Dick went off on Stern, allegedly for doing a show with Stern that he did not get compensation for.
Dick said, "For two years I did the show, never got a cent, and I'm not complaining about that...I'm just saying the Jew facts... I never got paid... I have no problem with his big, fat, hook-nose, and his money-grubbing miserly Jewishness."
Upon hearing Dick's words, Howard Stern responded, "Wow. This is... bad for society... I guess Andy's downward spiral continues, and now he's blaming me for all his problems. You [expletive] wacko!"
Implying that Dick's career was through, Stern said, "Who's gonna hire you? Of course, no one's gonna give you a job! If you don't like me, that's fine. But I don't like the anti-Semitic bulls**t."
"It always comes down to 'The Jew'," says Stern, the son of Jewish immigrants. "It's something that is always in my head."
Stern also mentioned getting into fights when he was younger, dealing with anti-Semitism in his early years.

Moving on, he spoke about his early days in radio, saying,"No one wanted anything from the Jew, and now [after success], everything wants something, and when you don't give it to them, it's 'the Jew, the Jew, the Jew.... You know who blamed the Jews Andy? Hitler!"
Playing the sound snippets of Dick's interview on the Fitzsimmons show, Stern paused it after Fitzsimmons and Dick agreed that Howard Stern repeatedly gets called a "hook-nosed Jew".
"Yeah, I get called that a lot Andy.. behind my back... and guess what, I don't forget." Stern said.
Dick expressed anger that Stern made fun of him on the air a few months back when Dick called in to express support for Charlie Sheen. After bringing up the lack of payment for his show again, Stern explained to his listening audience that he offered Dick the work since he "felt bad for him" due to his career setbacks, and Dick actually agreed to coming on with no payment.
More from Dick's interview:
Dick: "Howard's a nice guy... underneath all the Jewi-ness."
Fitzsimmons: "Is it true your father is Jewish?"
Dick: "My father is Jewish."
FItzsimmons: "Do you hate your father?"
Dick: "Not at all, I was thinking of him today. I have no problem with Jews. Most of my friends are Jews.... I know he [Stern] hates his hook-nose and being a Jew. My nose is not a big fat [expletive] Jew nose..."
Stern called on all Jews to boycott Andy Dick for his anti-Semitic tendencies and after briefly saying that he feels "bad for Israel surrounded by Arabs who feel this way," Stern suggested Dick move to Egypt "with the rest of the Jew haters."
