O&A listening thread for week ending 05/02/2008

[Furtherman]

HTG and O&A raving about the Ron Bennington cupcake right now.

[ANC]

HTG and O&A raving about the Ron Bennington cupcake right now.

They're Killing Me! I would kill everyone in my office for one right now.

[MadMatt]

They're Killing Me! I would kill everyone in my office for one right now.

Me too!!!







Wait... we were talking about cupcakes?

[hexy68]

lil' jimmy preferred the Pumpkin Spice cupcake...Blasphemy!!!!!! :happy:

[Epschtein]

im so happy that the aussie chick from lost is a sweetheart, she is such a cutie i would have been bummed if she was uptight.

seems like she is pretty relaxed and has a good sense of humor, goddamn that accent revs my engine.

*edit - just getting to listen to the show now obviously*

lmao at the guy that called with the rape question, fuckin' hilarious.

[IamFogHat]

MCA is a real bore in real life. This interview is going to be uncomfortable.

[hexy68]

MCA is a real bore in real life. This interview is going to be uncomfortable.

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

[jauble]

Is this awkward feeling to anyone else?

[Solace666]

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

BORING!

[hexy68]

Mumia got a fair trial douche bag!! :furious:

[hexy68]

did opie leave?

[MasterSoySauce]

yea this is a real awkward interview.

[chili]

Is this awkward feeling to anyone else?

It does feel awkward, even more so because I love OnA and the Beasties, but apparently they're boring as shit together.

[Furtherman]

Mumia got a fair trial douche bag!! :furious:

Exactly.

I haven't been able to stomach the beasties since their involvement backing that cop killer.

[hexy68]

this movie sounds as boring as this interview :sleep:

[Zorro]

great....come on to promote a movie and not no where it's playing....

[jauble]

The interview has gotten slightly better but it sounds like a phoner but he is in studio. I really wish opie would drop the homer "boring" clip but they wont do that to a beastie boy.

[chili]

Man that was lame. I'm really glad they didn't tear him up though. Oughta be fun after the break.

[jauble]

I bet all the LOTDs came from that interview. It sounded like Jim fell asleep part way through that.

[RAAMONE]

damn...i really thought they were just gonna turn on him...like the old days

[hexy68]

worst segment in a long time....i was waiting for a RAAMONE...!!!!

[IamFogHat]

damn...i really thought they were just gonna turn on him...like the old days

I honestly think they respect his work too much, and plus, to be honest, he might have been boring, but he was a nice guy, he wasn't being a prick or was totally out of it like other participants of cringeworthy radio gold past.

[chili]

I honestly think they respect his work too much, and plus, to be honest, he might have been boring, but he was a nice guy, he wasn't being a prick or was totally out of it like other participants of cringeworthy radio gold past.

Yeah he's just sort of a quiet spoken guy with political views virtually the polar opposite of any of the show's regulars.

[One Dead Fred]

They should have had a few espressos before the interview.

[RAAMONE]

I honestly think they respect his work too much, and plus, to be honest, he might have been boring, but he was a nice guy, he wasn't being a prick or was totally out of it like other participants of cringeworthy radio gold past.

kristen bell was nice to them

[Heather 8]

Chauncey strikes again... and how could he give Opie that "award" without looking in a mirror first?

[MadMatt]

Uh-oh. Opie is royally pissed.

No wonder he wasn't very involved in the interview...

Chauncey Hayden is a complete douchebag.

[RAAMONE]

"bam alfredo" hahaha

nothin better than cheesy dish jokes

[Heather 8]

He's even snapping at Ant.

[ANC]

What a douche Chaunce is. Why mess with this situation any further after you fucked up the first time?

[chili]

OOOOOOOO

drama

[Solace666]

Uh oh, fight... fight...

[Heather 8]

Mommy, daddy, stop fighting. :blink:

[RAAMONE]

wow

[Servo]

Holy shit...

[IamFogHat]

Oh no, I hope this doesn't turn into the Opie Vs Jimmy fight only with Ant instead.

[Furtherman]

They're fuckin' around?

[Dougie Brootal]

holy shit! trouble in paradise!

[ANC]

I think this is a nod to the article from the other week. Rick breaking up fights between O&A.

or maybe not? :unsure:

[Heather 8]

One "sociopath" comment, coming up...

[DolaMight]

FMQB Breaking News : O&A have split up. details to follow.

