View Full Version : The Don and Mike Tirade

The very bitter "Mike and Mike Show"(Don's real name is Mike Sorce)! attacked O&A and mentioned that Ron and Fez were sucking up to O&A.
This is from 2 guys who barely get a ratings point in the number 1 radio market in the country, and have to hire an annoying talentless TV actress to boost ratings.
As far as I know, Ron and Fez have always been respectful to "Mike and Mike". Insulting them is gutless and not being a "team players", as "Mike and Mike" love to bring up.
The bottom line is that "Mike and Mike" wanted afternoons, and they are still bitter and jealous about the success of O&A. That's the bottom line.

LOL Heckler I just posted a topic about this...
Did you hear that tool call up who called O and A the other day??? He had all of his facts mixed up...Iguess thats what happens when u listen to Don and Mike. You get all f***ed up...what a bunch of losers. Also I feel bad for Leah Remni, she has no clue and listens to these two dinks. How long before she is jumping ship though??

I admit I am not a listener of those two morons. I tried to listen, they were horrible. I say live and let live, but attacking Ron and Fez was a cheap shot.
<img src=http://www.ltrooster.homestead.com/files/HecklerFootAnimation.gif>
When don said Ron and fez arent a threat to O and A that was a direct slap in the face at the quality of the R and F show.its saying ron and fez's show isnt good.
If theres one show on wnew that can reach o and a's level its ron and fez bec they have a growing fan base and have a good show, if O and A were so scared of other shows threatining them they wouldnt be embracing RON AND FEZ not don and mike

Don and Mike... just f*ck off and find another radio station and try to go head-to-head with ONA.
Just mentioning Ron and Fez is just too low even for you fools.
I hope your ratings in New York fail worse than Rock-hole's in Boston!

when i turned on my car they were wrapping up their rant....
don and mike need someone to sit down with them and explain to them that their ratings SUCK in ny..it doesn't matter how long you've been in radio, in the number one market you are bombing.
ron and fez are kicking ass in the ratings books, and they're only getting better...
all i heard was don and mike contradicting themselves the whole time..first saying that oa are not team players by trashing all of wnew besides themselves..then they say that oa don't trash rf cause they suck up..uhhh oa support ferrall, they support ron and fez...and eddie trunk...don and mike are the only ones they don't back with good reason
i have nothing witty to add.

Who gives a crap if your #1 in DC. When anyone is in radio they think New York city, not Philly, or DC. There acting like two babies. And they make it sound like Ron and Fez are O&A bend over boys. Don and mike will never be successful in ny market #1. The only one that seemed to make sense is that woman from King of Queens. I can't wait for O&A and ron and fez's reaction to this tirade. And the last time I check Ron and fez were nice to those two even when they were forced to change time slots. And you don't need to be the ages of 18-20 to listen to godsmack. What a tool
If Don and mike get kicked off the air at WNEW let Ferrall take their time slot and put stern in the morning. Sometime I rather hear tom lickass in the mid morning or the old sports guys show

For the most part, radio "feuds" are not very serious, they can help a station increase ratings and generate publicity. Years ago on WNBC Stern battled Imus, Soupy Sales and Joey Reynolds, along with management and it was great radio.
This is just pathetic.

No totally trying to trash DC market but did you hear Don and Mike trying to justify there ratings in NY by saying that DC is the number 6 market...yeah BEHIND NY, Phillie, and Boston!!! Areas where O and A are dominant.
The only reason I heard the tirade too (which is a Don and Mike attention getter, lets not eny that folks) was that I was listening to Ferrell this morning. I am locked up inside the building teaching till noonish when I have lunch. And usually I switch the station as soon as I get in the car, but i just so happened to hear those two morons mention Opies name. To be more pecise I was concentrating on backing up when I heard "Opie"...What I love is how Anthony explains the whole thing and it is just sooooooo contradictiary to how Don and Mike explain things. They just sound like two bitter ninnies to me... Ohhh well. I have a feeling O and A may not even acknowledge there tirade... What i do wish is that they said this while they were in NY. Would have been great to hear O and A come running in and hearing Don and Mike switch off mikes to prevent people from hearing the asswhooping (ALA Tom Leykis in 99 when O and A came in on his show)...

