I was in my car this morning around 9am and decided to put on 92.3. He was talking about how great he was, how the papers, tabloid & tabloid TV shows take his interviews and don't credit him... fine... whatever. Then a woman calls up and tells him that the interview with Jessica Hahn was so old, (which of course it is), and he gives his "well, some things are new, some people like it, blah, blah"

Then it gets interesting. She asks if he saw Rolling Stone Article - about how his ratings are dropping. He says "my ratings are not dropping" (a lie), "it is just the religious right giving him trouble (wrong, his NY numbers are down, and religious right has no influence here), "People are always trying to knock me down", etc.

Then she mentions that Stone says O&A are the up and comming personalities (a fan?). This is where he gets bad. "Opie and Anthony? well, there are a lot of clones around. How can anyone be better than me if they're copying me?". He then starts on a "Rolling Stone has an agenda" thread, and "What do you want from a magazine with Justin Timberlake on the cover" blah blah blah. The back with "This started when another station put on all sorts of imitators" "Opie and Anthony are on in afternoon; If anyone wants to say they are better than me, let them go up against me in the mornings". What drivel.

I like hearing O&A on in afternoons when I can really listen, but sometimes I wish they took the Clear Channel deal and kicked his ass.

Stern in his warped mind labels O & A "clones". But he believes his show his better, so I actually believe Stern is willing to faceoff with any WNEW show, especially O & A. But that decision is up to CBS\Infinity.

Did he actually say their names? At least he proclaimed that he could beat them in the morning. (prpbably because he knows Infinity won't put them against each other) Why doesn't he just go off. I don't get it. It's like watching your tough, big brother get pushed around and humiliated.

Well, he kinda pussied.

He mentioned Opie & Anthony, and he mentioned "others" going up against him in the morning.

It was a rant, O&A obviously the main (but not only) target.

Nitron -

It was part of Stern's last contract - the no compete clause.

That was one of O&A's pet peeves - WXRK was allowed to program against them, but WNEW was not allowed to put anything similar against stern - hence the "Sports Guys".

And Fandick,
Once again he gave his "In 4 years I'll leave and be done with this". 8 years ago, I believed this. Now it is simply tiresome.

Someone should clue him in that if he'd stop being a whiney bastard, he might be funny again.
Just be honest; people will respect it.

This is his problem - he is no longer honest. By being a regular person and speaking out when others wouldn't for fear of losing sponsorship or a job is what made him the self-proclaimed king of all media. Now, he is Pussah-Stern who does nothing but interview the same batch of lesbians and celebrities day in and day out. Its not fresh anymore, and the listeners are starting to notice. Is O&A any fresher than Stern if they have lesbians on? No, but the way in which they have them on is (lesbian for a day, etc.). What worked 10 years ago doesn't work anymore, but in his mind he feels he shouldn't have to change - and that will be his downfall.

1,517 days until his contract is up.

Stern is a pussy now. A while back he had these two sisters on his show who where making out. These girls were in bikini's and were F-ing hot. Now they were ready to go alot further than kissing. He immediatley stopped them and said he couldn't watch anymore, it was wrong. Now if O&A had these two girls there, the couch would have been in the room pronto, and there would have been alot more than kissing going on. Point made......

Here's what it boils down to:

Stern's Iron grip radio empire is beginning to crumble, and mentioning O&A by name is one of the signs that he is admitting defeat.
A few years ago, Stern had the fire, and energy, and the fight, to take on his competition, and his competition did what he said, by rolling over and playing dead.
But now, you have a new breed of Shock Jocks, like O&A, who don't listen to anyone, and do their own show. This scares Stern, so he really had no choice but to resort to cowardly attacks because he found out his word means nothing.
You see, Hollywood blew so much smoke up Stern's ass, he began believeing it, and his own lies. The result, his Ego became to big too feed, which in turn results in losing his fanbase, respect, and people who use to hang out with him, not to mention his ex-wife and kids.
Sometimes, it doesn't pay to be part of the beautiful people.
I'm placing bets that we're gonna find out that Stern commits suicide a couple of years from now.
He'll be founbd in the bathtub naked, with his wrists slit, and the words everyone is ripping me off, hoo hoo hoo, as his last words either written in blood on the bathroon wall, or on a piece of paper written with a marker.



