Droopy Goines posted:Dan Soder slayed on O&A, the KFC segment was incredible. I loved the KFC bit. O&A seem to do really well when they've got a comedian guest in studio and spend a half hour concentrating on one weird news story. They do significantly less well when they've got no comedian guest and spent three hours concentrating on one political story.

Just got back from the city and the Norton show taping. I went to the 7pm show, in case anybody else was there. Overall, I had a great time. My friend and I were the first two there, and also got to sit front and center. He had a good monologue, mostly stuff in his wheelhouse of comedy so he wasn't really holding back. The guest was former drug kingpin Rick Ross (no relation to the rapper, who which actually took this guy's name). Wasn't the worst interview, but his skills do need some refinement. He's also done pre-recorded sketches, one of which was ok, but the other featured Uncle Paul and was fantastic. My only immediate worry is how well the show will translate to an audience watching from home that might not be an O&A listener. Studio energy is so much different that just watching at home. Also in the event that you were there, I was the "white guy in cargo shorts" that Jimmy referred to because I got booted from my seat for a couple of minutes because a cameraman needed it so they could cut a couple of promos. I had to kinda duck off to the side. It was pretty funny. shyduck fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Jun 19, 2014 |

They do significantly less well when they've got no comedian guest and spent three hours concentrating on one political story. I agree. They should really push harder to bring in funny people, even if the audience doesn't know who they are. Jimmy and Ant really step up their game when someone is in studio and it usually keeps Opie quiet. The KFC bit was hilarious. Dan Soder is really funny on the show. One of my biggest Opie complaints is when there is some hilarious riffing going on between guests, Ant, and Jimmy, he butts in by going to the phones. Everyone's on a roll and you hear "let's see what Robert in Atlanta has to say".

I really feel Ron and Fez has stepped it up bringing in new younger comedians since going to Raw Dog, not all of them work but there have been quite a few I never heard of before and were really fun to have in studio. Good to see some of them are hitting O&A now too like Dan Soder.

Patrice's take on soccer is pretty much 100% correct because it's a really loving boring sport to watch unless you're intimate with the rules/play of it but it's *so* boring I could give a gently caress to learn the rules to care about it.

Opie has the wit of a canned yam, but it's true that when he's not around the show doesn't really go anywhere. He's best at guiding the whole show along and taking in calls and he needs to focus on doing and performing more funny poo poo like when he smashed Sandy Kane's guitar. I recall someone called in at one point bashing Opie and Ant explained his role pretty well by comparing him to the rudder on a boat. I can handle him bringing in crappy callers because usually he's just throwing more fuel to the fire for Ant and Jim to bash the caller on. If there's one thing I dislike about Opie it's how he's so fixated on break. It seems like half the time he opens his mouth he's talking about stuff before break or after break or during break or break break break break break.

To poo poo briefly on another member of the staff, I had a good laff when Jimmy asked Erock if he ever felt in danger being in Italy. His fear of anywhere that isn't the United States is hilarious, especially considering he lives in NYC and thus spends every day in somewhere that isn't exactly in the safest city in the world.

ozza posted:Also "young son" / "young family". It really is staggering to listen to him when other people are talking about going overseas. How uncomfortable and non-committal he was when Bill Burr was talking about touring round Europe. I could understand if they were talking about really sketchy areas of South America, Africa or even Eastern Europe but England/France/Italy? He took a trip to Brazil to gently caress hookers and he's scared of tourist areas in Europe.

I love how people say "The show doesn't go anywhere with Opie" yet when he's not in and it's just Ant/Jim + Guest they're amazing shows because they: 1. Don't' take callers 2. Don't need to take breaks in the middle of discussion/bit 3. Don't have to try and include Opie in any funny topics/discussion

Opie is by far the most replaceable aspect of the show and always has been, his only value is his name. There's a line of people out the door who could do his job for a fraction of the cost and probably be far funnier. Good for him though, he conned radio executives for over two decades and made millions.

You need Opie to stir up poo poo, because Jim Norton loves celebrities and Ant will fawn over anyone old or conservative (or young and hot girls) and so you need Opie to occasionally say the absolute wrong thing and get everyone in the room riled up, leaning back and chuckling as the chaos unfolds. He is the Destroyer, after all. Plus do you really want to hear nothing but Ant ranting about blacks and Jim Norton making tranny jokes every episode?

The thing I find weird is that Opie is so against "regular radio", yet his contributions are what keeps the show closer to that model (breaks, callers, goofy spectacle poo poo like having naked girls in the studio). That, plus his tendency to reiterate what he said multiple times anytime he says something well received just wears thin. At least when Ant goes off on his political rants it can usually lead to a joke or two.

I agree with you about goofy spectical poo poo generally, but isn't that one particular kind he's said he doesn't like? I know he's said he's never been in to having porn people on the show the way Ant and Jimmy do, and I know he said people are over "naked women on the radio" when they discussed Dominique Ansel not showing up.

Anytime something funny happens he jumps in with "this is how you do radio" or "this bit turned out to be great". He's always trying to throw in radio lingo and talk up how much he knows or who he knows in the industry. I hate the weird meta-analysis throughout the show. He seriously sounds like a 20 year old college radio DJ trying to impress his friends.
