The Complexity of Being Misunderstood
Howard Stern
So occasionally I make a fool of myself in public, and the FCC wants me off the air, and every fundamentalist group in this country hates my guts, and, yeah, most of the things I do are misunderstood. Hey, after all, being misunderstood is the fate of all true geniuses, is it not? But my life isn't bad at all. I'm still on the air, I've got my kids, and I've got Alison. Alison... She's the best friend I could ever have. And who knows? With a little time, the right energy...I think I could talk her into some hot lesbo action.

Celebrating Happiness Through Dance
Howard
Robin, watch this. What am I doing?
Robin
Uh, having a seizure?
Howard
No, that's not a seizure. That's me dancing because I'm happy cause I got laid last night.
Robin
Oh!
Howard
Yeah, I really did. In fact, it was not for lust. It was cause I was making a kid.
Robin
Oh.
Howard
In fact, my wife's eggs are very old. They're very, you know, she's getting older. But my sperm is like supersperm, so I'm pretty sure everything was delivered in one shot.
Robin
Oh, yeah. Your sperm are fine.
Howard
My sperm are fantastic. I'm fantastic. I'm in a good mood.

A Caller's Unusual Morning Thoughts
Caller
I was calling because I have a really big problem.
Howard
What's your problem?
Caller
Well, every morning I lie in bed, and the only thing I can do is think of you.
Howard
Oh, really? Well, let's see if we can't help you with your problem. What do you look like?
Caller
Well, I've got blond hair, and I've got blue eyes, and my measurements are about 38-24-34. Some people tell me I look a lot like Farrah Fawcett.
Howard
I can help you. Robin, I can help this girl.
Robin
You know, we have the most beautiful audience.
Howard
We certainly do. We're very fortunate that way. You know what we're gonna do to solve your problem? I'm gonna have sex with you right now over the radio.
Robin
How are we gonna do that?
Howard
Very simple. I've thought this through, Robin. First of all, what kind of radio are you listening to us on? You have a transistor radio, or you have one of those big sound systems?
Caller
I have one of those big sound systems.
Howard
Good. OK. Could you turn the treble all the way down and put the bass all the way up?
Caller
OK. The treble's down, and the bass is up.
Howard
Take your speaker...You got a big speaker?
Caller
Yes, I do.
Howard
Lay it flat on the floor. And I want you to sort of straddle the speaker.
Robin
Howard!
Caller
Do what?
Robin
A woman cannot be aroused in that way.
Howard
No. This is really wrong, Robin. You're absolutely wrong. In fact, my father was a radio engineer, and he proved this theory years ago. You've got to believe. Now, what I need you to do is put your private area over the woofer.
Caller
I can't believe you're really making me to do this.
Howard
Come on, do it. Right up against it so you can feel me.
Caller
I'm on.
Robin
Oh, I have to ask her a question. What kind of a woman are you to have sex this way on the radio?
Howard
Don't answer that question. Bad question. You're gonna ruin this woman's mood. She might start second-guessing. Are you ready to have sex?
Caller
Oh, my God.
[Giggling]
Howard
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Caller
Ooh!
Howard
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Caller
Oohh! Ooh. It kinda tingles.
Howard
See? It tingles. She likes it.
Robin
Yeah, sure.
Howard
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Caller
Ohh! Oh...
Robin
She's full of it.
Caller
Aahh! Ohh! Oh, God! Oh!
Howard
Listen to her. She's going wild.
Robin
You got me moaning.
Howard
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Caller
Ohhhhhhhh! Oh, my goodness. Ohhh!
Howard
This is the best sex I ever had.
[laughs]

Navigating Originality in Comedy and Character
Howard
I gotta tell you something, Kenny. I always saw myself sort of something different than lmus. That's why you hired me.
Kenny
You are original. You are original, but... You say a lot of offensive things, and occasionally you are real funny, but you've got to learn to do what Imus does. See, he doesn't actually say the bad thing himself. He says it through a character.
Howard
Yeah, well, I don't do character...
Kenny
How about you go on the air 3 A.M. This morning, show us some characters. OK? Good.

Inappropriate Comments on Height and Attraction
Howard
Let me soak you in. Holy cow, are you naked. You know what I like about you?
Mandy
What?
Howard
I like that you're the perfect height. I could have sex with you standing up. Look at that. Ooh.
Robin
Howard! You're married.
Howard
I am? I mean, I am. Well, I'm not really married anymore.
Mandy
What do you mean?
Howard
Take a seat. I'll tell you what happened. My wife was suffering from cancer...I never told you this...and she died last night. I've been single for exactly 24 hours. Honey, if you're up there now, I know you can hear me, and you're at God's side, but I want you to cover your ears and eyes. Besides, you're married to God now...

