Stump the Booey returns to the air, plus Wolfie observes JD for the day
Good Morning Everybody!
The sound of John Fogerty performing “Have You Seen the Rain?” opened the show this morning and Howard wondered about the meaning of the lyrics.
Robin Quivers said she goes with the literal interpretation. “Don’t make me hunt for the meaning,” she joked.
Fred Norris said that the lyrics had to do with the fact that the band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, looked like they’d be breaking up at the time and it was Fogerty basically saying they had a good thing going and it didn’t need to end.

To Emoji or Not to Emoji

Chad from St. Louis called in this morning and opened the floodgates of discussion asking Howard if he ever uses emojis.
“It sets me off,” Howard began. “I am so against these emojis.”
Howard said he is always excited about Apple’s annual WWDC to hear what updates are in the pipeline, but this year’s announcement about larger emojis left him baffled.
“They all look the same, come on,” he said.
One person who does use emojis though is Sal Governale. “There is something sweet about emojis … Emojis are great,” he explained.
Jon Hein noted that Sal constantly uses the turtle emoji, which Sal confirmed since he, of course, was a pregnant turtle in his prior life. “I know for a fact I was,” he said.
Something else Howard noticed when Sal came into the studio was that he had on a big new crucifix ring. “Oh my god, it’s Jesus on the cross on his ring,” Howard described for listeners.
Sal insisted that he is not that religious, but Howard countered by asking: “How come you won’t make a prank call using the lord’s name in vain?”
Sal conceded that he had a few “sleepless nights” after a popular call that featured him speaking in tongues, but rationalized that he was making the world a better place by making people laugh.
Goooooood Tuesday Morning!! @sternshow LIVE!! 7AM

Another on-staff emoji-user was revealed to be none other than Ronnie Mund. “On Twitter I use it sometimes,” he admitted. “I use the devil head a lot.”
Since Ronnie was busy during Monday’s show, Howard also wanted to get his take on Memet’s premature ejaculation issue.
Ronnie said that while he doesn’t have the problem now, the first time with a woman is always difficult. “It was pretty quick the first time I was with Steph, man,” he admitted.
Ronnie did divulge one of his secrets for prolonging sex though: “Thinking about my NASCAR shit.”
Meet Talla: ‘What’s He Saying, Robin?’
Sitting on the phone lines this morning, Howard found an interesting man named Talla from New York who said he had talked to Shuli before.
Talla was difficult to understand, telling Howard that he is autistic, but still has his realtor license and got an Uber setup in his car (though his father doesn’t trust him to drive so he drives and Talla sits in the passenger seat).
From there the stories got increasingly more wild as Talla told tales of allegedly indulging in consensual sex with his brother, getting duped into sex with a man after responding to an ad for a threesome with a husband and wife, and getting catfished elsewhere online.
Talla also claimed that Stern Show Executive Producer “Gary Belafonte” has thus far kept him off the show because he’s a racist and Talla is Senegalese.
Howard and Talla later shared a … special moment on the phone together before promising to speak again.

After 10 rounds, the winner of the world’s greatest music trivia game is…

It’s nearly impossible to beat Gary Dell’Abate at his own game, but on Tuesday morning Mara Reinstein did just that in a rousing 10-round game of Stump the Booey. While the musical trivia competition is only supposed to last for five songs, Howard had to add in several bonus rounds until the tie between Gary and Mara was broken. Check out the songs our contestants had to identify below.
As the new champion of Stump the Booey, Mara won $5,000 courtesy of Tommy John underwear, but she wasn’t done impressing those at the Stern Show yet. Just as her check was being handed over, Mara announced that she wanted to donate her winnings to the North Shore Animal League.
“I’m a big animal lover and I definitely know that it’s … a charity close to your heart and Beth’s heart,” Mara told Howard. “It’s the least I can do, to donate the money.”
Also in studio on Tuesday was Tom Patterson, CEO of Tommy John underwear, who decided to get in on the charitable giving as well.

“I’d love to second Mara and maybe donate five percent of sales today to the North Shore Animal League,” Tom said. “As long as Mara wears Tommy John underwear.”
Congrats to Mara for winning what is believed to be the longest on-air Stump the Booey in Stern Show history and thanks to Tommy John underwear for sponsoring today’s game!
