Opie, Jim and Florentine...

3 dummies who don't know shit about anything, and spend hours pretending they do. I hate to say this, but today's show just showed how out of touch and ignorant of so many things they are. Just awful. Especially Florentine, he's a naive boob, I've concluded, but he tries to be an expert on everything.

It should be funny, but it's just agony listening to it. I turned off the download halfway through, I couldn't take it anymore.

Conversely, The Anthony Cumia Show was hilarious today.

Yeah it was, Anthony's the one to keep Serious Jimmy in line so without him Jimmy kind of hindes the show

I want this guy back: http://imgur.com/he1DKoe

Yimmy is dead.

WHAT?! YOU DIDN'T ENJOY TODAY'S SHOW?! WHAT ARE YOU, 8?!

"My son didn't even like it, he's fourrrr."

If he wasn't a "friend of the show" they would destroy him for that voice.

Are you kidding? His voice is amazing. Look how distinctive it is. He sounds like a super villain.

"OK, I'll allow it if its one of da kids or sumthin...."

I don't think Florentine professes to be an expert on anything except 80s metal.

I heard he LOVES Fantasy Football.

I think you're mistaken. I believe he actually hates it!

He's not even that knowledgeable about metal, he just parrots the stuff from Blabbermouth.com.

They are too insulated.

They need a guy with worldy knowledge. Someone who keeps up on world events as a whole, and not just what interests them. Ant woulda said alot more about the Foley beheading, because he actually read up on it, not a skimming over the NYC rag mag newspapers like the Post and Daily News. There is a reason people leave newspapers on the subway.

Sirius fired that guy, in an obvious attempt to sink the show. Cue diabolical laughter by Hoo Hoo

O&A were not even a pimple on Hoo Hoo's ass for the past 5-7 years.

They are on the 5 days a week hoo fuck does not do a show.. Oh wah wah my Americunts got talent schedule is so tough I can only do shows on Monday and Tuesday. Wow what a fuck job he's doing to his radio listeners. Jesus fuckin Christ

Almost everyone who hates Florentine do it b/c he buried something they've enjoyed themselves.

Why would they downvote you if it weren't true?

There are at least 10 manchildren on here 24/7 who immediately give traction to retarded circlejerk threads like these.

It would help if you cited what you feel they were ignorant about. Not saying I don't agree esp. in the case of Opie but it'd be more interesting to see what put a bee in your bonnet.

I'd have to re-listen to the show, and I really don't want to do that.

Norton and florentine aren't there for good info on news, they're there for comedy and usually deliver. It just seems like the energy/ dynamic / chemistry isn't there with Jimmy and opie, which sucks. I was hoping they would work it out, daily it seems like that won't happen. Like I've said before, not Jimmy's fault. He is very funny, but when he doesn't have someone to help with his riffs (fuck yeah) or characters, the whole thing falls flat. Today's show would've been great with ant present, he won't not have let the last guy/ the activist talk to himself without an argument that no one on the show today could provide.

Even among my group of friends who love metal we wouldn't want to fucking talk to him. His schtick gets old fucking fast.

I love how he thinks Linkin Park and Godsmack are true heavy metal bands and you don't know what you are talking about if you think otherwise. The dude is barely a metal head. Same with Jimmy. Ac/Dc/Kiss/Ozzy/Sabbath worship doesn't mean shit.

His standup is actually really strong, Opie just reduces him down to doing the whole "WHY?!" schtick over and over.

Florentine is MUCH better on his own podcast. He is a dummy, but his schtick/rants can be funny. It's not as funny with Opie stepping all over it...."ha ha..but Jim..what about trucker hats..can I wear those?"

Fuck you OP. Florentine is the best

Of all the rotating comics, Jim Jim and Ope is my favorite combo so far. I love Florentine, I know he can be annoying but he & Norton together is awesome in almost any capacity. Today's show wasn't exactly a high watermark, but I still love when J Flo is on. (That's my TMZ nickname for him)

agree 100%, Florentine is my favorite and makes me laugh more than any other guest. I love his pranks, his hatred for everything that doesn't involve getting pussy, the fact that he figured out Dennys mouth is for sale, and his story telling skills.

Today I did (for probably the first time) get annoyed at Norton. His knowledge of music really is pathetic. Dude really needs to wake the fuck up and start broadening his tastes. He can't name a single fucking Foo Fighters song? REALLY? That made my blood boil for some reason. KISS fucking blows

I have fantasies of asking Jim, with 100% sincerity, if he minds that I call him that.

Im gonna see him Friday night at the Whiskey, I can't wait. Dude put me on his guest list and he doesn't even know me. Guy is so fucking nice, honestly one of the nicest comedians I've ever met.

That Florentine hates everything is Opie's fault, he keeps bringing it up and turning the show into. "Hey what about this trending thing?! I BET YOU HATE THAT TOO!!"

I'm sure Florentine wants to talk about other shit.

I just can't wait for the Opie & Sam Show...I haven't been following closely, but has Jimmy missed one yet? I think Opie alone would be an instant classic.

Just quit listening. That's what I did. Now I just go to Jason's channel and listen to the segments I haven't yet and bask in the greatest that used to be. When that well dries up though, I don't know what I'll do.

When these three get together they are deadly.

They are never wrong, their opinions are the only opinions and no one calls anyone out on BS

Case in point - Florentine on "Ketchup."

Florentine: "I don't put ketchup on my burger. Because I'm not 5." Opie: "HAHAHAHA, that's great!" Jimmy: "You know how to make a great point!"

This past exchange made me want to veer off the road.

Just the worst.

Terrible, just fucking terrible.

Die in a fire, fucking retard.

LOL, someone is upset.

Obviously, hence the thread.

The second most painful thing about Florentine on the show is Opie constantly doing an impression of him.

The most painful thing about Florentine on the show is when Opie constantly bites his tongue and stops himself from doing impressions of Florentine.

I'm checked out of the show for a month. Give them a chance to get settled in, I can't handle these growing pains. They're doing half the show that Ron & Fez are right now.

Honestly couldn't even get through 30 minutes of today's show.

"Shut up Opie!"

I just listened to tacs with colin man it really does highlight that ant carried the show with his knowledge plus comedy

I'll never say anything bad about Norton, he does annoy me sometimes but he also makes me laugh. Florentine not so much. What was the other guy's name, your phone crapped out....

There was a show a couple years ago where Anthony and Jimmy were both out and Opie and Florentine did the show alone together. No callers, no pretending to know things they don't know, just stories (some true!) and banter, two idiots having a good time yapping. It was fuckin' great.

Next day, Anthony's back riffing about his—

TOMMY IN WATAHBOOORY, GA-HEAD!

Im gonna see him Friday night at the Whiskey, I can't wait. Dude put me on his guest list and he doesn't even know me. Guy is so fucking nice, honestly one of the nicest comedians I've ever met.