[Midkiff]

fight fight fight!!!!

the end of O&A!!!!


punch each other!!!!!

[jauble]

Vacation coming soon...ron and fez only on 202.

[reillyluck]

is it over? im too lazy to turn my xm on right now! what happened?

[Heather 8]

is it over? im too lazy to turn my xm on right now! what happened?

Think the Opie/Jimmy fight, only with Ant as Jimmy. Now Opie's ranting with no one speaking.

[Servo]

is it over? im too lazy to turn my xm on right now! what happened?

Chaunce Hayden is a cock, and Opie is a bit on edge.

[jauble]

is it over? im too lazy to turn my xm on right now! what happened?

Ant was trying to bring a little levity to the situation and Op is still just mad and snapped back at him.

[Bossanova]

Anyone else pleading for Ant to say one more funny comment?

[reillyluck]

Opie's girlfriend had sex with Bam Margera???? LUCKY!!!!!!!

[hurlmon]

Anyone else pleading for Ant to say one more funny comment?

Oh yeah i am.

[MadMatt]

Ant was trying to bring a little levity to the situation and Op is still just mad and snapped back at him.

To be fair, Anthony should have known to back off and not try to lighten things up. Opie is obviously pissed and he is never rational or calm when he is pissed.

[IamFogHat]

No bonus show today.:wink:

[Midkiff]

Ant's jokes actually were quite obnoxious and uncomfortable. I was quietly wishing he would shut up.



And now they're all refusing to speak like a bunch of bitches.



And now Ant's being a baby girl. "God forbid I move."

[Heather 8]

No bonus show today.:wink:

Well, the equipment breaking could stretch things out...

[ChrisBrown]

damn, I wish I was listening...what is happening...I thought she didn't have sex with Bam.

[Drunky McBetidont]

Anyone else pleading for Ant to say one more funny comment?

i am hoping esd comes in and puts on a shit hat

[DolaMight]

They should take this a step further and go for a phony resignation. Get the artie buzz

[reillyluck]

can you say "awkward"?? :huh:

[jauble]

Dead air always fun....I wonder what opie broke.

[Heather 8]

damn, I wish I was listening...what is happening...I thought she didn't have sex with Bam.

Chaunce's written a new article, setting Opie off, and Ant unintentionally needled Opie, fight breaks out, etc etc etc.

[Drunky McBetidont]

guess opie took a call from his cell and then smashed the phone and left

[hexy68]

why doesn't opie go to the Post and refute the story?

[x23x]

wonder how many folks were on the bleachers. uncomfortable..............

[Bossanova]

So awesome that they are doing LOTD

[reillyluck]

Dead air always fun....I wonder what opie broke.

might have been his cell phone.

[jauble]

I only wish they will play the opie jimmy fight for the extra time.

[Bossanova]

Does anyone remember when Opie was a cock during Ants divorce on WNEW? Ant handled it alot better

[DolaMight]

i am hoping esd comes in and puts on a shit hat

It would be great if ESD was unaware of the tension and suddenly appeared for what's up Dave's ass

[hexy68]

damn, I wish I was listening...what is happening...I thought she didn't have sex with Bam.

she didn't...Bam verified it didn't happen...no tape exists

[Furtherman]

Chauncey is loving this. Opie fell right into what an enemy wants most: arguments in his enemy's camp. Free advertising for his magazine. "What's this about? Maybe I'll check it out..." Totally lost his cool.

[Heather 8]

why doesn't opie go to the Post and refute the story?

Think he said something about not wanting the "correction" to be shoved in with wedding announcements or otherwise hidden.

[DolaMight]

Does anyone remember when Opie was a cock during Ants divorce on WNEW? Ant handled it alot better

But, but, but, Opie was having a................ "Moment".

[IamFogHat]

Oh thank god it's over. You'll never hear that break in a replay again.

[Jughead]

Im sorry to be a pain But could someone tell me what happened??..Hi Buddys..:bye:

[reillyluck]

Chauncey is loving this. Opie fell right into what an enemy wants most: arguments in his enemy's camp. Free advertising for his magazine. "What's this about? Maybe I'll check it out..." Totally lost his cool.

He learned from the best.

[Furtherman]

EXCELLENT point.

[MadMatt]

How many people bet there won't be a live show tomorrow... :bye:

[Hilge]

So who's the crazy douche that started this rumor, anyway?

