You people make me laugh. You all want Howard to be a failure, but he gave these two talentless nobodies a show to do- which they suck at. Howard's got the greatest show on morning radio- a hit in every market. He can do any TV show he wants, he writes best-selling books, and made a great movie. What the hell have these two ungrateful, boring, fake Howard Sterns ever done? Some shitty afternoon radio show no one ever heard of. "Howard's old", "Howard's gone Hollywood", "Howard's carreer is falling apart." What a joke! These clowns wouldn't be on the radio if it wasn't for him, and they should just thank him instead of pretending to be some kind of fresh voice in radio. They may have you fooled, but no one I know. And not themselves.

Well, obviously Howard is still successful in one thing; we can call him the new "Svengali".

Droning on and on doesn't make it so.

Not everyone here wants howard to be a failure, but that doesn't mean that everything he does is golden. Mr. Methane? awful, just awful.

The point we are trying to make is just open your eyes - things aren't so just because he says it is.

You like Stern? fine; so do many here. that doesn't change the fact that he is getting old and bitter. And don't forget the ego that goes on forever.

Ant replace Artie? it would ruin Ant's career. No one on Howard's show is allowed to be "funny" except Howard. That's why Billy West left, that's why they got rid of Jackie. Howard's ego always intrudes in his show. Listen to his interviews; somehow they always seem to revolve around him, even when he has good guests.

I don't think these Stern drones can read. Ste, I never said his movie was a "failure", i said it was substandard for my taste, and for what we measure as successful movies, blockbusters. As for Jeisen, Howard a hit in every market!? PLEASE!! He's lost half the number of cities he has now and he's not even in the top ten in Detroit or Chicago, two of the top ten markets in the country. He's lost number one spots in major strongholds of the past, including his own city! He can't even beat MANQUEER!! What's up with that? He never even mentions him anymore! What happened to the fisting? Nobody ever heard of O&A? There on in fourteen markets and have gotten national exposure a couple of times. Talentless? Gee, how'd they get a radio show with Infinity? I'll use your tactic..."Where's your show?" And Howard IS old, he HAS gone Hollywood, and his ratings HAVE dropped sverely in the last couple of years. Are you on this fucking planet? Even neutral members of the press that have endorsed Howard in the past say he's losing it. Young people who listen to this type of radio, and missed all of the classic Howard Stern shows don't relate to him. They relate to, and interact better with O&A. Howard has totally isolated himself. Thats the way he wants it.

I agree with you exactly, Prototype! Howard probably wasn't the only one in the radio world who had the idea of taking talk radio in anothe direction, but he was just the first to stand up and make his voice heard.

It's just like when you were in school and someone else raised their hand first to answer a queation. Other people knew the answer, but someone was quicker to the draw.

Look, everyone on this board has to admit that howard either was or is funny and that he was an influence in talk radio, but his rants about "clones" and "imitators' doesn't applly to everyone who does "shock" radio.

And I agree with him on certain people like Old Man Imus and Mancow the dreadfully Horrible, but O&A are just to original. Their bits are original and the only thing that is the same between Stern and O&A is that they do their shows from New York.

Mark&Brian, Walter&Johnson, Don&Mike, mancow, storm&bridsby, Opie&Anthony and then, at the top of the forefront is Howard Stern. So yeah, he isolated himself, not from his listeners but from this redundant, repetitive, ugly repetitious genre of radio and believe me, it's a good thing!!!

Oh yeah? Why not? What separates Opie&Anthony from a one mancow? You tell me because to tell you the truth (And I like O&A, listen whenever I'm in the car), I think their pretty much the same show. Have you ever been to the mancow site? You can listen to his show on the net... It's not a big difference from the O&A show, it really isn't (Context wise, anyway.) I think O&A or at least A is a million times funnier than mancow but if you look at the blueprint of the shows, their the same... O&A were syndicated even before they were officially syndicated, and I'm not talking about underground syndication, theirs an O&A show for every city, like it or not!!!

Now, here's where I get pissed.

If you say O&A are Stern clones, then yeah yeah, whatever, you're just brainwashed by Stern.

But to actually say that they're the same as Mancow..... NO.

