Anthony in the morning, Opie in the afternoon

[GreatAmericanZero]

what do you guys think of that idea they mentioned on the show today?

basically, for those who didn't hear, Opie was saying how they should split the show up. He said that he wants to do afternoon, Anthony could do mornings (obviously R&F middays). It wasn't anything angry, they were just saying how it would be fun to do something different.

the conversation was obviously done in humor and will probably not happen, but what if it did? They said Anthony would do a more political show in the morning and Opie would do a silly show in the afternoon

i think it would be a great idea. I think they need to do something new to energize their passions in radio. They didn't know where Jimmy would go, but i think he should go with Opie. Maybe give Anthony another comedian friend..an Anthony and Patrice show would be great


so, with this concept, my fantasy 202 schedule would be

7-10 - Anthony's N(bleeps) and Guns show featuring Patrice (if the show is good, i think they don't need more than 3 hours

10-whenever (but has to end by 3) - Ron & Fez. they can go up to a 4 hour+ show. they should do atleast til 2, but can go on longer if they want

3-7 - The Opie show feat Jimmy - a more silly show that does stunts and big bits and overall funniness.


anyone else have any thoughts?

Anthony would need a straight man to make the show go.

all anthony needs is someone who is funny and smart and has an opposing view point they can express at the same level as Anthony. Thats why i think Patrice would be awesome

but also, i think more than 3 hours is too much. I think Hannity, Rush and O'reilly only do 3 hour shows (if im wrong lemme know) but i think an extra hour would be overkill

they still sound passionate about radio to me. maybe fez should try switching something up to get his passion back.

Maybe I stated the need for a "straight man" a little wrong. Anthony would need an "organizer" co-host who can keep the flow of the show going.

Exactly. Like East Side Dave.

oh yeah..well during the segment they talked about splitting the staff (Anthony gets Danny and Derek, Opie gets Sam & Erock) and Anthony said he'd take Stunt Brain. Even though Stunt Brain is kinda faggy, he'd probably be good at saying topics and letting Anthony spout off about it

[K.C.]

Opie gives off the vibe that he's going to leave radio altogether at some point (I think he's said as much in the past).

There's no way Ant ever leaves radio willingly. The guy lives his life on PalTalk when he's not on the radio...he NEEDS to be heard by people.

Seems pretty likely to me that he's positioning himself to go the conservative talk route if/when the O&A show ever ends. He'll be Mancow Part II.

[OGC]

If Patrice is involved, I want no part of it.

[~Katja~]

I would never listen to a political show with Anthony.. can you even begin to imagine this daily for 3h??? Hell no. Opie with Jimmie in the afternoons I would probably listen to... and if Ant would do a show alone with other guest comedians (but not just political) I might tune in too.
And Ron & Fez could go 5 or 6 hours if it was an option

the reason i don't like Anthony politically now is because there is no strong voice of opposition. If it was set up with a strong voice that would disagree with certain points of his that i find ridiculous (that i believe Patrice could fill) it could be a great show! Bill Burr would be great on either the Opie show or the Anthony show...i think that guy is that talented

as for R&F being on for 5 or 6 hours...sure! i wish i could get an earbud that just has Ron commentary on everything i do 24hrs a day, but im a koolaid drinker so what do i know?

well I love Patrice but on his own or with Anthony it just is a never ending story of bickering over races and mostly Black vs. White. Guess what, politics and the current situation in America is not a matter of black and white... as much as these two would like to reduce it to that.

Thats the biggest problem. I think both Anthony and Opie could do separate shows but whoever gets Jimmy is the show Id listen to more often. Jimmy is equally funny when hes being silly as when he is sincerely outraged about something and going off. So its hard to say which show he would be better on.

thats a good point, but i think if they did it day in and day out the show would evolve into something else. and i think it would be an interesting journey

jimmy can do it all. the way i see "the opie show" is a show that has stunts and "shock jockery" and sillyness...but i think enough will go wrong for jimmy to get angry (which i love). on "the anthony show" i think you would get just one side of jimmy (the angry one). but whether or not jimmy goes to "the anthony show" or "the opie show" they need another comic to fill in the role for the show he isn't on

[biozombie]

Opie for R&F EP
(LIberty/Sirius/XM can surely afford it)

i LOVE when Opie is on R&F!

i hope hes the "famous radio personality" that shows up in studio on sunday.

[~Katja~]

thats a good point, but i think if they did it day in and day out the show would evolve into something else. and i think it would be an interesting journey



that may very well be but the attention span and patience of the average O&A listener is far from going on that journey with them.

[GreatAmericanZero]

that may very well be but the attention span and patience of the average O&A listener is far from going on that journey with them.

its hard to say...cuz when they first came back to XM it was a tough time cuz they had to rebuild a radio show. back with the $2 extra bucks for their show, big fans stuck with them and alot of those fans believe that period to be their best period of the show. I know when R&F came back to XM with Harry T., i rarely listened until Eastside Dave came aboard and i became a "Ron & Fez dork". I think if they tried this new angle...of course there will be the messageboard bitchers, but i think the freshness of it all might keep people and new listeners into it

of course its all speculation. back to the "geek/nerd/dork" conversation on R&F this is a total "geek" conversation but its interesting. i think drastically changing everything but keeping the personalities on the channel could be so interesting and exciting


but then again im a geek. and a dork.

