Crossover

HOWARD STERN made a rare return to broadcast radio WEDNESDAY (6/20) with a call-in to BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE's syndicated morning show that aired on both BUBBA's show and STERN's SIRIUSXM show.

STERN called BUBBA, who hosted a show on STERN's SIRIUSXM HOWARD 101 channel for several years, to weigh in on the latter's FACEBOOK spat with his former Exec. Producer BRENT HATLEY, who went on to work with STERN. The dispute arose over HATLEY's post thanking people who have helped him with his career, listing several people including BUBBA, but also BUBBA's rival MIKE CALTA, morning host at BUBBA's old station, COX MEDIA GROUP Talk WHPT (102.5 THE BONE)/TAMPA.

"That would be like (STERN producer) GARY (DELL'ABATE) adding OPIE AND ANTHONY to the list," BUBBA contended, to which HATLEY responded, "That would be more like GARY thanking STUTTERING JOHN (MELENDEZ)"; BUBBA pointed out that DELL'ABATE is not suing MELENDEZ. But asked by STERN if HATLEY is still the godfather to BUBBA's child, BUBBA responded, "Of course."