Why? I've listened to Mancow. Right from the site, same as you. Fuck, O&A and Stern should just bury the hatchet and team up against Mancow, because not only did he blatantly rip off WOW (without even being so courteous as to change its name), but he is LITERALLY - and I hate using the word, but he is - a wannabe Stern CLONE. Yeah, I fucking said clone.

Why did I say clone? That's a Howard word. No no, that's my fucking word. Why? If you listen to Mancow, not only is he trying to put on the same boring, fake, produced show like Howard, BUT THE GUY'S VOICE SOUNDS LIKE A YOUNG STERN. The Cow is Now? No, the Cow is Shit.

At least you've given O&A *some* props by saying Ant has talent. You're not turning to the Dark Side, are you Mister Zombie ste?

No, no, NO! I have seen mancow on whatever fox news show he makes an appearance on, and he WASN'T FUNNY.

And I bet you that there are tons more people who have heard of O&A than Mancow.

Also, if there are people who are copies of stern or copies of whoever, why haven't they had any great success?

Well, I've never fucked a black chick before but I heard that they give great oral with those big lips and good anal because of their big fat asses but I never got into (so to speak) black chicks. I prefer light skin black chicks, dark ones freak me out.

Now for giving o&a props, I've always said they (or A) were funny, even on SFN... I would just appreciate it if you guys would acknowledge what Howard Stern has done for radio, that's all and you're right, maybe O&A shouldn't be in mancow's league but they are O&A type shows in every market, including the markets o&A are in right now. All of them were influenced by Stern and most of them clone Stern. o&A have had a few moments where, well, minority jeopardy in Boston... Clonish, shall we say but they have improved to the point of me liking them (or A)!!!

Why can't it ever be the case that someone just wanted to go on the radio and talk about stuff?

O&A have professed their likes and dislikes about stern, but they have given him credit and I do as well. But Howard for the most part lumps originals in with clones because that's his brainwashing tactic. O&A, as well as any talk radio show, is guilty of spinning things their way so they look like they're better than everyone else.

The war doesn't end, and radio's a dirty buisness where everyone's guilty of something.

Uhhh, um, ste, or whatever your name is, that was very stupid.

my point is that radio is full of cutthroats and backstabbers who hate each other.

Stern holds himself up on a pedastal so high that some of his listeners believe he created talk radio.


O&A are good, in my and thousands of other people's opinions. I have yet to hear one specific bit they stole from stern. No one has given specific proof to date.

You were talking about radio, sorry, I just didn't know you could have a war over the radio!!!

As for a specific bit that O&A stole from Stern, I named this in an another post but I'll post it in this one too. MINORITY JEOPARDY... I know what you're gonna say, that doesn't matter, that happened in Boston, well to bad, it counts but I've gotten over that and I'm still able to enjoy the O&A show, now have a nice day(or night), my fair man!!!

Ste,
If you think no one here gives Howie props, you aren't really reading the posts. Some here like stern, and even those that don't recognize that he was funny.

As for the Boston bit, yeah, it doesn't count. Stern to this day, calls O&A clones, but the bit you are talking about has to be more than 3 years ago. If you want to go back in history there are plenty of dud bits stern did, plus some things he did that others did before.
The point is even if Stern was an innovator, that doesn't give him the right to think he has a patent on the style. Does Bruce Sutter say Roger Clemens ripped him off everytime clemens throws a split fingered fastball?
What's funny is funny, and when someone does a funny show he should be recognized for it, plain and simple.

you know, it doesn't take a genious to spoof a game show and give it a wacky name. I don't think any person would have to listen to howard's show to make up a bit that sounded the same.

and ste, you're very bad at insults. just stick with debating.

Question of the day: How long cant Schizo-te go without homosexual thoughts entering his "mind"?

Don't care that much about radio? I thought you worked in the business? At least that's what you said when you questioned my post about Howard's ratings in other cities. Or when you posted the entire monetary history of Private Parts? Or just posting every couple of hours to multiple threads in general? I'd say you care about it quite a bit. Is there ANY truth in your life? Just admit the feelings you're confused about. You're a closet homo, you know O&A are better than Howard or you wouldn't feel threatened enough to come here and TRY to defend him, and you care, very much like I do, about how Howard is going to go out. I wished it wasn't true either bro, but the fact is that Howard has become what he used to hate, and make fun of, and you know it. Think. Just let it happen. Its painful, but you'll feel much better. The truth is an ally. Like it used to be for Howard.

