Dan Soder super guest?

146  2014-06-17 by heytheretim

Dan Soder consistently kills on the show. His analogies and observations are spot on. Finally a guy to do impressions with Anthony. Plus he has the radio backround that Opie loves. I make the case for "Dan Soder Super Guest".

Soder is 10X more entertaining than anyone Roland has put on the show.

Just reminds me of the time when the show was all comics, musicians, and naked girls testing out the whiffle ball bat. No celebrity interviews and the show was great.

The boys keep saying they don't want to do too many celebrity interviews, and I'm sure they turn down more than a few, but it's still a big part of the current form of the show.

Love Dan Soder and hope they feature him more. I tune into O&A to laugh and escape...not hear Fox News-shilling political rants.

dan's appearance is just reminder that a good comedian joining or sitting in for norden increases the entertainment value ten-fold

Not comparing them as stand-ups, but I think Soder shows are must listen - like Attell shows

Soder is more entertaining. And before anyone says "Purple suit and giant coffin", go fuck yourself. Its been 3 years and I'm tired of that being the only reference to anything funny Attell's done on this show.

I thought that joke was pretty easy. I have yet to understand why people find Atell so funny, yet he isn't so unfunny as to find irritating. IMO

Attell is great every appearance.

I love when Soder is on o&a and Ron and fez.....he always has something to talk about and his African voice killed me today

the african accent was fucking spot on.

I want to hear him and Nairobi Jimmy riffing with each other.

"I cannot eat if I see a little girl with a clit" I need more African Dan Soder!

fuck that, he should be super 3rd mic. I'm so tired of Norton

I like Norton and think hes really funny, but while Soder and Ant were riffing endlessly I couldn't help but think "I wonder if Jimmy would've ruined this with Chip or one of his go to angles."

jimmy has funny standup, and funny moments sure... but i'm tired of him. His characters are no longer funny, his rants have gotten very repititious, he is just tiresome as 3rd mic. Yesterday Ant seemed to be having fun in a way that I havent heard in years. There was an energy that brought me back to the WNEW days

i'm still a big fan of Jimmy, but you're right. I heard something different yesterday that I haven't heard in a long time. I always though Soder had good chemistry in there, but yesterday was one of the funniest shows I've heard since Patrice died.

I think having more comics in there more frequently would elevate Yimmy's game.

Jimmy doesnt care anymore. He is clearly trying to pivot off to something else at this point. He doesnt feel well compensated or respected at Sirius.

Soder is a much better guest than Voss

Fuck y'all. Vaas for life.

If it were just Ant Soder and Yimmy the show would be GOAT

but who would stop all the fun and explain-rape everything?

Thats like saying "Cake is better to eat than shit."

Let's just agree to disagree on that.

I could go for Vos being in too though. They need to have more comedians in period.

Paris Hilton is a better guest than Vos. Funnier too.

But why have a funny comic on the show all the time when you've got Bob Kelley, Vos and the now unemployed Joe De Rosa?

I do miss Joey Roses.

Because Dan soder travels and doesn't want to be in the show all the time. Its tough to get great comics on the show everyday

Nice showism!

What do you mean by "now unemployed"? Did a project of his fall apart or something?

I believe his show with Pete Holmes got canceled (I could be wrong).

He was writing for the Pete Holmes show, which wasn't renewed; so he's out of a job when that show ends soon.

When I first heard Dan Soder on the show, I hated him because of that annoying voice. But the dude is constantly funny and I finally had to give him his props.

If you listen to Bob Kelleys podcast, Soder is probably the funniest one there.

How can you hear what Dan is saying on Bawbys podcast? Everytime I try to listen there are 30 people all talking over each other

Out of the guys I can hear. Dan is the funniest.

Joe List is funnier imo.

Have to agree, I'll join you with a (-) sign in front of my karma.

Soder is the shit, he is my fave replacement mic/guest, i almost like him more than burr. I never really get tired of ant for some reason, jim get old sometimes.

I was trying not to crack up at work while listening to his African voice.

I actually had to stop what I was doing when I heard his African voice. Amazing show today because of Soder.

The african voice killed!, havent laughed like that in a while

I was losing it at work to soder riffing on pitt bulls being "land alligators" who death roll on toddlers.

When they were talking about the little girls face... I was expecting jimmy to say something serious about these assholes and blah blah blah then Soder comes in with the 6th death shake line. Fucking great

Soder feels like the 2nd coming of Jim Bruer on the show. His chemistry with Anthony today, going toe to toe with coming up with material AND impressions, the guy is awesome.

Fucking spot on. Came here to compare his appearances to the energy of Bruer. And I say energy because that's what it is. He ramps up Ant and they play off each other like Bruer and Ant always did. Even Ant talks about how much he loves Soder coming in. Best comedian guest going right now.

Absolutely. It's what Jimmy should be doing: adding comedy and pushing Ope and Ant to do more and stay out of their usual routine.

It helps he's gotta be 20 years younger than them.

Dan Soder made the apology bit funny. After that, I'm convinced his dulcet tones could cure cancer

He's hilarious. Definitely a great guest. I wish they would get Big Jay on more.

Big Jay still seems to be more comfortable on Ron and Fez. Maybe its because hes just been on there more, I don't know.

They both seem more comfortable with Ron. I love Soder, but I feel like he is almost trying to "outjoke" Cumia while he is there. It is a little exhausting after a while... R&F is more of a stoner hang type vibe. That show breathes. Unfortunately, there is no room for a show to breathe with Opie and Sam on mic.

I think O&A is usually way too early for Big Jay to want to come in.

Yeah, that's what i figured. Plus Ronnie B is the man.

He is an amazing guest. Best show in a while.

