The TRUTH re: Howard Stern Vs. Opie & Anthony

[MilwaukeeStrangler]

Remember the Ipod? Every engineer/salesman/secretary at Microsoft had to use a dogshit Zune to listen to music at work because Bill Gates was equally gay about this horseshit. (Which is why they never had a competing product. Nobody over there could convince Bill to take an L and start over.)

Zune was and still is a superior product you piece of shit

 

[Nana's stent]

It was bullshit anyway, as he had no problem with selling those VHS tapes he made, which were just a shitty as anything Jackie ever cranked out. He used to tell his listeners to buy two, one to watch, and one to save as a valuable collectible. Crucified By The FCC, US Open Sores, Underpants And Lingerie Party, Butt Bongo Fiesta, New Year's Rotten Eve, they were all shit, just low-budget junky crap he tossed together. Same with his two shitty books, both of which were pretty much garbage.

don't forget the leroy neiman poster ho hoooo

Howard Stern went on The View and said he never used the N word on the air.

I hate lying Jews so much.

This was possibly the biggest lie Stern ever told. I remember there were Stern faggot fanboys in the HSS subreddit claiming that he only "used the N-word" in character, to make fun of racists and etc. And I explained that no, Howard said "nigger" constantly, and he did it because he liked saying it. If someone was to go back through his old archives and actually count how many times he said "nigger", the number would easily be in the thousands.

 

[lowend73]

Another thing about Stern, is his use of the word "glomming"

Staff members were basically disallowed for any side gigs because of "my name and my reputation"

A really high and misguided opinion of himself. No one gave a fuck, and it works out that it is more publicity for him.

Just a greedy fuck

 

[RoTheHo69]

Another one: after Leno hired Stuttering John, Howard kept repeating on air that Leno “stole” John.

I had a friend at the time who repeated that line in a conversation we were having about Stern.

I said if Howard wanted to keep Stuttering John perhaps he should have paid him more than Leno.

I never understood how Stern’s listeners could fall for that shit. It’s an open job market, except if you’re Howie and someone hires one of your people.

The other question is why shouldn’t John take that offer? Why the fuck should John be loyal to Stern?

Because if that shit works on 9/10 of your guys it's cheaper in the end. Cult of personality.

 

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

Stern bought a stripper and prostitute, from the nightclub Scores, a Mercedes Benz convertible, and she bragged about it to the other girls in the club who then leaked it to the press. Stern just ignored it and a week later 9/11 happened so no one mentioned it again.

The Jews do it again

 

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

I always wondered how the staff would keep their mouth shut when Howard would say things like, "Lucasfilm doesn't pay their people well at all...." I was listening and could hear a pin drop in Howard's studio.

Which is weird because personally George Lucas is crazy generous in terms of giving parts of his gross points to actors in his movies. He broke up one of his points on American Graffiti 8 ways to the principal actors and Richard Dreyfus said that netted him more than any other job he did

Private Parts definitely exposed that Howard wasn't nearly as popular as he reported. And that he would never have mainstream appeal either. It jaded a lot of his fans as well, as if you saw the film in the theater it was almost always to an empty room. Stern was selling his movie as being this amazing listener experience where Stern fans would congregate and see the Godfather of radio movies. But you were lucky if there were more than two people in the theater with you the minute the opening weekend was over.

Howard was once asked on air how much the film made and he said "$80million" which is a lie of double the actual amount. Also the radio shows leading up to Private Parts were literally about the film nonstop. Endless talk about the movie to promote it. Fans were sick of it. The week after Private Parts aired Stern took a vacation and was off air. The next week he got on the air and didn't mention Private Parts more than in passing as he was obviously embarrassed that the movie wasn't some massive hit like he predicted. But years later Artie Lange would incinerate all traces of Private Part's bombing with his monumental and spectacular failure of Beer League.

They were huge but radio huge. It's not the same as putting on Seinfeld which is on the biggest network at 9pm, nationwide. Radio was still pretty region, Stern was a show that was huge in the northeast and may or may not be syndicated in your area on who knows what station.

