Oh.

[sailor]

I love this Patrice gaga shit. One of my favorites of his.

[Zorro]

Shouldn't it be "broadcast to" instead of "broadcasted to"?

[Sue_Bender]

Shouldn't it be "broadcast to" instead of "broadcasted to"?

Yes.

It infuriates me EVERY TIME I hear it.

[sailor]

Who goes to a gas station because of press? Especially press due to having high prices?

[Chigworthy]

That caller was a bit of a dope.

I think she was talking about Molecular Gastronomy when she said "Gastronomic Cooking". And describing sous vide as "putting food in some kind of bag and sucking the air out" gave me a giggle.

She's essentially correct, tho.

[Chigworthy]

Parade of dumb callers:

On MDMA:

"It's essentially Ecstasy and coke."

[Chimee]

Listening to them talk about their uncomfortable interviews really shows just how much Opie brings to the show, especially the interviews that end with someone leaving angrily/crying.

[sailor]

They're doing this contest so wrong. All they're doing is rewarding loud noises, not any form of creativity.

I enjoyed the one where the signal was cutting out because it's an annoyance that I can relate to with no repetitive noise.

[Zorro]

Love Bill Burr, but listening to his conspiracy theories makes me cringe. Just because you didn't see something doesn't mean the government/Big Corporations hid it from you.

AirFone commenced its service in the early 1980s starting with first-class under experimental licenses; the FCC's formal allocation was in 1990. AirFone handsets were gradually extended to include one unit in each row of seats in economy. The service was always priced extremely high--$3.99 per call and $4.99 per minute in 2006--and has seen less and less use as the ready availability of cellular telephones has increased. In an FCC filing in 2005, the agency noted that 4,500 aircraft have AirFone service, and quoted Verizon AirFone's president stating in a New York Times article that only two to three people per flight make a call.

what was he saying?

[IamFogHat]

Opie on Bill, Bobby, and Joe's short film: Who's going to go to a movie theater to see a 15 minute movie?

Is he legally retarded?

[disneyspy]

ant is a true professional

Jim Norton attempting to hone his interviewer skills on O & A is about as entertaining as Jay Mohr's "Hey, look at me! I'm funny damnit!" bit calls. Jim, just continue your comedic free association, pause, then shut your mouth and let someone else talk. :smile:

[realmenhatelife]

Jimmy is trying to interject it a little bit but the Roger McDowell thing isn't the same thing sports are now sanitized. Coaches never went back at the fans, and consider that earlier this year a Giants fan was nearly beaten to death at a Dodgers game it is probably a sensative issue to say you're going to bust someone's teeth out with a bat.

I dont agree with the offended party trying to set the terms of discipline.

pretty sure everyone agrees Jay Mohr is hilarious on the phone and in studio.

[KC2OSO]

The Bree Olsen interview was riveting.

[CountryBob]

Missed it - but heard Sam say that Norton and Olson have fucked before?

[disneyspy]

Missed it - but heard Sam say that Norton and Olson have fucked before?

ya jimmy moved up to the top of my list of way to go man

[sailor]

Missed it - but heard Sam say that Norton and Olson have fucked before?

Yep, they were both saying it.

[KC2OSO]

Yep, they were both saying it.
How the hell did this unlikely event ever come to pass?

[disneyspy]

How the hell did this unlikely event ever come to pass?

she said she had a crush on jimmy and he went for it

[KC2OSO]

she said she had a crush on jimmy and he went for it
missed that. she's cute and obviously likes fucked up guys. good for him.

[Gutter]

she said she had a crush on jimmy and he went for it

and got it too. and i'm pretty sure he broke things off the first time. He didn't want to interfere with her career because he had insecurities about what she does for a living.

They're still into each other but he has a GF everytime she comes around.

[Furtherman]

I'm shocked these guys don't know Buddy Guy. Jimmy, OK, he knows Sabbath and that's about it. Anthony was a musician and hates the blues... fine... Opie was a .... wait a sec.. never mind. I'm not shocked.

[Gutter]

yea, we've been over this.

[Zorro]

Does this Bree Olson have enough money from porn that she'll never have to work again?

[sailor]

Who?

[Chigworthy]

Who?

He's Dickie that highen Guy's brother.

[Chimee]

I used to enjoy listening to the 10 o'clock hour, but now it's not worth sitting through Sam's stupid voice in the hope of hearing an actual worst-of segment.

Last year i was in chicago at his club. Light crowd, nothing nuts. This old ass man walks onto the stage, i was assuming to sweep before the next act. picks up a guitar and RIPS it. Obviously it was him, ,and he put on a great performance.

[realmenhatelife]

I like it but I've always liked Sam. They should actually drop the farce of playing worst of stuff because most of the time they cut the bits off and just commit to an actual wrap up show.

[sailor]

Why do they even have premium channels? It's the same fucking company. Move everything to 202. Sirius is such crap.

[Gutter]

Kevin Pollack is fucking killing in studio right now. I'm slightly surprised....I thought this could go south for a min.

[Chigworthy]

I think his role in The Whole Nine Yards is an underrated comic performance.

[realmenhatelife]

That Alan Arkin was insane.

[Gutter]

I think his role in The Whole Nine Yards is an underrated comic performance.

he was awesome in grumpy and grumpier old men as well.

[Furtherman]

yea, we've been over this.

You've been over this!

Yea, very underrated... he usually shows up as a secondary character in movies and is usually funnier than anyone else around him.

[Gutter]

you're a secondary character.

[Furtherman]

you're a secondary character.

:laugh:


You win this time Gutter!!!

[Gutter]

:laugh:


You win this time Gutter!!!

[Furtherman]

drinkin tonight?

Is it Friday?

[Gutter]

Is it Friday?

I figured as much. usual spot or do you have some never heard of before but insanely popular rock band to see in the city tonight?

[Furtherman]

Usual spot - but later, as I do have plans after work. No insanely popular rock band involved. YET.

I'm not disagreeing with his hilarity. His always brings the funny. That was never in question. However, I may be in the minority in that I find his calls and in show appearances to come off sounding like some sort of undercover Sirius job audition/interview. Possibly looking to succeed Yimmy whenever he leaves O&A, perhaps? Who knows. Now I'm not one to knock anyone for their hustle in an industry they want to succeed in, but when you're constantly shooting yourself in the foot in an attempt to further your career with a particular company you'd potentially like to work for, perhaps he needs to re-evaluate some things. For example, the week Ant was on his cruise, there were 2 situations i found scratching my head: 1) his blatant disrespect for Paul Reiser, and 2) calling into O&A to bitch about he felt 2 feet tall after the Gervais et al. interview and throwing people under the bus to boot. It seems to me that his professionalism is a bit "off" for there to be any benefit, let's say with O&A, where potentially burning bridges might inhibit guests from returning. Louis CK hit the nail on the head referring this phenomenon I'm describing as "you're like a dog who only lives in the moment".