I dont care what they say about o&a but to call ron & fex ass kissers is just wrong on so many levels. Ron & Fez never said anthing bad about them & stopped any callers who tried to rope them into this b/s fued. The Ron & Fez militia should be called to arms & attack!

Don & Mike admitted they won't last much longer in NY - ratings are that low - but to blame O&A for black balling them is just pathetic.
Simply, the D&M show isn't funny. I can't recall ever laughing out loud while listening to them.
Anyway, can't wait to hear O&A/R&F rip the shit out of them. Should be entertaining radio to say the least.

Don & Mike blow. I listen to them everyday and everyday they suck. Ron & Fez have the best show on WNEW. O & A are great, but R&F are even better. They don't kiss O&A's ass like Don said, they just know what it's like to be entertaining and comical. <P>

Ron and Fez aren't a threat to O and A the same way O and A aren't a threat to Stern. DIFFERENT TIME SLOTS!! Ron and Fez care about their show and that's it. They don't waste their time bashing other shows because they honestly don't care. As far as O and A go, O and A are now #1 in DC. After a MAJOR upswing from 17th. They did what Don and Mike couldn't do In New York, and that's whay burns them up. Don and Mike's ratings have been crap from day one and after well over a year they haven't done a damn thing. They can't say that it's placing because they started out with Ron and Fez's 7-11 spot and look at how well Ron and Fez are doing. Management got rid of at least one show that looked like they had a sign of life to make room for Don and Mike's abomination of a show and they haven't shown the slightest bit of heat. The reality of it is that they may be syndicated all over the country but they can't hang with the big boys. Don and Mike believed their own hype and in the end reality proved to be the harshest of mistresses.

Do you all even listen to what was said or do you just hear what you want and make up the rest.
1. O&A are not #1 in D.C. they are #8, they may have had a #1 rating in one area but are not #1 overall in D.C.
2. Don and Mike did not insult Ron and Fez in the least only said that they were not a threat to O&A which is true. R&F are on in a different time slot and have the full support of the O&A show, but not once did they criticize R&F. And to say that R&F do not take shots at D&M is completely false, i have heard at least 3 subtle shots at D&M this week alone.
and to be honest D&M are right any long time listener to the show would know that they usually dont back down to these situations but i can say that when they switched they ceased taking any shots at O&A for 8 months even though O&A repeatedly took shots at them. and they have now had enough.
Bottom Line: if you all dont like them then why do you listen, its always the same people who dont like something about one show or another. SO dont listen, and more importantly why are you talking about these thingswith D&M and O&A on the Ron and Fez message board. Why try to stir trouble, everyone understands that you guys dont like D&M but to constatnly obsess about it is absurd. D&M are honest about their ratings in N.Y. and that they arent doing well and that they have had the same rating for the last 3 books. Get used to it Don and Mike are staying in N.Y. they arent going anywhere so dont listen if you dont like but my god do something else with your life other then complain about one radio show its really really pathetic

I honeslty Cant wait to hear what Ron and Fez have to say about this one, PanterA is so right, alol DOn and Mike want is to be at the cool table! I dont understand how Don and Mike could even go there bashing R&F when all they did was give them props, not a bad word out of there mouths about D&M

...next to never trash anyone, they don't even yell at callers for being dumbasses.
What about "stupid girl"? I've heard that used more then a few times in an entire show. =P
Anyway...I listened to D&M a year or so ago, and I admit, I thought they were kind of funny for a little while, but then all I could really stomach was the news with Buzz, but now the whole show has gotten annoying. Same thing over and over again. Yelling at callers and doing the same bits. I can't listen to the show anymore. I love both R&F and O&A, and, although not having heard this tirade, it's a major insult to say what they did about R&F. Every time someone tries to bash D&M on the show they're hung up on...R&F don't deserve trash talk from them. They defend them. D&M are obviously jealous and desperate for ratings. Time to start up a radio feud. How lame.

