Ironically, Howard is probably responsible for all the pampering O&A received

[Mick_Mickerson]

There was no shock jock craze. There was O&A and Stern. The media were calling political dinosaurs and hacks like Imus and Rush Limbaugh 'shock jocks'. Stern's entire shock jock image of Fartman and Private Parts was a total failure. Stern himself has failed everywhere but radio and likely should be considered a failure on satellite unless you only count money as success. Pretty much no other shock jock show had any long term presence in radio. People like Mancow were mostly out of the top ten in ratings. The Greaseman had to buy airtime on stations to get a job.

O&A's success came from the Mayor is Dead prank. Had nothing to do with Stern whatsoever. Their work at WAAF and stuff that is mocked now but was massive back then like Demented World pushed them into the mainstream in lots of areas. And they did it all on their own. They just mixed it up with Howard because he worked for CBS as well and tried to sabotage their careers.

This idea that Stern was influential in radio is false. He never made another show as some kingmaker and his other ventures like television shows and his movie were disasters that hurt his image more than helped. Who came from Stern other than Artie? And even then Beer League saw zero interest from Stern listeners and was a flop that anyone could have "shit out their ass" according to Sal. O&A made Rogan which dwarfs basically all other radio show influence. Pretty much every comedy podcast is a poor imitation of O&A at this point and not of Stern.

What radio shows or comedians now come from Stern? He had nothing that worked outside of his terrestrial career. Stern arguably peaked in the late 80s or early 90s in the Jackie, Gilbert, and Kinison years. He had a good resurgence with Artie until 2006 and Sirius. But that was the extend of his popularity.

Neither of us will be able to definitively disprove the other wrong but acting like Howard Stern wasn't a household name vs. O&A is nuts. O and A weren't even on in Calif!

As misguided as the Sirius execs clearly are, there is at least a semblance of a reason they're giving Howie $500M and O and A are doing...what they're doing. It's not because they were equally popular.

I really don't care what it is. If you expect me to perform for you on my time, there will be a fee. That's how time works when other people want it. They want you to do something, you don't want to, so they pay you. That's life for 99% of people. Go ask Jim to perform a free comedy show just for you. Have Anthony do his show just for you on the arm. Hit up Sam for a free Cameo. Lemme know how that goes for you. Don't forget to call them all Jewish when you don't get your way and they ask for payment.

Do people really think I was trying to get rich and famous with a half dozen YouTube videos? There a literally a million creators out there. I wanted to teach myself Premier Pro and put some videos together. You retards act like I was pouring my heart and soul into my next financial success. It's some fuckin' YouTube videos my guy, it's not as big of a deal as you want it to be.

Hey, stupid, there's also a million guitarists out there and 99.999% of them post their shit all over the world looking to connect with other like minded musicians and don't immediately cry about zio-shekels for doing so, you fucking sand flea DNA.

Stop comparing your alleged guitar brilliance as if it's actually work talents such as "Hey, I heard you do magnificent landscaping! Let's see your work in action! Landscape my yard all day and night and if I like it when it's done maybe I'll pay you for it!" You're a fucking nobody with a guitar, Danny. Go ahead and open your discard and only let someone in with payment. You know what will happen, stupid?! Nobody will come!

With someone like you, Danny, the age old idiom of "Build it and they will come!" doesn't apply. Build up a podcast and they won't come. Open a "pay me" discord and nobody will show up. You seeing the pattern here, Dovid.

Blah blah blah with the excuses, dude. Either put up or shut the fuck up, kike. And no, I know you'd love for me to say "put out," but I said put up, stupid. You fucking flaming faggot.

 

[BenDovid]

I didn't read this, I just assume you're broke and don't want to pay for services.

You can pay me like $50 for a private Discord call and I'll play guitar for you. Pretty easy.

 

[HeyItsVos]

You've been hitting me up for guitar videos for the last 2 hours. The way you obsess over other men is curious. That's all. I dislike plenty of people. I don't talk to them all day, curious if they're a good guitar player. If you want me to play guitar for you on my time, you can pay for it, like I'd expect anyone else performing on demand.

Block and report the stalkers, Danny.

He was a household name but no one was listening. Private Parts bombed after a massive advertising campaign and a Super Bowl commercial. Howard's name is big like Pauly Shore or Steven Seagal. Without the big (((hollywood))) machine behind Stern who would actually care about him? What was his cultural influence exactly? Fartman?

Stern is a huge name in show business yet with no success at all attached to his name. Hence his perpetual misery and refusal to retire. Because once he retires his name will never make it into the mainstream press ever again. Because no one cares about him.

