I wonder where they're going to be for two weeks.
Holy poo poo, October finally arrived.

And all it took was reclaiming the salary of two of their talent.

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

I don't. At the end, it was nothing but misery with him. He needs to figure out his life in very serious terms because he wasn't in a good enough place to continue doing radio. And while the flipouts were funny in many ways, it wasn't funny all the time. The Bennington show makes me laugh and I can enjoy listening for a while. But Fez....at the end, even with the BL stuff, was just bringing me down.
Yeah, I didn't mind Ron poking the beehive because Ron is good at it, but when Fez kept lashing out at basically everyone else ever for everything I just wanted to slap him.

Boo. Norton characters are the #1 best thing on O&J. Hell, going back to the anti-Sam comment, he's at least not loving Opie. Sam is better at talk than the namesake of the poo poo show.
It's about 50/50 with me these days whether I will laugh at a Norton character or just want to punch him. But I know the fucker knows what he's doing when he completely wrecks the flow, so I don't mind it. Opie, on the other hand, I'm not sure he's even trainable at this point. Remembering about the instant feedback reminded me that he's been slamming on the brakes for nothing for decades now. Even Sam has a better loving sense for that, even though he fucks it up by taking annoying lovely callers.

You bitch about wanting other people to do poo poo and then you get a Howard size console to do your poo poo while everyone else is crammed together. gently caress's sake, Opie. Now I think I understand why they couldn't get the new studio done until they fired Anthony. No way he would have signed off on that layout.

Yeah, I pay SXM through the nose and I still like to listen to the YouTube clips because people have found and saved the good stuff, which SXM is apparently utterly incapable of doing. Instead we get a poo poo web app and poo poo phone app with even shorter On Demand retention rates and broken crap all over, and then lawyers firing DMCAs everywhere while not even asking their own shows for input.

And then they probably wonder why people are dropping ship and they have to raise the rates again.

It's funny that O&J has so few listeners that the rumor was able to gain traction in every O&A community.
They must be desperate for something to happen, because anyone who's listened for a long while should know that Sam would always say things just right to stir poo poo up without catching any poo poo himself. Would have been more believable if they said Erock did it while chewing on a hoagie.

I haven't listened to O&A since a year before Ant left and only really keep up with them via this thread, but I heard Jim Norton on Nerdist this weekend. He was awful. He spent the entire time talking about freedom of speech, Ant's firing, and then chess. His standup has always sucked compared to his on-air riffing with Ant and other comedians (Opie excluded). If Jimmy would have left O&A around the time of Lucky Louie he might have had some new experiences to add to his act but instead he stays in his sex addiction bubble and refuses to listen to any other comedy because he's afraid it might "influence his act." If only. He's loving stagnant and hasn't done anything interesting in 10 years.
Weird, I caught his set in Nashville this year and I loved it. It wasn't at all like the set I heard many years ago back in Cleveland. Sorry you got a lovely one.

Also holy poo poo Jim keeps increasing the "random annoyance" factor on O&J, it's seriously even driving me crazy now and I have an unreasonable tolerance for silliness
