[Dougie Brootal]

edit: nevermind, you gotta right click and save it.

[cupcakelove]

He turned this into, everybody hates him, he's so smart and successful, and OnA have no ratings. Way to have a grasp of what's going on.

[Dirtybird12]

[weekapaugjz]

[Dougie Brootal]

[torker]

Somebody please add him to the Fuck~O list.

[Midkiff]

[SinA]

that's right howard. you're next, if i have to do it myself.

[ralphbxny]

He doesnt get it. Stern never got it and never will.

[Dougie Brootal]

that's right howard. you're next, if i have to do it myself.

QFT!!! now i have to listen to his awful show to find something to get him kicked off!!

[Midkiff]

that's right howard. you're next, if i have to do it myself.

fuckin A. Let's demand Howard's firing.

[johnniewalker]

Howards a potty mouth.

[Midkiff]

Howard offends my gentle sensibilities.

[weekapaugjz]

i could only make it about half way through that clip. howard is a self-important ass and robin should have been the one homeless charlie was talking about.

[PAT BATEMAN]

he is such a cocky douche I hope says something stupid and feels the heat, he think he is untouchable and he is not. if these group really wanted to make some wave go after hoo hoo, he is the biggest name in radio

[Dirtybird12]

What happened to everyone who was jumping on the "freedum of speech" bandwagon?

in a matter of minutes all the new freedom fighters have become al sharptons - calling for the firing of someone who is practicing the right you claim to be fighting for / canceling subs over.

what happened to "people need thicker skins"

radio is magic lol


consistancy... give it a try folks.

i call it "a taste of his own bullshit" and i'll be bringing it to sharpton too.

i'm gonna starting a new group, the PeopleForSelectiveCensorship and i'll demand the firing of people i don't like.

[Dirtybird12]

if your not with us.....



Some actually like both shows and think both sides make valid points.
If that means "im against you" - so be it.


This isnt a stern vs o&a thing.
I just think its weird how you could call for someone to be fired for speaking his mind.
it' comes off sounding very hypocritical and IMO devalues the excellent points you have all made earlier...

[LisaNY]

i could only make it about half way through that clip. howard is a self-important ass and robin should have been the one homeless charlie was talking about.

You made it further than I did!!

Where the hell did it turn into all about Howard??

He is such an ass I cant even say his name without puking in my mouth a little!!

:wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

[Aqualad]

Hoo hoo, I invented suspensions.

[pennington]

Right. He's so successful they can't do anything to him, they're all after him, nobody helped him, he's so above everyone that he doesn't even know who doesn't like him.

BTW, whatever happened to that animated show about his childhood that was going to be the biggest thing on FX? And whatever happened to that talk show that Robin was going to do that was going to make her the next Oprah?

[Dan G]

What happened to the 4 remaining Golden Tickets?

i dunno. maybe when opie asked stern for help? "how bout it howie?"

I for one was hoping that would've been the case.
I was a little disapointed in Sterns stance...but can kind of understand his point.
Like the clip says - he didnt want to be drug into this - but "they" drug him into this - he replied.

[moochcassidy]

there was talk of opie calling in to offer a truce..that would be humiliating

[johnniewalker]

there was talk of opie calling in to offer a truce..that would be humiliating

I can't see opie calling howard, he did make fun of opie's dad dying pretty brutally

[drjoek]

Howard offends my gentile sensibilities.

Fixed it for ya

[Midkiff]

Fixed it for ya

:lol:

[hfs1103]

"you mean I wouldn't have to go to work and they pay me...fucking treat."

That pretty much sums up his desire to do anything. Remember when he used to play the role of the rebel?

[Soupy_Dreck]

Stern is still a douche. the only reason Opie would want him in this fight is because of his name recognition. but once again, its all about stern and what's in it for him

[Dirtybird12]

there was talk of opie calling in to offer a truce..that would be humiliating


no way Mooch. I disagree.

Dude people are losing jobs over this bullshit.
If both sides came together to fight the real enemy - the numbers would speak volumes.
Fighting each other (for now) isnt helping



Like Opie said - when all this shit os over, we can go back to bashing each other.
Have to respect Opie for at least trying. I think he's looking at the big picture.
For both shows to eat a lil crow - would be worth it for the future.

[Soupy_Dreck]

"you mean I wouldn't have to go to work and they pay me...fucking treat."

isn't he already doing that? he doesn't work that much and he's still getting paid.

