Anyone listen to Mancow growing up?

[-]

coltino99@reddit

Last night I listened to his broadcast the morning of 9/11

It hits me hard because these shock jocks could let loose. Howard and Mancow basically. All the other shock jocks I can find were that afternoon. All the other morning radio shows were either straight news or morning zoo type radio where they couldn’t show emotion.

Opie and Anthony I still listen to in order to fall asleep but not their 9/11 broadcast.

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

I know those growing in Chicago probably knew him. He was the knock off Howard Stern. There was a brief moment in my highschool days where I listened to him a lot. I thought shock radio was funny as a kid, but looking back is was pretty dumb. After that I think he moved around and went nation wide, so not sure if anyone else picked up on him later.

[-]

Careless_Ad_9665@reddit

Have you watched the documentary on shock jocks? I listened to Stern way back and it’s kind of wild to go back and watch how they were. Some of the things that Stern said to Mancow is just so unbelievable. I can’t even believe it was normal to listen to that. It’s such a horrible thing to listen to especially for young boys. I know they weren’t supposed to be listening but back then it seemed like ppl didn’t care.

[-]

Emotional_Vast_5117@reddit

Yes it's crazy to realize what young kids were exposed to back then. At least it's better nowadays.

[-]

Millard_Fillmore00@reddit

Yet, stern somehow gets free passes on all the messed up things he said in the past

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

I never listened to much Stern so I don't know what horrible shit he said. I remember when E! aired his show and they'd always have naked girls censored on there. Thats really all I know him for. I think he's the better of the 2 ppl right now.

[-]

gonzofish@reddit

To name a couple he wished cancer on people, was very homophobic, objectified women.

That being said he’s evolved quite a bit and is far less shitty than he used to be

[-]

Gia_Lavender@reddit

Yeah I listened to it all the time as a girl in middle school because I wanted to be cool and know all the jokes the cool kids knew…one day he brought on a woman (ex pornstar?) and played audio footage of her being raped and then made fun of her while she cried until she left. I was basically traumatized and didn’t listen to that anymore but I did keep listening to Loveline smh

[-]

JasonZep@reddit

Was that Stern or Mancow?

[-]

Careless_Ad_9665@reddit

Holy shit!

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

OH geez, that is awful. The crazy shit ppl do to try and be catchy and "cool". Loveline is one show I never liked. I tried listening to it for a bit b/c "everyone' else was, and I guess I was at "that age" but I hated it. Was tired of hearing about other kid's problems and their relationship life. I think Adam Corola was the only fun part about it.

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

I think I saw part of it, but I can't remember, lol. Yeah, it was quite stupid what we thought was entertaining. Mancow was always trying to be like Stern but he never was. Back then we were young and though naked girls on radio, prank calls, and just dumb shit was fun. Now its "oh god wtf was listening to"?

[-]

RaphaelSolo@reddit

I don't think you could NOT know him growing up in Chicago.

[-]

Atidbitnip@reddit

He still has a fucking special at La Scarola. Mancow wasn’t even half as witty and entertaining as Stern.

[-]

YinzaJagoff@reddit

Yup. From Chicago and remember him.

Mancow is a right wing asshole.

[-]

JasonZep@reddit

I remember listening to him back in the day I kept thinking “I wonder if this is all an act or if he’s really like that?”

[-]

Todd2ReTodded@reddit

He does an episode of no reservations with Anthony Bourdain and he seemed like he is like that but on the radio he really cranked it up

[-]

fm67530@reddit

And Howard Stern is a left wing asshole, so there was balance in the universe.

[-]

Old_Benefit1238@reddit

Yep, spent my post college morning drives to work listening to him. Funny at the time, but it turns out…he’s a huge piece of shit.

[-]

eLishus@reddit

Yeah, he was in San Francisco on “Wild 107” so we heard him out here on the west coast too. I recall his name and bits but I was more into music than listening to someone talk on the radio, so I didn’t get into it much.

[-]

Aggravating_Range468@reddit

Oh yeah, loved man cows morning mad house!

[-]

Chicagosox133@reddit

His show was pretty cringey in retrospect but it was absolutely perfect for an adolescent male as long as you could separate the ridiculous nonsense from the harmless jokes and bullshit. That dude is just a whack job now (and I suppose then, too).

If you want to have a few laughs at his expense, go find his Yelp reviews. He’s reduced himself to “old man yells at cloud” territory.

One of his reviews is complaining about not getting his free birthday sub from Jersey Mike’s. Dude is worth $10 million but if you don’t give him his free sub…there’ll be hell to pay!!!!

[-]

Amish_Juggalo469@reddit

I tuned into him a handful of times, when i was 14. Even then, I couldn't stand the douche. He was every morning zoo show stereotype rolled into one.