Dan Soder and Luis J Gomez kill it on the YKWD podcast. Hopefully the two can make a joint appearance sometime.

Gomez is so fucking obnoxious. he even annoys Bobby on every podcast. Soder and List rule though

Soder was great. Those two breaks with the Pitbull/KFC girl and the Sorrentino reality show were two of the best breaks in a long time. I would love if he consistently filled in while Jimmy was out when he's around.

YKWD has sucked dick since Soder and List left. I listen to Tuesdays with Stories and it's still not as good as YKWD was with both of them. I could seriously listen to Soder trash Louis (fuck the J) Gomez for hours.

He was hilarious but I wish there was some way I could mute Sam's microphone from my audio. I don't need to hear that voice trying to claw its way into every bit.

"If I just laugh really hard after every joke, everyone will know I'm here hanging with my guys"

Looks like Dan was on the post show too. Might have to actually listen.

Soder has been a good replacement I think for a lot of the established guys that have escalated their career and don't come around as frequently. Keep him coming!

2nd'd

I'm a new fan - he was hilarious today. I'd heard the name before, but never really heard him. He's like a low key Breuer!

Go listen to the last time he was on and they spent an hour breaking down the Summer Is Great song.

very funny, I make sure to catch the show live when he is on

Todays show was great!

"pitbulls are land alligators"

And their trigger word is "doggie".

SCIENCE!!!

Arrrwwww! You wanna talk abou science!? Science is everywhere!

Dan Soder is the man. I heard him on Bobby Kelly's podcasts and have been a fan since.

Soder is powerful enough to overcome opie trying to steer the ship into the rocks despite being able to see the lighthouse from miles out.

He's gonna be fucking huge one day..

Today was a little exhausting to listen to. Like a fuckin hummingbird of voices. Between him and Ant with the impressions... god damn. Good show overall. His African voice was really good.

Soder was really damn good, but w/o Opie there to steer the ship into those bits and impressions then none of it wouldn't have happened. Thus, he wouldn't have been that great w/o the Opster.

Agree, soder kills every time

Did anybody else notice that Dan Soders taking the piss/impressions voice sounded a little like Tippy Tom?

yeahhhh i heard some tippy in there. long live tippy tom!

Dan Soder = Tippy Tom ? Oh myyyy....

IT'S A QUAN-SPIRACY...

Dan Soder is the best guest they have right now outside of maybe Vos since Vos getting trashed is always classic.

O&A bring out the best in Soder. He is radio gold!

I came to the conclusion that maybe, just maybe, "the show has passed me by" and decided to listen to a music channel yesterday morning, when I noticed the O&A favorites icon said "Dan Soder". Immediately turned it on during the dog attack discussion.

He absolutely killed, as usual, and the one thing I took away from it is realizing that I haven't heard Anthony laughing that hard or having that much fun with their temporary third mic since Patrice. And it was a real laugh, not his forced "fucked chicken" laugh. You know the one, "caaaaaw caw caw caw caw. Oh, yimmy!"

I was just disappointed that he didn't do Ron & Fez later in the day, like he often does after O&A.

I usually delete shows after I listen to them. I keep anything with Soder. I saved a best of of Ron & Fez with Soder on it. Today's O&A episode will be saved, as well. I like how he doesn't really get in to politics like Ant and Burr do when are together. I'm sure if Burr was in there today he would have defended the whole pit bull thing in some way. It probably would have been great, but damn that shit was HILARIOUS today. Soder kills me. He's up there with Louie, Patrice, and Atell for me as a guest. I hope he's back in tomorrow.

Good point about politics. It can be a quick way to kill comedy, either from soapboxing some ridiculous position or triggering tired rants (or both).

Yep, when these comedians think that we want to hear them talk seriously about politics....its like, "get over yourself." I'm talking to you Yimmy Nordon!

oh hell yeah!

dan soder golden ticket

Dan Soder has great radio comedy chemistry with Ant - I feel they would make legendary bits with both of them in the same room.

Ant and Dan riffing back and forth with impressions was impossible to turn off it was so good.

And they kept coming up with great ideas like instead of apologizing big companies should blame the people demanding apologies.

It made me feel funny about Jimmy not being there, now I have to see how Jimmy and Dan go together. BUt ant was on fire and dan fanned the flames.

I don't like him at all.

I disagree, but up vote for your honesty.

I've not heard much of him but I find him quite good, I really don't get the reverence he attracts from this subreddit though.

I'd agree but he's too nice. A conventional O&A super guest would be a complete asshole. That's why vos always kills. Dan is too much of a yes man. They do like him enough to have him on for 2 hours though. That's the most time a comedian has stayed in a long time i think.

Soder's a different type of asshole. He's one of those types who believes in offending everyone, there are no limits/consequences to free speech, etc. That said, I don't know if he's the type of asshole who can hold his own in a Vos/Bawby/CQ thrashing marathon.

He does pretty well on YKWD, though.

He is funny and entertaining. He doesn't need to be a complete asshole.

Corporate Dan...

I agree. I find he's too agreeable I think he's overvalued just because of the lack of new comedian guests.

He sucks, this thread sucks, opie sucks, you all suck, go fuck yourselves

yeah I don't like a guest, I don't need to like everything on the show. Go die

Man fuck this, I'm downvoting your bitch ass. Enjoy your downvote you punk ass bitch

I agree with your agreement that he is too agreeable.

I think your point about agreeableness could have some merit. He was hilarious because he was agreeing with a very funny Anthony Cumia. That may have made his seem better. But he was going with the flow and adding in good impressions and great lines.

Because Dan soder travels and doesn't want to be in the show all the time. Its tough to get great comics on the show everyday

He does pretty well on YKWD, though.

I do miss Joey Roses.
