Show Open
• The show starts off with a Worst Of, and then starts late because of technical issues. (this is just for the first run of the show - on the replays the time is filled with music from the show e.g. Brother Joe's song on the 2 pm replay)
• Ant says hello, and says he is repeating it because they have been telling them that they were on for the past 10 mins but not until now were they actually on. Op talks about flying from LA, and how the time difference messed him up. They talk about the snowstorm that is supposed to hit NY, and Ant says it will just be rain. Op says he is a retro-racist, liking old school words like coloreds and Ricans.
• They talk about the Oscars.
• Ant says he has had enough of Jamie Foxx, and he is upset that he is now an A list celebrity. They talk about how everyone is bringing up that this is the first time that two black guys won Oscars on the same night, and Ant says he doesn’t understand why it always had to be brought up. They also talks about Jamie Foxx’s speech, and about his grandmother. Jimmy says he didn’t want to like Ray, but he loved it.
• Jimmy talks about talking to Rich Vos, and Vos telling hi, about the Oscar gift bag that he got which includes a dinner by “Wolfman” Puck (should be Wolfgang).
• Op says that Ben came to them before the show and told them that they were getting late because of an issues with their board.
• Ant goes off on a rant about their celebrity booker, saying that she is a “useless cunt” and a waste of money because she gives them no guests. Op says they are in LA on Academy Awards weekend, and he saw more stars than they had booked for the show. Ant talks about seeing Louis Gossett Jr. sleeping at the Oscars. Back to the booker, Op says he had an issue when he heard that the booker lady had a connection with Howie’s show. Ant says that they were told that because of their “reputation”, she would get them a few lower level celebrities, and then work up to getting ‘A’ listers, but so far nothing. They say that XM should just fire the lady.
• Caller – Dugout Doug, and they hear him but he can’t hear them. He hears them on the delay, and goes on with his call anyway. Jimmy says the greatest part of that was that he had to wait 15 seconds to hear his joke bomb. Op says he is stunned, and that everyday he is losing his passion to do radio with the problems. Ant says he and Ben were talking, and that they were discussing the bitching, and that maybe they shouldn’t and then today’s problems happens. Op says the last three shows have just had problems back to back. To prove the point, Jimmy goes outside and calls the hotline from his cell phone. Op says that any callers near 57th street should just come in studio and talk to them so that they can let listeners interact.
• Caller – calls in and has to listen to the radio to hear himself.
• Another Caller, having to listen to the radio to know when to talk, says that he could tell Vos’s jokes in Chris Rock’s monologue.
• Op says if there is another problem he will just get up and walk off the show.
• Milk Diva into break
Break
• Back from break, they comment on Ant’s disgusting banana. Travis the intern comes in to apologize for the banana. Ben then comes in to say that the phones are working now, and Op tests it by going to the phone and picking up Rich Vos.
• Vos talks about some of the reviews that Chris got for his hosting job at the Oscars. Op tries to go to audio from the Oscars, but there is an issue – then it finally plays. The audio is of Sean Penn, being a douche by correcting one of Chris Rock’s jokes. Vos talks about being backstage and meeting a lot of the celebrities backstage. They talk about Martin Scorsese not winning an Oscar again. Op reads the list of movies that Scorsese has directed and still has not gotten recognized for, and compares it to Clint Eastwood’s list of directing credits. Vos tells them about the things that are in his gift bag. Op says he loves that Vos just wrote for Chris Rock and he is more concerned about his appearance on their show. They talk about Chris’s performance as the host, and Rich says he thinks that, considering all that he was up against, he did a pretty good job.
Break

Break
• Ant says he hates the Oscars, and even after watching the whole thing he just hates it. They talk about the Johnny Carson tribute, and how it was horrible. Jimmy talks about Whoopi, and at what point did she crossover from being a good comic to an “irritant”. Op says that’s what happens when people move out to Hollywood. They bring up Washington again, and how Ant has heard a rumor that someone has an issue with Jimmy in the meetings. Jimmy says he wishes who ever said that would say it to his face. Ant notices Kirstie Alley on TV, and that she looks like she has lost a lot of weight.
• They talk about their time in Cali, and Ant says that Ben knows people everywhere. Op says that he spent time with Bob Etman, and tells a story about Bob – Bob told him a story about taking a flight from Las Vegas, and sitting next to a porn star.
• Back to their trip in Cali, Op talks about shopping at Fred Siegel in LA, and that he was going to buy an expensive shirt, but they didn’t have his size so he didn’t get it. Op says that Ant however, went for a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive – Jimmy gives him a disgusted look. Op starts by explaining that he rented a Nissan, and that he saw Ant’s rental car which was a Mercedes SLK convertible. Ant says that Op car was “every mom’s car”, and Op says that is what made it even more embarrassing that they parked his car next to Ant’s.
Ant says that even in LA, his car got some looks. They rag on Op’s car a little more, and then it’s back to Ant’s shopping spree. He describes shopping at the stores, and he says he got a pair of pants, a couple of shirts, a jacket and a pair of shoes. Jimmy attempts a guess at what the whole thing costs – $1070.

• Caller – wants to know if Ant will be going to the Hamptons for sea breezes(hoo-hoo Robin)
• Caller – tries a joke *crash*
• Op says he listened to the Ed Asner interview from Las Vegas last week, and how brutal it was. Op says he can’t wait for another show like that, where they just throw each other under the bus. This segues into audio from Sean Hannity’s show, with him reacting to Ed Asner trashing him. Op says they have sent the audio of the show to Hannity to play on his show. Then Op plays audio from another of the XM stations with one of the DJs talking about their poster – not thrashing them, just talking about the poster, and that they want to put mustaches and boobs on it with Sharpies.
• They talk about Chaunce Hayden, and his article in Steppin Out magazine talking about them.
Op says he is just a hack, and Ant says he is a peripheral Stern character, and a fraud. Op reads the article, in which Chaunce claims that Op demanded that in the article that he be credited as the inventor of WOW. Op asks what he has to gain by doing that. Ant talks about a girl from Stern’s show that Chaunce had sex with that later ended up dying, and he asks how bad sex with him has to be to cause a girl to kill herself. Op remembers the interview Chaunce did with them for Hustler, and that he changed the questions after the interview. Op says that the last time he saw him, Chaunce tried to shake his hand and he turned his back to him.

Big Kev also shows them a ring from Lord of the Rings, and Bob Kelly talks about a “cock ring” he got from his chick for Valentine’s Day.