[-]

Tonrunner101@reddit

I remember when he was on Rock 103.5. Then switched to Q101

[-]

Right-Prompt5693@reddit

Rock 103.5. The very last song they played was fade to black. Can’t believe I still remember that

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

I miss the old good Rock/Metal radio stations. I loved Rock 103.5. Q101 was good but played more alt/grunge. There were a couple more I remember. Can't remember the station but Freak and Briand the Whipping boy were on them I think. My fav was 96.7 Will Rock. That was more local to will country but played amazing music.

[-]

thebarnacleez@reddit

95.9 out in the west suburbs switched to “classic alternative” a few months back and its perfect Xennial music now

[-]

MlsterFlster@reddit

Pretty sure Freak and Whip were the Q101 era. Last I checked Whip was at 101.9, and Freak was doing commentary at the demo derby in Joliet.

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

I think they originally were, but then they jumped around from different stations after. I know Whip did different rock stations and shows. Then he went to sports radio for a bit. Last time I checked many years ago, Freak was still doing radio at 100.7 Q Rock. It's only a small range local station in the south burbs. It's still going but no idea if hes still doing it.

[-]

Scruff_9@reddit

Freak is still doing 100.7, he broadcasts out of his bar in Braidwood (top fuel saloon)

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

Ah, good to see that bar is still going. Looks like not much has changed then.

[-]

ShepardCommander001@reddit

I remember around 2011 one of the radio stations in Chicago playing the (then new) Chili Peppers single Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie on repeat all weekend before becoming a pop station.

[-]

Ok-Name1312@reddit

I recorded that last hour or so on cassette. Still have it somewhere. Also on YT

They played way too much Megadeth for my liking.

[-]

YinzaJagoff@reddit

I remember going to Rock Stock as my first concert when I was a teenager!

[-]

[-]

stoic_fellow@reddit

Grew up in Chicagoland and my best friend lived Mancow (and “Al Roker Jr”). While I didn’t recognize him for the right winger he was I could tell he was a douche.

The real heads like me were too busy listening to Lin Brehmer on XRT.

[-]

No_Bicycle8126@reddit

I remember listening to him getting clowned on O&A Jocktober as a teen. Seemed like a hack

[-]

No_Cow_4544@reddit

No , not in my area

[-]

ZookeepergameAlive69@reddit

Was listening to Mancow the morning of 9/11. People thought the story was a prank for a contest.

[-]

CemeteryWind213@reddit

Same. I remember he stated to check a TV or another station to verify it's not a prank and then return to his show.

I woke up about the time the first plane struck and thought it was a "movie for guys who like movies." I didn't realize it was the news until later.

[-]

violetflux@reddit

I was too and I’ll never forget it. I was sitting on my bed putting makeup on and getting ready for work. I was still living at home and my dad was listening upstairs. I stopped what I was doing and turned the tv on and my dad came running downstairs and yelled “what the fuck is going on?!” We both just stared at the tv in stunned silence when the second plane hit.

[-]

Zoey1978@reddit

I also was listening to him. He said he was going to play a prank on everyone, but everyone would think it was real, besides the people listening at that time. Not long after, the first tower was hit. Crazy times.

[-]

LeopardDue1112@reddit

I too was listening to Mancow on 9/11. I was driving from Milwaukee to Madison for an internship when the first tower collapsed. I had to pull over, I was so freaked out. And I remember him talking about evacuating the Sears Tower.

[-]

violetflux@reddit

I used to love Mancow because I didn’t know any better. I always changed the station when he started talking politics because I didn’t know (or care) what he was talking about. I remember my aunt (a lifelong democrat) asking me how I could stand listening to him and I didn’t know what she meant. Now I understand all too well.

[-]

terifficwhistler@reddit

Oh man…I learned of the attack on 9/11 from Mancow. I was working as maintenance for a subdivision under construction in Crown Point Indiana. In my work truck that only had a radio. Listened to him every morning because nothing else was interesting to my 22yo self.

[-]

nayrlladnar@reddit

I am from Alabama and the only thing I know this dude from is his waterboarding stunt. I was more of a "Johnboy & Billy" kid. Thankfully I quit listening to them long before their curtain was pulled back.

[-]

ShawnPat423@reddit

Ah yes, Johnboy and Billy. I was raised in East Tennessee, and they were on three stations in my area (WQUT and WIMZ, where you can still hear them, and WBON, which dropped them when they changed from classic rock to hip-hop). I still occasionally catch them, but they either have very dated humor or they're just laughing. I mean, I heard a Bill Clinton joke on there a few weeks ago...it wasn't a repeat, but a new episode.

[-]

ShawnPat423@reddit

OPEN WIIIIDE FOR CHUNKY!

sigh whatever happened to Al Roker Jr? And then there was Freak's niece...I remember the Mancow website had an audio file you could listen to of her have an orgasm. I went onto the Wayback Machine a while ago, and I found it on a capture of the website, but obviously the file link no longer worked.

