That Time I Interned for Howard Stern

The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The Howard Stern Intern story. I brought this up on my post a few weeks ago about working for Pfizer, and the demand was high.

I wasn’t surprised that he was pushing me, it was just getting on my nerves. “Dude, no! There’s...
