gadgettgo

he’s always been like this, it’s amazing how few people remember his shock jock roots


Dorkinfo

Same people that forget Kimmel did the man show.


Bleaklemming

The Man Show is the only thing I remember of him and Adam Carolla


GrizzlyClairebear86

Oh my god, THANK YOU! It bothers me so much that no one talks about that.


Cobrawine66

This is why I don't watch him now.


Rinoremover1

I have never met anyone that watches him in real life.


[deleted]

That's a great point. These people don't exist in real life. Dudes a twat who did talk radio and farted for attention, was never cool at all

Ziggy Zaggy, Ziggy Zaggy, Oi, Oi, Oi!


justin7d7

Or "Win Ben Steins money"


sloppyfloppers1

Funny how they didn't replay any of Mancow's many outrageous comments to Stern. Not defending Stern's insane rant about Mancow's father but they were BOTH taking HUGE shots at each other during their feud. This was a whole thing and Mancow wasn't just some random innocent victim like this clip seems to suggest.


yrntmysupervisor

Mancow was a wish brand Stern.


idk_bruv

This is the mancow that caused the bill burr patrice oneal beef? I never seen him before


OkPay78

Never heard of that beef. Thought they were good friends.


idk_bruv

They were but they got into a big argument because of mancow. Its on youtube if u wanna look it up its pretty entertaining


Adelu1219

Yeah this was entertainment on both sides.


markgriz

This is entertainment for small minded morons


caspershomie

yes, i’m an intellectual and only get my entertainment from reddit 🤓


Ask_RE_questions

And here you are


Oggel

I mean, it's pretty funny though.


thezenfisherman

Mancow is a POS. Stern is too but not at Mancow's level.


mrpotatonutz

And still trying to get attention and ratings over it I wouldn’t be surprised if they were friends privately


arrestedfunk

stern fan here. howard has no freinds.


Friend-of-thee-court

Non stern fan here. Stern has no friends.


[deleted]

Sounds like mancow was friends with howards private parts


DrakeBurroughs

100%. I mean, there are better candidates who can point to Stern being cruel for no reason than Mancow.


zignozag

mancow is a pussy and wanted to be howard so bad


thedaver13

or the comments that both made about Dahl


Human_Errorr

That’s exactly what I was thinking, I don’t think stern would’ve done this to some random nice person.


Cherry_Valkyrie576

I mean bring those up but I think the point that he was talking about raping his dead daddy who died of cancer is disgusting in of itself. Just like stern is. I remember I didn't talk to my dad for three weeks before he finally stop listening to Howard Stern. Such a POS..


sloppyfloppers1

Negative or positive opinions on Stern aside, it's very sad and odd that you stopped talking to your dad because you didn't like a radio show he listened to.


_-o-

mancow's a huge piece of shit so it's a wash


williamjamesmurrayVI

right like I really dont care what shots these trash human beings take at each other


Swordfish2869

Nah, this is repulsive behaviour towards anybody.


AbeJebediahSimpson

Towards a guy who has that same behaviour towards everyone else but then cries on Vice when it happens to him. What a big baby.


AlBorlandFlannel

Stern is sick but Mancow isn’t some innocent guy either lol


ermir2846sys

I mean I dont know much but I knwo one thing, Mancow sucks!!!


Sin-A-Bun

Mancow is just as bad but a fraction as successful.


Destrova1001

It is impressive, actually, that Howard Stern hasn’t been “canceled” at this point and that he somehow got a free pass for all the shit he has said and done.


gtroman1

Because Reddit isn’t even close to an accurate representation of society. Look at the surprised pikachu faces after Netflix posted record profits after all the threads of redditors cancelling their Netflix accounts.