[AKA]

I can't see opie calling howard, he did make fun of opie's dad dying pretty brutally

Produce audio.

[badorties]

he's always has and gonna spin things his way, just as most hosts ...

[Dougie Brootal]

ize jus teezin!

[timmins]

This is the first time I've heard Howard's voice in several years. I'm trying to remain non-inflammatory but if I had to compare the level of substance Ron puts on the waves vs. Howard... I'm beside myself in disbelief that Howard still has a mic in front of him.

Holy cripes that was uneventful and characterless.

[mikeyboy]

Produce audio.

Seriously. I heard the same thing about Don & Mike and Anthony refuted that personally.

[hfs1103]

I have a few friends who still talk about how great Howard is. The trick is to ask them to tell you about anything that was funny or interesting that happened on the show. Usually half way through explaining something they lose steam when they realize it's kind of stupid and corny. My example is always in the same week Howard had some 19 year old girl that was doing an above 60 year old gangbang or something and had someone in the studio spit on her. the same week Ron and Fez had Sydney Pollack talk about his movie, relationship and alittle history on Frank Gehry. Maybe the days of porn chicks getting off on the radio was entertaining when I was in high school but I'm older now.(plus I have high speed internet and a credit card)

[johnniewalker]

Seriously. I heard the same thing about Don & Mike and Anthony refuted that personally.

Im pretty sure this was a while ago when opie's dad died...I know it got talked about by O and A. He died about 3 years ago, and if you do a search on google people talk about it. I've never heard the audio so I don't know, but its not like i just made this up.

As much as i hate quoting a messageboard this was from Sternfannetwork
"as much of pricks they are they have limits and they don't make fun of the dead..
The took the subject on gary's dad very respectfull and only ragged on howard unlike
how howard ragged on Anthony's or Opie's dad when he died."

[AKA]

Some Stern fans were brutal, but I heard nothing from him.

Howard did trash Mancow when his father died about 10+ years ago.

I really think it's bullshit, like a lot of the stuff out there.

No...you do the work and find it, if you are going to make these statements. The burden is not on Mikeyboy (or me).

Onto what Perry said, however, it would be a true sign of being above it all if everyone with a vested interest in provacative talk radio put aside petty bullshit and saw the big picture. D&M have been very vocal in supporting O&A in this and Imus, and there is no great love story between any of them (also I heard both D&M wish Fezzie well yesterday on his return). Maybe it's where you put yourself in the food chain, but it would be a real classy sign for Howard to take up a cause he supposedly has owned for 20 years, on behalf of "enemies"

[johnniewalker]

No...you do the work and find it, if you are going to make these statements. The burden is not on Mikeyboy (or me).


Seriously its a messageboard chill out. I remember it from an old o and show. There there's your disclaimer, take whatever you want from it. Jesus.

totally chilled out - but I will respond if someone is telling Mikeyboy to do their work for them, especially when it's Final 3 time on Big Brother.

[Recyclerz]

he is such a cocky douche I hope says something stupid and feels the heat, he think he is untouchable and he is not. if these group really wanted to make some wave go after hoo hoo, he is the biggest name in radio

Although I was never a Stern fan and reallydon't care about him enough to get worked up to hate him vicariously through O&A, I would have to say the contract he has with Sirius makes him about as untouchable as you can get. Sirius could never eat that contract and survive, merger or not, and, aside from Mel Karmazin's experience and chutzpah, Stern is the only valuable asset they've got. Howie is virtually a de facto co-CEO over there.

And, although I haven't listened to any of his shows (O&A clips aside) in years, I doubt he has the energy or desire to talk about anything edgier than himself anymore.

[wonderwoman]

He turned this into, everybody hates him, he's so smart and successful, and OnA have no ratings. Way to have a grasp of what's going on.

I agree but you know hoo-hoo that's his M.O.

[johnniewalker]

totally chilled out - but I will respond if someone is telling Mikeyboy to do their work for them, especially when it's Final 3 time on Big Brother.

Alright, I think this was the discussion, i've found it mentioned several times but once again i'm quoting a messageboard.

Then Opie mentioned Howard said that he would f*** Opie's father's skull. I remember this conversation on Howard's show about a month ago, although I forget who it was with.
The guest made reference to Mancow, and how Howard said he would F*** hid dead father's skull because Mancow sent one of Howard's interns a box of sh*t. Then the guest asked if he would do the same to Opie's father skull and Howard said, "No, I'd f*** OPIE's dead skull".

