SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
Artie said he woke up at 4:30 this morning and frantically attempted to check for the score of last night's World Series game – first on ESPN and then his computer: "I tried to go to MLB.com and I ended up at Playstation...where's Google?" Howard said he had a similar night: "I woke up at about 2 o'clock. I had agita...I went window shopping at 3am." Robin said she loved how empty NYC's avenues are at night, and Howard agreed: "I was beating off in the street and nobody did anything."
WHO INITIATES IN THE STERN'S BED?
A caller asked if Beth ever initiated sex with Howard, so Howard explained: "She initiates sometimes. I think I do it more." Robin wondered how Beth liked to get things going, and Howard replied: "She'll roll over and rest her head on my chest." Howard added: "Last night she was like, 'I'm going to bed.' She was so irritable because we'd gotten up early...she used to initiate a lot more. But I initiate more now. She used to sit down next to me on the couch and start manipulating me."
THE BEETLEJUICE GAME
Howard gave a caller the chance to play The Beetlejuice Game and potentially win a cash prize, explaining that he'd play clips of Beetle answering “complete-this-phrase” questions – to win, the caller must guess whether or not Beet will know the missing word(s). Two out of three takes the prize:
“Twinkle twinkle little...” The caller incorrectly guessed that Beet would get it right: "Oh twinkle little f’ing birdie?"
“Jack and ___ went up the hill.” The caller bet against Beet for his first point: "Oh Jack up in the f’ing hills?"
“I pledge allegiance to the ___.” The caller took the prize when Beet nailed it: "To a flag?"
WILL'S BALLS MAY BE AN OPEN BOOK
Howard learned that the only procedure available to Will was a procedure in which his balls had to be cut open, so Will came in to explain they would search his balls for swimmers: "The way the doctor explained it to me, your testicle is like a book and they go through it page by page." Will said he was actually considering the procedure – and wasn't opposed to adopting a black child: "If they're a good athlete."
Howard offered his services: "You want me to beat off in cup? I'll do it." Will said he might actually have the costly ball-dissection procedure instead: "We haven't gotten that far yet but I would say [it'll cost me] around $20,000." Howard thought it might be cheaper to adopt a Chinese baby: "Those are the cutest."
STERN SHOW SPERM BANK
Will said he'd rather get a sperm donation from a family member than adopt: "I have a brother. I have uncles." Howard was horrified: "Don't do that. Go to a sperm bank and ask for the smartest good-looking guy...there's basic sibling rivalry...you don't want to be thinking that every time your brother comes over...you come to me before you decide anything. I mean privately."
Howard again offered a semen sample, and Will considered it: "Lemme think about that. I'll get back to you." Howard cited JD as the staffer whose semen sample he'd personally be least-likely to use: "But you know what? I would take JD over Benjy. Because Benjy is disturbing. I'm worried about him." Howard also reconsidered taking JD before a couple others: "I would take JD before
Sal or Richard? Am I crazy?"
