Ron Fez Opie Anthony

[at least pretend]

Alright, I can understand enjoying the Opie and Anthony show for what it is. Anthony is funny and so is Norton. Opie brings nothing to radio.
But for anyone to even think they are in the same galaxy of talent and funny that Ron and Fez are in, is beyond me.

[JerseyRich]

yes.

[Bossanova]

Couldn't you at least pretend Opie was funny............................................. .......................ZING

[us1087]

If you don't know what Opie brings to the table......you need to go listen to Howard. :wallbash:

[Foster]

opie is the architech of o & a
it was also his foresight to bring ron & fez to xm
plus his bursts of cruelty make great radio

[at least pretend]

Well then he should produce. Because in terms of talent, he brings absolutely nothing. His cruelty isn't even funny. It's just like listening to a bully, not a comedian.

Replace Opie with Big A.

[oldladyfacepuncher]

Opie is a character played by the actor Greg Hughes.

[Da Fish]

Well then he should produce. Because in terms of talent, he brings absolutely nothing. His cruelty isn't even funny. It's just like listening to a bully, not a comedian.

BIG AAAAAAA

Wow. You really dont get the show at all then sir. Opie keeps the show moving along and directs it. if you listened a few weeks ago. Opie left the show early because he was sick. The show didnt run as smooth as it does with opie running the helm. Jimmy made the same point to Ron during his Unmasked as well. Saying you could replace Opie with Big A is a pretty assinine comment to make as well.

[DOHO@HOME]

Wow that is a sorry thing for you to say Opie is the best thing for a lot of people in radio.
He has made careers for everyone he has ever taken under his big loving caring wing.
you should be happy you have been able to hear the best broadcaster of our time.
How dare you, please take a few weeks off from xm and think of what you said.:thumbdown:

You are very wrong about Opie. It took a very long time for me to get his role on the show, He might not offer a lot of laughs and might appear to not bring anything to the table but he brings a nice balance. He also is great at moving the show along even if he appears to be a buzz kill on stopping the funny moments on the show.

Also Anthony isn't funny he is a racist that doesn't have a clue. He is a hate mongering ass. He used to be a funny guy but this election has really brought out the awful in him. Anthony equals all those people screaming "kill him" and "terrorist" and "treason" at the McCain rallies. He also has forgotten why were were given the right to bear arms to being with.

Jim is underrated and I have fallen in love with him over the last few months.I have always had a love hate thing for him but he has won me over.

Scott, fine then you can strike the word comedian and replace it with funny.

Luckie, the Big A comment was clearly a joke.

Wow, he can make a show move along and direct it. You have producers for that, and if not, you can be funny and move the show along like Fez.

[DarkHippie]

Opie is the straight man to Ant and Jimmy. Its a much harder job to set up the jokes than to tell them.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Opie wasn't on the day they had Omar on. Ant and Jim promised to play his song and strung it along for 40mins until Omar had to finally say "can you please play my song". I felt bad for the guy

Anthony and Jim are too A.D.D. to move the show along. Without Opie, its proven that Anthony will just go on and on and on with the same subject. Anthony and Norton's ability is taking material and making it funny. Opie brings the material

Not only is Opie important to the show..he is the MOST important part of the show. Without him, the show would be a mess. They've done shows without Anthony and Norton, they can't without Opie

[hydee]

Also not to mention Anthony and Jimmy's horrid interview with Adam Yauch. With out Opie that interview was awful, filled with hack questions, that Adam answered sometime during the early 90's. It might have been the worst interview I have ever heard with a real star.

To make matters worse less then a year ago they had a guest on that wrote an oral history on the Beastie Boys that they could have freaking read to get an idea about how blacks really treated the band. Good god how stupid did they look asking if blacks gave the BB a hard time when they were starting out.

Opie is a great asset to the show, people that don't get it really should try.

[Dougie Brootal]

qfmft!

[GreatAmericanZero]

yeah this thread is an ignorant thread. Its an argument many of us heard before, some of us even thought it when we started listening to the show..but it comes from ignorance of the Opie & Anthony show.

Even people who hate the O&A show, if they are well aware of the show (like former fans) even they understand Opie's role.

To compare to hows to one another does a disservice to both. They are uniquely different. Enjoy each for it's own merits, or not.

you should've seen Fez before he peaked in 1998

[mikeyboy]

Did anyone else read this thread title and think he put the tags in the wrong place?

[MisterSmith]

Opie is extremely good at what he does and has come up with some really funny stuff.



