My favourite thing about listening to the old shows is when Anthony gets so excited about having an army of pests who are completely insane and never quit no matter what.

One of them had to figure “The Pests” would eventually turn on them.

I think Opie actually said that a few times
1 George_W_Kush_911 2019-06-25
They probably could have avoided it, if they weren’t such assholes. Point of no return was probably doing jocktober year after year. You can’t build up that much negative karma without it coming back to you.

Opie said it a bunch of times. He always knew.
1 TheElDan 2019-06-25
It’s probably why he doesn’t say shit about this place now. He’s a grown man, he knows when to just take his hits and move on, unlike the Cumia babies.

Anthony’s recent assessment of Opie is incredibly fair. Opie is trying to wipe the stench of the last 25 years off of him, a lot like Howard has tried to rebrand himself. He wants to have it both ways though, Opie wants to be recognized as a celebrity and all the perks that come with it and none of the baggage that being “Opie” from Opie and Anthony came with. Howard has to a certain extent been successful but at a cost. I know a lot of Stern fans who don’t listen anymore because he changed. Opie also didn’t have SXM or the team behind him to successfully rebrand him.
The only people who actually depend on the Opie and Anthony brand are Jim and Sam, and maybe Joe. Let’s be honest Jim and Sam don’t really have an audience, so they have to depend on what’s left of the Opie and Anthony audience that’s too stupid or lazy to cancel their subscription and look for the million other better podcasts out there.
Though Opie may know better than anyone else, this place can turn on you in an instant, which is why he probably doesn’t mention this place or visit.

This is so retarded. He’s trying to ‘wipe the stench of 25 years off of him’ because he doesn’t give a shit about it anymore? Is Ant somehow noble by obsessing over Opie and always going back to the past? What do you expect him to do? Hand out WoW bumper stickers?
1 RoeRoeRoeYourJoe 2019-06-25
Some fair points on the rebranding but 90% of the reason Opie needs to rebrand himself is because of Anthony's racism. Opie is 100% right when he mopes about Anthony's racism destroying the O&A brand. O&A will actually continue to grow because of YouTube, assuming it doesn't go anywhere, but will they ever be able to get a mainstream platform again even if they could/wanted to? No. Because Anthony is devout racist. It is easier to be an employer of Artie fucking Lange in 2019 than Anthony Cumia. No one cares about the drug addict anymore. But racism in 2019? You're fucked.
They gave up on "bits" and being "shock jocks" only to walk away being considered racists. Mancow is employed, somewhere, despite being fucking Mancow. But if he started tweeting "nigger" - game over. Good job destroying an infamous radio brand ya pockmarked pedo.
1 Neg-Crepe 2019-06-25
Opie and Howard used racist guys like Artie and Ant to attract the same base that got Trump elected. You'll never know what Opie and Howard's actual values are besides their next buck, because they won't commit to a side if the tide might turn a few years down the line.
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-25
Yeah during the Jim Philipps saga Opie mentioned it multiple times.
1 LeBaronpencil 2019-06-25
He definitely mentioned it on the Scorch PFG where the sidekick squealed out "1980!!!" And "A RITE AID!!!"

Everything is much funnier with hindsight. Some people maybe bought in to Ant's bullshit and find it hard to relisten, but I love knowing I was vindicated in my assessment of the little fucker.

1 PhillyBuckeye 2019-06-25
Always found the “Pests” cringey as fuck. The fact that some of them had pest business cards gives me douche chills. Btw fuck Dugout Dave.
1 GinFoss 2019-06-25
i don't mind it as a nickname but yes business cards... disgusting
and the people that took it too seriously
"i'm general third class of the pest marine recon forces"
ugh
1 Single_Action_Army 2019-06-25
Leave them be. It's all they had.
You forget these guys had to be on the road 18 hours a day and just wanted to have a sense of community and comrodery after killing a hooker.
1 tutoredzeus 2019-06-25
It’s camaraderie, stupid.
1 Single_Action_Army 2019-06-25
Google it. Both valid, stupid.
1 PeeSoup3030 2019-06-25
I prefer your less French looking version
1 Jung_Skywalker 2019-06-25
No the closest retarded but still valid spelling is comradery, you dunderhead.

I seem to remember that some subgroups were formed like POW: Pests Out West

Nana was proud to have dugout Doug and Fonner on his side when they could attack people for him.

Don’t forget Big Ass Member. Was removed from the show for leading a fuck free fm chant at the Halloween show.
1 SpaceEdgesDom 2019-06-25
do u think he regrets it now? heheheheh
1 GinFoss 2019-06-25
how did they think this wasn't going to turn against them someday?
1 daveyistheman 2019-06-25
If Ant would just put out some good free content with Jimmy and tried to patch things up with Opie, he wouldn't get nearly as much hate as he does. I just don't get how an individual can have so little self awareness.
1 Single_Action_Army 2019-06-25
Ant repeatedly spited his true fans, assuming just because Fred from Brooklyn and Bayshore ducked his dick on twitter that he still had a fanbase. He thought that people genuinely liked him, Anthony, and not just the funny radio shit he did.
Jimmy shitting on Opie was funny even though it's passive aggressive as fuck. Opie was a little pussy bitch during O and J. Jim was always wormy but people overlooked that because he was funny and catered to his audience. In the last few years, he's gone SJW in his shapeshifting hopes to get shitty Hollywood acknowledgement, and revealed he was a faggot worm all along.
1 polybiastrogender 2019-06-25
I don't notice Jimmy going PC, anyone have good sources?
1 Single_Action_Army 2019-06-25
No, because I do my best to avoid him, but he suckles onto all these movements like MeToo unquestioningly, even so far as to toss Louie under the bus for some sjw sheckels. He also has talked on J&S about hoe certain things aren't okay to joke about.
1 daveyistheman 2019-06-25
I'm with you, I don't think he has gone PC really. However, it was really shitty of him to throw Louis CK under the bus like he did.
1 polybiastrogender 2019-06-25
I didn't like that either. Especially if you put it in perspective, black balled Louie just springboarded Luis J Gomez career. Poor Jimmy just doesn't know any better.
1 late_50s_why 2019-06-25
it was never funny how he shit on opie, hes doing baby voices and its garbage
1 Single_Action_Army 2019-06-25
The quote is "baby noises," kiss-ass faggot.
1 Baracklyn_Cyclonez 2019-06-25
He groomed someone who he thought was 14. Fuck him.
1 tjdon 2019-06-25
Which one of you is sapper pest or cunning linguist? You can admit it now.
1 telemecanique 2019-06-25
I love when they allude to the idea that we may one day turn on them, foreshadowing brings so much joy to my heart. God bless.

The arc of the universe is long but it bends toward Feed Nana.
