| Hanger-On Registered: Nov. 01  | Let's face facts, Stern will be the one poeple look back upon as the trailblazer of ths form of radio. He is to radio what Lenny Bruce was to stand up comedy. I'm not saying this prevents O&A from being legitmate radio personalities. But everything they have done -- with the exception of WOW -- was done first on Stern. Sure, it was just a combination of luck and timing that Stern came first, but he DID come first. He broadcast sexually explicit material before O&A, he complained about management and censorship before O&A, and he synidicated before O&A. If I were them, I would not compare themselves to Stern. I would figure out how I could be different from Stern. It is traditional for all artists to imitate before they innovate. However, is shaving bush innovation? Every market has some show like this. Here in Boston we had O&A, followed by Rocco & Birdsey, Nick Carter, etc. etc. Perhaps timing will allow O&A to take over market superiority when Stern leaves in 5-10 years. If that is the case, I hope they start innovating. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | Yes, ok, Stern made some inovations to talk radio. However, he has lost the edge. He is too self-involved to even realize that he has lost his audience. O&A have taken his concept, and his audience, to a new level. It IS innovative to improve and expand on an old idea. No one here will argue the contributions that Stern made, we just believe it's being done better now... You are redundant because your comments have been posted here many times. Yeah, we get it, now you can leave......or join us.

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01 | The whole point of message boards is to talk with people who have your own thoughts and believe what you do. Do you know how pathetic you make ALL Stern fans look and what a pussy you make Howard himself look by coming onto a board of a show that Howard doesn't even mention because he's too afraid of them and have your words fall on deaf ears? Howard doesn't even tell his fans to do anything and you become aware of the threat that O & A pose and you feel you have blabber about that big-nosed pussy for which you have a crush on. You're not doing anything new, and you are wasting your time. Stern fans do provide a comic outlet with their mundane stupidity, so, for a goof, the occassional stupid post isn't bothersome. GodBlessAmerica. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 01 | WOW isn't the only O&A inovation. They could do more original things but the station won't let them. Feels for meals is one example. They also use the internet more than anyone else, with instant feedback and the Stinky-cam. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Nov. 01 | Opie and Anthony will never do it better than Howard, because Howard's show is about being himself and their show is about being him. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Nov. 01 | Wait a second. I am not strictly a STERN fan, or an O&A fan. I am a fan of good humor. I think both shows are funny, but in my opinion Stern's is the better show. Sex is not the reason. I think its boring when Stern talks about a girl's tits, or has a panel rate a woman. Unfortunately, this seems to be the part of his show that most other DJ's, including O&A, imitate with the most zeal. In my opinion, Stern is at his best in interviews, or in honest discussions with his callers, staff or studio-mates. I don't think O&A's interviewing skills measure up (not yet), although they have improved quite a bit since their 'AAF days. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | how often do o&a interview guests?? they usually have "bad guest day" when some poor fuck calls in trying to plug something, and they usually tool on him until he hangs up. and you really are brain washed if you think that howard was the first to have sex and tits on the radio. i urge you to take a look at don imus, who's been around years before howard. hoo hoo howard ripped off imus, many times. ============================== Remember-Laughter heals.

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | You know, it wouldn't be so bad if these guys did the research like I did, instead of just taking Howard's word for it. You take HIS word for it and yeah, O&A are clones. You listen to BOTH shows, do a little homework, and think for yourself, and you'll find the truth. I've seen so much distortion of fact from some of you "Stern Onlys" Get ALL the facts before you spout off like dults!

