Opie And Anthony Diss Howard Stern On FOX

Friday, 19 May 2006

Opie and Anthony say it wasn't much fun when they worked at the same radio company as Howard Stern. The pair diss Howard Stern in an interview set to air at 9 tonight on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes.

Anthony claims Stern made their lives miserable at Infinity Broadcasting. He says Stern couldn't stand somebody else being successful in his city.

"The guy made our lives miserable when we worked for Infinity Broadcasting.He put a gag order on us so we couldn't talk about him. He didn't like somebody else being successful in his city, in New York. His home base. [Even though] we were in a different day part. We were doing afternoons, he was doing mornings", Anthony is quoted as saying during the interview.

During the interview, Opie claimed they obtained Stern's chair when he departed Infinity, and they got rid of it, because they didn't want to sit in it.

The thing I never understood about O &A is why they are so pissed they were not able to talk about Howard because of this "gag order"

It's like they were unable to provide a show unless they talk about Howard.

These guys are worse than Sal with their obsession of Howard.

you never see any press at all about O & A where howard is not mentioned.


I just don't get it ...

If they are supposed to have such a great show, why not focus on providing that show.

Instead they bitch about not being able to talk about howard \.


They say they were miserable because they could not talk about Howard ??



Makes no sense

If I am O & A the last thing I want to do is bring attention to Stern.

I don't give a shit about Howard If I'am those guys.

If im being booked on a natinal tv show Im not going to mention Howards name I'am going to talk all about The O & A show and how great we are ...I want people to forget about howard


Instead they bring Howard's name up all the time on XM, Testical radio and national TV reminding people about Howard

It's like they enjoy shooting themselves in the foot

Because of this I think they will forever be in Howards shadow.

And they have brought that on themselves

You never hear of any radio program devoting so much time energy and content about another show.

It's just fucking weird

not only can't they come up with their own brand of radio but they can't even do it for 10 seconds without mentioning howard's name

i think them being on free radio is actually good for howard because it reminds howard's listeners who haven't bought sirius yet that they should

It is a page from the Howard Stern manual. Didn't you hear him during the last day at W-NNNNN-BC today on the friday show? They were copying the way he used to rib Imus when he they worked together. The only difference is Stern had higher ratings than Imus at the time, and them 2 didn't have a fraction of Howard's audience when they worked together at Infinity.

by some miracle, they make it on to sean hannity's show on fox and they spend their precious few minutes talking about howard stern. these two guys may be the stupidest fucking idiots to ever take on howard. they constantly talk about him, getting his name out to the public even more than it already is.

i notice that nothing about them or their show is ever included in these articles that pop up. obviously its because no one fucking cares what they have to say unless its something outrageous about howard. IDIOTS!!!

The funny thing is, O&A are even stealing Howard's rant about Imus.

Howard is to O&A as Imus is to Stern.

They are using Stern as a springboard the way Howard used Imus.

The only difference is they won't surpass Howard, the way Howard surpassed Imus.

It's like they were unable to provide a show unless they talk about Howard.

It's so pathetic. I have listened to my local guys (WRIF Detroit) off & on for 10 years or so, never heard them mention Howard once, never tried to creat a "rivalry," just your standard [insert name here] & [insert name here] drive-time hack clone show with a lot of local flavor, a little more sports-heavy than your usual. The result was a pretty decent show, and actually one of the few major market morning shows that was able to beat Howard head-to-head. Haven't heard them much since 1-9-06, but last I checked they were still kicking ass in The D. When will the others learn - trying to be like Howard, drawing attention to Howard, and bashing Howard will only hurt you.

They sound like a bunch of 'tards. Seems like the only way they can get any publicity/exposure/etc is by talking about Howard. Just goes to show how much Howard influences them.

They should really focus on their own crappy show instead of focussing their lives around Howard, sounds like they're in love with him and want to always get his attention.

This morning was the first morning since they have been back on 92.3 that they did not mention Howard directly. EVERY Day they bring him up! They didnt mention him this morning but the bit I heard was them trying to make a guy with Turrets read a news piece. He sounded just like John the stutterer...so why they didnt mention him, they directly ripped him off.

THANKS FOR THE ARTICLE.....first off its thier first chance to be on a network show and what do they do.....just like thier show.....they talk about Stern....unreal

also about the chair that is completely NOT TRUE.....when i did the SFRT a few times we got a tour of the studio and i walked by sterns console and asked about the chair cuz it looks so old and beatup......i was told by stern staff that has been with howie for many years that, that chair has been with howard for over 20+ years and that he loves it and it has always been with him

If they mentioned Howard once or twice about the gag order, I would kind of understand, but every fucking day with Howard. And how can you compare Howard complaining about his material being cut up by the FCC and O&A not being able to talk about ONE person! ONE guy! It doesn't even make sense business wise, but wouldn't you gag order some douche that want attention by bashing you all the time. They talked about his daughter OD'ing for god's sake! But I'm just preaching to the converted so, I'll stop now.

