Also backing Stern was Gregg \"Opie\" Hughes, part of the infamous \"Opie and Anthony\" radio team kicked off the air after an August 2002 live sex stunt in St. Patrick's Cathedral.

\"I feel sorry for the guys who don't have the talent to get beyond the shocking stuff,\" Hughes told The Post - echoing a widespread view in the radio business that Stern doesn't need to shock to entertain.

\"Even though it's no secret that we've never gotten along with Howard, I believe it's an outrage what's going on with him and I fully support him,\" Hughes said.
