Howard Stern Denies Going 'Woke,' Says Not Being Macho is a Personal Issue, Not an Attack

Howard Stern denied going 'woke,' dismissing claims that he has retired as 'untrue.' He chided people who view caring for others as not 'macho' and expressed his opposition to what he sees as a trend towards softening of masculinity. The shock jock host previously broke down in tears on air discussing mental health, suggesting that these recent developments are a result of this shift. Stern's comments came amid rumors of his possible retirement from the radio industry.
