Target acquired. I'm Jason Horton. I'm Rebecca Leib. And this is Ghost Town.

On Father's Day 2016, Ari Nagel entered a target bathroom on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn,

New York, with a menstrual soft cup in his hand. He stayed in the stall for a couple minutes

and then exited, handing off the soft cup to a woman named DG, who took the sperm back to her

partner outside. The couple could have spent close to $25,000 at sperm banks trying to conceive,

but this sperm, which cost them less than a dollar, proved to do the trick. Today we're talking about

Ari Nagel, the controversial sperm pioneer and father of over a hundred kids, known around the

world as the elusive target sperminator. Ari Nagel is a 45-year-old six-foot-two

coony Kingsborough math professor, who grew up in an orthodox Jewish family with six siblings.

He has three kids of his own and didn't think his life would take the path that it did,

gaining him international renown for having crazy productive sperm. Don't believe me?

Nagel claims his sperm has a count of 85 million per milliliter. As a note, the Mayo Clinic says

normal sperm density ranges from 15 million to 200 million sperm per milliliter. So I'd say that's,

I don't know, pretty good? I'm not a doctor. But the main appeal of Ari Nagel's sperm services are

that he's tall, seemingly smart, genial, and he's never charged a woman for his donations.

Ever. This means thousands of dollars saved for many women when sperm and fertility can range from

$5,000 to like $35,000 to like $100,000. He does it purely for the love of spreading his seed,

Nick Cannon's style, or Elon Musk, if you will, but I won't.

Nagel had his first foray into professional baby making around 11 years ago when he went with a

friend who happened to be in Upper West Side single, straight Jewish woman in her 30s,

not that I would know anything about that, to the fertility clinic for emotional support.

She decided to do insemination, so Nagel fixed her up with someone who might be a good donor for her.
