records. He said he'd ask about that and his dad would yell at him to shut up. He thought it was cool but his dad didn't want to talk about it.
Howard said his dad claims he had Billy Joel signed but the partner didn't hold on to him. He said the label didn't go anywhere. He said his dad knew it wasn't going to work. He said that his partner was a really talented guy. He said if he brought up his name his dad would yell at him to shut up.
Howard said he just wanted to relate to his dad and it was so hard. He said if Richard brought up that stuff his father would talk. Howard said his dad wouldn't talk. Howard said his dad would yell at him to shut up and sit quietly so he could learn something. Howard said it was a nightmare. Howard said if you watched a show with his dad it was alright. He said his dad would speak during the show but he wasn't allowed to say anything. He said his dad was fucking miserable.
Howard said he got into radio so he'd have someone to listen to him. He said his dad worshiped radio. He said his dad was impressed with Vincent Gardenia. He worked with him and he'd ask about that and his dad would yell at him to shut up.
Howard said he remembers his parents going to see a play that Vincent was in and his dad went to visit him and Vincent didn't know who his dad was. He said he was in the Death Wish movies. Howard said his dad would talk about Raymond Burr and what a faggela he was. He said he'd tell stories about him dancing around the studio. He said his parents weren't homophobic but they just used that word. He said it's just the way they talked.
Howard said his mother broke the news to him that Liberace was a faggela too. Howard said he'll be in his final resting place soon so all of this nightmare will be over.
Howard said he likes hearing Richard and his dad talk. Robin said it sounds like whenever Howard tried to talk to his dad all he did was scream. Howard said he grew up in a black neighborhood and he was like a scared white boy. Howard said he had kids beating the shit out of him and his dad didn't care. Richard said his dad would help him catch snakes and stuff. Howard said white people didn't like him when he moved to a white neighborhood. Howard said no one but his friend Lou liked him. He said Lou was a friend. He said he had a couple of guys who liked him. Richard asked if he talks to Lou a lot. Howard said they don't talk a lot but they'll be friends forever. He said they email like once a year. He said he'll always consider Lou a friend.
Howard played more of the snake discussion with Richard and his dad. Richard's dad talked about sticking his hand in dog food one time and a possum bit him. He said he has a lid on that dog food now. Howard said this is a longer conversation than all of the conversations he had with his dad in his whole life. Howard said if they did interact it was very short. Howard said his dad would ask him what he learned from the newspaper and things like that. He said he'd quiz him like a school teacher. He said he doesn't talk about anything personal. Richard said he talks about current events too.
Howard said in this clip they talk about baseball. Howard played that and Richard asked his dad what he thinks about the Royals this year. Richard's dad said they'll probably break his heart again this year. Howard said what's nice is that they actually listen to what the other person is saying and wait for them to finish answering. Howard let the clip play and Richard and his dad wrapped up their conversation and said goodbye. Howard said this is how he imagines a call going. He said they talk about baseball and all of that. Howard said his dad took him to a game once and it was a horrible experience. Howard said his dad had the score card to fill out and he wondered why he was doing it. Howard said he'd never talk. He said he'd ask what he was doing and his dad would yell at him to get his own score card. He wouldn't do anything with it because he didn't know what to do. He never taught him. He said he was supposed to know how to fold the newspaper too like it was something in his blood. Howard said he'd have a belly ache from the game and it was just a disaster. Howard said it wasn't fun. He said everything was horrible.
Howard said he's trying to have fun now but he can't do it. He said he sees the negative in everything. Richard said he'll go to a game with him. Howard said he's not going to do that. He said his fun is fucking a woman. He said that's fun.
Howard said he had the guys speed up Richard and his dad talking to double speed and it was still slow. Howard played a clip where they were talking at a normal pace. Howard said it's boring at any speed. Robin said their conversation is really just a half hour long. Howard said this explains why Meth is so popular out there. He said that no one is in a rush. He said then they slowed it down and it's even funnier. Howard played that clip and it was really slow. Everyone was laughing at the clip.
Howard said he'd rather watch them than Ryan Seacrest on the Kelly Ripa show. Richard said he has a list of people who have lost fingers to different things that bit them. He said he had a bus driver that was noodling and he got his finger bitten off by a snapping turtle. Howard said city people don't know from that shit. Richard said he knew that guy for like 10 years before he heard that story. Howard said he was food for an animal. He said that's trauma for some people. Richard said his dad would get stung by a catfish and he'd have to go to the hospital and it was no big deal for him. He said those stingers are poisonous so he'd just let it bleed.