The exchange was mentioned in a show recap on Marksfriggin, with Dice so who knows what actually got said,"Dice said he started doing their show and New York started to get hot on him again so he was able to sell out the Beacon Theater and then had the chance to do the Garden again. He said that it was incredible that he was able to do that for his son. Dice said that he did the Opie and Anthony show the day before the Garden show and Anthony was doing an impression of him. Dice said that Mancow eventually became his friend over the years. He said he knows that Howard has a thing with him... Howard said he doesn't have a thing, he just wants to fuck his father's dead skull. Dice said that's what he doesn't like when he does stuff like that and asked Howard to do that when he's not there."

Btw, i never said mikey should do his research i just i said i didn't know but it was mentioned places on google.

[Death Metal Moe]

I don't have to listen to the audio to know what he said.

Everyone copies him, the bit was boring, Hoo Hoo is untouchable, everyone rides his coat tails, Hoo Hoo Robin show me your cans, then they played a sound effect from lvoer 10 years ago.

Fuck him, he's next. And if the PC Police, Corperations and Special Interest groups succeed in taking O&A and Ron and Fez from me, I won't stand and fight for Stern.

[reillyluck]

although Stern should have the right to say what he wants, just like many other radio hosts. he's still a phucking asshat. plain and simple.

[drjoek]

I downloaded the clip and got a minute and a half into it when I remembered how much I can't stand that self oabsorbed prick I think he said he was so succesful three time in that minute FUCK HIM HE HAS NOTHING TO ADD TO ANYTHING

[docgoblin]

DITTO! :clap:

[Leticia]

Howard Stern makes me so mad.

He's such an idiot. It's just absolutely amazing how he takes this and makes it about him. Argh! So everyone else is having problems and being fired and suspended because they are not as successful as he is. What?!


Ahhhhhhh. Ok. Howard Stern is not for supporting anything unless it directly affects him. Which apparently it won't cause he's soooo successful.

I hate Howard Stern.

[moochcassidy]

no way Mooch. I disagree.

Dude people are losing jobs over this bullshit.
If both sides came together to fight the real enemy - the numbers would speak volumes.

youre just shiteing yerself cause fake radio is top of the list for these wackos.

perry. if they come after the circus there will be MILLIONS of freaks on the streets..we'll take the fuckin streets OVER man..the squares'll be off their trumpet.

[dereckfishboy]

My favorite part is when master comedian Robin Quivers knocked Imus and JV and Elvis for not being funny.......hmmmm..... the pot calling the kettle (radio edit)..........

[Dirtybird12]

fake radio is untouchable because it doesnt exist... get it?

it's also unlistenable


sorry perry... you've peaked.

[Sleeves]

I haven't listened to Howard for a long time...but I did think that he traveled in the same "shocking" territory as O&A - so it was weird from my perspective to hear him find the Condeleeza Rice stuff off-limits...

It just sounded like the sort of thing he'd say...

Eh... seems like he'll take the stance against whoever he's talking about and whatever they did for the sole purpose of keeping himself in his own mind as the pariah and the outcast so that he can resort to his "they're out to get me" mantra when anything in his life goes awry....

I think Perry has a very valid interesting point. You all, you forget where your priorities are at. Most of you the people who have responded up to about the post that I'm quoting are proving yourselves to be, dare I say it, douchebag hypocrites. It's alright for censorship of someone else whom you don't like, but if it's someone you DO like, then it's not alright?

We're all in this together- but if you wish to be fractured and splintered and have no real consistency whatsoever with your arguments for free speech, then you just sound like a lot of spoiled rotten children who do not honestly believe in the shit you're spewing. And that devalues all the legitimate arguments made in defense of Imus, JV and Elvis, and now O&A that have been made on this board thus far. And it damages EVERYONE'S credibility- so think twice before you say some dumb ignorant shit like "He should be fired for his opinions!". You're damaging the entire cause for anti-censorship in this country by being so fickle and bendable in the first place. Where's your conviction? Is it solely based in the fact that they might take your toys away? This isn't just about YOU...you're no better than Stern if you're that self-centered.

