First off, Savage, who was just voted the #1-rated talker from TSL, has interviewed Trump several times. Owens apparently didn't get the memo.

Owens' lamenting the fact that Savage has interviewed Trump (and other notables) extends to past rants from Owens and his various producers; at one point, Owens put out a mantra that if you did someone else's show first, you would NEVER be on Ronn's show, period.
That is laughable now as Owens' ratings are tanking and Savage is more popular than ever. No wonder El Lowenstein had a it-fit over learning of Trump's latest twenty minutes with the Savage Nation.
Oh well, Mr. Softie can always do another gadget show. He's real good at that.

Interesting stuff... Owens has been around a lot longer but has stuck with the boring, safe, middle road stuff instead of expressing non PC opinions. Funny that both these guys were close friends with Lorenzo P at NBR and other local restauranteurs but hate each other and are as different as can be... Too bad they can't get along. Both decent folk, only Savage much more open and interesting and non PC
ReplyDeleteSavage & Trump can do no wrong, in my opinion, unlike certain radio anal shekelmeisters.
Delete2 Things: (1) All Lowenstein is good for is dog shit, & (2) That Dr Savage used his clout, stature & well-earned connections to interview the future President of the United States of America.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, Ronn's show was simulcast on KABC in Los Angeles, and that grand experiment lasted about 350 days. An LA Times writer dismissed him as "bland" and called his show reliant on "McTopic" -- presumably with a lot of empty calories. And this was in 1998!
ReplyDeleteYes remember that grand experiment too.
DeleteMr Cool thought he was going to mingle with the stars down in Southern Cal.
It's even funnier when you remember that Owens didn't like Savage from the start. I remember when Savage did some early broadcasting from KGO, Owens badmouthed him on air about being a slob in the studio and expressed general disdain for him Now look where they are.
ReplyDeleteWho is the old corpse sitting in the chair?
ReplyDeleteWhere did you dig up that gruesome photo Lieberman?
Savage has a national listening audience, Owens's is provincial, and broadcasts in an area where he has little popular support. In a general election Trump would be lucky to get 32% of the vote in the Bay Area (slightly more than McCain got)
ReplyDeleteWho's show would you go on?
Besides, guys with fake hair know to avoid Ronn's show.
I heard Ronn's show a few times and was not impressed - I always return to Dr Savage's radio for the automatic hype in the arm - he talks what we are all thinking but too afraid to say it. I can listen to Savage all day all week. Kudos to Michael.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Let's keep giving Tribble Head more fuel in the polls.
ReplyDeleteThe end is nigh...
Way off topic, but I totally have a "Girl Crush"... on Brittney Shipp!
ReplyDeleteShhhh
The seed for the Trump presidential run and victory was first planted in 1994 when Savage had his first show on KGO. When I watch Trump and hear him speak, I see and hear Savage! Both great Americans.
ReplyDeleteUh, correction Anon 11:49-- Both despicable, anti-American, racist, fear mongering assholes.
DeleteTypical etitled, narcissistic, the-world-revolves-around-me J.
ReplyDeleteWho are you talking about Savage or Ronn, could possible be about both, except Ronn has some manners left, Savage not so much.
DeleteWho is this Owens guy?
ReplyDelete7:58am - you call Savage and Trump ANTI American? You drooling moron. You are the epitome of stupidity.
ReplyDeleteTrump has been on Savage many times. Hard to believe a broadcasting pro like Ronn would not know that. I
ReplyDeleteNot surprised to hear that Ronn Owens had a hissy fit over Savage's interview with Trump.
ReplyDeleteRonn still cannot accept the fact that there is a new dog in town.
Ronn still thinks SF is his own. Not to be shared with anyone else.
News for your Ronnie. But Savage has the ratings and you don't.
Owens laughed and said Savage would never make it in radio. Now Savage is a highly rated, nationally syndicated host while Owens is a local host with a dwindling listenership.
ReplyDeleteThe media and political establishment types laughed and said Trump's campaign would flame out before last fall. Now Trump is destined to win the Republican nomination and--with tremendous disorder happening on the Democrat side between the socialist Bernie Sanders and soon-to-be indicted Hillary-- he is likely to win the Presidency.
The parallels are fascinating. And it's fun to see the little guy win.