***Wow, my comment added nothing. What I was trying to say is that Opie manipulates the direction and tambor of the show masterfully. He may not get in lines with the frequency that Anthony and Jimmy do, but Opie is a genuinely funny guy that has the radio acumen to make the show great.

[drusilla]

that may have been the worst fucking interview in the history of interviews. it pissed me off so much. they came off sounding so fucking stupid asking questions that everyone should already have known the answers to. it was really terrible. it almost made me feel bad for anthony & jim. they are so out of touch it was terrible. opie does get like that at some points, but not as bad as they did that day.

[hydee]

The thing about Opie is that he is into music,books, and movies. Not to the extent that Ron does or anything but he has an artsy side that he gets to stretch during an Adam Yauch sort of interview.

I am surprised sometimes at how Opie makes those interviews interesting. Jimmy does a good job when it is people that he is interested in but he isn't as versatile as Opie is. Anthony is kinda meh during interviews, he does keep the humor going but not much else.

I really wish that Opie could have been apart of the Adam Yauch interview though. I know he was dealing with personal stuff but Jim and Anthony came off looking like tools.

[GreatAmericanZero]

wow i had no idea that the Adam Yauch interview was so controversial!

[drusilla]

it was so boring

That interview is a bad example about Ant and jimmy. Remember Opie went off pretty much 5 -10 min before Adam walked into the studio. This was during the whole NY Post Lindsay thing. Ant and jimmy made a joke and Opie went off on them. Then after the interview opie just left and ant and jimmy did LOTD without him. That was just a very cringey XM show. The only one that was probably cringey was the jimmy / opie fight from years ago.

Regardless of what was going on they could have done some fucking show prep for one of The Beastie Boys. For crying out loud. Jimmy and Anthony get no slack for that interview they are professionals and should be able to act like it no matter what.

Opie's personal life is no excuse for them being unprepared and most likely hoping that Opie would shoulder the burden of this interview. Adam Yauch isn't a freaking Fall Out Boy he is part of one of the best rock/rap bands that ever was.

The fact that they had a guy on their show that wrote book on The Beastie Boys makes this whole situation even worse. It also means that they will plug anything and don't read what they plug.

The aftermath of the interview was amazing radio too. It showed that Ant only gives a fuck about him and his issues and doesn't care what is going down in anyone's life. Opie yelling at him to shut the fuck up while Opie vented was sad to hear.

Opie has been amazingly supportive towards Anthony in all his ex wife dramas this was a time that Anthony could have stepped up and shut up. He had to ham it up instead and he looked like an ass.

Also the divorce talk is old.

Anthony knew that he didn't want to marry that woman. He has said over and over about how he bought a ring on the fly and asked. So I don't feel any sympathy for him, the alimony issues he has, is more like a stupid tax because he put himself into a marriage that he didn't want to be in. It's not like she asked him.

[ParkmanPotatoWater]

Opie has been a little preoccupied with getting lilly her job, cut him some slack!

Dude. relax. I was just saying thatw as a bad example. Sinec their was a ton of drama in the studio that day. Thats all. You went on a tangent for no real reason. If you wanna bring up the Omar interview. I totally agree with what your saying. The Beastie Boy one not soo much. I think they could have had Claire from Lost and still would have been a clusterfuck interview. Thats all.

As for the divorce talk being old. The only time its brought up is when some comedian on the show is going through a divorce. I cant think of the comedian that comes in that used to be on Air America. The one going through a divorce. Thats the only time you really hear stuff about his divorce and stuff.

[jennysmurf]

The correct order for the title should be: Anthony, Fez, Ron, Opie. Does no one remember the AFRO show? C'mon people!

Anthony brings up that divorce all the time. the 40k story is so used it feels like a cheap hotel mattress.

Mark Maron is the guy from Air America.

The point you are missing is that interview being a cluster fuck was due to Anthony and Jim not caring, you can bet your ass if that was Ozzy or someone that might have bumped into Ozzy on the street sometime in 1983, the interview would have been more professional and had more care taken. Also asking an almost legend in the music industry hack questions that he most likely hasn't had to answer in a decade is just plain pathetic.

you do realize people dont listen to the show everyday

i hate when people say "oh whatta ya know they bring that up again"...when they might only bring it up like once every 2 months

regarding the interview...they really dont know music that well...and who cares

[Sudsy Mug Saloon]

Opie stinks.....I love the show but there are so many days where I just can't wait for 12:00. He seems to just do the gig for money and as a job, the passion I think left him with them when they left WNEW. Thank God for lil Jimmy.

