A Howard Stern fan approached Opie & Anthony during the XM "Walk Over" on today's show. The Stern fan first came up to the microphone and said, "This is Opie and Anthony's whole audience here? I just wanna say, uhm, Howard Stern has a huge cock and I love him."
The Stern fan then continued and was allowed to say his anti-O&A/pro-Stern comments on the air (calling O&A "douchebags"). There was some back and forth - where the unnamed Stern fan claimed Opie & Anthony steal "a lot shit [from Stern]" - Anthony responded with "steal a lot of shit? Yeah, like his radio stations!"
At that point the Stern fan then threw Ben Sparks against a wall and was subdued by "Club Soda Kenny" and "Master Po" who pinned the Stern fan down and made him apologize on air. His alleged reason for the attack was that Ben Sparks (Opie & Anthony's Producer) spit on him. He was held until the NYPD came.
"Alright, that worked out well... that was the best walk yet!" Anthony said afterwards.
The whole incident was caught on video, but as far as we know all video is in the hands of the NYPD pending investigation.
Listen to audio of the Walk Over incident (MP3)
FMQB is reporting that audio of the incident will not be rebroadcast during XM's replay of the show. This probably also means it will not be available on Audible either. Confirmed - the audio is not on the Audible version either.
Thanks to Scott B for sending in the photo!

Undoubtedly, a proud moment for 'Stern Nation'.
I thought O&A were just stern-clones that were failing? I guess some Stern fans will do anything to keep their aging god in the news. Hope you like the jail loser.
yeah... Because anything a listerner does is transposed to everyone else by association.
Eh. Whatever. It was probably Sticker Boy Ramone trying to make Stern look bad.
Seriously, though, it sounds like some random idiot who was prodded into taking a swing. If someone spit on me, I'd try to slug him as well. Still no excuse, but the guy sounds like a moron.
RAMONE! Get that misguided fan a 400lb cellmate with a herpes outbreak and a taste for blood & Hershey chocolate!!
o&a have their "pests", and now it looks like a stern fan decided to give them a taste of their own medicine.
its ok for o&a fans to meet stern in the morning at sirius studios and yell at him and his crew, but its not cool for a stern fan to approach o&a? ben sparks spit on him. ben sparks is the one who stepped over bounds here people, not the stern fan! ben got what he deserved. club soda kenny and master po should face assault charges. i hope they get what they deserve.
man im glad i dont have to pay $13 a month to listen to those losers!
The producer didn't spit on anyone - the Stern fan was made to look like an idiot, and started making up excuses for his physical assault Ben Sparks once he was on the ground.
The 'steal his radio stations' line had everyone around the guy started laughing, and apparently it sent him over the edge. That's when he grabbed Sparks by the lapels of his jacket & Master Po proceeded to immobilize him.
>> Because anything a listerner does is transposed to everyone else by association.
Yeah, you guys obviously live by that rule in light of all of your remarks to 'Ramone' & the cracks about the fat, virginal O&A 'listerners' in general...
::rolleyes::
edit: "The 'steal his radio stations' line had everyone around the guy laughing,"
Hoo hoo, I invented radio pests.
"...fat, virginal O&A 'listerners' in general"
Who am I to argue with the facts?
And you forgot "desperate"...
::rolleyes::
>> And you forgot "desperate"... >>
Certainly not desperate for a live radio show on Fridays! ;-)
I think someone needs to hand Anthony a dictionary open to the definition of the word "steal" on the next walk over.
Just wanted to point out that as written, this is saying CSK and Po were apologizing, not the Stern zombie.
Thanks Jim, good catch. I corrected the wording.
This just proves that O & A are failing.
To the idot who said that it is ok to pester Hoo Hoo at letterman but this is not ok... DUH! No one attacked anyone at those events. This guy went too far and it only shows the frustration of the Stern Fans.
What we do know is at 9am this 'fan' wasn't listening to Stern... Even if he wanted to Sirius doesn't have a live to go radio, so some fan he is eh?
"Yeah, you guys obviously live by that rule in light of all of your remarks to 'Ramone' & the cracks about the fat, virginal O&A 'listerners' in general... "
I'm sorry. Which remarks are you referring to that I made about ramone or the other O&A fans? Should I wait, or are you just going to ignore your stupid statement all together and hush up?
Do they really BELIEVE they stole Stern's stations or is that just a retarded free radio bit.
/rhetorical
>> Should I wait, or are you just going to ignore your stupid statement all together and hush up? >>
See every thread about O&A on this site, ever.