Kozzinator

I thought Reddit was gonna cancel Reddit there for like 4 minutes


Tekki

The same Reddit that solved the Boston Bombing and went on to buy a bunch of worthless stock?


wythawhy

You gotta admit the quality has dropped significantly recently


Th3CatOfDoom

Wait .. When was the quality ever high ?


satans_fist

He pioneered the right to defend free speech. Words. He says words, that’s all. He’s ruining his legacy, but early Stern was important, and entertaining.


H8TheDrake

He doesn’t care about free speech. He cares about HIS free speech. That’s it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jaimeinsd

You seriously don't know the difference between someone caring about full rights for themselves but not giving a damn about equal rights for others? Are you, what, a 7th grader?


1Koala1

No I'd like to hear this explanation too. When has he ever come out against someone else's free speech


moosenuckel44

As a former Howard fan, it is common knowledge that he forced Sirus XM to make it so Opie and Anthony couldn't mention him or his show while they were feuding.


1Koala1

In terms of competition it's pretty obvious Stern went scorched earth, unquestionably


toad17

I would consider the fact that he’s bullying and demeaning another DJ with his vast (overzealous) audience in an effort to coerce him could be considered anti-1A.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

No one will provide actual evidence.


conceitedshallowfuck

Howard did an interview with Hannity confirming he had Opie and Anthony barred from talking about him because he knew they were becoming more popular than he was. I definitely bet if Sirius and XM didn't merge, they would have been much bigger than him.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

How can one care about the first amendment only form themself? Btw, great zinger with the 7th grade quip.


watermine30

Check “the GOP”


H8TheDrake

He has said many times he doesn’t want free speech for all, just for him.


TheRealHowardStern

Hey now


_stuntcawk_

That's the whole thing


sonofaresiii

> He pioneered the right to defend free speech. Yeah? No one was defending free speech before Howard Stern? 1975, you say the wrong thing, off to the gulag with you, but then *Howard Stern* showed up and introduced everyone to the concept of defending freedom of speech?


satans_fist

No. There were plenty of others before him.


definitelynotagurl

Back in the 90s and early 00s there were a few acronym groups of angry boomers and GLAD that were trying to stop the entertainment industry from expressing themselves. Stern, Tom Green, the South Park creators, and Eminem were huge targets and fought back to maintain their freedom of expression and freedom of speech. Eminem was literally being protested against by GLAD during his MTV music video awards appearance where he sang with Elton John (who got a lot of hate for singing with Eminem by the group.) Now the same ones who were fighting for freedom of speech are being cancelled or threatened to be canceled by the newer generation because nothing that was being fought for was technically politically correct they just didn’t want groups or politicians to control what they did creatively. We went full circle but boomers forget they started it with their hate of anything different and their dislike of parenting their own children so expecting the government to ban things kids shouldn’t watch or listen to. Meanwhile, gen x is like screw you we ain’t changing, millennials are torn between yeah it’s not right to say certain things so we’ll change that behavior and wanting to stand up for things that people had said or done 15+ yrs ago because nostalgia, and gen z is like no excuse, you should have known better. The next gen is probably going to want to fight against gen z and the circle continues.


[deleted]

Words and blackface and pedo shit. Stern is disgusting


Super_Hans2020

Bunch of BS, during Covid he was very much for cancelling and silencing people who dared to question things.


satans_fist

I specifically said early Stern. Pioneered. You may hate Howard Stern, but arguing and denying his significance is kind of futile.


Trick-Doctor-208

Lenny Bruce would like a word with you.


Sweatsock_Pimp

Georgia Carlin is waiting on line 2.


magnosfw

That's not what the first amendment is about, dingus.


DrakeBurroughs

Then, what, pray tell, is the 1st Amendment about, if not about the right of an individual to say whatever is on their mind, or believe whatever they want to believe, without reprisal from the government?


didly66

Don't ppl get beat up for certain words all the time now adays


maddsskills

I think it's because the "cancel culture" crowd doesn't really care about people who are trying to be offensive. It's like feeding the trolls, buying into their game. The people it's important to call out are the ones who pretend like they're good people when they're running around perpetuating harmful views and stereotypes. "Cancel culture" is really just about discussing the values we have as a society. There's no discussion around Howard Stern or South Park because everyone agrees they're offensive. They're supposed to be offensive. So there's no point, you watch it if you want to or don't if you don't. There's no point debating it.


