For what it is worth, Opie and Anthony are not at all like that. Bubba is a hundred times more hackey radio, in my opinion. O&A are more just poo poo around and bullshit, much like Howard. And prior to the bad blood, they used to talk about what big fans they were. Anthony was even on Howard once during a contest. burmart posted:"Bubba the Love Sponge."

Bubba is a hack, he shocks vaginas and throws poo poo into a fan and sells the video on ebay to his fans along with Bubba Nascar Mud Flaps or whatever. I never got Bubba, he seems like generic talk radio with no censors. He is the radio equal of punching a dude in the dick. Sure, it's funny, but it's just punching a dude in the dick. I'm pretty sure he has a radio bit called "Punch (guy with a funny name) in the dick". Jack and Rod show for life.

So when interesting people are on the show, it is interesting? Sounds like Howard 2.0 - I tried listening to them a few times, but seems each time it was just them complaining about stuff and inviting callers to call in and bitch along with them, droning out time complaining about poo poo people with complain about to each other, instead of calling up a radio show and wasting my time. I love Louis CK, the times when he is on sounds interesting, but I'd rather listen to the Louis CK show. Not two guys yucking it up between interesting people saying things. I guess I'm becoming Howard, too old to try anything new, comfortable in the groove. Leave me alone, let me be.

In my dream radio, Howard is better when he doesn't have a big guest on. I'm more a fan of the whack pack and all the kooks he brings in there and his stories about his life and his parents. I could care less if Steven Tyler had anal or a three way with his girlfriend.

I like Opie and Anthony, but the show has a very negative tone to it. I can only listen a few days at a time for that reason. All they do is complain - and it's not like, complaining to entertain the way Howard does it (most of the time, at least!) It's just two dudes bitching and moaning about everything and everyone. It is tough to listen to day after day. AxeManiac posted:In my dream radio, Howard is better when he doesn't have a big guest on.

Pretty much how I feel most days. Half the time when a guest comes in, I tune out. That said - when was the last time we heard a HowardTV Girl of the Month come in? I can't remember the last time I heard one of them come in. That is easily the worst part of the show, consistently.

I'd like to think he is doing that on purpose. He always filters his opinion through a maniac, letting them take the fall. Like Stuttering John was his sword for awhile, doing things Howard wanted to do, but didn't want to actually do. Letting them run rampant however wouldn't be entertaining. It would be like the Riley Martin show, it's only funny that it does exists and simply exists so Howard can cherry pick some content from it and shine a light on it.

If Howard gave them a show on Fridays with someone to host (I find John Hein annoying, but maybe he is the best one for the job since he is such an utter square) and keep them on point. Something live on the days he chooses to not work would be great!

burmart posted:For some reason I thought he was related to Fez from the Ron and Fez show. The O&A/Howard thing really goes back to when O&A got hired by Infinity after blowing up their gig in Boston and Gary and Howard started calling them "clones" because they wanted to be more of a talk show than a music show. They worked for the same company, on a different station, in a different day-part, but they were still getting poo poo from Stern. The only reason it became a thing is because O&A saw how Stern had destroyed other shows like John DeBella in Philly where the station managers had all advised, "just don't say anything and it will go away." They took a different route and mouthed back at him because they didn't want to go out like that. From there it escalated to a stupid "radio war" with a gag order finally put on O&A, and other shows like Don & Mike with the dump guys in New York dumping out anytime Howard was mentioned on their shows. The funny story O&A have told (and was confirmed by Mel when he came on their show after the merger) was when Mel Karmazin came back from a vacation to call O&A into his office to ask them, "What time do you get up in the morning and decide to gently caress me?" Howard later confirmed on Hannity that he had a gag order put on them and he's "for freedom of speech when it benefits me." Anyway, radio wars are stupid and I've never understood the "I listen to this show, so I have to hate that show" mentality that some shows try to push their audience into. Here's some audio that came from a Ron & Fez web-cam post-show they used to do making fun of the shock jock radio genre in general that you guys might find funny on it's own. It's about a fictional new show coming to the O&A/R&F channel called "Shock & Jock" with Ron and his producers Dave and Hicks just bullshitting, then cut up later into fake sweepers for the upcoming show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0riIK38M3M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H047K-QxcQ

I'd love a Sal and Richard show but I dont know what they'd talk about in the long run. Richard would probably end up talking about Halloween or his band which would get boring, and Sal would overdo it with sound effects. There would probably also be the inevitable fuckup that pisses Howard off which would be good for a while. Like Sal jerking off in Howard's chair or something.