And I said 'you guys', as in a few of the Stern fans- in general- like to classify O&A 'listerners' as being 300-pound virgins who have no other business but to attend 'sticker stops'. Personally I've never been to a sticker stop, I don't own any O&A paraphernalia, and I'm pretty far from being 300 pounds *or* a virgin.
And I just happened to pull a quote out of *your* post, so no need to blow a gasket there, Shim.
P.S. Ok, the 'failures' gag is getting old, btw. We GET it.
>> Do they really BELIEVE they stole Stern's stations or is that just a retarded free radio bit. >>
It was a joke made in response to the attacker's claim that O&A 'steal' Stern's bits.
End of story, so let's move on now, 'Larry Literal'.
It's not any better when Stern fans do it really.
--D
Don't say "you guys" when you quote "me". That implies you are talking to me about my comment.
In fact, if you had read my comment without O&A colored glasses, you'd realize I was saying it about all drones, not just the ones you hold hands with.
>> In fact, if you had read my comment without O&A colored glasses, you'd realize I was saying it about all drones >>
Your quote was as follows, in its *enteriety*:
"yeah... Because anything a listerner does is transposed to everyone else by association."
So now I'm some sort of mind reader to know you're talking about every show OTHER than O&A?
>> , not just the ones you hold hands with. >>
Oh, I get it - a gay joke. How clever of you!
Wow, great photo Ryan - although any media (photos, vids, etc.) related to the incident have been banned from O&A's fan site because the police are now apparently involved.
More to come, I suppose. I could see a scenario where this weenie sues the show on some sort of 'unnecessary force' charge, and causes XM to end the 'Walk Over' bit as a result.
Bottom line, OnA let this guy run his mouth (which basically all of their pests do), then made him look like a bloody fool. When the guy realized how stupid he was, that's when everything ignited. Listen to the audio clip of the whole scene.
Furthermore, it's not likely that Ben spit on the guy (not saying that it isn't possible). The Stern fan knew he dropped the ball and wanted to take someone down with him, so he picked on the tall baby with the cocaine addition.
RAMONE!!! Master Po should be the next Texas Walker Ranger..
True enough: They've taken over those stations fair and square.
"Personally I've never been to a sticker stop, I don't own any O&A paraphernalia, and I'm pretty far from being 300 pounds *or* a virgin."
Then you're clearly not a true-blue O/A fan, are you?
:)
"P.S. Ok, the 'failures' gag is getting old, btw. We GET it."
it is not our Gag... it was your boy Howie who called them a failure in regards to the CBS deal.
>> Then you're clearly not a true-blue O/A fan, are you? >>
True, yes. 'Blue'? Nope! ;-)
As a lawyer, (and this doesn't constitute legal advice, it's merely a response to a hypothetical from Pete), if there's evidence the guy really did pin Ben to the wall, and Club Soda Kenny/Master Po can honestly testify that they anticipated the Stern fan to cause further harm to anyone else in the group (employees or OnA fans), then they are justified in pinning the guy to the ground. There can't be a successful claim for battery based on the unnecessary use of force as the guy pinned Ben to a wall using his hands/body weight (no weapons). Po and Kenny used their hands to pin the guy down with their hands/body weight. It corresponds.
Stern fans are so out of touch with reality it is kind of weird what they say and do.
what's with all the "BAN HIM" posts on this board.. is this st*rnfannetwork?
"what's with all the "BAN HIM" posts on this board.. is this st*rnfannetwork?"
Hey Sticker Boy Ramone. Already trying to come up with a new name?
>> it is not our Gag... it was your boy Howie who called them a failure in regards to the CBS deal. >>
Howie's not 'my boy' - I'm just an O&A fan who's tired of hearing the 'failure' bit.
>> There can't be a successful claim for battery based on the unnecessary use of force as the guy pinned Ben to a wall using his hands/body weight (no weapons). Po and Kenny used their hands to pin the guy down with their hands/body weight. It corresponds. >>
Interesting - thanks for the enlightenment, HL...
o&a have their "pests", and now it looks like a stern fan decided to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Some medicine...getting your ass handed to you on the radio. And they were giving him a platform.
Now, if Ben did spit on this guy, that was obviously wrong. At the same time, you can't just throw people against the wall....more importantly, Po and CSK are there for a reason. That's what I say...
This is just some idiot who has no self control. When he was trying to bash Opie and Anthony, they let him talk. If he just walked away, it would have been a funny bit that both radio shows could use. But the guy has to be an asshole and he got what he deserved. If a pest tried to grab Gary Dellabate, that pest should get his ass kicked too
"its ok for o&a fans to meet stern in the morning at sirius studios and yell at him and his crew, but its not cool for a stern fan to approach o&a?"
