"Robin, as a woman, what is it?" "Do women get horny?" "Sometimes." "Why is he talking to his newsperson?" "I'll have him stop." "What about you specifically, though?" "When is the last time that you were with a man... sexually?" "About a year." "You're serious?" " A year?" " Yeah." "A year, ladies and gentlemen." "Someone more pathetic than me." "This is good."

"The author has slept with over 16,000 women, and, uh, take it from him." "He says wear tight pants." "If he slept with 16,000 women, he wouldn't have time to put on pants." "That is true, too." "I didn't consider that." "Why don't you give me a call at DC 101 if you want to talk about this." "We'll be back right after these words." "[Man Yelling]" "You're a genius." "That was great." "That was interesting." "Didn't that feel good?" "That was great." "You say whatever you want." "You have carte blanche." "You and Robin must not talk to each other on the air." "And don't sing along with the music." "And you know what else you could do?" "I'd like you to memorize the names of the local high schools." "And don't criticize Washington." "It's not good for ratings." "Now, if you'll excuse us, we'd like to talk to Robin alone for a second." "Wait." "I wanted..." "You know what I want you to do for me, is to make up a grid of all your comedy bits and the corresponding days of the week, so that I'll know on which day you'll be doing which bit." "I told you I work spontaneously." "I think that I..." "Robin..." "don't encourage him." "He's better when he's toned down." "We need you to be a friend here, Robin." "I'll see what I can do."

"I had 11 kills in Vietnam, and I'm telling you, I really should've had more." "Officially, I should've had more kills." "Let me tell you what I'm talking about." "I was in a gook village, and I come upon a schoolhouse." "So I grab one of my grenades off my belt, and I throw it right into the schoolhouse." "And I blow up the whole damn thing." "So I'm out there counting all the bodies." "You threw a grenade into a school?" "That's exactly what I'm telling you." "I must've killed, like, 200 kids." "My dickhead lieutenant comes up to me, and he says," ""Stern, those are little kids." "That counts as one person."" "Howard, I was in the military." "I was a captain in the Air Force." "What were you?" "What was I?" "Yeah, what were you?" " What were you again?" " I was a captain." "That's what I was." "I was a captain." "And what were you in?" "I was in Vietnam." "Ohh!" "Army?" "Navy?" "In the Army." "Did you have a division?" "103rd." "103rd what?" "I was in the 103rd..." "I don't know what I was in, Robin," "But I'm saying I was in the 103rd." "And the point of this whole thing is that I think a kill is a kill is a kill, and killing a kid should be just as good as killing an adult." "Well, I suppose even if you're killing children, they should count them." "I got some music for you now at DC 101." "[Robin Chuckles]" "Ha ha!" "You're not even old enough to have been in Vietnam." "Duh." "I couldn't sit there and not say something." "I knew they had told me not to talk." "I knew I was going to get in trouble if I did." "But he was really onto something, and I knew that there was something going on there... and I just went for it." "Well, this just came from the FCC." "Did you say "testicles" on the air?" "Wait a second." "Screw the FCC." "We just lost Muffler Man." "Hold on." "We have a real problem here." "I'm just trying to get ratings." "I am just trying to run a radio station." "I understand that, and I'm telling you that the commercial sponsors are there once you get the ratings." "There's a big problem." "They're gonna be lining up 10 in a row." "You listen to me, you stupid asshole." "Radio is a business, and you just cost us $40,000." "Wait a second." "If I do a lame show, it's never gonna take off." "I'm calm." "I am perfectly calm." "D.C. Carpet canceled because of him." "Well, I've reached my limit." "I don't know about you, but my back is against the wall." "Will everyone just sit down?" "I just want to say one thing." "I really think this show's starting to take off." "There's a buzz on the street about it." "If we just give it a chance, if we just take some time with it," "I think everything's gonna be OK." "Don't push your luck, Howard." "Robin Leach:" "The countdown to our "Live Life Like a Millionaire Sweepstakes"" "is getting closer." "We're going to have winners take..." "Hey!" "Hi, honey." "Robin Leach says we should move to Antigua." "Oh, yeah?" "Come on, hurry up." "Snap to it." "I'm ovulating." "I'm in the middle of important show research." "Howard, seriously, come on." "You know what?" "You're getting baby fever here." "And you know, maybe it's a little premature." "I'm about 3 days away from being fired, the way I figure it." "And do you want to know something?" "You got to think about the economics of this." "You're gonna be the best morning man in the history of radio." "At any minute, you're gonna be number one." " Is that so?" " Yeah!" "Strip!" "Let me tell you something." "Look at yourself." "You're completely on fire about having a baby." "You don't understand." "I'm not a piece of meat." "I mean, I have to be romanced." "Oh, yeah." "Please." "Ooh, look at that bra." "Where did you get that?" "You like this?" "OK." "That's it." "That's it!" "I am making a baby!" "It's baby time!" "I'm ready to give you a baby." "Thank you."

