O&A Listening Thread for November 2010

[sailor]

I don't know why they shit on the star wars guy. It's not really that different from the silence of the lambs musical or Ant/Danny spending the random half-hour discussing back to the future.

[Chigworthy]

Box of Cocks replay? I haven't heard this in at least a month.

[disneyspy]

is this whole show going to be a unannounced replay?

speculate

[Chigworthy]

is this whole show going to be a unannounced replay?

speculate

It must have been an emergency, because if it was a planned day off, they would have assembled a new replay of stuff that hasn't been heard in a while, instead of using the best of satellite years show that they just played about 100 hundred times a month ago.

[disneyspy]

i bet a drunk ant got in trouble when he thought he heard a young girl yell "DICK OR TREAT" last night

I love how much of a kick they got out of hanging up on him.

[IamFogHat]

Oh good, Jeff Dunham.

[realmenhatelife]

Why do they play fake clips and then comment on them as if they're real? Like Divorce Court? They sound like a bunch of old ladies.

[Gutter]

This is one of the best jim breuer stories.

so tonight i'm watching the show Terriers on FX....its about a disgraced ex cop and his former CI (confidential informant) who have teamed up to become un-official private investigators. anyway, tonight's episode, one of the two main characters takes on the case of a tranny looking for her friends killer who was murdered.....in the episode she refers to herself as a "tranny" and a "chick with a dick"......i guess FX has to apologize to GLAD now too.

the point is, as annoying as these special interest groups are, with all their whining and bitching, and nit picking over the simplest of shit.....nothing changes....none of their petty bullshit makes us act any differently. There are still plenty of examples of shit on TV that you never thought they would be able to get away with. Stuff on South Park, Adult Swim, HBO, Showtime, Comedy Central in general.....for every whiny mincy little twit out there bitching about what ppl should and shouldn't say there are a million examples of how we still don't pander to those groups. i just hope i can remember that the next time i'm listening to the show and i start to get as annoyed as they are over the useless thought and speech policing that goes on, because its really just a bunch of dribble.

As Ron and many others have said many other times, the concept of banning words or applying special conditions to their usage only empowers them. For example, a non-black person saying "nigger" carries a tremendous amount of power compared to when a black person uses it. The acceptability of the word's usage is based on the user's race. The biggest determining factor in whether language is hatespeech is the race/sex/preference of the person using that language, making someone who would participate in labeling it hatespeech a bigot.

[sailor]

This Clinton thing is obviously real. He's talking about a rapper getting out of jail. Duh.

Also, it would have been way more wacky.

What bugs me the most about this subject, which is favorite on both shows, is the anger is usually directed at the special interest group, which is totally misplaced. People have the right to be offended, and they have the right to get together and voice their disapproval and even to misrepresent themselves as a larger portion of the population. Denying a person the right to be offended is legitimately oppressive. There is no law against saying gay, or tranny, or using any slur- this is all private sector pressure and you should be mad at the network that gives in or the person that apologizes. It isn't censorship because a group of people decide they want to pressure someone else into editing their content. The special interest group never takes possession of the offensive content and then distributes an altered version of it.

You should be mad at the media who makes a big deal of it, because they like sensationalist stories. You should be mad at the audience that pays attention, that doesn't realize that GLAAD goes after Jersey Shore because Jersey Shore is really popular and visible. If you're going to be mad at the offended people be mad at them because they dont realize how insincere GLAAD is actually being by ignoring low profile offenses in favor of a bunch of drunk morons.

You also have to consider that words that are every day words, perfectly acceptable words, which are no somehow moving into unacceptable territory, is not new at all. People honestly probably had the same exact conversations about the N word that we are having about the word "gay." Well gay doesnt mean gay, it isn't offensive when I use it. Do you think everyone called N-Jim that (and normally I would type the character name, because its a character name, but I'm at work) in Huck Fin because they didn't like him? No, they thought "Well why wouldn't I call him that, he's an N, it isn't offensive." Things will shake out, but at the end of it we may not be using or thinking about words the same way as when we were kids. It's not a new concept at all.