Has any O&A fan ever assaulted a member of Howards staff?
didn't O&A do a bit a while back about random liquid (A/C condensation water, etc.) falling on you randomly as you walk down the street in NYC? wouldn't it be ironic if it was something like that that hit the guy in the back and made him think ben spit on him?
apologies for being a redundant douche and using two forms of "random" in my previous post.
Ask anyone who listens to the show - Ben *freaks* out over this kind of stuff. He's always as far away as possible from any sort of controversy, and is usually the one who attempts to smooth everything over. There's NO way he would have instigated an incident such as this.
The Stern fan *may* have been spit on, but it wasn't Sparks. I guarantee Ben just happened to be the closest person to the guy and was probably laughing hysterically in his usual fashion- which would understandably annoy the sh*t out of someone to the point of wanting to wrap their hands around his throat.
"Dude dude Tom BraaAAAAKKKKGGHHHHHH....rlll...dude dude...GACKParento....coke....dude....zzz.."
;-)
That guy hit the big "press your luck" whammy. hah
I'm sorry sir!
"...I just wanna say, uhm, Howard Stern has a huge cock..."
And now that I think about it, this stinks of a publicity stunt. Any true fan knows Howard has a tiny johnson.
Nice plant. How pathetic!
How could Ben hit anyone with spit with herky jerky aim?
Both you Howard and WOW fans are such idiots. It's obviously a set up for a bit to get more publicity.
Sounds like a lame bit. Kinda surprising that in the city with probably the biggest concentration of media outlets in the world, there's very little mention of this except in a couple of fan boards.
That guy hit the big "press your luck" whammy. hah
Bum, bum, bum, bum....
You LOSE!! Good DAY, sir!
And here I thought that the phrase "radio war" was all hyperbole...
This is such an obvious and quite honestly, PATHETIC, plant - any attempt at *press* is good press, right douchbags?
You can't steal something that has been given away freely.
I have to say anyone who thinks this was a setup should take another look at the picture. Po is about ready to snap his neck. Also why in the world would the pull it from the replay if it was a setup? It sounds like some of the stern zombies are ambarassed by this idiot!
O&A were just bustin' the Stern fan's balls here and already he got fuckin' fresh! Somebody needs to teach him some fuckin' manners! Now go home and get your fuckin' shine box!
This proves the difference between O&A and Hoo Hoo. Hoo Hoo would've never ever let this tool keep spewing his anti rants towards him live on the air, whereas O&A let him chirp and turn it into radio gold. Once the faggot had the tables turned by Ant on him he snapped and went after Ben, and Po and Kenny did what they are paid to do. Big difference all you zombies, O&A aren't pussies like Stern, they let the haters speak. The other difference is the pests don't attack anyone associated with Stern physically, but this isn't the first time a Stern Zombie has been arrested for physical and verbal threats.
My neighbor attended the walk Over and he tells me in no way did Ben spit on the man. He was just pissed because of Ben's cackle after the "steals his stations" line.
This schmuck fell to the ground almost as fast as Stern's listening audience numbers.
Stern is DONE.
See... if Howie hadn't stopped broadcasting on Fridays, this would never have happened... so sad...
Let's just drop this whole thing. Stern is just gonna use it for publicity.
I do believe "How's that feel, fucker?" is now the new "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Po should have killed the guy. I can see the headlines now:
"Stern continues to lose fans to O&A"
-WF
That Stern fan pussy apologized like a little girl.
And what's the deal with Stern fans bragging about Howard having a huge cock. That Stern zombie was obviously a sh**dick.
Do you dopey opie fans really think being back on free radio is a move up???? CBS brought them on free FM to get to Stern.
Stern wishes them luck.. Friday shows are live and Stern is on many Fridays and streaming on the net not to mention 20 yrs uncensored tapes for 2 mill.. Have fun with all the free content and Im sure some new fines.. What is it now, $325,000.00??? Thanks GWB best thing you've done in yrs!!!!!!
Didn't they mean to say that they stole D.L.R.s stations
In response to the FAGGETS on sternfannetwork thinking this was set up for publicity by O&A........ like this idiot named "TLD" said
"I dont know man, they shoved that mic in the guys face for what reason??? They seem to be trying lots of diffenent things right now to get attention."
OnA always allow people that dont like or get the show the forum to speak their minds. Every caller gets to speak their mind every time. Idiots.
"He didn't spit on you, he can't even work up the saliva with all the cocaine he does."