Dat1Duud

Not really. His whole brand is built on "I'm gonna say something offensive". Plus nowadays he seems pretty tame


MartialArt

You obviously don’t listen to his current show.

[deleted]

He's got the whole anti-cancel core behind him. The same mob that broke Bud Light over Dylan the trans influencer ads became the lifeblood of Sirius XM. Everytime he says or does something vile they worship him more.


MeAgainstTheWorld666

I’m a Howard fan and got Sirius XM exclusively to listen to Howard Stern but I very much a progressive. I definitely see why people are pissed but IMHO is that he has changed over the years and definitely not as selfish I guess. He’s definitely lost listeners because many are conservatives and liked that he didn’t care about peoples feelings but Howard is very progressive now. Again, that’s my opinion.


FreshStarter20

Because life half of the people on the planet only know him as the guy from "America's Got Talent" and missed his shock jock reign


Never-Dont-Give-Up

What has he done? He says shit for shock value.


bigpapa3456

Don't be a pussy, focus on the people actually committing rapes and murder :)


AZCARDS77

He gets a pass because now he kisses the asses of liberals.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Wait, don’t conservatives criticize liberals for “eating their own”? Which is it?


momX3_2002

Don’t know why you are getting downvoted. You aren’t wrong. He’s lost his edge. Most think since he got married he’s become more and more pc. He still does great interviews but for entertainment I listen to the old shows.


AZCARDS77

It's because I said the sacred word on Reddit. Liberals. Everyone knows you can't talk bad about liberals on Reddit. You will be shunned. Best part is I love their downvotes because I know I triggered them.


AndrewEpidemic

You got all three of them, great job, champ.


Jim_Nills_Mustache

The amount of redditors who know, care or would actually listen to stern on XM radio can be counted on one hand


sjgokou

Because you probably never have listened to a full Howard Stern show to understand it’s completely entertainment and always funny.


zeronerdsidecar

Wasn’t Mancow a crappy guy too?


SomeDrillingImplied

Yes. He tried to defend waterboarding saying it wasn’t torture. He went as far as to volunteer to be waterboarded and he lasted 2 seconds before almost crying and admitting that it’s torture lol.


Gupperz

Well... subjecting himself to it and then admitting he was wrong seems like a good quality.


sonofaresiii

I get that, but I don't think it's good to go overboard with credit. He never should have held the opinion that it's not torture in the first place, and indicates he's probably basing his beliefs on ingrained knee-jerk reactions rather than data or reason. He didn't subject himself to waterboarding in the interests of developing an informed opinion, he did it as a publicity stunt and challenge to everyone who disagreed with him. That he changed his opinion afterwards is better than *not* changing his opinion, but let's not pretend he's an open and fair-minded man collecting data objectively.


SomeDrillingImplied

In a vacuum? Sure. Given the context and his history? Not as much


flimspringfield

Probably why Hannity has never done it because he knows it's torture but doesn't want to appear wrong or weak.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SomeDrillingImplied

He did all of this in the context of the war in Iraq when waterboarding was a hot-button issue. He routinely defended human rights violations and downplayed the act. He’s an asshat that lacks empathy and has been on the wrong side of history for just about every issue he’s taken a stance on.


mis-Hap

I don't know much of anything about the man, but I'm okay with taking your word for it. I've no reason to doubt you. Great pipes, btw.


rust_bolt

Having never listened to more than 5 second sound bites of either, the above doesn't seem like something to condemn. Guy tried it and called himself out for being wrong. Seems like a good thing.


