Radio DJ Mancow Muller says Howard Stern can ‘burn in hell’ for rape jokes
Former radio competitor Mancow Muller has a clear message for Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed “King of All Media.”
“Oh, so now he’s a nice guy? He can go to hell,” Mancow stated in a new trailer for Vice TV’s upcoming docuseries, “Dark Side of the 2000s.”
Mancow, whose real name is Matthew Erich Muller, had a bitter feud with Stern in the 90s when they were rival disc jockeys at different radio stations.
During this time, Mancow’s father, John, was battling terminal cancer, and Stern went on scathing rants about Mancow, even making threats of sexual assault.
“My father, who was a $30,000 a year cabinet maker, became the main topic on Stern’s show for a year,” Mancow, 57, recalled in the docuseries.
He then recounted the derogatory comments Stern made about his father’s illness and death.
“He counted down to my father’s death, talked about having sex with my mother, using her saliva on himself during my rape, and even encouraged his listeners to attend my father’s funeral,” Mancow listed.
During one particularly intense rant, Stern referred to Mancow as his “bitch” and called himself “the master vampire.”
“This kind of demonic evil is just wrong,” Mancow commented after hearing the clip.
Even some of Stern’s own staff at the time felt that he had gone too far.

Jackie Martling, the former head writer for “The Howard Stern Show,” also spoke about the “ruthless” feud in the docuseries.
“He would say horrible things. I didn’t want anyone to think that this was my idea,” she said.
Mancow claimed that Stern’s team reached out to him and apologized. They wanted him to know that they didn’t write the offensive content and recognized it as a mistake.
Howard Stern’s former radio rival Mancow Muller has an apparent 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,” Mancow said in a new trailer for Vice TV’s upcoming docuseries, “Dark Side of the 2000s.”
Mancow, 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 Mancow’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,” Mancow, 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 Mancow his “bitch” and called himself “the master vampire.”
“What is that? That type of demonic evil, this is wrong,” Mancow 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.
Mancow 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.’”
