Poll: If your co-worker (who you caught calling you a "cunt" behind your back) got Fired... Would you walk out on the job to defend him?

[guest]

Well, yes, I guess I would. If I were a guy who brought someone else into the business who made both of us famous, and I did my own part, by setting them up with awesome bits by having incredible producers and setting up an environment in which they could be funny, and I understood that I would not be funny without them, and we needed each other to survive, yes, I would walk out on the job and start a new show with them. Jimmy and Opie should’ve left immediately and started a new network with Anthony.

If they had, might’ve created something really incredible at a time when we needed free speech at a time when we needed people saying things that are unpopular.

Can you imagine if they had started some kind of new show branded around free-speech? Everyone today is dying for free speech to the point that they think people like Joe Rogan are actually important. Joe Rogan is OK, but the message he represents is way bigger than he is. He gets to say shit that other people don’t want him to say and through that, he is popular. Can you imagine if Opie and Anthony and Jim broke off all together and started a new platform, maybe a podcast, predicated on the importance of free speech? Predicated on the very simple idea of just being funny? They could’ve done something special but Opie and Jim decided to be faggots and Anthony decided to be an even bigger faggot and none of this ever came together.

For as gay as all of these guys have become in the recent years, I don’t think for a second that they could not have done something special had they decided to unite together and done something which would’ve been, at that time, nee and revolutionary.

Look at the success of cumtown.

Almost everything they say is controversial and cancelable, even when they don’t mean it.

Just by being funny and saying anything they want to say, they have a big following among the right and among the left.

Those guys are even liberal fruits and socialists, now imagine what Opie and Anthony and Jim could’ve accomplished being middle of the road guys just trying to be funny.

Saying whatever they wanted to say, the same way Cumtown does. They blew an opportunity that will never come by again. Well, I guess it could if they decided to be men and stop being faggots and reunite and do something special. None of them are good on their own, but all of them together were special. They could do that again if they really wanted to, even if they are old and washed up, because that’s how bad media is right now. Even these guys could probably put together a show, or a podcast, that would do really good numbers. They really could.
If they all decided tomorrow to stop being faggots, Most of the people who hate them now would stop hating them or at least stop hating them enough to at listen.

Come on, admit it. If the three of them got back together tomorrow and started doing material that was dark, and what would be considered racist, or homophobic, evil, or non-woke, you would listen. You know you would. You absolutely know you would.

Yeah but he still sucked on the air and ruined great bits with his HOLD ON HOLD ON shit and the callers. Ant and Jim as a team carried the show.

Ohhh you poor sweet opie obsessed baby child ... you know noTHing about how a radio show works

Ohhh you poor sweet opie obsessed baby child ... you know noTHing about how a radio show works

You may be kidding, but it’s absolutely true. Opie knew how to sell the show to new listeners. For better or for worse. He knew how to sell it to people who were used to regular radio and were adjusting to the style of Opie and Anthony. The show grew exponentially when he had a hand on breaking in new listeners, even with shitty bits, because new listeners thought they were outrageous and edgy. He knew how to sell the show to people who had a less sophisticated sense of humor than Anthony and Jim, which didn’t really turn out to be all that sophisticated after all.

He knew how to run things behind the scenes, he knew how to hire good producers, and those good producers constantly provided excellent content for Jimmy and Anthony to riff on and make jokes out of. He was really good at creating the “us versus them“ mentality that helped them grow. Look at all the times they got into a feud with another radio host, and it elicited more loyalty to Opie and Anthony as a brand.

That was by design.

How else do you explain the fact that neither Jimmy or Anthony have been funny since they parted from Opie? And haven’t been able to build up an audience?

Look at Anthony’s attempt to re-create Jocktober. It was flat and unfunny. He didn’t have producers provided by Opie to procure good audio, Anthony didn’t have an environment in which he could be funny, even when Jimmy was involved, Anthony’s attempts at Jocktober were entirely flat and unfunny. How do you fuck up Jocktober? The easiest bit in the world (created by Opie)? It should be a walk at the park, but Anthony and come to some extent, Jimmy, fucked it up on the Anthony show. Without Opie.

