I think the lawyers stop these bits because they're fucking HORRIBLE.

The whole year? Jan. is saved!


The gay contest, if anything they are pro gay

[realmenhatelife]

Who ever thought Jimmy would be a good advice show host? I got arrested with a hooker, should I tell my wife? Nope.

My wife is uninterested in sex because of her history of abuse. She kindof sounds like a bitch.

I've been with the same woman for 27 years, we have 5 kids together, we're just bored of eachother sexually. Maybe it's time to leave her.

sick advice for sick people...a market for everything

All his life experience in the areas of marriage and healthy sexual relationships is really paying off for these callers.

Hearing Sam talk about yesterdays show make's me glad I missed it.

Sam's descriptions and recaps just sound dull...it was close to old school O&A (more entertaining than he made it sound)

[Dell]

is this a planned "worst of"...what's the haps?

[LeedsJr]

The boys need to learn the difference between the words "itch" and "scratch". :happy:

It sounds really dumb but a lot of people use itch to mean scratch. And apparently it's a correct usage. Still sounds stupid.

Yet another insightful advice show.

If anyone does anything, it's an addiction, apparently. Jimmy is addicted to being addicted to things.

I was surprised at how much of a woman Bailey Jay sounded like, though.

I was watching Peepshow last night and one of the main characters gets therapy for the first time, and immediately afterwards he's walking around saying "Oh my god, Therapy is brilliant. I want to do more therapy. YOU should do therapy. HE should do therapy. Everyone should do therapy. Maybe I'll be a therapist." That really reminded me of Jimmy.

Someone tweeted at Opie about why they aren't live today, and Opie responded "Wow you haven't heard?" Not sure if Opie was trolling or something legit was going on.

Didn't feel like today would be a day they'd take off, since there's a lot of Super Bowl discussion to be had, but then again Jim Norton discussing sports could be the worst thing ever.

Doesn't seem like it'd be a Chris Kyle thing. I'd believe they did superbowl stuff last night and decided to take off for sleep/hangovers today, and maybe like some kind of screw the company because we didn't go to the superbowl thing. I think the best-of was structured too well to be unexpected.

I bet they never want to go cover the Superbowl and just twist it around.

When Ron was on, opie acted like it wasn't a big deal and they didn't want to do radio row anyways.

[Freitag]

I think they want to go to New Orleans just because - hey, free trip to New Orleans - but opie is right in that radio row produces some of the worst radio around.

I'm not even sure Kyle's murder would be an excuse for sitting out. Kyle was a great interview and a "friend of the show", but let's not act like he was a Patrice-level familiarity with the show and staff.

[realmenhatelife]

I keep popping in because bobo is on hold and if they pick him up I want to hear it. Anyway, I've heard a million live reads, is "funtasy" part of the live read copy and they're joking about it or did they just decide to start saying it to be annoying? Because that's been a running joke on The Best Show for years.

I don't know which is more painful these days - Anthony thinking that he is edumicating the listeners by dropping science on the "logic" of why whites are superior to other groups or Fez being in full crash mode. I think Anthony's smugness wins(?) the prize.

Jimmy is demonstrating a first rate mind however.

They are making fun of people describing conditions of having no power, no plumbing, and limited access to food for days.

I don't think Jimmy would hesitate to bust his balls, I just think that without Opie these two are without true direction. It's not impossible that Opie will come back tomorrow and bring it up. That being said, I didn't see it, but everything I've read about it said he did the best he could trying to save the episode from bad writing, and mediocre skits.

Absolutely. Patrice would have destroyed him.

[Chigworthy]

That commercial for sports pap angers me. Ooooooh, the unathletic pudgy host is saying a team is failing because Dwight Howard is a knucklehead. They even threw some delay on the knucklehead, as though that very word is so powerful, that just the mere mention of it causes the very earth to shudder.

[underdog]

I think I like the show better with Opie not on it. It was fun to listen to yesterday, and within seconds of me turning it on today, I hear Opie fake laughing with a guest. And then forcing everyone out right at 10a.

