What planet has a ring around it? Bigfoot: “Jupiter?” Howard was thinking Saturn, but Bigfoot was technically right.
To celebrate their win, the porn stars all stripped off their tops. Bigfoot said he'd loved to see Memphis completely nude, so Memphis took off her bottoms as well. Bigfoot was excited in the creepiest way: “I would eat that all night long...I can get 'em to come...it's a certain method it is. You gotta find the funny bone it is.” Robin asked Mark if he could find the “funny bone” as well, and Mark nodded: “Hell yeah!”
A caller noted that he saw High Pitch Mike on CNN last night, and Howard said he saw it too: Mike was at the Hillary Clinton's post-primary loss speech. Mike came in to say it wasn't first NY Hillary rally he's been to, and he's surprised that he made it on-camera, as he was in the next-to-last row. Howard then played a 10-year-old clip of Mike predicting that a black person would never be president, but Mike responded that he still doesn't think it's gonna happen: “Last night, McCain sealed up the election.”
Steve the Intern came in with a promo for tonight's Intern Show, and Howard asked if it was true that Steve doesn't like being referred to as Steve the Intern, now that he’s no longer an intern. Steve said he was fine with the name from the in-studio crew, but when he's introduced to people touring the studio and offices – particularly if they're hot chicks – he doesn't like being belittled. Gary said he only used the name because that's how Steve's best known to the touring parties, but Steve replied that he'd rather be introduced as “Steve, host of the Intern Show.”
Howard got
Bubba the Love Sponge, a close friend of the Hogan family, on the line to explain the strange language the Hogans used on the tapes of Nick Hogan's prison calls. Bubba explained that the language developed among carnies as a way to discuss carnival games in front of customers without letting them in on the scam. Bubba said the wrestling community eventually picked up on it as a way to call out “moves” in the ring without letting the audience know the match was fake/planned out.
Howard and Robin asked why the Hogans would need to use it during a call to/from prison, but Bubba kind of avoided the question. Howard pressed on and played one of the tapes in which Nick and Hulk are talking in the “language.” Brent (Bubba's producer, who was on the line and also speaks the language) interpreted: “The best I can tell, there's something in one of their houses that they don't want the authorities to find.” Bubba agreed: “Nick's not doing the right thing. Nick needs to man up and shut up his mouth and get off the phone. They're recording.”
