Will jimmy ever stop using his pat, unrelated response of cutting foreign aid to fix every ailment the country has?

why should he be different on this topic...

[sailor]

why should he be different on this topic...

Fair enough.

[realmenhatelife]

Travis is secretly the best character on O&A because he's smart, and every now and then just has to pipe in at how dumb they are.


Opie: Paternity leave was never for guys.

Travis then has to point out that by definition paternity means father.

[sailor]

I enjoyed jimmy pointing out that, as hilarious as they thought they were, the guys' quotes for the press release were a bad idea. If only he'd mentioned that they were exactly of the sort of quote that they would rip apart during jocktober, if included in a show's bio.

[Dell]

Jimmy's inane logic is baffling...the callers' logic is even worse

[realmenhatelife]

The OKCupid thing: OKcupid is a dating website that distinguishes itself by accommodating same sex matches, something many of their big competitors dont do.

They used their DOS to firefox as a way to publicize the stance of firefox' new CEO.

The site would not allow itself to be accessed by firefox, they're only hurting themselves through the stance and they're happy to do it based on principle. You might have an argument if the web browser was blocking sites based on personal philosophy (although they certainly dont care that web browsers and ISPs already block sites and throttle traffic when sites are financially unfriendly to their business relationships) but this is the opposite of that. I would absolutely bet money that more people stopped visiting okcupid than downloaded a new web browser. And if the story was christian mingle is being pressure by gays to allow same sex matches their argument would be that the commercial enterprise has a right to say what services they provide and to whom.

I'm not surprised that a room full of comedians doesn't understand choosing principles over revenue.

And if you dont want to get called right wing conservatives you probably shouldn't endorse the 'gay mafia' theory.

Insane. Jimmy has pointed out innumerable times that comedians are the most brilliant minds to grace this fair earth.

Sure, especially quoting that right-wing blowhard, Bill maher.

[KC2OSO]

Not enough commercial breaks for me. I need more commercials and I want to pay more to listen to them.

[realmenhatelife]

When you throw the gay thing into the mix with all the other stuff they're certainly coming out more right than anything.

[sailor]

More romanticizing the mob. Yay!

[realmenhatelife]

More romanticizing the mob. Yay!

Yeah I was confused by that one. Rev Al really is a scumbag for rolling over on those sweet, lovable mobsters.


And dumb opie always has to act like maybe I shouldn't be talking about caddying for mobsters 35 years ago. Wow, you're so hooked up dude, did you get a taste when luftansa went down?


But the organized crime that made off track betting fail, that was a bad thing.

And the caller points out the anti-snitching code in the inner city, which i'm pretty sure the show is against, but then al is a rat for snitching. And wow, criminals like to throw around money. What saints they are! The worst part of the caddying thing is he's acting like he shouldnt bring it up, but he's mentioned it scores of times.

It's also dont snitch to the cops, because the cops arent your friends. It's not like the mob likes black people or supports that community at all.

But i don't think the code gives a rat's ass WHO you're snitching on.

It's not a good code, it's just not analogous.

Yeah, its like digitalis or something.

the iron sheik was awesome on the show today

Fuck yeh he was

That story about his friend who got killed and thats when he knew he had to leave is fucked up

Guess the first hour will be a wrestling break today. RIP Warrior.

I'm surprised how many media outlets I'm seeing this in. I guess for people my age this is really hitting the nostalgias.

[realmenhatelife]

A black woman also intervened in that detroit beating and supposedly saved that guy's life, racially motivated?

He was incredibly famous for a few years. I'm not surprised.

RIP Jim Hellwig.

Man, right after being on RAW, too.

[newport king]

I really enjoy how much Bobo irritates Jimmy

[sailor]

The bad names is always a funny bit, but is shea stadium really any worse than naming your kid after the Hudson River?

[sailor]

And I guess the caller the other day was talking about Greg Christie leaving apple due to his battles with Ive.

[realmenhatelife]

The bad names is always a funny bit, but is shea stadium really any worse than naming your kid after the Hudson River?

There's got to be a way to get the topic of kids named Brooklyn on the show to watch Opie go after it.