Anthony comes through with the funny!
XM would have to be out of their minds to cancel The Walk Over now.
This stuff is pure gold.
anyone else ever notice that topics on various Non opie and anthony message boards usually have the highest post count?
I wanted to see master po freak out!
I wanted to see master po freak out!
Did ya?
None of this proves anything. Wow a stern fan attacked ovary and anal. they disserved it. he probably felt sold out because he bought xm to have EXCLUSIVE o&a content and snapped when the little fags went to cbs. he's now a stern 'zombie'. and now the conspiracies start. for fucks sakes everyone.
Ovary and Anal? THAT'S as "clever" as you can get, you wanna-be-Howie's-cumdumpster?
Wow, the "witty" show names just destroy us... you know, the way your sole representative got destroyed verbally, mentally, and physically on today's show.
I have seen the video. No it is not out in general circulation but someone that was on the walk played for some fans.
1. No one spit on the guy
2. no way in hell was this a stunt, plant, blah blah blah stop it you look the fool to claim it
3. The force used was called for, the guy was simply taken down to a sitting/kneeling position, had his hands cleared (he was holding newspaper and something else in the other hand), was quickly checked for weapons, then told to calm down and he would be let go.

You Stern Fans are brainwashed into believing anything that tool says. You're right CBS paid Opie and Anthony Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars if not Millions to get stern pissed you're right. It's all about Hoo Hoo Howie. Try They Got O&A cause they have PROVEN SUCCESS. And to answer the second part of that moronic statement, Thats the point of still having XM so they can do clean humor in the first half and they can vent about shit on the XM show. You still hear all the curses on XM even when they dump on Free FM cause its simulcast, fucktard.
O&A are idiots.....Stern Left KROQ...they didnt take it from him.
The guy was a complete idiot. Opie And Anthony let the guy speak his piece. When he had nothing left, he pushed someone into a wall. Did you ever find yourself in a situation when your really pissed off, and you have nothing?? Well, he was eyeing a poster to destroy, and instead attacked someone!! Stern fans should be embarassed of this situation, and just not address it. The guy was an IDIOT. Plain and simple.
did you bother to even listen to the audio before posting your asinine remarks? the dope spouted the same "O&A only have [insert small number here] of fans" and "O&A steal a lot from Howard" lines that Howard and his brainwashed zombies keep spewing. he also said "Howard Stern has a huge cock, and I love him." so yes, that qualifies him as a "Stern zombie." so stop pretending it wasn't a Stern zombie. we know the dopes at Stern Zombie Network are looking for ways to spin this so it doesn't reflect badly on them. the audio puts to shame any spin you try to give it.
if anyone "disserved it," it's him. he wanted O&A's attention so badly by shouting out for them, so they give it to him. but when things weren't going the way he wanted them to, he attacked one of their producers. if that's not "disserving" to have your face jammed into the pavement like a gay guy's face being jammed into a couch, then i don't know what is. he put himself in that position. if he didn't want to make himself susceptible to ridicule, he wouldn't have been shouting stuff out to antagonize O&A and he sure as hell wouldn't have came up to the mic.
and it's spelled "deserve," you idiot.
You Stern Fans are brainwashed into believing anything that tool says
Funny thing, That "tool" never talks about dopey and clan, might give them 2-3 minutes when they are in the news but thats it. Dopier oprah gets more attention from Stern.. I watched your boys do that interview a couple weeks ago, Richard Dryffuss was the big star they mention...Now that has to be great radio???
You get Dryfuss we get the Dixie chicks talking about not wearing underwear, sex toys and wet spots. We get Ozzy and his old lady, best interview I think Ive ever heard from them.
Cmon, the best your boys put out is a second rate morning zoo.. It's funny how you "pests" work so hard for attention with anything concerning Howard
Stern. You'll always be second rate!! Gather your chump change kids $325,000 comming soon if not some pics of sex in St Patricks on sexinstpatricks.com A new up and comming o-a fan site...WOW
Serves Sterns fans right...he deserved it.....now if you will excuse me....I have to brush this seaweed out of my hair.......
