Its just disturbing how his indiegogo campaign to try and raise $10,000 has only got 11 bucks, a week and two days into it. I've never seen the likes of it. Sounds like they just completely resent how he's trying to do his own podcast. What's the psychology going on of why they hate this guy so bad?

The other day I had posted a comment wondering why and seems kind of like in Hollywood when a celeb tries to make their kid famous, everybody just completely resents it. Like that Will Smith's son's movie, After Earth (2013). That had a budget of $130M, yet only got $60M domestic. You don't really hear of celeb's kids doing well with the trying to get famous. It's like most celebs start out from the bottom, and their kids get a shortcut and nobody likes that.

Seems like a similar situation with this Brother Joe. You hear people use the word coattails about what he's doing well let's look-up the definition of that. "Riding coattails is a metaphor that refers to the way in which lower level or uninspiring celebrities can often reach stardom through their ties to another, more popular and successful celebrity". Yup, sounds like that's whats going on and seems like the fans completely resent it.

And it's not just here, that Pietaro guy tried plugging it on wackbag and got slammed bad. Then ya got fans of Ant's show, you'd think some of them would be sympathetic. But nope, 11 bucks on that campaign. Never seen the likes of somebody so despised, it seems. lol. Its just absolutely horrendous.

I tried checking out his show, oh maybe couple weeks back or something it was, when i first heard he was doing one. Checked some of it. I think what the problem is, there's just not really any funny. Its just all straight-laced and kinda boring or something.

So what does this guy do for a day job, does he just do that cover band stuff to pay the bills? Also, ya know.. cover bands eh. Meh.. Cover songs just got such a bad reputation. Checkout the track record of rock band you like from the 80's, for example. You know that when they came out with a cover song, that was pretty much it for them. Their imagination ran out and seriously that was about it when they ran out of new material and put out a cover song to try and get some sort of filler out there. Just the other day heard knockin' on heaven's door by guns & roses as i was going thru the stations. That was around the time they came out with that double album after appetite and wow that was about it for them eh. So yeah, cover songs just got a bad stigma attached to them cause it means your band did too many hard drugs and their creativity is finished.

That whole cover songs thing its like someone trying to show they're as good as them but naw.. do your own thing. Like this brother joe guy, he obviously plays the guitar, well where's your own stuff. Maybe people would respect that more. So ya got him doing that, where its copying someone else's stuff. Then ya got him trying to do a podcast copying Ant. I don't know.. it's just disturbing how he's completely disrespected, even with Ant's fans. Trying to analyze what's going on there cause wow never seen anybody just have contempt for anyone like that within the O&A fans.. lol.. Meanwhile ya gotta wonder how Ant feels about this, it's just not good the whole situation.

And then ya got, well Brother Joe had another episode there the other day where i got that screenshot from and naw.. i just don't have time to sit thru it to check it out. Just don't have time, man. I can't sit around checking out people's podcasts cause it blows a day and you get no progress so naw.. don't have time to check it out. I'd like to though to get some sound bite clips. lol.. But naw.. takes too much time joking around. Maybe somebody could do that. Go thru the show and get some sound bites like what i had done with that opie yay clapping. Do a thread with links to quick words of wisdom. lol.. Then people might get there's some kind of funny there, even if we're laughing at him. Fuck, its just so disgraceful his whole situation, thought i'd try and help him out somehow by at least trying to analyze what's going on instead of all this quiet contempt that's happening.

Maybe everybody can just mellow out about it and check it out and laugh instead. I don't know, i just don't have time to check it out though. Maybe you can uh, do that for us and let us know if there's anything interesting there with some sound clips. Or maybe if i got time i'll try and sit thru an episode and get some, if there's any. ugh. I don't know.. that whole situation is just so fuckin sad. lol. Good luck trying to rock the casbah with it, Pietaro. Sounds like a money loser that whole concept. Good ol Brother Joe just losin bad over there. lol.

TL;DR (Too long; didn't read): Maybe Opie can help him out by giving him mondays on the channel so he can take the day off! hahahaha

Might not be such a bad idea, would get some of Ant's fan's camp tuning back into Sirius. Then Jimmy could get some sleep on mondays after running around touring for the weekend. Jimmy's about to snap any day now. He needs some rest. Opie would be less bitchy cause he'd finally get enough time off. Plus it'd help this sad-sack Brother Joe's situation. We've also had enough of listening to Opie and Jimmy's no chemistry, so i'd listen to a Brother Joe taking calls on monday mornings. Ant would feel like less of a loser about him. Cause that whole orphaned brother situation is not good for his ratings. I think that'd be 4 birds with one stone, that move. Opie needs any sort of boost over there at the channel, that's for sure.