Honestly what would you choose if both were on at the same time?

[CofyCrakCocaine]

There is no one single way to 'GET' the O&A or R&F show. Think of it like Sunday service at the Lutheran congregation. Each person sitting in the benches are getting their own unique version of worship out of it. Ya got some people who think about Martin Luther. Others are thinking about rebelling against the established order which had led the Catholic church wayward. There's Fez who thinks about Luther Vandross. Just because it's different from how you perceive things doesn't make those guys non-Lutherans.

Same with radio show fans. O&A are a different cut of entertainment from R&F in several ways. There's plenty of overlap, sure. But there are large gaps between the shows regarding audience expectations and who the guys on mic are to name two differences.

Opie to me is the GI tract of the O&A show and of whatever radio station their show is on. He pushes the shit along until it shits out your ass and creates a big mess - sometimes he acts up and doesn't do a good job and your tummy starts growling. But without Opie, all your guts would fester and stink and eventually explode from all the waste accumulated within. Without Op, we'd never have O&A or in my case, R&F, since his show introduced them to WNEW (and later XM).

To say he brings 'nothing' to the table just makes you sound uninformed and more than half retarded. I don't gotta admit anything- I have no bones with bashing the O&A show during times where they suck- but Opie definitely is a great aspect to the radio. At the very least, he's the guy people like to hate, and that's something for radio land. Personally, he was always very nice to me the handful of times I've met him.

I'm sure I wrote more than some people will care to read, but that's OK because they're stupid and their opinions are worth less than shit to me. I've said my piece.

[Chimee]

Exactly, I like to listen to the shows and then start sticking note cards that say "Ron and Fez Noon to 3" on people's doors.

Ope brings up the 40k story. Ant really doesnt.

Thnx about the comedian. I couldnt remember which one.

I get your point about them not caring. But the Omar int was a bit of a clusterfuck as well. This was a guy jimmy LOVED. But it still didnt run smoothly. Thats all I was trying to say.

jesus, its just not smart to start a new thread, being a new member, to express how much you hate 1) a great radio personality, 2) a person that influences and is influenced by Ron and Fez, 3) is a huge reason why Ron and Fez are on XM right now. if you need to complain about it, go read some other "I HATE OPIE, HE BRINGS NOTHING TO THE TABLE, IM ANGRY TYPING GUY! BLIND CC BLIND CC" thread. its like jamming your cock in a light socket and being surprised that you get shocked.

I am all for freedom of expression but your opinion is so off in left field that it is quite obvious that you don't get the show and haven't been listening long enough to find out that you are wrong.

opie is not the comedian or the funny guy...he is funny now and then but hes there because he is smart and knows how to do radio

if he wasnt there the show probably wouldnt even be on the air

Anthony and his divorce is old no matter how you cut it. I am sorry if I don't want to hear about it over and over again. Opie and Anthony bring it up enough that you have to be living under a rock not to know about it.

And expressing being tired about one aspect of the show. Doesn't make you a bad fan of the show, it just means Anthony should get over his divorce.

Mark Maron should get over it too listening to him whine about it every time he comes on is tiresome.

Divorce sucks acknowledge it and move the fuck on.

i personally really enjoy hearing his divorce. i will ALWAYS like it. they really dont bring it up enough to make a person angry about it. i didnt say that not liking a part of the show makes you a bad fan. in the end though, if you dont like it just change it, though i am assuming that you do.

the few times that Mark Maron is on, yes, he will talk about it if it comes up or if he brings it up. so what, he is getting a form of therapy that isn't just useful to him, but useful and highly entertaining for the audience.

maybe you just dont like to hear or discuss divorce, but whatever it is, its funny and they will never stop talking about - EMBRACE IT, my friend!

[Dr Steve]

Alright, I can understand enjoying the Opie and Anthony show for what it is. Anthony is funny and so is Norton. Opie brings nothing to radio.
But for anyone to even think they are in the same galaxy of talent and funny that Ron and Fez are in, is beyond me.

They're in different galaxies, but they have a common center of gravity.

I have to disagree with you about Op...he makes me laugh on a daily basis. He's a different kind of funny from Jim and Ant, but he's still funny, and more importantly, he KNOWS funny. Also, if you've ever visited the studio, he's definitely the "man behind the curtain..." he's constantly picking and choosing what's going to happen next, keeping it all rolling, while communicating with the talent and staff. It's really quite amazing to watch and he is most definitely a radio god.

