The irony of the bbbboys mocking Scott and Todd for having no off air relationship

I don't know how to time stamp on mobile so it starts around 10 minutes in

Eric mentions how as soon as the show ends one of them is out the door immediately. I never would have thought the Opie and Anthony relationship was no different. Interesting to note Opie says nothing during this.

I don't think you meant to say irony, I believe the phrase you were looking for was gut churning hypocrisy

It's not as important as you think though. I recall Penn Jillette saying multiple times, that he and Teller purposefully don't hang out often. They are business partners, and since they don't have similar interests outside of magic, they don't force themselves to be friends.

The difference is Penn & Teller agreed to that, and they don't want to hang out all the time to not get sick of each other. O&A were sick of each other and decided to not address the issue and just fade away from each other.

o&a had what is called a gentlemans agreement. anthony would walk on greggshells and greggshells wouldn't pout about not being loved.

Exactly. They aren't best friends but they are friends. They support each other's projects and participate and are there for important things in each others lives. They are also very intelligent and rational people.

I wonder how E-Rock is going to try to explain what the hell this is supposed to mean: http://i.imgur.com/vxHxbl4.png

That Nagel kid.

Opie knows he is Todd, that's why he hates him so much. Todd has his dream job. Todd even made poor little erock walk on Toddshells.

I hate that you wrote "bbbboys". I always went UGHH with disgust when callers said that

This was part of the reason that I believed O&A didn't hate each other behind the scenes. It would be too hypocritical of a show that was always slamming the hypocrisy of others and pointing it out and being brutally honest about themselves.

Now I realize, it was Jim and Ant and the stand up comedian guests who were being brutally honest about themselves, and Opie was simply aping them, pretending to be like those guys, but was instead doing it with lies and was incapable of being self critical or self deprecating like a legitimately funny person does.