"Uh, having a seizure?" "No, that's not a seizure." "That's me dancing because I'm happy 'cause I got laid last night." " Oh!" " Yeah, I really did." "In fact, it was not for lust." "It was 'cause I was making a kid." " Oh." " In fact, my wife's eggs are very old." "They're very, you know, she's getting older." "But my sperm is like supersperm, so I'm pretty sure everything was delivered in one shot." "Oh, yeah." "Your sperm are fine." "My sperm are fantastic." "I'm fantastic." "I'm in a good mood." "Let's take some phone calls and see what's doing out there." " OK." " Hi, you're on the air." "Woman Caller:" "Hi, is this Howard Stern?" "This is Howard." "Oh, whoa." "Anyway, I was calling because I have a really big problem." "What's your problem?" "Well, every morning I lie in bed, and the only thing I can do is think of you." "Oh, really?" "Well, let's see if we can't help you with your problem." "What do you look like?" "Well, I've got blond hair, and I've got blue eyes, and my measurements are about 38-24-34." "Some people tell me I look a lot like Farrah Fawcett." "I can help you." "Robin, I can help this girl." "You know, we have the most beautiful audience." "We certainly do." "We're very fortunate that way." "You know what we're gonna do to solve your problem?" "I'm gonna have sex with you right now over the radio." "Caller:" "How are we gonna do that?" "Very simple." "I've thought this through, Robin." "First of all, what kind of radio are you listening to us on?" "You have a transistor radio, or you have one of those big sound systems?" "Caller:" "I have one of those big sound systems." "Good." "OK." "Could you turn the treble all the way down and put the bass all the way up?" "OK." "The treble's down, and the bass is up." "Howard:" "Take your speaker..." "You got a big speaker?" "Caller:" "Yes, I do." "Lay it flat on the floor." "And I want you to sort of straddle the speaker." " Howard!" " Caller:" "Do what?" "A woman cannot be aroused in that way." "Howard:" "No." "This is really wrong, Robin." "You're absolutely wrong." "In fact, my father was a radio engineer, and he proved this theory years ago." "You've got to believe." "Now, what I need you to do is put your private area over the woofer." "Caller:" "I can't believe you're really making me to do this." "Howard:" "Come on, do it." "Right up against it so you can feel me." "I'm on." "Robin:" "Oh, I have to ask her a question." "What kind of a woman are you to have sex this way on the radio?" "Don't answer that question." "Bad question." "You're gonna ruin this woman's mood." "She might start second-guessing." "Are you ready to have sex?" "Caller, Giggling:" "Oh, my God." "[Hums]" "Ooh!" "[Hums]" "Oohh!" "Ooh."

