Secondly, with the hotel thing, we always 66 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.400 talked around the radio station like. 67 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:20.719 Is this guy even alive? 68 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.400 Like they're going to pick him up at that crazy 69 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.840 hotel and then you'd roll in and just crush it 70 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:26.759 every time you're on the air. 71 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.319 My office with all the boxes in it, Yeah, I 72 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.439 had all my shit and yeah at the radio station 73 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.240 in boxes because I lived in this like studio. So 74 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.319 what it was was it was it was a fancy 75 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.120 hotel where like the New York Rangers stayed when they 76 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.639 try Okay for the season, and the garden was on 77 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.280 thirty four then last, but on the side of the 78 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.000 hotel they had studios, right, So originally they put me 79 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.520 in one of the suites at the top on the 80 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.479 thirty six floor in the hotel. But after I ordered 81 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.879 like one hundred grand in food and boot then they 82 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.759 started figuring out the grift that I was like scanning them, yeah, 83 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.639 and that that I was, you know, free loading. And 84 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.000 then they moved me to this fucking crack room. It 85 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.840 was like a studio apartment for crack addicts. And I 86 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:17.920 went from and I was like looking out the window 87 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.319 jerking off to the skyline of New York. Yeah. No, 88 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.759 it was awful. At first I was penthouse. I'm up 89 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.600 there banging house. And then I moved into this cracked 90 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.920 neighborhood and I'll never forget in the back of the 91 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.160 hotel where I lived. They the guys producers, was banging 92 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.120 on my door to get me out of bed. 93 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.560 Yeah, man, it was.

I went on in defended, 103 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.199 Uh what you did?

And then so I remember the next morning, 109 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.560 I was in bed with thirty four CE I lived 110 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.360 at the time in north Bergen in like this apartment, 111 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.839 and the phone rang and it was CBS and they 112 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.120 said you're fire. I said, what did I do? And 113 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.639 they're like, you're friends with them?

