| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02  | Whats up guys, Im new here. I listen to both Howard and O&A everyday, and was just wondering what the deal is between these two guys. The other day was the first time I ever heard Howards name mentioned on the O&A show, and it surprised me. Why would they have a problem with each other, they are not even on at the same time or anything. Sorry If this has already been discussed, but I couldnt find anything about it. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02 | Hoo Hooooo Hoooooo I'm Howard Stern and I invented whiping your ass after you take a shit..... The problem is that Stern is a big pussy, puts a gag order on O&A preventing them from mentioning his name, and claims he invented the radio biz and shows like O&A are stealing his shit. What he doesn't realize is that all O&A shit is all original and much funnier and that they are the jocks who get their shit ripped off......wow.....f.u. line....bra bingo. Bottom line is that Op and Ack respect what Stern has done in radio, but they do their own thing. They don't rip off anyone. Stern is a jealous, self-righteous coward. what? Stern is a coward. what? Stern is a twat. what? Douche bag what? Unfortunately, Hitler must've missed one! what? O&A 4 life. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02 | HUH? I dont get that last post! Please explain! Howard is making like 20 million a year, why is he actin Jelous? He should just shut his trap and do his show, and let O&A do their show. I have to admit though, I like Howards show better. Thanks for the Info though. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02 | are you nuts wetmeat? howard had his time. o and a are now at the top. he just can't cut it. he's an overly introspective, hollow man, obsessed with his small penise, telling women that they would never want to sleep with him in hopes that they will pity him and actually sleep with him. how much was the network gonna pay seinfeld before he quit? a ton of money. ratings were slipping and jerry wanted to go out on top. howard should do the same and end the show on a respectful note. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | quote: Exactly. If O&A would have been syndicated 10 years ago, this would have been an all out radio war. Howard has lost the edge. He is always going to do well because he has a large fan base. He doesn't even really need to try. Howard has gone from rebel to buisness man and it shows.  | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 02 | Stern obviously listens to O&A. He hired Artie to have a running banter with to compete with O&A. The ban on speaking Howards name is really weak, what is Stern afraid of? He would'nt be trying to hold them down if they were'nt a threat. m and Ralph Cirella are playing butt darts right now.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | We are beating a dead horse here, but Howard did not invent the following. The desire to talk about: Chicks Tits Pussies Butt sex Lesbians making fun of those less fortunate etc. etc. Not only did he not "invent" the desire to talk about them, he's not the first to do it on radio. The only things I can really give Howard credit for are his battles with the FCC. And the only reason HE was the one to fight the battles is because he was a syndication pioneer. Howard definatly revolutionized the syndication market. BUT HE DIDN'T SHOW GUYS THAT ITS FUCKING FUN TO TALK ABOUT TITS. and I'm tired of you fucking assholes saying that!!!!

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02 | Im not too sure Howard is dried up yet. Does anyone know where I can find the ratings for these radio shows (Im not saying that proves hes not dried up, im just curious)? O&A have to play WAYYYYY to many commercials, and WAYYY to often. Ive seen them go to commercial breaks every 20 minutes! Thats rediculous. If they werent so damn funny, I woulda stopped listening to them right there. And Norton is much funnier than Artie, no question. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Why are you even comparing Norton to Artie?? Uhh, I think Jamacian Mike is way funnier then Robin Quivers. I think Rich Vos is... not funny at all. I think Rick is way funnier then Pa Pa Pussah. I think Jim Koch is way funnier then Donald Trump. STOP MAKING YOUR STUPID COMPARISONS.

