Once upon a time, there was a radio duo named Opie and Anthony.

These two schmucks had a somewhat popular radio show that practically was a knock-off of Howard Stern, except that it wasn't what Howard was, and that was funny. Of course, O&A worked at classic rocker WNEW while Howard was at K-Rock, both CBS O&Os.

Then, O&A crossed the line. During a contest called "Sex For Sam's", two idiot listeners had sex in a Catholic church confession booth and it was broadcast live. The station was slammed with a massive FCC fine and Catholics were pissed. As a result, O&A, WNEW's GM and PD were all canned. Because of all this, the duo ended up going to XM where they were free to offend everybody they wanted to.

Then came that glorious day known as 1.9.06 when Howard Stern moved his radio show to Sirius. Meanwhile, O&A proved to all that their XM gig was worthless when they were re-hired by CBS because without Howard, they were nothing. Even that experiment proved to fail.

In 2014, SiriusXM fired Anthony Cumia because of a racist rant on Twitter when a black woman kicked his ass. A year later, he was charged with beating the shit out of his 26-year-old girlfriend. Since then, O&A haven't talked a whole lot and Opie has been stuck doing his show solo.

Now, the once-proud Opie Channel on SiriusXM has a new name: Faction Talk. The channel is a spin-off of the Faction music channel on SXM, which plays a hybrid of hard rock, punk and hip-hop. Jason Ellis, who had been hosting a show on Faction moves to the new channel.

To Opie, this has got to be embarrassing. Not to mention the fact that he's back in afternoons.

Once upon a time, O&A's army of pests would step on us Stern fans for accusing their heroes of ripping off Stern's show. Hell, one fan was nice enough to tell me that "Opie and Anthony own your soul". Oh, really?

True, Howard only works three days a week now and his show isn't what it was 20 years ago *COUGHMARCITURKCOUGH*, but better Stern over what's left of Opie. True, he had Artie Lange on his show a few months ago and it was a Stern bashfest, but bear in mind that Artie's a frickin' cokehead! No wonder why Howard buried him under the rug!

Opie: even without Anthony, he's a zero.... point.... zero.

The greatness known to us all as Drumpf never fails to amaze us.

Last week, the Commander in Chump was nice enough to sign an executive order that would go ahead and build the much-ballyhooed wall on the southern US border north of Mexico. Drumpf has said that Mexico would pay for the wall, but the country's president has rejected it. The wall is expected to cost up to $14 billion to build, so guess what Drumpf is now proposing? Forcing Americans to pay an extra 20% on goods and services made in Mexico. That means everything from cars, electronics and even avocados will go up in price by 20%.

Yes, I said avocados. If I were Qdoba, I'd be fuming.

Of course, Drumpf was nice enough to sign another order banning certain refugees from coming here to America. As a result, thousands protested outside airports such as Gerald Ford here in Grand Rapids. Of course, a federal judge issued an emergency stay on Drumpf's decision.

True story: this past Saturday, I was doing my laundry when a young man walked into my laundry room. He was a black man and I could tell that he was a refugee. The dude was very friendly and noticed that I had two loads of folded clothes that I was about to haul back. He offered to help me, but since my apartment was around the corner, I told him no thanks, but thank you anyway. A day later when WOOD-TV 8 covered the airport protests, I was almost shocked that he was interviewed.

Yes, folks, this is what Drumpf doesn't want in our country: a man who came from another nation on Earth who now calls America home, who is nice enough to carry your clothes back to your apartment when needed. But that's what happens when you have a president in the White House who wasn't even elected, but rather chosen because of a broken system that also got Dubya elected.

Meanwhile, it's expected that Betsy Devos will be elected as Education Secretary tomorrow. All the Democrats are expected to vote no on her and for good reason. As for Drumpf, his pick for Supreme Court nominee will be announced tomorrow night.

You know, Drumpf is sticking to his promises and sadly, it's turning into us vs. the world. He's done more damage in 10 days than Dubya did before 9/11. This is scary, folks. Drumpf thinks that if a healthy apple tree produces a bad apple or two, then the whole tree is bad. Yes, there's a few bad apples out there, but guess what? WE CREATED THEM! When Dubya invaded Iraq over alternative facts regarding WMDs, we went there and destroyed their otherwise normal country. Now, they hate us, hence the rebellion known as ISIS. So what's Drumpf doing? Taking a knife and stabbing the wound even more.