"Standing ovation." "Thank you." " Oh, boy." " Thank you." "Robin:" "Take your bows." "A woman on the air had an orgasm." "Have you lost your mind?" "But you got to admit, it was a funny bit." "The audience loved that stuff." "We just lost Stereo City." "This is not Muffler Man." "This is Stereo fucking City." "Dee Dee, you know there's gonna be other sponsors." "No, there's not, Howard, 'cause your career is over." "You're finished." "Come on!" "How can you say that?" "Dee Dee, I don't believe it." "He's up." "He's up?" "In the new ratings book, he's up... 2 points." "Howard:" "I love you." "2 full points, and Pizza Shack called." "They want to buy time on the Stern show." "I go to Pizza Shack all the time." "Great." "This is a great time to talk about putting some money into the show." "I know a guy, he does voices, he does comedy." "Absolutely not." "This could be a fluke." "I guarantee you we'll go up 2 full rating points if you hire this guy." "This guy must be hot." "This guy is total personality." "He's electric." "[Van Halen's You Really Got Me Plays]" "Hey, Rick."

"You're telling me this beautiful woman is a lesbian?" "Howard:" "Lesbians equal ratings." "Now let me say something." "I am the hero of the lesbian community, am I not, Robin?" "I guess you are." "I absolutely am." "All right." "Now, let's get into it." "Julie, I want you to tell us about your first lesbianic experience." "OK." "Tell me about the secret world of lesbian sex." "Well, Howard, I was 18." "Oh, you were so young." "Right." "And I was working at a summer camp." "Yes?" "And I was lying in my bunk, and the camp director's wife walked in." "Ooh, now, that's hot." "Uh, everyone was asleep, and I'm lying in my bunk, and she sees me looking at her." "Howard:" "And then what happens?" "She, like, signals for me to go with her." "What are you sleeping in?" "'Cause this is what I picture." "Little cotton panties, a tight little undershirt." "No." "I'm wearing, like, little baby-doll pajamas." "Oh, you tease." "So then she takes me into this tent."

"You want a date with Julie?" "Alison:" "Am I on the air?" "Yes, honey, of course you're on the air." "I told them I wanted to talk to you off the air." "But, honey, you're in the middle of interrupting a beautiful, sexy moment." "You've got to tell everyone." "My audience wants to know why you're interrupting." "Don't you want to know, Robin?" "I think we deserve to." "Yes, honey..." "Uh-oh, Al?" "I think she's gone." "Alison:" "No." "I'm pregnant." "What?" "Alison:" "I'm pregnant." "Robin:" "Congratulations, Howard." "It's my supersperm." "I knew my supersperm would do it, Robin." "You're so blessed." "Julie says we're blessed, honey, and Julie would know these things." "Alison:" "Well, I appreciate her support." "Can we talk privately now?" "Absolutely, sweetheart." "Wait a minute." "Does she know what she's gonna have?" "Is it gonna be a lesbian?" "Oh, please, Robin!" "You've gone too far." "No offense, Julie." "Please, I don't need this aggravation." "We're gonna take a break." "We'll get back to making out with the lesbians right after these words." " Hi." " Alison:" "Hey."

"I could have sex with you standing up." "Look at that." "Ooh." "Robin:" "Howard!" "You're married." "I am?" "I mean, I am." "Well, I'm not really married anymore." "What do you mean?" "Take a seat." "I'll Tell you what happened." "My wife was suffering from cancer..." "I never told you this... and she died last night." "I've been single for exactly 6 hours." "Honey, if you're up there now," "I know you can hear me, and you're at God's side, but I want you to cover your ears and eyes." "Besides, you're married to God now..." "Your husband's quite a character." "Only on the radio." "It's just an act." "Oh, oh, that's nice." "No one's ever touched me like this before." "Let me ask you something." "You have the look of love in your eyes, but I'm an ugly man." "I know this." "You couldn't be physically attracted to me, could you?" "Physically, I am." "I mean, you're smart, you're sexy." "Wait." "Excuse me for one minute." "Robin..." "I didn't say a thing." "Robin, go up to the cafeteria and get some lunch." "Yeah, go ahead." "Tell me more about me." "You're funny." "You know what I would do to you physically?" "What would you do?" "I