El Horrible Skewers Howard Stern, Karl Hamburger, and Influencer Culture on BeDabblin LIVE
El Horrible slams Howard Stern, Karl Hamburger, and influencer culture.
On the March 22nd, 2026 edition of "BeDabblin LIVE w/El Horrible ep150," the eponymous host, El Horrible, dedicated a significant portion of the 207-minute broadcast to dissecting past pronouncements from shock jock titan Howard Stern.