Everyone has a reason to live.
My reason is to piss off my opposition because I enjoy their misery.

Ya gotta hand it to Captain Chaos for adding fuel to the fire, MikeWOW.
But hey, You land some good punches too, Mike, it's not all me.
I only call from the info I gather each passing day.
If Stern didn't act like the Hollywood shitbag he is right now, I'd still listen to him. Unfortunately, He's just a Whiny cunt that I've lost interest in and bitch about.
But hey we got WAAF now to thrash!



Big brother to some, Enemy to others, friend to all on the board.

Finely tuning FANDICK for the O&A Army, and I have one position available

Just to clarify things, I listened very closely to that segment to see if he would say anything specifically about them, and he did not use their names. The caller said their names and the Rolling Stone quote and then said "..it made me sick to my stomach". She was not a fan. Howard did go off on a rant about the clones and the religious right, as well as Rolling Stone. The only comment he made directly concerning Opie and Anthony were "..those guys are on in the afternoon anyway." and sort of challenged them to air in the morning. He talked of his company "putting on all these clones and sometimes its bad and sometimes its...", but he never finished the sentence. He just said he'd rather not talk about other these shows. But he didnt mention their names. Also Im tired of this "I just happened to tune in.." bullshit. If you hate Stern, dont listen to him. Dont make any posts related to him. He said it today "If Ive ceased to be funny, dont listen". Most of you bitch more than you think he does.

I never really got what the deal was with Stern. I've turned into his show multiple times and he always bores the hell out of me. You can bet your ass that if they had to choose between either him or O & A for a time slot, they'd pick O & A. I just think it sucks that the same guys own both of their contracts so we won't see something like that.

Blake,

If you listened closer than I did, I'll assume you are correct - I was in my car at 65 MPH, and it was a while before I could finish post with work & all.

Don't go off where you don't belong. As I have said before here, I listened religiously to Stern from about 85 to 99. I was a tremendous fan. I, like others, think he lost it. Fine.
However, there is NOTHING ON in the morning here in NYC. Sports Guys were decent with Sid, but now are nothing. Imus is Old, and only decent with some guests. WXRK is playing Stern, so no music. the other music stations insist on talking in the morning, when they have no talent.
Stern isn't what he was, but sometimes he is OK. That is why I occasionally tune in. I don't have an agenda. But when he acts like a dick, he deserves to be called on it. If you check my posts, I never condemn reasonable Stern supporters - but that doesn't mean Stern should be able to go on his mountain and spout half truths. The Same Stern who always complained that he was the outsider who fought for his freedom of speech now would prefer to silence others who might be competition.

The truth always need to be spoken.
Stay here and be enlightened, or keep the fog around your brain - your choice.

Quiddity,
Stern is the horse that Mel Karmazin rode to lead the Infinity charge. Young Stern helped build the empire. Now Mel is beholden to old man Stern. It would not be financially responsible for Infinity to put O&A on in mornings instead of Stern, when they can have strength in both markets; Thats why the boys almost went to Clear Channel. Some day this will change; just not yet.

That wasnt directed specifically at you, I meant in general. You admit that you like Stern on some level and still listen, then fine. Who Im talking about are the ones who claim to hate Stern, yet listen to him everyday and hang on to his every word. I see these so-called Stern-haters post about him everyday, complaing about the things he does and how much he sucks. This is to everybody who "hates" Stern: Dont post about himand dont listen. Save yourselves the frustration.

To tell you the truth I would not be so hard on the guy if I didn't love the hook nosed bastard so much. There has been no one better then Stern at his best but the truth is he is not that guy anymore.I blame his shrink for making him a pussy. I used to cry like a little bitch from laughter watching his channel 9 shows. When I listen to his show now I'm lucky if i get a chuckle. And you can call me a fag but this guy was my hero but i feel let down. It's kinda like watching Superman get his Ass kicked in Superman 2 when he gave up his powers for puntang. I do listen to his show now, but only to see if he can get enough Ballies to mention O+A. It all comes down to this America loves the Underdog and Stern has become the establishment.
