I want Roland to pull a Steve C so I never have to hear from him or about him again. He's the most hateable person I've ever heard on the show.

Speaking of dumb, I love the homophobic, racist caller saying he didn't want to have to explain homosexuality to his 13 year son. What rock does he live under that he genuinely thinks his 13 year old kid has no comprehension of homosexuality. I'm pretty sure I knew about homosexuality (and was completely unfazed by it) by the time I was 11 or 12, and this would have been back in 1991-92 when a majority of the public wasn't socially accepting of it and before there was an internet. I kept waiting for someone to call that guy out but instead Opie derailed it into talking about giving his kid timeouts so that he could "check his numbers."

Opie and Anthony are not the best people to turn to for good thoughts on parenting and child-rearing. As this segment demonstrates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLyfy87F3b4 Highlights include: An Oklahoma cop who admitted to helping parents by holding their kids down so they could beat/spank them Opie and Anthony completely missing the entire cause of the argument in question for the first thirty minutes A cavaclade of cruel and unusual psychological tortures delivered by parents unto their children, supplied by the American people and also Anthony.

Don't they have new bosses in Liberty Media or whatever? That definitely throws another interesting dynamic into re-signing. And I can't imagine Patton's advice being anything other than "Join ______ comedy podcast network." I mean what else is anyone doing? Maria Menouous's boyfriend had some sort of advice for them too, but I think he runs some no-name streaming service as well. Cromulent fucked around with this message at 15:43 on May 15, 2014 |

They wax lyrical about podcasts being the future, but most, if not all of the people doing them have a main career and the podcasts are a sideline. It doesn't seem like a viable solution. Their interviews are abysmal and most of the fun parts of the show these days are the spontaneous ones. They've also admitted they don't actual have concrete figures on how many people listen now and they only seem to attract a limited number of lovely sponsors, I can't see them giving up a guaranteed paycheck for a podcast that might be a complete bomb.

I can see them making some headways there, and maybe seeing if they can have some wiggle room on doing more things outside of the show as a way to promote the show and get a few more avenues open to them.

I can't imagine them doing a podcast solely for the technological reasons. Opie still plays audio clips off of CDs and has an entire staff to prepare stuff for him. I'm pretty sure he has the guys at the studio doing all his video editing, too. There's no way Opie could "steer the ship" on a DIY podcast without spending all the money they'd get on a full staff. Judging by Live from the Compound, Ant does know how to broadcast like it's not 1998, but I can't see Opie handing over the reigns. Opie still using CDs makes me irrationally annoyed. Even on Stern's first year of Sirius they were using a shared folder to play audio files. Cromulent fucked around with this message at 18:02 on May 15, 2014 |

R. Lee Ermy came in a few times years ago to promote his History Channel show about weapons in History. I remember the first time went very well, as all the Full Metal Jacket poo poo was asked for the first time. Every time since them he comes on to Plug something and they rehash the same stories about Kubric and how he got started.

Fez getting all of Chris Stanley's workload is just a bit. Fez got demoted which is why he's just in the booth. They're switching roles and making it as negative as possible, the payoff will be pepper getting the second chair. It's kind of a piss poor bit although I do like new fez. Booth fez is a sniper, funny and less depressed.

Listening to the 15th's O&A show, I'm actually a little bothered that Anthony can't grasp that kids these days don't have a huge problem with homosexuality. His sarcastic, normally baiting (on the phone) "Really?" when kids said it's great and that it dumb when others say it's not natural. Then he goes on to say that most kids aren't being honest because only one child (out of like 6?) was openly bothered by the video they watched, because he assumes they're peer-pressured into accepting homosexuality. He finishes this all off by saying the kids should watch a "Halloween Parade" down in middle village or some presumably "gay" part of New York. I've known Anthony to be, at worst, indifferent to homosexuality and their causes. But I feel like his obsession with being "open and honest" (ie: being blatantly bigoted) makes him think that there cannot be a way that a majority can accept a liberal cause. I normally look past his racist poo poo, but when he's going against acceptance of change right in front of him, it falls into a new level of delusion that's sort of sad to witness