[Friday]

Does anyone remember when Opie was a cock during Ants divorce on WNEW? Ant handled it alot better

You definitely have a point, but remember this drama revolves around the love of his life.
This is relatively new territory for them. And everything becomes tougher to deal with when it is affecting someone you love, and not pointed squarely in your own direction.

[x23x]

So who's the crazy douche that started this rumor, anyway?

all fingers point to Ben Sparks "dude ................. dude"

[IamFogHat]

How many people bet there won't be a live show tomorrow... :bye:

No one, they'll be fine. They had a heated moment (not this bad) a few months ago about FBA that got taken out of the replay, and I think Ant and Jimmy, who know how unstable Opie is more than anyone, understand that he's just at a breaking point and he happened to lose it on the air. It almost needed to happen. No reason for rumor mongering IMO.

[Zorro]

Opie...loved him in Happy Days...

[reillyluck]

i cant wait to hear the replay.

[jauble]

i cant wait to hear the replay.

What replay?

http://champdesreves.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/obi-wan-ben-kenobi.jpg

This is not the replay you are looking for.

[Jughead]

Thanks Jeff..........:bye:

[DolaMight]

To be fair, Anthony should have known to back off and not try to lighten things up. Opie is obviously pissed and he is never rational or calm when he is pissed.

Sure Opie was mad, but Opie's insistence to use the now tired and old story to make it a "moment" was phony. Ant knows the audience has heard all this before, the story really detailed nothing new, and decided to try and make it entertaining. Opie's overreacting and thinks everyone cares as much as he does.

[GvacMobile]

Best O&A XM show ever!!!

[Sweet_Ness]

Opie seems to think that it's ok to fuck with people unless he decides to be serious, then gets pissy. Enough already

[DolaMight]

Chauncey is loving this. Opie fell right into what an enemy wants most: arguments in his enemy's camp. Free advertising for his magazine. "What's this about? Maybe I'll check it out..." Totally lost his cool.

Yeah and Opie is trying to use this to do the same thing. Blow it out of proportion and hopefully put O&A in page 6 again tomorrow.

[hexy68]

does "Steppin Out" mag have a large readership?...how many people would have known about the new article if Op didn't bring it up (..sorry if his point was expressed earlier)

[Bossanova]

I also find it quite funny that Opie openly watches TMZ and laughs at the stories about celebrities and their issues, yet he almost blew up his radio show while not coping with his own situation

[HBox]

This is an interesting thing to replay now.

[Bossanova]

Opie: "Comedy is always funny, until it hits too close"

[ANC]

You definitely have a point, but remember this drama revolves around the love of his life.
This is relatively new territory for them. And everything becomes tougher to deal with when it is affecting someone you love, and not pointed squarely in your own direction.

I agree with you 100%. I would react the same way as Opie if it were someone that I cared about. I could take plenty of my own heat without flying off the handle.

How many people bet there won't be a live show tomorrow... :bye:

I got a feeling that there will be a live show with them laughing about the 'tiff'. Just like the Opie vs. Jimmy thing.

[badorties]

Sure Opie was mad, but Opie's insistence to use the now tired and old story to make it a "moment" was phony. Ant knows the audience has heard all this before, the story really detailed nothing new, and decided to try and make it entertaining. Opie's overreacting and thinks everyone cares as much as he does.

there's been a tendency in the last few weeks whenever a real moment happens, ant forces a joke to divert any attention

[Sweet_Ness]

why can't he just sue everyone and get back to the dick jokes

[reillyluck]

so does this mean that Opie is now mentally unstable?

[DolaMight]

Ant should tell OP to Save the Drama fo’ Yo’ Mamma

[Bossanova]

so does this mean that Opie is now mentally unstable?

thread in 5-4-3

lets say someone said your girl was being a whore and screwing some guy on tape...calling you an asshole and really upsetting someone you love...and having thousands of people hear it...i dont think he overreacted...you would feel the same way...unless your an insensetive prick like your coming off to be

[jauble]

Its the spaghetti on the wall all over again.

I just lol'ed in my pants (I actually dont know what that means)

I'm not talking about the Opie v. Ant fight, I'm talking about the new wrinkles involved with this new article coming out.

Opie is obviously seething and may need time to plan his next moves, if not simply taking time to cool down.

The fight on the show isn't the problem - the REASONS that caused the fight are. That's all I meant.

