Radio Personality

The Resume

    (August 1, 1950- )
    Djed on WPOP, WAXC, WRC, WAPE and WWDC
    Syndicated on the Infinity chain

Why he might be annoying:

    He was syndicated into New York City for the first time on the same station as Howard Stern (92.3 K-Rock - February 12, 1993).
    Howard refused to promote him and instead belittled him as much as possible.
    He was suspended in Washington D.C. when he joked about Martin Luther King Day: kill four more and get the rest of the week off.
    He originally used the radio name 'Dougie the T.'
    He was fired after playing a Lauryn Hill record and said: 'No wonder they drag them behind trucks;' a reference to a black man who was killed by whites who tied him to their truck and dragged him around (February 24, 1999).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He jokingly claimed to be the construction worker in the Village People, which many people believe he really was.
    He liked to spin yarns of his tour of duty in Vietnam, which was ripped off by Stern, who also never served.
    He ended each broadcast with 'AMF' (Adios My Friends).
    Howard Stern's dislike for him has been criticized by some as jealousy. When Stern left WWDC for WNBC, he was Washington DC's #1 radio man. Greaseman maintained the #1 spot which was a blow to Howard's ego.
    He publicly apologized for his racially insensitive statements of February 1999, but many did not forgive him.