This was literally the purpose of inviting any celebrity onto the show. They come to the show to use your show and name to promote their stupid movies or TV shows. That is it. None of them are your friends. They do not care about you. You only get access to them to plug their trash media. They just are booked by their agents to do 100 talk shows in a month promote Iron Man 4 or whatever garbage is coming out. Your show is simply being used as a platform to plug another vapid soulless corporate mediocre movie.

Yet the guys loyal to Howard for years or even decades are forbidden from mentioning that they are appearing at a bar or club that weekend to try to make ends meet to support their families. Scott the Engineer can't mention he is doing an appearance at a bowling alley because it might somehow collapse Sirius and the Stern channels and send Howard into hysterics. Yet some D-list celebrity can plug another reality TV show during an interview endlessly. Or Beth can promote another cat or dog book she is 'writing'.

I love how Howard had that sibian sex machine thing in the studio. Literally debasing his entire show and studio to have prostitutes and porn 'stars' act like whores. But if Sal plugged a standup gig on the air it would be devastating to the Stern brand and no one would ever be able to recover.

I agree. But Stern called himself "The King of All Media" and took out a Super Bowl commercial for Private Parts. As if he was going to launch into superstardom and become a world famous actor. He had all these bizarre far out plans for movies and shows from the Porky's remakes to Howard Stern the High School Years and so on. Ivan Reitman had him convinced he would be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He says it 2 or 3 times in the first half of this ten minute clip.

There's a few moving parts but the biggest problem seemed to be Howard's popularity was sizable but limited. It was something similar to professional wrestling, there was a large, rabid, and ultimately niche fan base but complete poison to everyone else.

Cant believe Private Parts was the first time I was introduced to Paul Giamatti...He blew up pretty fast after that debacle, and did well for himself throughout the rest of the 90s.

What ever happened to the Fart Man movie? Maybe it just sounds dated but that idea for a movie was so stupid. Farts being funny, what am I 5?

Or the CBS Saturday night show that was going to decimate SNL that was just an E show best of.

I remember him claiming that they beat SNL every week. I thought that sounded wrong haha.

 

[Imager]

Even I forgot about this one. What a disaster.

Remember his first E! show? Just awful interviews with people like Frank Zappa that E! re-ran a million times because they had no content.

"Barely King of Basic Cable" didn't have the ring to it, I guess.

Dammit, excellent breakdown homie. This is a great thread, glad you and the others posted on here.

I wonder what happened to make him turn down the Scarecrow part ? He has been out of touch for so long, how about the "rock band" he was in. If Fred was such a musician, why the fuck would you play with that walking stereotype of a Jew?

Gary called him out on his terrible taste in music;



That band was straight garbage

Gary is an audiophile, and Fred had the nerve to make fun of him for his top list of songs, his movie theater set up. Scott as well.

That would have been great to listen to his collection and watch a movie. Making fun of a guy for having barstools?


Robin is a black parrot The only ones who have stayed with him are the ass kissers and yes men.

Irrelevant for a long time.

Private Parts was an 80s ripoff. So many things to pick apart. Anyone post a link with him talking up the movie?

 

[HeyItsVos]

I wonder what happened to make him turn down the Scarecrow part ?

He never was offered the part. And his name was only thrown around when the character was going to be included in a Schumacher Batman movie. It probably would have gone to Jeff Goldblum or someone else that was talked about. When Nolan started making Batman movies it was clear he wasn’t going to cast someone like Stern.

I remember Howard winning a Best Newcomer award at some D list award show against Casper Van Dien in Starship Troopers and Michael Jai White for Spawn. Those guys aren’t major stars but both deserved to win over him because they clearly were going to have better careers since they were actual actors.

 

[lowend73]

in a Schumacher Batman movie

That would have worked out great for Howard. A faggot directing another faggot

 

[DMAN]

What ever happened to the Fart Man movie? Maybe it just sounds dated but that idea for a movie was so stupid. Farts being funny, what am I 5?

Google the script. The opening scene is actually pretty funny. It starts with a prostitute almost getting raped until it’s revealed it’s a tranny whore with a deep man voice. FART MAN, HELP ME!!!!

Right now would be the perfect time to do a Fartman movie, put the nail in the coffin in the whole capeshit Marvel genre. Of course Howard doesn’t have balls to make a real comedy movie though.