don't know what I'd do, but let me just say something." "Whatever it is, it would last 3 seconds." "3 seconds, I'd be finished." "We would have sex, like, 10 times a day." "You would love it." "I kind of want to wrap my legs around you." "You do?" "The average radio listener listens for 18 minutes." "Mm-hmm." "The average Howard Stern fan listens for... are you ready for this?" "An hour and 20 minutes." "How can that be?" "Answer most commonly given:" ""I want to see what he'll say next."" "All right, OK, fine." "But what about the people who hate Stern?" "Good point." "The average Stern hater... listens for 21/2 hours a day." "Look, but if they hate him, why do they listen?" "Most common answer:" ""I want to see what he'll say next."" " Kenny." " Fucking twisted." "What?" "You'd better listen to this." "Howard:" "This is nice." "You wanna know something?" "This is the God's honest truth." "Come here." "I want to tell you closer." "I am fully aroused right now." "I am totally engorged." "Oh, my God." "Naked Woman:" "Well, after the show, why don't we go someplace else and see how it feels?" "Really?" "That's great." "You know why I love you?" "'Cause you're smart." " And you're practically a virgin, right?" " [Telephone Buzzing]" "Practically." "You have a sharp ass." "I'm gonna be so honest with you now." " I've never said this before." " [Music Plays]" "I'm telling you, I'm a full 21/2 inches, and I've never been 21/2..." "What's the music?" "We're off the air." "Are we off the air?" "Oh." "Would you do me a favor?" "Just stay right there, OK?" "What the hell's going on?" "What are you doing, man?" "Look, Rushton told me, this phone..." "Oh, come on, man." "Don't listen to Kenny." "I'm just doing what he told me, that's all." "Shit, man, you don't take me off the air in the middle of a fucking bit." "Come on." "Don't listen to Kenny." "You're supposed to listen to me." "He's the boss." "Forget it." "You believe this?" "What the hell are they doing?" "Yeah, hi." "Can I speak to Kenny?" "It's Howard over in the air studio." "Just hold the line." "As soon as they get him on, just keep him on the line." "Fred, get me back on the air." "Just patch the phone call onto the air, OK?" "Just put it right through as soon as you can." "Fuck, man." "# Oh, the canvas can do miracles #" "# Just you wait and see... #" "Patch it in." "I said patch it in!" "Yes, Robin, he's running in right now." "Can I have the phone, please, just for a second?" "Hi, Robin." "We back on the air?" "Robin:" "Yeah." "Everybody can hear." "OK, I'm right outside Pig Vomit's office." "I'm gonna knock on his door." "All right." "Hey, Pig Vomit." "Come on, Kenny." "Why don't you open up?" "I want to know why this guy had to cut my show off." "Come on, Pig Vomit." "Mr. Stern, he's in a meeting." "I'd like to know what meeting is more important than my show." "He took the show right off the air." "What'd you take the show off the air for, Pig Vomit?" "Huh?" "This isn't funny, Howard." "Oh, it's not funny?" "What are you talking about?" "I think it's very funny." "How would you know what's funny, anyway?" "You're not bringing that in here, Stern." "I don't see anybody in here in a meeting, do you?" "You gotta go." "Why would I have to go?" "Why don't you explain to my audience why you had to shut down the show?" "I don't answer to you, Stern." "Yes, you do, you big idiot scumbag." "I'm your boss." "I'm your boss." "Hey, what's this?" "Robin, it's everybody's salary on his desk." "God damn it, get out of here!" "He hit me, Robin." "He's hitting me." "Robin:" "Hit him back." "I'm gonna hit you back." "I hit him back." "He hit..." "You're not getting the phone from me, Kenny." "Gimme the damn phone." "No!