What's with the Brother Joe hate?

5  2014-07-11 by [deleted]

I've listened since early 2010 and tuned in daily since Feb 2011, and i never found Brother Joes calls to be irritating. He's kind of the only source we have for inside news about what is going on for us to speculate over, and every comment thread tears him apart. I don't get what's so irritating about him. Anyone have a relevant clip or something that would lead me to dislike the guy?

Anthony got the funny gene while Joe got smooth skin.

Hahaha

I think it was his Facebook post recently. He's OK in small doses on O&A, but it sounds like he wants to be a big part of LFTC...

Joseph Cumia shared a status. 2 hours ago:

Anthony Cumia LFTC "Podcast" won't just be a typical "podcast". It's going to be an "Internet Program", A NEW WORLD IN BROADCASTING DESTINATION. Best described as part reality show, part social commentary, and part scatological humor with no "politically correct agenda or restriction, catering to the most hardcore disenfranchised OnA fans." There will be frequent celeb. guests, sometimes doing more than merely sitting in studio and talking. Imagine a pro-gun control musician, comedian, or actor, who's never fired a gun, coming out to the range with us to shoot the .50 cal Barrett on video...Only one idea folks. These things WILL HAPPEN.

Everything that made old school Opie and Anthony radio popular and entertaining will more than likely be brought back as well, Live from the compound...55gal drum challenge, gallon of milk challenge, wheel of shit, dare I say whiffle ball bat?? only this time there'll be LIVE video (without that foundry mess to navigate) and broadcasting LIVE. Phone calls taken, fans getting airtime . Becoming "THE PEOPLES SHOW" again! What OnA started out as.

I know what you mean by podcasts having the potential to be "boring" and repetitive. that's all being kept in mind and steps are being taken to avoid the "mundane".

IT WILL BE GROUNDBREAKING INTERNET PROGRAMMING FOLKS!

I'll have more to share on my lame podcast, Ustream Monday, after meeting with Anth later today to discuss some programming ideas and logistics. Follow me on twitter, or FB to find out when I'll be 'casting.

Please share this anywhere you'd like!

*THE FUTURE OF "EDGY TALK RADIO" HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "RADIO" ANYMORE...

Yeah, Joe's fine when he occasionally calls in to O&A, but I can't picture him as a cohost and this post was very douche chilly, even if I did like some aspects of it.

I JUST realized he KINDA types like SCORCH!!

And all these e-mails to Scorch... they all type like Sam for some reason!

"politically correct agenda or restriction, catering to the most hardcore disenfranchised OnA fans."-aka cumia super fans, aka Cumia Youth, aka Fat sociopaths.

"Phone calls taken, fans getting airtime . Becoming "THE PEOPLES SHOW" again! What OnA started out as."-lol out of anyone on the show ant disregards the fans more than anyone, he hates taking phones calls.

this show sounds good but you know it will end up being rant after rant after rant, im happy he's free to do his own thing but if its only political then im out.

He needs a partner. Honestly though he needs more than that cause he's been steadily getting worse with time. He's still funny but there's some kind of chip in his shoulder.

What'sssssss that?

"Everything that made old school Opie and Anthony radio popular and entertaining will more than likely be brought back as well, Live from the compound...55gal drum challenge, gallon of milk challenge, wheel of shit, dare I say whiffle ball bat??"

Horrible. All that was absolutely terrible. ITS THE LESBIAN COUCH, MAN! God. Grow the fuck up.

04-Present O&A where they would just hang out and have discussions was infinitely better than the old O&A that was full of that hack shock jock bullshit...

He's a fucking freeloading shitbag. He is going to ruin the Compound show

He is just like Pickles' brother from Metalocalypse.

That group 2U was pretty popular for a while, and didn't they used to tour other countries? I know there weren't any plugs for specific gigs in the Philippines.

He has also produced a lot of songs for the show, like "Gonna Electric Shock OJ", that brought the boys together.

He's a talented guy, I think he just choose music and Anthony chose radio. I don't think he would have wanted to be tied down to a radio show at that time; he was hoping his band would vote up.

Didn't he have a band?

He can play any song on a guitar. I always thought that was pretty cool.

There's no one defining moment that makes him stick out, he is overall just a tiresome douche.

If you can't recognize shit I can't help you.

There's a reason Opie took Anthony over Joe.

Kind of off topic but i was listening to a brother joe call from a few months ago and noticed it sounded a lot like fake mike francesa. Anyone else notice?

He isn't Racist Francesa.

I've never been bothered by him before, but seeing him frequently lately, he's started to get annoying pretty fast.

he's overbearing at times

Im thinking that LFTC will be similar to a late night talk show and Brother Joe will be the band leader.

People are just being cunts.

I don't think anyone actually hates him he just normally has boring calls and doesn't really have anything interesting to say.

I guess Joe got the good looks and Ant got the personality.

Also, Dawn got the big ol' tittays

We're gonna need to see some photographic evidence of that last statement

There was a Christmas party or something last year that Ant video streamed and she was wearing a sexy outfit that's all I remember.

I hate him
