You look like you've been in the sun. What are you on a vacation?

Donald Trump

00:01:07 - 00:01:10 (3 sec)

Well, I was actually playing tennis yesterday in Long Beach.

Howard Stern

00:01:10 - 00:01:14 (4 sec)

With who? It has got to be somebody famous. You can't just play tennis with anybody.

Donald Trump

00:01:14 - 00:01:17 (3 sec)

Somebody very attractive and reasonably famous.

Howard Stern

00:01:17 - 00:01:17 (0 sec)

Who is that?

Donald Trump

00:01:17 - 00:01:18 (1 sec)

I can't tell you.

Howard Stern

00:01:18 - 00:01:19 (1 sec)

Your wife?

Donald Trump

00:01:19 - 00:01:19 (0 sec)

Yes.

Howard Stern

00:01:19 - 00:01:19 (0 sec)

It was, right?

Donald Trump

00:01:19 - 00:01:19 (0 sec)

That's right.

Howard Stern

00:01:19 - 00:01:20 (1 sec)

Yeah, right.

Donald Trump

00:01:20 - 00:01:23 (3 sec)

Look at your wife, she looks so great.

Howard Stern

00:01:23 - 00:01:26 (3 sec)

Go ahead, have sex with her. I don't care. You're Donald Trump, you can have her.

Robin Quivers

00:01:26 - 00:01:29 (2 sec)

You've been offering it to everyone. What was it?

Donald Trump

00:01:29 - 00:01:31 (3 sec)

And I heard that on the way up, you were offering it to many people.

Howard Stern

00:01:31 - 00:01:33 (2 sec)

No, you almost have everything in life.

Donald Trump

00:01:33 - 00:01:35 (3 sec)

You can't be serious. I mean, you know we don't play games.

Howard Stern

00:01:35 - 00:01:41 (5 sec)

You made love to beautiful women, of course, and your wife is very beautiful, but one thing you never have is my wife and I don't have a problem with that.

Donald Trump

00:01:41 - 00:01:42 (1 sec)

You don't do better than this.

Howard Stern

00:01:42 - 00:01:44 (2 sec)

That's right. You do not. Look at that, always a charmer.

Donald Trump

00:01:44 - 00:01:46 (2 sec)

I don't know how she takes it, but that's okay.

Howard Stern

00:01:46 - 00:01:49 (4 sec)

That's all right. As a matter of fact, I made love to my wife last night, Donald. How do you know?

Donald Trump

00:01:49 - 00:01:50 (0 sec)

Yup.

Howard Stern

00:01:50 - 00:01:54 (4 sec)

My wife came in with a brand new outfit that she bought for me, and I tell everyone how good -- Tell Donald Trump how good it was.

Robin Quivers

00:01:54 - 00:01:54 (0 sec)

We got his birthday present.

Howard Stern

00:01:54 - 00:02:08 (14 sec)

Yeah. A birthday present for her. My wife bought me a bunch of pajamas, none of them fit, and then I had to return everything, that was the end of the birthday celebration. I came home and went to sleep. So, anyway, what happened with the $20 million? Did you really win the $20 million? Or --

Donald Trump

00:02:08 - 00:02:12 (4 sec)

Well, you know, a reporter came up and said, Did you win $20 million?

Howard Stern

00:02:12 - 00:02:13 (1 sec)

Right.

Donald Trump

00:02:13 - 00:02:15 (2 sec)

And I said, I absolutely have no comment.

Howard Stern

00:02:15 - 00:02:15 (0 sec)

Really?

Donald Trump

00:02:15 - 00:02:19 (4 sec)

And they said, three or four times, Did you win? I said, I absolutely have no comment.

Howard Stern

00:02:19 - 00:02:19 (1 sec)

Right.

Donald Trump

00:02:19 - 00:02:22 (3 sec)

The next day I was quoted in every paper.

Howard Stern

00:02:22 - 00:02:23 (1 sec)

Right. As saying?

Donald Trump

00:02:23 - 00:02:24 (1 sec)

As saying that I did.

Howard Stern

00:02:24 - 00:02:24 (0 sec)

Right,

Donald Trump

00:02:24 - 00:02:27 (3 sec)

But in actuality, I'm in a very, very small bet.

Howard Stern

00:02:27 - 00:02:27 (0 sec)

Right.

Donald Trump

00:02:27 - 00:02:31 (4 sec)

It was much less than that amount. And now Mike Tyson's angry.

Howard Stern

00:02:31 - 00:02:32 (1 sec)

Right. Why?

Robin Quivers

00:02:32 - 00:02:32 (1 sec)

Really?

Howard Stern

00:02:32 - 00:02:33 (1 sec)

Why is he angry?

Robin Quivers

00:02:33 - 00:02:35 (2 sec)

Because he bet against him.

Howard Stern

00:02:35 - 00:02:37 (3 sec)

Oh yeah, that's right. But you did bet against him.

Donald Trump

00:02:37 - 00:02:42 (5 sec)

Evander Holyfield is a little bit upset because I said I only made the bet because of the 20-1 odd.

Howard Stern

00:02:42 - 00:02:43 (1 sec)

Right, you like the odd.

