October 14, 1997
Notes:
  • "Before Green Day came in to play a couple of songs Howard Stern wanted to play with their instruments. He wanted to perform 'Gloria' along with Scott "The Engineer" Salem on drums. Howard sang lead and Robin [Quivers], Jackie [Martling] and Fred [Norris] were backup singers. Of course it didn't sound that great and right after they were done playing the members of Green Day popped their heads in to see if their instruments were okay. Howard didn't know that Green Day were there otherwise he wouldn't have messed with their stuff. Howard talked to them for about 10 seconds then took some phone calls. Green Day wasn't scheduled to perform until 8:30. Howard settled on naming the group ''The Losers'' after throwing out a few names."
