O&A Listening Thread for week ending 6/13/08

[Servo]

Morning kids.

I like the way Naturman handled his booing... reciting Hamlet. Wish I could have gone to the animation show. A lot of those things were fantastic.

[RAAMONE]

its funny how jimmy has so many rants about how animals suck and are so stupid...but he often comes accross as a real animal lover

[ANC]

I thought Anthony only said F-U-N from the comfort of his Escalade?

[Servo]

Good one!

[Servo]

It sucks that they booed these guys. I can't say too much about Naturman, because I've never really seen him, but Russ Meneve is hilarious and deserves better than that from a New York crowd. They need to get him in studio.

damn...that was good :lol:

can't they use copyrighted music and just pay royalties? i trust that their legal department knows more than me, but this has me really confused. like they can play the music on their show, what's the difference in putting it somewhere else that people will pay for it?

Cuz XM doesn't want to shell out cash for the show. Opie's rant about it point to that.

[hexy68]

opie's chips must have had that Olestra ingredient in it...YUK!

[midwestjeff]

Wow. Huge endorsement for Louis C.K. from Ricky Gervais. Nice.

[jauble]

Wow. Huge endorsement for Louis C.K. from Ricky Gervais. Nice.

I love Ricky Gervais on this show...especially the time that Ron came in early and jumped in the interview.

[underdog]

Wouldn't they not have to worry about the royalty shit if they just gave them away, instead of charging for them?

8 works shows with him occasionally. Sometimes he does both the Sal Sincere and the Patriot gimmicks; I always wondered if he gets a double payday for that.

[Friday]

hey.... it's jayjay! :happy:

[Servo]

"Well, when you're done fuckin' her, let her down easy." Great line by Jay.

[MadMatt]

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. If it were OK as long as you didn't charge, videos of TV shows, Movies, etc. on Youtube, Veoh, etc. wouldn't have to be taken down.

I think everybody just wants their own payday...

[Freitag]

...Patriot? I thought that was Del Wilkes. Did he sell him the gimmick or something?

[RAAMONE]

holy shit...the sound jim made of him eating sams ass was hilarious

[hexy68]

Jay's killing...as always! :lol:

[MasterSoySauce]

jay the genius.

[Drunky McBetidont]

jay mohr was on fire with that call.

[Drunky McBetidont]

anyone agree with what anthony said during jay jay call that hateful posts should be deleted and the posters be removed from boards? some of the stuff written on the interwebs is shit.

[Hottub]

Jayjay with some great stuff.

[sailor]

big a singing "baby you surround me"...like a skin suit.

[Heather 8]

...Patriot? I thought that was Del Wilkes. Did he sell him the gimmick or something?

Del's a car salesman these days, and actually was recently sued by Ric Flair for using the "To be the man, you gotta beat the man" catchphrase in a commercial.

As far as ownership of the Patriot gimmick goes, it's a bit murky. Brandi's been using it for a while now.

[ANC]

Good one!

damn...that was good :lol:

I was going to call that in yesterday, but work called and effed up the timing..:wallbash:

[ANC]

This is really difficult to listen to.

[hexy68]

lil' jimmy will pull him off the ledge

[BingoCity]

Bunch of crap!

[ANC]

Bunch of crap!

No way that it's a bit, you could hear it in all their voices..

[Friday]

No way that it's a bit, you could hear it in all their voices..

Tom has never been a bit.

Poor guy...

[RAAMONE]

didnt hear the tom call...but why did they just break 2 minutes before the show is over?

[ANC]

Tom has never been a bit.

Poor guy...

Exactly, I think you misread my post, I was replying to a previous post calling it a bit...

[ANC]

didnt hear the tom call...but why did they just break 2 minutes before the show is over?

Because they were keeping Tom on the phone for so long.. Poor guy

[Friday]

Exactly, I think you misread my post, I was replying to a previous post calling it a bit...

i know that, poophead.... i was agreeing with you. :tongue:

glad they came back to 'splain to the new listeners ....


jesus..... the gun went off. :(

[BingoCity]

We should start a collection to buy these guys some acting lessons....

Funny how Tom sounds a lot like Sam

[ANC]

Ohhh...sorry I thought you thought, that I thought... awww forget it. :laugh:

Shut the fuck up. :bye:

[BingoCity]

Easy tiger

[BingoCity]

Opie...uggg....Fruncus!!!!

His voice gives away the lie every time!!

We'll see if Tom got arrested for shooting off his gun in his house....