[Chigworthy]

Facepalm of the day:

Jimmy: "I didn't know Steve Earle was a singer."

[newport king]

I never watch SNL so im not too familiar with Darrell Hammond...What is with these adult man-babies incessantly whining about life? He sounds like a thin Louie Anderson.

Yeah I've been to both places, Morimoto is smaller and much more popular, they also dont turn tables really quickly, you're there for awhile. I cant imagine how quick you're getting out with 6 people. It's also not a place you can 'make room,' the majority of the seats are nailed to the floor, they dont have tables for more than 2 people, it's all booths and I think there are only 20 or less.

Can you imagine if Opie rolled up to a place with his reservation for 6 and they told him "sorry sir, we gave a walk in your table but they promised they just wanted a quick bite with the philly crew."

Buddakan is good too, Morimoto is just on another level. The irony? They're both Stephen Starr restaurants, so ultimately he put money in the same guys pocket.

It's such a weird room, there's no indication thats what it looks like from the outside. And it has a sushi bar but its not a sushi restaurant, they have a full regular menu. If you want a special occasion dinner it's fun.

Context: FDNY Lt. is in trouble for tweeting hateful things. BTW, his twitter avatar is Hitler with a WOW logo.

So a pest gets in danger of being fired for, well, being a pest, and Jimmy is like "well he's telling dirty jokes, he's protected by the first amendment!"

While I agree with Ant that Gawker is just a bunch of liberal douches who are trying to stir stuff up, if you post racist, hateful stuff with your real name attached to it while you tweet, you ABSOLUTELY reap what you sow.

If you are a public servant, which you are if you're a fire fighter, you are held to a higher standard.

They have such a complete misunderstanding of freedom of speech. I have all the freedom in the world to walk up to my boss and call him an asshole, and I would be rightfully fired. To act like there's no consequences for actions you take is child-like thinking.

Not only that, but firefighters and police don't really have the best reputation in the African-American community. Let's say that there's a horrible fire in Bed-Stuy where a lot of people of color die, and then they find this guy's tweets. The city has a responsibility as an employer, and as a servant of the taxpayers, to cover its own ass, not only from a financial perspective, but from a basic services perspective. How can you expect the people to have any faith that the City will provide equitable, decent service to all of its citizens if it's populated by racist mongoloids?

Poor Travis, trying to deal with these dopes.

Also, I'm fairly sure Rutgers is a public university.

Sorry "the man" won't let you guys say "faggot" any more, but the taxpayers of the State of New Jersey have a right to demand the man's firing. He's a public employee.

They're playing up the faggot part but the coach is really slapping the kids around, kicking them, throwing balls at their head etc. The guy who released the tapes says that the coach would totally change his tune when the athletics director came to watch practices, and Deadspin had it that three players transfered out of the program because of what a jackass he is. All around, a really fireable guy.



And I do love how Opie kept bringing up he had a really tough coach in high school, 30 years ago, so he gets how this is ok.

DURRR...BUT WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST LEAVE?

Because they'd have to sit out a year per NCAA rules, Opie. And their scholarships have to be renewed every year, so it kind of discourages whistleblowing.

I mean, he should just be fired from a BASKETBALL perspective. How in the world is he ever going to be able to recruit anyone ever again? Parents probably won't even let him in their houses.

Jimmy's logic in this Trayvon Martin discussion with Anthony is curious. He says that because Zimmerman had a gun, he shouldn't have followed someone who he believed to have criminal intent. Or he shouldn't have been caught off-guard by him. Or something. But Zimmerman is not guilty of murder, and he won't be found guilty. But his judgement "absolutely stinks" and he is culpable for the death. Because what if Zimmerman grabbed Trayvon?

So I guess what he means is that because Zimmerman had a gun and believed Trayvon to be a criminal, and decided to follow him, then he is is guilty of manslaughter because he didn't take the ass-kicking? I'm starting to think Jimmy might not have a law degree.