And don't give me 'HE SAID WUB WUHHH!' Sure, you can hate him and be outraged. Sure you have the right to call for his firing. But it proves all your whining and yelling for free speech to be airy bullshit that no one should take seriously since it's coming from YOU. I hate Stern with a passion, hated him long before I knew of O&A, mainly because he slandered Columbine, saying the kids deserved to be shot, and since one of my friends was involved in the shootings there, it made me hate him alot. But I never once felt he should have been removed from the airwaves for that opinion. I just opted never to listen to him. And that policy stands to this day.

God damn it. It's like you people calling for his firing are a bunch of 9 year olds who got your toys stepped on and now you want to step on someone else's.

Hah! I noticed it as I was reading it over, said 'fuck it', and kept it in there.

[Don Stugots]

who really thought that he was going to come on and say "Ok, this is bullshit. I am taking charge of this. Robin, give me my sword,"? Did anyone expect him to walk into his studio and like Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction? his twat chick was in New York Magazine a few weeks ago saying how happy he was that IMUS was gone. he doesnt get it and he never will.

[Enabler]

who really thought that he was going to come on and say "Ok, this is bullshit. I am taking charge of this. Robin, give me my sword,"?


That made me laugh. I agree fully. His reaction really comes as no surprise to me. What surpirses me is how fast people (myself included) are curious about what he has to say and "what he's going to do about it" or whatever. What can he really do? Its up to the good people at PAC to save us and we all know it.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Stern has too much money to give a shit about anything anymore.

If I had his cash, I would be the same way.

[MasterSoySauce]

i dont remember them mentioning stern, did miss something?

[J.Clints]

Fuck Stern

[MasterSoySauce]

didnt he complain alot about free speech?

[torker]

i dont remember them mentioning stern, did miss something?
Opie extended an on-air olive branch of sorts.

[Doctor Manhattan]

i dont remember them mentioning stern, did miss something?

They may not have mentioned him directly (I thought Opie did) but they did say enemies need to unite, they can go back to hating each other later.

[blade]

Not Surprised. Typical Howard. Why would anyone go after him anyway? You have to have listeners for someone to get offened.

If you tell an offensive Joke on thr air and nobody is listening is it really offensive?

DIC Holder since day one

[SinA]

If you tell an offensive Joke on thr air and nobody is listening is it really offensive?


anymore, i gotta say it probably is.

i am glad someone laughed at that. i worked hard on it.

[cougarjake13]

What happened to the 4 remaining Golden Tickets?

charlie's got em

[Heather 8]

didnt he complain alot about free speech?

Only about his right to free speech. He was pretty smug when he admitted to demanding that Mel gag O&A.

[Dash77]

1 word....DICK

[MrTwister]

I downloaded the clip and got a minute and a half into it when I remembered how much I can't stand that self oabsorbed prick I think he said he was so succesful three time in that minute FUCK HIM HE HAS NOTHING TO ADD TO ANYTHING

I really remember now why I stopped listening to him, and
remembered why I couldn't buy a new Shelby Mustang..
because it came with friggin Sirius....

Well, low and behold.. next spring, they are coming out with
a limited number of Shelby KR Mustangs, I had better
be able to get a XM in that bitch... for SRP of $53K, they dealer
had better rip out that Sirius boat anchor, flush it down the toliet
and fuch his mother.... then have me a sweet ass XM receiver
installed...

[tbagnu]

he is such a fucking tool!!!!...he has no ratings also!!!...he is such a dried up douche-bag!!..i shudder to think that i once enjoyed his show back in the day!!!

[Johnny4]

he is such a fucking tool!!!!...he has no ratings also!!!...he is such a dried up douche-bag!!..i shudder to think that i once enjoyed his show back in the day!!!

Just when I thought I was out, stupidity pulls me back in. Yes, he has no ratings BECAUSE HE IS ON SIRIUS ONLY! He doesn't ever need ratings again. He's worth 600 MILLION! He can dare anyone to ever fire him.Honestly, a 2 minute clip and everyone starts fingerblasting themselves. All he did was respond to Opie's snivelling request on "How about it Howard?". Could you imagine what O and A would be saying if the situation were reversed? He gave them a pass and was basically saying "Don't think I'm dumb enough to let you drag me into your bullshit". He's a better man than me, I'd be taking a much bigger dump on them if they attacked my family the way they attacked his. One more thing, HE NEVER said anything about Opie's Dad, that was made up pest mularkey. I'm even more psyched for the merger now, I get free baseball, Ron and Fez and don't have to waste an extra second of my life blocking out THE VIRUS! It was like a free shot of penicillin.