Richard said he had a teacher who was bitten by a rattle snake twice and they just tied him down to the bed to let the poison work its way through.
Richard said he would be out in the woods and see a bobcat. He said he was afraid that it was going to get him. Howard said it must have been crazy when he moved to New York and everyone was moving fast. Richard said he lived in Florida for a while so he worked his way into it.
Howard took a call from Chad in St. Louis who said he feels like he hates Richard deep down. Howard said these people are assholes. He said that he doesn't hate Richard. He said he got a lot of email about that yesterday. He said he's around Richard all the time and people are such assholes. Chad said he seems envious of Richard. Howard said he's not envious at all but he loves Richard. Richard said he loves him too. Howard said he loves all of the guys there. Howard said don't be so analytical about him. Robin said he's just giving Richard advice. Howard told Chad he's just an asshole. He hung up on him. He said Chad doesn't know anything about his relationship with Richard.
Howard said these guys put his guys in movies as a promotional thing. He said it's a manipulation. Richard said he's friends with James Gunn. Howard said he's a fan of the show. Howard said they chose him for the role because they knew he'd talk about it. Howard said these guys are so thick. Howard said on Twitter they were talking about James Gunn talking to Paul Feig about putting different guys from the show in their movies. Howard said it's a goof on these guys. He said he believes in these guys but they're being goofed on. Richard said he doesn't mind it. Howard said he has to explain everything to them.
Howard said Benjy just did another Sharknado but he doesn't get it. He said that it's not doing anything for him. Howard said he bets Benjy shows up on time for that gig. Howard said Richard is 10 times better than the 5 second role in that movie. Howard said Richard is better than that. He said this is fun working with him. Richard said it is. Howard said he's not goofing on him. He said he's giving him a salary and a life. Howard said James Gunn isn't employing him. He said he can make him a puppet like he did with Bradley Cooper. Richard said he is busy there so he doesn't have a lot of time. Howard said he doesn't have a 401K with that guy. Howard said his best friend is Jim Meyer because he employs him. He said that guy gives him a 401K.
Howard said Richard can have fun but just know what's going on there. Richard said he's a fan of the movie and he loves James. He said he's awesome. Howard said go have a baby and get in movies. Howard said the directors are doing it for the amusement. Howard said it's like Pesci in Goodfellas asking if he amuses them. Howard said that's Richard. He said the two directors got together taking about Richard and JD. He said they're going to put JD in the new ''It'' movie. Howard said they do that as a goof. Howard let Richard go after that. Richard thanked him for the nice words about his dad. Howard said he loves Richard and his dad. Robin said maybe he was a good son. She said maybe Howard wasn't a good son.
Howard said that these directors put his guys in movies as a goof. He said it's that way with Gary too. He said even with Ronnie. He said he's a movie star too. He said they put him in the end with the credits. Howard said he believes in them and pays them. He said Gary pops up in the new Adam Sandler movie but he's in it for like 5 seconds.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that segment was great. He said when he slowed down the voices he had to pull over from laughing so hard. Howard said he has more. The caller said he's not sure what he's going to do when he retires. Howard thanked him for that and played more of the slowed down conversation between Richard and his dad. Howard said he could listen to that all day.
Howard took a call from a guy who said that he spent 20 minutes how his dad treated him but then he spent 10 minutes ragging on Richard. Howard said what comes around goes around. Howard let him go and did a live commercial read. They went to break a short time later.

Howard took a call from High Register Sean who said he'd like to be called Seany. Howard said Sean called in the first time and he thought he'd be in the Wack Pack. Howard said he came in and he spoke fine. Howard said he didn't have the weird voice. Howard said it turned out that when he drinks he speaks normally. He said he ended up throwing him right out. Sean was stuttering and trying to say something but Howard didn't understand what he was saying.
Howard said that he called in back in 2008 but he lost interest in him when he came in there. Howard asked Sean what he wanted to say. Sean asked how he lives with himself. Howard said it's not easy. He said he has a hard time with it. He said that's why he's in the psychiatrists office. Sean said he's on to his plot and he's there to expose it. He said that it's systemic murder of the Wack Pack.