2020 can't come soon enough.

Name: KTTY
Age: 4
Occupation: classic hits radio staiton
Last Seen: Texarkana, TX
Bee-otched For: dethroning her Madge-esty

---
It seems that if you're a liberal and take a stand against authority, prepare to have your tunes taken from the radio.

Texarkana, TX radio station KTTY/Hits 105 announced earlier this week that they were dropping all of Madonna's songs because of comments she made at the Women's Rights march in Washington, DC. One of the comments she made was that she wanted to "blow up the White House". Station general manager Terry Thomas claims that it's unpatriotic to play an artist who makes anti-American statements and hopes that other stations will follow.

On their Facebook page, the locally-owned 60s/70s/80s classic hits station received some flak from their listeners. Meanwhile, Madonna herself has released a statement: "I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it’s important people hear and understand my speech in its entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context … the only way to change things for the better is to do it with love."

Of course, Madge is not the only artist to get banned from a radio station because of controversial remarks. In 2003, many country stations banned the Dixie Chicks after lead singer Natalie Maines told a crowd in England that they were ashamed that George W. Bush was from their home state of Texas. Of course, there have been individual songs that have been banned or heavily censored from stations as well because of content ("I Want Your Sex" by George Michael, "Me So Horny" by 2 Live Crew, "I Kissed a Girl" by Jill Sobule and "Timothy" by The Buoys all come to mind).

But what might be the true tragedy in all this is the fact that when my alarm clock went off at 4:30 am this morning, guess what 97.9 WGRD here in Grand Rapids was playing? "Torn" by Creed. Of course, lead singer Scott Stapp made headlines a few years ago when he allegedly told his family that he was out to kill President Obama. Yet, not one station has publicly yanked his music off their playlists. Same goes with Ted Nugent, who told the media "I'll either be dead or in jail by next year" in response to the 44th President. Once again, at this moment, there's a classic rock station somewhere in America spinning "Fred Bear" or "Cat Scratch Fever".

Folks, this is why radio is dying. Good people get banned for being too much on the average Joe's side, but assholes get mass amounts of airplay. Hell, I was listening to northern Michigan's Rock 105 online a few weeks ago and they were playing "Shinobi Vs. Dragon Ninja" by Lostprophets. One reason why most stations have removed them from their playlist is because lead singer Ian Watkins is serving 29 years in prison for 13 charges of sexual assault. One of those charges being that of a one-year-old girl. I'll betcha some stations are still playing Gary Glitter's "Rock 'n Roll Part 2" and he's serving a 16-year sentence for various sexual charges, including sex with a girl under 13 years old.

The point is, banning Madonna and not other artists proves how fucking stupid radio is. I say let the listener decide. If the ratings suck, you shouldn't have advertisers. No advertisers = no ad revenue and you have no choice but to flip format. Hell, I read that KTTY was silent for a period a few years ago.

Maybe it'll happen again.

Bee-otched For: thinking that what works in Ohio will work in Grand Rapids

---
Here in Grand Rapids, very few people like the Buckeyes.

The Blue Jackets, the Indians, the Browns, (with the exception of a co-worker of mine) the Cavs, the Reds and the Bengals don't have many fans around here, either.

So the question is, why in the fucking hell is classic rocker WBFX/101.3 The Brew now airing an Ohio-based morning show that's been a proven ratings disaster outside of Cleveland?

Just weeks after iHeartMedia shitcanned the popular Ken Evans for Detroit-based Mojo in the Morning on CHR WSNX 104.5 and making the whole station - sans middays - voicetracked from sister WKQI/Channel 955 Detroit, the company formerly known as Clear Channel has done it again. They are now beaming Howard Stern clone show Rover's Morning Glory out of rocker WMMS 100.7 Cleveland to The Brew, a station that's struggled with ratings since they were The Fox 15 years ago.