[Heather 8]

Shut the fuck up. :bye:

Can't believe you're wasting a WB smiley on that guy.

Didn't hear the whole thing, but I heard enough. Not a bit.

[MadMatt]

didnt hear the tom call...but why did they just break 2 minutes before the show is over?

To clarify, Tom called in and is prepared to end it all. His condition has gotten worse and he doesn't want to go on.

I only heard the first half so I don't know how it ended, but the Boys were trying to talk him out of it.

[RAAMONE]

Funny how Tom sounds a lot like Sam

so when tom was at the virus tour...it was really sam?

[hexy68]

didnt hear the tom call...but why did they just break 2 minutes before the show is over?

they wanted to talk to Tom off-air to make sure he didn't do anything rash...Dr Steve to the rescue again....good job all!

[Heather 8]

Uh-oh, lawyers involved...

[Friday]

they always have their greazy hands all over everything..... just ask Mikeyboy :laugh:

[KingGeno]

Craziness ensues....I JUST shut off my XM to drive into work as Pendulum music was being played.

[Heather 8]

Voreskin budday!

[hexy68]

Opie really does have a heart!...who knew :laugh:

[Baby DEW Year]

Opie really does have a heart!...who knew :laugh:

Greg Hughes has the heart...he is the actor that plays Opie. Lngr Lgr

[Servo]

I tuned out for a while for my commute... how did it end up? Tom didn't off himself, did he? What did the lawyers do to fuck things up? (I'm ashamed to be a part of that tribe, BTW :annoyed:)

[Heather 8]

At last report, Tom was talking to Dr Steve. And lawyers are afraid that O&A will come across as encouraging Tom to off himself, apparently.

Gotcha, thanks.

Feel so bad for the guy. Very sad situation.

[BingoCity]

OK after listening again now on the XM side it sounds different....I'll change my tune.

When it first played it sounded jokey to me...I know Tom's history, but they were just talking about suicide the other day so it seemed a bit coincidental.

I take it back...

Thanks for all the name calling deuschbags!

Ron and Fez noon-3

I'm done with Anthony and Dopey!

[Friday]

Thanks for all the name calling douchebags!


Fixed.

And you're welcome. :smile:

[BingoCity]

I love when Jimmy gives us lessons on morality...the high pitched no chin!

[ANC]

That sounded like Franklyn

[RAAMONE]

yeah the lawyers are coming off looking really shitty right now but...the first thing i thought of when he said he was gonna kill himself was people playing back all his calls from the past of the boys telling him to do it and to do it on their show and making fun of him...i thought they were gonna be in for another vacation...IMO the probably would get into some kind of trouble...but i'm not a lawyer

just doing their jobs

[hexy68]

I'm done with Anthony and Dopey!

goodbye...i'm sure you'll be missed

[biggestmexi]

I'm done with Anthony and Dopey!

oh thats a good one. You should send then in to them. They might get a kick out of that.

Anthony and Dopey. LOLCOPTER

:dry:

[DolaMight]

just tunin in. is it "tippy tom" or "is tom alive" ? tippy tom sounds like this when sober.

[Heather 8]

*bang* "Oops! Hello? You still there?"

I am a dark, dark person, because I got a little giggle.

[Heather 8]

Is Tom Alive. And he is, for the time being.

[biggestmexi]

tom alive

jimmy inviting tom in over-and-over like he's paul mccartney or something.

um, so what was your first tune?

[Heather 8]

jimmy inviting tom in over-and-over like he's paul mccartney or something.

I don't think Tom's gonna be dancin' tonight, though. :sad:

[PD]

Is Tom Alive. And he is, for the time being.
This is one reason I like Dr. Steve - the guy really tries to help when he can.

His specialty is hospice care/ palliative medicine, so he would be very good for Tom to talk to.



Now the shameless plug-
Weird Medicine returns Saturday night June 21.

[Heather 8]

um, so what was your first tune?

"Dare to Be Stupid," I'll wager.

[DolaMight]

Is Tom Alive. And he is, for the time being.

oh shit they musta been scared. O&A would be fired from CBS and XM immediately if he killed himself.

Brietbart would grab just 30 seconds of audio from the old "is tom alive" bits of constant jokes about him killing himself and neither companies would even bother with a warning. Every major media outlet would play it over and over. No squares would ever get the context of that bit.

But did they not expect that this is exactly how this would eventually play out?

