EARLY IN THE MORNING WITH STEPHEN The Howard Stern Show for October 27, 2009

Howard asked Sal if he was the “rat” who told Ronnie that JD had reported to Howard on Medicated Pete's night at Rick's Cabaret. Sal denied it: "I might be a ball-breaker but I'm no rat." Artie laughed: "Spoken like a true Italian." Howard then played a clip from yesterday's Wrap-Up Show in which JD promised to give Ronnie his car show back if he revealed who the leak was – Ronnie refused.

Later on in the Wrap-Up Show clip, Ronnie railed against JD: "He's very angry at people. He has major issues with everybody." Howard laughed: "That sounds more like Ronnie." Ronnie then came in to add to his comments: "I will destroy this f’ before he's done...I'm gonna get something on him. I'm gonna watch him wherever he goes."

Ronnie insisted he wasn't threatening JD: "I'm not making a threat. I'm just telling him I will destroy him, that's all." Robin laughed: "Ronnie, do you understand what a threat is?" Howard hoped Ronnie wasn't going through menopause, and Ronnie sarcastically replied that he was: "Yes. Man-opause."

While he was in-studio, Ronnie asked Howard if it was OK to have his birthday party at Rick's Cabaret. Howard started to answer him, but Gary piped in that it might be better to let JD decide the fate of Ronnie’s party. So Howard left it up to JD, who said he had no problem with Ronnie's party – just his “most boringest ever” car show: "Ronnie can definitely have a party." Ronnie even said that JD was welcome to attend the party, he just wouldn’t be speaking to him if showed up.

Howard played a clip of Beetlejuice discussing a Jewish friend: "He's still my friend but I still call him a dirty Jew." In the same clip, Beetle was asked if his friend Shuli was a “dirty Jew,” but Beetle coolly replied: "He's Catholic not a Jew." Asked if he was Catholic or Jewish, Beetle reported: "I'm a regular person."

When she came in with the Howard100 News headlines, Howard asked Lisa G if she could be sexually submissive: "If I tie you up will you trust me?" Lisa hemmed and hawed a little and then claimed she might: "Yes." Artie joked: "You know what I'm gonna do? Tie her up around 6 and go to the Yankee game." Howard wondered if Lisa would let him tie her up and then shave her completely, but Lisa shook her head: "I don't think so...if I'm really into you and I'm dating you? I think so."

Stephen Stills stopped by to promote his new album, “Live at Shephard's Bush,” and Howard asked him about his songwriting process. Stephen shrugged: "They kinda just show up. These days I sit down and start typing." Stephen went on to remark that his CSN partners were fame hungry: "I work with the two biggest camera hogs in the world." Howard wondered if Stephen thought of himself as the leader of the band, and Stephen nodded: "I was." Robin asked when he lost control, and Steven explained: "When Crosby got sober."

Stephen complained about a variety of topics, including illegal piracy and music downloading: "Stealing has become a national pastime." Neil Young: "Being difficult is part of his personality. [Howard] would understand him perfectly." His biggest hit, “Love the One You're With”: "If I'm remembered for anything, I'd like a lot of other songs to be it." And later – after performances of “Midnight Rider,” “Treetop Flyer” and “Love the One You're With” – opined about singing before noon: "And that is why you don't play music at 8 in the morning."

Howard questioned Stephen about being asked to be in the Jimi Hendrix Experience, so Stephen explained he'd endeared himself to Jimi by "being easy" and called Jimi "the best." Stephen added that his management withheld the message: "I was in Hawaii...Jimi and I had been thinking about this over in London for a while. But they didn't pass on the message." Stephen added that the reason they didn’t this was that the manager didn’t want to break up CSN. Howard wondered if Stephen would've taken the job and Stephen snapped: "Hell yeah!"

Stephen later denied ever being in love with Joni Mitchell ("No. Well, I mean I love her but I was never in love with her.") or ever being heavily into drugs: "Opinions vary. I managed myself pretty well." Stephen confessed that he did have a drinking problem at one point and also told the crew that – despite their fears – it was still possible to have an orgasm after having his prostate removed: "Well, it's a different kind of coming, but yeah."

Mike Gange came in to say Robin's Petcadamy Awards submission was taking up too much of his time: "Every time I ask Robin what she wants, she says, 'You figure it out!'" Robin said the project was almost over: "He's sending me the raw footage tonight...and we will probably have to fix it." Gange continued to complain: "I asked her to send me her concept in an email. Never got it." Robin replied: "I didn't need a concept. I told you what to shoot."

Robin said she should've worked with someone else: "He's never available, he's always ill and he's complaining all the time." Howard asked Gange if he was saying Robin was a bad director, but Gange just laughed: "I've never seen her direct." Robin replied: "I had the concept!"

Gange also whined about having to film Robin's hairless cats: "These cats are the ugliest cats I've seen in my entire life...I swear – my camera? The lens was going to crack." Gange added that the cats were great otherwise: "They behaved. They're afraid of her just like everybody else."