Shuli came in and told Howard that he's a big conspiracy guy. Shuli said he loses his stutter when he sings or drinks. Shuli said he thinks that Howard is having the Wack Pack murdered. Howard asked Sean to sing his accusations instead. Sean did that. He sang asking how Howard can live with himself. He didn't stutter. Howard said Mel Tillis was like that too. He had a bad stutter and when he'd sing he wouldn't stutter.
Howard asked why he's killing off the Wack Pack. Shuli said Sean thinks that's so no one else can have them. Sean said Howard is so protective of his jokes and bits. Howard said this is boring. He asked if Sean is getting any pussy. Shuli said he's married with kids. He said he was doing stand up and clubs were paying him to do his thing. He said he was busting his ass and then he got a letter from some fan pranking him telling him to stop doing stand up. He thought it was real and he stopped. Sean said he can't afford a court case. Howard said he has a friend who got an email saying her computer was very hackable and they asked for her password so they could fix it. She gave them the password. Howard said that you'd think Sean would check it out to make sure it was real. Sean said a friend said it was legitimate. Howard asked what kind of attorney he showed it to. Sean said he thinks he does farm stuff. Howard laughed.

Howard took a call from a guy who said that he's a big fan of Chris Stapleton. Howard said he's going to take a break and get him in there. Howard did a live commercial read and then went to break.
Howard came back and said that Chris Stapleton is there. He said he digs his whole look. Chris thanked him for that. Howard said he's been a fan since he saw him on Saturday Night Live. Howard said he hadn't seen him before. Howard said Chris didn't look at the camera once. He said he thought ''Fuck Simon Cowell'' when he saw that. Howard said he doesn't want his rock stars looking in the camera. Chris said he's just trying to play the music. He said that's his job first. He said that's his theory. He said it might not work for Simon Cowell. Howard said he roots for a guy like Chris. He said he grew up in a shithole. Chris said it wasn't that bad. He said it was a fairly depressed place but it wasn't that bad. Howard asked where that was. Chris said it was in Kentucky.
Howard said when he hears the song he's going to perform today he breaks down. Howard said it makes him want to cry. Howard said he might be at his best when he does those songs like that. Howard asked if he thinks that's from his dad. Chris said his dad died at 66 and he does miss him. He said he had complications from diabetes. He said both of his parents were coal miners. Howard said his dad never got to see his great solo success. Howard said he broke big when he had his album Traveller. Chris said his dad gave that to him. He said him passing away flipped a switch for him and that made him write an album that he thought he'd like.
Howard said when he wrote ''Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore'' that was about his dad praying at dinner and then one day he didn't say grace. Chris said that it did strike him as odd. He said he wasn't sure what it was. He said it was just one meal that he didn't do it at. He said that's where the title of the song came from. He said he wrote it and it was kind of a fictitious thing and then his dad passed and it became real to him. He said it was like art imitating life and then back again. Howard said that song makes him feel something.
Howard said he thinks Chris is doing rock in the way that Springsteen and those guys are doing. Chris said he appreciates that. He said he feels the same thing. He said he just thinks he's making music he'd want to hear. Howard played Chris' song ''Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore.'' Howard said that fucks him up and he's not even sure what he's singing about. Chris said at the end of the song you find out he's not praying because he's dead.
Howard said he heard he wrote that song in 10 minutes. Howard said his wife is a song writer too. Chris said she is. Howard said they must pinch themselves every day. Chris said it is very weird. He said that it's been the past couple of years that's been really weird. Howard asked how last night's Fallon was. Chris said they had some fun there. He said they did a bit and included him in it. He said that they did a ZZ Top song bit that he thought was pretty funny.
Howard said he likes the whole beard look. He asked if he puts any thought into that. Chris said he'd just say it's from being lazy. Howard said Letterman has that big beard now too. Howard said when Letterman was on his last couple of weeks he had Chris on. Howard said he must be a fan too. Chris said it was an honor to be on the show and be part of the history of that show. Howard said he thinks maybe he'd look better with a beard. Howard said it also kind of covers you up like a security blanket. Chris said if it was gone he'd miss it. Howard said he must have to wash it and shampoo it like his hair. Chris said he doesn't put a lot of thought into that. He just washes it like he washes his face. Howard said people in New York Probably think he's hassidim. Chris said he doesn't know.
