 The Latest Rundown Monday,  February 9, 2009MCNAMEE SPILLS A LITTLE The Howard Stern Show for February 9, 2009ARTIE MAKES AMENDS

Artie started off the show confessing that he called Gary over the weekend to apologize again for the argument they had on air last week: “I’m in a bad way lately.” Artie said something happened in his personal life that has him waking up with sweat-drenched sheets: “You know that great Onion joke, ‘Depression Hits Losers the Worst?’ Shit happens and then you get depressed about it.” Artie added that he also called Will and Jon Hein to apologize for striking out at them as well.GARY’S FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF THE CHRIS BROWN-RIHANNA STORY

Howard referenced the allegations that pop singer Chris Brown beat his girlfriend, fellow pop singer Rihanna, before the Grammy awards yesterday. In response, Gary came in to say there might be a pattern: he and Jon Hein once watched Rihanna fight with Chris (via cell phone) in front of an LA hotel: “All the latin guys working the valet said, ‘She’s been fighting with the guy for an hour and a half.’”

RICHARD CHRISTY’S DIAPER REDUX

Howard played a clip of a diaper clad Richard Christy introducing Coheed & Cambria at Madison Square Garden. Artie and Howard agreed that Richard’s introduction was solid, but Howard couldn’t figure out why he’s never heard of the band. Richard then came in to say he wore the diaper because the band’s fans get upset when he’s caught without it on: “I didn’t use it, but I wore it.”

BRIAN McNAMEE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

MLB steroid-use whistle-blower Brian McNamee stopped by, and Howard asked him why he was talking to the show and no one else. Brian explained that after testifying in front of Congress, there was only one place left to go. Howard asked how Brian got involved with Roger Clemens, so Brian said he was a team trainer – but was eventually let go by the Yankees, so Roger gave him a personal job: “I was also training Andy Pettitte at the time.”

Howard asked if he could improve his workout results with steroids, but Brian claimed he never knew much about steroids: “It wasn’t really part of my daily regimen. I was just doing what the players asked.” Howard wondered if Brian really had needles with Clemens’ DNA on them, and Brian avoided the question: “You’d have to talk to the DA about that…it’s not 100%.” Artie thought that meant there was Clemens DNA on the needles, but not steroids inside – again, Brian didn’t answer.

BRIAN CONTINUES TO CLAM UP

Howard asked Brian if the steroid scandal had ruined his life, but Brian denied it: “I’m on The Howard Stern Show. How could it have ruined my life?” Artie didn’t think that meant much: “I’ve been on the show for eight years.” Howard and Artie also wanted to know about the time Brian injected Clemens’ wife with steroids, and after a thorough tooth-pulling, Brian finally admitted he injected ‘roids in her belly button in the couples’ master bathroom (Roger was present).

SO THAT’S WHY YOU’RE HERE

Howard mentioned that Brian had brought a really hot chick with him this morning and invited her into the studio. Brian introduced everyone to Mai Tran and Artie immediately seized on her name: “you’re not a tranny are you?”

Fortunately Mai is (and always has been) all woman. Mai explained that Brian has been training her for several years and the pair had recently started a Website with some friends where they talk about sports and people can play checkers against Mai.

NORM MACDONALD DOESN’T WANT YOUR WIFE

Norm MacDonald stopped by promote some upcoming comedy gigs and said a limo driver in Florida recently offered him his wife: “All week long, guys were like this is my wife and this is the other wife.” Artie explained that married comedy fans frequently want to party and hook you up with their single friend: “There’s always a hot-tub and ecstasy and pills and they’re like, ‘Come back and we’ll all f’.’”

Norm said he hated partying with couples: “My thing is – for sexual encounters – I like to lie on top of a lady.” Norm said he thought even less of Artie’s recent Rolling Stone profile: “It’s the weirdest f’ing thing I’ve ever read in my life…I’ve never read an article about an entertainer where the entertainer is described as a liar…I thought I was [supposed to be] reading about a f’ing comic.”

NORM TURNED DOWN PAUL NEWMAN

Howard asked Norm about the time he won a half million dollars on Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire and donated it to the Paul Newman Foundation, so Norm said he was invited to Paul’s ranch afterward and turned it down: “It comes down to just you and Paul Newman in a room…and I got no [good] stories, like ‘One time, Will Ferrell…’” Norm said the worst part was that he knew the answer to the million dollar question.

RICHARD AND “BEN-SHE” HIT COMIC-CON

Richard came in to say he and Benjy (or “Ben-She” – he was dressed as a woman) went to Comic-Con over the weekend and pissed off a lot of people there by asking them about the bulges in their pants. Richard laughed that Benjy got kicked out after yelling questions in the video game screening rooms: “Seeing a guy dressed as a woman get dragged out of Comic-Con was one of the funniest things ever.”

IT’S TIME FOR ROBIN’S NEWS

Jason Kaplan

The crew joked about this Nixon tape.
Howard struggled to pronounce Snoqualmie.
Brian McNamee said A-Rod should just fess up to steroid use: “Everyone’s forgiving. No one likes people who lie.”
Howard noted that Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus sounded great together.
