Since the Audible contract expired I've been listening to Bennington on the Sirius App. I initially signed up for the trial 2 weeks ago and was going to subscribe once the trial finished but I still have access to everything. How long does the trial last? And what is the cheapest sub I can get without having a radio? I just want to use the App on my iPhone, I'm not buying any hardware.

I can tell you this about Bennington, Ron is an insufferable moody prick when Gail isn't around to balance him out. She wasn't in today and the first half of today's show was nigh unlistenable. Nigh I say.

Care to say what gets him moody? Politics? Bad staff? Terrible opinions from callers?

I think it's just doing the show by himself. Chris and Vito couldn't do anything right according to him, anything anyone said wasn't the answer to his question, and every topic they discussed his hot take was "this is stupid". It reminded me of latter day Ron & Fez when he'd get sick of carrying the show and just make everyone else miserable since he was.

A warning if you plan on listening to today's Bennington show: when a lady calls in and says, "Can i read something to you that i wrote?" just turn off the show at that point. If you don't it's your own fault for listening; I warned you fucktard.

Opie: "________, or is it pronounced ________? Some people say ________, while others say ________"

No Opie, there is only one way to pronounce the word. It's the second one. You just don't know how to pronounce it so you're guessing and everyone looked at you weird when you first said it. That poo poo used to annoy me about Opie even before he became dead weight.

I've tried to go back and listen to some of the old Fez meltdowns, but having listened to them all when they originally aired, I just can't do it. It's so frustrating and infuriating to me that i can't get more than a minute in without shutting them off.

This.

He'll probably kill himself when he gets sentenced, or at least try to again. There's no way that big guinea mama's boy will show up to court and face the music. He'll pussy out and try to end up in the hospital or a psych ward rather than do any time.

So is Bennington on Audible? Cause I had a free Audible month but gently caress if I can find anything that isn't 4 years old or more.

Not anymore. The audible deal was with XM, so it stuck around post-merger but stopped a few years ago once the contract was up. I have an Audible sub and used to listen to Bennington through that, but now I have a SiriusXM online sub.I pretty much only listen to Bennginton, You Up with Nikki Glaser, and First Wave. It's still worth the $9 per month.

I feel lucky compared to most of you; I stopped listening to O&A in 2011, so I feel like I got out just in time to not have to endure the worst of it. I'd had enough of racist Anthony so I started fast forwarding his rants, and what I was left with to listen to from Opie and Jim wasn't funny at all so I bailed. I've enjoyed watching everyone else turn their backs on the show over the years, so they still gave me that entertainment at least.

As I've gotten older Bennington is more my speed. I genuinely enjoy the Ron and Gail dynamic after years of insane Fez.

Louie's not a dangerous predator like matt lauer, cosby or weistein he's a creepy sex pervert with a really pathetic fetish that made him look like a huge loser lol he'll be back in the same way Letterman came back

That's probably why Jim has disassociated from him and poo poo on him so much: because being a creepy sex pervert with a pathetic fetish is how Jim sees himself and he has so much self loathing he can't have any empathy for Louis. It doesn't have much to do with Louis, it has a lot more to do with Jim.

I'm out of date, then. I thought he was only in the first episode of the first season, but apparently he was in the second that just aired as well.

His storyline is basically the real Artie: he's a junkie that is unreliable and comes in and out of Pete's life from time to time. He's been in a bunch of episodes and has been a significant part of Pete's arc as a couch-surfing comedian.

(what'd he do this time lmfao)

Twitter is going after users that have been suspended before, but created other accounts to get around the suspension. Twitter is now trying to permaban them since circumventing a suspension (whether it is a week, month, or permanent) is against their terms of service. AnthonyCumiaCM has been banned but Ant still has his Corrado Soprano gimmick account that he's using to bitch about Twitter policy. The O&A subreddit is trying to get that one banned too.

Anthony is going to go insane from this. He'll do anything so he doesn't have to be alone with his own thoughts. He even sleeps with the tv on so he doesn't have to be self-reflective, he's said so before. I predict a bullet in the head soon for Nana Cumia.
