You know what I think is funny? How loving incompetent and dumb E-rock is. He chose to stay with Opie instead of go with Jim and Sam and now he's hosed.

I dunno, they could probably take him on and get rid of some dead weight

Opie went into best-of today because he couldn't find anyone to do the show with. In radio since he was 18 yet can't do a show by himself.

https://twitter.com/OpieRadio/status/841688675092160512

more importantly he thinks so little of Erock, even after all these years, and doing his own podcast, that he won't do a show with him lol

Opie's show isn't bad, but I like Vic, Sharad Small, and the Mad Cuban who seem like they are on the show near every day. If I didn't find those three listenable I probably wouldn't be able to listen. Also, the show is way too self-congratulatory and stuck up about itself.

Yeah those three carry it enough that I don't turn it off in the car unless it's mostly Opie or some boring rear end other guest. But I don't actively seek out any of the shows anymore which begs the question why the hell I still pay for it

The gently caress does Opie need an office for anyway? The only prep he's ever mentioned doing himself is watching or reading poo poo which he does in his comfy apartment while being A Father.

Definitely don't need an office to do the current show, which is "a bunch of guys just shoot the poo poo randomly and laugh at each other's jokes"

I never listened to O and A, but after picking up an insanely long commute I've been listening to Opie and really enjoyed it. I also unironically enjoy the chef Carl. I'm disappointed with the circumstances but I suppose I'm the only one.

I can't stand Norton's Show.

I can't stand Norton's Show either, luckily Sam doesn't let him do it that often. Jim still purposely drags the show energy down on random occasions whenever he can get away with it but Sam is wise to it. If there's a guest, even a comic, that's usually enough to get him to loving cut it out. I think even Jim himself has gotten kind of bored with doing that but it's become a bad habit after doing it for so many months since Anthony got the boot. His constant need to put on the brakes as a "gag" was a very rare occasional experiment before then and I think it secretly drove Opie's OCD off the charts.

Opie's show had some moments before the meltdown, but in the weeks leading up to that it was mostly a bunch of guys just overselling how happy they were to be there. On the plus side, that often dragged things into an interesting tangent that Opie wouldn't normally allow, but on the minus side Opie was starting to get accustomed to the extreme energy level and getting to exercise his control freak side even during some of those parts.

I don't know how it got to this point but I've been finding Ellis more entertaining than those two shows. It's utterly juvenile and he's quite clueless about everything but at least they honestly seem to be having fun. I gave Covino&Rich an hour on two separate occasions and it was like white noise to me. I like DiPaulo as a guest but I think he still seems a bit stiff in the radio format.

ps. Your Mom's Box

Covino and Rich is unlistenable to me. Like straight up triggers my Morning Zoo reflexes and I shut it off quickly every attempt. Nick DiPaolo can talk but he's been spending too much time taking calls from people saying how great he is and how amazing his guinea politics are so it's usually hard for me to stick with it. That sounds hypocritical after decades of Anthony but that greaseball was better at making his hate entertaining. Ellis is a fuckhead but he's extremely open about that and manages to mostly keep poo poo moving.

When I first got into the show, I never really paid attention to Opie save for when he was directing: Moving onto other bits or stories and stuff. He never really bothered me until he started getting obsessed with "VIRAL VIDEOS" and trying to generate hype. Interrupt people, pull the brakes on the show's flow, fight back against the "haters". Soon his annoying nature became retroactively annoying, and I'd notice his HOLDONHOLDONs and his uncomfortable bombs from earlier shows, and I realized that he was always this much of a shitheel, I just didn't notice it while Norton & Friends were making me giggle. Opie has had the occasional one liner, and I think earlier on there was an energy when he cared more about making a good show for the day rather than try to build up to The Next Big Thing (Baby Bird, Mustard, We Are The World, etc).

Seconding all that too. His best days were always when he just set the table, maybe gave an opinion to leap from, and got the gently caress out of the way. Of course he wasn't the only one who didn't entirely get what made them popular; just remember all of the best-of marathons where they played celebrity interviews instead of whatever actually funny riffs went down recently. I ended up loading Ron and Fez best ofs exclusively on car trips because they would at least put in a funny bit between some of the Unmaskeds.

Enjoyed hearing Ellis give the worst reading of that movie promo SXM is running across all channels right now. After being tired from hearing it repeatedly from every different show and channel it was great to hear them take the piss out of it for a moment.

That's fine with me, he shouldn't be expected to pretend he enjoys Sherri's Berries or Pajamagrams or whatever the gently caress it is that SXM is shotgun-shilling without any care for the target. poo poo, most of the ads on Faction Talk are the kind of garbage that runs at 3 AM on the TV because they will take an ad spot anywhere if it's cheap. I'm never going to blame the host of a show for the utter failure of the network they're on to put in any effort.

Now go ahead and blame Anthony though cause he made his own drat network.

Yeah the Jim only shows are painful, his own OCD kicks in big time and he flails around unless someone else is in the studio for rapport. It's the same reason I can't listen to Nick Dipaolo's show (besides the giant amount of time he wastes taking calls stroking his ego). Nick actually shuts up his flunky if they so much as peep too.