[-]

ShawnPat423@reddit

I liked him in the late-90s and early-00s, but he went very right-wing after 9/11. I stopped listening around the time Cowboy Ray was killed.

[-]

Lonely-Truth-7088@reddit

Turd Turd here comes the Turd

[-]

ThSlug@reddit

I never listened, but I knew him personally… sort of. My parents advertised with him, and we spent time at some parties and he came to our house and family business several times.

[-]

HatRemov3r@reddit

The only time I heard of him were when O+A were making fun of him

[-]

NeighborhoodPast2613@reddit

Yup, rock 103.5 and q101. Stopped listening in the early 2000s when he went way political. Heard he's streaming now, which I thought was ironic giving all the trash he talked about guys like Stearns and Dahl for streaming

[-]

jbmyre@reddit

I grew up in the Chicago burbs and I loved this shit in middle school. In 1994-97 Q101 and 103.5 were radio at its peak (and culture as a whole). On sick days or during summer Id listen to the whole show otherwise It would be on my walkman on the bus. What a time and place to grow up! I remember them spelling out "http://www." over and over again when their website launched and a bunch of other stupid shit from it.

It was a hacky terrible show but it hit just right for a 12 year old.

[-]

Appropriate_Spray941@reddit

I knew a guy who was a Chicago paramedic that was very depressed and suicidal trying to cope with a massive cocaine addiction. He called Mancow cause he loved him and was looking for some support. Mancow laughed him off the air and he wound up taking his own life a little later. Everyone has their own issues and it’s not Mancow fault but that has always stuck with me. That guy is a total D-Bag.

[-]

satismo@reddit

i listened when i was an 8th grader, which is embarrassing bc be is such a massive douchebag

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

Yeah, he's a huge douche, but we didn't know any better back then, lol.

[-]

satismo@reddit

also his humor is so juvenile, i don't think any of his remaining audience ever moved on mentally past the 8th grade

This dude thought he could hang with Stern. Like Howard or not he’s in another league from every radio personality ever

Yeah, came on my clock radio when I had to get up for highschool. Some of the prank calls and commercials were funny and I enjoyed a lot of the music.

There was a pop up event near me with al roker jr, gave out a cd, found one of my favorite songs from that.

Things were tense at home, so I spent time in the city and went to the Mart, see if I could meet any guests. Met Kurt Angle and Rob zombie. I believe Ron Jeremy. I have a shirt with some autographed bands on it. Even spoke to the cow. He was nice to me

There's a local carnival here in July and there's a pet parade. Dogs are judged on costumes etc. DJ luv cheese announces it.

My father loved Mancow, so I listened to it on the way to school when I lived with him. I had a few of the cds, I think I still have a signed White Cotton Panties poster somewhere. I even had some of the episodes of Mancow TV on an VHS tape, but sadly the tape is long gone.

Yes. It was peak shock jock era.

When I worked third shift, I'd listen to the alternative station that played Loveline. This aired on the same station so I'd hear the commercials every so often.

So much of the modern political era feels like people who are nostalgic for the shock radio talk era.

Stern moved away from it. Opie and Anthony broke up with Opie moving away from the edgelording but Anthony tripling down on it.

You see it in comedy too. Bill Burr is slowly moving away from the edgelord stuff while others like Joe Rogan have built an empire on it.

That could be it. I had stopped listening to 98.9 and that sort of stuff at that point, but that wouldn’t surprise me if that was what happened. Wasn’t Mancow on 107.3?

[-]

Celtinole@reddit

107.3 sounds right to me. There was a time they played some form of rock. Tough to keep track of kc stations other than 98.9 and 101, which have both remained mainly intact. Say what you will about Johnny dare, but he's managed to somehow stay on the radio forever. I remember his old ABIA commercials. Crazy

[-]

BulimicMosquitos@reddit

Yeah that was the “alternative” station before 96.5 came around. I listened to Johnny quite a bit, and had a few interactions with him, but I guess just moved on from that kind of humor. He’s kind of an ass, but was always nice to me. Totally remember those low budget ABIA commercials with Crazy or Fast Eddie, lol.

[-]

EatLard@reddit

He got himself into Fox News and made an ass of himself. Claimed being waterboarded wasn’t that bad and isn’t torture. Volunteered to be waterboarded and decided it actually might be torture.

[-]

Doublestack2411@reddit (OP)

Ah I did not know, that is interesting. I don't think he ever made it big after his fame in the 90s. I remember he had his show on TV for a bit, then it wasn't.

Yeah, he seemed to have beef with the local hard rock morning show guy, and I really don’t think that guy cared or was even interested in a rivalry, lol.

I forgot Stern was on that station. At that point I thought it was cool to represent locally so I listened to Mancow. I think I changed to Stern on commercials but never listened to him much on the radio. I saw him more on E! when he had part of his show telivised.

Mancow was such an ass. Still is from what I hear. Murphy in the Morning was a better show and kqx ws my morning station when he was on.
