Oh god does Opie suck.

I can't wait for us to all fall in love with LOVES INTERNET GUY.
See, he's not funny on purpose, like Chip... get it?

That was the hardest thing I ever listened to in my life. Opie looking for approval made it exponentially worse.

He wouldn't let Sam bring up the photo of the kid holding the severed head? I thought he was edgy and a destroyer? He's more like a pussy.

Holy shit Opie's voices make me want to stab the fucking guy. What a disaster.

Come on, he's working on it!

He's not got the voice down yet, but when he does he'll bring it to the show and we'll all commit mass ritual suicide.

I'll make the kool aid!

He literally has 2 voices. The twitter guy voice and some weird forced sounding scream/yell thing that I think is supposed to sound deep and gravelly but instead sounds like someone trying to sound deep and gravelly and failing miserably. It drives me fucking insane and I'm an Opie fan.

Yo Shaq! Shaq balloon!

I just heard this and I wish never listened today

And he plans to use this voice "whenever Chip appears", thus contaminating one more GOOD vestige of the old show. What a FunnyMofo.

THIS IS THE WORST EPISODE OF O&A EVER ANYONE WHO STILL SUBSCRIBES TO SIRIUS SHOULD KILL THEMSELVES AND THEN OPIE

Just getting it out of the way.

Every single live thread ever. I don't get why listen if you hate the show so much

Not listening anymore. Not today. That shit was painful.

Not true. People raved about the episode with Vos, Ricky Gervais and Pete Rose, for example.

To educate those of us too stupid to cancel, I'm sure.

Yeah, this is a pretty bad episode. Not shitting on Opie, but this show needs at least 2 funny people at all times, and right now we only have 1.

I'm listening online and Colin is on. It's still hard to listen to. Opie is talking over everyone and trying to steer the ship conversation-wise. Just terrible.

Opie is trying to do Colin and Jimmys shtick and it isn't as good. The whole half serious about the Tony Stewart incident cause they have to talk about it is a waste.

Is that today's problem?

How many times are you going to repeat that?

Until I get bored doing it.

Easily amused, huh? That makes a great cocksucker

Ok, ok, you heard what Opie said on the show last week.

Colin makes a good joke and dummy steam roles right over him. Seriously the guys been in radio 30 years how could he still be this bad? How? Even his most ardent defenders have to admit how bad he is. They probably do by not posting.

We get it.

Do ya?

Yeah we get it faggot. We got it 10 Opie comments ago now fuck off.

Yes, now go

Finding it hard to like today's show after Ant spoiled us last week. Guess I'll just wait until 4PM.

Opie had one of the most classic interruption sequences of all time today when Jimmy was talking about his sexual encounters at age 8. He did it 5 times within about 35 seconds. How does Jimmy never blow up at him? They ABUSE callers if they interrupt once...

Wait... 3rd Grade is how old? 8??

pause 10 seconds...

Wait...you were in 3rd grade? that's what Kindergarden is 5, 6, 7 you were 8?

3rd grade is 8? (DoesTheMathForAttentionOpie) That was 38 years ago? Wait! No, 37 years? What are some other grades and ages? Let's make a list.

I would love to see how the Opie apologists spin this one. Today was one of those shows that left me wondering why I haven't cancelled yet.

They won't even try. It will just be the ol' "haters" argument.

#DelusionalOpie

He keeps talking over everyone its enraging..

Comedians, Comedians, Comedians

When will the well run dry on comedian crutches?

They pulled Vic henley out of the bottom of the barrel and the Opster had the balls to tell the guy "I forgot all about you"

They used to have comedians come sit-in on the show for a week or two at a time. Relax dummy.

You missed the point I believe.

He does that often

I bet you could feel the uncomfortable in the studio right now.

I bet you can feel the uncomfortable in your rectum right now

So is the show good this morning?

From what I gather it's like a cup of luke warm bum spittle.

Did Jim address the whole Gavin McInnes mess?

I've not finished the on-demand yet, but so far... nothing.

No. I doubt he ever will address it on the show.

Opie needs to smoke some weed..

Baby hit

Well he's been thinking of starting up again, don't forget. He may have mentioned that once or 129x, since 2009.

I actually enojyed Ant's show this week much more than this dreck. And it has Colin Quinn and they can't make it work.

so from what i gather, it was a good show right gang?

Any links to pics of the transgender caller?

JimmyLaugh.WAV

I saw her pic, and trust me, it would not be kind to post it here.

do it.

respect

UGH. Chewing fucking gum into the mic. Not being able to refrain from eating for a few hours is bad enough...

Did they say what happened in Latrobe PA yet? I had to go to a meeting and not sure if I missed it.

In all seriousness isn't a big name beer brewed there? Yuengling or rolling rock. Rolling rock is a good beer for a light beer.

Budwieser bought rolling rock out, fired all the employees. And starting making the beer in the Bud plants in St louis while they still have Latrobe on the bottle as a slap in the face.

Checked a bottle and that's pretty fucked up. It says Latrobe brewing company, St Louis, MO.

You know I had forgotten about that. I worked at a Miller distributor when that happened and they also raised the price almost 3 dollars a case but that was to kill off its profits so they could pull it from all distribution and move it to theirs.

braggart. :-)

Rolling Rock used to be brewed there, till I think Coors bought them out.

Budweiser, we already settle it.

For those who didn't put up with the entire show, I suggest listening to the final break. Jimmy finally just starts fucking around. I think colin talked to him during the commercials about how shitty the show was going so Jim and Colin finally let loose. Last break today was actually pretty fucking funny. Colin brings great shit because he has the status to be able to say on air that the current bit is shit and stupid and that the show is boring and Opie just takes it.

Yup. Try to Support the small independant breweries who are not in the assraping buisiness. Even Sam adams is trying to fuck over Lagunitas for instance.

What's the name of that documentary they were talking about?

[deleted]

Thanks

He is ALL IN on the documentaries. He watches one a day.

I don't know why everyone is complaining so much....there were some pretty funny moments. If you don't like it, don't listen...problem solved

you're an asshole.

Why? Because I enjoyed the show today? Colin Quinn did great and Jimmy was in a silly mood which was funny. Everyone on this sub is so negative nowadays

We are fans of a show that sees EVERYTHING in a negative light.

The mods have let it fester into this shithole.

You don't want to accept reality. But more and more, "You're sitting alone, sir." "Enough said."

Ah but what the hell do I know.