[Foster]

can't see a show with Anthony and anyone else but Opie working, he needs someone to run the show; a Jimmy and Opie show might work, but it still won't be as good as it is now,
the three of them work off of each other really well. even though I like the other comedians on the show, I'm disappointed when Jimmy's not on the show and Vos or someone is sitting in.

[Dude!]

as if O could ever pull off a solo show

[~Katja~]

as if O could ever pull off a solo show

I think he could, more than Ant. Opie with Jimmy or any other guests is great. As much as you think Ant could do it, as soon as Opie is not around Ant loses what holds the show together and still makes it special over all terrestrial shows regardless of it's current state

[GreatAmericanZero]

in my opinion, when anthony calls in sick it is a much better show than when opie is absent

during opie's honeymoon...anthony running the show was this disjointed thing of "let me tell u what i just did with my money". and Opie wasn't there during the Omar from "The Wire" interview and it was such a bad interview i felt bad for Omar. He wanted to plug his rap song and they plugged it for an hour saying "we'll play it" and kept putting it off so long that Omar had to say something


If the shows separated, Anthony needs a person to keep the show on track and Opie needs a person to keep the show funny. Both they can fulfill and it would mean more entertaining radio for all of us

[lleeder]

I agree with Gaz to a point. I like Opie better alone than Anthony alone.I would prefer an Opie Patrice show instead of an Anthony Patrice Show. Patrice needs an Opie to keep him in check. If its just Anthony and Patrice in a room together its gonna be alot of yelling over each other and directionless.

[hammersavage]

Anthony alone is a disaster. Opie did radio in the past before Anthony. He makes the show run way more than anyone realizes and could handle being on his own. I'd like to hear test runs of both.

yeah..thats the way it seems on the current O&A Show

i just think that if Anthony & Patrice knew they were doing a real show together they would tune it down and make, what would be, a great and inventive radio show

kinda off topic, but Erock said that "news for NY radio" would hit at 5pm. its past 5, NY and LA time....O&A weren't fired then?

[beachbum]

Do you even listen to Ron and Fez?You know,Sirius/XM radio,noon to three?

[Dirtbag]

I'd rather have Anthony & Jimmy just because when Jim disagrees with Ant he's actually willing to call him on it. I don't know if Opie is tired of the bullshit, or just doesn't feel strongly enough either way, but he's usually content to just let Ant ramble when he goes off on one of his rants. They'd still need someone to keep the show running smoothly though because Ant & Jimmy degrades into silly zone a lot and then they just beat it into the ground. Opie & Dave could do a great show together.

Opie has hinted about his leftist beliefs...but i just think he isn't too caught up in himself to make a thing about it. I think hes more laid back about everything than Ant which is more important for the type of radio he wants to do (funny silly radio). So he sees Ant going on political rants and thinks "ok, this is what Ant wants to do to shine..not too important to me"



but, once again, its me being a geeky O&A listener.

There was an Ant and Jimmy show not too long ago....it was horrible.

Someone said Stunt Brain was "a little faggy", not true. He's the best EP the O&A Show has ever had. If Ant took him, he would definately keep him somewhat on track. Still the thought of an all Ant's rants show, or god forbid Political Talk would be something I would never tune to. Now a new Opie show would def get me to listen. I wouldn't even mind if it was Opie spinning tracks he programmed himself. "Opie's Afternoon Atittude" would vival Kane.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER RON AND FEZ !!

I can't see a Dave and Opie show (Please god I hope that was a sarcastic proposition), I doubt Daves constant "surprise" at mundane points would stick well with Opie. It would end quickly with Daves Tito's fleece being torn apart on air with the ginger screaming in the backround.

[Dave's Cackle]

...only less successful. Ant will have another heart attack before he makes it in political talk radio.

Two things I wonder about....

1. Isn't Gaz so cute with his new post sign off of "but I'm just a geek O/A or R/F fan"? Really? That's so novel a concept and perhaps then nobody will rip me for being EXACTLY what they were talking about on the show. Seriously, I can't even begin to explain how much you annoy me. You're the equivalent of a 8 year old girl and the movie Twilight or High School Musical. The only difference is THEY'RE 8 YEAR OLD GIRLS and actually leave the house and do other things.

2) I can't figure out if Gaz likes xm/Opie/Anthony/Fezzie/Norton/ESD/xm subs/Bill Burr's shit/Patrice's fat blocker pills/Dr. Steve's Rx Pad/Opie's old car/Ant's hair plugs?

Later Fanboy.

Knock it off, spoon. We get it. Enough.

[spoon]

Oh yeah, I couldn't care less which slot they take and which pairings they go with. In fact, no matter which way they go I'd favor it over political talk radio/rock radio currently.

One thing I do know is, I go to Gaz for my XM updates. His the TMZ of XM! :wallbash:

Opie said he'd do a silly show. Yes, Opie and Dave trying to discuss issues seriously would be an epic disaster. Opie and Dave being dopes has a lot of potential.

[Blood Mountain]

Anthony and Bill Burr in the morning would be great. Bill can play the PG with Stunt Brain backing up. Plus Bill and Ant play off each other nicely.

The Opie, Jimmy and Colin Quinn show for the afternoons. Jimmy will have another comedian to make jokes with. Opie would lead. And Colin would bring his own insanity.
