O&A Listening Thread for September 2010

[sailor]

Just woke up to Ron & fez replay at 7 am. Is the iphone feed fucked up or is something nefarious afoot?

(later to become September listening thread)

[sailor]

Ugh, all other channels loading, but 202 is playing the same 2 minutes of r&f talking about pallin, then it refuses to load. Fuck this crap.

[KEITHJAY]

Bustin a gut with the jimmy Big A

The listeners are pretty good at picking Worst Of segments. Who knew?

the parts that ive heard this week have been excellent. do you think they will accept that the listeners know what they want to hear?

I'm just glad there hasn't been the 55 gallon drum or super-ball again. I really wanna hear some Katrina stuff.

[Furtherman]

They're playing O&A's first XM Radio show.


Remember when the show had such a bright future, brimming with possibilities? *sigh*

[CountryBob]

I wasnt on board until 2005 - so I missed the non-XM version and even early XM days...
but XM was more relaxed on what the boys could do....now, I cant believe that Sirus hasnt made them stop cursing.

[Lady Resin]

Haha...from erocks twittter:


erockradio That retard is now ruining 2 shows.

Wow.

Getting ride of the retarded Laverne & Shirley was one of the best things they ever did.

[IamFogHat]

Here's what I found after listening to this week of best ofs; 1) Ant and Jim are right, the callers bring down the show. Ant and Jim would be on incredible runs making hilarious jokes and Opie slams on the brakes by interrupting them to get a caller in who tells either a mediocre line or a bomb. It ruins the flow. But more importantly 2) the main difference between when we all really loved the show and where we are now is a few years ago, even as little as '07 or '08 was that back then they really sounded like they were having fun. The pacing and creativity and laughter they generated is so starkly contrasted with today's shows where no one sounds like they even want to be there. It's sad really.

[spoon]

disagree on that one ^

Ant just goes on stupid rants and jimmy loses focus and puts 50 "get aids" like jokes out there so Opie is a KEY part of keeping the show flowing, on point and from becoming just two guys making each other laugh all day. When Opie isn't in, I like the show much less than when either Norton or Ant are not. They all have they're place though, but I do miss the old days where Opie and Ant were alone most of the time and comedians/guests like Norton made weekly visits at most.

[brettmojo]

Agree.

But the callers are more of a minus than a plus.

Opie said on his twitter last night he didn't really care to do another show for Sirius again at this point. Obviously, the end is nigh. They don't want to be there. They don't have contests anymore, they don't try to do anything that involves the listeners anymore. And there's more to it than just the Sirius lawyers interfering... They've just lost their will to even try. Satellite didn't turn out to be the free flowing medium they believed it was going to be, Sirius taking over squashing any hope of that, and they're just playing out the string. Have been for a few years now.

[Zipgun]

You forgot the part where Opie reads the caller's joke out loud first and then puts the caller on the air leaving them to hang out to dry.

The thing is, in the 'NEW days you couldn't pull away from whatever was going on. It was cringe at it's best. They were always on the verge of getting shitcanned and you just never knew which day was going to be the last. It was all about going against the bosses and the lawyers and pushing the envelope. They were still hungry for their profession and had passion.

Now, and in the past few years, they don't even attempt to be edgy and fear the lawyers because they know Sirius won't care and just flat out fire them. Personally, I think it all started once Eric Logan left. For whatever reason they decided to be the voice of how the media is bullshit, how white people are getting screwed, shit talking anyone else that dares a career in radio, TMZ headlines and boring UFC shit. Outside of that, I don't hear a whole lot else unless a comic is in and then Opie just says things to them like "Mel Gibson.. whattya got on that?".

I guess they realized that terrestrial doesn't want them anymore, at least not for the money they're willing to pay, and if they get canned from the only satellite company, there's nothing left but podcasting and they wouldn't even bother to do it together. Ant wouldn't leave his house and do shows from the Compound until he became the next Tom Metzger. Jimmy would continue to do what he does just fine. And Opie's ego wouldn't allow him to be reduced to a podcast. He'd probably just stay off the air.

Logan leaving and the merger are the two things that screwed them on a creative level. But the lawyers always fuck everything up. Every couple of years there's something that happens that make the laywers clamp down even more.