[realmenhatelife]

Almost liked reagan "growing up?" I guess you're still growing in your mid 20s.

I do enjoy this multi layered irony of Hannety calling Opie a liberal and Opie trying to assert he has a political ideology and isn't just stupid.

[sailor]

I'm not for draconian gun laws, but people talk about the guns during shootings because people tend to die more than in stabbing where there's a greater tendency to simple injury.

[realmenhatelife]

And a kitchen knife is a tool where a gun is a weapon. Despite the slippery slope arguments people make we all understand that knives will always be around with relatively no risk and do not need any serious regulation, and their design is more or less perfected and there is no convolution of design well beyond purpose like there is with guns.

Soder's happy asian scientist on nancy grace was a great character.

Not sure what just happened

Sounded serious

[newport king]

RIP Otto

[realmenhatelife]

RIP Otto

Really? Man that stinks, he had such great stories.

[newport king]

Yeah Jim got a call then it got real quiet ans they immediately went to break. Theyre talking about it now. Sucks. Guy was probably my favorite regular guest

[cougarjake13]

Fucking sucks big time

[realmenhatelife]

Doesn't take long to go from sadness to rage at the industry.

[CountryBob]

Story about Otto - Sam saying he supposedly died in his sleep.

Makes me think - would you want to go in your sleep or be conscious that you are dying?
It has always creeped me out when someone dies in their sleep. That the place where we are most vulnerable and to have death creep in just messes with me.
scary shit

[cougarjake13]

Why would you want to have that knowledge or experience that youre about to die?

Do u feel like youre missing out on something like getting that feeling youre about to go and get the proverbial life flash ?

Personally my prob is I dont want to die ever so neither way is good for me turn me into a cyborg or johnny depps new movie

[realmenhatelife]

Gun people are so insane. They make you register them so they can round them up easier when they decide to take them, and it's unfair that the gun owner has to be responsible for knowing gun laws because gun owners are the only people on the planet that are responsible for maintaining their own legality. Now excuse me while I mail my taxes, car insurance, and vehicle registration.

[sailor]

I think the point is these are rules/regulations that came into place long AFTER many people bought these guns. And the assault weapon classification is mostly bull.

[realmenhatelife]

So? They change laws all the time. You used to be able to smoke in restaurants and text while you drive.

The assault rifle thing is more contrived and arbitrary, sure. We'd be better off talking about what is unnecessary in terms of power, rate of fire, and magazine capacity. But it isn't persecution of gun owners.

And the guy who called in to bitch at Anthony about guns is a classic gun owner argument. The guy brings up the gun lobby having too much influence on politicians and Anthony ignores it and jumps right into gun violence stats.




Here is the DJ that "got fired" for playing blurred lines. He was DJing in a bar, the student asked him to stop playing the song, she was bounced from either the DJ area or the bar, started posting about it on facebook, the bar apologized and said they would not use the DJ again.

[sailor]

But it's different in that this can cause you to lose your gun and never be able to buy another in that class again. If I had one of these guns and didn't listen to this show, I'd have no idea this was a law. Like if they added some obscure car rule and if you missed it the first time around, you'd never get a car again. It's obviously persecution, and it's ok if you think it's a good thing, but it definitely is.

On a different yet oddly similar note, they talk about how everyone knows bob Saget is a dirty comic. If not for hearing him on their show or the virus tour, I'd in no way have a clue about his act.

It's not more persecution than voter ID laws, which Anthony is in favor of, except that people actually commit gun crimes while there's no evidence that people are committing voter fraud.

But if you owned a gun or were a gun enthusiast you'd be more aware of the laws changing when it comes up in the news, or I'm sure the NRA and other organizations are promoting the changes too. New York is obviously not a gun friendly state but just because laws are restrictive does not mean that they are actively persecuting anyone. They dont have the federal authority to really persecute.

[sailor]

I don't think the word persecute is nearly as restrictive as you seem to believe.

[LeedsJr]

I don't think the word persecute is nearly as restrictive as you seem to believe.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. :lol:

I never listen to O&A anymore, I just visit this thread to see what sailor and RMHL are arguing about this morning. I just know that one of these days, they're totes gonna make out.

