my first guest tonight is the afternoon drive time disc jockey on wnbc right here
in New York City please welcome now America's most beloved radio personality Howard Stern
Howard
thank you very much for being here nice to
see you again this is the most uptight show I've ever been on
what do you mean by that well I don't who's the guy who produces the show I
had a great bit I was gonna come out here can I tell you about this please
do did you know about this I don't know anything well I was gonna come out here
I just show up late and they put a suit on me and I come out I uh I had gone out and
gotten a dead horse that I was gonna drag on and make it uh do a Swale bit
I think we're gonna do a whole psychic thing where Swale I drag out Swale and you sit behind a desk
and then I try to figure out what killed swell and I do this autopsy on it yeah and I start digging
in and then I open it up and I find out swell was killed by and then because there's two guys inside
the horse oh so he said it was too offensive they don't want horse jokes on yeah yeah so this will
probably be my last appearance on here because I'm not supposed to talk about horses but it
was meant as a loving finalist was he meant as a Joe a tribute to the horse let me can I ask you
a couple of questions about radio sure you know I admire you in the work you do and and the fine
station you worked for don't you think it's one of the great radio stations in America no no I
think this is uh I think the station I work for is an AM station it's a station that's dying and
that's why they hired me to be so offensive and do Swale jokes no Howard no it's true because it's an
AM station and nobody listens to Am anymore no that's not true it's almost impossible to get
people to listen to AM radio there's so much static you can't hear it I mean it's true you
listen to the music this static and my voice is static and uh nobody listens to music on am
anywhere let me ask you about that's what I was going to ask you about what's AM stereo what is
that that's a real joke that's a goof what it is it's uh it's twice as much stereo and nobody
has am stereos in this country so why would you want to buy a AM stereo well you wouldn't I mean
nobody wants it but you get on say AM stereo and there's a couple of people are brain dead
in our audience and they and they buy the fact that we're an AMC stereo and they think they're
listening to stereo and it's a mono signal and so the whole station is a scam and uh
you know I'm glad you brought that up I don't like it all right now I don't like it I don't
think AM stereo I think game stereo is a joke does anybody actually think AM stereo is stereo
well let me let me does anybody here own an AM stereo receiver happy with the performance
let me drag out Swale [Applause]
well see that's that's interesting we have about 300 people there one person out of
300 has purchased an AM stereo receiver yeah unbelievable uh all right now Howard last time
you were here you wanted to talk a little bit about this this is the July 1984 issue magazine
we magazine yeah yeah now they've been in here with naked girls oh my and it's uh well it's
a kind of thing where I was you know I did this with Wii magazine there's naked pictures of women
in there it's amazing what they do get away with and what they do oh here we go yeah here's jockeys
in the country yeah you were there's a spanking scene you could show some of these can't you yeah
I think we can choose yeah this main Series right here see I'll do anything for ratings
now you're there I know you wouldn't do something like this no this is you at work isn't it no this
is they brought two models in and I was just hugging up to them and I talk really I mean
there's a lot of obscene stuff in here and NBC is very uptight okay let me get to that in a second
but tell me about your wife's reaction to this you're married right yeah lovely woman how long
have you been married well my wife and I have been married six years and the fact of the matter is I
said to her look this is the way I make my living this is uh Economic Security if I can get him we
magazine and take pictures with naked girls so she bought the whole concept I mean you know
what are you gonna do so I'm in we magazine it's a five-page spread and uh it's very sexist it's very
dirty you know but but the but the the company is upset with things you said in the publication
now what did you say that well I was real dirty in the public you see I'm gonna get fired for
talking about this I know so you don't care do you no I don't care that I'm gonna be no no if you get
fired what will happen to you what will happen is some other radio station will hire me and uh pay
me a lot of money to say I've seen things they'll get uptight about it and they'll fire me in some
other radio stations it's like I'm constantly getting fired in fact they go around the country
doing this and making a lot of money yeah well it concerns me that I haven't been fired in the last
two years so NBC will fire me soon okay no I talk dirty about it I talked about my sex life in here
and I talked about you know my circumcision I talked about a lot of these things and uh NBC
says well you should have a clean image but uh you know I mean like guys like Eddie Murphy work for
NBC and they had a dirt you know he had a dirty act and that was very successful yeah that was
okay so what do they say when you bring that up to them well they say that's a rational argument
nobody in NBC is rational so you know there you go okay hey speaking of my uh excuse me what say
whatever you want we got to do a commercial first and okay hang on let me slow me down you know
will I will uh flight the horse and drag it out we'll be right back folks all right uh this was
in the last week's post uh Howard Stern's radios insult Jackie now that's not fair to start with
I don't know I'm not an insult jockey I don't I'm a dis no I'm not a disc I'm an air personality an
air person no or God's gift to radio yeah now I've noticed on Friday you count down the top
20 hits in reverse order yeah I just want to say something we're involved with a couple of things
for radio these countdown shows anybody listen to these content shows like Casey Kasem oh there's
a person who makes those long distance requests you're her boyfriend in the army the greatest scam
scam top records of the week and counts them up for you you know I mean basically and he makes
you wait for four hours till he gets to the number one record I think it's kind of a scam
so we're working on a countdown show that's going to be heard but except we're going to give you the
number one record right off the bat right off the top of the way yeah none of that stuff so we're
down yeah we're working on it now I heard you say one time that uh you were going to get to Casey's
show bounced off wnbc yeah I tried I was pushing for that for a long time and basically he's off
NBC now I don't like countdown shows I don't like anything that's pre-taped or canned uh I don't
like anything all right no I accept this show it's a great show thank you this is so this isn't that
I think he means it no the producer calls me up and says what are you going to talk to David
about don't do any Swale jokes don't touch David and I got and the guy says he asked me what am I
going to talk about I said I don't know what I'm gonna talk about have David asked questions well
David wants to ask you what's bothering you and then you just you know you just talk I said well