That whole discussion had me shaking my head. Between Jimmy trying not to hurt Ants feelings and set him off, to Ants blind racism. What i took away from it was when Jimmy said its all too convenient of a scenario. For Zimmerman to be 100% in the right. I got what he was TRYING to say even though he did a piss poor job doing it.

I heard Ant say, "whats up Jay" and I was like, "oh god...mewes is in too...this is going to be a mess". And then I heard him ask where the bathroom was right away....but apparently he's clean so, good for him.

Listening to this live read for the Hopper that lets you just completely skip all the commercials......"isn't ffwding through commercials annoying?"

You know what, I was happy with FF on DVR'd shows until I got the 30 second skip button with FIOS and now when I watch something where skip is disabled but FF is available I'm like "You motherless cocksuckers!"

And if it's on demand and you cant do either I think "do I really want to even watch this?"

hahaha....funny how one little change will make you despise something that you marveled at not too long ago.

I've got direct tv and its got this skip back feature on the ffwd. So if you're on ff x 3, when you hit play it jumps back about 3 seconds. makes it tons easier to hit the front of the return from commercials.

Also, I can't wait to hear Jimmy rant about the giant baby that is Tom Siezmore after he leaves. Christ how fucking needy is this guy?

Tom: What's the word I'm looking for?

Jimmy: Don't ask me!

Frustrating they don't see the irony/hypocrisy of shitting on CNN for getting the story of a bomber arrested the other day and then turning around and saying the news sucks because twitter gets facts (rumors with zero fact checking) out quicker. They're damned if they do and apparently damned if they don't.

In it's heyday, it was huge with the same audience as the show(s). Just look back to the thread of the first season. Now, no one gives a fuck at all around here (then again, I think they somehow getting decent ratings).

Jimmy's argument that AA doesn't say you have to believe in god is on perhaps a 10th grade level. I'm all for believers having a tool that helps (a few) of them recover, but to act like an atheist can go in and have success when the whole thing is based on belief in a higher power is just plain butt-stupid.

Radio History Opie says that Phil Hendrie for the longest time didn't let on that he was doing the voice of his guests but now he does.

Wrong Opie, I've been listening to him since 1996 and he has always let on. It's just the stupid listeners that didn't get it. I think Opie listened to one hour of Phil Hendrie five years ago, or read a trade article about him, and now he thinks he is a huge fan. I'm positive he never heard Hendrie do one of his "Skippy and Frank Radio Show" bits, or he probably wouldn't like him.

Future Jimmys assertion that we would be able to download our conciousness into a hard drive and email it 10 light years across the universe to where our new meat body perfect clone would be waiting for upload, and our old body would just hang out in a stasis tank, was pretty dubious. One, because you wouldn't be erasing the conciousness of the original, you'd be making a double of yourself, and two because that would essentially mean no one could ever die which would end the world when we run out of food, jobs and land due to overpopulation.

Just because it might end the world, doesn't make it implausible. Also, it's not like it would be free, so only people above a certain threshold would become immortal.

On an unrelated note, uploading consciousness to "the cloud" is common enough in the scifi writings of Cory Doctorow and others. Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom comes fairly close to Jimmy's ideas.

Maybe, but again that doesn't make it an implausible concept (unlike gutter's article might).

[realmenhatelife]

Maybe, but again that doesn't make it an implausible concept (unlike gutter's article might).

I think it's an implausible concept besides that. Jimmy wants to portray the mind as basically a computer, but it's not a computer it's organic. You'd have to grow an organic computer to interface the two things, then you'd have to have some kind of organic wi fi with a 10 light year signal strength to shoot your 'conciousness' across the galaxy. And you'd have to have achieved sending actual physical things across the galaxy to receive you.

Like Newport King says Jimmys solution to everything is Time + technology + they'll figure it out = profit. It just doesn't work like that, Jimmy doesn't understand science so much as he believes in alchemy.