05-23-2002, 11:43 AM
Yeah, but "Stupid Girl" IS for stupid girls...other than that, R&F welcome seemingly all callers...look how may callers and board posters have ended up in studio! That's my biggest problem with Don over the last few years, in that he seems to hate, HATE the callers, ignoring the fact that the callers are the listeners, and if you INSULT the listeners YOU HAVE NO LISTENERS. O&A are dead right, Don seems to hate his job, and it shows up on air...it's so goddamn clear that Don is just in it for the damn money...

God almighty I was dying laughing in my car when O and A were going off on Don and Mike. And Opie is right...O and A didnt call there show trying to justify ratings. And Don did stop short when Opie asked about being number one in the demorgraph they were hired for. I remember the chick did sooooo much better and was funnier than Don and Mike...I think that is what really gets under there skin. Ron and Fez and O and A are funny. Don and Mike arent...they brought in Leia to try and bail out that show...Isnt bringing in a third character a sign that a show has "jumped the shark"??

I hear Don and Mike because I have not choice. They are not funny and so self serving it SUCKS. No wonder Mike's wife left him. Sound familiar? They wish they had they ability to have and AFRO show connection that O and A and Ron and Fez do. The four guys together have had one of the funniest shows I have heard. Don saying that they have been good about not trashing any other show is bull. They constant make digs at Fez. It must suck when you claim to be number one in alot of markets but cannot even come close when you are on a real market huh Don and Mike? Seems you guys can't handle the number one market? <P> Ron and Fez are getting stronger and stronger. Its not their fault WNEW moved them around so much in the time slots. Given time they can be a huge force in the NY Market.
Ron and Fez are genuinely funny and make it all seem so easy. They always seem to be having fun and make everyone at ease. Don and Mike make it sound like it is a chore for them and talking to listeners is something they have to put up with.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't O&A, unsolicited, send strippers into the other studio when D&M first came up to do a broadcast from the NEW studios when they were still on nights? Seems pretty friendly to me. <P>

Time is a flowing river, and History repeats itself.
It's come to my attention that every few months, there is a post on the message board due to things said in disgust against R&F from Don and Mike. Now seriously, this has just go to stop. I don't enjoy Don and Mike like everyone else due to their disrespect for callers, inside-jokes, and point and laugh approach the have for their fellow employees. But I'm also tired of seeing posts like these flood the message boards.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a dick who says what can't and can be on the boards. I have absolutely no right. But it does give me a headache when others are bothered by two ingrates so much, that they post about it. "There's no use in picking a scab, be cause it'll only bleed, and form a greater scab."
Don and Mike have said those thing about Ron and Fez kissing O&A's ass. This is highly untrue of course. The two shows just enjoy eachother's comical genius, and have quickly formed a bond with eachother.
Also, the call abuse on Don and Mike's show is appauling. Every other caller who has an opinion different from the two dimwitted hosts are yelled at and hung up on. Yes R&F play the stupid girl song, but only to raise comical value and put up a red flag to the caller, that they need to think before they speak.
Clearly, Don and Mike are in fact jealous of the success of the two shows in both New York, and DC's markets. They whine about the little things and have even been noted on blaming their ratings on reverb levels, saying that, "the better sound attracts listeners".
Let's all do something that will solve the problem if we really want to kick Don and Mike out of New York. Turn off your radios, and tell others to. Also, I'll be starting up a petition in the "Off-Topic" section of the board for the banishment of Don and Mike from WNEW. You can look at me as a jackass for raising this idea and method, but it's exactly what it is. A method. I just hope that the feuds will calm down, and I'd be able to listen to something more to my liking between the hours of 11am-3pm.