Everything should be judged on its merit, and intent. No word is categorically offensive. Those are the rules I want to play by, but those are rules that allow people to be offended and to take action if they want.

[Gutter]

thanx for the response guys.......all great points. i really find this a strange topic, as i think the emotion of being "offended" is mostly a created, self serving reaction. certainly the media plays a large role....people are offended and screaming from the rooftops everyday, but it doesn't become a real issue until some douche with a suit sticks a microphone in your face. anyway, i'm just glad i've got a place to rant......i'm offended by the fact that people get offended.

I agree with you about corporate caving to special interest groups for the high profile cases, which is the largest aspect of the new crusade against free expression. But I also take issue with the individuals and groups that are or claim to be offended by words. I guess you could say that I'm offended by their taking offense to words, and I have a right to my taking offense. And there are legal ramifications to using a slur, as illustrated by hate crime enhancements on criminal charges.

And it's an interesting point about the timeline of a word becoming unacceptable. I hadn't really thought about it, but it does seem that "nigger" probably went through a similar process that "faggot" is going through now. "Nigger" was likely the furthest thing from offensive when black people were considered lesser than white people, and as our views shifted to a semblance of equality, that term became offensive (at least for non-blacks to use). Hearing those old clips of Eddie Murphy using "faggot" on stage was interesting. He wasn't using it in the schoolyard sense of calling your buddy a "faggot" if he was being wimpy; he was using it to refer to homosexuals. Those Eddie Murphy routines were HUGE when they came out. I remember seeing Delirious all over HBO and Showtime, and Raw was gigantic in the theaters. That word was obviously a lot more acceptable a mere 25 years ago; now I'm sure Murphy wishes he never did those routines. It actually bothered me somewhat listening to that, and I had to think about why. All I can come up with is that idealistically, I believe that no word should be off limits. But I also realize that words are offensive to some people when used certain ways, and I'm not comfortable with people being offended. I would be very uncomfortable hearing someone make rape jokes in front of someone who was a victim of it. But back to my idealism, I guess I just wish that in a culture that championed freedom of expression at one time, we were a little thicker-skinned about mere words.

[Gutter]

fuckin sweet.......ted talking about ghhhhhhoooooooossssssttttssssssssssiiiiissssss.... .love it.

[realmenhatelife]

No word is off limits, there isn't a word you can say that will get you arrested. They want to say anything with no consequence, which is something else entirely. People in their business are trying to be provocative, you cant cry foul because you dont like the reaction you're getting.

Opie: Yeah Brian, I clean the diapers, I'm one of those guys.

They're on par with strippers in the studio.

[realmenhatelife]

Here's what I dont get. This fake missle thing just happened, and Alex Jones already has a conspiracy theory about it. Isn't anything ever just nothing?


And, still dont really get the difference between Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura, aside from the fact that Jimmy needs to pick fights with muscular people.

Jones is also a Right-wing nutjob. They never use both barrels unless they're talking about a pinko commie Lefty that's ruining the country.

I realize the need to label everything you don't like Right Wing, but Jones is just a nut no matter where he stands or he stands with

[sailor]

To be fair, wasn't Jesse on the show a few times before it got personal and he decided to not come back?

[WhatsInTheBoxx]

UFC Talk is as boring as Football talk. Whether its OnA or Ron and Fez - its a boring topic.

Plus, with this Fantasy Football stuff it just means there's even more time spent. Oh well - it'll be over relatively soon! hehe :annoyed:

[Son of Muta]

I realize the need to label everything you don't like Right Wing, but Jones is just a nut no matter where he stands or he stands with

You're right, Jones is a nut who happens to be right leaning. Just like there are nuts who are left leaning, douchebag.

UFC talk is boring, to the point I have to fastforward the Joe Rogan Experience when it comes up.

"to you"

On another note, I'm shocked Neil young isn't 75.

Just like there are nuts who are left leaning, douchebag.