Wii for a Wii probably replaced Sex for Sam 3 as the "ground zero" of killing radio's creativity, on both satellite and terrestrial.

[strawberrypop]

Op said something about Steve being let go?

Steve C wasn't fired by Sirius. His position was eliminated! That's right folks they eliminated the Producer position of our show! IBTBOTFA

[TimTimSalabim]

Another tweet says their contract with Sirius is up October 1. So I guess this is it? :sad:

[sailor]

I love how that caller mixed up Jimmy and bob Kelly.

[Furtherman]

Are they off all week?

[Lady Resin]

I think so. They advertised today that they're playing AFRO shows on Friday.

[Zorro]

Ugh, all other channels loading, but 202 is playing the same 2 minutes of r&f talking about pallin, then it refuses to load. Fuck this crap.

Been happening on the Android for the last month.

Nice to hear Fez being confident and a true raido co-host for a change.

I think this article from Deadspin kinda summed up how I feel about the whole thing (http://deadspin.com/5636603/lets-talk-about-sex-ines-sainz-and-the-sideline)

[sailor]

Yeah, sexy - not sexing. I stink.

[Gutter]

i think its so incredibly strange that Opie took a dump outside.....TWICE....on his vacation. ON THE BEACH NO LESS!!!!! that entire story is the strangest thing i've ever heard. its funny, but he sounds like a six year old in his thought process......why the fuck would you throw it in the ocean????? its clearly going to wind up back on the beach.....i mean, how far can you fling a turd with cardboard box flaps?

i'm loosing sleep because of the strangeness of this story.

[sailor]

It really makes no sense. He went thru way more effort than just walking 5 minutes (or driving for a minute?)

With his personality it's pretty obvious he thought it was cool, maaaaaan, and wanted some "rebel" story.

Shock and Jock - shock and jock! Even in real life.

Once getting out of the car in a bar parking lot - my stomach rolled and I was shitting (like it or not). I just dropped pants right there and shot hot water out of my ass. Some went on the car beside me - I had to get the chick I was with hand me some napkins from the car and she smelled it and threw up. She wanted to leave now but I insisted that we still go in and have a few drinks - I immediately went to the bathroom and threw my underwear away and cleaned up better. The best or worst part was that I was being filmed on security cameras.

When I was a kid, I put some taco bell sauce packets under someone's tire in a parking lot. When they left, it sprayed onto their car a little bit. It's almost the same thing.

[Zorro]

Just saw the tweeted Chip Chipperson video. Damn that is funny

[brettmojo]

I agree until you try to present yourself as a professional, dressing the way she does, and in a profession that places you alone among large groups of the opposite sex. You might as well be waiving a steak in front of a pack of Hyenas.

A person just walking down the street... No. An attention whore like this chick is, oh well.

I agree. She calls herself "the hottest sportscaster in Mexico". She threw some cool water on the story this morning, saying it wasn't as bad as it was portrayed, and she got the attention she wanted.

You know, if I went somewhere and basically shit myself, I'd just go home.

on vacation, Outer Banks, I believe this story lacked some details, including stumbledy drunkeness.

[Sue_Bender]

Looks like Opie had the studio disinfected overnight because a listener Tweeted him relaying that Fez might have MRSA. :laugh:

[Sue_Bender]

O&A had Fezzie on the phone during their first break this morning, and he killed.

They couldn't shut him up.


He loves performing when the pressure's on...

Wouldn't you be?

[Sue_Bender]

Yes, Opie...kids don't need any structure whatsoever.

How will they know what they like, if they aren't exposed to it?

If left to their own devices, they will OBVIOUSLY grow into creative geniuses.

No distractions will abound for Little da Vinci.

Anyone who has a child knows how much research/studies they do on their own time.

If they have the internet, they have knowledge!


Yuck.

No means no. You don't have to take their shit.

Well, Zeplin...


You can see where this idea germinated for Opie, because he obviously hasn't been in school in a long time. The people that do their kids homework, and are complaining about their kids having homework every night, are his siblings.

I also have to point out the irony that he's bitching that he couldn't start a band in school (although noone I knew had a problem) and follow his dream and yet he works in the music industry now. Obviously something went right for him.

At some point you have to stop bitching about things that happened to you when you were a kid.

