Porn Valley- XBiz reports a story about how Howard Stern show regular Crazy Cabbie is becoming a porn director, that his “first movie,” “Please Pay My Tuition” is being released by Pleasure Productions.
Apparently Cabbie’s formed a production company, East Coast XXXtreme and also plans to launch www.cabbiexxx.com.
Cabbie supposedly met Pleasure Productions owner Frank Koretsky through mutual friends and struck a deal.
But to say this is Cabbie’s first foray into adult isn’t entirely true. In fact, it’s downright inaccurate. Ron Jeremy detailed his experience doing a porn shoot with Cabbie in his autobiography, Ron Jeremy: The Hardest Working Man in Showbiz.
The Hedgehog talks about the infamous after hours sex movie that was shot at Howard Stern’s studio in New York.
In the story, Jeremy explains that it all got started with a phone call he received from Brett, Crazy Cabbie’s partner. Jeremy was told that Cabbie wanted to star in a porno movie and that Stern had approved the idea, was aware of where it was going to be shot and would promote it on his radio show. A far cry from what was the eventual truth.
Jeremy, however, says he was thrilled to be included in the project- not only to direct but act in the film. So he rounded up a cast to include himself, Taylor Wane, Tabitha Stevens, Christi Lake “and some new actress out of New Jersey.”
According to Jeremy he was given a budget that barely covered expenses.
“None of us would be paid a normal salary until the movie was sold to a distributor,” he explains. “But given Howard’s reputation it seemed like a foregone conclusion.”
Jeremy goes on to describe the cast arriving at Stern’s studio in New York on a cold winter night. A nervous staffer [who is never identified] seemed very jumpy and Jeremy thought that was pretty odd.
“We went straight into the recording studio and set up cameras,” Jeremy continues. The orders were to shoot and be out of the studio long before Stern would begin his program in the morning. Another consideration in the shoot was the fact of Stern’s a germaphobia, so certain things couldn’t be touched.
“But I did grab the O.J. Simpson mask off the wall while Taylor [Wane] gave me head,” relates Jeremy. As Jeremy yelled out that he was ready to cum, Wane got out of the way and Jeremy made like she was going to shoot a load on Stern’s chair.
“Just kidding,” he said. For the next scene, Jeremy put on a Gene Simmons mask to have sex with Tabitha Stevens on a couch in the green room.
“He [Simmons] gave me written permission to use his mask in the movie,” Jeremy relates, noting how he was only in the studio for those two scenes.
The rest of the movie was completed in a Manhattan studio made up to look like the hallway outside of Stern’s studio. There they shot an orgy scene where Jeremy and Cabbie teamed up with Wane and Christi Lake. Because Cabbie had trouble functioning with so many people watching, the scene was reshot at a hotel room downtown.
“After he [Cabbie] climaxed, he pointed at his erection, pounded a fist in the air and screamed, ‘Hey, Howard, this is for the fans! Look at this! All right!!'”
According to Jeremy some additional scenes were shot including the rock band Alien Ant Farm. Either someone from the band or the band’s manager apparently wore a mask and had sex with a groupie. After the shoot was completed, Jeremy took the footage back to LA and gave it to his editor.
The finished movie clocked in over two hours with seven or eight sex scenes.
Later, during another Stern broadcast, Jeremy heard Stern chew out Elephant Boy for having sex in the green room. Jeremy thought that didn’t sound right especially with them shooting a porno there.
That’s when Jeremy called Brett but was again told everything was alright, that Stern knew what happened and didn’t have a problem with it. Jeremy then sent Brett the edited film and the masters. A month later Brett called him back in a panic telling him they had to re-edit the movie.
It was explained to Jeremy that Cabbie had gotten a full time gig as a deejay and while he didn’t mind being in a porno, he couldn’t be shown participating in sex scenes at the studio. Jeremy wanted to know what the big deal was.
“He just doesn’t want it to appear like he’s sneaking into a radio station and letting porno actors have sex on the company’s property,” he was told.
The use of the word sneaking disturbed Jeremy because now it was becoming clear that there had been a scam perpetrated.
The movie was then re-cut to two films: Scenes from a Shock Jock Studio and The Crazy Cabbie Movie.
Months later Jeremy got word that the Stern people weren’t happy. They found out about the movie. When asked if Stern’s microphone ever came into play, sexually, particularly with his penis, Jeremy told them it had not.
“Cabbie was rattled enough to pull the plug completely,” writes Jeremy. “He stopped returning my calls, and Brett informed me that the movie was being shelved indefinitely.”
Jeremy says he wanted to strangle somebody for all the work, travel and time he put into the project for no pay.
“Brett still owed money to my editor for the extra edits,” Jeremy adds.
“And he should have at least thrown a few grand to my actors for their trouble.”
Although Brett had possession of the masters and the model releases, Jeremy had a few VHS dubs.
“And I was prepared to use them,” Jeremy says.
“I couldn’t legally distribute it to video stores, but I could release it for free on the Internet.”
When Brett came up with the money to pay his editor, Jeremy let the matter drop. But he still has dubs of the footage.
Jeremy also makes a point in the story to say that while he never ratted Cabbie out, Brett, the partner, did try to sell the movie to Jill Kelly Productions, but the deal never materialized. Probably for more than obvious reasons.
