EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT IT'S NOT NEW YEAR'S EVE WITHOUT THE TWO

WHO ARE ACTUALLY HAVING FUN. >> Stephen: IN YEARS PAST, YOU

AND I KNOW YOU'RE ACTUAL FRIENDS.
WRUR NOT MAKING THIS STUFF UP. OF COURSE, IT'S BIG NEWS OUT

>> Stephen: LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, FELLAS.
WHY-- I'M JUST CURIOUS-- WHY-- WHY DOES CNN COVER NEW YEAR'S
EVE? >> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, I STARTED COVERING NEW YEAR'S EVE, LIKE, 17 YEARS AGO
FOR CNN. >> Stephen: ON THE OFF CHANCE
THAT TIME DIDN'T PASS THAT NIGHT?
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY NEWS IS IF 2 DIDN'T BECOME
JANUARY 1 AT MIDNIGHT. >> THEY HAD NO ONE ELSE TO DO
IT, SO I VOLUNTEERED TO DO IT. I VOLUNTEERED TO DO IT BECAUSE I
HATE-- I HAVE ALWAYS HATED NEW YEAR'S EVE.
>> Stephen: SURE. >> AND I DIDN'T WANT TO, LIKE--
NEW YEAR'S EVE IS NEVER WHAT YOU EXPECT IT TO BE.
YOU TRY TO GO TO A CLUB IN NEW YORK.
THE LINES ARE TOO LONG. YOU CAN'T GET A CAR.
>> YOU WIND UP GETTING CHLAMYDIA.
>> EXACTLY. WHO AMONGST US --
>> Stephen: IS THAT A FLOWER? A TYPE OF ORKIT KID.
>> I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR 17 YEARS.
>> Stephen: DO YOU ENJOY NEW YEAR'S EVE, ANDY?
>> I LOVE NEW YEAR'S EVE. I LOVE AN OVER-HYPED EVENT.
AND, YOU KNOW, COVERING NEW YEAR'S EVE IS-- I SAY THIS EVERY
YEAR-- IT IS LIKE A TELETHON WITH NO DISEASE.
WE'RE STANDING THERE JUST MARKING THE PASSAGE OF TIME.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> RIGHT. >> Stephen: IT'S ENTROPY.
>> SO IT'S AN ODD THING. >> WE'RE THERE FOR FOUR AND A
HALF HOURS. AND IT'S FREEZING COLD.
>> Stephen: THAT'S INSANE! >> AND THEY DON'T ALLOW SPACE
HEATERS OR ANYTHING. >> Stephen: WHY NOT?
>> IT'S A SECURITY ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW.
NEW YORK CITY DOES NOT -- >> Stephen: DO YOU WEAR
FLAMMABLE CLOTHING? >> ONE YEAR WE WORE ELECTRIC
CLOTHING TO TRY THAT OUT. IT DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK.
>> Stephen: ANDY, LAST YEAR, YOU WERE A BIT...
OVERSERVED AND AT A CERTAIN POINT YOU WENT ON--
>> THIS MAY BE WHY WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO DO THIS YEAR.
>> ALL RIGHT! >> Stephen: THIS IS THE MOMENT
YOU WERE GOING ON A RANT-- >> THAT WAS ONE OF MY RANTS,
YES. I HAD THINGS TO SAY!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: I BELIEVE THE RANT WAS ABOUT THE BAND JOURNEY WHO
WAS PERFORMING WITHOUT STEVE PERRY IN TIMES SQUARE.
>> I THINK RYAN SEACREST ACTUALLY HAD BOOKED THE BAND
JOURNEY AND THEY WERE PERFORMING BEHIND US.
>> AND THEY SPRAYED ME WITH THEIR STUFF.
>> Stephen: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> I'M COVERED WITH THEIR GLITTER THERE.
>> Stephen: OH, LIKE THE GLITTER BOMBS AND STUFF LIKE
THAT? >> YES.
SO IT JUST RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY AND I WENT OFF.
>> Stephen: THERE WAS FALLOUT FOR THIS, WASN'T THERE?
>> HE WAS RANTING IT WASN'T THE REAL JOURNEY.
>> I WAS CALLING IT "FAKE JOURNEY."
>> Stephen: THAT WOULD BE PHONY.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT. NEIL SCHOEN WONT AFTER ME FOR A
YEAR. >> Stephen: THE GUITARIST.
>> YES, AND I FELT TERRIBLE AFTERWARD, BUT I'M A BIG STEVE
PERRY FAN. >> I'M A JOURNEY FAN AND I THINK
THEY'RE FANTASTIC. >> Stephen: YOU'RE AN AN
BIASED JOURNALIST IS WHAT YOU ARE.
YOU DON'T PICK SIDES. >> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO POINT OUT, LOOK HOW HAPPY YOU ARE TO
WATCH HIM GET IN TROUBLE. >> YEAH, I KNOW.
THAT IS A FACE OF SOMEBODY WATCHING MY OLD FRIEND JUST,
LIKE, DIG HIS GRAVE. AND I'M JUST LIKE, I'M SO GLAD
THIS IS NOT ME. AND I'M JUST KNOW--
>> Stephen: EVERYONE THIS IS LIKE-- AGAIN, THIS DOES LOOK
LIKE THE MAN WHO IS ENJOYING HIMSELF TO A DEGREE THAT WAS NOT
ANTICIPATED BY THE CREE. >> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: I'M JUST CURIOUS, EVERYBODY HAS A FIRST GETTING
TOO DRUNK STORY. DO YOU, ANDY, I'M GOING TO
GUESS, DOWCH ONE? >> I DO.
I REMEMBER I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS UNDERAGE.
I SHOULDN'T VSH DRINK EXPUG DRANK TOO MUCH.
AND I REMEMBER I WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND I HAD
TO-- I WAS SICK. AND I KNEW THEY WASN'T GOING TO
MAKE IT TO THE BATHROOM. AND SO I PULLED OFF MY BOXERS,
AND I BARFED IN MY BOXERS, AND I WASN'T OF RIGHT MIND.
SO I JUST OPENED THE WINDOW AND THREW THE BOXERS OUT, OUT
WINDOW. OF COURSE, WHAT I WASN'T REALLY
THINKING BECAUSE MY ROOM IS OVER THE FRONT YARD.
AND SO THE NEXT MORNING MY DAD TURNS UP AT MY DOOR AND SAYS
THERE'S A PAIR OF YOUR BOXERS ON THE FRONT LAWN THAT ARE MESSY?
THAT WAS MY FIRST.
>> Stephen: WE ALWAYS REMEMBER.
>> WE ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR FIRST. AND NOW LOOK AT ME!
I'M A PROFESSIONAL, DAD! >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK BUT WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE ANDERSON COOPER
AND ANDY COHEN, EVERYBODY. STICK AROUND.
