As if the rule #1 of a radio PROFESSIONAL BROADCASTER is to make sure you don't pick a side entirely and alienate half of your potential audience. Or something.

Yeah man! You're just the lightning rod for the discussion! Maybe someone unfamiliar with the show will be turning the dial and land on your station and will hear it and want to contribute!

Just make sure you only ask that if John didn't actually call to talk about the Browns. Also after you derail him completely with that, berate him for being so slow to get to the point, then exclaim that he ruined it for everyone and you're not taking any more callers.

It'd be a funny bit if it didn't happen so loving often.

And make sure you keep interrupting to interject another useless fact or statement, all the while getting angry at the caller for trying to answer your question.

This will be a funny image to come back to in about a year when Anthony's audience churns down to nothing and Opie's still got plenty of time on his contract. I give Anthony about even odds of blowing his brains out or taking a job as a lovely jock in some backwater radio hellhole at that point

Morter posted:

Excusing your compulsion to retort to everything you don't agree with using passive-aggressive remarks of sarcasm, Opie really did get annoying because, like Jimmy does sometimes, he repeats his point over and over, rather than take in what others saying. However, (also like Jimmy at times), he's inconsistent and flip-flopped back and forth. At first I thought it was a real hamfisted attempt to get both sides calling and talking about it but I couldn't even make it past the segment. It was truly just a way for people to echo their own sentiments again and again. Both the hosts and the callers, on both sides, were frustrating.

This is very funny. Unlike most of Opie's stuff on the radio. I mean, he's kind of funny, some. But this is hilarious.

I remember when someone, I think Troy, was bothering Joe and he responded by yelling, saying it was attacking his livelihood. They bothered him about that for a little while afterwards.

I'd love to follow that up with some clips of Opie yelling "OBAMA!" during his first campaign while Anthony couldn't care less.

Troy being back on the air is the worst thing ever.

A loving hour of him talking today about some random girl he's loving "baby heading" him. No jokes, nothing funny. Just that.

Hey guys, he's down for whatever.

I think I'm done with Anthony's show for awhile. It's just awkward when he doesn't have a guest. He's talking about getting a place in the city to do the show and that would be great.

Until then I think I'd be better off signing up in a few months and downloading the episodes that have guests and then cancelling.

I'm listening to yesterdays Ron and Fez and once again they bring in someone who tries to give Fez advice and its so loving funny to listen to them lose steam as more of his crazy is revealed.

'You've had 4 heart attacks and 11 stents? Well...I guess you gotta stay positive. They havent killed you so thats a win right?'

Was that the least funny female comedian of all time that they had on on Thursday?

She's a lesbian don't you know. And that's all I can remember about her. She gave Fez the exact same advice that every caller does and managed to be about as entertaining/funny.

Holy poo poo, Fez was loving hilarious today during the live Ron & Fez broadcast from D.C. He was great the entire episode, but the highlight was when he was "hypnotized" to be Opie and proceeded to rip Opie apart for a good 30 minutes.

As much as Fez has alienated his audience, he certainly knew the perfect way to get people rooting for him. The way people talk about Opie now, he's like the anti-christ.

So I've been blocked from Opie's Twitter for about 3 or 4 years now, and just now I've finally been both blocked from following and viewing his tweets. I'm guessing this has something to do with the Fez as Opie audio? This should be a fun listen.
