Howard Stern’s former radio rival Mancow Muller has a message for the self-proclaimed “King of All Media.”
“Oh, he’s made amends, he’s a nice guy now? He can burn in hell,” Muller says in a new trailer for Vice TV’s upcoming docuseries, “Dark Side of the 2000s.”
Muller, whose real name is Matthew Erich Muller, had a bitter feud with Stern, 69, that erupted when the two were rival disc jockeys at competing radio stations in the ’90s.
At the time that Muller’s father, John, was battling terminal cancer, Stern went on scathing rants about his fellow radio host, even threatening to “rape” him.
“My father was a $30,000 a year cabinet maker and he became the number one topic on Stern’s show for a year,” Muller, 57, recalled in the docuseries, per the Daily Mail.
He then remembered some of the disparaging comments the “Private Parts” star said on air regarding his father’s illness and death.
“The countdown to his death, how he was going to have sex with my mother,” he listed. “How he was gonna use my mother’s saliva on himself when he raped me, how he was gonna dig up my father’s corpse, he told his listeners to go to my father’s funeral.”
During one of his more fiery rants, Stern labeled Muller his “bitch” and called himself “the master vampire.”
“What is that? That type of demonic evil, this is wrong,” Muller said after listening to the clip, per the outlet.
Even some of Stern’s staff at the time felt the shock jock had gone too far.
Jackie Martling, the former head writer for “The Howard Stern Show,” also recalled the “ruthless” feud in the docuseries, per the Daily Mail.
“He’d start saying horrible things. I didn’t want anybody to think that this is my concept,” she said.
Muller claimed that Stern’s team “called me and apologized. [They] wanted me to know, “I didn’t write this, this isn’t funny.’ They would tell him: ‘Howard, you’re gonna lose them, this is a mistake!'”
That hasn’t been the only feud in Stern’s longstanding radio career. He has also waged war against Kathie Lee Gifford.
“Howard Stern had a feud with me going on 30 years. I never met him. I never listened to his show. He hated my guts for 30 years,” Gifford shared on the “Today” show in 2018.
But the two eventually buried the hatchet after he called her privately to apologize.
“We had a half-hour conversation,” she recalled. “[He said], ‘Will you forgive me, Kathie, please? I’m doing some hard work on my life. I know I hurt you. I’m so sorry and I need to ask you to forgive me.'”
