What was real and what is bs for entertainment?

Watching the film now for the 5th time probably since it's release, I'm wondering what really happened and what us just for the movie ? I started wondering since I'm an AC/DC fan and they never played for Howard back in the mid 80s or so like in the movie.

A few things make me wonder?

1. Did he actually ever have a woman orgasm or pretend she had one on air? If it's real, I'd love to hear the recording from that segment.

2. Did he actually do that mamma booboo air traffic report thing? If he did, what the *beep* was he thinking?

3. Did the whole Morgan Fairchild thing actually happen, or is it just a load of crap of what Howard wishes happened?

I don't know the answer to #1 specifically (I haven't seen the movie for years), but if you're just asking in general if a woman's had one on the air - of course, any segment involving the Sybian.

As for #2 - yes, Mama Look A Boo Boo Day was one of his earliest characters, and can be heard on YouTube.

#3 - Like many things in this movie (and on the radio), Howard takes a small grain of truth and stretches it to his own devices.

1. Yes, in the late 80s on K-Rock, this happened.
2. Yes, he did that as well, also in the late 80s-90s on K-Rock
3. Who knows?

1. Yes, but it is exaggerated in the film
2. Yes
3. It's actually based on an incident in which Howard and Jackie were in a bathtub with Jessica Haha which happened in the 80s. But it was Jackie who got into trouble with his wife not Howard. If Howard did get in trouble, he didn't mention it.

Here's an almost complete rundown of Fact VS Faction and everything mixed in between from a guy who used more than a handful of Stern books and television appearances.

Thanks. That answered everything and more!

Yeah it was interesting but I don't buy that Private Parts ended the studio. They had a lot of films that lost a lot of money. Private Parts is one of the only films to make money that year.

You mean Brittany Fairchild, not Morgan