My theory on why they are so obsessed is because I think they would have wanted to work with their idol, and they pictured themselves working with the King. Then the King paid them no attention and now they are obsessed on destroying him, but they'll never succeed. They just look very sad.

When are they going to realize they are failures on Satellite radio. Going back to boring terrestrial radio proves it. If they were big on Satellite radio, they wouldn't have to do boring old-fashioned radio. Their stupids fans are so brain-washed, it is riduculous. It is funny because they think Howard and his fans care about their terrestrial move. He CHOOSE to leave that crap. They can get 1000 terrestrial markets, is still doesn't mean they didn't fail on satellite radio.

It's no wonder there's a problem if they have not met or spoke at length in person. They need to meet each other and sit down and talk. It just like this messageboard. It's easy to trash people here before you meet and talk to them face to face. This is the same situation going on between O&A and Howard. They need to meet and let go of the grudges.

Opie And Anthony Diss Howard Stern On FOX

Friday, 19 May 2006

Opie and Anthony say it wasn't much fun when they worked at the same radio company as Howard Stern. The pair diss Howard Stern in an interview set to air at 9 tonight on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes.

Anthony claims Stern made their lives miserable at Infinity Broadcasting. He says Stern couldn't stand somebody else being successful in his city.

"The guy made our lives miserable when we worked for Infinity Broadcasting.He put a gag order on us so we couldn't talk about him. He didn't like somebody else being successful in his city, in New York. His home base. [Even though] we were in a different day part. We were doing afternoons, he was doing mornings", Anthony is quoted as saying during the interview.

During the interview, Opie claimed they obtained Stern's chair when he departed Infinity, and they got rid of it, because they didn't want to sit in it.

Anyone who watched the interview could see they weren't bashing Howard. Why would you even post that as the thread title? So much drama.

howard did not want to be embarrassed about his daughter ODing at a party and going to the hospital.... o/a said about it on the radio... howard said stop it ... o/a said no... howard went to the bosses to put the gag order... to punish them....

the question u need to ask o/a is what do they want from howard to end this?? we should know that ok?

howard really doesnt care about them... all of this is on them... howard was only concerned with it became a personal issue that is the point... if there is something else... o/a are not letting the public know...

So why didn't he say that on Hannity?

Instead he said that he preferred to use his power to shut O&A up.

He said that he believes in freedom of speech for himself only.

I think he would have looked better if he mentioned how personal O&A were being.

because it was a done issue this occurred in 1999.... realize that o/a's actions caused many people to lose their jobs.. stations lost revenue and went out of business and in NY at least 5 show hosts lost their jobs due to o/a's actions... howard did not do that to anyone... the jobs/ stations being lost now are CBS's fault since howard gave them 14 months to prepare for this time....

so do O&A. Whenever someone on their boards attacks them they want them banned they don't sit around and say "its freedom of speech! Let them say what they want".

I think Stern's gag order really helped O&A out alot. They were big in WNEW when they focused on their own show. If Stern allowed them to constantly bitch about him then they would be out of work right now.

dont forget you cant say lobster girl on thier show or on wackbag. opieandanthony.net refused to comply and got shut down. But the average o&a fans dont admit these things actually happened. They should both be gagged by Lexinton Steeles cock.

That really doesn't answer the question. Hannity had a point and gave Howard a great chance to explain himself. I think he could have done better instead of giving O&A all that ammunition.



realize that o/a's actions caused many people to lose their jobs.. stations lost revenue and went out of business and in NY at least 5 show hosts lost their jobs due to o/a's actions...

Very true. But they didn't get fired on purpose. They were pushing the envelope and didn't know where to stop. Ron and Fez lost their jobs because of the incident but don't hold a grudge.

The other shows that were dropped were dropped because they couldn't carry the station. O&A was carrying everyone on their backs. If they were good, they would still have jobs.

As far as the stations, they should have grown a set of balls and told the Catholic League to go Fukk themselves. They fired them out of fear. And that's why they lost the revenue.


howard did not do that to anyone... the jobs/ stations being lost now are CBS's fault since howard gave them 14 months to prepare for this time....

I totally agree. The problem was that they had nobody to choose from. All of the contenders (Don & Mike etc) had proven that they couldn't fill in for Howard.

O&A were the only ones who were successful in syndication but they were at XM. So they were forced to go with an unproven entity. DLR!!!

We know what happened there.

LOVE ME DADDY! Howard wasnt there to talk about your heros dumbass. Hope you get "the gay"

They're not my heroes. Howard is.

But I like their show too. I think they both do great radio.

