This is something all over national radio: Why is it whenever truckers call into a radio show, they feel the need to announce that they're a truck driver?
The naif in me says that they always ask the callers to tell where they're from, so the truck driver, being from basically no single place, has to constantly say "i drive a truck" to beg off the question. Reality is that they're probably bored to loving tears and would love any excuse to go off on what a lovely job driving a truck is (but still probably way better than what they would be doing otherwise).

On a happier note, my favorite bit from Lady Di week was actually the part that got pretty much overshadowed because of the mugging the following weekend, all the poo poo she talked about in her past with the comedians in studio at the end of Friday's show and into the postshow.

I can't give a real good timecode since they keep going to her and away from her throughout but here's a copy.

Ant rants for years and it never gets picked up while Opie says one little thing and he's now in the media as someone who wants to start the Anti-Obama revolution.

It's kind of like that time when Ant got a huge viral video (vista install) instead of Opie who desperately wanted one.

The Cronut Guy posted:

Due to the video that was released, the health department used it as evidence to ask us to re-cement and closed down the bakery for extermination. As a small one-shop bakery, we often feel like we're being looked at under a tremendous microscope. A lot of time people don't see the larger ramifications of their actions and how a tiny video of a mouse running across the screen for 3 seconds can cause harm and damages to an honest, small business that people's livelihood depends on. We of course believe that we run a clean and good operation, but see that we were targeted and will rise to the occasion to be even better.

Chef says we will be doing everything that was asked of us, and hope to reopen on Monday. And he's saddened for our customers who had plans this weekend that we weren't able to welcome them. Our team will be here in person to speak to customers live.

I also loved how during that same conversation, Ron was going on about how whatever gives people joy is their thing and you shouldn't criticize it. Riiiight.

I know we keep the threads separate, but I have to tell you guys that I have heard every single Howard Stern show from about 2001 until about a year ago. I didn't think radio could get funnier than Artie playing off of Howard. That is until about 3 months ago when I started listening to O&A. With Howard, I would get a huge laugh once a week...with O&A I get one once every 10 minutes. I feel like I've heard every O&A bit on youtube in the past 3 months and it's like heroin. I see what you guys bitch about and, while I agree, you should consider yourself lucky. Anyway, I just heard Mimi Beardsley for the first time ever yesterday and I can't stop singing it:

From what little I've seen/heard, Cronut Guy was supposed to be in on Wednesday. On Tuesday, they were talking with Roland about the upcoming interview and making light fun of the pastry guy. Word got back to doughnut dude's wife, Roland panicked and cancelled the interview, fearing his pastry connection would be severed. The boys were upset (mainly Jimmy) because Roland expected them to gently caress with the dude and never asked what their plan for the interview was. Roland then proceeded to act like a child further. I'm sure the locking down of his Twitter was because of rear end in a top hat listeners, but he acted like a dick for cookies so whatever.

You'll find a ton of former Stern fans in here. I listened to Stern for pretty much the entire Artie years, then gave up about 8 months after he left. I hate all that radio war bullshit, it's annoying to listen to. I just never checked out O&A because I was already listening to a show where I figured out all the little subplots, idiosyncrasies, etc. I wish I got into O&A earlier than I did.

I know it's hard to say no to a bazillion dollars, but Stern never should have renewed his last contract. Both Stern fan and O&A fan alike can pretty much agree on this. Neither show is perfect, but when O&A is bugging me (Ant talking like a member of Stormfront, or really, any of them talking on almost any political issue), I just have to check out what Stern's been up to for 5 minutes (AGT talk, Hamptons knob gobbling, etc.) and realize it's not so bad in comparison. I still regularly check out the Stern thread to see what's been up (basically nothing). Gary's pitch at the Mets game will always be there to remind me of how funny it used to be. Also, I love Richard and hope he lands on his feet after the show ends.

You'll find that both fan bases are similar in that they both love complaining about the show. I'm actually in a transition period where I'm finding myself getting into Ron & Fez more than O&A, but old school fans of Ron & Fez are saying it's reached its crest.

Good points and I also check into the Stern thread from time to time. Through O&A I discovered Ron and Fez. I now love that show as well and Ron is one of the funniest dudes out there.

The early XM days are funny because Ant very rarely talked about race, and when he did, he tip-toed around things and was never really offensive. Jimmy, however, called anyone from the middle east a "savage" who "funds terrorism", constantly made fun of Asians for having expressionless faces, and would casually throw out n-bombs (I recall him saying some piece of listener audio "sucks friend of the family dick"). Jim has definitely come around on a lot of that stuff.
