Florentine, i'm at a point now where I wish him death.

Thanks Opie.

I welcome florentine if it means Sherrod is off the airwaves.

Amen.

You should convince Florentine to date himself.

Opie treats Jimmy like an overbearing mother treats her slow child-- feeling the need to finish Jimmy's thoughts and answer for Jimmy.

Opie probably picked it up from his Mother. Have you heard, she has mental illness.

She also used cement bags for his lunch, poor young dullard.

It's clear now that the Stangel brothers were hired to feed Opie lines to make him seem funny, as the instant feedback jokes he used to rely on (vury guud) have dried up due to fan indifference/hatred towards him

It has to be embarrassing for Jimmy. And what, nobody will notice if Opie becomes funny all of a sudden? This is kind of like showing up at work with a hairpiece. It's pathetic.

Are they feeding him lines? What makes you think that? If that was the case it would be pretty embarrassing for everyone involved with the show.

It seems like they're supposed to be what Jackie was to Howard. What else could they be there for? If they're just supposed to come up with bits, they can do that from home, the night before.

Are they/ will they be given mic time?

They were on the mic today and pitched a brilliant idea that Sam cover the Pit Bull concert

I'm torn on this. I want this to blow up in Opie's facccccce so bad, but Yimmy is such a sweet boy, I don't want him to get hurt over it.

if it blows up in ops face maybe jim will go over to TACS and well have one show that isnt shitty

I can't see Jim sticking around for another contract with the clear morning zoo direction this show is going in. Jim will either go to TACS or hope that Ricky Gervais makes a show about a worm-like man who likes to jerk off on the brink of orgasm for 8 hours.

its money. i cant really blame the guy. tons of people wouldnt quit their high paying job they dont like to go elsewhere for less money

I agree, but I think he'll weigh the 2 options of working harder on the road (if he doesn't go with ant) or going into work each day with a script on a radio show that once told abortion/stewed tomato jokes.

I hate to say it, but O&J has a million times more likelyhood for expansion/getting new non-o&a listeners than TACS. At least as it stands now. Maybe if ant gets an NY Studio things will take off

edit: turn on your local morning zoo horse shit. O&J sucks cock compared to O&A but theyre amazing compared to whats out there

I agree, Opie wants to be Howie jr and the show will be a shell of itself in 8 months, which is why I think Jim will be miserable.

i dont know how much ant or jim makes, but im not sure ant could price match SXM

People speculated that Jim makes 150k a year, before Ant got fired and now he makes slightly more. Ant needs to look at it like an investment and really push for jim. Once Howard leaves and Opieradio is Opie and Friends, listeners will want a new, semi-edgy show every day and ant/jim can deliver that. They should do it at 6am-9 and not worry about competing with Opieradio because it will be a totally different demo.

This is just painful.

Sunny Bono died skiing 87 years ago and Jim is still scared to ski.

Does Jimmy have any life experiences other than going to prostitutes?

He drank 3 beers when he was 16 and tried to commit suicide several times. He's been clean ever since.

He took a train the other day. But he was probably getting sucked off by a prostitute during the ride.

He has bought and returned wicker candles, does that count??

Listening to Kiss and Ozzy records while jerking off.

6 comments what a great show!

Are the Stangel brothers writing exclusively for O&J or do they write for other SirusXM shows too? It doesn't really seem like a full time job. In fact, not even a decent part time job.

TIL - Opie got into big, big, big trouble for Tweeting a photo of a bed bug flier at work. However, after Howard spoke about the flier, Opie was off the hook.

I cannot think of anything less interesting than George Zimmerman.

Opie, Norton, and Florentine pontificating on George Zimmerman.

Zimmerman has a name like he should be a high-flying tax lawyer and a face like a diner short order cook. More importantly than either of these things, he seems to be a cunt.

You forgot "white hispanic"

Don't tell that to Anthony, he doesn't like it when people disrespect his boo

KISS is gay.

Has Florentine always been unfunny and unintelligent?

His crowning achievement was in prank phone calls ,you tell me.

He was good for 2-3 appearances a year before Anthony got fired.

And he was good on Ant's show. Seems like when he's relied on to be the "NO, no guy should ever do that" guy, he starts to stink it up a bit.

Opie you dumb cunt, the menus at FH Reilly's and Chili's & Applebees are almost identical.

LOL at opie stopping the song right before the part that was supposedly stolen

I wish Sam would have just called the retard out instead of beating around the bush.

Can't shut off the jam, mahn. Just gotta let it play. Let the rock speak for itself. Ffffffffffffffffuck!

A Yimmy ass-eating story is always great for the soul

Ladies and Gentlemen. The Stangel era has begun

"Plus," added Justin Stangel, "It's radio so we don't even need to wear pants."

http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/NY05279.htm

THE NAKED MILITIA

Plus management loves the new direction:

"SiriusXM is thrilled to welcome Eric and Justin Stangel, among the best comedic minds working today," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. "Bringing this level of talent to Sirius XM and Opie Radio as writers and creative contributors will provide huge value to our subscribers through the exclusive material they create. We can't wait to hear how they help Opie Radio and other SiriusXM programming continue to grow"

"Watch as they have their souls sucked out of them! Marvel at how quickly they stop giving a shit! Gaze at their lack of effort and planning! Become mesmerized as Opie stutters and stumbles his way through their dated and corny jokes!"

It's almost as if Krusty the Clown is providing material...

Hopefully they just stay the fuck away from bennington, that show needs nothing but room to grow

Did anybody else catch Opie say the Stangels have been helping with the show for 4 months? THIS IS THE NEW DIRECTION? Same exact show as before.

Upward and onward. Only good things can come of this. The Opster is gonna be on fire!

Sam is an established broadcaster! He doesn't need to do spots on some hack Pitbull channel! The Opster and Sam Morning Mayhem Show exec produced by the Stangel Bros coming this Summer!

Things to take from today's show. The Stangels offer as much to the show as Snowy does. Jim had to explain what "hack" was, to Opie. Opie thinks Michael RapaporT is pronounced Rapa-poor, just like he used to call Observe and Report, Observe and Rapport.

To be fair, I also thought it was pronounced rappa-poor.

To be fair, you're not in "show biz" and dont need to know that stuff.

True.

Ugh, the over the top forced laughs from Opie today have reached a new level of irritability.

Florentine was finally entertaining today;pointing out Sam Roberts and his white guilt but then he went back to being a bore