Howard said Chris was the Valedictorian of his high school. Howard said his grade point average was higher than anyone's. Chris said there may have been a few that were the same. Howard asked if he went to a good college. Chris said he went to a couple for a short time but it just wasn't for him. Howard said his parents must have wanted him to go to college. Chris said his family was educated so he wasn't going to be the first one or anything. He said he's the one who doesn't have a college degree. Howard asked if they thought going into music was loser-ish. Chris said his family supported him in whatever he wanted to do. He said they just wanted him to be able to eat.
Howard asked Chris about writing songs when he started out and how prolific he was at it. Chris said that he didn't think of it as work. Howard asked how it does work. He asked if he was thinking of being a performer. Chris said he didn't know that writing songs was a job. He said he thought that everyone who sang a song was making it up. He said he had to find out how to do that job. He said he got a job in Nashville and moved there to write. Howard said he got a publishing deal and started writing songs for other people. Chris said he really worked hard at it and he wrote maybe 3 or 4 a day. Howard asked if he was good at it right away. Chris said probably not.
Robin asked if he studied music in high school. Chris said he didn't. He said he took guitar lessons but the guy didn't last long. Howard asked who the influence was. Chris said his dad was a music lover and his mom was a very good singer like Julie Andrews. Howard asked what he was listening to himself. Chris said he was listening to R&B and Willie Nelson kind of country. He said when you're a kid you can figure that stuff out. He said that his uncle played guitar and they'd show him things.
Howard said he can't play guitar. He said he can play a little bit but some people just pick it up and start playing. Chris said he wasn't obsessed with it but his mom said he would play for 12 hours a day if he could. Howard said Chris has some voice on him too. He said people in his town must have wanted to hear him sing. Chris said he could always sing but until he hated college that's when he got excited about it.
Howard said Chris is a terrific front man but he was satisfied writing songs for other people. Howard said he must get jealous when someone like Adele takes his song and has a big hit. He asked if he wants that recognition. Chris said that he likes just having the song out there. Howard said that's great. He said that he got a charge out of getting to do stuff that he thought up. Chris said that some people are built differently. Howard said Chris is a good guy. He said that's the difference.
Howard said Chris was told he could sing the phone book and he did that as an audition. Chris said that was with Capitol but he works with that guy now.
Howard said Chris started the Steel Drivers and he did a song that Adele heard and she recorded it. Chris said that's the way he heard it too. Howard asked if she asked to record it for her album. Chris said he thinks she did a YouTube video first. He said that they ended up putting it on her album. He didn't know who she was when he heard about it. Howard played Adele's version of ''If It Hadn't Been for Love.'' Howard said she's in a different key. Howard asked if Chris is happy with her version. Chris said he is. He said he loves her.
Howard asked if Chris likes to hear his other songs out there when they interpret them their own ways. Chris said that's part of the fun of it. Howard said people fight over his songs. He said it's mind blowing to him. Howard said that's amazing to him.
Howard said Chris' album Traveller came out and he did something on an awards show with Justin Timberlake. Howard asked if that's when it exploded for him. Chris said they were going pretty good before that. He said then that night in November he won some awards and they had that performance. Chris said he knew Justin a little bit and they had talked about doing something together. He asked Justin if he would do this thing and he was willing to do it. Howard said some people wondered what he was doing performing with Justin Timberlake because he's not a country artist. Chris said some people might have scoffed at it but Justin is one of the most talented guys and if you get a chance to perform with him then you do it.
Howard asked Chris if he feels like he's competing against Justin in that. Chris said it's not really a competition. He said it might make you bring you A-game though.
Howard said he heard he met Justin because his wife hired him to perform at his birthday party. Chris said that is a true story. Howard said he played at his party and then a week later he's winning awards. Howard said it's such a fluke thing. Robin asked what he got paid to play that party. Chris said that it was a small party and it was a curiosity thing. He said it was Jessica Biel who called him to set it up. He said he knew she was going to call because they had a mutual friend who gave her his number. Howard asked if he's insulted by that when they ask him to play a party like that. Chris said he's played other birthday parties that weren't that kind of party. He said it was more like just come out and play a bit and hang out. He said they paid for the trip and it was all first class and all of that. Howard asked if he was treated like a guest. Chris said he was. He said it was more of a hang than a gig.
Howard asked if he got nervous going to the party. Chris said he didn't. He said he doesn't get nervous that much. He said he did get nervous on Letterman and he's a little nervous now. Howard asked why he's nervous now. Chris said it might be because he's not used to talking about himself. Howard said he knows it's just that he's never met a Jew before. Chris laughed.