Enough with the right-wing propaganda, you racist.

I don't like that Broadway star Colin Quinn is in the same room with that creep.

seeing that on the ispy has made me turned on the show.. quick background?

[Gutter]

seeing that on the ispy has made me turned on the show.. quick background?

bobo came in and they're talking about this "girl" who is following bobo on twitter with the name "ilovebobo"......so he's in love with this possible chick he's never met, the boys think its a dude, colin and patrice are in studio.......suddenly :ohmy: the girl allie, claiming to be "ilovebobo" on twitter calls and shes shes outside the building!!!! what fun. so they invite this chick up and shes in studio annnnnnddddd i'm waiting for her to tell bobo she's a post op tranny or something.

[Gutter]

I don't like that Broadway star Colin Quinn is in the same room with that creep.

Broadway Colin can handle himself.

[Misteriosa]

and this girl has seen bobo but is still interested in him?

:surrender: yeah.. post op tranny...

[Gutter]

and this girl has seen bobo but is still interested in him?

:surrender: yeah.. post op tranny...

it would appear as such.

[Misteriosa]

knock it off, spade!!!

lmao!! :lol:

[Gutter]

knock it off, spade!!!

lmao!! :lol:

hahahahaha this is friggin hilarious!!! hahahahaha. i thought he was calling Colin "david spade".....but then i realized he was being racist and it was funny twice. hahahaha

[Gutter]

Ant: What are you gonna get her for her birthday?

Patrice: Somethin with cum and slobber all over it.....somethin she can hold with only two fingers

[realmenhatelife]

I just hopped on after 10, I'm pissed when I miss any drop of Colin and Bobo.

[Gutter]

oh the hammer is about to drop.

[LeedsJr]

This ranks right up there with the time they ripped the wig of Patti's head.:glurps:

[disneyspy]

just tuning in,what they'd do to bobo?

edit read gutters post,thanks

[realmenhatelife]

just tuning in,what they'd do to bobo?

Had him fall in love with a chick.

[Furtherman]

oh the hammer is about to drop.

So what happened? Anything?

[Gutter]

So what happened? Anything?

It was kind of anti-climatic to be honest......i thought they were going to say that she was a tranny, or his cousin, or something........it seemed like there was something that they still didn't tell the listeners, but it just ended with her leaving and having bobo think she was mad at him and deleted her twitter.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Jones is also a Right-wing nutjob. They never use both barrels unless they're talking about a pinko commie Lefty that's ruining the country.

You're a fucking idiot if you didn't catch them mocking him the whole time. Then again you're just a fucking idiot in general.

[Chigworthy]

That bobo broad sounded like the one that tricked Big A years ago.

[IamFogHat]

Anyone else's XMOL sound like robots are talking?

[sailor]

This anti-social network sounds like a great line-up.

Jimmy: I wanna die old.....I wanna be a burden to EVERYONE

awesome line. i wish i still had a yearbook photo session coming up....damnit.

Is this an O&A rerun?..just tuned in and it seems like an older show...

Is this an O&A rerun?..just tuned in and it seems like an older show...

I'd love to tell you, but XMRO seems to be down for the millionth time.

[OGC]

I'm just listening to yesterday's show.

ENOUGH ABOUT FUCKING ROLAND GETTING A PICTURE WITH SPRINGSTEEN.

In fact enough about Roland period. The guy has been back working for them about a month and I'm already tired of hearing about him.

[Dell]

I'd love to tell you, but XMRO seems to be down for the millionth time.

I have to restart it a million times, but it is usually good for 30 minutes or so each time...

I'm going to stop paying for xmro given a pretty sweet alternative I found for streaming 202...

In fact enough about Roland period. The guy has been back working for them about a month and I'm already tired of hearing about him.

This was getting on my nerves because seriously, you dont understand why they wouldn't let Roland in with a bunch of contest winners? How that might look bad to the contest winners, and Springsteens people, and everyone in the office?