[Sweet_Ness]

yes but remember the audience you are talking to

Thousands? I thought they were the biggest show in the country

[Sweet_Ness]

adam was boring

[RAAMONE]

yes but remember the audience you are talking to

just saying that people think if your somewhat famous you completly stop caring about anything and when you do things they are only for more popularity

i'm not saying some dont...but there are still celebritys that are normal people

[Midkiff]

What if, after all this, the sex tape was real?

[IamFogHat]

Thousands? I thought they were the biggest show in the country

Technically, even a million people has thousands of people. :tongue:

[MadMatt]

Sure Opie was mad, but Opie's insistence to use the now tired and old story to make it a "moment" was phony. Ant knows the audience has heard all this before, the story really detailed nothing new, and decided to try and make it entertaining. Opie's overreacting and thinks everyone cares as much as he does.

But Anthony should have been able to read Opie better than that. He was obviously pissed and throwing stuff/destroying stuff out of rage.

Keeping his cool after already being angered is not one of Opie's strong suits, and Ant really should have paid attention to that.

Again, Opie overreacted - but it wasn't out of character for where his head was at the moment.

[RAAMONE]

What if, after all this, the sex tape was real?

i'd want to watch it

[jauble]

I dont know if I am in the minority here but I loved the uncomfortablity that Ant made. It might not be "radio gold" but now discussion about this show is moving on past the show. He said exactly what I would have said if I were in the situation with a buddy of mine. Also I would have probably reacted the same way that Op did in the situation.

[DolaMight]

Raaaaaaaaaammone.... Get RAMONE a box of triple-ply tissues for sensitive skin and shoulder to cry on.


Get over it. Opie more than proved to everyone the story was bullshit and now is just milking it for publicity.

[Midkiff]

i'd want to watch it

Me too!

[hexy68]

Ant should tell OP to Save the Drama fo’ Yo’ Mamma

oh no you didn't!!!! :happy:

[RAAMONE]

Me too!

is there pictures of her anywhere...perhaps maybe from daves wedding or something

[Baby DEW Year]

They left early to play GTA4.

[DolaMight]

That's all true but I feel for Anthony. Im sure he's been goin though this with Op behind the scenes for the past week and Op throws him under the bus for doin his job by making a joke at the prick journalist's expense. Just cuz someone's known to have a temper doesn't mean you have to take their shit.

[MadMatt]

They left early to play GTA4.

:lol: Holy S - I wonder if that is true. They just blindsided all of us with a dramatic bit so they could leave early and play video games. :lol:

I doubt it, but it would be funny as hell...

[MadMatt]

That's all true but I feel for Anthony.

Just cuz someone's known to have a temper doesn't mean you have to take their shit.

Yeah, I agree - Opie was definitely out of line. But it is also similar to the story of the Scorpion and the Frog... The scorpion stings because it is his nature. Opie blows up unreasonably in some instances because it is his nature.

Not saying that it's right, just that Ant should have seen it coming.

[Midkiff]

is there pictures of her anywhere...perhaps maybe from daves wedding or something

There is one of her kinda from behind, to the side, from Dave's wedding. She was wearing some sort of little yellow summer shirt.

[RAAMONE]

Not saying that it's right, just that Ant should have seen it coming.

the best part is that he was just making stupid little jokes about au gratin and alfredo...not even offending opie...thought that was funny

[DolaMight]

Also I would have probably reacted the same way that Op did in the situation.

Would you flip your computer over and accidentally hit your office coworker with a keyboard in the process? I would at home but not at work.

no..but most people dont have jobs like they do...i also would go into a coworkers office and ram a black dildo up my ass and proceed to suck on it

[RAAMONE]

as per orbitcast (http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/opie-fianceebam-margera-sex-tape-shocker-wheres-the-proof.html)

holy shit...they werent kidding when they said she was good looking

[badorties]

holy shit...they werent kidding when they said she was good looking

when i saw that pick, all i could think of was bobby kelly talking about how taken he is with her ... she's stunningly beautiful

[Midkiff]

holy shit...they werent kidding when they said she was good looking

Oh, how I hate millionaires.

[JPMNICK]

wow she is def smoking hot.

[DolaMight]

no..but most people dont have jobs like they do...i also would go into a coworkers office and ram a black dildo up my ass and proceed to suck on it

Of course we don't, but unless you are in the business performing in a live soap opera leave the personal lives shit off the air or else jokes will be made. No double standards. Work rage gets them ratings and work rage gets us fired. Radio Gold. This situation just seems too similar to the buzz Stern was able get off the Artie incident last week.

