Man was I sick to my stomach to hear Bobby "The Champ" fucking up AGAIN on O&A's show.  I had to turn the fucking feed off in the middle of them giving him the business about touching Anthony's stuff and being an ass in the studio in general.  WHY would you touch other people's stuff?!I think it's about time we just completely write off The Champ.  I'm sure a certian amout of the on air stuff they did the last time Bobby messed up was a bit, but it's embarrasing to the Ron and Fez show that Bobby keeps doing this.I think it's time to forever retire "The Champ" from his name.

He was sooo toast today.  He couldn't defend himself when the evidence was presented and looked stupid trying to say Hawk put him up to it.  It boggles my mind why he would mess with Anthony's stuff, especially after knowing how badly Harry got tagged.Definitely need to retire the "Champ" monicker.

I didnt hear what happened, but Bobby was good on the Ron and Fez because they knew how to get the funny out of him. Opie and Anthony arent going to do that for an intern. Its easier to dump on him about stupid reasons (whether they were or not). Although it seemed that Bobby can be an ass and not realize how that attitude can get under peoples nerves.All in all umm i'm stoned.

HBox

02-21-2006, 06:13 PM

After O&A yesterday, he was slacking off  in the studio, sitting in Anthony's chair doing horrible impressions of Anthony's impressions while using his megaphone. Then he tried to lie his way out of it, saying Eric goaded him into it despite being caught on video. Anthony, being a germaphobe, didn't like him using his megaphone. Pompous behavior, sure, but a funny bit, which I suspect was the point.

Get each show a fucking office and work space and computers for stuff to be done during the show and this kind of shit won't happen.there is so much that can be done during a show to help it.  Unreal, boy they love pissing $ away but not on equpment for the shows they have or quality helpand the people who accept these Jobs (like Earl) kill it for everyone else by working for peanuts and it fucks it up for everyone else when you work for less than you should. Sell your soul for chump change for minutes of airtime just to be made fun of.  so thank you Earl, Harry for fucking all the other people with talent who might have had a good job with a chance at making some money, but when you asses work for shit pay, well they get shitask Lazlo, as I am not speaking only about my business.  As it never even happened with me.  Not when they set the bar so low already...good move guys.  Satellite could have been a new opportunity for a lot of people and you fuck it up from the get go.  gotta love people who don't value their self worth without realizing it has far reaching affects on other peoples lives and shows.the  the last time I was there, there was basically no fucking room for the shows, no desks, computers, even places to sit during the show.its ridiculous....how longhas it been?  Amazing the hosts do the great jobs they do....question is how long and what is being missed out onOK...focus...relax..Ahhhh Sasha <img height="291" src="http://i.a.cnn.net/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/2006/02/08/gallery.olympicportraits/cohen.jpg" width="521" border="0" />A very hot Sasha Cohen peforming the rarely seen Camel toe sit spin can someone make this a sig pic...ice ice baby, Can I have a Sasha Snow Cohen please

In midtown manhattan, I'm sure it's a perfect situation!.  there is so much that can be done during a show to help it. Fuckin X/m, the last time I was there hasbasically no fucking room for the shows, no desks, computers, even places to sit during the show. its ridiculous....how longhas it been? too bad the wrong upper execs are leaving   The NYC office is not XM's primary facility.  When the office was built, it was to be used for some secondary channels - Frank's Place, Broadway, and a few others.  Everything else was to come out of DC - a place that is a RADIO PALACE.When High Voltage came in and started taking off, the office space began to get cramped because it wasn't designed for that.From what I understand, a majority of the people that worked in the NYC office are now working out of the Lincoln Center office, with a few holdouts, that XM had to strike "deals" with in order to have O&A have the entire office space.  Logan said as much during one of his phone spots recently. Finally, do you need some more dynamite to blow up that bridge, Billy?

Tenbatsuzen

02-21-2006, 07:33 PM

One more thing:O&A said that they usually put their stuff "away" after the show to keep it out of R&F's way.  Since R&F was on vacation, they left their stuff out so they didn't have to re-set up everything before the show the next morning.So it's not a lack of office space, or anything like that.  It was simply a matter of conveinence for the show and an intern being stupid.Here's angry typing guy: "THIS JUST SHOWS THE DISRESPECT THAT O&A HAVE FOR RON AND FEZ!!!!  EVEN IF RON AND FEZ WEREN'T ON VACATION, THEY SHOULD HAVE STILL CLEANED UP THE STUDIO!!!!"

I do have to agree with Staples though Tenbats.  You just HAVE to be right in all things radio, and Billy is just a drunk retard everytime you address him.Billy was actually a huge part of Ron and Fez.  I'll take his word over yours in this area every time.  That's not a shot, just an observation.

Your avatar gives me negative wood.   My avatar has a very fashionable and dare I say, FUNCTIONAL hairstyle, and is also indicative of a radio programming genius.

I feel bad for the Champ but at the same time understand why this situation keeps happening. As Ron said, he needs to bust in the O&A studio and do something for a change besides role over. I would like to see him walk right in, first thing this morning, and tell Norton and Anthony he is through taking abuse from them and then let them have it with a verbal assault. The Champ has some serious talent but he keeps holding back, he needs to let loose and tell it like it is.

Eddie beat me to it....exactly.   Eddie>>> Anyone else find "the champ" to be incredibly annoying? I wish R+F would just keep him off the air, he has no "bit" other than parading around in a belt talking himself up. There have been "bad" interns in terms of talent, but they were usually likeable or entertaining on some level. This guy's routine on air got tired within the first 5 minutes. Makes me really miss Bitz or Benicio who actually had charisma and talent.

I'm flying with limited info here,but for Billy &Tenbat,the clear explanation from Anthony Cumia was that the XM big wig who quit was alone in wanting STASIS vs PROGRESS and didn't fit with their mainstream of gradually gaining new big names(like Oprah) and instead offered a typical bean counter strategy of conservatism in a competitive market.He didn't get his way,fortunately,or supporters in the ranks.So he walked.Anthony was deflecting a Howie attack and slanted NY Post article penned by a Howie supporter named SETH,a mouthpiece,in other words.Stern's friend was writing to spin a negative XM story.To me that's a big issue...implated or imbedded "insider" writers,posing as objective journalists.

It's my understanding that Sirius was also seriously in the red last quarter and for the same reason- lots of marketing.  XM gets more notice because some guy quit over the direction of the company.Getting all those other cubicles out of the area will be a big help.  As Billy said, there's not nearly enough room in there.  The full time people in there need their own desks and there needs to be a bigger waiting area for guests and the like.  It's ridiculous that the RF staff sometimes has to go into  the OnA area to use their computers and the like.  Also, they need headsets for the phones.  As for Bobby?  NEVER TOUCH OPIE OR ANTHONY'S STUFF!
