So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.



there is something truly lovely at how o&a's saga has turned out after 25 years. they used to be on the top of their game, competing with stern, being national radio, a household name, people looked up to them. I used to listen to them in high school and they seemed cool and a good radio show.

in college they used to have a whole bunch of really good comedians drop it and have really funny conversations, they had good taste and ran in respected circles of the comedy world.

flash forward to today and the only people who remember them are the fans, who have turned against them with extreme prejudice.

they'll likely finish off what careers they have left by being known as "that sad white supremacist pedophile", and "who is that?".

meanwhile jim norton is still a popular comedian, sam has a radio show, and stern is at perhaps the peak of his career and likely doesn't remember they exist.

After listening to about 10 hours of the 12 hour Patrice on Movies YouTube compilation, there might not be anything funnier than listening to Norton and Patrice talk about Vice Squad.

Shut up DUMMY
Norton is a terrible comic. He is only popular because O&A fans show up at his shows. He would be nothing without being the third mic on their show. He is good at riffing on a radio show though but after awhile you realize 90% of his jokes fall into two categories and they are rephrased jokes that he's used countless times.

The same can be said about some other comedians still pulling enough people to do shows because of their O&A days of sitting in on the show. (Bob Kelly, Rich Vos)

Case closed.

Ant spent twenty years in the radio business and apparently the only person he could find to run his podcast network is the incompetent ex-cop who does his laundry.

It's important that they planted drugs on a young black man first and that they can run a podcast second.

What's weird is that I think Vos is the only actually funny stand-up out of these three

Kinda but he also provided some steering impulses that Ant and Jim don't have. Also Opie was able to be an rear end in a top hat in a way that the other two were too big of worms to be other than over the phone. He had his own bits during the WNEW era (I remember Guess the Taint) but less so once they came to satellite.

I was expecting that either Artie had snuffed it or Ant had come out as a full(er) on nazi, but I guess not.

That said though, I recently discovered the “Laugh Your Tears Away” track from Dru Boogie and it’s pretty goddamn awesome.