Listening to it last night, I didn't believe a word of it. His jaded delivery and constant backtracking and trying to get acceptance just makes me think he was trying to strike up some kind of new conversation.

Their unabashed hatred of women was just disgusting during this conversation. Jim in particular pissed me off.

[Furtherman]

Opie's explaination of why kid's shouldn't have to do homework:

I was always so bogged down with homework I couldn't do other stuff I wanted to do!

Like what?

I don't know.

Like what?

I wanted to surf.

Reading Jimmy and Opie's tweets yesterday made me lose any interest in hearing yesterday's show. We get it, guys. Women are bitches! It's so fucked up that men can't pinch women's asses in the office anymore.

on having a ton of guns,home cameras,alarms hoping to get a burgalar and getting robbed

spynetwork is up

[Warren Peace]

About how Anthony has been talking about how he couldn't wait for someone to try to break into his house and he ended up getting burglarized in an inside job. Also, Bob mocked him for letting the guy get away and not doing anything about it.

[sailor]

It's a friend of Danny. They know where he lives. Seriously, what's the big deal.

[Chigworthy]

Reading Jimmy and Opie's tweets yesterday made me lose any interest in hearing yesterday's show. We get it, guys. Women are bitches! It's so fucked up that men can't pinch women's asses in the office anymore.

A few days ago, they were talking about some woman whose husband had hired a man to kill her with a hammer. At one point, Jim said something like "What must she have done to make her husband want to hire someone to kill her with a hammer?" This is a normal stance for him to take, but if you think about it, it's pretty sick. Knowing nothing more than the barest details of the incident, he tries to view the male as the normal one in that he was provoked into putting out a violent hit by the woman. A person with a normal view of gender would look at those few details and assume that anyone who hires a hammer-hitman is the one at fault, not the victim.

But it's hard to have a normal view of gender when you spend most of your adult life supporting prostitution. He often comes out as supporting prostitution, and railing against illegal prostitution/escort services getting shut down, yet he readily admits that he is a sex addict. Given his supposed background of recovery, you would think he would view prostitution somewhat equivocally with illicit drug sales. I guess you can't really expect logical reasoning from someone who thinks that the earth's spin is what generates its magnetic pull.

this was one of the funniest shows in a while.....i was dying today.

Why is it every time they got a flow going like today for example all the comedians bashing each other and messing around and Opie has to bring a stupid intern to suck the comedy out of the show. :wallbash:

It's a persistent attitude that's really been bugging me lately. I know it's always been there, but I guess I'm just starting to lose my tolerance for it. I don't find it offensive. I just find it embarrassing and juvenile.

His useless feet touching Sterns's bumper in the big elevator, was the best visual the show has ever provided me. :lol:

[Tenbatsuzen]

I have to agree that "Big as your imagination" and "Paralyzed Opie" have been two of the most hysterical bits on O&A in a while.

[VesperEQ]

Thursday was the best show of the year easily.

Blind Steevie makes me think of what a young Fezzy Whatley was like.

No way. Young Fez had talent as big as your imagination.

[Furtherman]

And now Opie has to ruin the magic of yesterday's show by analyzing ONE tweet from someone and over-explaining that he was hoping to get ripped on, which isn't even true.

[Furtherman]

"My picture did very well out there in the twitterverse!"



No it didn't.

[sailor]

Poorer areas with large apartment buildings pay way more total to con-ed than rich areas with dispersed houses.

[Furtherman]

"My picture did very well out there in the twitterverse!"



No it didn't.

...and then he goes and admits he wasn't the main guy sending it around.

Clueless.

I don't think an intern has gone this batshit this soon.

I've been meaning to post this. O&A still have listeners? And don't tell to me go to WB. I was a mod there when the original O&A board called WB Candyland. :bye:

what was the guy's point? he liked a musician ant didn't then called him a guinea?

[IamFogHat]

No no no, I was talking about how Ant railed against him being a Rican with the manual labor route, then forgot he was a construction worker, then the point came up about making a life for yourself, and also that Ant struck the lottery by meeting Op, and Ant somehow thought that by getting super lucky means he paid his dues but more importantly worked hard to get where he is.

[sailor]

Ah, that part I can see a bit. Personally, I didn't think of that as anything other than silly name calling on both parts.