RMG replaces market vet LT, whose profile has been replaced on the station's website. He's worked at WLAV/96.9 and the now-defunct WKLQ where he was the racist "Nosmo King", pretty much a black stereotype.

As some of you know, Rover was one of the Stern clones CBS chose replace the KOAM as part of their ill-fated "Free FM" network ten years ago. His show aired on 97.1 Detroit to horrible numbers. Of course, the station is now sports WXYT/97.1 The Ticket with great ratings. His show is syndicated to a few other stations, reportedly to crappy numbers.

For one, I wonder why in the hell our town, which has a few indie brewers like Founder's has a station called "The Brew" which has a music mix that appeals to heroin and meth addicts. 101.3 has been classic rock for over 15 years and they've long been WLAV's bitch. With Rover's arrival in GR, all I can say is that Free Beer and Hot Wings have nothing to worry about.

iHeartMedia: $1.15 a share and sitting pretty!

Bee-otched For: digging more holes in the ground

The fireworks are sure going off in Washington.

Earlier today, Drumpf signed another executive order that would advance the controversial Keystone and Dakota Access Pipelines.  Many are protesting Drumpf's decision since President Obama already banned the Dakota Access Pipeline from being built under the Missouri River near the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, pop. 8,000. But with Drumpf's decision, it looks like those who protested at Standing Rock will be making a comeback, some time or another.

The Keystone XL Pipeline was halted by President Obama in 2015 because it went against his pro-environmental agenda. But since most of the assholes who voted for Drumpf are absolute retards whose only talent is to dig holes in the ground, that's what we got. In the end, we can kiss our planet goodbye.

Underground pipelines are a bad idea. Look at what happened in the Kalamazoo River a few years ago. Hell, look at the BP oil spill from several years ago! Some, like myself fear that the next big oil spill could be in the Straits of Mackinac where Embridge has Line 5, which was built in the 1950s and could burst at any given time. The Straits of Mackinac - which consists of Mackinaw City, St. Ignace and Mackinac Island - all live off of tourism dollars. If Line 5 bursts, all three aforementioned towns will be DEAD. The area's already-sky-high unemployment will rise even more. When the BP oil spill occurred, several shrimping companies - some well over 100 years old - were forced out of business. The same thing could happen if Line 5 bursts.

Drumpf doesn't give a damn about our environment. He wants to reduce government laws so the morons who barely graduated high school can dig holes and have our earth suffer. I predict that in the near future, he'll allow for more fracking, especially in states like Michigan. Look at Oklahoma: that state is RIDDLED with earthquakes because it is a frack-happy land. Two years ago, we had a minor earthquake here in Grand Rapids. That's enough for us.

But for Drumpf, it's drill, baby, drill.

It's official: this is the first Bee-otch of the Day of the Trump administration and yes, it's going to the man who is *technically* president, but really shouldn't be.

At 12 Noon Friday, a mere 250,000 putrid souls stood that the Capital to watch Drumpf take the oath of office as the 45th president of the United States of America. Only a few short hours later, he was busy signing executive orders.

On Friday, Drumpf signed one that would speed up the the elimination of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. If eliminated, 30 million Americans would be without health insurance. On Saturday, millions of women took to the streets to protest Drumpf's proposed bans on abortion and other laws that protect women. As a matter of fact, today, Drumpf signed another EO that cut funding for abortions in other countries.

You know, he's been president for only three days and he's shown people that he doesn't give a damn. He thinks he has a plan to replace Obamacare but he doesn't. Republicans and health care simply don't mix. Many years ago, my workplace went to a Health Savings Account system where you had to put your own money into an account to pay off a high deductible. The woman from the insurance company pointed out that this was an idea of George W. Bush and mentally, I groaned. Then again, I was in my 20s and thought that I was in tip-top shape. However, while I was going from one gate to the next at Chicago O'Hare Airport later that year, I collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. After all the blood work and a CT scan was processed, I ended up with a $3000 bill and insurance didn't cover jack shit. My wealthy boss's logic was "OH! YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD THAT MONEY IN YOUR HSA!". Yeah, like he paid me enough to do so. OTOH, thank God I have a grandmother with money.

