Take a second and think about what you just asked

Opie vs. Robin would be a fairer comparison. And yes we know Robin is the answer.

You're gonna make me choose between Opie and Robin? Goddammit, I hate you for this, but I gotta go with the Titster. Robin is just the absolute worst, she's the prototypical hole. I hate her beyond reason, while I can still tolerate Opie in old clips. She adds nothing to anything, she is just a yes-man to Howard. Opie also doesn't have his own opinion most of the time, but occasionally will think for himself. They're both terrible, but as much as I hate Opie, I can never vouch for Robin.

Actually Robin is the better broadcaster. SHe is a real ship steerer when it comes to the Stern Show. The Howard Stern show isHoward talking to her. If she laughs he knows to keep going. If she asks a question he continues. If she says nothing or says uh uh Howard knows to steer the conversation somewhere else. She may be annoying but she's quick enough to keep up with Howie, and is funny sometimes too. Robin is directing the show. The rare times I've heard clips of Hoo Hoo without Robin, the show was a disaster. Even Robin is leagues above Opie.

Robin is articulate and smart. She will verbally eviscerate someone if need be. Yeah it could be said she's annoying and cackles, but she can hold her own. At least years ago she did, she's kind of mellowed out.

The fact that Robin isn't funny and is a woman doesn't make her a "hole" by O&A's definition. The hole actually tramples the comedy and puts the brakes on when she thinks things go too far. Robin doesn't do that. Robin goes along with all the mean-spirited shit on the show, even when she is the target of it. Opie is the hole who can't take a joke about himself and tramples on the comedy. When everyone is fair game to be made fun of on the show except for one person, that person is most likely the hole.

I actually like Robin but she is sort of a the hole..she would always say "Oh you guys are so terrible" and shit like that. Robin is off grounds for tons of shit, she is treated like a special flower compared to the rest of staff by Howard.

Howard, I don't think most people ever would of argued that Howard is a better broadcaster than Opie, in my opinion it was more about that the OnA show was better than Howard's for a while

A year or two.

I find them both hate-able in their own way. But you can't deny Howards career. it's the fact he likes to rub it in peoples faces that i can't stand. Opie is a disc jockey that got lucky, and used the talent of others to make himself successful.

Opie would still be spinning records over nights on Long Island if a funny guy inspired by years of listening to Stern's show didn't show up at his door begging to get on the air. All Opie has to do is sit back and let the funny people be funny and he still manages to fuck that up constantly. He's had a wildly successful career in radio in SPITE of his level of talent, not because of it.

Love him or hate him, Howard is the greatest morning radio broadcaster that will ever live. There was a time when O&A had the more "entertaining" show, but the last year has shown neither is very entertaining without each other.

Is this a real question

If we're talking about currently, they're both shit.

There is no O and A without your faggot son. No and I'm not talking about ant.

Obviously Howie has made more money but in the end who is the better broadcaster?