Game Show Fun with Unexpected Answers
Howard
Hi, everybody. My name is Gene Sternburn, and welcome to Match Game. We have a lot of excitement in the air today because we have some great panelists.
Howard
Let's play our game now, OK? Shall we? And what we're gonna do is ask you to fill in the blank, OK? Now, I want you to listen carefully. Our first clue up is...blank willow. Blank willow. Let's go over to Miss Brett Somers right now. Now, Brett, what did you have for us? Blank willow.
[Music Plays]
Howard
Uh-oh. Pussy. Hey, all right. Hey, that's kind of wild. Pussy willow, that's what I would have said. All right, let's go over to Dick Nixon, former president of the United States. What did you have? Blank willow.
Fred
In any language, pussy.
Howard
All right! Now let's go to our newest member of the panel, Mr. Jackie "Jokeman" Martling. Blank willow.
Jackie
Well, Gene, I didn't write it too neat, so I have a sloppy pussy.
Howard
Sloppy pussy! We had a sloppy and a fuzzy pussy and a very big one.
Fred
Are we talking about Brett again?
Howard
All right, now, Let's keep going. Now it's gonna get a little rougher, OK? Everybody ready? Blank a-doodle-doo. Blank a-doodle-doo. Blank a-doodle-doo. Think about that while the celebrities are writing. Here we are. Let's go over to our Dick Nixon, our own ex-president. What do you got there, Dick?
[Music Plays]
Fred
Well, it takes a Dick to know a cock, and that's what I wrote.
Howard
Cock-a-doodle-doo. Now, that's what I would have said. That seemed like the obvious answer. OK, let's go to our own Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling. Jackie The Jokeman?
Jackie
Gene, I have cock, and I wrote it big. I have a big cock.
Howard
Uh, I don't think you can say "big cock" on the radio. I think that's a no-no.
Robin
But I just said pussy.
Jackie
Yeah, she just said pussy.
Howard
Yes, pussy is OK. It's the way he says it. "Big cock" coming out of your mouth sounds awfully dirty.
Jackie
So I can't say "big cock," but you can say "big cock coming out of my mouth"?
Howard
That's correct.
Jackie
That sucks.
Fred
Did you just say, "big cock coming out of your mouth sucks"?
Howard
All right, enough of this nonsense. We gotta move to Miss Brett Somers.
Robin
Just like the boys, Gene, I've got cock.
Howard
There it is, cock-a-doo...do me a favor and hold that up so I can see your cock.
Jackie
Aw, Gene, don't have...
Howard
All right, there it is. Cock, cock, cock. I must tell you, though, we have to end this fun right now.

Exploring Sexual Frustration and Communication
Howard
Good morning. This is Howard Stern. Welcome to the show. I have a confession to make. I did not get, uh, laid last night. In fact, I haven't gotten laid in a really long time. Now, give me a call here at DC 101 if you have the same kind of problem. Having trouble with your woman? Give me a call. I'll help you out. Let me introduce, over here to my right, my beautiful new newswoman Robin Quivers, who looks so beautiful, I'm sure she doesn't have any of these sexual problems. But I must tell you, my life is, um, very odd. I get hornier and hornier. My wife, she comes home from work, she goes to sleep. The whole week goes by, she never gets horny. Robin, as a woman, what is it? Do women get horny?
Robin
Sometimes.

Balancing Public Persona and Private Life
Alison
How could you do that? Do you think that was funny? You think it's funny to make jokes about our personal life like that? You're an asshole!
Howard
What are you talking about? Alison, I love you. What are you talking about?
Alison
Howard, not everything is for your audience. I need a life that is ours, that belongs to us.
Howard
I'm on the air 6 hours a day. I'm trying to come up with material. I hate going out.
Alison
Too bad!
Howard
I said when we came here, if I was gonna win on the radio, I'd have to talk about everything. I couldn't hold back.
Alison
Howard...
Howard
Come on, last night we were laughing about this. I just assumed you thought it was funny.
Alison
It was funny for us last night. Privately, for us.
Howard
Alison, if I don't talk about you and me on the air...
Alison
Shut up. Shut up.
Howard
The audience isn't gonna be there.
Alison
Shut up! Shut up!
Howard
I won't make any money.
Alison
Shut up! You disgust me! I can't even look at you, idiot!

[taking off her clothes]
Howard
I'm in the middle of important show research.
Alison
Howard, seriously, come on.
Howard
You know what? You're getting baby fever here. And you know, maybe it's a little premature. I'm about two days away from being fired, the way I figure it. And do you want to know something? You got to think about the economics of this.
Alison
You're gonna be the best morning man in the history of radio. At any minute, you're gonna be number one.
Howard
Is that so?
Alison
Yeah! Strip!
Howard
Let me tell you something. Look at yourself. You're completely on fire about having a baby. You don't understand. I'm not a piece of meat. I mean, I have to be romanced.
Alison
Oh, yeah. Please.
Howard
Ooh, look at that bra. Where did you get that?
Alison
You like this?
Howard
OK. That's it. That's it! I am making a baby! It's baby time! I'm ready to give you a baby.
Alison
Thank you.
Howard
Hold on.
[pulls pants down and hops towards her]
Alison
OK. Now I'm hot. Now I actually want to have sex. I didn't before and now I do.