Ant had a completely valid point that you seem to have completely missed, that those kids are being given a shaped, leading message at a completely impressionable age and are never even given the breathing room to develop their own honest conclusions free of a pre-established narrative they would be judged for. That is the exact same type of interference as a gay kid in past decades bending to social pressure to keep their "evil" homosexuality a secret, or a child growing up with a virulently homophobic parent or two, except in that case parents at least have an expected cultural prerogative to fill their childrens' mind full of garbage during the formative years should they be terrible enough to choose to do so. Just because the "new" enforced thinking is pushed in a direction you like doesn't mean it's a positive force, the intellectually stifling mechanism is still the same. Immediately snapping to calling something bigoted because you don't agree/comprehend the approach makes you look mentally weak. Anyone can be tolerant of something without being pressured into singing its praises. That's why it's called "tolerance", not obligated reverence.

Ant is an old man whose dad called him a human being daily and his biggest concern was his kid not turning out gay, so if nothing else I can see how that might affect Ant's view on homosexuality. Anyone listening to the "Super Show" so far?

So the new way is enforced thinking, but the old way isn't? Or it is, but it's accepted because it's older? It just sounds like you're arguing for the Appeal to Tradition fallacy. The honest truth is that kids accept one thing or another, it's that exposing the bigotry for what it is (an unfair judgment based on something naturally-based such as sexual preference) and instead allowing people to see beyond that to judge people on their actions, not based on something as silly as skin color, gender, or who they like to screw.

I think it just shows that a fear of homosexuality has been errnonously taught to young boys as something that can 'corrupt' them and not as a way some people are born. And it's corrosive as it becomes this horrible fear that can be used to control people to do anything if anybody challenges their weak ego. If Anthony wants to showcase how weak his masculinity is by being afraid of homosexuals, he's more than welcome. But it makes him look stupid. In fact, it makes a lot of the people on the show look stupid. It's just gay guys, who the hell cares?

I call Anthony bigoted because whenever he wants to be "open and honest", he wants to say all non-articulate black people are violent, hoodie-wearing gang bangers with 20 kids on the government till. He wants to use "human being" as a way to label things that he finds negative, despite the fact that the meaning has grown to something more targeted towards people normally subject to being ostracized or random acts of violence. I understand he's old school and stubborn, but the point is that he attempts to use "honesty" as a vehicle of just saying hurtful things with impunity, because he never listens to the honesty of how white, straight, well-to-do people hurt others. So when I hear him say these kids aren't being honest, I feel he's not expressing disbelief in the children's accepting words, but rather that there isn't enough hatred from these children. It's as if anger and repulsion should be expected, and thus bias or dishonesty is on display when it's not shown. With how the past few decades have been more about accepting all forms of people from all walks of life, I'm honestly not surprised most of those children are going "Yeah sure, whatever!" or "Aww that's nice  " to two strangers marrying. I suspect it took more than that video to make them reach positive judgements, so as biased as the video might be, I don't blame it on whoever made or edited the video, but rather whoever raised those dishonest, indiscriminately tolerant children.  Edit: I don't mean to make a big to do about gay issues or anything. I started this all expressing my surprise with Anthony. I'm aware of his bigotry and how it somewhat extends to homosexuals, but since the video had something to do with gay rights, I didn't think he'd care about the video. So his twist on it surprised me, is all.

Just because the "new" enforced thinking is pushed in a direction you like doesn't mean it's a positive force, the intellectually stifling mechanism is still the same. That's literally every generation. If not, we'd still be loving young boys because of the Hellenistic era and sacrificing people to sun gods. gently caress, we would still be throwing our garbage outside our cars if it wasn't for a crying Indian. Responsibility of every generation is to make it easier for the next to live in a better place. Instead of looking at Anthonys high school dropout perspective and trolling people I'll indulge you on this idea. It's not intellectually stifling anyone, it's teaching people not to give a poo poo just because someone has a different preference. All messages are extreme to a point (so people actually watch and talk about it) but the individual who is intelligent enough can make up there own mind in the end. If you were born in the last 30 years you were apart of the war on drugs. Yet we have weed legalized in 2 states. People are intelligent to wade through the bullshit, eventually.