Correct indeed, PanterA.
WNEW IS a mess. Along with infinity, they really need to decide what the hell they want to do with both the station and the format.
We all know where the problem REALY is: the anchor for the format is on a different station. Yet Infinity is trying to sell a syndicated package to it's other markets that include Stern, D&M and O&A. But in the #1 market where 2 of the 3 are home-based, that isn't the lineup.
We can get into the whole mess that is Sport sin the morning on WNEW, "Hot Talk" on K-Rock, and Imus on a sports station.
But regardless of how things are, Infinity needs to figure out how to fix it. It won't look good to these other potential markets if D&M are dropped. sure, we'd all like to see it, but it's just not practical.
Infinity has to re-evaluate their TARGET DEMO. I'm an 8 hour WNEW listener. I'm 26. Many on this board fall into this basic category. But D&M don't exacty fit the EXACT demo that O&A and R&F are targeted for...and succeeding in.
There are alot of dream scenarios that could fix the station, like moving Stern to WNEW, Ferrell to 'FAN, etc. Many hav ementioned bringing music to WNEW for slots outside of O&A and R&F.
But I think there are only(2) real ways to fix the station:
1) Re-evaluate the demo. Perhaps they should make a pure shift from the current goal to a more general one. I've mentioned Imus moving to WNEW. The switch from Imus to D&M is gradual, as is D&M to O&A/R&F. Even if it wasn't Imus, the point remains: maybe WNEW could get early daypart shows that are aimed at a slightly more highbrow listener...be it political talk or a show similar to the old Rocky Allen show.
2) Regardless of what people would like to see happen or what COULD REALLY happen, there is a nother way to RAISE everyones ratings: ADVERTISE . There are billboards and TV commercials for KROCK, WFAN and WCBS-FM. WNEW had a WOW board in times square for 2 weeks, wow stickers, and R&F bathroom stickers. Dasit. Maybe more people would listen is they knew the staiton even existed.
Long winded? Of course. But I thought I'd do something to keep the topic legit.

I've honestly given them the old college try, they pride themselves on conflict, and brag about how it's great radio, and that people can't get enough of it. One day on the way home from school I tuned into some incident between the dickier guy,(I cant tell them apart) and then they kiss and make up, if that bitch has any sense in her she'll leave and go back to making oil commercials.

Now I'm from D.C., so I love the city. I'm not looking to get into a "which city is better" pissing contest.
However, I have to acknowledge one fact - D.C. is a smaller market than NYC, and thus is less important where it counts - advertising dollars. I say all of this only to point out how utterly fucking stupid it was for Don Geronimo to come on O&A's show and go "You're 14th in D.C.!". WHO CARES. Yeah, 14th in D.C., #1 where it counts in NYC. You tell me which is more important.
Oh, and to knowledged one: If you live here in the D.C. area, you should know how badly R&F are treated, what with the editing / butchering of their taped delay show, to the constant insults on the D&M show. Trust me, D&M have given it to R&F worse than they've taken it.

I dunno, I listen to all of the shows on WNEW (even Ferrall on occasion) and like all of them. I don't really care for all the intra-station squabbling.. I like to think of all the radio shows getting along in my imaginary radio station in my mind, but it's not really important. I'd prefer it if the shows barely mentioned one another. You don't hear "Friends" badmouthing "ER." True, it's a different media, but the goal is the same. All that stuff would be better left behind the scenes.

Yep. Don't forget the fact that it was only recently that WJFK even mentioned the fact that R&F are on the air. They started airing "snippets" of their shows like they do for Stern, D&M, O&A, and The Sports Junkies but they still don't mention them when they play spots that name all the shows.
And as far as the insults of R&F go: what did I miss? I only occasionally heard them imitate Fez's voice.

Infinity has become the WWE. Stern hates Imus and O&A, Imus hates Stern, "Point Nine"(D&M) hate everyone. Ron and Fez just do their show, it truly is a peaceful reef.
The "ass kissing" remark was dumb, but "Point Nine" are desperate, and they probably hope that this "spat" gets some press and attention. God knows they need it.

Don and mike are terrible. To tell you the truth, This is the only way they'll get ratings is attacking o&a. I haven't listened to them ever for a while because there are better shows on the radio. NPR is more entertaining than Don and Mike...oh wait, that's too kind, I'D RATHER LISTEN TO Z-100. That show is radio non hodgekins lymphoma( sorry cancer girl) and death to the ears.
But you know what? I think that I'll tune in tomorrow.

Yeah, that bitch Shelly wade is more enjoyable to listen than Leah from the king of queens.
WNEW should be music (a harder rock edge than K rock) and AFRO. That's it.
Of course Mel K. is clueless as fuck.

