It sucks, I'd love to do more than speculate. But the show that's "above all else, real" isn't sharing much inside information. At least walk us through your thought processes. You know what would be a good radio topic? What to do with the show come October. Open up the phone lines, let's talk. Bounce ideas around ON AIR.
Nobody wants to hear about the ice bucket challenge.
I was wondering the same thing, but this might be the only way to put the two names on one line. In any case, trying to balance "Opie" against "Jim Norton," Opie is always going to be bigger. Plus, Jimmy himself said he doesn't want his name on the show. So if it's just 'featuring' Jim, this isn't so bad.
It'd be difficult to do both names in block form like that without parts looking goofy, I think. To get them both equally sized you'd have to stretch out Opie's name and make it really chunky.
I agree, but I would've done Jim the same size and done norton in small letters running down the right of the M in Jim, like "with" is in middle there. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I just can't help but think this is Opie being a douchenozzle, yet again.
If they cut out the norton part and made it OPIE & JIM or OPIE with JIM it would still be the same size. So i don't really see the issue. Just blind Opie hate.
You are giving Opie a lot of credit if you think he made that graphic. Somebody did it for him, it's not his fault his name has 4 letters and Jim has only 3.

"I hate DJ's with hacky fake names! Opie was my nickname as a kid, so it's different."

Well it looks like he's ready to re-brand the show come October.

if you listened to opie last few years you would know he wanted to podcast and have 0 desire to re-sign

I would LOVE to hear that stuff, but, if you've ever been in real negotiations you don't want to let certain stuff be known.

It's almost like the poster from a 'Flight of the Conchords' episode

It's big, like the dicks Opie sucks when he tries to be funny.

He didn't even give him the co-host thing. Opie AND. Its "with." I don't know why Jim keeps saying he doesn't want equal billing.

It is his fault. Everything is his fault.