I was number 119 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.240 one in Miami in two weeks. But the best thing 120 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:53.680 that came out of it open was I worked with 121 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.800 Neil Rodgers. He was the funniest dude that I have 122 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.240 ever worked with in my entire life. He was filthy 123 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:05.600 and repulsive, disgusting, the racist. He was nasty, mean, but 124 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.839 he was so curmudgety funny that it was brilliant. I 125 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.279 think we were getting a twenty share together in morning drive. 126 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.680 I did mornings, he did middays, and we killed it. 127 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.079 I had so much fun in that year that I 128 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.160 got thrown out of New York after sacks for Sam. 129 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.240 It was the year the Marlins beat the Yankees in 130 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.319 six games in the World Series, and I went to 131 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.079 every game. It was fucking titties. 132 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.279 That is absolutely awesome. 133 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.439 But then after that we all came back to radio, 134 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.839 and we all ended up on satellite, and you started 135 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.720 working for Howard Stern, and that's when that's when the 136 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.000 battle begun between. 137 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.199 To this day. Not with me, no, but you and 138 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:50.040 I have been friends ever since. Your fans they've wanted 139 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.720 me dead, be dead for twenties sex years. I get 140 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.920 threats yesterday this day, when people are online talking about 141 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.680 because I do a podcast and millions of people watch it, 142 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.680 and I get millions of threats and everything. And then 143 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.199 I'll constantly see like, yeah, yesterday, I didn't tell anyone 144 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.319 I was doing your show because I opened up the 145 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.920 floodgates and say I'm going on the Opie Live podcast. Yeah, 146 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:21.000 fucking I'll get I'll get six hundred thousand threats. So 147 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.800 I didn't say anything. And then someone yesterday wrote, uh, 148 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.160 tell everybody about this cunt Anthony Takumia, and I don't. 149 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.439 I didn't see what he did or responded to, or 150 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.360 if he even did at all. I just know that 151 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.800 if I would have said I was coming on this show, 152 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:39.759 I would have gotten all that gay ass party raw 153 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.360 er right, fucking pussy shit. I'm you know, I'm not. 154 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.920 I get it. What happened. Here's the truth. I went 155 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.920 to work for Tim. I wasn't one of Howard's guys. 156 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.480 I didn't I wasn't. I didn't suck his balls. I 157 00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:00.000 didn't swing from his balls. He didn't. He doesn't like sports. Yeah, 158 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.879 he is not a sports guy. If he goes to 159 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.319 a nick game, it's to be seen and then ten 160 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.759 minutes later he leaves the game. Right. So I went 161 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.720 to work for Tim Sabey and that was my guy. 162 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.959 I worked for him at YSB Philly. I worked for 163 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.240 him at any W in New York, and he asked 164 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.360 me to go to the Stern Channels. I think the 165 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.000 reason I was selected for the Stern Channels was because 166 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.920 I had five million fans and they wanted me to 167 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.879 bring five million fans to Howard Steet Right. They wanted 168 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.639 my fans to suck his dick, and they did that 169 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.240 and it worked. I was there but nine years whatever, 170 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.279 and listen, I had a wife and kids. I'm taking 171 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.240 care of my family over here, and they paid me 172 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.159 a lot of money. And then I went to his wedding. 173 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.840 But that was the only thing I ever did with 174 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.960 him in nine years. And then when it ended, I 175 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.200 think I got it the same way he just did 176 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:51.399 everyone else. He did me a little cooler than them. Yeah, 177 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.399 I had Buckwald was my agent. So They brought me 178 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.159 in one day and they said, we're gonna move you 179 00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.879 to mad Dog Radio and I want you to go 180 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.039 to lunch with Chris and I was like at the time. 181 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.039 At the time, I was like, he's a pussy and 182 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.320 I said, I don't want to do that, and they said, 183 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:12.600 You're going to lunch with Chris. Yeah. I went to 184 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.919 lunch with him and we got along and he was 185 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.240 really cool to me. And I was surprised because I 186 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:21.159 fucking hated him and fact sessa with a fucking vengeance. 187 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.360 But when I went to start, he respected me because 188 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.600 I did well for Howard. So once he got that 189 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.320 job there making millions, he always groveled to Howard and 190 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.960 he was one of the one of the guys, right. Yeah, 191 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.120 he started treating me better. But they asked me to 192 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:39.399 move to his channel. I declined, and I went back 193 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.440 to CBS Sports Radio to do bro Own Invention nationally 194 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.679 with like Jim Rome and them, and I did ten 195 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.679 more years. And the reason I did it, though, was 196 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.360 I got ten more years of pension out of SAG 197 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.759 after him, So I did it for the pension because 198 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.320 when I went back there, that was the biggest pussy 199 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.679 fucking radio show I've ever done in my life. I 200 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.519 had to be clean and I had to be perfect, 201 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.759 and I had bosses Mark and Eric Smith work so 202 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.360 far on my ass. They thought I would fuck it 203 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.639 up and get fired within a year, and then I 204 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.159 would screw it up. So I behaved on my best 205 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.000 and I got away with ten years. And then what 206 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:16.879 I get out of that, not to bore you, is 207 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.639 that so I'm sixty one now, in five years, I 208 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.200 get that pension till I'm dead, right, which is pretty 209 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.639 nice because I did the white husband double easy money 210 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.120 every month till I'm dead.