I have yet to say anything negative about Howard and I won't. I am a fan.

I do think he should take on O&A instead of letting them get away with bashing him all the time.

"Well, look at the situation. Listeners and FCC Restrictions vs. FCC Freedom and Fewer listeners... If you're trying to make a deal and get your show out to as many people as possible, you want the FM deal. XM is a great deal, but let's be honest, it's starting over.

XM/FM is the way to go, career wise. Compromise is always a bitch, but it's the logical way to go."

"Hey you!
I said AT THE TIME we would rather have gone to FM than XM.
Before we signed on, satellite was not the place successfull radio people went to. Things are different now. We love being on both XM and FM.
BAck when we were just being allowed to work again we would have liked to step into our old positions and success that we had. Who wouldn't?
We had to start over again with a smaller fan base AND on a premium service that people had to pay extra for. So yeah, AT THE TIME fm radio would have been better for us but we didn't want to start over in some small market in east bumfuck either. I think some people missed my point with that quote.

So now they admit that in fact they had no career options? For the last two years, they've been lying and said that Infinity trapped them in their contract because Howard was afraid of them. Now the truth comes out. Exactly as I've always said, O&A were the ones that didn't want out of the contract because they didn't want to go to east bumfuck, and even XM barely existed. Of course they wanted the remainder of their fat contracts that they could never hope to replace.

guests who were on the show plenty of times. aerosmith called into the show and said they could care less what krock did. Vince mcmahon defied him and called O&A first before going on Howards show with the reason being is O&A actually watched wrestling and promoted it better than Howard. And they also did the XFL pregame for him.

Agreed. And I have said before that I listen to them, so I feel like I can speak semi-intelligently about Opie: he's really kind of bitter and jealous. Another time he was talking about how he was looking at an apartment in Howard's building, and wouldn't THAT be so great for him to live there. And of course, the time he said if he saw Howard running in the park again (I guess he saw him there once) he would punch him in the face.

Opie seems like the nerdy kid at school who analyzes his interactions with the "cool kids" and obsesses about them. In his head, he's built Howard up to deity status almost. Obviously Howard knows that they are competitors in that they are both DJs, but I think Howard has bigger stuff on his mind. I think that drives Opie (and Anthony to a lesser extent who at least has held a real job in his life) insane.

This was a few months ago, I can't remember if it was before, or after his moved to Sirius. But yes, it's really weird. Lite out and make your own way Opie.

I'm sure they read this message board, or at the very least get the contents of it reported back to them. Didn't they "sanction" the attack on all things Howard, and wasn't this board named specifically? I might be getting my facts mixed up. They're fucking richer than any of us will ever be, and they're telling their fans to "attack us".

They ignore the fact that this forum is no where near as dynamic as general chat, and I have never seen anyone on here waste their avatar on an OnA bash, yet you go over to wackfag and see more howard avatars than on here!

Hell I believe that most OnA fans are simply jilted howard lovers. Howard pissed their insignificant asses off so now they got to find them an anti-Howard to rally around.

That is exactly what Bubba was talking about. Howard is not a fighter so he doesn't talk tough behind his mic about fighting someone. Opie Ron Howard likes to talk tuff behind his mic but he never backs it up, which is why Bubba challenged him to a fight. Ofcourse, they are way too cowardly to ever actually do anything besides talk behind a mic, so they welch on Bubba's challenge. Kind of like their fans who bent over and took it up the ass every time any Stern fans noticed them at the rally. True, they were hard to notice tucked away in the corner like scared Chicken Littles. What an "army."

And this silly war is somehow important to your life?

Both sides provoke responses. It's never just any one person's fault...like a divorce.

Hey, I am not the one calling Myself General Bam, getting a few other fags to take some military names and then claiming to be an "army."

:D

I do enjoy the fact that I am on the side that is winning though and will end up watching the ultimate victory, O & A with an Imus career. Lol.

I'm shocked at how many fans are so quick to believe Howard's spin on this one.

O&A aside, XM Radio has 6.5 million subs. Sirius has 4 million.

If XM is tanking, what is Sirius doing?

Use your brains people, there have been no signs (besides Howard's first 2 quarters arrival) that Sirius is going to catch XM.

Most articles state that they are back to growing the way they were before Howard got there. He did narrow the gap a whole bunch, but not nearly enuff to call XM a failure and Sirius a success.

Personally, I don't really care. I have both and enjoy both.

I don't really believe that Sirius and XM are as much in competition as they are just struggling to turn a profit.

Peace.

Yeah,well maybe that has to do with the fact that XM existed almost 2 years before Sirius did...that might change in the next 2 years

The FTC is investigating XM concerning sub numbers. They may have to revise their sub numbers to NOT include parked cars and the huge number of free subs.