Donald Trump

00:02:43 - 00:02:46 (2 sec)

So, they're calling, and they're all angry. I lost a lot of friends.

Howard Stern

00:02:46 - 00:02:48 (2 sec)

But you have to bet because you're on casinos and stuff.

Donald Trump

00:02:48 - 00:02:48 (0 sec)

Life is a bet.

Howard Stern

00:02:48 - 00:02:50 (2 sec)

That's right. That's the way it is.

Donald Trump

00:02:50 - 00:02:51 (1 sec)

Life is one big fat bet.

Howard Stern

00:02:51 - 00:02:58 (7 sec)

Let me ask you a question though when you bet and you win, do you still have to give some of that to Ivana, or you're done with that completely? Are you out of that hole now?

Donald Trump

00:02:58 - 00:03:02 (5 sec)

Well, she has developed a little cottage industry with, you know, Donald, Donald, Donald, works.

Howard Stern

00:03:02 - 00:03:03 (1 sec)

That's right.

Donald Trump

00:03:03 - 00:03:06 (3 sec)

You know, you hand a girl -- a woman -- a lot of money

Howard Stern

00:03:06 - 00:03:08 (2 sec)

Oh, she's a girl, because she doesn't think like a woman.

Donald Trump

00:03:08 - 00:03:09 (2 sec)

Yeah, you've always said that. You never liked her.

Howard Stern

00:03:09 - 00:03:23 (14 sec)

I never liked her. I never liked her. And I stuck with you through the whole divorce. When a lot of people coming down on you, a lot of women's lived times for saying you should stick with your wife. Isn't that? I thought Ivana was a big pain in the ass, you got rid of her and you're doing just fine. I'll be honest, I ran from accents.

Donald Trump

00:03:23 - 00:03:29 (6 sec)

I will tell you he's been very consistent. It's a huge audience.

Robin Quivers

00:03:29 - 00:03:34 (5 sec)

It's been good, Donald. There's only been two people who stuck with him through the whole thing, and that was Marla and you.

Howard Stern

00:03:34 - 00:03:36 (2 sec)

That's right.[Inaudible]

Donald Trump

00:03:36 - 00:03:39 (3 sec)

Howard came to my wedding.

Howard Stern

00:03:39 - 00:03:40 (1 sec)

Yeah.

Donald Trump

00:03:40 - 00:03:46 (6 sec)

And I ran back and turned on the television, cause we had lots of coverage. It was how they covered my wedding.

Howard Stern

00:03:46 - 00:03:46 (0 sec)

That's right.

Donald Trump

00:03:46 - 00:03:51 (6 sec)

Now Marla hasn't been there before, I've been there before. So, you know, I went to see how it was covered. And they had him -- He said there was a wet eye in the house.

Howard Stern

00:03:51 - 00:03:52 (0 sec)

Right, right.

Donald Trump

00:03:52 - 00:03:53 (1 sec)

It was 1-12.

Howard Stern

00:03:53 - 00:03:53 (0 sec)

Yeah.

Donald Trump

00:03:53 - 00:04:08 (15 sec)

Which was a total disaster. And the other thing he said, this is the night of the wedding, you know you're sitting, it's romantic, it's beautiful. He said, I give the wedding four months. Which was on every television station in the country. [Inaudible] I made him look bad.

Howard Stern

00:04:08 - 00:04:20 (12 sec)

That's the only reason you're still married, to prove him wrong. You would've been divorced a long time ago. It's just to prove him wrong. But of course, I'm not the only famous guest, O.J. was there. And of course, you provided the picture for the back of my book.

Donald Trump

00:04:20 - 00:04:22 (3 sec)

I should get a piece of that book. It's a very successful book.

Howard Stern

00:04:22 - 00:04:24 (2 sec)

Yes, it was. But I am not giving you anything.

Donald Trump

00:04:24 - 00:04:27 (2 sec)

And of course, you think O.J. is very innocent, I know that.

Howard Stern

00:04:27 - 00:04:27 (0 sec)

Yeah.

Robin Quivers

00:04:27 - 00:04:28 (2 sec)

Why else is he on the back of the book?

Howard Stern

00:04:28 - 00:04:44 (16 sec)

Well, by the way, let me make a statement here, and this is a testament of, O.J. didn't kill anyone that night. That night of the wedding, you kept the -- O.J. in -- you kept him in line. That's right, you're really good, I was afraid. You were really good friends with all O.J. I mean, I mean, I was shocked by it.

Robin Quivers

00:04:44 - 00:04:45 (1 sec)

I mean, how good of a friend would you say he was?

Donald Trump

00:04:45 - 00:04:48 (3 sec)

Well, I used to play a lot of golf with O.J.

Howard Stern

00:04:48 - 00:04:49 (1 sec)

Howard/Robin Yeah.

Donald Trump

00:04:49 - 00:04:56 (7 sec)

And I was always a little bit surprised when I'd see that O.J. he was very arthritic and he wasn't able to possess a tee, I just played golf with him. I mean, you know.

Robin Quivers

00:04:56 - 00:04:58 (2 sec)

You never saw him he have a problem, huh?

