I've only been listening for like 14 months. What exactly did Leykis say when he trashed O&A that first day he was on?

I had always thought he originally became an enemy because he stole WOW.

The first day Leykis spoke out against O&A (September 15, 1999 - the third day of WNEW's 'new' FM Talk format), Tubby Tom said, in no specific order: O&A "don't have the balls to come and say to his face that he stole WOW". (O&A discussed Leykis' 'Flash Friday' thingie on their show earlier that day.) He also called them "pussies" and they're "Mr. Balls of Steel" and stuff, and added that they can't be so brilliant since he's syndicated. (This was when O&A were only broadcasting in NY, obviously.)

Meanwhile, O&A were listening to this psychobabble in their office, but they couldn't help but break into the studio and into Tom's show. Opie pointed out to him that he's "worried about little Opie & Anthony, talking about them to millions of his listeners", thus getting them acquainted with them. Tom was like "No, this is my show" and cut off their microphones. Ant yelled "Pussy!" at him on his way out of the studio.

The next day, Opie described the scene: Tom broadcasts in the dark, with only the glow of the phone lines, and he's dressed in 'ghetto gear', a 'down-syndrome haircut' and even sunglasses - in the dark! How pathetic...

Two years later... Who's pathetic now?

End of story.

Oh, does anyone remember back on February 8, 2000, when Jay Mohr was in-studio and at 7 pm WNEW did O&A "bonus show" and Jay tried to call Tom's show, they had a sex therapist on? Classic one-time radio!

Joe, I don't remember what I had for Breakfast this morning. How do you remember the exact date all this stuff happened?

BTW - Funniest Tubby Tom Moment was when O&A broke into his live feed and talked over his show.

Well, that's really the Yin and Yang of the board right there.

Thanks for telling me this info, guys. I wasn't a listener until Leykis had already been booted. If there is one regret I've had in my life, it's missing the Leykis stuff. This sounds like the greatest radio ever.

If O&A can play Carol Miller, I don't see why they can't play this Leykis stuff.

Who can forget the Home Shopping Guy (Don West) selling Tubby Wubby the Beanie Baby. "Look, pull the string, he plea bargains into a felony!" "I ask you a question, who had more hits last year (1998), McGwire or Tubby Wubby?" "Get your Tubby Tom with the mongoloid hair... We have changeable hair, you can give him a ponytail... then pull the string, he'll talk about it for two hours..."

I think sexbagel, of this message board, has copies of most, not all, of the battle between Leykis and O&A. I got the tape from him not too long ago.

Anybody ever wonder when Tubby Tom's show was removed from weekdays, he still could be heard on weekends on WNEW?

I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's because the contract had a certain length of time on it. Since Tom had no ratings, they dumped him in weeknights. But, WNEW still has an obligation to broadcast Tom on a regular basis.

That is only my speculation, though.

I confirm that speculation - someone with knowledge posted it on the ol' NYRMB, it's a contractual obligation. (Translation: due to a contract, WNEW is obligated to run Tubby Tom until the hours run out.)

I tell ya, it is weird to turn him on Sunday afternoon and think about the five months he was on in primetime... Opie & Anthony always win in the end!
