I don't think so. Troy threatened to beat the dude up and called him a fag like 20 times on air so management had to do something. I think for a while after that Troy wasn't allowed to talk on mic for months.

The part that got me more was when he said he wanted to beat Zito up, or something to that effect, because he was a 'dick-sucking human being'. There was definitely an air of a physical threat throughout the whole thing, so I never really bought it when they said it was just a bit or that it was just "words".

That said, the picture that brought this up seems recent, and I'm pretty sure that fight happened a while ago, so what gives?

I wanted to be a neo deconstructivist, but Mom wouldn't let me.
Ant also teased an announcement of having signed a cohost for his show. I'm sure it's not Opie but I bet he got a lot of people's hopes up.

As much as I find Anthony to be a poo poo I kind of enjoyed him being back on there today.

Real talk: why would anyone want anything to do with Opie (in terms of fans who want the boys to be together again)? I'm not trying to stir a flame war (though I openly don't like him) but I don't know what exactly is marketable about him other than paying folks to be on his show.

I'm not sure if them re-uniting off platform would even work if they put their differences behind them unless they had Jimmy / the cadre of comedians he came up with, many of whom are too famous for even the official SiriumXM show at this point.

I mean I'd probably listen if it happened just for nostalgia and to see how it went, but I suspect it would fall apart in short order. Also I'm not giving money to a Nazi directly -- it was one thing when he was just a crank employed by this conglomerate with diverse viewpoints but lol otherwise.

I hope Opie is right and they work out a deal where Ant gets to come on Jim and Sam from time to time. If he's not in every day he's less likely to go into politics and racism. The few minutes I heard today with him and Artie were very fun.

I so want Ant and Jim back together. Skip the politics, just focus on the weird movie and TV poo poo mixed with childish humor. That works SO loving well.

Yeah, that was a long time coming. Remember how Opie used to think that being on Sirius XM counted as 'New York Market' and held it over everybody's heads in radio during Jocktober? That was always insufferable even if there was a little truth in it, but holy poo poo.

Good on Denny, he's always awesome.

I like how the whole video is the living example of 'sour grapes, no those grapes just weren't sweet and the people in the building who are still my friends tell me --' bullshit. Opie just can't stand that he has nobody backing him and his got tossed out for being a toxic nitwit and now probably will never work in radio again because the last thing the industry needs now is some disc jockey with a personality disorder.

You can do a lot of poo poo if you're friendly. But being a dick means they're just looking for reasons to ditch you and they will find them.

Opie always needed someone he saw as weaker than him that he could treat like poo poo as a 'joke'. Vos, Denny, and Erock always seemed like his prime targets.

Did Vos do Opie's show much?

The greatest thing is going to be when Opie realizes he's unemployable in traditional radio outside of spinning records at some local station with no syndication and he finally accepts Anthony's lowball offer. Ant is smart enough to know that a certain number of people will listen to a reformed O&A on his platform, and he's vindictive enough to use that as a vehicle to lord his position of power over Opie.

A normal person with a passion for the industry would just say "gently caress, I'm a millionaire and I can do this on a small scale for the love of the game" like some ex-pro athlete that coaches a high school team but Opie isn't normal and he's no doubt going to be taken advantage of somehow.

This podcast would be great at like 30 minutes.

My group of friends has a hanger-on who is just like... the worst case of Fear Of Missing Out you've ever seen. Laugh at a joke within earshot of him, and he'll run over demanding to know what you're laughing at so he can laugh along too. Talk about a fun little app, and he's got to download it and you're going to show him how to use it. I mentioned Twitter, and he immediately created an account, followed me, and then most of the people I follow.

So the other night, we were talking about podcasts, and he of course wanted to know what we listen to. I told him about this really funny podcast with a WILD host who's always cracking jokes and playing pranks and stuff.

Haven't run into him since then, but I'm at least 95% sure he's listening to the Chip Chipperson Podacast, and taking the whole thing at face value and without a trace of irony.

"Can't wait for more announcements about how bad our show is being made in front of a hot-dog truck to 9 people". Holy poo poo, Jim.

Also, the first time Ant rang in to The Opie and Jim Show he was left on hold for 20 minutes and then hung up on without Jim even knowing he had called.