Honestly? How do you fuck that up? It’s because they didn’t have the environment that Opie created for them. And by the way, Jocktober was his idea. Making fun of themselves at the end of every Jocktober, some of the funniest stuff they’ve ever done, was his idea.

He’s an unfunny douche who is hard to work with. And? So what? That’s like saying your general manager who put together an incredible roster year after year and put you in the playoffs year after year is unlikable and a cock. So what?

Opie had his place, it wasn’t being funny, it wasn’t being the funniest guy in the room, it wasn’t cracking the best jokes, it was creating the environment in which the other guys who were creative could be absolutely funny all the time.

He knew that. He created that. He brought them into that environment. He helped create a studio environment in which producers and repeat guests could help his main compatriots be funny.



How can anyone deny it? It worked for years upon years.

For as shitty as he is, they have been worthless without him. Worthless. What, you think the Anthony show is funny? Jim and Sam? By the way, Sam, for as much as people hate him, absolutely carries that show. The few times I’ve listened, all of the good content was brought to the show by Sam, and not by Jim. Sam knows how to be a producer.

What, does anyone think chip is funny? Or that Jim alone is funny? Of course not!

And, one other thing, Opie did what Stavros did for Cumtown. All those times Stavros tried to reel in Nick and try to stop him from saying something racist, he was accentuating what Nick was doing. He was drawing attention to how racist it was, how fun it was, by objecting. He made it funnier that Nick could simply use the letter N to make a joke. By punctuating how racist it was, he played up what Nick was doing. Made it funnier, made it more outrageous.


Opie constantly accentuated what Anthony and Jimmy were trying to do by objecting/pretending to object, to accentuate how edgy they were being. People keep saying that he tried to reign them in, that he tried to stop them, but he was actually accentuating how funny they were. He knew that. He took the blame for it. Because he was producing a good show.

Opie is an unfunny douche bag who is hard to work with. But he made them funnier. Every single fucking day.

That’s why they haven’t been nearly as funny without him, even when they are together.

Prison guard: I am going to throw Blade off this roof.
Patrice as Wesley Snipes: Wait i know a lot about taxes.
Opie: Ok we have to move on. Let's go to the phones.

You okay there slugger? A little on edge about the gen con terror? Take a breath, I have it on good authority that there will be a 7 foot tall trans person there who can walk you from place to place. Very likely he will escort you back to the hotel in his trunk. Everything will be fine, child.

I really wish Opie was more machiavellian...fuckin dumbass could bury Nana but he doesnt for some reason.

The more things change the more they stay the saaaaaaaame

We're a little bit older but we aint much wiser

Pretty sure it’d be a mutual destruction thing. I have an old partner I dislike but we did a few things together that I’d prefer stay in the past.

 

[MunchausenByProxy]

I would but it be a uhhh...a whatever effort *sniff*

 

[DMAN]

Alex Jones on Piers Morgan was hilarious. He challenged him to a boxing match or something. Alex said he would wear the stars and stripes and Piers can wear the Jolly Roger.

Yes, I can speak in this accent as well... Gawvuments have staged Terrah attacks throughout histrah, as a pretext to invade and enslave the puppulation. I probably own over maw than 50 firearms. Many of them have increased in value maybe 2, 3, or even Fawh times.

GO BACK TO WHERE THEY TOOK THE GUNS IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT

 

[DMAN]

Opie and Jim decided to be faggots and Anthony decided to be an even bigger faggot and none of this ever came together.

I agree with your post except this shit about Opie and Jim who had real jobs at real studios with real guests. No they're not going to break a damn contract that clearly has valid clauses and repercussions to go be naughty in Anthony's motherfucking residential basement.

