RONNIE CALLED HOPALONG A STAR FUCKER!!!
Oh boy did that hit a nerve with Hollywood Howie. His first response was something like, "Oh yea? Like who?" At this point Ronnie knew he fucked up so he mumbled. I can list them. Off the top of my head: Kimmel, Joel, Aniston, Theroux, CK, Jovi, Seinfeld. Not to mention all the celeb fundraisers he goes to where his picture winds up in the Daily Mail. Howard is a star fucker. He needs to admit it. It's most likely to impress Beth. He asked, "when did I ever hang out with you guys?" Well, I have a good example. A classic Stern Show story is Fred going gay with gay Rich. That happened at Fred's bachelor party. I'll bet 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars there is no way in hell he goes to JD's bachelor party. Richard just had a baby shower...no Howie.
Ronnie was right. Howard doesn't hang with the boys anymore. The simple fact that the comment pissed him off so much tells me that he knows there is a lot of truth to it.
