I guess it was more aimed at John, though Stern certainly used the wife.
Howard Stern was a guilty pleasure. The one great thing I heard on his show (besides comedy) was his live reporting on 9/11 which was more honest than anyone else. “You know that second building is coming down next”.
But over all I think he’s a creep.
The “farcical” phone call to Peter Jennings during the O.J. chase (”And Baba Booey to y’all!”) was a classic.
