An old boss of mine said it best. Born Agains are just addicts that have replaced their addiction with another, that they want to push on you

Show kicks on at 7am on my phone.

I remember waking up and turning it off in disgust. Ended up being late to work. Godsmack and Florentine on the way to work made up for it though.

Yeah, unfortunately I'm on my way home at 7am. For the first time I almost changed the channel

Straw is just a mental cripple, the ''show wrecker'' is Roland Campos.

Holy shit. That was fucking terrible.

Terrible and fucking painful

Wow the part where she was asking jimmy if he's seeked Jesus and he was trying to be polite. Super uncomfortable haha

Haven't even heard it yet (and will most likely skip it) but checked Opie's IG and Twitter this morning and he was just getting bombed by everyone on his Darryl Strawberry pics, people saying how horrible it was.

Skip it & listen to Bill Burr on Kevin Pollak's Chat Show, it's so fucking good. (Sad how many podcasts out there smoke what's become the Opie Minus Anthony Show :(

Once upon a time, they would have goofed with a guest that bad.

RAMOOOOONE. Tell me again about the Jesus.

After two minutes: "They're telling us that you have to go now."

Maybe a nobody but I don't think they'd do it with someone who was a big as Straw was.

Roland must have confused Daryl Strawberry for a local pastry chef.

I'm glad Old Strawberry is doing good but he brought the show to a screeching halt.

Fuckin' Jesus hour.. Like torture.

What, Roland couldn't get Nik Wellenda in at the same time?

An entire box of gourmet donuts caught his eye...pulled his attention away from making another call. Perhaps "god" will give him a heart attack soon.

I didn't really mind it, kind of put me in a trance. Reminded me of when I had to go to AA meetings for deferred prosecution on a DUI. I'd just zone out relaxing on those comfy couches. It definitely wasn't good radio though. Terrible fit for this show.

HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON You can't just say something like that and not talk about it!

.....

PAUSE...PAUSE....Drexler I'm gonna have to hang up on you if you don't stop talking...go on

I'm sure you've never driven under the influence of anything ever, Mr. 420.

I don't drink anymore and therefore don't drive drunk. But I'm also not somebody who believes that being a little buzzed and driving automatically equals death, either. Is it smart though? No.

Seems very therapeutic.

You know you didn't really have to go to those meetings right? It's Alcoholics Anonymous. You could have just written the letter from your 'sponsor' saying you attended and are making progress and signed it with any first name.

Source: worked for a shady attorney and wrote many of those letters for his DUI clients.

Is this their way of getting back at sirius?

Darryl "third mic" Strawberry

Daaaaa-ryll Daaaaa-ryll Daaaaa-ryll

I was actually thinking about the Simpson's episode when Bart and Lisa made him cry by chanting that: http://nbcprohockeytalk.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/darryl.jpg

As was I, but the real thing was easier to find...

Literally all I thought of the entire interview.

First things first I'm Daaaaaaryllist

[deleted]

holy... fucking... shit. that was brutal. at least it was the first hour.

Who fucking booked him and why!?

My only guess was they thought they would get some good baseball while on drugs talk from him and it backfired because he hates baseball and everything that is associated with it. I'll give them credit they tried to steer it to baseball several times but all they got was Jesus back in return.

Thanks to Roland another stinkeroo. Fatty couldn't book a entertaining guest to save his life.

He's already booked all the chefs he has deemed worthy...

Did you hear Opie after the break quickly state that he wasn't sure how it went? Duuuude. How could you not know?

He knew, I think he was just being civil

Darryl has been "programmed" it seems. Solid brain washing..

He said he loves life which is better than being face down in a crack house in Jersey somewhere.

Or he could recover without drinking the koolaid of strange religiosity.

they couldnt win there they had know idea thats what was going to happen but what could they realistically have done? Ope and jim both knew it didnt go well they said so as godsmack came in. Shitting on the guy would have been awful he was on death's door and hit rock bottom and "god" got him out of it. They couldnt shit on him they should have tried to get him out a bit faster maybe but i get the position they where in.

Daryl: I love Jesus 2900 times.

Broad: I love jesus 2900 times, and its a fight..

Daryl: I love Jesus, dosent like baseball.

Opie: "It's pretty obvious just talking with you."

Yuck.

Holy shit all the god talk was killing me. How about u let some atheist callers get in to argue with these 2 to make things abut more interesting for the listeners ugh

Jimmy could of had a bit more conviction than to straddle the "I just don't know man, I mean, I have a problem with god, but I just wish I could be like you, or like the other end and say fuck god" line.

I'm happy for Strawberry and his wife but to list god as the number 1 thing you love, then his wife, then his kids is abominable.

