He\u2019s been hiding out in his \u201cbunker\u201d for the past two years but was finally spotted out at the restaurant Laser Wolf in Brooklyn\u2019s Williamsburg neighborhood over the weekend with a bunch of other celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/jimmy-kimmel\">Jimmy Kimmel<\/a>, Jon Hamm, Justin Theroux, and Jason Bateman, Page Six <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2022\/10\/03\/germaphobe-howard-stern-goes-out-to-dinner-for-first-time-since-2020\">reported<\/a>. He was reportedly mask free at the table.<\/p>\n<p>Stern discussed the experience of going out for the first time in so long on the Monday episode of his radio show, which he\u2019s been recording from home all along.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really had an exhausting weekend, emotionally, physically,\u201d he explained. \u201cFor the first time in two years I ventured out of the house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the overall experience, he said, \u201cIt was too much for me. It was too much. I haven\u2019t been out in two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stern said it was Kimmel who\u2019s been urging him to come out and socialize. He extended the dinner invitation to the radio host and his wife, Beth Ostrosky, who has been quarantining with him. She wanted to go but he did not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said to my wife, \u2018I don\u2019t want to go, I\u2019m in a panic, I don\u2019t want to get COVID,\u2019\u201d Stern told the audience. He and Ostrosky are both vaccinated, he said, but that didn\u2019t affect his decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know our president has told us the pandemic is over and everyone is walking around without masks \u2026 I still just don\u2019t want to get COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The so-called \u201cKing of All Media\u201d joked in the past that anyone stopping by his house first had to get tested for COVID and either way had to wear hazmat suits. Kimmel said that when he stayed with Stern for a few days over the summer, he and his wife had to present two negative tests, the publication reported.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d host said, \u201cWe\u2019re worried that we\u2019re going to lose you from society because the longer this goes on, the more comfortable you get in that little world. And then it\u2019s harder and harder to get out of it \u2026 it\u2019s unhealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cF*** it, I\u2019m being a p****, I know,\u201d Stern agreed, before saying dinner with friends was an option he\u2019d consider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, [COVID] is still going on and I haven\u2019t left my house. I can\u2019t figure out how to integrate myself,\u201d Stern said in November 2021. \u201cI\u2019ve been locked up so long and I haven\u2019t gotten COVID. I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll be the one a**hole who gets COVID and I\u2019ll die.