I don't know, folks. I think this country has proven that the smart ones didn't vote for the guy while his ass-kissers are all brainwashed. Hell, Bill Maher revealed that all of the states that have the highest amount of drug users all went for Trump last year. Go figure.

Of course, I think those same voters will go Democrat in 2020, but maybe they'll be too stoned when their house is taken away.

A SPECIAL HERO OF THE DAY!

Name: Barack Obama
Age: 55
Occupation: soon-to-be former president
Last Seen: Washington, DC
Awarded For: being one of the best presidents ever


---
In only a matter of hours, the eight-year legacy of President Barack Hussein Obama will be coming to an end.

The Obama family will move from the White House to a house in the DC area so their daughters can continue their education. As Donald J. Drumpf prepares to take the Oath of the White House, all I can say is this:

Obama was the best president of my lifetime. There, I said it.

In my life, we've had Reagan, two Bushes, Clinton and Obama in the White House. Reagan kissed the wealthy's ass, Bush I lied over taxes, Clinton lied to America over his affair with an intern and Bush II's idiocy killed 3,000 people on 9/11 and 4,000 more in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama? Well, let's say that he's always been faithful to Michelle, is a wonderful dad to his kids despite growing up with no father and he'll walk out of the White House with America at a 4.9% unemployment rate, its lowest in ten years. The travesty of 2008 is now a distant pipe dream.

Let's not forget the fact that unlike Dubya, he caught Osama, got us away from $4 gas, saved millions of jobs by bailing out GM, championed gay marriage and forced health care providers to lower their costs. Americans are sure better than what they were in 2008.

Sadly, yes, Obama had his problems, and it was his feuds with the Republicans. These assholes all made people believe that he was a Muslim from Africa who wanted to force Sharia Law onto us Americans. Instead, his policies SAVED America and not the other way around. It reminded me of Dinesh D'Souza's bullshit movie where he claimed that the apocalypse will arrive in 2016 because of Obama's so-called BS. Instead, America's stronger than ever.

In my case, the fact that Obama was in the White House saved my ass. When he was elected, I hadn't had a raise at my job in years. Thanks to the poor economy, I couldn't find another job. It took a few years, but thanks to a stronger economy and the fact that my boss retired, I was handed five raises in four years. Because of a better economy, I haven't used a credit card in a long time and my finances are way better.

When Obama leaves the White House for the final time at noon tomorrow, it will be a sad day for too many. I think we should remember the good times and hope that Drumpf will retain at least some of Obama's legacy.

But 2020 is only four years away.

----------

Name: The Democratic Party
Age: 189
Occupation: supposed left wing of the US
Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: not giving the nod to Bernie


---
Yesterday on Capitol Hill, the Democrats brought their barbecue grills during Betsy Devos' conformation hearing.

Bernie Sanders' grill, however, was much hotter.

He asked Devos about her financial support of the Republican Party and she balked by saying "I don't know".  He also commented that our government is now becoming a oligarchy, especially since Devos is part of not one, but TWO billionaire families (her parents, Edgar and Elsa Prince were industrialists). She also made it sound like she was not supportive of free college education ("because somebody's gonna have to pay for it" LIKE BILLIONAIRES LIKE HER). She also tried to dodge many questions the Vermont senator and former presidential candidate threw at her.

Throughout the hearing, I asked myself, "WHY IN THE FUCKING HELL ISN'T THIS MAN ENTERING THE WHITE HOUSE IN TWO DAYS?"

You know, I voted for Bernie in the Michigan primary (WHICH HE WON, BTW) and yet it was Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her band of thugs that forced the superdelegates to get Hillary Clinton and her scandals as the Democratic nominee instead. That left a lot of undecided voters all pissed and voting for somebody else.

Now, tomorrow will be the final full day we'll have a Democrat in the White House for four years. We're going to get stuck with a man with zero integrity and will make our country live in fear. Do you like your healthcare? Kiss it goodbye! Plus, us 99 percenters will be forced to lick billionaire asses for this time, all because of 63 million rural retard yokels who all think that Hillary's the antichrist while their thoughts of Donald are "HEY! HE'S THAT APPRENTICE GUY FROM THE TV! HYUK! HYUK!" That being opposed to the 65 million voters who have all realized that Drumpf is in it for the money and to help billionaires screw over the 99% even worse than Bush II did.