I'm more a fan of the whack pack and all the kooks he brings in there and his stories about his life and his parents. I could care less if Steven Tyler had anal or a three way with his girlfriend. I can count the number of celeb interviews I've truly enjoyed(that didn't devolve into fights or arguing) on both hands throughout his entire career. I don't give a poo poo about celebs, the fighting and picking on people and whack packers are what have me crying tears of laughter. My desert island collection would have both weeks of Fight Week in it because I could listen to that stuff until the end of time. The worst thing about the show now isn't the boring, half-assed interviews it is the fact we don't have bits, staff in-fighting and whack packers to break up the monotony. The only staff members he picks on anymore is Gary and Ronnie because he feels too mean when he goes in on anyone else. Someone like Jason is just ripe for constant abuse because he's a fat, hairy freak who'd rather jerk off than gently caress his wife. Back when John was there and Jackie, the fighting almost never stopped. Robin and Fred were always fair game and Gary hosed up like twice a week and got yelled at constantly and then there were all the hilarious interns and whatnot like Grillo, Gange, etc. There's just no personality left to the show, its almost completely generic unless Sal and Richard start jousting with their cocks.

I didn't think you were trying to stir up a shitstorm... I was just playing along with the Booey-speak. Whenever someone says anything critical on The Wrap-Up Show, he and Jon Hein are both guilty of informing the caller that they're entitled to their opinion, but they don't agree. It comes off so incredibly condescending and has always made me angry.

This reminded me of something from a few years ago. THey played a clip of Imus, who had some guy on his show call up, doing an "I is be black" routine, talking about how he banged Beth O, trashing her and so on. Howard and Beth were upset, rightfully so I guess. But Howard got SO pissed off "they were implying that she has sex with BLACK MEN" A WHITE WOMAN HAVING INTERRACIAL SEX WITH A BLACK MAN. Insert sal apology joke here. And then he has a porn star in the sutdio, "you ever do scenes with black guys?. Yes? Really"!! THen a regular girl who happens to be a guest, "You've had sex with black guys? WOW, you're so wild"!! Black men, people, BLACK MEN. Also, I fuckin hate Grillo, Tracey Millman is right, he is a fuckin piece of poo poo douche. He keeps going on about looking for his big break in acting. He reminds me of that guy who's 40 year old, still lives in his mom's basement, in a band. "Yo man, next year my band is gonna hit it BIG, when we save up the 500 bucks to cut our album we're going to be HUGE"!! gently caress he's so obnoxious. Thanks for letting me vent.

Did something happen to the Carolla-Sirius deal? First it was "delayed for technical reasons", then at the end of today's podcast Adam went on a brief rant about those "assfuck clowns" at Sirius XM. It was in reference to their 80s channel, but even Adam has enough self-control to know that's a bad move if you just signed a deal. I wonder if it fell through already.

When Howard thinks of BLACK MEN he probably thinks of the kids in his school, violent and mean, hulking monsters and the idea of them ravaging his Beth is too much for him. You hear him all the time dropping hints, he hates to hear anything about Beth not being an fresh flower for him to pick. He was talking about his penis, and trying to say that Beth thought it was big, and he was about ready to say bigger than any other penis she had ever had and he caught himself and stopped. It was kind of strange. More so since his number one thing is making people talk about banging other people and letting their past be known in interviews. He seems to love telling people that stuff, YOUR WIFE SLEPT WITH THIS GUY AND THAT GUY! But yet he likes to go around talking about all the women he has had sex with. Shamelessly too. Sounds like he is threatening Beth half of the time because he can bang anyone he wants!!!

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me. Howard said something to the effect of "people that have wanted to be involved with the channels for a long time will be doing something soon" today. But, I find it weird that they haven't came out and said anything about Adam's podcast being played yet. My prediction; get ready for "Best Of" on Howard 101 for the rest of this contract. It is basically what everyone over there wants. Howard doesn't have to put any effort into it, Sirius doesn't have to pay a dime really and the average Supermark that listens to those channels 24/7 just wants to hear Howard. You will start to see stuff like Superfan Roundtable and Intern Show go away while the more popular programing like Miserable Men and Geektime will go elsewhere, possibly on Mondays and Fridays respectively to make up for the lack of live Howard. Does anyone find it really disturbing that Sirius/XM had no backup plan for Bubba not resigning? It has been over a month and they still can't figure out what to do. It really can't look good to the stockholders and prospective investors in general. You basically force out some of your only good talent with no plan on what to do to replace him. The only thing worse than having a bad plan is no plan. Sirius seems like they can do both at the same time. It really seems indicative of the entire company.

I really find it amusing that Howard hates the iPhone, has gone through multiple blackberries and has settled on the droid. Probably the most difficult OS to use out of the entire bunch. Also, I love his impersonation of Oprah's sister. He's dead on about how that relationship will end.
