Agreed O&A perfected the radio show. Stern was the man but he has totally lost his touch.
he didn’t lose his touch, he was regulated and they arent, of course thier show is now more entertaining, they don’t have restrictions, sterns on sirius will be awsome
Im sure it will be awesome but the last year has been crappy not just because the FCC its because that all he talked about. I really only lol’d once this past year for shu shu retarded flu. Funniest stern bit ever but i still stand by the fact that O&A were way better. If you went to the beach party they did you would know what im talking about.
When O&A were on regular radio they were better than Stern. Stern is going to learn the hard way that being able to swear and say whatever you want makes it tougher to make things funny. You lose the shock value that you had on radio saying that a girl took one in the dumper.
Now you can say she was fucked in the ass and thats just not as funny.
Rob you were at the beach party??? I heard about that. Wish I could have been there. It sounded INSANE!
Im a big stern fan, I liked O&A when they were on 92.9 but not better than stern. Sirius will bury XM with stern.
To each his own. When they were both on 92.9 I found myself turning Stern off in the mornings but making time to listen to O&A in the afternoons. I think they have the same sense of humor that my friends and I have so I relate better to it.
If you dont like him, don’t listen to him. Easy as that.
You guys are absolutely right, he is no longer able to do his show the way he used to… which is why he is making this move. If he no longer had passion, he would have retired and had fun with his millions instead of getting up at 4am every morning to go to work.
edit: I like O&A as well, but they never would have gotten where they are without howard. Did you know Opie went to Geneseo?
Yeah i was there And there were plenty of naked sluts, dildos, and drunken fun. How can you tell it was a great party?? Because as i was passing tally ho strippers they were complaining that the other strippers had no class!!! Hearing that come out of a skanky strippers mouth means you are at one fucked up party. Just dont tell my mom i was there 
And i agree with you about making time to hear them. I would have no problem turning stern off in the morning but on the way home from work i would actually sit in my driveway till a commercial came on so i could hear the rest of the show in my house. It was very entertaining stuff. And yes they wouldn’t have a show if it wasnt for stern but they perfected what he started.
werd… stern sucks
I used to like listening to him way back when, but over the past 3 or so years, it’s just gotten to the point where I dont even bother.
O&A > stern. plain and simple.
I think he used to DJ for a local radio station too… maybe 103 the fox? I forgot.
lol used to coment for xfl aswell
Hahaha
i love O and A…and i love stern. i have to say i didnt appreciate stern as much until i did some research on him.
after reading his books i have a completely different respect for his intelligence. he is a really smart guy in a marketing sense as well as philisophical, social, etc. he really does get a bad wrap for being a “shock jock” but then again he is the one with 500 million dollars for what he does…and we are sitting here talking about it. i mean there has to be something said for his following.
so yeah i love O and A, they made me laugh a ton when they were on wbuf, and when i hear the shit they do on Xm it sounds funny, but howard stern still paved the way for them to do what they do, that cant be denied
Yeah Opie used to DJ at 103 in the graveyard shift. He also interned for Brother Weeze in Rochester. And yes he went to Geneseo.
XFL?? Whats that?? (trying to forget)
Im pretty sure he was on 103, Hes still friends with Shredd. As a matter of fact he gave them an interview while he was on suspension that was a pretty good interview from what i remember.
LOL he hate me!
opie worked for brother wease too
:ohnoes:
I’ll admit that Stern made the “shock jock” thing famous, but there were others before him. There is a guy who actually died close to the time that Stern was in his prime who did many of the bits that Stern does years before him. I can’t think of his name now…damnit. And there was Imus who gets a bad rap from Stern but when I actually sit and listen to Imus, hes pretty funny. He is a total douche and doesn’t give a shit about anything. Hes got a dry sense of humor that I kind of enjoy.
So anyway, Sterns ability for gaining public attention is what garnered him the title of being the first Shock Jock but he surely was not.
I will not take anything away from what he did for radio, because he did a lot and he did pave the way for other big name jocks, but to call him the creator or edgy radio is not accurate.
What a joke.
^^^he may be a joke…but he is still in the NFL… :lol:
lol I think that beach party sealed my love for O&A hahahaha… there are no words to describe that day. I was just floored when I walked onto the beach lol
it’s funny how things work too… I was underage at the time and couldnt get into rats. While getting drunk from the sidelines I ended up giving some random dude on the beach a bud for his wristband. :tup: lol it was awesome… I wish they’d come to buffalo again 
:word: If not for Stern, I’d have no need for Satellite radio at all…
Did anybody catch the show yesterday though? With Jackie on there it really hit home how much better the show was with him on it. Artie just doesn’t compare to what Jackie brought to the show.
I am hoping I’m wrong, but I think the new uncensored version of the show won’t be as good as the show was in the old days.