When in doubt about what a radio professional should do just ask what would Ronnie B. do.

[RAAMONE]

when i saw that pick, all i could think of was bobby kelly talking about how taken he is with her ... she's stunningly beautiful

i now get why jim cant understand how he does disgusting things around a girl like that...like his stinky sweatpants

Finally a pic of her, so some good has come from this story.

When Bam sees that he's gonna wish the sextape story was true.

[jauble]

Would you flip your computer over and accidentally hit your office coworker with a keyboard in the process? I would at home but not at work.

Yeah I would and I would apologize just as op did. For me I dont work in an office but I imagine I would have to aim for that.

[Midkiff]

Finally a pic of her, so some good has come from this story.

When Bam sees that he's gonna wish the sextape story was true.

Shit, now I really hope the tape exists. I wanna see that hole naked!

[chili]

LOL thats exactly what I thought too!

[RAAMONE]

she's stunningly beautiful

is opie hot?

like , i can tell if a guys ugly or not...but is she outta his league

[Midkiff]

is opie hot?

like , i can tell if a guys ugly or not...but is she outta his league

Yes, she is way out of his league.... but millionaire trumps all league boundaries.

[SPeeDy_Freak]

Glad to see them get all hot and bothered over this alleged tape but yet it was always fine for them to make a big deal out of false rumors of enemies of their show in the past.

Nice little comment at the end under his breath as he walked out... "great, more talking"

Welcome to the hell you like to bring to others, jackasses.

Perhaps they will think twice next time.... wait.... I should know better..... they won't.... they feel that they always know how to do great radio.

I'm still waiting for the quality radio program bbbbboys.

[Epschtein]

nothing ant said was that bad at all, holy douche chills batman.

[Friday]

i am listening to the fight audio right now and I would agree that Ant's comments were just silly and light, but it was clear from the beginning that Opie was annoyed with the interruptions.

Eeek. Cringy.

Parents fighting.

http://selfmadechick.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/sales-strategies.png

[Epschtein]

^hehehe nice pic

[hexy68]

just saw that pic of opie and lindsey...lil' jimmy's right...she's an 11 :clap:

[underdog]

Is irony the correct word to use when talking about Opie and Anthony laughing at celebrity gossip?

Not sure why he's making a big deal about this. Considering the ratings I doubt anyone knows who Opie is anyway.

Wow...Opie's tits are almost as big as Lindsay's

[Epschtein]

just listened to it again, anythony made 2 cheese related jokes and then 2 more comments that were in support of opie and ragging on chauncey but they werent "im fired up and taht chauncey is a fucker!", they were jokey "chauncey is a lame douche" comments, there was nothing to get all upset about.

and its actually ant that escalates the argument and gets riled up first, and its obvious that he got pissed because he thinks opie is handling this the wrong way (i agree), and because opie had just started throwing shit around and hit jimmy with something (accidentaly) off the air.

its mostly because of how opie is handling it that ant is mad imo, opie basically said on the air today "i just did a shitty interview with adam because of this, my girl is a mess over it, my life is a living hell, my friends and family and girl's family are all a mess over it, im fighting with anthony and breaking shit over it", i would guess ant thinks its not even worth much comment except to goof on it because its so ridiculous, and giving it airtime like this and admitting how much of an effect it is having on you is just playing into that douche chauncey's hands.

and dont underestimate the effect of bad ratings and then a horribly boring interview taking place right before this incident.

[Servo]

What are you even talking about?

they feel that they always know how to do great radio.


Well, yeah, why shouldn't they feel like that?

:huh:

[smiler grogan]

You always attack the ones you care about most the harshest. The blow up was uncomfortable, Opie is right to feel like he wants to defend his girl. He and Ant i'm sure have already kissed and made up.

[MadMatt]

they feel that they always know how to do great radio.

Well, yeah, why shouldn't they feel like that?

:huh:

This is by no means an attack on you Tom (or Speedy), but I really HATE it when they say this or that is "Great Radio." I can't stand being TOLD how I am supposed to think or feel, and something like "great radio" can be completely subjective.

There are many things that Opie (et al) say are "great radio" or "radio gold" that I think sucked or I didn't like. They should be listening to their fans to determine what great radio is, not declaring it to be so to make it so.

