Today on D+M they mentioned RnF ass kissing O&A... and I would like to respond to this in and why exactly O&A see Rnf as non threatening.
(plus I am bored at work and have time to write this)
A while back when O&A were battling with the Radio Chick and D+M, Opie made a very clear statement on why he does not have a problem with RnF.
it was a while ago, so please forgive some of the inaccuracies, but here is what I remember
Opie said that in an all talk format MANY of the same topics will be discussed throughout the day. Any type of major news (ex: Chandra Levy) will be dicussed and made into a bit on each and every show (and including Stern on K-Rock)
So it makes it difficult to do fresh, original bits when EVERYOne is doing it.
Opie made it very clear he felt the Radio Chick and D+M were very similar in the way they handled current event bits... which isn't good for the station... who wants to hear the same S for 12 hours???
He made it a point to say RnF were differnet. The way they handle these types of stories was very unique from O&A's style.
Basicly saying a RnF bit on a current event topic is much different than O&A's and most importantly STILL VERY FUNNY!!!!
Opie suggested that D+M and the Radio Chicks bits were just watered down versions of what they were doing... and therefore did not fit the station.
O&A respect RnF... and have since there Dot.com days. They appreciate there style, how they run there show, and there experience in the radio business. That is why they are more than happy to go on there show and welcome them into theres. They recognize the comedic talents of RnF.
D+M are two fat jealous pigs that will never have the talent or the true comedic sense RnF have or O&A have.
And that is my take on D+M cheap shots on the boys.

There is nothing more exhilerating than pointing out the shortcomings of others, is there?