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 01 | I don't want to get into the "who's better" routine but Howard is still entertaining. Both went on road shows recently - Howard's shows from Vegas were good - O & A went to New Orleans - pretty mediocre stuff. At least Howard gets guests to stop by. O & A get WWF guys. And Robert Clary. But I still love the show. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 02 | How can you NOT get a bias opinion about Howard Stern on an Opie & Anthony message board? The fact is, Howard is still entertaining to millions, look at the ratings, he still doubles O&A, plus, he's in the prime-time of radio (mornings). That's not my opinion, that's the facts. I myself don't have a chance to listen to Stern, I work mornings. Opie & Anthony were obviously influenced by Stern, Anthony even appeared on his show. My belief on the whole so called gag order issue is this, Howard simply doesn't want to respond to O&A's bashing of him, in the old days, he probably would have but after 20 years in radio and so many radio battles, maybe he's just grown tired of it all. All I'll say is this, it's radio, relax, no such things as taking sides or joining an army, tune into what you want, as long as O&A and Howard continue to be paid millions, they could give a fuck about each other and they could give a fuck about YOU too... So don't worry about them! Give me more beer | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 02 | Beer- Thank you, thats the kind of response I was hoping for! You said "look at the ratings", is it really possible to look at the ratings? I would love too. I agree that its JUST RADIO. People are taking it wayyy to seriously. Opie and Anthony are really making millions? I didnt think they were that big yet, but then again, I know nothing about the business. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: Beer, for the 1,000th time, being a fan of O&A is not mean you cannot be a fan of HS. Obviously being a Stern zombie means you cannot think on your own. Ratings have nothing to do with the discussion, nor with any issues between O&A & Howard. News radio station typically gets most ratings in morning - they aren't in the discussion. Gag order is not Howard being noble. O&A dislike of Howard is only because of the gag order and its related actions. They did not bash him prior to any gag order. they have said that they used to like him in the 80's. What they did was attempt to talk about him and/or parody him, the way they treat Imus, the Greaseman, etc. Howard fumed when this happened, spoke to his buddy Mel, and had Mel issue edict that no one could talk about Howard. This is the same guy who made his bones by dissing Imus, DeBella, Mancow, Soupy Sales, etc. - even going so far as to (unintentionally) play a part in DeBella's wife's suicide. A couple of years ago O&A attempted to attend the press conference for "Son of a Beach" - as they put it, "we just wanted to get a sandwich". HS had them bodily removed before they could say anything. This from the same guy who sent Stuttering John to every press conference imaginable. Stern used to attack his "enemies". What he does to O&A is call them "clones" without mentioning them. In the past he never shied away from mentioning shows that he didn't like, because he knew if you listened to them (like the Greaseman when he came to WXRK), you'd realize they were horrible and come back to Stern. Obviously by not mentioning O&A Stern is demonstrating what he thinks about their show - that it is dangerous to him because it is fresh while he has lost his edge. I may be mislead, but while HS has demonstrated he could care less about his fans (he shut down several web sites because he couldn't make any money from them), O&A are very fan friendly - from the Instant Feedback, the "What did I learn", to the FREE road shows (unlike HS pay per views), to the "Have a beer with us at Hooters" nights. Will O&A kiss your as BECAUSE you are a fan? maybe not, but they are more than willing to see if you have anything to say, and if you say something good they won't cut you off or steal your material. These are the facts.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Anthony was on his show for a Sam Kinison impersonation contest. And wetmeat, I wasn't jumping on your back, but come on, that comparison of whatever his name and Norton was meant for one purpose, to draw a connection between the shows. Give it up, they aren't "impersonators".

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 01 | quote: This has to be the most blatantly inaccurate statement I've read here. O & A's commercial breaks are 5 to 7 minutes, tops. Stern's commercial breaks are 16-20 minutes and occur just as regularly. In fact, just this morning, Stern was bragging about the fact that he could sell 20 minutes worth of commercials per break.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | Stern takes less frequent, longer commercials while O&A take more frequent commercials. It's really that simple. *passes out after posting* | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 02 | Skeet, Anthony was actually on for a Jackie impersonation contest. As for commercial time, Howard obviously has more commercials due to his higher ratings. I also don't know what your point is, dragon. When you compare two shows and the subject has come up: "Which show is better bull shit", How can you not include ratings in that discussion? And if you want to believe O&A really care about you, go ahead but think about it this way, if you were a UPS driver and delivering people their packages, do you really care about them? O&A drinking beer with the listeners: Great marketing tool! Take it for what it is: entertainment, two guys who amuse you on the radio, don't start thinking that you're their friend... Psst between you and me, that's called a stalker shhhh. Give me more beer | ||||

They are made available only to those that subscribe (read: PAY) to receive them, and it is subsequently frowned upon -- and possibly illegal -- for said subscribers to simply post or publish them en masse. Which makes it all the more amusing that Infinity decided not to subscribe for the most recent ratings book.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: When I discuss what show is better I always discuss what I enjoy. I do not listen to a show based on its ratings. If you want to say that Howard has better ratings - you can say that if you wish, but it doesn't make Howard a better show. As I said, WINS gets higher ratings in NY than howard's show - that's not the point. quote: There is a difference between personalities caring about their fans and being friends. Some "celebrities" are fan friendly, and some are not. Some look to extract every penny out of their fans, and some don't. Maybe it's just good business to treat your fans right. Good marketing tool to drink with listeneers - yup. Stern instead looks to put his events on pay-per view. You bring up the UPS driver analogy. Some people tip and/or thank their UPS driver if they do a good job. Some slam the door in their faces. You don't have to be buddies to treat someone right. | ||||