 

[LockedHDD__Pot]

@BenDovid out of interest, who originally brought CS Kenny on-board? I know Jim knew him from opening for Dice, but how did he come to work for O&A?

Also, was there any specific reason why Jim felt the need to employ CSK while working local chucklehuts or whatever?

 

[BrotherMan1488]

I've never listened to Howard's radio show but Private Parts was more entertaining than anything O&A did.

Considering how funny Howard can be Private Parts sucked what was he thinking?

He wanted mainstream appeal. By being edgy on air but really aw shucks he’s a family man husband who loves his wife and family dearly, he would transform his career to the next phase.

Except it didn’t work. Very quickly after the movie his divorce was announced and he went back to doing shock jock stuff like take a porn star to prom.

He has tried all of this again recently by having an interview with Hilary Clinton and then failing to understand what his role was supposed to be on that stupid talent show. He’s not going to be Simon Cowell, no, he’s going to be pleasant and nice to all the contestants.

Fucking phony douchebag, which is why he’s miserable. He may be more miserable than even Anthony.

That’s why I believe he would prefer to die working. He complains about having to do a show yet he’s seen what will happen if he retires - he will fade into obscurity and his ego can’t handle that. He’s rich beyond his wildest dreams yet is a miserable cunt.

That’s what was so funny about him getting that AGT job - he sold himself like he would be a Simon type and someone people would tune into just to see what he would say next!

And…he had nothing to say. He was safe as safe could be and talked about how acts made him cry and how one guy with a stutter was so beyond brave even though he made a name for himself exploiting people with speech issues / disabilities / etc.

I gotta say, I enjoyed Son of the Beach. But yea most outside-the-show stuff Stern has tried sucked. Still waiting on the Porkys remake.

Can I really not delete a post because I misunderstood what this guy was saying? AH BOOOOOO

 

[satanssockpuppet]

By Golly, you're prickly. My point is Stern's popularity set off a "shock jock" boom that lead to companies looking for the next Howard Stern and throwing money and perks at jocks they didn't do before or since. Seems hard to argue

Of course. WNEW-FM changed the station's entire format in order to ride the "shock radio" boom. It didn't end well.

 

[satanssockpuppet]

Private Parts being a box office bomb proves that Stern was not popular. He was 'big' for maybe a decade and that is being generous.

Howard had a rabid, significant cult following, but he stupidly agreed to aim his gay movie at non-Stern fans, who ignored it in droves. He was trying to win over people he had no chance of winning over. Trying to make everyone love him is a constant throughout his post-PP career, but it always fails.

American Pie films are basically Porky's remakes. Porky's the first movie is still the highest grossing Canadian film of all time or in the top five still which is hilarious.

I know Jim knew him from opening for Dice, but how did he come to work for O&A?

Kenny was an O&A fan who wanted to be a standup comic as well. He just wanted to work with people in the entertainment industry. But no one wants a 6'7" jew creature working as anything but a Frankenstein monster. Kenny loved doing bits for O&A like his radio demos or singing songs or whatever.

And did he have any creative input on that? I think he just had his name on it and would promote it.

And that show you can’t even find on any streaming service. Howard has been talking about working on “many big projects” for over 20 years and all he’s done since son of the beach is AGT and a “book” that was a transcript of a bunch of his interviews and 15 new pages of material. That ugly old Jewish woman doesn’t have anything major going on - he can barely be bothered to do his radio show!

I like that he claims he’s turned down many “Major” movie roles for years - never says which ones of course - he’s afraid to be exposed as liar (ala Hulk Hogan who has made tons of fake claims like being asked to join Metallica, “missed” the call to be the face of Foreman grill, asked the star in “The Wrestler” etc) while as far as I know the only movie he was asked to be in was “Dirty Work” as The Devil which eventually went to Adam Sandler.

Lot of people don’t know the Christmas classic “A Christmas Story” was made so the writer / director from Porky’s Bob Clark would agree to make “Porky’s 2” - that was his demand to return to make the sequel since the first made so much money. The studio thought this Christmas story movie was an awful idea but wanted Porky’s 2. They dumped Christmas Story with pretty much zero advertising budget in theaters in Nov and it flopped but eventually found a life on HBO since they needed movies to show. Now nobody remembers Porkys 2 and Christmas Story plays 24 hours every Christmas.

Bob Clark was killed in a car accident maybe 15 years ago by a drunk driving illegal alien in CA.

i had to see this faggot movie poster on the wall of the local video store from 1997 until whenever it closed down
