| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02  | Nothing would be better than to have the two fat losers dumped from Infinity. That would mean the end of their syndication deal, and they'd have to start all over again from nothing. Funny how they said that they were gonna put Rush Limbaugh out of business in middays, now they're the ones that are gonna be out of business. I remember that first day when they were on in NY, and it seemed like they were gonna be pals with O&A too. Well, you gotta remember that Don can never get along with any other show. He has been in fights with every other show that I can think of. Look at his treatment of his "pal" G. Gordon Liddy. Don's just a fat, balding, insecure, rapidly aging baby boomer, whose looking at the downside of his career. The glory days for him are over. It's "old man" radio from here on out. Where is the Kent State National Guard when you need 'em? First I'm going to knock you silly, then I'm gonna fuck you stupid. Are you ready to do the man dance? | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 02 | I am a fan of both shows, though admittdly more so of Don and Mike since I have been listening for the better part of 15 years. but in all honesty, this war is the absolute worst thing that could happen to both shows. If D & M were to get out of their contracts and go somewhere where they could go head to head with O & A, they would never be able to beat O & A in New York. On the other side, O & A will never be able to beat D & M in DC. In other markets where they go head to head, they would most likely kill each other by splitting the share of listeners evenly. O & A would win in some places and D & M in others but by dividing the listeners between the two, neither would be able to get the ratings to beat out other stations in the market. Worst case scenario could be both shows losing their syndication deals because of low ratings. The two shows cant get along, that is obvious, but why is it so hard to simply ignore each other? Its the simple answer, but unfortunately the egos on both sides will probably never allow that. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: I remember, but not exactly that way. What I recall is that when D&M was tape-delaying to NY they would occasionally come to WNEW to broadcast 3-7 to the network. When they first came up the two shows tried to be a kind of "welcome wagon" to each other. D&M I believe, sent a muffin basket (or something like it to O&A; O&A, in their style, sent a stripper to D&M. Ant went on D&M a little, more as a attempt to get along than as being a true "Friend of Show", the way he is with the ARF shows. This was never really buddy buddy, just more like being supportive (ironically). This all ended with the D&M blow up over being on live, which O&A construed (right or wrong) to mean that D&M wanted the 3-7 slot. As for Infinity wanting a live show for commercials, remember WNEW dicked around with "Best of Radio Chick" for a long time after they let her go.  2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....) 1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice 1a. Try and go a week without having to punch a wall in frustration after watching the Mets play 2. 90 Wins and somehow get the Mets into playoffs this year 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 3a.Have team understand it is OK to get a hit with runners on base. 4. Mets win World Series (after divine intervention) | ||||

Maybe in Sacramento and DC, they seem to have a following there, but where else have Don and Mike shown success? I have listened to them for 10 years and now I hate the show. After listening to O & A and Ron and Fez, Don and Mike are just bland and boring. Then they ruin the show even more by putting Leah Remini on. If they could turn me off, don't be so sure that they can't be beaten in their own home town. The show is too milktoast to succeed in hardworking, manly towns like New York, Boston, Cleveland etc. The places where Don and Mike can do well are redneck towns like Witchita and wussy little government centers and office park towns like Sacramento and, yes DC. Some towns Don and Mike have failed in (just off the top of my head): Miami Buffalo Worchester Mass Dallas Chicago Oakland Bakersfield CA Pittsburgh Albequerque NM Athens GA Tampa FL LOSERS !

