Reminder: O&A did way hackier shit than any of their Jocktober “victims”.

They also never seemed to be able to grasp that listeners are WELL aware that stuff like the fugitive bit was fake. Radio shows aren’t trying to convince listeners otherwise. The boys were just too stupid to get that.

I was listening to them make fun of Scorch’s PFGTV and Ant says something like “it’s set up like a real talk show on TV but it’s nothing like it” just a few years later Ant sits at a desk with a green sheet behind him.

Keep in mind Scorch is still on the radio and actually has listeners.

And if you ask me, thats PFG. Goodnight and thanks for listening.
Sam is a fucking cunt.

Scorch also had a real set, while Ant puts a $5 background on a green screen.

...is he?
I thought he moved to LA and is doing acting work now.
I’m not mocking him or anything (that wouldn’t be very PFG of me) but it’s hard to pin down where he is and what he’s doing.

Yeah, he did that for a while and then got a gig in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Q

Download TuneIn and look in Wisconsin for 92.9 The X and you can listen to Scorch weekday mornings.

How dare you infidels mention Slovine and Scorch (pbuh) in the same breath?!...that's just asking for a meteor to destroy Earth.

Imagine if they found the Chip Chipperson podcast back in like 2013

OnA used a lot of prepburger stuff throughout their careers too. Off the top of my head, the 100 grand and Dragon Wagon callers were both fake. Terry Cliffford never had to stoop that low to get listeners. She knows that if you treat listeners as equals and with respect then the ratings will follow. While Opie learned from a hack like Brother Wease, hence him being atrocious at radio and life.

Even then, O&A thought they were actually fooling people. When Mancow did the “TURD?!” bit, he wasn’t tricking anyone. It was just treated like a dumb comedy skit. As if anyone cares if it’s real or not.

OnA always insisted on keeping it "real". Which is a joke in itself. But fake prank calls like the John Cena and Mr Bergis bits are more famous and better recieved than anything those lazy fucks have ever done.

Remember that Bobo’s “KNOCK IT OFF SPADE!” was entirely scripted. As was his calling in to “annoy” the hosts.

You mean to tell me the doodie hat and "Jammin' in New York" aren't on the same level?

The moment that cringe “fugitive” shit came on the channel would get changed. That crap was so bad it would give my ears hemorrhoids.

The old WNEW show was usually good between 2-4, but after 4 they'd start with the sex-oriented stuff which was almost always really annoying and not worth listening to.

O&A were so desperate to have Howard’s career. They really are worthless losers.
