Personally I usually find Jimmy to be the actual quickest on the show, though both are insanely fast and Ant delivers just as much humor overall. Such a perfect pairing though. Whether or not they get back together in some way, I'm dying to just see Jim on Ant's show as a guest at least.
Patrice said it to Jimmy, and Jimmy told Bert Kreischer (I think) on his podcast. I've heard him on so many podcasts lately that I may have gotten the podcast wrong.
What the fuck SiriusXM? You get rid of the brilliance that was Anthony Cumia and Jim Norton on the same radio show over some stupid fucking tweets? The show will never be anything CLOSE to what it was. Opie just isn't funny enough to have that sort of chemistry like Jim and Ant had, not only does he not bring anything to the table but even when there is something hilarious he hardly laughs at it, like he doesn't even get the humor. It's fucking depressing.
Hopefully we won't have to miss it for long. If Ant's show continues to do well, why would Jim not join Anthony and create a new morning show instead of being treated like garbage and paid less than a mid-level program director? Like Ant said, the current management at Sirius does not believe in original,exclusive content anymore.
They should host the show from a New York venue(perhaps one of the many friendly comedy clubs that are empty at that time of day) and Ant can do his show in the afternoons. If Opie decides to join them,that's fine but Opie is not worth more than Jim at this point,and he is dead set on "making it on his own" and he STILL does not view Jim as an equal partner. If Jim decides to go with Ant I foresee an instant 100% rise in subs within two months and and possibly more than that within the year.
Some O&A fans may not like them separately(I hate "Serious Jimmy" )but most people here like them together(remember the Nopie shows?)
Edit: Now that I think about it,it wouldn't be completely out of the question for Sirius to syndicate the show at some point in the future. They are all about the bottom line and not having a studio and staff would save them a lot of money(to pay howie,the only original content producer left)Also, if the show disbands,they have ten years of archive material with no format to play it on,(they are not going to put "mastic moments" on rawdog).
When Godsmack was in, they were talking about album sales, and opie said something like they don't make physical cd's anymore as much or something, because they closed all the factories down. And I thought of Allentown immediately in Ants voice.
Why is it that Jimmy laughing is considered the funniest thing on the show? It's like his wheezy laugh is a sitcom laugh track that makes people automatically laugh, rather than laughing at the joke itself.
What? No one said it was the funniest thing on the show. Ant's joke is clearly the funniest thing here, but laughter can be contagious, and it's fun to hear these two comedic talents share a laugh over something.

Patrice O'Neal said that Ant can access funny quicker than anyone he's ever met.

Oh alright. I thought it might have been on the show.

I'm funny but not that funny.

Lol I literally remember where I was in my car when that line came out. One of the better lines of the year.

God damn it, I miss that too. Anthony just isn't the same on his own, he needs other people to riff off of.

I'm thinking that they'll get the band back together in October.

Anyone notice that Ant put MLK in the acronym for a disorder? RACIST!

It really was amazing how quick this drunk could be. He did it constantly. It really was something special.

Go on, deny it. Go on and lie.

This is such a weird thing to say.

Every time someone posts a "funniest joke from O&A" clip, it's always a clip of Jimmy doing that laugh rather than focusing on the joke itself.
That's why there's two Jim Norton "laugh compilations" on youtube.
Humans are animals with basic, idiotic pavlovian responses. People are just mad that I bought this to their attention so they downvoted me.

Or they think you're a douche for trying to ruin a nice little laugh.
