I find O&A on 202 to be just as rough/nasty as Stern...guess that is why they call them shock jocks.

If that posted bit is indicitive of the show, I would say O&A use much harsher language than Stern does (at least so far). Not that I have any issue with it, just funny that Stern gets all the negative press about the "obscenities".

UGGGG...I think O&A really try SO hard to BE Stern ,but they never can be, so their only option is to try and be "more shocking" than him, which always just end up sounding like pure sh*t ;)

This is a hard thing to debate on because it is so heavilly based on personal preference.

I used to be a big Stern fan, but in the past few years started to feel that Arty was the only thing making the show worth listening to consistently. Sure there were a few good bits but Howard doesn't seem as into it as he did pre 2000's, and Robin brings nothing to the show.

I bought XM to hear O&A and haven't looked back since. Sure they can be shocking, but it's the wit of guys like Anthony, Jim Norton, and the comedians on the show that make it great. I'd put the number of laughs I have at least double of what I had listening to Stern.

Not a show for everybody, but if you like this type of humor, then It's a great show.
