or nobody gives a poo poo about your views on race I didn't have much notice to make a new OP so this is a quick one. WNEW FM partially reformed on XM Radio. Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez had an amazing New York studio. There was a large cast of weird characters and comedians coming in. Everything was great. Then the Sirius merger happened. And they moved the shows into a broom closet in the sky. Characters stopped showing up. Comedians became too big for the show. And everything kind of drifted for a couple years. Opie & Anthony leaned on Anthony's politics. Ron & Fez leaned on Fez's growing mental illness and games to fill time. Anthony was fired for comments on Twitter. Fez So what now? Bennington The best of the new shows. Ron has teamed up with his real life daughter Gail and not real life son Pepper Hicks. They keep things silly. Here's a Best Of YouTube playlist if you need to catch up. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVQkEl0-Qf5YFgipeC9jBoAs8GxaEjIDF Opie & Jim Or OpieRadio. They're still doing the morning show on the same channel. Dialed back the politics and seem more focused on pop culture. Jim does an advice show on Fridays. Anthony Cumia Runs a video podcast out of his basement. Four days a week, 2 hours a day. Costs $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Occasionally he does a free broadcast to try to drum up interest. Says he'll dial back the politics but still leans on it. Rumored to be getting a New York studio in July. Sam Show Fridays. Rumored to be going daily on OpieRadio. Occasionally DJ Whoo Kid or Nicole from the Morning Mashup stop by. It's Erik Nagel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2xxrwh3gFM Fridays. Just expanded to 3 hours. Mostly nerd talk and interviews. Various podcasts Off the top of my head. Davey Mac's Sport Program. High Society Radio. Legion Of Skanks. My Wife Hates Me with Rich Vos and Bonnie. Robert Kelly You Know What Dude. Bill Burr's Morning Podcast. Nick DiPaulo. Race Wars with Kurt Metzger and Sherrod Small. Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Apr 29, 2015 |

I got burned out with Ron and Fez. There was a good 3 months where I listened to maybe 4 shows, all with Big Jay. Bennington is something I'm looking forward to now. So much fun. Also Shelby was fired.

Yeah, hes road the pot comic shtick into stardom but his stand up is really below par when you look at it, not only that, he's one of those comics who's telling the same jokes he was ten years ago.

The worst part about the Bennington show is that they make all the other shows in the thread title sound like garbage.

Just want to say on the first page that anyone who was a fan of the busting balls, hangout vibe of old O&A should listen to a few Legion of Skanks episodes. They'll admit that they talk over each other too much and its not always perfect, but I think it's the best comedy podcast there is. Not sure what the fan favorites are, but the one where everyone wants to see each others' anuses stands out as a good first listen to me. Bennington rules.

Looks like Sirius is actually doing studio renovation. https://instagram.com/p/2GzvZyrhYY/ https://instagram.com/p/2HH07CrhfD/ I wonder where they're going to be for two weeks.

At least now they'll have a great new studio for whatever they pick to replace everyone in the next couple of years.

So in the Tiny Dancer ending of Bennington, I hear a lot of people singing. Is it the Bennington crew, or instead a part of the extra stuff you hear in the background of that same song?

I'm normally not one to get in on the Opie bashing, but goddamn was he awful during the Johnny Rotten/John Lydon interview today. He asked terrible questions and didn't seem to get Lydon's vibe at all. Thankfully Jimmy was there to salvage the interview.

Somebody got a creepshot of Fez hanging around outside today's Unmasked. http://imgur.com/YWSmTT9 - edit And I finally got around to editing the final Ron & Fez episode. For anybody who missed it because it was a best of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVozM04s4g0 Gail Bennington calling into Ron & Ron is 16:58 in.

So Fez retired as an on-air voice but still working the back scenes? Probably for the insurance, huh? "when I get home, I'm cutting up the dresses. No more desses"

Fez actually died in March and they have used old tapes and a look-a-like to seem like he fake retired and is now working behind the scenes.

I've only listened to a couple but they seem extremely hit and miss. Sometimes he has a good guest in and it's fun to listen. Other times it just feels like lazy radio as he's all alone or with some right wing talking head. The good guests seem like they are drying up but maybe that will change once he gets a New York studio. I guess if you love Anthony and don't mind his politics if would be worth checking out. He also keeps a show log at http://theanthonycumiashow.blogspot.com/ Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 00:43 on May 2, 2015 |

I know it's annoying to hear people say this, but I'm throwing my vote out that the shows should be split to different threads. At least Bennington/R&F and the 202 poo poo. It just seems the fan base is more divided than ever at this point.

If some butthurt human being wants to make his own Anthony Cumia thread where they can real talk about race or whatever horseshit they feel like they can't talk about in here without getting dogpiled, I'll PM a mod and get it removed from the title.

I have never listened to Ron & Fez a single time in my entire life but I have enjoyed reading the posts about it here. There are just few enough posts per day here that I think both topics compliment each other. I'm for keeping the thread exactly the way it is.
