The Arbitron ratings system is absolutely retarded. Put aside all Stern Show biases and you can still plainly see that there's no way on earth you can compare an all-english speaking show to an all-spanish speaking show. If all you speak is spanish, there are 2, maybe 3 stations to chose from in each big market and only one of them playing anything contemporary.

In the english speaking radio world, there's 30 stations out there you can take your pick from. You'd think, with the logistics being so obvious, they'd change the system, but I doubt it ever will. But who really cares if Howard's 1st or 8th anymore. Been there, done that. I don't know for sure, but with all the spanish speaking people here in LA, Howard's probably in 12th.

A caller called in with a funny contest. How many times does Robin laugh during an average show? That's an interesting thought. The guy picked 110 for the whole show. Just talking about it during a 15 minute segment Robin laughed about 12 time. Stay tuned for this one.

The Don himself, Donald Trump came in to talk about his new TV show called "The Apprentice" were he picks his next executive assistant who will eventually run one of his little companies. He came in the show recruiting hot chicks. He pulled one of Howard's interns out of obscurity and said she could be a star. If nothing else, she could be the Don's next girlfriend, if he ever dumps this girlfriend he's had for years now. If you want to see what his girlfriend looks like visit the Atlantic City casinos and look at the chips, billboards, and room keys. She's hot. They started talking about money and Howard said he's worth $2 billion. The Don very easily mentions he's worth much more than $2 billion. That's an insane thought. I think i have $2.00 in my wallet right now.

He started talking about him defending Michael Jackson. He said back in the day Mike said he thought his son Eric was beautiful and said he wanted to take him to Neverland. He said that he thought it was a great gesture and considered it, but then came to his senses real quick.

Howard asked The Don who are the top 3 hottest chicks in show business. He chose Keira Knightly, Paris Hilton, and his daughter Ivanka Trump. I think Keira and Paris are smokin' hot, but i'm not a fan of the pretty version of Donald. Good times though.

As far as the show goes, i've seen the previews for it and it actually looks pretty interesting. Howard watched the series in advance and said it looked great. Kind of a Survivor in the urban jungles with hot chicks that stay hot.

A lot of conversations again. The guests and excitement will start showing up soon.

After that, Robin started the news. If you want the news, pick up a paper, i'm not typing that shit out. E-mail us all comments on this column and ideas about others. Later Days. SL