[OGC]

:blink: yeah, but it's only a one time exception for one of their friends. and roland is the biggest fan in the world.

[Edwin]

I'm going to stop paying for xmro given a pretty sweet alternative I found for streaming 202...

I am quite intrigued by this alternative. Especially since my XM bill is now like $40 a month.

[realmenhatelife]

:blink: yeah, but it's only a one time exception for one of their friends. and roland is the biggest fan in the world.

And thats a conversation I'd love to hear. A boss quantifying to an employee why Roland is a big enough Bruce Springsteen fan to attend, but the other employees that want to go aren't big enough fans. "I'm sorry Johnson, I've heard you say around the office you're tired of the song 'Born in the USA' and we cant in good conscience let you into that interview, you just dont have what it takes. My hands are tied."

[JPMNICK]

i dont know if this is newer, or they did this at WNEW and i never noticed, but i get really uncomfortable with their celeb interviews.

it starts with them making the celeb wait, then they will take a break to make them wait longer. You can feel little Jimmy being uncomfortable and Opie being passive agressive.

then they bring the person in, the rarely know anything about the person, and have made no effort the night or week before to learn anything.

they will then try to bring the celeb into the mix, explaining a bad Steve joke, or Bobo or whatever charectorer this celeb does not give a fuck about.

so now 10 mins in, the person has not talked about their project, and try to shoehorn in a plug. Or little Jimmy feels like Opie is doing a shitty job of mentioning the project and throws a plug in there.

I think it has come out more recently with Roland back and more celebs on the show. And by celebs i mean low B level guests.

[Gutter]

thats funny, cause usually i hear them say, "oh, _____ is here? send him in" and then they come in and talk. jimmy's a pretty good interviewer as is ant and they mention the plug pretty frequently....basically before and after every break and a number of times before the end of the interview. Opie usually doesn't say too much during the interview because Ant and Jimmy are better at the interview...not that big of a deal. (oh theres a plug for Adam's show as we speak, as well as for Eddie and Lewis....go figure). i think you're way off base with this one....sounds like you're talking more about Stern than O & A....but i get it.....everyone here hates opie and anthony and jimmy cause this is ronfez.net and O&A suck and they're terrible people and Ron and Fez are infallible and he's the best interviewer ever and we shouldn't mention how Fez clams up during the interviews or how Ron gets peoples names wrong all the time himself, or that sometimes, he's also unprepared for an interview as well......i get it....i'll never understand it since the shows are so closely related, but i get it.
:wallbash:

i actually love O&A and have never really listened to stern, and not at all since he has been on Sirius.

maybe it has more to do with comedian friends too then actual booked guests, but i remember it happening a few times bookings.

[Chigworthy]

I'm just listening to yesterday's show.

ENOUGH ABOUT FUCKING ROLAND GETTING A PICTURE WITH SPRINGSTEEN.

In fact enough about Roland period. The guy has been back working for them about a month and I'm already tired of hearing about him.

Yet another way to alienate the listeners with douchey entitlement.

[Chigworthy]

Is it a workhorse day?

I love Jimmy's sheer joy at Ant's "Shamu-only-smaller" fuckup.

Chuck is a big show, not much of a favor.

There's two rumors going around, and I don't think either of them are legitimate.

[realmenhatelife]

There's two rumors going around, and I don't think either of them are legitimate.

What are the two rumors? I was assume it was a Dr appt on Wednesday, the wife or the baby is sick, Op stays home to help out.

Any idea how little you said there?

[Freitag]

What are the two rumors? I was assume it was a Dr appt on Wednesday, the wife or the baby is sick, Op stays home to help out.

The first rumor was that Opie is fired/suspended for making a comment on-air.

Second rumor was something was seriously wrong with the baby. I highly doubt it's the second one.

The guy who plays Chuck was in studio.....Zack somethin or other. His publicist tapped Jimmy on the shoulder and held up a sign to plug something of Zacks while Jimmy was trying to record a spot.....apparently she had an overall shitty attitude about not being allowed in the actual studio (publicists aren't allowed in the studio anywhere).

actually, its pretty fucked up.....you're trying to record a spot and some idiot who shouldn't be in the studio comes in and interrupts you? i'd be pissed too.