I couldn't I 293 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:56.200 couldn't move, And. 294 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.559 Then it turned out, and then it turned out, and 295 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:00.360 I was relieved that it was as that's a long 296 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.399 story for another day, but I was relieved when he 297 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.120 was whispering to me, this whole thing's been a prank. 298 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:05.120 This whole thing's had been a. 299 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.720 Prank, And the only thing I was thinking was thank God, 300 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.279 because he's gonna squorch me like a fucking pancake if 301 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:10.919 this continues. 302 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.480 Yeah, I never got in. I think I'm being honest, 303 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:19.159 like so, through the years, I've done the show for 304 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.679 like forty one years, thirty five years basically syndicated nationally, 305 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:25.840 and then the last thirty years or so i've been 306 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:29.679 in New York. I think the only I mean legitimately, 307 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.919 the only radio fight I was ever in was with 308 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.039 you guys. And meanwhile, meanwhile, you know how much I 309 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.679 loved you, and how fucking great I thought this show was. 310 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.639 I thought the show was the greatest show I'd ever 311 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:44.840 heard in my life in terms of it was so 312 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.679 funny what you guys did, and Jim and everybody involved 313 00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.679 in the show, Norton, all these guys, it was just 314 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.840 the funniest show I'd ever heard. So I thought it 315 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.279 was brilliant and then for me, it was a bummer 316 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.039 that when I went to how one on one that 317 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:04.279 it turned into that because I loved you guys so 318 00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.039 much that I thought it just sucked dick that it 319 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:10.919 turned into a war because I've never had one of those, 320 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.840 like I legitimately legitimate. I've never like my whole career. 321 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.039 I get along with everybody, producers, people, the cleaning lady. 322 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.720 I'm nice to everybody. You know, that's true. I'm not 323 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.440 a dickhead, but I got turned into one because of 324 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.639 that fight. And that fight got nasty. And once it 325 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.720 got nasty, I was like, well, sink or swim. I'm 326 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.360 I'm either gonna fucking stand up for myself or I'm 327 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.279 gonna fucking end up being a bitch. Right. I was like, well, 328 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.320 then let's fucking get it on. But I never enjoyed 329 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:43.639 that time in my life. I thought it stuck. I 330 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.320 thought it was nasty. I thought it was gay. I 331 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:49.759 thought it was fucking unnecessary, And it was really disappointing 332 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.200 for me because you guys were like my heroes. When 333 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.679 I was doing the show there in mornings. Even though 334 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.879 I don't remember much of it, you know, I said 335 00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.799 one thing I said that Olive would end up being 336 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.799 the CEO in that company one day, and he is, 337 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:06.120 He's impressment and I and then I just I thought 338 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.000 that it was that they ruined the greatest station ever. 339 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:14.240 They fucked that out of so juicy Baconator style. They 340 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.799 fucked it up because that was a money making, multimillion 341 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.559 dollar radio station with huge ratings, great talent, great people, 342 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.480 and we had a lot of fun and they fucked 343 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.039 it all up. So they went pussy and turned it 344 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.039 into a fucking bitch ass radio station with disco musics. 345 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.639 Right, So let me let me say, to this day, 346 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.000 people say, ope, you're obsessed with Howard Stern, and I go, yep, 347 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.159 because he ruined everything his narcissism.

And I brought his 374 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.599 brother on, great basketball player, by the way, six five. 375 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.279 I played a lot with him. He was a He 376 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:47.960 was a great player. He would come out to my 377 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.720 crib and play and these these insane games and violent games. 378 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.759 And he was just a black dude that pissed off 379 00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.960 white people and he was so good at it. He 380 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.200 was so great at getting on the people's skin, and 381 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.880 I would put him on he at night, and I 382 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.079 mean he would start ship immediately, and I mean the 383 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.680 show would just fucking blow up and it would be 384 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.519 crazy every night, every night. So he ended up doing 385 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.440 the wrap up show I think with Gary for like 386 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.839 at least twelve years, and then I think the last 387 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:18.119 fifteen or three or four years he did Stern Biology. Right. Yeah, 388 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.359 he got fired, and a lot of my friends there 389 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.000 got fired. He was the one I cared about the most. 390 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:27.720 But I knew how they how they felt because it 391 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:31.640 didn't happen to me. I would have changed the channels 392 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.480 as well. Look when they did it to me, I thought, 393 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.119 this is a good idea. I would I would make 394 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.960 one on one more about Howard and less about whackpackers 395 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.559 and Pharrell doing sports shows. I didn't think it was 396 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.240 a bad decision. This thing. Now, my opinion of it 397 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:47.680 is it's a lot different, Like he's an old man 398 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.279 now and he's doing like show a week or something. 399 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:55.920 It's just it's over, Like, I don't know, so the 400 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.680 ICA listens to it, right, Being honest, I don't know 401 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.559
