But Howard wasn’t quite finished and decided to send Mancow a pink dress ‘as a symbol that he had been emasculated’.

Mancow took things one step further and admitted: ‘What we did is we got everybody in the station to defecate in the box and we sent it back to him.’

Howard was allegedly enraged by the retaliation and decided to phone Mancow during one of his morning broadcasts.

The duo had it out live on air with Mancow screaming and shouting at his rival before hanging up.

‘It was the greatest battle in radio history and the people of Chicago went “click” and they turned him off,’ Mancow said of their feud.

‘It destroyed him in Chicago, he never beat me in Chicago, he never came close. Turns out there was more people in Chicago that had good in them, and good actually won for once,’ he added.

Elsewhere in the episode, which is titled Howard Stern Vs Opie And Anthony, an even bigger rivalry is addressed.

Gregg ‘Opie’ Hughes and Anthony Cumia also butted heads with Howard and tried their best to provoke him.

In July 2000, Howard, who was the morning host at Infinity’s WXRK, got the company to issue a gag order on their other personalities, preventing them, including Hughes and Cumia, from talking about him or other Infinity hosts.

Three months earlier, Howard reportedly threatened management with his resignation if they did not go through with his request, after Hughes and Cumia blew the news of a surprise rock concert that he was to announce the following morning.

The father-of-three has broadcast on Sirius XM Radio since 2006, and in 2020 he renewed his contract for five more years.
