The Dice-Man Runneth From Brother Wease Set-Up
March 8, 2007

Andrew Dice Clay is attempting to make a comeback. He has a new VH1 reality show centered on getting his career rejuvenated with an ultimate quest to sell-out Giants Stadium, an 80,000 seat venue. He ended his long-standing feud with Howard Stern, and has done comedy shows on Sirius Satellite Radio. With Dice trying to generate goodwill in his attempt to regain relevance in today’s pop culture, it seems one battle will not die down – the divide with Opie & Anthony

In the mid-'90s, while Dice was on the outs with the Stern camp, he turned to Opie & Anthony, becoming a recurring guest on their WNEW program, even asking them to help sell tickets for a Madison Square Garden performance on the same night as Game 5 of the Mets vs. Yankees World Series in 2000. But, out of the blue, Dice disconnected himself from the O&A camp, including friend Jim Norton, who was introduced to O&A by Dice, and longtime employee Club Soda Kenny.

Earlier today, during a promotional round for his VH1 program, Dice called in to The Brother Wease Show on WCMF/Rochester. Wease, a good friend and mentor of Gregg “Opie” Hughes’ career, decided to “mother hucker” Dice by discussing O&A at the start of the conversation, at one point declaring, “They are bigger than the King Of All Media, baby. I would do anything for Opie.”

“Are we here to talk about Opie, or are we here to talk about my new show?” responded Dice. “Cause, you know what? If I have a problem with somebody, I go head-to-head with that person… no middleman.”

After a little more conversation, Wease put Opie, who was holding and listening on another line, on the air. He immediately asked, “Dice, what is your problem?” In an instant, Dice was gone, with a very audible “click” of a phone being disconnected from the airwaves.

"There you go," said Opie after the hang-up. "There's the real Dice.  He's turned his back on all his friends and everyone that has helped him out with no real good reason."

Wease did get a Dice interview of sorts in the form of Andrew Dice Gay, a.k.a. Anthony Cumia

“That is not the type of thing Wease is comfortable doing,” said Opie of the set-up phone call, adding later that Wease “believes everybody should just get along.”