Donald Trump

00:04:58 - 00:04:59 (2 sec)

Seem to be anything [Inaudible]

Howard Stern

00:04:59 - 00:05:01 (2 sec)

I think he take a lot of Advil, that was the thing.

Robin Quivers

00:05:01 - 00:05:03 (2 sec)

How come they didn't call Donald?

Donald Trump

00:05:03 - 00:05:05 (2 sec)

I will be next.

Howard Stern

00:05:05 - 00:05:17 (12 sec)

At the back I was standing next to O.J. when you were cutting the cake and O.J. says, Well, what kind of knife that is? is using. He was really curious, you know what I mean? It's pretty wild.

Donald Trump

00:05:17 - 00:05:19 (1 sec)

But Dominique called me up. Where's Dominique?

Howard Stern

00:05:19 - 00:05:21 (2 sec)

Dominique barber the bloat [Inaudible] over there.

Donald Trump

00:05:21 - 00:05:26 (5 sec)

He called me. He said, You've got to be, you've got to be here. And I missed last year, and I thought very well, I felt guilty about it, so I'm gonna be here.

Robin Quivers

00:05:26 - 00:05:27 (1 sec)

Is that right? Well, I'm glad to hear this.

Howard Stern

00:05:27 - 00:05:29 (1 sec)

You should be here. It's tradition to be here on the birthdays.

Robin Quivers

00:05:29 - 00:05:30 (1 sec)

And you wouldn't feel too bad.

Howard Stern

00:05:30 - 00:05:31 (1 sec)

That's right.

Robin Quivers

00:05:31 - 00:05:35 (4 sec)

About the fact that Ivana is suing the people who made her yacht or whatever.

Howard Stern

00:05:35 - 00:05:36 (2 sec)

Oh, I love that.

Donald Trump

00:05:36 - 00:05:44 (8 sec)

What people don't know, Ivana calls me constantly. I need a yacht, I want a boat, I want this. This is not a yacht, first of all, it's a cabin cruiser.

Howard Stern

00:05:44 - 00:05:45 (1 sec)

Right. This is not a real yacht.

Donald Trump

00:05:45 - 00:05:50 (5 sec)

I asked her not to buy it, don't buy it, but once you buy it you have it.

Howard Stern

00:05:50 - 00:05:50 (0 sec)

Right.

Donald Trump

00:05:50 - 00:05:56 (6 sec)

Now you don't knock the hell out of it, so it's now it's got zero value. She's not gonna win the lawsuit, it's got zero value.

Robin Quivers

00:05:56 - 00:05:58 (2 sec)

You're saying she's not a good businessman?

Donald Trump

00:05:58 - 00:06:00 (2 sec)

So she lost $6 million of my money and I'm not happy about it.

Howard Stern

00:06:00 - 00:06:02 (2 sec)

She bought a yacht with your own money and lost the money.

Donald Trump

00:06:02 - 00:06:03 (1 sec)

She certainly did.

Howard Stern

00:06:03 - 00:06:04 (1 sec)

Yes she did.

Donald Trump

00:06:04 - 00:06:04 (1 sec)

Real problem

Howard Stern

00:06:04 - 00:06:07 (3 sec)

You know I'm sitting on a plane I see this first wive's club and they got Ivana, and I'm --

Donald Trump

00:06:07 - 00:06:08 (1 sec)

This is another thing.

Howard Stern

00:06:08 - 00:06:12 (4 sec)

She should go home and take care of the kids, take care of Donald's kids.

Donald Trump

00:06:12 - 00:06:14 (2 sec)

It does get out of control, but that's okay.

Howard Stern

00:06:14 - 00:06:18 (4 sec)

Right, but how do you feel about your daughter's modeling career? You okay with that?

Donald Trump

00:06:18 - 00:06:21 (3 sec)

She's doing great, and she's really -- you know, she likes it, Ivanka.

Howard Stern

00:06:21 - 00:06:21 (1 sec)

Right.

Donald Trump

00:06:21 - 00:06:23 (2 sec)

And she's doing tremendously well.

Howard Stern

00:06:23 - 00:06:32 (9 sec)

And you're doing well, you were here, you remarried, your marriage is successful. Yes, it's true, the whole thing with Ivana was very public and all that, but as Donald taught me one very important lesson --

Robin Quivers

00:06:32 - 00:06:33 (1 sec)

What did he teach you?

Howard Stern

00:06:33 - 00:06:47 (14 sec)

He took me a side of his wedding and he said to me, You know now I'm getting remarried, he said to me, Howard, vagina is expensive. That is what he said to me, and I'll never forget those words, and the guy was right.

Robin Quivers

00:06:47 - 00:06:48 (1 sec)

Those were exact words.

Howard Stern

00:06:48 - 00:06:58 (10 sec)

Those were the exact words, ladies and gentlemen. And don't I know it, doesn't my wife keep reminding me of that. The great Donald Trump, everybody. Thanks for coming by in the birthday. . And do we take a break here?

Robin Quivers

00:06:58 - 00:06:59 (1 sec)

Yeah, we better.

Howard Stern

00:06:59 - 00:07:02 (3 sec)

All right, we'll take a break.