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Yeah, Don and Mike will be o the air foreve- oh what is that you say "they've been suspeneded and Opie and Anthony are still doing their show." But Don and Mike are going to take over New Yor- what, what's that? "Don and mike have been syndicated in new york for 2 years and they are the second lowest rated show on wnew? AND they can't even get the rating that the Radio Chick, an almost unknown show, had when she was in middays?" But Don and Mike rule right? What? Crickets? Cna't get good guests? They couldn't get ratings in New york if they paid people, you say? ************* Give it up, Don and Mike supporters, all two of you, I think that Don and Mike are a show that can succeed, but not on WNEW. If Don and Mike had half a brain, they'd leave infinity for clear channel.  "You don't know who I am? Fool! Don't make me bitch-slap you!" | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Yeah, I was guessing that it was just a week suspension. And you don't have to listen if you don't want to, but i'll be waiting to see if the war will start up again. And P.S.: It seems that O&A are nto allowed to say Don and Mike's name on their show. Today, Jim Norton seemed to be manuvering to try as hard as he could not to say their names. And I remember that when O&A came back, Opie didn't call Don "Don Geronimo." He called him Don Debella, and for the rest of the rant, he referred to Don and Mike as "the fat twins" I wonder if infinity has squashed this battle. "You don't know who I am? Fool! Don't make me bitch-slap you!" | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | quote: If Infinity has half a brain they'd bite the bullet and bench them for the rest of thier contract. WHY? D&M have openly talked about leaving after thier current contract is up. Why let them maintain a following if they are not going to stay? It makes no sense to keep them on the air. If D&M are serious about going to another station to do afternoons once thier contract is up, why not give O&A an edge by benching them? The general public does have short memories. Being off the air can only hurt them when they do return to DC afternoon drive. The longer they are benched, the more of a chance you give O&A. PS: This has been done before. Wendy Williams used to do a show on HOT 97. She got the company pissed at her and they pulled her off the air. They made her sit out ther rest of her contract by just recording commercials, ect... She eventually would up on BLS, but it took her quite a few years to get back on NY radio. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | I have only been listening to either show for about 9 months since I moved to D.C. I listen to all three of the big 3 at infinity ..... Not everyday to every show but enough to know what is going on with all of the shows ..... I do have to admit that I like O&A the best by far ..... They do not play the childish game the whole show like Howard and D&M but they do their share ..... Anyway, this whole thing needs to be put to rest because most of you here believe O&A are far superior to D&M but D&M still do have a few good bits from time to time ..... Now, if it came down to O&A head-to-head against D&M I would listen to O&A all the time ..... Also, to all of you who say that D&M suck so bad then why do you know so much about their show .... It shows that obviously you listen to their show also .... So, get off of O&A's dick because it's not like they will ever mention you on the air or even care what you have to say ..... | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | IStink, Decide what you want to be: Logical or an idiot. If you want to be logical and say you like D&M, fine. Just don't give the old "you must listen all of the time.......". some here tried D&M and didn't like it. Some tried D&M and DO like it (although very few by the numbers). Act like an adult, you will be treated like an adult (by most here). Act like a dick, and you should take it to junkyard or you'll be gone. 2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....) 1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice 1a.

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | quote: Amen. I don't understand the logic of the people coming here just to start shit. If you like both shows and want to have a logical, fact based discussion on O&A vs. D&M, then by all means do as the topic of this thread suggests and post it here. I have had intelligent discussions with people from this board who like both shows. But they remained just that, intelligent. DO NOT come in here and type things like " Opie and Anthony suck. Don and Mike rule!!!" It makes no sense. There are no hard facts to base any opinion upon when it comes to a matter of personal preference. IF you want to talk facts (D&M's not being on the air, ect...) in a logical way, or use them to back up an intelligent arguement you are making, then fine. Just don't be an ass and make blanket statements like the one above and expect us to take you seriously. PS: Istink, I never said I do not listen, THat would be a lie. I do catch bits and pieces once in awhile. That said, I choose not to listen most of the time, because I really just can't get into the show. My post about why the should be benched is not based on hatred of them, because there really isn't any. I hate no man I've never met, because I'm bright enough to realize that I am only seeing a certain side of that person through the media, ect... My post is based on what Infinity should do to protect one of thier biggest frachises knowing D&M are going to leave. That is all it is based on.