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God, Robin." "Kenny just hit himself in the face." "He's bleeding." "Give that to me." "Hey, come on." "Oh!" "Robin:" "Oh, goodness, what's going on?" "Vince just got hit by Kenny." "God damn it, Stern!" "You look!" "See that?" "!" "Blood, Stern!" " Are you OK?" " No!" "Broke my nose!" "It wasn't my fault." "I'll sue your ass!" "Get out of here!" "[Voices Overlapping]" "Our first guest tonight is the afternoon drive-time disc jockey at WNBC radio here in New York City." "Ladies and gentlemen, do me a favor." "Please welcome Howard Stern." "Howard!" "[Cheers And Applause]" "Walk over there and have a seat." "Now, uh, Howard, you know, uh..." "I admire you, you know?" "I love what you do." "I think you're a pioneer." "You're on the cutting edge of radio entertainment." "You and I both work for NBC." "You have the radio show," "I have the little TV show here." "How do you get along with the folks here?" "You enjoying the experience?" "I hate it at NBC, Dave." "It's the worst." "It sucks." "I gotta tell you something." "All the management at NBC... bunch of creeps, and I'm not afraid to say it right now, and, you know, it's funny, because I know you feel the same exact way I do about NBC" "because you told me on the phone personally last week that you feel the same way." "I couldn't be happier." "Everything is fine." "I don't understand them at all." "Now, Howard, let's get back to the issue of them being creepy." "Now, when you say they're creep..." "He makes us sound like a bunch of idiots on the radio." "He criticizes us on television." "I thought you were going to control this guy." "Oh, well, we are, sir." "In fact, we're designing a more restrictive program" " Shut up." " To make sure..." "How are his numbers?" "The official ratings don't come out until tomorrow, but we've got some projections." "Stern... has gone... from a 2.9 to a 5.6." "[Choking]" "He's number one in the market." "He's the hottest d.j. In New York." "[Cough]" "Kind of weird, you know?" "I thought there was a mistake or something, but..." "mm-mmm... no." "My girlfriends think i'm crazy for letting you behave like that on the air." "What are you talking about?" "You know what it is?" "It's those yentas you hang around with." "They're... they're driving you crazy." "It's not yentas, Howard." "It's everybody." "I can't even go..." "I can't even get my hair done." "I can't even walk in and get my hair done without people looking at me like, "Oh, God, that poor little thing."" "Then you know what you gotta do?" "You gotta go to a different hair shop or something." " Please!" " For God's sakes," "If the place is driving you crazy, don't go there." "It's not that!" "It's not that!" "God, no wonder they think you're sleeping around!" "Look at me!" "Look at me!" " I'm disgusting!" " What about you?" " You're not disgusting." " Yes, I am!" "I look like a house!" " I look like an elephant!" " You don't look like a house." " You do not." "You look beautiful." " I look like Babar!" " You don't look like an elephant." " I do." "You don't look like Babar." "You look gorgeous." "This is the most beautiful you ever looked." "You're carrying our baby." "Come over here." "You want to sit down on this couch?" "You know what the problem is?" "You're tired." "I am tired." "Here." "Look at this..." "It's our baby." "It's beautiful." "You're beautiful." "Beautiful." "[Doorbell Buzzes]" "Who would come here?" "Quiet." "[Doorbell Buzzes]" "I don't want to get that." " [Buzz]" " Oh." "OK." "I'll go get the door." " Don't go away." " [Buzz]" "[Buzz]" "Howdy, partner." " How you doing?" " Oh, hey, Kenny." "Can I come in just for a second?" "It's kind of a bad time, OK?" "Just real quick, OK?" "Listen." "I want to tell you something." "You've won." "When the new ratings come out tomorrow, you are going to be number one." "You understand me?" "A point and a half higher than Imus." " No shit?" " You've killed him." "You've slayed him." "You understand me?" "Ha ha!" "That's great news." "Thanks, Kenny." "I gotta go." "Howard!" "Howard!" "Howard!" "Listen, I know I've been a real pain in the butt, OK?" "But that's all over with now." "Now, you're going to need a friend on the inside." "I'm going to do everything I can for you." "All right?" "How's that sound, partner?" "Fuck you." "[Cheering]" "[Cheering]" "People of New York..." "People of Earth... we are gathered here today in praise of me!" "[Cheering]" "Man, this is a great day in my life." "I've been dreaming of this day forever." "Thank you!" "Thanks." "You know, when I got to NBC, they treated me like I was a jerk." "They did everything to sabotage me, but because of you..." "[Cheering]" "Because of you, and only because of you," "I am now the number one disc jockey in New York, and I thank you." "I love you for that." "I love you!" "Thank you!"