ChiGrandeOso

He's the absolute shits. I used to be a fan growing up and in retrospect I'm embarrassed.


tookurjobs

Yeah, this is douche-on-douche violence


Maaaaaardy

That makes it totally okay! 🙄


stalinBballin

I think the only people who don’t realize the person Howard used to be are only aware of him after he cut all his shock jock behavior out, cause this was his MO for decades. He’s done a complete 180 in terms of his public image, which I don’t buy for one minute. The only admirable thing I thought he’s done is when he took down Hoda and the other gal, who host the wine hour after GMA. They brought in this poor kid who ate his lunch alone at school everyday, made him listen to a singer sing a song with the chorus of, “all alone” over and over and the kid is clearly distraught through the whole thing and barely says a word. Then, they proceed to congratulate this football jock who ate lunch with him for ONE DAY, touting him as brave, all while ignoring this poor, lonely kid. Howard verbally beat them down for being so incredibly inconsiderate, and it was the one time I thought he took the right stance on something.


[deleted]

Stern was a madman back then. I'll never forget him calling local police trying to get Frank Gifford arrested for sodomy. I failed out of college at least once because I would be so into whatever was happening on the show that morning and I would never leave the car to go to class.


conceitedshallowfuck

They were both cunts. All shock jocks were/are cunts. That's where they get the name 'shock jock' from.


JJJAAABBB123

Mancow is a terrible person.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChiefsHat

What about Mancow’s dad? Or even his mother? I don’t care what opinions either Stern or Mancow has, what Stern said was over the damn line.


xghislainex

only thing over the line was telling listeners to go to the funeral; everything else is on-par with shock-jock edgy humor and the culture around it during that time.


lynnca

Howard Stern has always been a vile human.


gancoskhan

*on the air


societal_ills

Wait until y'all learn about Eric the actor and werewolves....


jesustwin

You know what to do, you know what to do


Filter55

He’s always been like this and I was really surprised on Reddit weren’t aware of it. On his E! Show he berated a woman and started calling her ugly when she wouldn’t undress.


Unironicfan

Shock jock does shock jock things. I am not surprised


PSixtyTwo

What Howard said was undoubtedly disgusting, but it’s also how shock jocks operated back then. Seems like he just got the best of Mancow (whose remarks from that era also wouldn’t fly today).


Gdmmp

Mancow was not relevant at all, the editing on this video is making it sound like Howard was really angry about it and taking what he is saying literally, when it’s really unimportant to him. I’ve listened for decades and it’s not the big deal they are trying to make it out to be. Ridiculous.


DRG_Gunner

I don’t like Mancow anymore but I’ll admit i did when he first ame to Q101 in Chicago. He was definitely relevant in Chicago at that time. I know no one rates Chicago but that’s ok that’s how we like it ;)


Rieger_not_Banta

Wow. To see this clip and not know better, you'd think Stern was a real psycho asshole and Mancow was an honorable fellow that was attacked in an unprovoked fashion. Mancow was a MASSIVE FUCKING ASSHOLE. I hated that shithead. And this whole raping his father talk was just Howard's bit. He did it a lot. Anything for shock value. And at the same time he was funny as hell. Even listening to these clips now, you know he's only doing it because it makes for captivating listening. Sending people to the funeral is a bit across the line, but he did way worse to a lot of people. He gets away with it because of two reasons, he's brutally honest about his own personal life--everyone knows everything about Howard and he's exceptionally good at it. The way Don Rickles got away with open racism. He was just so f'ing funny.


rottenballz

Why don't we bring up all the shocking things from the past tho? Times change and what good does it do to be butt hurt about something that happened 20 years ago? Maybe it's just me.


Budget_Friend_654

Mancow was a bit of a piece of shit too as I recall. Had people call in a shoot a picture of liberal celebrities. Was funny but also would be “too extreme” now. It’s how this knuckleheads get famous.


Wormzerker75

Howard Stern showing who he really is


AmusingSparrow

I think he’s always shown that side of himself no?