Whatever your opinion of Anthony you can't deny that he worked hard. There are a million guys with talent that never make it. Anthony is unique and it wasn't some lottery that had him meeting Opie it was putting himself in a position to not only meet a radio guy, but to use that meeting to build a career.

I understand being jealous of Anthony is all the rage, but don't take away the guys struggle from tin knocker to well paid radio host.

[Space Edge]

Ah, that part I can see a bit. Personally, I didn't think of that as anything other than silly name calling on both parts.

That's what I got out of it also and the caller started with Anthony. I'm not a fan of his rants or anything but I did chuckle during that one today.

I also throughly enjoyed Kevin Smith the other day on the show, I've been checking out his Jay and Silent Bob get old podcast and it's pretty interesting. It's worth checking out they are only 5 episodes in.

[Zipgun]

Anthony is unique and it wasn't some lottery that had him meeting Opie it was putting himself in a position to not only meet a radio guy, but to use that meeting to build a career.

Actually, from what he's told on air it was his brother that pushed and pushed their parody songs to Opie's show and did the leg work. And since Joe was the musical one and Anthony could do impressions because he just sat around getting high and watching tv when he wasn't slacking off at his HVAC gig, you figure out which was the better choice of who could do shock jock radio.

[Warren Peace]

Opie, why embarass yourself by getting into a music discussion?

[sailor]

I've seen lots of bands open for bands they didn't match up with. Also, why would you assume it was another big name act?

Seen pavement live. They suck so bad. Means all the hipsters on here must just love them.

[Warren Peace]

Love when Burr & Derosa are on....they don't pull any punches with O&A.

[Warren Peace]

So far they've gone to the well with:

1) Ken Stevens WNEW call about XM
2) Edmunds Fitzgerald song discussion
3) Warrant and the drummer throwing the sticks into the crowd and they hit the floor

Nothing convinces a company to renew your contract with raises like taking a day off for no reason. Assholes.

ahhh cause their contract expired?

FogHat.....why are they assholes? wouldn't you be pissed if you were one of the top five shows on an entire satellite radio service and didn't even get the time of day from your employers leading up to the expiration of your contract?

they might be in meetings all day working out their new deal......oh but thats impossible....lets just assume that they're doing it for no reason and are therefore assholes. makes sense.

I think you should really take what they say about their relationship with the company with a grain of salt.

i didn't think they would do a fake bit that went nowhere about their contract expiring. i don't put too much stock in what they say about management, but i did believe them when they talked about their contract expiring.

I'm just saying everything they do is chosen to go out on the air with a desired result, in that respect nothing is 100% genuine. Bitching about their bosses, being treated unfairly, that has always been a huge part of their personalities, it rallies the fans. They have done bits that go absolutely nowhere, and they have bullshitted about their contract expiring before. It's not out of the realm of what they do.

Are you using the official sirius/XM app? Don't use that it sucks try a free app called musicdock it does Sirius/XM or you can pay for ooTunes, PocketTunes or WunderRadio.

I use the official app. Now that I have access to that I think it's much better than the pockettunes. Actually, XM changed my account info and I can't find a way to change that in pockettunes, so it keeps trying to connect with out-of-date info.

Being able to record is the only thing I miss from pockettunes.

Wrong thread on purpose, can't wait for the vitriol to be hurled at Ron & Fez for being best of today.

No problem I found out about musicdock via a add in PocketTunes. I wonder if PT knows they are advertising for a free app.

just called sirius....they're having technical issues with the media player.....should be worked out by noon they said.....kinda bummed i didn't get to scream at anyone. Hell of a day to miss the show though considering Giraldo passed yesterday. i'm sure the bbbbboys have plenty to say about it.

Jim apparantly talked about Giraldo right at the top of the show, and they were going to play Giraldo bits throughout the show, I heard one this morning but havent really listened to the show between 730 and 10.

Doesn't feel like a last show.

I have to say Ellis attacking Rawdog's face with a strap on while Rawdog sang "Like a Prayer" was really really funny. It's a shame they couldn't do it again.

[JPMNICK]

lets see if they have the balls to do what they always talk about, which is go all out saying everything they wanted to. i doubt it because they think they might resign, but i hope they do.