can i ask someone a question? this isn't even a debate on which show is better. I'm the odd one, that listen's to both shows. And most of the time, I find Opie And Anthony more entertaining than a girl fucking a machine. Or howard having to basically center his radio program around his cable show. That's when i tune into O&A. The conversations are great, the antics are cringe, and its something totally different. Howard is more on the lines of a shock jock with what he says, and the sex antics. Opie And Anthony are more cringe radio. They do things you just can't believe. You want to turn it off sometimes, but you just can't. That's the difference. Now, without that being said. THIS FAN WAS AN ASSHOLE!!!! HOWARD IF YOUR OUT THERE, DON'T EVEN ADDRESS IT.. O&A MOVE ON AS WELL. AND DON'T LET XM TAKE OVER THE WALKOVER SEGMENT. :) And i will say this offically, I have canceled my sirius subscription, my howard on demand, and now i'm with opie and anthony! Plus I get Ron, and Fez now too. Sorry, but looks like howard's days are over. If i want porn, i'll watch PORN. If i want conversation, and i want to laugh, i'll listen to opie and anthony. I was so excited about the revolution of sirius. I joined up, way before howard was even up and running. It came, and it SUCKS. I know he just got his tapes back, and classic stern would be great. But I'M NOT LIVING IN THE PAST! I'm moving on! Raaaamone get me an xm unit, because this sirius radio has aids!
well i drove past the whole incident in my hybrid..looked like the whole thing was scripted..ummmok teriffic
How about: Ministry (telling the craziest story I've ever heard), Sunset Thomas and several hot ladies fucking themselves with Drilldos this past week. Not to mention the fact that when they don't a guest they are actually funny and entertaining, unlike that washed up plastic drama fag.
Hoohoo. Uh, Robin where's my daughter...
Keep talking out of your ass NDK and prove O&A fans correct when they call you a Stern "zombie."
We had Ozzy last year in studio shooting the shit with the boys and the ultimate Sabbath fan: James Nordon. I'm sure Stern's interview was anywhere near as interesting or personable, right? I mean we all know Stern is a huge Sabbath fan with a ridiculously in depth knowledge of the band, right?
And yes Richard Dreyfuss is incredibly better radio than listening to a bunch of brain dead cumdumpsters (i.e. "The Dixie Chicks") talk about whether or not they're wearing underwear.
Not only is Dreyfuss actually a radio guy, thus making for a very entertaining interview, but apparently he's also funny, quite intelligent, and not even remotely afraid to trade edgy jabs back and forth. Oh yeah and a bit bigger and more versed in that lil industry called Hollywood.
I'm sure the Dixie Chicks would endure being called cunts to their faces without being offended, right?
Yech.
The very fact that you try to compare an interview of a great actor like Dreyfuss with one with some group as inconsequential to their field as the Dixie Chicks speaks volumes about your intelligence level and attention span.
Go back to listening to your shitty, boring radio show and leave the discussion to the big boys. That way when you feel the need to defecate onto Orbitcast some more, we don't have to read it.
THE REVOLUTION IS OVER!!! Was that all of howards audience? O&A 5 Hoo Hoo 1
"This proves the difference between O&A and Hoo Hoo.

Can anyone say high pitched eric
"You get Dryfuss we get the Dixie chicks talking about not wearing underwear, sex toys and wet spots. We get Ozzy and his old lady, best interview I think Ive ever heard from them."
Sir just so you are aware of it Ozzy has done O&A several times and who gives a fuck about the dixi bitches
"Gather your chump change kids $325,000 comming soon if not some pics of sex in St Patricks on sexinstpatricks.com A new up and comming o-a fan site...WOW"
What are you saying?
i think this weak shit is a setup, but even if it isnt that doesnt say anything bad about stern. Some guy who is a fan of howard got choked by security guards. who gives a fat shit. opie and anthony fans are delusional. you know the girls worship stern, thats why they cant do a whole show without mentioning him. OnA will never beat stern, it isnt possible at this point. No radio personality will ever have as much an impact, or have a more impressive career than him. OnA are in that group along with Mancow or bubba or the worst radio show ever, Ron&Fez. Those two really suck alot of penis.
And pests dont you think its a little hypocritical to call stern fans zombies. you douchie losers are the definition of mindless zombies. you cocksmokers.
Dont you guys feel pretty screwed over now that 3/5 of the show is on regular radio now. what a fuckin joke that is.
OnA are obsessed with howard. Plain and simple. XM Sucks ass. howard and sirius are the shit. fuck all you losers who devote your lives to a shit radio show.
Wow...this debate is boring...
"...sex in St Patricks.."
That's a GREAT idea!!! O/A should definitely jump on that!
what about hoo hoo's run in with a bum, and beth. where he jumped in a cop car, pointed out the guy, and saved the day.. Yea, he didn't try to get the press involved right away. And he didn't even let beth into the cab first, he went in. What a man. Can't wait for the day, she leaves him. But remember in the end, "its all about alison" ~hoo hoo
