Did you ever meet anyone from O&A in real life?

I saw Intern David get on a NJ Transit train back in 2012. He made it to the back of the train car without looking up from the floor.

I caught Joe Derosa trying to burn a cross on my front lawn.

I met all the guys and a few comics at comedy shows and such but my favorite moment involved club soda Kenny. I was in the parking lot of the post office in Springfield NJ. I was about to pull out and I check my side mirror and walking up is the big lug. It's no mistaking him, so I roll down my window and as he walks by I say, "big fan." He responds with "THANK YOU" and stops walking and just turns towards me and looks at me. I assumed he would just head into the post office but now he's just standing there waiting for me to talk. It was about 1pm on a week day so I asked, "did you just get back from the city?" "YES"

He still just stood there waiting for something else. "You live in the area?" "YES" I swear he would have just stayed there and not moved if I didn't say I had to go. He was very kind but it just made me laugh how exactly like he's on the show he was

I hope you didn't bother intern David too much, because you'd all be dead without my David.

I may have seen Bobo walking his dogs near Astoria, although it could have been any other mentally inept man in a Mets jacket. Saw Jimmy live at his Vice show taping. Got to see Ronnie, Fez, Pepper Hicks, and Shelby live at an Unmasked taping.

Opie. Spoiler: he's actually pretty short. Prob. not more than 5'8

What he lacks in height, he makes up for in awful radio.

Well we all know he is pretty short. He would have been in the NBA if not for his lack of height.

He was a real math whiz in highschool too. He's basically lebron James and Einstein in one delicious model body.

I played a game with someone who called himself Troy Quan. We always use to say lines from the show in chat. Always found it funny.

In real life, nope.

Bobo and Big A

Opie and Anthony. Met 'em at CES

Opie, Jim, Ant courtesy of the walk over. And Black Earl at the Hard Rock two weeks ago.

Had a nice conversation with Bobby Kelly. Nick Dipalo kept staring at my girls legs after a show.

I've seen Opie/Jim but never spoken with them.

I've see Sam way too much. Few times in New Rochelle and a few times in tarrytown area.

I've been a fan since 99 during the WNEW days and saw the guys at a few live events/bar hangouts back in the day. Not long enough to have real conversations with, they were always swarmed with the "inner circle." Just the usual photo op and autograph line.

I did meet the whole show together once. Opie, Ant, Jim, Club Soda Kenny, eRock, Sam, and Danny at Newark Airport had all just come back from the Chicago shows in 2011 or 2012. I noticed them walking off the plane and then they formed a little group on the side like they were waiting for someone. It was just before 8am on a Sunday and I knew they must have been up awful early to get on that flight so I just said "Hey, big fan" or something and kept walking past them. They all were polite enough to say hello back but that was it.

I talked with Ant, Ope, and Jimmy at the 20th Anniversary UnMasked taping last year, albeit for maybe 30-45 seconds. They rushed everyone through the line for handshakes and autographs so the suits and show staff could go to the "invite-only" after party... so the conversation was real short but it was nice to actually speak to them other then a "hi". Jim kinda creeped my wife out by asking her to stand next to him during the photo op then proceeded to put his little arm around her. Her face in the photo is priceless.

And I met Ant and Keith at Mohegan Sun during his live Poker event this past December. Ant was totally swarmed by his inner circle and didn't make any attempts to leave them and talk to the rest of us schmucks that came to see him. I did see him at the bar once by surprise and got to talk to him for maybe a minute before Lynz Bella came over and basically started talking over me and my wife. Keith was very nice with his time and very appreciative that everyone came to the show. I don't play Poker so I didn't play in the tourney but I hear the guys that sat at his table had a great time. I was done playing blackjack before he was eliminated and bailed on the tournament so I missed him there too.

I've met jimmy. He's a creepy little dude. You can tell he's just not really ever comfortable.

When I lived in Hell's Kitchen I would see Sam Roberts way too frequently; that cheap motherfucker parks his Jeep (with NOTSAM plate) all the way over at like 9th and 50th. Bit of a hike to McGraw-Hill from there, just to save a few bucks.

for real? that's what his plate said? What a monumental cornball.

They came and did a signing at the HMV in my local mall during their Demented World tour.

I didn't have any money so I couldn't get anything for them to sign so I just stood in line for a couple hours just to say hi.

I hate me.

faggot.

...yep

Yep-I met Norton,Patrice,Vos, little Bobby Kelly, and Bill Burr from going to comedy shows. Way back when they were still on regular radio I went to the O&A celebrity softball game in Newark and it was a mess- met Steve C,Jay Mohr and Tracey Morgan, but the highlight was 10 year old Gary(this little foul mouth kid that used to call the show- linger longer)

I've had the opportunity to meet Bonnie, Rich, Jim and Kenny while at comedy clubs. Passed it up each time. Never felt the urge to stand in line after the shows only to make meaningless small talk and get a photo with them.

I actually met Roland in person once in Times Square. Told him I was a huge fan of the show, tried to shake his hand. He just ignored me and walked away while mumbling some bullshit to himself. Ignorant, morbidly obese, cock smoker.

I walked past Roland one day and if I didn't know him from the radio show, I would not fuck with that guy. He is a beast.
