HOWARD'S SNORING KEEPS BETH UP
Howard started off this morning saying he kept Beth up again last night with his snoring - and then played a recording Beth had made: "I’ve become a monster...I never snored before. What changed? This would be a good Ashley Madison commercial, encouraging women to cheat: Do you want this for the rest of your life?" Howard said Beth eventually got sick of taping and got up and left, sleeping in another room from about midnight on. Later on, Ralph called to counsel Howard: “This is absolutely a Dr. Sarno issue.”
ROBIN ALMOST QUIT THE SHOW...
Howard played some clips from last night's "Detox with Robin Quivers" in which Robin said she was so unhealthy before finding the detox diet that saved her, her balance began failing: "I basically had gotten to the point where my energy was so low I would just do the show and sleep - for a number of years." In the clip, Robin said she almost quit the show to get healthy, but she discovered Dr. Roni's program in the nick of time.
...AND NOW MIGHT VISIT AFRICA
Robin told the crew she was considering taking a trip to Africa, and said that someone had suggested that go speak at Oprah's charter school in South Africa. Howard even wrote the first line of Robin's speech: "First of all girls, you should know that Oprah hates me and the show I work on." Howard speculated that Robin's diet would go over well with the millions of starving Africans: "You can just tell them they're not starving - they're fasting."
IS TIM SABEAN IN A DAZE?
Howard repeated the widespread theory that Tim Sabean's diet has left him in some kind of malnourished daze, causing Robin to defend the fast, saying Tim had just toned down: "He's just down one key." Howard also played a clip from last night's
Scott Ferrall Show in which Ferrall said Tim passed him in the halls without a hello/greeting - so Tim came in to say he was just busy last night with his appearance on the "Detox with Robin" show.
TRUMP & BABA BURY THE HATCHET
Lisa G reported that Donald Trump appeared on Barbara Walters' Sirius show last night and the pair discussed how they had settled their feud at Howard's wedding. Howard laughingly took full responsibility for the reconciliation, saying he actually forced the pair to make up: "I made them. They walked in like lions and left like lambs."
LOOK AT THAT ASS, HOWARD
Rapper Flo Rida and his buddy, 4Mill, stopped by perform his latest #1 single, "Round and Round," and told Howard he made music for "the hot sexy ladies with the bottoms."
Flo Rida said "Round and Round" wasn't - like Howard thought - about oral sex, but rather stripper poles. Flo Rida then ushered two strippers, Ebony and Yasmin, into the studio to dance during his performance.
Flo said he chose the girls for their particular talents: "Turn around. Look at that ass, Howard." Howard was blown away: "You could hurt me with that thing."