[Friday]

I don't think Tom's gonna be dancin' tonight, though. :sad:

maybe dancing with a Tactical Team...... hehe Opie big mouth
El Oh El!

[KnoxHarrington]

I don't think you call this much attention to a suicide attempt if you mean it. So I don't really think he was going to.

[Heather 8]

Not everyone goes the "quiet" route, especially when it's been built up like this.

[RAAMONE]

jimmy cracks me up

"i dont fart...i just leak cum loudly"

[biggestmexi]

jimmy cracks me up

"i dont fart...i just leak cum loudly"

yeah thats a good one. White volcano

[danner1515]

Jesus, Anthony really can't handle talking about anything serious. I usually love the guy, but he's getting on my nerves a little today.

[KingGeno]

We don't know Tom's internal situation. Who knows, MAYBE O&A is the only place he can go for venting his frustrations and anger.

[MadMatt]

Doctor Steve is a really good fella. I wish I could listen to his show, but when callers discuss what is wrong with them I just have to tap out. I can listen up to that point, but then I have to flip.

As such, I look forward to hearing approximately the first 30 minutes of Dr. Steve's show on Saturday night. :thumbup:

[CardiffGiant]

Wow crazy stuff this morning. Lil' Jimmy really did a great job talking to Tom. He truly is a good egg.

[Lady Resin]

I totally got siick to my stomach that Tom was going to do something foolish. I realized he's been putting up with alot of pain. I really hope he comes into the studio tomorrow morning. I feel so bad for the fellow.:sad:

[nukinfuts]

I was honestly thinking he was going to kill himself on the air it was difficult to listen to but I think it was handled well...it is nice that for as much as those guys can be asses they really handled a serious situation very well.

[nukinfuts]

Evidentally Tom was taken to the hospital

Unfortunately the lawyers decided it's in the corporation's best interest that Tom never be heard on the air again. Imagine if the one thing that would have kept him going was a visit to the O&A studios and the lawyers said no, then he decides to off himself because he didn't get his final wish... How would the suits feel then?... They'd feel nothing as usual! O&A (and especially Jimmy) did a great thing today and the suits can't see the amazing upside in helping this guy. All they're worried about is a possible lawsuit that might occur if he kills himself three months from now and utters "CBS" or "Opie And Anthony" with his final breath. They could save a man's life and they choose not to. I don't blame Opie for his hatred for the corporation.

[MadMatt]

I'm sorry, but IMO Anthony sounds like a complete a-hole when he bitches about taxes and paying for social programs. And the whole "Obama is going to start all sorts of new social programs" is a retarded argument.

I agree that the system needs to be revamped and there is a lot of waste, but STFU if you have more than enough to live on and just don't want to pay taxes. I get taxed to death and I DON'T have enough to live on.

Dickhead. :furious:

Anthony's political positions are utterly ignorant. Obama is, at most, slightly -- very slightly -- left of center. He has as many ties to big business as anyone. He's not a socialist. There will be no widescale redistribution of wealth.

Some of the Bush-era "tax cuts" will probably be rolled back, but even Anthony isn't rich enough to really notice.

That's kinda not fair Matt. Just because he makes a lot of scratch now he's not allowed to have that opinion? Sounds like he's just against the principle of it, even though it's not hurting his pocket the way it may hurt you or me, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

yeah...i know he brags about his money now...but he was basically homeless for a big part of his life...so he still probably has that instilled in his brain and wasting money on taxes that he doesnt feel he should have to pay

[RAAMONE]

great...they're talking about fucking presidential candidates wives...i'm sure this will end well

Exactly - His views on this are based on his own racism and fear.

He can have any opinion he wants, but so can I. It is my opinion that he is wrong - the more you make, the more you can afford to pay in taxes. A Flat Tax would be a better option, but right now the middle class is carrying the burden and it is slowly killing the country.

I agree that the current structure sucks and that we are paying far too much in taxes because the government spends like a bunch of drunken sailors on shore leave. The system needs to be fixed, so why not work toward fixing it instead of bitching that "I am wealthy and pay too much- fuck the rest of humanity." When you say stuff like that, don't be surprised if "humanity" says fuck you back.

"The Hero & P-Whipped Show"

:lol::lol::lol:


And they are saying on the show that it was just OK, but I am a big fan of "Unbreakable" - I thought it was a great flick.

[CardiffGiant]

I think the best part of today's show was Jimmy's rant about M. Knight. Loved the line that with a first name like that he should be driving a cab.
