I HATE to say this, but I am falling "out of love" with O&A.  I haven't given up completely, but there just doesn't seem to be a need for me to listen like there used to be.  The XM show has really been sliding in quality over the last few weeks.I hope these are just growing pains.EDIT:  I was thinking a little more, and what REALLY bugs me is that if I ever tried to voice these opinions/concerns to O&A they would just tell me to quit listening - the show is not for me.  I bought XM for O&A and have been a loyal fan since they syndicated to Philly the first time.  I want the show to be successful and have legitimate concern for what is happening to the show.  IMO they were better when they had fewer listeners and were still the underdog - now they are taking their position for granted.Sorry, I guess I am just frustrated and needed to vent.

It reallly seperates them from the avg listener. They are hard to relate to now. The best thing about O an A back then was that we could relate to their stories and they were like US. Now its different. Like when Ant used to talk about how he would struggle with some shit like spending all his money on a Jet Ski, or using all of his check to pay bills and stuff. Now its Hey i am filthy rich, I baught this or i have that. And it is really hard to relate to. I don't if anyone else feels that way.

I was never an Ali G fan but Borat was hilarious this morning. It's also hard to put down a movie that has a 95% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. That's pretty tough to pull off. After hearing him on the show I will definitely see this movie.

His media blitz has been insane.  He's on every channel and seems to be repeating the same jokes on every interview.  I still love the Borat charachter though, and won't let the over-exposure ruin it for me.  I have both Ali-G dvd's, and Borat has always been my favorite.  I'm going to see it with my 3 nephews tomorrow night.  I can't wait to see it.

I don't think its a big deal. It's a different world in some places. My grandma lives in a small town in southwestern iowa where i think it wasn't till the early 30's or 20's that a sign was removed from the front of the town outlawing coloreds inside the town limits on warning of hanging. That was for real. It all stemmed from a family being and 2 girls being axed that is still kind of unsolved(*by the way this is the coolest unsolved case you'll ever read about and it's not a hugely popular crime.  Do a search on Villisca axe murders), where the main suspect was a guy nicknamed blackie who was white. I still don't think there are any black people living in that town or around there. Their racism is really old school. My grandpa will say to me that boy is smart I think he has some jew blood in him. I didn't even know people were still doing the jew bit up unitl borat. I don't even know what my point is, other than they never meaing no harm.

I was driving home and listened to the first 3 "acts" of the Last Pest Standing.  The girl wasn't too bad, but she was playing to the crowd and just insulting individual people by name who were part of the O&A online group.  The two guys who followed her shit the bed.