I think that was the worst bit of "radio" I've ever heard. Jimmy and Op didn't have anything to add to Strawberry's nuttiness and he basically just took over the show...and it was terrible.

I have a long commute so I usually listen to everything, but today I just took my headphones out and stared out the train window for 40 mins

That was incredibly dull.

[deleted]

Can't break what's already broken.

I had to tap out, did ope get his balls signed?

One giant car crash.

A book tear or rip would've really livened it up a bit, but Opie needed some autographs so he didn't want to do anything.

Getting signed bawls fo da Philly Crew!

I honestly think this was a paid hour. It sounded exactly like a paid hour, anyway.

[deleted]

Listening to the first 10 minutes on Weds/day after, Opie admits he was afraid to do anything remotely interesting or controversial because "he had to get autographed baseballs" for people in the Philly Crew. Great, way to not compromise your artistic integrity. At least it was for a good reason, right? (This is the exact reason the show has been a shadow of its former self for the last 4-5 years)

Sounds like DLH really helped the interview when Darryl was in last time.

Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden are not the same person; David Lee Roth was in during the Gooden interview:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JjBQoI73_ww

Ah, damn. My bad.

How did Opie not ask their stance on gay marriage when the dumb bitch was spouting on about marriage. If he was so extreme man he'd have done it. Zero balls Opie.

Thanks Obama.

One bad show since the firing.. relax

Guess you didn't hear yesterdays

Soder killed..you are nuts

[deleted]

Same voice for every character. Gotta love it.

Really, he "killed?" How about the other two hours of repetitive talk, like two full breaks on the Ebola virus?

[deleted]

Let me guess:

Opie didn't challenge either of the Strawberry's about the idiotic notion that is religion and the fairy tale belief of an afterlife and simply coward to them?

Edgy guy.

Right. Being anti-religion is so edgy and brave.

I can't imagine living in the shit area of the country where religion dictates everyones lives. Being vocally atheist in that part of the country is brave. Luckily, I don't have to be that.

Neither does anyone else. This imaginary land you speak of just that... imaginary.

[deleted]

The South. That's the shit area where belonging to a church matters. Where you may have trouble fitting in if you don't go to church. Where some proms are still segregated. Where there's a breakfast joint called "Tar Baby's" and it's logo is a caricature of a black baby eating pancakes.

That area of the the country gives us a black eye. When you travel outside the US (you should try it), and someone asks you where you from and you tell them USA, they start with this honky tonk impression of what an American is. Now, I say I'm from NY and I won't get that. The South is an embarrassment to this nation, especially when they still hold on dearly to the ideas of the Confederacy. The South promotes ignorance with the religious culture that permeates the region.

I've lived in Europe and Asia, also raised in small-town East Texas, live in Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. I have an idea what I'm talking about.

And you're wrong on all accounts. Tar Baby's? it's a placed based on a series of short stories or because a few segregated proms (hosted by individuals, not the school) tarnishes the whole south.

You know nothing of the South. The only bigot I've seen or heard from today is you. You don't even know how ignorant you are, which makes you twice as ignorant as a normal idiot.

Last, no racism in NYC, no Sir.

	

	

	

Tar-Baby:

The Tar-Baby is a fictional character in the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881; it is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br'er Rabbit. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.

In modern usage, "tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by additional contact.

Where there's a breakfast joint called "Tar Baby's" and it's logo is a caricature of a black baby eating pancakes.

Never heard of a place like this and I lived in Hick central. The real legit hillbilly types. The town I lived in would chase black people out quite literally when I lived there, though I've heard quite a few Mexicans live up in that area now.

You're not wrong about atheists getting shit in these areas though. Luckily when you're an adult you can just move out of the house and it's the same as anyone else dealing with their overly religious family members. Lots of Christians around but they don't force a grown person to do anything.

Anybody in Chicago ever go to a Harolds Chicken?

Some of the older ones in Harvey, South Shore, and Englewood still have the tar baby black dude with big lips and pitch black except for eyes and teeth

I saw it. It's in North Myrtle Beach, SC. I was down there for a wedding. I was appalled. Apologists say it has nothing to do with racism but more about some child's story about a rabbit but we all know what it means. No one in America calls anyone a fag and says "no no, I meant the cigarette, not the derogatory term for homosexuals."

The mascot is clearly a caricature of a black baby eating pancakes. The south is really stupid and backwards.

You say all this shit about the South, but New Jersey still has Lady Di, Marion, and Ponytail Ronnie. So...

You make points I cannot argue against.

I love how the stereotypical redditor who identifies as an atheist, or as some of you morons perceive as hipster, is a fat fedora wearing douche bag.