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | OK, here I'll explain myself then ..... The childish comment was about someone saying Don & Mike suck because they play those fart sounds while they are talking to someone .... all I was saying wast that O&A do the same thing .... I mean there is only so much you can do to appeal to basically the same audience .... all three shows aren't that much different .... but like I stated I think O&A are better just because they make better radio .... I know I jumped around in my statement and I wasn't trying to start an argument I was just stating that a lot of people that come on here and say Don & Mike suck know more about their show than I do and I admittedly listen .... And for all of you who say they should be benched .... what about Howard .... he says he is going to leave also .... I know he doesn't say he is going anywhere else but according to you then they should bench him to promote other infinity shows because he won't be around in a couple years .... Just put them back on the air and let the fans do the talking by either supporting Don&Mike or not listening .... | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | Istink, There is a big difference between Howard and D&M. Howard has always stated that he is done in radio after this contract. He may leave Infinity, but only to retire. He's leaving, but not to make the competition money. So of course he stays on the air. D&M on the other hand have stated a few times that they were going to walk at the end of thier contracts. They have also stated a desire to go to another DC station (owned by a competitor) to do afternoons in direct competition with O&A. Given thier history in the DC market, and the relatively short amount of time left on thier contracts (months), it would make good sense for Infinity to bench them. If they are off the air for a few months, Infinity gives O&A a running start in the DC market. Why help them maintain an audience for a few months when you know they are going to try to take said audience to a different company in a few months with the sole purpose of going head to head with one of your biggest franchises? It makes no sense. As far as if D&M go back on the air? I do not care. MY whole point has always been about the biz. side of this situation. Financially you would have to eat a few months of salary, but the potential for making money for years, through a strong, highly rated O&A show is too great not consider. DO not forget that they are syndicated to quite a few of the same markets. You don't think that if D&M are doing afternoons at a new station that they are not going to want to be resyndicated to some of the same markets, only in afternoon? It has the potential to affect the finacial health of quit a few stations that Infinity owns. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 02 | That is a really good point. Infinity needs to bench these guys, the longer they are off the air the more stable the DC Army can become. I moved down here beforre syndication and was forced to listen to these guys. At first, I was shocked at how bad D&M really were, I had heard so much about them from DC residents. After a while they started to grow on me. However, once O&A made it on down here I realized what I was missing. D&M are bland, boring and really repetitive. Since they are gonna walk anyway, bemch em, let them try and fight O&A after they have had some real time to estabilsh themselves in DC (not that they aren't doing well now). And to the D&M fans coming in here b/c your boards all got shut down, and are now begging for money to re-open them, you should just accept defeat gracefully b/c O&A always win in the end! If only the good die young, then we're all gonna live forever. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | By the way, krahzee's idea isn't crazy. (yeah, poor, but I HAD to do it). When O&A's contract was about to be up and they were arguing about the Stern Gag order, some tried to say they should just be difficult, so Infinity would fire them, thinking they could just go to Clear Channel. With O&A (and probably with D&M), there were clauses which prohibited them from going on in the same market for 3 mos. This is might be why Radio Chick took so long to show up. In any case it makes absolutely no sense to put on D&M re-runs in NY. Put them on live or put something else on. If people in NY don't listen to their live shows, why would anyone listen to it in repeats? 2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....) 1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice 1a.

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 02 | Personally I dont think they are going to clear channel, everytime something comes up or they get to the end of their contract D and M start this. No big deal, its just like Howard, every contract for the past 10 years has been his last. In all honesty I think all 3 of these shows are just as addicted to doing them as we are to listening. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 02 | I am not going to bash Don and Mike, but I seriously don't get how people can dig their show? I have been listening to talk radio for a few years now, and I cannot get into this show. It is very boring. The only good times of their show were when it was the worst of times for everyone in America, 9/11 of course. They did a great job covering the tragedy, and let the fans vent. You can't say I am an O & A drone, because I listen to O & A's most hated station in New York, K-ROCK from 10-3, and I find the Julie Slater more interesting than Don and Mike, and that is not a bash, it's just the truth. I'd rather sit through an all talk program by Cane and Cabby, before listening to Don and Mike. Once again, not a bash, just the truth. The truth is, Don and Mike will never make it in New York. There are too many Stern drones, and O & A drones. Don and Mike are now hated by both shows. They don't have a shot in hell of building an audience in New York. In my eyes it's not about the war between the shows, just the simple fact that Don and Mike are uninteresting. I tried, but I can't find anything worth listening to, not even Leah Remini. That's just my opinion. I like teh show! | ||||

They like the music there (if they didn't play the same songs every hour). Of course, there is the Stern issue over there (and Tom Chiasano who kisses Stern's ass); that is why in response to Radio Dentist suggestions that they should move to WXRK, they said they would have to broadcast from WNEW's studio, since they actually like the people there. 2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....) 1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice 1a.
