Title: PBW vs. No Bull Radio: which show do you prefer?
Post by: Matterhorn on November 15, 2008, 06:25:40 AM
I like to download both PBW and NBR to get me through my weekly three hours of cardio. 

Dan and Bob are nice guys and seem to have what it takes to run a good show. So do John and Dave on the “dark side”. They all have the industry knowhow, smarts and emotional intelligence.

Sadly, PBW’s need to be politically correct is ruining the whole thing. Where's the humor and the controversy??? Personally, I think that the Howard Sternish style of NBR is way more entertaining than the robot like script of PBW.

Which of the two shows do you prefer and why?

John  Romano is a douchey guy so I don't like NBR. His girlfriend is a fat douche as well.

PBW is way better and entertaining.

Any radio show that puts Derek anthony and gregg valention on sucks a big fat black cock in my books.

Big Nation Radio is way better than the rest
“No Bull” brigns on Derek Anthony to talk about his break up with his girlfriend and bitch about the ring he bought her
I expected much more when they brought Victor Conte and Patrick Arnold about the Olympics testing
Conte was saying “I told you so” and partik was trying to get too technical which I think even dave didn’t understand
The one they did on Big Nation Radio eclipsed those shows big time

I think all the talk that they say on No Bull that where ever they go people tell them you are doing a great job with the radio show is a total bullshit and they just say that to show that they have listeners.  I don’t think they get more than 1000 per show; if the show is damn good

And I hate the way they talked behind Vic Richard and Udo’s back.  Dave couldn’t say anything to their face but trashed them after the show.  He tried to reason with Udo but Udo was much more intelligent for him and proved what dave was doing was wrong; so he fried him in his next show by getting on the guy who discovered macadamia nut oil

PBW is strictly bodybuilding. It's boring.

I like No Bull Radio because they have better guests and the shows are more entertaining. I also like Big Nation Radio for the same reasons.

To be fair, that's cause comp. bbing is BORING. There are no exciting finishes, no scores to keep track of, et cetera. To make things even duller, they don't even discuss realistic things, like cycles and such. They expect us to believe Muscle Tech (and the like) gave the pros their massive size and crazy definition. They're just like the mags, except they go "live".

Yeah thats kinda what I meant. I like NBR because they have guests on that tell some cool stories from the 80's and 90's, and just some really intelligent guests. Same for for BNR. Plus these guys are funny and act normal. Dan and Bob are way too serious... probably because they're told to be though. I stopped listening to it awhile ago.

Yeah, this is why i like NBR.

They often have doctors/dieticians/nutritionists on the show and, regardless of what people say about him, Palumbo is a very smart and guy they have very interesting, informative discussions.

I'm not a regular listener, but the last 2 i listened to were good. They had Victor Conte on one show (called Usian Bolt a drugs cheat) and Ronnie on the other. Romano and Palumbo pay the shit out of Kamali. Funny stuff.

That is not true. There is hardly any talk about steroids, much less about steroid specifics. More about supplements and nutrition (including the ones they have a vested interested in, of course).
Steroids are not the resaon why I listen to NBR.

But I like the News section, I like the ramblings of antisocials like "the Bull" or Valentino (much like Stern's wack pack), some sex and crime now and then, even to hear about John's gyno removal etc....they don't take themselves too seriously and the whole mix is so entertaining that the cardio sessions seem to fly bye.

Dan + Bob need to spice up their PBW show. Plus the whole Pepe segment is yawnX10

Now I gotta go to the gym.

I really like the guests that No Bull Radio brings on better than PBW. Dr. Udo Erasamus, Dr. Scott Connelly, Michael Zumpano, Dr. Mauro DiPasquale, Victor Conte, Pat Arnold, are just a few of the entertaining guests they've brought on that I've loved listening to. 

Sound
PBW is much better "sounding" than No Bull Radio. I don't know if Dan and Chic broadcast out of an actual sound studio or not but it sure sounds very professional compared to No Bull. 

Focus
It must be difficult for Palumbo and Romano to run a magazine, website, do contest coverage and build a successful radio show at the same time. Palumbo is also training many of the the pros out there and also running a supplement company at the same time!  I don't think No Bull will ever be able to compete with PBW for these very reasons.  This is all Dan Solomon is focussed on with his PBW radio show.  I think if Steve Blechman hired one person to focus entirely on this show, it could have great potential.

To be honest I didn’t expect my the show I would do would be so good … and when I heard Victor and Patrick were coming to talk about the drug test in the Olympics I thought they would be more informative that I was … but with all due respect my show was far better … maybe Patrick didn’t want to get into the stuff to avoid the legal action and victor was saving it for his book … which I doubt

PBW is more like the CNN of bodybuilding.  They give a lot of info in a professional format without all the jokes.  Most radio shows suck when they try to be funny. When I want to hear someone trying to sound like Howard Stern, I usually just listen to Howard Stern.  :-\

PBW = Boring as fuck.  Chick's corney ass jokes, metaphors, similies, hyperbolies. Dan and Chick ask safe boring questions.  It was cool the first year after that it sucked.

NBR = Sucked when Valentino was on.  Not very professional.  Much better now.  Good guests, interesting stories and topics. Uncensored.

Very similar to the mags.  PBW = Flex mag :-X  NBR = Muscular Development  :D

The jeopardy on no bull radio was so siouxcountry stupid.

That guy totally ruined the whole show because dave palumbo is a stupid walking freak who put him on the air to plug his kissass website.

That actually shocked me on how bbers are and people who are involved so deep in the industry are so low knowledged about the whole nutrition aspect … but hey so are most of the world class and top bodybuilders

Bloke i like your show but why is it that you are now trying to position yourself into a pussy wrecking machine personality...It diff/doesn't work for you...Everyone who listens to the show knows your backround...Next your gonna tell everyone how you just bought a new hummer or BMW...

Bottom line is its not translating over the radio...You should have gone the other route...Listen to Howard Stern alittle more or something...You would have way more stories to tell if you were the scared/eyebrow plunking insecure guy who is afraid to walk up to chick then the boring pussy wrecking machine that everyone knows is false...

The truer you can stay to yourself, the better it will go over the airwaves...