[Midkiff]

Ron and Fez and don't have to waste an extra second of my life blocking out THE VIRUS! It was like a free shot of penicillin.

You can eat a dick. This is a R&F board. Don't come in here insulting them. We're all helping your boys O&A, you should be thanking us.

it wasnt him that said anything about opie's dad, that was Dice.

[MyCheesy]

your an idiot. Re-read what he wrote. He was happy that he will have ron and fez, he doesnt like dopie and anthony. He was just saying that its great now that they are off the air so he doesnt have to void them.

Not all Ron and Fez fans like the 2 douches o&a.

[Johnny4]

You can eat a dick. This is a R&F board. Don't come in here insulting them. We're all helping your boys O&A, you should be thanking us.
Reading comprehension , we need to work on that. I've never been taken out of context before, I feel like a celebrity.

[TooLowBrow]

Could you imagine what O and A would be saying if the situation were reversed?
i think they'd be smart enough to put personal differences to the side and at least talk about how free speech is seemingly becoming a thing of the past for radio. They did it with JV and Elvis. Stern thinks he can stand apart from radio's attacks, but soon it will be his day in the barrel. (the barrel is where they make you suck dick)

[Don Stugots]

Only about his right to free speech. He was pretty smug when he admitted to demanding that Mel gag O&A.

peachy is moving up on my list.

[Midkiff]

Reading comprehension , we need to work on that. I've never been taken out of context before, I feel like a celebrity.

My bad. I was in a flurry of protest last night. I still had to read it three times to see the problem.

I don't like the pro-Stern tone, though.

[JustJon]

peachy is moving up on my list.

sorry, I saw her first.

[Sweet_Ness]

He doesnt get it. Stern never got it and never will.

comprehension is different on planet Hoo Hoo

So it really is true - all the good ones are taken.

I give up.

I could give two shits about Stern or O&A, but in fairness I listened to Stern's clip. He made an interesting claim about free speech at the end of his little rant and made a point that NOBODY ever stood up for his first amendment rights in the radio business.

But there is a funny thing called history. In 1987 Stern was under attack from the FCC. Radio broadcasters throughout the country went after the FCC on behalf of Howard Stern and an FCC ruling about "indecent speech".

Here is a link to a classic Bob Lassiter monologue from April 23, 1987 in defense of Howard Stern. Link to clip here. (http://www.boblassiterairchecks.com/monologues/wplp042387.mp3)

So is Howard a liar or a forgetful old man?

A little bit of both as usual, and I'm more than happy to admit that. When do people stop talking about this freedom of speech thing? There is no talk of the FCC, government intervention and Condy never made a statement(to her credit). This is about corporate America, media buying and sponsors. It's also about the merger and where O and A stand on the totem pole.It turns out they are much lower than they thought they were.

I get your point about the free speech/corporate speech thing. But Stern brought it up and that's why it's a complete double standard.

I know I'm new to the boards, but really, If you've been a fan or even remotely in the loop, you would know Stern wasn't gonna jump on the bandwagon. He jumped at the chance to say how "wrong" O&A were with the whole church thing, what makes you think he's gonna change his stripes now? Yeah, In a perefect world maybe he would get off his high horse long enough to help out the cause, but we don't live in a perfect world. I just think it's funny how he cried about how the bush was censoring him those last few years.
but the point is, wasting energy on ripping howard DOES defeat the purpose. let him say whatever he wants, calling for his head is conterproductive. you can't have it both ways.

Oh, Howard's going to say to his brainwashed fans "I'll never get fired because I'm too powerful, I can say what I want," but behind the scenes, he will indeed water down and tame down the show. He just will lie about doing it.

Say what you want about ol' Howie, but you can't call him dumb. For all his bravado and bluster, I think he knows that he's not safe. You'll never catch him admitting it, but he knows. And the show will change to reflect that.

During his last days of terrestrial radio, Howard was susupended for one day for mentioning Sirius too much. He was on the next day. Why? Because CBS sold so much advertising time, they couldn't screw with him. He has an iron clad contract with Sirius(learned from mistakes on the past) and is a major stockholder(200 million in shares), so no, they really can't mess with him. That's why he is laughing at the thought of a suspension. Suspend me and bankrupt your company. He is actually in that position.

it's all about howard.