A Humorous Take on Personal Disconnect
Howard Stern
Howdy, cowpokes. Uh, I know I shouldn't be interrupting in the middle of a song, but I got to tell you something. I know a lot of you out there really love this music, but I just don't get it. Explain it to me. And maybe it's cause I went to college, and I never drove a truck and had sex with my daddy's sister, but...I guess what I'm trying to say is, I...I don't think I'm the man for this job. So this is your old pal Hopalong Howie saying I quit. I... I think I quit.

A Conversation Between Howard and Betty Jean
Howard
Hi. Is this Betty Jean Rushton?
Betty Jean
Yes, it is.
Howard
Betty Jean, hi. It's Howard Stern, W N BC. I work with your husband Kenny.
Betty Jean
Yes. Kenny's mentioned you.
Howard
Oh, I bet Kenny has. The reason I'm calling is because your husband has been very bitchy around here lately, and I'm thinking that maybe if you gave him some more sex...
Betty Jean
More sex?
Howard
Yeah. He's backed up. Isn't he backed up, Ross?

Unexpected Solutions in a Radio Broadcast
Howard
I was not saying the call letters right. It's a big problem, so in order to rectify this, I brought in a cup of Blackswell's semen.
Robin
Semen?
Fred
I squoze it myself. I hope it's not too tangy.
Robin
And what are you gonna do with it?
Howard
I'm gonna gargle with this and say the call letters over and over again until I get it right.
Robin
You think that'll work?
Howard
I don't care, cause I love the taste of a man. Ooga.
Fred
There she blows.
Howard
Oh. Can you believe it?
Robin
You just swallowed.
Howard
I swallowed. Oh, my God.
Fred
Waste not, want not, Robin.
Howard
Oh! I wanna say I love W N BC. See? It worked. I can say it.

Blame and Responsibility in Personal Failure
Howard
I feel like such a loser.
Alison
It's not your fault. It was a lame station.
Howard
Yeah, it was my fault.
Alison
You can't blame a radio station.
Howard
It's my screwup.
Alison
In what way?
Howard
In a way that I gotta figure out what I'm gonna be. I mean, I don't want to be one of these disc jockeys that runs around the country, you know, looking for work all the time. I don't want to end up like that. It's so sad. It's so apparent to me now what I should be doing. I should be talking about my personal life. I've got to get intimate. And every time I feel like I shouldn't say something, maybe I should just say it, just blurt it out, you know? I just got to let things fly. I got to go all the way.
Alison
You didn't go all the way before?
Howard
No. I mean...No. A lot of times, I'm just holding back.
Alison
Then I guess you should go all the way.

Love and Respect in Relationships
Howard Stern
You know, I could get this girl. I know I could get her. And this is the hell that's my life. I mean, think about it. What would it be like to have sex with her? It would be amazing. But I'm not going to act on it. You know why? Because I'd be a schmuck. No, because I love Alison. She stuck with me through the whole thing, you know? You gotta respect that. I think you have to respect that. You have to respect that.

Frustration Over Being Excluded from the Movie
Stuttering John
Wait! Wait! Is that it? What, the movie's over? Oh, yeah? That's bullshit! Hi. You know who I am? Yeah, I'm Stuttering John. And you know why I'm pissed? I'll tell you why. I've been getting up at 4:00 every morning to work for Howard. I've been pissing off every publicist, burning every freakin bridge in the industry, And y-y-you'd figure Howard would pay me back by putting me in his movie! No, he doesn't! I'm not in the movie! I've been in here for 8 years, cuttin his friggin potato! I've been smacked around by Morton Downey, punched in the nose by Raquel Welch, and what do I get? I get fucking nothing! That's what I get! I'm not even in this fucking movie! He's says I'll be in the sequel! Yeah? What sequel? Suppose the movie sucks? Th-th-th-there won't even be any sequel!

Navigating Love and Trust in Relationships
Alison
Howard...I'm willing to believe you didn't sleep with that girl. OK? And I understand you're a somewhat abnormal person with a somewhat abnormal job. That I can accept. I deal with abnormality every single day. I don't need everything in my life to be normal. And on the air, you do what you do. That's your job. But off the air, for me to be in this marriage...I need to know I'm the only one. And I'm not saying that to pressure you. I'm saying it because it's just something I know about myself. So... if you need more time or whatever...
Howard
I don't need any more time. I am just so madly in love with you. I don't... I don't need anyone else in my life. I never wanted anyone else in my life. All I want is you. I just want you to forgive me. Thanks for coming back.