Yeah, sounds like she was out of line.

no no....they really liked Chuck....i came in at the end of the interview, but he apparently was funny and they enjoyed having him. they just hated his publicist who had a bad attitude about not being allowed in the studio, had a shitty look on her face, interrupted jimmy, and then threatened him after he got angry with her by saying, "you know, it doesn't do YOU any good to make enemies with ME".

[Gutter]

she said something shitty to Jimmy after he got mad at her for interrupting him. read my reply to Furtherman.

Did this go down on air?

[Gutter]

unfortunately not. Jimmy held his tongue mostly out of respect for Sirius. he said, "I really wanted to tear her apart on air, but i would've said something barbaric"

Any idea who this passionless fuck is that Kevin smith is talking about? I would have guessed Ben affleck, but apparently not.

If it was Affleck why would he have worked with him multiple times? Why do people hate Ben Affleck?

[sailor]

of course that is logical, i got that almost as soon as i thought it originally. i don't hate affleck, but i can easily believe him being passionless and dissociated from what a director wants him to do.

tracy morgan's another option. based on the tracy jordan character, who people have said is just like his real self, he could be a director's worst nightmare.

[realmenhatelife]

My brother listens to all of the smodcasts and tells me that on them he says this person was on Cop Out. So you have to assume it's Willis, Morgan, or Sean William Scott.


My guess would be Willis. He'll do any movie and you never hear Smith tell good stories about working with him, and a total fanboy like Kevin Smith was probably super excited to work with Bruce Willis.

[sailor]

I don't know, he worked with Willis on that die hard flick. Even though he only had a cameo, he would have seen how Willis was on set. If you picture tracy on 30 rock shooting that psa a few weeks back, it's almost exactly what Kevin was describing. No way do I think it's Scott, he seems way too in love wiith acting to be a dick like that.

Good point. I agree, Scott always struck me as one of the people that felt really fortunate about lucking out.

I was going to guess he changed the person's gender, because I heard that Linda Fiorentino was an absolute DISASTER filming Dogma.

It's not Affleck because Smith always speaks highly of him and Damon.

Another person who I thought could be possible was Alan Rickman.

(But was this recently? I didn't hear the whole story).

It's NOT Willis - Willis is apparently one of the most drama and trouble-free actors in Hollywood.

he was talking about it on O&A yesterday. it's like #3 in the weekly wrap-up. i don't think he switched the sex, because it was a direct question if it was a guy or girl, given he couldn't outright name them. he was saying things like they'd set up a mark for the actor to hit and he'd end up 20 feet to either side or just wander off to the craft services table when kevin said "action." eventually he just told everyone that this guy set his own mark and they'd scramble to wherever he decided to start acting.

rickman seems too professional for that, even if he were to be a dick (which i don't know of). btw, he once was staying at a hotel i was working at, and walking by the desk he told me he had a package arriving and to just send it to his room, assuming everyone knew who he was. when i asked "and you are?" he became visibly deflated.

[Rawkus]

If you saw kevin's special too fat for 40 i think it's called, (was on epix couple weeks ago, you can find it online), he tells a story about trying to direct willis. Kevin said he would tell him to do a take differently and bruce would just blow him off, rip pages out of the script and just did whatever he wanted during the shooting of cop out.

When i heard the story it sounded a lot like the story in the special.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I know the big joke is that I'm Matty TMZ, but I've never read about Bruce being difficult, so this is kinda surprising to me. Hell, I've MET Willis and he never came off as anything but a good guy.

[El Mudo]

I'm pretty sure it's Willis. He's talked more than a few times on his podcasts negatively about him, and it was pretty telling that he said that he used to be a big Die Hard fan, but not any more.

Just seems odd he wouldn't be open about it if he attacked him openly by name before.