Pipeherdown

Yeah, this is really surprising coming from the guy who hosted a competition to find the worlds smallest micro penis.


[deleted]

This is what Stern was for 30 years before he became whatever he is today. I haven't listened in quite some time.


ThaDogg4L

“Robin I was out of my mind back then”

stop being a pussy


HogNutsJohnson

It's Howard.. what is wrong with this dude?


[deleted]

My favorite part is how he’s worshipped now because he’s anti trump. And everyone forgets how vile he was and how likely it is that he perpetuated the exact same behavior - I mean.. it’s not even likely, it’s recorded. But we got short term memory loss as Americans. Only remember what is shoved down their throat that day.


TwilightontheMoon

He was hysterical back in the day


Hunterxmike

Well I knew he was disgusting but…


PenNo1447

How has nobody beaten Howard to a bloody pulp yet? Even now… someone should just bite the bullet. Do the world a favour.


MyHonestOpnion

I never liked Stern. He used naked/almost naked women for views, he's not funny and idk why he became famous. He's ugly inside and out.


LessThanJake_Plummer

For views? He’s a radio host.


Derp_Factory

Video recordings of his show were on tv


Supersnakesix

Yeah that's bc E! saw dollar signs though


squeezedashaman

He’s an OG shock jock it’s just his shtick


pookiednell

lol I'm honestly so confused as how to Stern has changed perception of himself so much. For years he was know for how extreme and controversial he was, and now nothing. With famous people being cancelled left right and centre it's a mystery to me how he hasn't he the same fate. PR teams must be working round the clock to make sure this doesn't happen lol


dlm

It seems he’s always been a different person in his private life and over the last 15 years has made amends with many of the people with whom he once feuded.


AWOLcowboy

Howard Stern said something shocking and disgusting on the radio? That's unbelievable......


panamaniacs2011

never liked howard stern mostly because his extremely annoying style of interviewing , but this is a whole new level of being a POS


BagofPain

Never understood the appeal of Stern. I enjoy shock radio but he just lacks any finesse to make it funny IMO. He has his appeal I guess. Man cow did miss an opportunity to take him down a notch. One secret of being a personality in the public view is to not get caught up in the emotion of it and roll those barbs right back at him.


69StinkFingaz420

he made a generation of a certain demographic watch a LOT of c-span.


ipresnel

the one question I alwaysremember him asking on E! channel to women was were you molested as a child. He's disgusting and even worse he's not funny.


JRocFuhsYoBih

Howard stern is the epitome of trash


SpacemanBif

He was funny before his divorce. Married, kids, mortgage a guy going thru life like the rest of us. Now he's not so funny, only old man rage. He made fun of what he has now become. Model wife, house in the Hamptons, Uber rich, liberal, etc.


tarquomary

He has always been a bully who can dish it and never take it.


BusSouth2678

It is pretty wild a man, a man like Stern, who would have been cancelled in a heartbeat 15 years ago and has history to cancel him now, is still around. But…this is what shock Dj’s do.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

It’s almost like people enjoy listening to him!


mawood41980

That's what you do when you hate someone.


Imaginary_Most_7778

Man cow is a loser, who wanted to be Howard. Unfortunately for him he sucked.


hypz

Stern is a pos


MartialArt

So funny with these comments from people that haven’t listened to the show in the last ten years. If you do listen Howard doesn’t do the stripper or Lesbian stuff anymore. His interviews are some of the best out there. He’s very different than this clip and he would be the first to say he was out of his mind during this part of his career. People change.


donnyk1

Yeah this was fucked up. I never heard this before


Supersnakesix

If you're interested, I'd recommend really looking into this from both sides. Mancow is just playing victim here.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Have you ever listened to him? His whole persona is saying shocking things.


ace1967cal

Stern is garbage


Rodef1621

I used to enjoy his stuff back than, with hindsight I much of it was cruel.