In the end, money won. Trump's worth is $3.7 billion, the Clintons are worth $121 million but Bernie's only worth $571,000. Sorry, but I would rather have somebody only worth about 20 times than me as my president versus 150,000 times. Hell, I don't want a Devos running ANY office in my government. Betsy never taught a class nor did she ever allow her children to go to a public school. In her opening statement, she stated that her mother was a teacher and was her biggest inspiration. Folks, my cousin's mother (my aunt) was a schoolteacher and so was her mother (my grandmother) and her mother (my great-grandmother). My poor cousin, however, is NOT a schoolteacher; she's a bartender. Yet, I think she's a far-better choice for Education Secretary than Devos.

We all wished this never happened but it did. In the great words of that old lady in "Fahrenheit 9/11": "We were duped."

Age: 27
Occupation: towing service
Last Seen: Ionia, MI
Bee-otched For: not being nice to our soon-to-be-ex-president


---
In only three days, we're going to say goodbye to the smartest, gentlest and kindest president in my lifetime.

Too bad that a tow truck company in Ionia - 35 miles east of Grand Rapids - is celebrating.

I-96 Towing and Repair has a roadside LED sign at their shop that currently reads "Only a few more days and that asshole will be out of the White House." Ben Lichtenwalner posted the video above to YouTube after his friend saw the sign and recorded it. "A colleague of mine recorded this horrible sign on her way in this morning. Children see this sign for goodness sake. How unprofessional and unethical - regardless of your political affiliation," Lichtenwalner posted.

WOOD-TV 8 did a story on the sign, and contacted the Ionia County Sheriff's office regarding the term "asshole". There is no law banning companies like I-96 Towing and Repair from posting that word on their signs. After all, it's a 1st Amendment issue.

At least it's not as bad as when Obama took over the White House when a gun shop in my old hometown of Traverse City, Hampel's displayed their American flag upside down. The shop's manager even referred the president as a "nigger" to a reporter at the Traverse City Record-Eagle, which ultimately cost him his job.

I-96 Towing and Repair is owned by Barry Bussell, who just happens to own Shirley's Backroom, which is supposed to be a strip club, but apparently doesn't have any strippers. He created controversy om 2003 when he posted on his LED sign that the club accepted Bridge Cards, Michigan's EBT system. He claimed that it was simply just a joke.

But, I'm confused and this coming from somebody who should go to Ionia more often. According to their website, Shirley's Backroom has full-nude lap dances yet he claims that he doesn't have any strippers.

All I can say is that if my car gets into an accident in Ionia, I sure as hell hope that one of I-96's trucks doesn't pick it up. I cannot support a jackass who disrespects a man who has had way more integrity than most presidents in the past 50 or so years. If I owned a business, my sign on Friday would read "Thank you President Obama, we will miss you".

That, I think will bring some intelligent customers.

Bee-otched For: being exposed to Kryptonite

Fans of Superman know that he does have his weakness and that, of course is kryptonite.

In 2000, the then-up-and-coming rock band 3 Doors Down had a hit song with that title, complete with the lyric "if I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?"

It's official: 3 Doors Down have gone senile.

It was announced last week that the band, also known for hits such as "Loser", "Here Without You" and "Duck and Run" will be playing at Donald Trump's inaugural concert on Friday.  Other performers at the event will include Toby Keith, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Big and Rich, Lee "God Bless the USA" Greenwood and not much else celebrity-wise. Sir Elton John, Celine Dion and Moby were all invited to attend, but all refused.

So far, 3 Doors Down are the sole rock band playing at the inaugural and it's pissing off their fans. One fan Tweeted to them that Trump is a disgrace to America while others have proclaimed that the band has lost their only fans. However, some fans are defending 3DD's decision to play the event since they are pro-military (their 2007 hit "Citizen/Soldier" was used by the US National Guard). However, this is Donald Trump we're talking about here, folks. A man who degrades women and minorities, wants to eliminate affordable health care, wastes his time attacking intelligent people on Twitter and simply put, puts the wealthy in front of the rest of us.