It is a major pet peeve of mine. Don't try to tell me what I like or what is good; let fan feedback determine what is good and what is not, and if there are a substantial number of fans that don't like it, that means it isn't "gold."

O&A use the terms "great radio" and "radio gold" far too frequently and too loosely IMO.

There are many things that Opie (et al) say are "great radio" or "radio gold" that I think sucked or I didn't like. They should be listening to their fans to determine what great radio is, not declaring it to be so to make it so.


Of course Matt, what is gold to some will no doubt be shit to others, regardless of what the hosts say.

My point was O&A, or any radio show hosts, are going to approach their show with the mindset that they know what they're doing, and believe that they can produce "great radio" on a daily basis. If a show didn't believe that, they have no business stepping into a studio.

Now, whether or not it winds up being "great radio" is a different story.

But I don't think that "turnabout is fair play" bullshit applies with the alleged sex tape situation. If for no other reason, Lindsay doesn't deserve it.

Yeah, that's what keeps it from being funny. If it were Opie or Anthony being dragged through the mud, it could be funny. But Lindsay has nothing to do with anything radio related.

[drusilla]

this interview with yaucher is fucking terrible

who doesn't know spike jonze directed sabotage??!!?!?!?!?!?!!!?

jeesus its actually boring me & i never thought i would ever say that about something involving mca.


yikes.

[Gvac]

I agree with MadMatt's sentiments.

And Tom, I completely agree that Lindsay doesn't deserve this but if there was some alleged "dirt" on Howard Stern's chick, do you think O & A would keep their mouths shut?

[underdog]

That's a little different, as Stern's girl is part of the entertainment industry.

But you're probably right overall.

QFT.

This really is terrible. They should've had a little fun with it. Just a little.

[Gvac]

Is Anthony still shot down from Saturday night or is he just bored to death?

Yesterday and today he sounds like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world but on the radio.

[Servo]

I agree with MadMatt's sentiments.

Probably not. Depends on what it was, I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember them talking about Stern blowing off his producer's father's funeral because his chick hurt her ankle. But that was something Stern brought up and addressed on his own show. This is the publisher of some bullshit rag with a vendetta printing what everyone involved (Op, Bam, etc.) has called an outright lie. Not the same, as I see it.

I think if it was something like this (e.g., a rumor about Beth in a sex tape), they wouldn't have much to say about it, the way Stern hasn't had much to say about Opie's situation. There's really nowhere for a "rival" show to go with it.

But that's not even the point. I was just confused as to what "false rumors" O&A have exploited in the past which they used against their rivals.

[Heather 8]

Strap in, kids... here it comes.

[midwestjeff]

Fuckin' starvin'...Earl, we got any Pam Alfredo back there?

wow

have they ever fought on air before? this is fucking weird.

I don't know, but they certainly went after Stern's daughter when she allegedly ODed at some radio station concert (I'm having trouble recalling the specifics, so someone please feel free to fill in the details). I thought that was way out of bounds, as is this stuff with Lindsay.

[danner1515]

Wow, pretty surreal. I was actually listening to the show this morning, but I must have stepped away from my desk during this part.

[Heather 8]

The Jingle Ball 2000 incident. I think they were trashing Howard for not being there right away when she went to the hospital.

I think it was a Z100 concert.

[walking joint]

i actually didn't think it was that bad. it was a heated moment and i saw where both were coming from. but from reading about it before hearing it I thought it was much worse. not even close to Jim/Opie.

[Heather 8]

It was a moment kind of thing (though not like the "moment" Opie was trying to have). Seemed a lot worse at the time... though this time around I was silently wishing Ant would knock it off with the lame jokes.

[Heather 8]

And a worst-of featuring Rick Delgado... curious choice.

[KnoxHarrington]

Is Anthony still shot down from Saturday night or is he just bored to death?

Yesterday and today he sounds like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world but on the radio.

He can't bring his gun to the studio, so he's scared. There might be black people in the building.

[TheQuestion]

He can't bring his gun to the studio

Good thing.

He might have shot Opie today.

I probably wasn't clear enough - I was sort of venting. Sorry about that.

They say that crap all the time and it always bugs me.

But you are right; taking pride in your work is only natural and expected.

[drusilla]

what was the jimmy/opie fight? i don't know if i ever heard that.

[Epschtein]

i actually cant remember what started it but it got much more personal and went on a lot longer than this one.