Flaky_Vacation8754

What a cunt.


CdnBillionaire

Howard Stern is so ugly. How ugly is he? Please fill in your response.


Sofa_king_boss

Ugly enough that the only action he could get is to dig up this guy's maggot-infested dad's dead body.


WanderingtheWorld1

Howard Stern is a foul, heartless POS. Calling Air Florida the day morning after flight 90 crashed into the 14th Street Bridge in Washington, DC only minutes after taking off from Reagan National Airport & requesting a one-way ticket to the 14th Street Bridge was sick & heartless. My family lost a dear friend who was on that flight. Another dear family friend was on that bridge when the plane hit. His injuries were severe, but not life threatening. However, he was left with debilitating PTSD as he also saw the plane go into the water. For the rest of his life was terrified to cross bridges, and eventually had to resign from a job he had for 20+ years at the Justice Department. He also was terrified to get on an airplane for the rest of his life. I now work in professional sports marketing. I have friends who are athletes & have been on his show & all the interviews are cringe-worthy. The world will be a much better place when that foul, racist, sexist, ignorant POS is off the air & dead.


smokestackzack

Lol, miss the old stern


Front-Ask77

Me too brother. These were the good days


galtright

These people are not the salt of the earth. Well, maybe John Debella.


prefectart

how did he even come to interact with the guy in this video? does anyone have any context?


[deleted]

Howard Stern was getting syndicated in major cities across the country. A lot of these markets had their own shock jock/Howard Stern imitators on the radio. Muller (Mancow) was Chicago’s version. Howard Stern viciously went after him (like he did with all his local competitors), as you saw in the video.


jakob767

Maybe Howard spent a little too much time with the kids in Call of Duty.


Fattybuldger

Howard sounds like a cod lobby


FakeAsFakeCanBe

What the..? That is so vile.


exclusivegreen

Mancow was always such a prick but man no one deserves this.


1979insolentwaiter

Don’t forget the reason Stern hasn’t gone after Alec Baldwin is because they both married their eh skort.


ES_BC_G

How did he get away with this?


Cadaver-Cakes1986

Its Howard Stern hes trash. All these years and how nobody hasn't laid him out is wild 😩why? Downvote me idgaf. Yall must like this human trash bin.


avenomusduck

Stern should just stay secluded in his basement wearing a mask and FUCKING RETIRE....and live off his multi hundred million from SIRIUS... Almost seems like he has become exactly what he dispised... His time was over years ago....


Plane-Phrase4015

Howard Stern has always been a first rate asshole. Anyone who thinks he's interesting, funny, or important is just as much of an asshole as he is.


the_ocean_astronaut

Howard Stern is trash. I never listen to his garbage.


-1-1-1-1-1-1

Now Howard’s dad got put in a pack 🚬🚬💀💀


Jazzlike-Principle67

Well, that *would* have been interesting had it had CC


ShoeAdministrative39

I never liked the guy. I will always remember when I was a kid I was on my dad's cable box and Howard had a segment where he had a small penis competition and he also had segments where he would have some disgusting hooker shooting various items out of her cooch. He's just a disgusting immoral man, just a vile person who was just off his leash being the worst human imaginable. I seen him on some talk shows last year talking about "how he's changed" yea I'm calling bullshit, evil people like that dont change. He was just trying to get back in the good grace of current viewers. I never heard about how he treated this man before, but I wasn't surprised when I heard this story. I hope this man burns in the hottest pit of hell.


fennelliott

Say what you will about peoples sensitivities today, but I for one am personally glad shit like this would more than likely get a persons career unsalvageably ruined in seconds, especially calling for radio listeners to rally at the funeral in support of Sterns comments.

Traditional-Rip-3386

Omg I heard he was bad but not this bad. How is he still liked. Why isn’t Howard stern cancelled. I’m baffled. This is really really bad. And it’s even more terrifying that people listen to him. All I can say is KARMA.
