I've officially stopped listening and I don't feel like I'm missing anything of importance. The complete lack of any enthusiasm or focus has made the show completely unbearable. Even before Ant got fired, when they phoned it in they at least sounded like they were having fun. Now it's just three hours of somber who-gives-a-shit.
I wonder what Gawker would think of that joke. Opie got a little nervous after he said the fag word. He had to mumble something about "back in my day.."
I haven't heard of a phablet either. I hate you for making this post because I don't listen to the show no more, and if it weren't for you, I would of continued longer without hearing of a phablet. You are a faggot, for being upset that Opie didn't know what a phablet is, you phablet advocating queer.
Opie is killing it today. His commentary and subtle, yet hilarious jokes have been making me spit coffee all over my computer screen this morning. He needs to change his brand from #OpieRadio to #OpieComedy.
I loved Opie saying he immediately knew the song when the first part was played and a minute later when Jim didn't recognize it Opie then said that he had never heard it before.
I wish I could do a compilation of the times I've heard him never hear of something, someone says what it is, and he claims he knew that. Then, he can't provide any info, and lets other talk and when they reveal details, he echoes it, etc. as if he is the one actually saying it.
I don't listen to the show anymore, I tuned in just to hear the Sizemore segment because I wanted to see if Jimmy would mention a certain something to Tom. He walks in and goes "Which one's Opie & who's Jimmy?" Opie goes "Cmon Tom, you don't know which one of us is Jimmy?" And Norton goes "Of course he doesn't," clearly annoyed. I got ten minutes in and couldn't take another second, it was unlistenable.
I only follow Opie on IG, and I'm pretty dubious of the comments. One person said "it was one of the best interviews they've ever heard." So many of the comments are so over the top glowing it almost seems fake. I don't know.
For like a minute I was collaborating with Sizemore on some shit last year. We did one thing and were supposed to do more (I got Tom and Kirk Fox together) and Jimmy was supposed to be in part 2. But then Tom blew it up with his infamous appearance last year. I'd still talk to Jimmy about it now & again and wanted to see if he'd mention it, it's been a while. But I knew as soon as Tom walked in and was like "Which one is Jimmy?" it was out the fuckin window. Bogus. Imgur
Ah thanks. It didn't come out as good as I'd hoped. It's too long, and it's more awkward "Louie" episode funny instead of punchline funny and I don't think a lot of people got it. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/a2b4077ebe/fake-dog-shit
Tom loved it and loved the character, and we were gonna do kind of a series. Part 2 he's digging at a church dumpster, and Jimmy comes out as a priest & they get into it. I wrote his as the "Christian Jimmy" character and was so psyched to see that come to life. Jimmy loved it too and really wanted to do it, which was a great compliment. He called me on my cell about it one day out of the fucking blue, and I was so caught off guard. He was like "Hey, it's Jim Norton." I was like 'What??' It might be my favorite sketch I've ever written, I don't think it will ever see the light of day. The only other guy I could see taking over as "the Bum" was Stanhope, who really liked it but was like "Im never in LA, man." Life is gay.
Congratulations! That was excellent: well shot, well written (I laughed more than a few times) and great performances. You're very talented. I really appreciate you sharing that.
Thank you. I can't tell if you're fucking with me or not, since this is an uncharacteristically nice thing to say in this rotten room (which I love), but if not thank you, ha ha.
Are you dumb? I just listened to the interview again because I knew it didn't go down like that. Tom says, I wasn't sure who was Opie and who was Anthony. Then Opie said OMG, you gotta know at this point. Then Tom says to Jimmy, are you Jim Norton? And Jim says yes, man. Then Opie says do you remember Jim from last time? Then Jimmy says of course he doesn't, like his usual self-deprecating self.
Stop with the made up crap like Opie annoyed Jimmy and blah blah. What a joke. And I know nobody is going to see this, but you are. You are an idiot who lies to be a cool guy with the Opie haters.
Hey stupid fuck, I didn't say Opie pissed off Jimmy. I said TOM did, you fucking retard. Go back and read what I wrote, weirdo. "Am I dumb," no but you're an obviously an autistic faget.
Are they setting up Florentine to be the permanent third mic?
If they're starved for comics, why not go old school and have two or three friends of the show on at the same time like they used to? As some point Sirius made them stop putting comics on as often, but now they should say fuck you and have all the guys in at once like in 2007.
Those friends of the show are no longer at the point of their careers where they need the show.
They need to find a younger Jimmy that can bring some of the up and coming (more desperate) comics from the NY scene and target that same Tough Crowd feel again.
Welll he just demanded Kenny buy the new Blackberry cause "for the radio show," so I'd say he is bringing the funny. Bringing the funny pretty fucking hard...
I suppose he's giddy after inking a brand new deal with the phenomenal company that is Sirius XM, which he has always held in such high regard. However, a misplaced confidence and failed attempts at wit do seem consistent with the Opster's character, regardless of recent developments.
Vos had a pretty good show last night. He mispronounced more words than I ever heard. So I'm feeling optimistic about O & J today. I'm sure it'll be shattered swiftly
So difficult listening to these dolts discuss technology:
1) No one realizes that the iPhone 6 Plus is a phablet.
2) Opie: "When are they going to get rid of this eligibility thing" - when discussing upgrading phone contracts. Does he really not understand how that works?
So far this week has me pretty convinced at least Opie is going to stay on to (try to) run the channel. Maybe good ol' Linz is preggo again and he needs the steady paycheck.
He went on that twitter-voiced rant about people saying the show sucks and how he and Sirius were both very happy with how the show was going, remember? He said it was up to sirius if they wanted to resign him, so I'm guessing that meant he was on board.
Sizemore is a god awful interview, I've heard him on so many shows. He was on Carolla last week and was his typical self absorbed, no sense of humor self. He's the worst.

Every time he says 'What do you think of that, Jim? I'll bet you hate that!' What he's saying is 'Dance monkey, Dance.'
It's the equivalent of walking up to a comic and going 'Say something funny.'