#1. Bottom Line: if you all dont like them then why do you listen,
We don't. That's why Don and Mike can only pull a .8. #2DONG AND MUCK
As bad if not worse than Dopie and Unfunny. #3.Do you all even listen to what was said or do you just hear what you want and make up the rest.
We're gonna take a tip from Don and Mike fans and make it up as we go along. What all Don and Mike fans are failing to accept is that Don and Mike's inability to perform started this. They couldn't get the job done. The reality of it is that if you're entertaining and funny no shots from Opie and Anthony will damage you to the point where NO ONE will listen to you. Just ask the Radio Chick. Her show was and is (despite frigging lame assed classic rock songs and Buchmans almost inability to be funny)
funny and entertaining. Don and Mike can whine and complain all they want to but the reality of it is that they couldn't do the job. Opie and Anthony did what they were paid to do. 8th place overall? Okay. But who gives a crap as long as they perform in the demo that they were hired to. Don and Mike couldn't even get the invalid retard who only knows the numbers 1,0,2, and 7 demo. Don and Mike are mad because Opie and Anthony get the job done and they couldn't. Don and Mike are mad because Ron and Fez get the job done and they couldn't. Don and Mike are mad because the frigging RADIO CHICK was able to get the job done and they couldn't. That my friends is fact. And to any Don and Mike fan who read this: If you only knew how LITTLE Ron and Fez cared about, or even THOUGHT about Don and Mike it would frighten you. Here's your daily dose of reality: Don and Mike mean about as much to Ron and Fez as a cupful of cold piss.
Oh and please leave Leah Remini alone. Take a look at her layout in Stuff and you'll understand why I say this.

I heard the entire rant by the faggots. I was giving them like the 10th try. I WANT to like them, bacause I like every other show on WNEW except them. And I was just thinking to myself "well, they're better then what's on TV in the middle of the day, so I'll leave them on."
Then they attack O&A and have that little jab at Ron and Fez? That was it. I will not evern tune into their show to hear the anti O&A stuff to ready me for the anti Don and Mike stuff on O&A. As far as I'm concerened, they 100% turned me off to them with that little baby attack, and they are dead to me. I say, the next time they're going to be in NY, we all go there and attack them outside the studio.
FUCK YOU DON AND MIKE! You're on the way down, and you're bitter. Please die.

I was just listenening to Don and Mike(yeah, please kick me in the balls) and they were talking about how all their fans should call up the O&A show and "terrorize" the show. and make them "use the dump button until their fingers bleed."
so my idea was that a bunch of people call up Don&Mike and talk about how much they suck and what a bunch of a-holes they are.

If it like anything of the calls that supported don and mike in the past O&A have no problems. The O&A army and the ron and fez militia should strike back now at those 2 a-hole from DC.

They did just that though...got you to listen to hear there tirade. This is the only way to get a spike in the ratings, yet when this whole thing cools off they will be the ones hurt by it. I like how they replayed themselves calling O &A, yet left out the part where Opie asked him "Are we number one in the key demographics?" To which Don had nothing to say...tools they are, as Yoda would say. They also tried to make fun of Ant's dice impersonnation and sounded like the greaseman...

The best O&A response is to ignore them. You should only fight the show ahead you in the ratings, not someone with a .8.

All I know is I'm calling D&M the next week to counter all this anti-WNEW horseshit...I got through once or twice a little over a year ago with my anti-Frieda bit, where I'd just yell out, "HEY DON! I've got Frieda right here!" and then blast a Godzilla sound clip over the phone...after that, they'd never let me on the air...not screening calls my ASS. But on the other hand, I think it would be cool if the O&A and R&F listeners DIDN'T bring up D&M when they called those two shows...those two fat has-beens don't even deserve that attention.

I just remembered something that was hilarious about the Don and Mike tirade on Friday. It was in response to the charge that O and A make people divert there eyes from them when they are in the hallways. Know who D&M's source was for this accusation?? Carol Miller!!! When I heard them say that I knew then and there that they classified themselves as tools...