[FUCKTWATtheCLOWN]

Also asking an almost legend in the music industry hack questions that he most likely hasn't had to answer in a decade is just plain pathetic.

You really cannot expect that kind of interviewing from O&A. They just aren't the type to feign interest, nor do they have the natural interviewing skills of a Ronny B. If they are interested in the guest, they do the interview from a fan's perspective (Ozzy, Ken Burns, etc.) and those are usually pretty good. If not, they talk more openly and just make things conversational and maybe develop a relationship between the guest and the show (Kevin Smith, T.J. Miller, Mick Foley, etc.) You can't expect an "Unmasked" type of interview from this type of show.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

They can have great interviews, I just think it depends on how they get along with the interviewee. Travis Tritt (or however you spell his name) was a great interview and I had never heard of the fucking guy before then. On the opposite end of the spectrum you have the OMFG ITS SAMUAL JACKSAN ONDAFONE ass-lapping Zoo Morning garbage. It's a shoot either way.

[GreatAmericanZero]

since this thread seems to be about O&A interviews now..i gotta say, i was really impressed with Edward Norton today

I can't believe he called the show back. He was on the phone talking politics for 15mins, said he has to do another phoner but he will call back later and he called back an hour later and talked some more.

It definitely showed alot of integrity amongst all the phony actors O&A usually interview

[Bob Impact]

2) When people disagree complain about how you can't "express your opinion"
3) Dramatically swear "I'LL NEVER COME BACK HEER AGAIN!~"
4) ????
5) Profit!

Did anyone else read this thread title and think he put the tags in the wrong place?

Mikey Boy is it me or are you giving out alot of new passwords:wink:

[luckie1710]

in the history of the O&A show Mark Maron has talked about his divorce like 2 times

hes barely ever even on the show

I know!!! It's not like he is Voss, Bawby, Patrice or Louie CK. Who are on the show a lot.

Alright, I can understand enjoying the Opie and Anthony show for what it is. Anthony is funny and so is Norton. Opie brings nothing to radio.
But for anyone to even think they are in the same galaxy of talent and funny that Ron and Fez are in, is beyond me.

for the last 6 months, opie has been the best on the show, IMO

[luckie1710]

since this thread seems to be about O&A interviews now..i gotta say, i was really impressed with Edward Norton today

I can't believe he called the show back. He was on the phone talking politics for 15mins, said he has to do another phoner but he will call back later and he called back an hour later and talked some more.

It definitely showed alot of integrity amongst all the phony actors O&A usually interview

GAZ - He has called the show a bunch of times in the past yr. So that wasn't too surprising. Plus he didnt really plus his movie. So that played into his callback as well. It was still very cool that he called back. But im sure that played a part.

There are so many people, even a lot of fans, that really do not understand just how important he is to that show.

yea, that and as he gets older, i dont think he gives a fuck as much, and feels more comfortable with everyone. Cause he says, usually under his breath, some of the funniest lines on the show almost every day, usually also being incredibly mean and insensitive

And even though I love them both, the Jimmy and Anthony show would be an absolute clusterfuck of a show.

i remember a time when opie was sick back on NEW and it was just anthony with Rick and Stephen Lynch. although unitentionally hilarious, prob the worst show they ever did as the opie and anthony show

I remember them playing that about two years ago. Maybe more.
It truly was shit.

And if it's the Anthony and Jimmy show, every bit is eventually ending up in one of two places: Robert Reed or George Harrison.
Opie keeps that from happening every five minutes.

It would be oddly awful and funny at the same time to hear norton and ant do a show where they just make fun of people and do movie quotes the whole time

i know that

but most snobby actors would just be "fuck those guys...they didn't even mention my movie!"

i know he loves jimmy and has called a few times before..but he just came off as a really genuine, cool person. I think most rf.net-ers like Edward Norton's work..he does good stuff..and its just refreshing to see him come off as an honest, regular person

I could only take it until either Reed or Harrison came up.
That horse has been beaten so bad, it doesn't even resemble a horse anymore.

Opie is a hero to millions. You sir are a douche

[at least pretend]

Bob Impact, good one. Clever.
TjM, mature.

It is cringe-worthy when Anthony gets on his soapbox, like this morning, and talks about politics and things he knows nothing about. And they let him go on for like 10 minutes at a time about taxes. It's awful programming.
