"We should make a Jim Norton Chia Pet. It would sell very well."

After talking about not being able to grow his Spongebob Chia Pet, he comes up with this gem. After all the trashing he gets he just doesn't stop being awful. I don't think he can stop.

I think he even said "sell very well on opieradio dot com slash shop."

Makes me miss the days of brick and mortar. At least you could fantasize about firebombing those.

Legit lol

I liked when Norton said he should sell it on his own website, Opie objects, and Norton goes "but it's my face".

His jokes are from the 90's

He's dipping into the '80s with his chia pet material.

Chia hack

Lol yeah. I was actually making a reference to that. Glad someone was lingering longer.

Child of the 80s

How can you fuck up growing a Chia pet?

VERY well, he says that like Elmer Fudd.

I wonder how well his "F U, ABU / WE HATE YOU" and "Muthahucka" shirts are doing

BECAUSE JIM NORTON IS BALD, PEOPLE WOULDNT PURCHASE IT BECAUSE NOTHING WOULD GROW. FUCKING CLEVER I SAY. OPIE DID IT AGAIN.

I'd get one...but I'd hate to own anything with "OpieRaqio" plastered all over it

*vury good

WOULD it?

A Gregg Hughes RealDoll would sell even better.

I'd never even heard of a Chia pet before. Had to Google what the fuck it is.

really? how old are you?

Fourrrr

Urgh, this couldn't have been said in a more jokey, who gives a fuck way.

I listened to yesterday's show, first time I've tuned in since Aug. (My entire hour drive into work, couldn't find the fucking Ant discussion, ugh) They're talking about novelty gifts, and he does this classic "look at me" set up: "I failed at the novelty gift." (Nothing) "I failed at the novelty gift, I couldn't get a Chia Pet to work." (Nothing; finally Sam has to chime in: "What happened to the Chia Pet?") Like he has to drop his amazing set up there, and then bait someone into asking him about it so he can expound on its hilarity. "My son is looking at me like 'what the fuck is wrong with you?'" Yeah, because he knows what a Chia Pet is.

I can't tell how much of it is legit regression from him into basically a cast member of The View, or how much of it this sub has highlighted, but he is fucking unlistenable. I don't know how he has a job, I don't know how he got re-signed. He has ZERO comedic timing, ability, comprehension whatsoever. It's baffling to me that he's been on the air this long, around THAT caliber of talent and that amount of funny people and gleaned absolutely nothing from any of it. Fucking unbelievable. What a waste of talent having Norton on there, he's like a majestic bird with his wings clipped. Terrible. I don't know who the fuck is still listening to this show. (Besides management, obvs)

I love that how perplexed he was that Erock knows the actor's name from a TV show. "Erock, how do you KNOW all this shit?" He says that twice. "Erock knows a lot of shit." I don't know, fucking IMDB?? Google? Watch the credits after the show?

What else about the show did you notice?