[Bossanova]

Op made Norton's comic friend sit outside for almost the entire show and during a break Jim said something and it went off from there

[Heather 8]

Op made Norton's comic friend sit outside for almost the entire show and during a break Jim said something and it went off from there

Jimmy's friend got bumped for Chris Jericho, and Jim thought Opie showed more respect towards Jericho than the comedian.

Missed the first hour... was yesterday addressed?

[danner1515]

Oh boy, it's never good when my home state makes national news.

[hexy68]

just tuned in...it's good to hear Opie's done with his hissy-fit he threw yesterday...a lousy ending to yesterday's show

[Voreskin]

Mornin ladies and gents!!! Happy listening today! Hope opie is ok.

[SPeeDy_Freak]

I totally agree. Yes, they had Crazy Cabbie in studio... only because he had an alledged Stern sex tape. Any consideration for whether it was true or not and whether or who it might involve?At the time they could care less. Does that equate to Lindsay being brought into this? In some ways, yes... but the fact that O&A have always taken their hatred for Stern to an extreme was best demonstrated when they were all over Stern's daughter alledged OD at the Jingle Bash. Again, what right did they have to make that public. I can now see why they had a gag order.... wouldn't Opie want this to just go away like it never happened? Certainly he would since it hurts someone he cares for.

So why was it OK for them to run with the alleged Stern sex tape when it was never proven to be confirmed? Why not check the story to see if it was true before bringing in an absolute loser (cabbie) to talk about it? Why was it OK to air Stern's personal problem with his daughter, which affects his daughter and wife who were likely hurt by the unnecessary exposure?

I am in no way a huge Stern fan but these examples are the mose comparable to what Opie and his g/f are going through.

They love to poke fun and run with alledged stories over the years (Stern, Tom Leykus) when it involved others, regardless of whether it hurt others. Now that Opie and his g/f are involved it is taboo?

This has always been my problem with O&A. The hypocracy.

But to their credit, I did listen to that segment, which is the only time I have listened in so damn long, even though I listened to only that segment. Now that I listened to that tirade, I can go back and not listen again.

I couldn't agree more. Opie can dish it out but he can't take it. I don't care if he is being a big man and defending his girl. He is being a big baby. grow up.

[RAAMONE]

oh its your day to have a serious moment...

good to hear they're joking about it now

[badorties]

Op made Norton's comic friend sit outside for almost the entire show and during a break Jim said something and it went off from there

and that friend was big billy burr ... now you know the rest of the story

[Friday]

i didn't have XM when that first fight occurred and i am painfully curious to hear it.
admittedly....

today they seemed to be fine, even let a caller joke with them about it.
alls well....blablabla

A lot of what you're saying is true, but the Cabbie sex tape was a silly thing that was allegedly done IN STUDIO and involved Howard. Therefore, it was a celebrity's dopey move if it ever, in fact, existed. Emily Stern, however, was not a celebrity and that was an unfair move. Leykis was knowledge that was in the public domain and was widely known before they discussed it.

Is there audio of this thing anywhere? I totally missed it.

I find it very entertaining that O&A always criticize listeners that take things personally... actually taunt some callers and say "what's wrong?... hit too close to home?"

Well, we see how they react when something hits close to home. This is just a great example of how their "honest show" is a lying pile of shit.

The whole "controversy" pissed me off at first, but since then I have adopted Raamone's viewpoint - it's still a good show and he does a tone of goofed up stuff.

It is ultimately entertainment and I enjoy it for the survival tips, not to watch some poor bastard suffer in the wilderness. Hell, if I was entertained by people suffering in the elements I could spend my day watching homelss people.

It's about the knowledge, not necessarily how the guy spends his nights.

There is so much editing and unreal aspects to all reality shows that if you don't like Survivorman because of his staying in hotels, you should pretty much give up on all of those shows.

man vs. wild

[MadMatt]

My Dad says the same thing. He says it stresses him out too much. :laugh:

I like Les Stroud too - he has a really unique filming style since he is one man running a bunch of remote cameras. However, he jsut doesn't have the "panache" that Bear has. Maybe it's just his British accent...

[RAAMONE]

did they just say they're having a "baby throwing contest"?

don't forget Peter Framton....

[badorties]

they get very middle aged and suburban when they discuss music, and tend to get a little anti-intellectual when it comes to most pop culture (but that might be more to appeal to a broader base)

i love them and listen everyday, but they come off having shit for taste