P.S. Glad someone got to the Manqueer comment before I did. That was THE most rediculous "point" you've TRIED to make yet? Good stuff.

Well, ste you were kinda mocking me.

And while we're on the topic of "stealing" bits, I remmber ron and fez doing a commercial that begins "On a very special Ron and Fez."

A couple weeks later, Stern did "On a very special Howard Stern Show" Doesn't that count as "cloning" someone's show? I guess not, because Stern created everything including the wheel, human speech, the internet and talking about lesbians and hot women.

If it was possible to copyright bits, a lot of radio host would be paying out of their ass.

I do work in the radio biz, i work for clear channel offices over here on 1180 Avenue of the Americas in NYC but I do not insult people over radio. When I call a potential advertiser and they tell me that they do not want to advertise for Star&Buckwild, I do not sit there and call them assholes and retards, BTW, I am gay and straight at the same time, so i guess you could say that I am confused... As for the Ron & Fez thing, HAHAHAHA, go take a look at Ron's Florida days when his show was the Ron & Ron show, now that show was what you would call a clone show, OK!!!

Ste, I could go on a rampage and flip on you, but you're rather intelligent and you are in the radio industry. Therefore I stop and make a valid point.
Stern is a total opposite of what he use to be, he was a hero in more ways than one, and he always thought of a new way to push the boundaries. Now, he just sit on his ass, recycles the same crap over and over again, triesto prevent others from pushing the boundaries even further, and runs to daddy Kazarmin like a little boy who got punched in the mouth for instigating a fight with the big quiet kid in school.
What bothers me more about him is that Howard will do anything for money and in all honesty, that doesn't gain listeners, it loses them. The guy sued his own fans and has shut down websites that are dedicated to him because tyhey simply enjoy listening to him and like him. That is hypocrsy, greed, and cowardice.
Granted, everyone has an influence, my uncle influenced me to be a smartass and my dad influenced me to be a hard worker, but by all means I'm not ripping them off, hoo hoo.
If Stern was truly king, he'd put on the gloves one more time and fight O&A. The wosrt is that Stern could go down fighting, and the best could mean he proved that he is still top dawg.
But, this is reality, Howard is gonna be cowardly and spinless about it, simply because O&A will fight back, with more brutality that Howard will ever have.
Let's face it, Howards is just a hollywood phony scumbag, who thinks only for himself, not for his show.
Remember, It's not the legacy that gets you somewhere and keeps it afloat, it's how much you want your show to be better the next day.
That's how some shows suceed and others fail.



This is what I do now.
Why?

Because I can, that's why!

Howard is a coward for not "taking on O&A"?
That's the common consensus around here, right?

I never, ever understood that logic, to put it generally and bluntly, Howard does morning radio, O&A do afternoon radio, I assure you that if O&A had went to CC or westward one to do mornings, Howard would have "taken them on" but to "take on" a show that has nothing to do with you is pretty silly, don't you think?

There is no O&A Vs Stern feud, never will be, unless, O&A go to mornings in three years but that won't happen... Four years from now when Stern retires, O&A will move to mornings and have nice little radio battles with the I-man (if he's still alive) and other "Shock" radio shows around the country but not Stern, once again, O&A do afternoon radio, Stern does mornings... No "war" until O&A sign with CC and move to mornings (which they won't do, not because they have no balls but because the're smart, the'll wait and then possibly become the king(s) of radio, like Stern is today)!!!

Ste, once again you skip by the obvious , that's reaching for something that doesn't quite have anything to do with it.
Stern nor O&A have to go head to head in the morning or afternoons, I'm saying they can do it face to face anytime or anwhere, even bust on each other on their shows perspectively.
Simply put, Stern is just a hollywood coward that just doesn't understand how evolution works. IF O&A go to morning in a little less than four years, there will be noone left, which would probably cause O&A to leave.
I'm just wondering why Stern has to be so scared of O&A and pull the stuns he pulls on them. If Howard is what he used to be, he'd stop thechildish bullcrap like the gag order, and go after them like the King he claims to be.
But this is reality, it won't happen.
