Do you define talking about the "problems" with the black community better? Pretty sure some guy who got fired from a local news show for making racist comments is a guest.

I have to assume that's about Wackbag. I don't think we're on Jimmy's radar (nor have we really said anything that could really piss him off like that). Trashing his new show maybe?

Jimmy is a little boy, but I don't feel like backing up Wackbag and those sort of establishments.

I wonder how hard it's eating up Opie that Whoo Kid's video of Chris Pratt rapping was one of the top viral videos yesterday and has over 1 million views.

I haven't listened yet, but I just saw that Todd Barry is on O&J right now. It'll be interesting to hear how he does, especially after his disastrous appearance on Ron & Fez recently.

Aahahaha. They could have had Chris Pratt in, but "he couldn't make it in until after 10". loving seriously? You can't have the biggest movie star of the summer in because you don't like working a minute after 10?

Jimmy's not talking about here and I don't think he's talking about Reddit, so I'm guessing Wackbag as well. Their community is a mere shell of what it was, and it's like the same 10 people that post on there. I feel bad for Opie in that he's been getting a lotta hate sent his way because he's not funny and he's not Anthony. He was never that guy to begin with, and he's been put in an impossible spot because Ant couldn't just shut his loving trap. I'm glad he's lashing out a bit on Twitter. shyduck fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Aug 6, 2014 |

I've liked most of the Opie and Jim shows so far because they all feel like friday shows where a comedian comes in. Those are my favorite shows. Not feelin Anthony Cumia's show yet, but it's only been two shows. Dice show just felt corny and dated, "we got bikini girls serving drinks!" Real Jimmy Buffet white trash poo poo.

He went on a white supremacist's podcast and said racist poo poo in order to promote his own podcast just as it launched. I don't think it was a miscalculation or an accident -- he wants people who think this is "real talk" to sign up.

I decided to wade through Opie's twitter since you guys said he's been getting poo poo. The one thing I noticed is how much of an idiot Anthony's brother is. He's constantly throwing up poo poo to Opie asking why he didn't plug Ant's new show, and telling people Sirius won't allow talk about Anthony because he hurt the company so bad. I haven't listenned to the show much but Opie gives a pretty fair amount of mentions to Anthony's new show. Seems kind of unfair to pile on him for that. Then again Ant's brother seems to be a moron.

Anthony got "Shock and Jock"ed today and didn't get the reference. Also he still doesn't have a phone screener or proper sound mixing. It nearly blew my eardrum out when he played a video clip.

How many live viewers is he getting for the show? I saw 6,000 in the screenshots of the first show which I guess isn't bad.

As someone who has never listened to A&O, could someone explain where Opie fits into this whole scandal? You guys are all fans of the duo... but clearly don't subscribe to Anthony's nutjob racist thinking. So why has Opie stuck with him (besides their contract) throughout these years? To add something to the thread, Jim Norton was on Barry Katz' Industry Standard podcast last week as one of the few non-executives/10 percenters he's had on the show (Katz was formerly Norton's manager). They talked about Anthony towards the end of the show and Katz pushed back on Norton's defense pretty hard.

A few hours ago I read some of the replies to someone getting on Opie's case about not plugging it, Ant's brother said after being kind of a dick about it, "Oh, I didn't realize they plugged it, I haven't been listening to their show." So yeah, he's an idiot.

Mordecai Sanchez posted:(besides their contract) Yep. There was long period of time that occurred right after Obama was elected (imagine that) where they absolutely despised each other, highlighted by "The Grape Fight." They had recently set aside their differences (after Anthony Butt-Boy Danny was fired for being an idiot) and the shows became much less tense, but really they only worked together because they knew they were good at what they did and made a lot of money for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuUp1NAfyJI

It'd be great if Florentine officially took Anthony's spot. I was pretty high on Dan Soder, but the more he's on doing that same high pitched whatever woman voice the more I realize he wouldn't add a whole lot being a full time guy.

I'll throw up a disclaimer that I only started listening in 2013 so anyone else feel free to correct me. My understanding is that the racism thing really started ramping up in 2008 (take a guess why), and from what I've listened to Opie has either tapped out or tried to steer the conversation in a new direction when Anthony did his Stormfront Power Hour. My feeling is that Opie knows that Opie and Anthony as a brand was worth more than either of them separately, and given how some people rag on him for not being funny he felt roughing it out was the best course. AS for Jimmie, there isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. He can be extremely selective when it comes time to calling people out.

1500quidporsche posted:I'll throw up a disclaimer that I only started listening in 2013 so anyone else feel free to correct me. Ant's racism was always insinuated more than overt before, but he went full on klan the past few years. Previously it would usually take the form of a quick joke that could have been made completely in jest rather than actual racism. A personal fav: Jim: "I can't take Melatonin, it gives me nightmares" Ant: "Really? Melanin does that for me" Others have said it, but besides the Obama thing, Patrice dying seems to have been a pivotal moment. They seemed to genuinely like each other, but Patrice was never afraid to call Ant out. Between the two big names, as someone who finds Opie more annoying than funny, I did always laugh around 2012/2013 when he would start obviously playing Candy Crush as soon as Ant got started on some race/political rant.

It could just be that I started in the "Anthony is going on his racist rant again" but I actually enjoy Opie's stuff and find his attempts to annoy the audience/ant/jimmy by taking calls from Lady Di or bringing in Dennis Falcone pretty funny. Could you elaborate on what you find annoying about Opie?

There have already been a couple of guys who've hit the nail on the head, they worked better as a pair than as two separate entities. Opie is the one who coordinates the team and keeps everything running smoothly, he isn't hitting a whole lot of home runs but that's not really what he should be doing anyway. That's where Anthony came in; despite all his racism Ant is hilarious when he gets the chance to be. Together you've got a brand that survived (sort of) 20 years and entertained a lot of people. Things are still working with Ant gone and by all accounts it's not like the show has even really had a dip in quality but who knows how it's going to turn out? As long as he wasn't running his mouth about black people Anthony was the funny man and Opie was more than happy to let him be when it kept people tuning in.

Could you elaborate on what you find annoying about Opie? I know you're not asking me, but I thought I'd make the distinction that Opie's attempts to annoy the audience for the sake of humor were, at best, rather misguided. When he brought up the freak guests to get Jimmy, Ant, or the audience to get mad at them, that was actually funny. There was a freak show quality to it, and there was also an element of how much the talent could stand of those unlimited wells of stupidity before they themselves had to tap out. But when they would do extended food bits, then harp on how cool they were for doing radio segments that no one liked, then played audio bits based on those shows, Opie is being an imbecile. He's going off the shock value that "Wow, we're doing some bad radio on PURPOSE here! Hyuk hyuk!" Obviously, it doesn't take much for the Opster to do that.