Anthony probably got the studio in the city because he found out it's illegal to permanently 'broadcast' from residential zones professionally.

I'm not johnny law and frankly from that comment neither are you. The reason for Anthony's termination might not be good enough for us, but it was. Idk if they paid out his contract or any of the details, but I do know that you do not literally walkout on your contract and expect to not have your small beans lawyers and bank account metaphorically raped at gunpoint to go and play radio in the basement at the devious house on haunted hill kept by the gun nut vampire from work who obviously hates your guts.

The least they should have done was give Anthony a chance to make them a pitch that following contract negotiation if he even had the NYC studios ready in time... I'll at least say in Anthony's favor that Opie and Jim re-signing with Sirius was the death knell for all their reputations...

Come on, admit it. If the three of them got back together tomorrow and started doing material that was dark, and what would be considered racist, or homophobic, evil, or non-woke, you would listen. You know you would. You absolutely know you would.

I have always said the Trump era would have gone down a lot differently if the show had sustained. Even podcasting industry's popularity would have sped up dramatically.

Safe to say anyone here would at the very least give them a clean slate listen. And those who deny it should be banned immediately for high treason dishonesty.

If Opie had taken one of Anthony's bad deal offers, Sure, every idiot on here would flock to it and drop posts about That Patrick guy, as they should.

If Beavis and Butthead can find it within themselves to mend fences then so can O&A. I believe the forum should drop the Pathetic posting and focus on reuniting them to at least talk and come to one of their famous agree to disagreements.

 

[DieNortonDie]

The other thing that must be brought up every single time is the fact that Nana would broadcast with his girlfriend sitting on his lap like he was at a middle school party. I think it was the one who blew that guy for the lobster.

She’s ugly too

Never, I never want that to happen because then nana wouldn't finish going broke and dying alone. That is far more entertaining than anything those 3 could put together in their 60s.

 

[Phish]

No i have s family to feed. Fuck your crusade

 

[Torque Army]

I never looked at it that way before. Opie kind of sucks but at least he's not nig-obsessed to a boring degree like his former nig co-host hungry Nana. You cannot deny the luscious mammaries but Nana will never taste them again.

 

[Torque Army]

I was recently informed by my spies (i have people on the onaforums) Spy Report. Spy Report. that Danny Ross was fired at the same time this fight occurred. This iconic tornado of a meangirl event struck all at once.

Anthony walked into work like a poor man's costanza pretending his "I'm being treated like a common N1@@$%" tweets never happened. Tough talking Tony got to TYPING AWAY on his little hugbox device again, to his little faggot worm co-dependent. "The little cunt won't even look at me."

As if to say -- I just badmouthed this guy's family restaurant, I've been subverting his authority when he's not around, and he knows it, and he's letting me get away with it. Look, Jim Norton! I did all of this on purpose because you and I, Jim Norton, we both hate him, and we torture him deliberately to break his spirit and make him react. But he, that little CUNT, he won't even LOOK at me!!! Shit, I wonder why he acts so weird around us?"

Opie is a saint simply for the fact that he didn't trample that snake where he sat perched and afraid of people walking behind his chair. Cowardly little faggot, and that hen Norton who should be on trial for raping that drunk child at XM studios in NYC on November 24, 2004 which NYPD were called out and witnessed. That's on record. We have the documents.

sorry about that previous post where I said nig a bunch of times. no disrespect mr that nigga dre

 

[medium wyzzz]

My condolences on your recent diagnosis of Opie Derangement Syndrome

Damn. That’s even sadder than TDS. Ol tanjewrine is just playin the numbers for his rich friends and confidants, and that’s all a side effect of the rich putting on the grand show. Opie just had one of the shittiest, shiftiest co-workers in the history of radio, and then he used his bullshit and lies to get his Braincellless terror squad to pester Opie.

 

[medium wyzzz]

It’s kinda like having a swarm of those fish fly fuckers out side your house. You could ignore them but after a while you’re gonna get pissed off.