But if 3 Doors Down wants to keep losing fans, fine. Their latest album, Us and the Night hasn't been a big seller (in comparison, their first album, 2000's The Better Life sold over five million copies) and critics have given it raving reviews. Bear in mind, too that the group has had some major turnover in recent years. Former guitarist Matt Roberts died of a prescription drug overdose in 2015 and bassist Todd Harrell was kicked out of the band in 2012 because of an accident he caused that killed another man. Like Roberts, Harrell was addicted to pills and was sentenced to two years in prison for the man's death.

No word on if lead singer and principal songwriter Brad Arnold is on drugs himself, but judging by the band's bad decision-making, they might as well be.

A week ago, the Fall 2016 radio ratings were released for Grand Rapids.

iHeartMedia country outlet B93 once again ruled with an 8.4, sister Nazi talker WOOD was 2nd place with a 6.5 while there was a tie at third place between Cumulus classic rocker WLAV and iHM CHR WSNX with a 6.3. WSNX's 6.3 is the best rating for the heritage top 40 station in a while and quite frankly, their jocks and staff should be congratulated for their efforts.

Instead, their morning guy is standing in an unemployment line.

Ken Evans had been the morning host with Lauren "Shmitty" Smith on SNX's morning show The Morning After. However, he was fired last week because effective on Tuesday, the station will be beaming in Mojo in the Morning from their sister station WKQI/Channel 9-5-5 in Detroit. Shmitty apparently is now handling late middays for now. It's not the only change SNX is making in regards to the Motor City; the station is now cyberjocking Channel's afternoon guy, Styles for nights. Already, WSNX's afternoon shift is handled by another Channel jock, Stick, who is also WSNX's programming director.

In all, the only live and local shift at WSNX will now be middays while the rest of the station is being farmed from Detroit with the exception of the syndicated programming the station airs (i.e. American Top 40, Most Requested Live and the syndicated mix show from Grooves, a former mixer at WSNX). Thankfully, their Sunday night mix show Club 104-5 is safe, albeit for now (and why WSNX airs the show Sunday nights as opposed to Saturdays is a mystery).

While WSNX is celebrating their top three victory shaking their heads, another FM station in town is at the bottom of the barrel and some are wondering why the hell that station, WBBL still airs The Huge Show.

It's official: the Cumulus station registered a 1.3 in the ratings, making it the lowest-rated FM station in the Grand Rapids market. On the other hand, fellow iHM sports rival WMAX/ESPN 96.1 scored way better with a 2.5, lead by the afternoon show Gregg, Big Drew and Jim. The show also airs on sister WDFN 1130 in Detroit and reportedly has a plethora of calls from the Grand Rapids region. As a matter of fact, GBD&J reportedly have a three share while Simonson only has a two share.

You know, I think it's funny that the big fat moron lured Eric Zane from the unemployment line after being fired from Free Beer and Hot Wings and WGRD and now, he's pretty much Huge's bitch boy. To add insult to injury, GRD also lost some ratings, falling to fifth place this book. When the whole ordeal with Zane being canned last year was going down, I knew that there would not be a clear cut winner.

Look, both iHM and Cumulus are BILLIONS in debt and their shares suck (iHM closed at $1.15 today while Cumulus was $1.05 while SiriusXM was $4.58 and Pandora was a flat $12). Terrestrial radio is dying because they don't give a damn about what the listeners want. Instead, they fire good jocks and replace them with a dude who knows nothing about the area he's broadcasting to. Does Mojo know what two malls are across each other at 28th and East Beltline? Of course he doesn't. Does Stick know the name of Grand Rapids' hockey team? Of course he doesn't. Does Styles know the former US president that lived in Grand Rapids? You guessed it: of course he doesn't. But as long as iHM gets to save a quid or two on having real jocks in their studio, they don't care. Same with Cumulus, since Huge allegedly knows what Dick Devos' ass tastes like.

And why did Norway abandon FM broadcasts?
