Opie discusses Howard Stern trashing dead Don Imus
- Thread starter TTalkradio1
- Start date
Opie who?
Opie is probably best known as one half of "Opie & Anthony", previously syndicated show from WNEW New York. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opie_and_Anthony
So much for the "kindler, gentler" Howard Stern....
I think Howard is afraid that Imus will be called the first shock jock, so he kept trashing him years after they were on the same station.
.... I guess someone cares .....
Seems to be in poor taste fro Howard Stern to trash somebody that is now dead, and can't defend himself, even through it was reported that they didn't get along when they were both alive.
Gee, where have I heard that before?
In years past, Imus did a pretty good job of trashing Stern ... regularly.
Imus seemed to have toned down the Stern-hating as he aged and sobered up...Stern was never against giving the I-man a tongue lashing.
Actually, Opie and Anthony themselves were not fans of Imus during their WNEW days. They used to mock Imus regularly (back then they lampooned everybody: CBS-FM, Don and Mike, Darian O'Toole, even their own station). Opie's view seemed to change over the years referring to himself as Imus' long-lost son...I suppose when you've been on the top of the heap in NYC radio to a podcast that gets removed from WW1, your views mellow out a wee bit.

Did somebody else post about it?
... and it made for some great radio during the four decades it was going on ... both sides. I doubt that we will ever see that again.
Imus thought they were funny when they made fun of him. I remember that Anthony didn't like Imus on WNEW. Opie met Imus at a book signing, and they became friends.
I don't remember Imus saying much about Howard besides Mel Karmazin liking him more than he liked Howard or the the time when Howard called into the show after Bernard said that Beth had Herpes.
