Reminiscing his decisions and no interest in becoming a radio jock, Mund said, "I never wanted to be famous. I just wanted to drive Howard. Then [one day in the mid-'90s], I heard [late comedian] Sam Kinison on the show and didn’t like a prank he had pulled. I called the hotline and really got into it with Sam."

On the show as well, they are known to have a bonding relationship. On one occasion, Stern commented on Mund's driving skill saying that he drove like 'an old lady'. On another occasion, Mund praised Stern's laid-back attitude even with his superstar fame and told, "As a boss, Howard is great. You don’t have to do the deal of opening the door for him. He’s a regular guy."
