Stern knows he's pleasing multiple divergent audiences. In a sense, he realizes a large part of his listeners are laughing at him, not with him, but he doesn't care. Either way, he gets paid, and we get some chuckles.

4 basic Howard bit-types:
1 hot girl on show- this part is tired and repetitive, and gets sicker as he gets older- this is when I'm embarassed to be a listener.
2 Howard on rant at staff- can be funny, but once I caught this on the TV show and he looked like my father in law yelling. He is getting too old for this part not to be getting bothersome.
3 Howard interviewing Celebrities- makes putting up with 1 and 2 worthwhile. The questions he asked are just so much better than anything else out there, Nancy Sinatra starting to admit he dad left her broke, Eric Roberts on what a bitch his sister is, find that anywehre else.
4 the news- very funny almost every day.