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Stern USED TO be good at interviews. the past few years he has spent more time being a kiss-ass, and less time being honest. When he is honest it is still good; this just seems to be less & less. O&A may be less polished on interviews (they do less), but they are better at letting the guest be the focus of attention (except for "bad guests"). Honest discussions with callers? I can count how few times I heard Stern do this. O&A will sometimes, but more often they let callers be funny (or try to be) - witness the "what did we learn", and the instant feedback. Sex sells. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes boring. Stern repeated this idea way too many times to be interesting anymore. I disagree that O&A copy this. They don't rate women (which is what stern does). When they do (or did) do something with sex, it is more intersting slant (the "guess what's in my pants, or "what would you do for Brittany Spears tickets). You may find these bits good or not, but IMHO there is little to dispute that they are more creative than Stern's "sex" bits. Even when they do something gratuitous (sp?), (like the shave bush bit) they admit it is mostly for them to get a kick. You can like stern more, and still be accepted here, if you act intelligently and not repeat the zombie mantra. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jul. 00 | Fandick, never did I think I would see the day, but I'm impressed. By the way, I recall you telling me you moved out of Chicago, if I recall correctly, where do you listen to O & A? It's been a while, but I thought you told me you lived in Florida. The Howard issue; Howard did open doors, Opie and Anthony will admit that, but O and A ripped those doors off their hinges. Howard was great at one time, while he still has his moments, while he still is far and away the best radio personality in MORNING radio, he's a shell of his former self. Howard is on his last leg. Sure, Mel Karmizan will support him, but there is no denying that his audience is leaving in droves. Whatever excuse Stern wants to make, the blame lies on him. O & A aren't trying to be Stern, they don't need to. I ask one question to the Stern drones; If Howard was so sure that these guys were just cheap imitations of him, why is he afraid to mention them on his show? Why is he afraid to take them on? The answer, he knows he would lose. Howard is an intelligent guy, he picks his spots, Mancow, Mark and Brian, John Debella, Howard knew these guys weren't in his league, he also knows that he is no longer in the same league as Opie and Anthony. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | Ubermensch! What's up man. Yep, Overman was the one to start my fact finding mission. I used to tell him how O&A were clones, and they sucked an blah, blah, blah. And he's exactly right. Howard picks on the "safe" guys. O & A would rip him and Robin to shreds, and he knows it. Never thought I'd see the day where I would say something like that. (as a disappointed tear rolls down his cheek) I think at this point the way to sum up Howard is, "Thanks for the memories, dude." Because when he was at his best, NOBODY did it better than Howard. BTW Overman, I live in Daytona Beach, and I listen on syndication underground. Sblueman is King! Take care. Happy Thanksgiving all!

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 00 | You should just relax and enjoy the show as I do. However, realize that they are the best Stern imitators in the business, despite Opie's lack of comedic talent and knowledge of current events. He is Anthony's Robin Quivers. A true show dragger. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 00 | You guys are wrong about Stern ripping off Imus. When Stern arrived at WNBC in 1982, Imus was playing records for most of the hour and shouting "how's your Donkey Kong" at a few callers he could squeeze in. Yes, he also had a couple of 1 minute bits here and there. But, there was NO EXTENDED CONVERSATION on Imus's show, until Stern slowly moved away from playing records. Imus needed someone to copy and changed his show after Stern did. I know all this because I used to listen to both shows. Sometimes, when Stern says that he did something first, he is right. The rest of the time, he is just doing a bit. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | o&a don't just shave bush, and they admit, it's for their own pleasure unlike Stern who thinks stripper conversation is pleasurable to all listeners. And THEY don't compare themselves to Stern, people like you do. Stern wasn't the firdst person to do bits. and I would have said Stern was similar to Lenny Bruce (but not as great as him) in trying to defend freedom of speech until the gag order news was released and that changed a lot.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | This constant retarded arguement is growing quite tired and very boring. Dolomite, RAsien, and other stern fuck nuts who feel like saying the same old shit how "Opie and Anthony are nothing but cheap imitations of Stern" and "Opie and Anthony will never succeed" just shove an electrical outlet up your ass, plug in the other end and take a bath in your tubs you unoriginal schumcks. We dont want/ need/ like you here so go back to suckling off of Howards miniscule mule.  Still a proud member of the HLJC. Ive got about as much mental stabilty as a ward of mental patients. | ||||