Booyah!

You must have forgotten the grossness you wrote.

It's not gross in my imagination.

This commercial illustrates what I believe to be RMHL and sailor's relationship. (RMHL is the first guy, sailor is the one he meets).....

Anyway. So Jim did date Jen Carmedy. I was googling that when they first started plugging her podcast out of the blue a few months ago, and I couldn't find any credits for her.

[sailor]

They were saying yesterday she blew Chip after some comedy show.

[sailor]

Sam alluded to the shitty compression taking place on raw dog. Some day it'll get fixed.

[realmenhatelife]

They were saying yesterday she blew Chip after some comedy show.

I mean a few months ago they were talking about her and Jim was plugging her podcast, when I looked at it I thought it was strange that her episodes were all with show people like Bobby Kelly and Colin Quinn. Then I googled her and she didn't have very many credits I thought would put her in that world. So I suspected she was an ex.

I was just confirming.

Oh you're really needling Jenny now.

[sailor]

Oh you're really needling Jenny now.

I can be helpful!

[jennysmurf]

Oh you two. :happy:

just half way through this O&A oldie...got to it from Otto bits, but I don't recall hearing him as of yet

Wow Lady Di just made me gag.

With her penis?

[sailor]

Unmasked was entertaining. Opie is blatantly lying saying he wanted to get fired in Boston. It's obvious every time he tells the story even he doesn't believe it.

And it's dishonest to blame mercurio for their second firing. Opie put a church on their list and he took the call knowing where mercurio was. Oh, but mercurio should have known it was on the list for shock value only. Complete bull.

[cougarjake13]

Maybe it was
MMabe it wasnt

Only op knows for sure

But maybe he thought no one would try

[spoon]

the opie hate is funny to me

[sailor]

the opie hate is funny to me

No hate at all

[KC2OSO]

funny op didn't choose a mosk or a temple for that old gag. he literally picked the safest place possible

[deliciousV]

the opie hate is funny to me

We agree here, Opie played the part of the asshole many times over the years, but he was the only one who hated himself for it. He's actually a decent family man. He is a decent person who played a role, he feels guilty about it now. The others, as funny as they are, feel nothing.

[realmenhatelife]

Anthony is trolling about genetics and East African runners/crime, intelligence and blacks but he's actually making the opposite point that he wants to. East African runners are so successful for a number of cultural and environmental factors, not purely genetic factors like Anthony wants to believe.

And now I'm fast forwarding this race baiting bullshit.

[realmenhatelife]

If it was genetic then any ethnically ethiopian person born anywhere would have the features that make ethiopians good at long distance running, which isn't the case. This guy was raised in East Africa through his formative years which physically sets him up to be a successful runner, and moving to America doesn't undo that. That's not genetics, it's environmental.

Like how New Zealand has the wolds most successful rugby team. New Zealanders aren't genetically suited to rugby, they have a culture and support system that makes them better at it than most places. But that doesn't come up because most of those guys are white.

[sailor]

There are certainly genetic factors, but its clearly mostly influenced by culture. People are good at the sports their culture participates in, on a whole.

[realmenhatelife]

There are certainly genetic factors, but its clearly mostly influenced by culture. People are good at the sports their culture participates in, on a whole.

Their data doesn't support the genetic theory at all. The successful runners are native East Africans, not just of East African descent.

[sailor]

Their data doesn't support the genetic theory at all. The successful runners are native East Africans, not just of East African descent.

Without any data, common sense tells you there's a genetic element. If you're a squat people, no degree of love of running will make you great marathoners.

I'm no marathoner, that's for sure.

[realmenhatelife]

Genetically I believe you people are more comfortable on boats.

[sailor]

Genetically I believe you people are more comfortable on boats.

What do you mean "you peo..." - that old gag.

And it's just an americanized spelling. I'd get seasick in moments.

[jennysmurf]

AOL is still up and running, either by aol.com or using their old software. Years ago they sent out emails stating that it was now free. I still use it for my email, and as kind of a morning paper.
