I can't wait for Opie to not be able to deliver jokes given to him on joke cards.

Opie goes most entire shows without cracking a joke, and his only attempts at humor are dropping into a lower voice every once in a while, so when he is handed joke cards(which they alluded to today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ompp4Rm_IFA#t=13m05s)((btw, everything they say, especially Jim, about mike francesa could be applied to Opie)) it'll be extremely obvious it was handed to him and will never fit naturally into conversations. He will also destroy them with momentum-killing "ummm"'s and a timing/cadence that is reverse magnetism to joke-telling, and I can't wait to hear his failures.

It's gonna be as smooth as when Sam would hand them to Bobo. (Which always made me laugh) "Patty, if you breathe into that mic one more time, I'm gonna bite your clit owff."

Only when jugs ahoy mispronounces words and fucks up the delivery we will now get polite correction, silence, then quickly move on. Hilarious!

jugs ahoy

We need to get that on a coffee mug brotha man

Fuck off... SPADE

Was that the same one?? Holy shit that was funny. Nothing made me laugh harder than Sam doing that, or the boys getting him to do something awful/loud in his house or in public. I'd laugh so hard my fucking solar plexus hurt.

I met Bobo once and told him he was responsible for some of the hardest laughs of my life, it registered absolutely zero with him. He just started talking about the Mets again. God I hate him.

That one was when they had Patrice and Colin in and brought some Australian chick in to pretend to be Bobo's online girlfriend and break his heart.

Oh, yeah. BE RESPECTFUL TO MY GIRLFRIEND, AWRITE??

One of my favorite moments was when Bobo got high on the laughter and tried an original line. It naturally bombed, and Jimmy suggested that "a certain mulatto hatemonger" must have left the room.

Bobo has better delivery.

There a clip of that?

Probably, somewhere. I just remember almost everything Sam handed him was progressively funnier/more rotten, and Bobo could not contain his glee with each one. It was one of the hardest times I've ever laughed at that young man. Bobo is a funny fucker.

Was it when the magician was in?

''if you wanna see magic a trick, watch my dick get hard''

-yes, I believe Colin was in that day as well.

The saddest thing will be him waiting for a joke. The Brilliance of Jimmy is his jokes are delivered instantly. Too wait to receive a joke would just kill what classic O&A was about.

Also the follow up. Even if he is able to read and deliver the joke, that will be it. There won't be any back and forth for Opie to follow up with. When Stern is handed notes and jokes he can run with them. He's given an idea and heads in that direction and makes it even funnier. Something tits will never be able to do.

ugh, yes!! Coupled with the fact that Jimmy has to coddle that narcissistic nitwit.

"Hold on HOLD ON HOLD ON -- I'm about to have a good one, I see the pen moving."

*five seconds of dead air*

Best example of Opie "reading" lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYWn55bMKlc

''Worldstar got a nigga, ribs hurting TODAY!!''

Fucking moron

This truly hurts me to listen to. He literally has no sense of how sentences are structured at all. It's like he just reads each word individually, immediately forgets the context, and hopes it all added up to a coherent thought.

Everyone kills reading these lines. Pause for Greggshells to read one. Rinse. Repeat.

He's a humor black hole

Opie reads a line someone already read because he doesn't listen. silence

Sam reads a repeat. "Listen asshole, you ruined the bit."

He even put on an accent of how he thinks a "brotha" talks when delivering those lines, his inner racist coming out.

It's incredible that someone could ruin that segment. I remember reading the comments section right after the video was posted, and it was a goldmine. But Opie picks the worst ones and reads them in a fragmented wigger voice. Horrific.

He casually slips in that they "took one of his too"...

Just listen to any live read or when he reads a news article. That's the quality of jokes we'll get. Mispronounced and stuttered.

no different then when he would use peoples jokes on pal talk, it was painfully obvious.

Wow. I wonder if he'll actually be using Letterman's index card system.

Lol Opie was pissed when people asked if they were writers after Sirius said they would be writers. He never said what they would be doing though. Simply "Producer" is Erock type vaguery. Shout out to that nigga

He mentioned the shit came from twitter. I thought Ope blocked the haters.

Opie has his own private Prep Burger service now.

If they're not writing jokes, what are they doing? It doesnt make sense.

Yeah he said they aren't writing for him and he doesn't need writers but a) they are writers and b) he does need writers

We'll know soon enough if his jokes are written. If he's all of the sudden the funniest guy in the room, then I think we'll have our answer!

They're writing jokes, but Opie is lying. They probably have access to his twitter and will be posting on there too.

Fucking Eh! Great call on the Twitter Line. They probably will take over his Twitter. My only question is do the brothers get paid extra since they have to memorize all the t-shirt sizes and different clever sayings so they can advertise them?

Who thinks Opie would have been on radio this long without Ant? Were writers ever brought in before?

Hey, he "did his 20 years" If it weren't for Ant, Opie would be be doing contests like 'Eat a pound of lo mein at MamaSans and win an Opie and Brother Wease show t-shirt.

*Wease and Opie, you mean. Maybe Wease and the Opester; it flows better.

(Gravelly male voice:) "Y-y-y-you're listening to Wease and the Opester!"

*Laser "pew pew" sound effects*

(Sultry female voice:) "Wease and the Opester..."

(Gravelly male voice:) "On 95.5 WBAB."

lol

That's a good point but the flipside is would Anthony still be in a crawl space somewhere without Opie?

LOUIE BEANZZ

HOLD ON, HOOOOOOOLD ON Jimmy. We have a line from Justin. Justin, your mic isn't on...ok, that's better. Queue a bombarooo

HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON I've got the line, I've got the line... got the line... uhh hold on... I just thought of this.. so maybe she.. no wait, maybe she should.. oh that says, ok yeah ...

Tits has been repeating other peoples jokes for 20 years,he'll be fine.

I can't wait for Jimmy to become more irritated with this nonsense.

Great new topic! I agree with you that he will butcher the shit out of written jokes. And if he does nail the joke, you'll know it because he'll figure out a way to repeat it at least 2 more times. The Stangel a Brothers definitely have their work cut out for them.

So now Opie will be paying the Stengal brothers to write jokes for him to appear funny. He sucks more than Mike Francesca.

This is some pretty serious meta-comedy. Maybe SXM are geniuses and we're the mooks.

While you listen to the show.

Yup....it can almost be entertaining to hear what a fucking idiot Opie is. But do you actually think Opie has talent?

I think he knows radio but is not a funny person, he never had to be.

If he knew radio, the show would not be the abortion it has become since Anthony left. That is his problem....he never had to be funny or have talent, he was riding on Anthony.

The show is not just boring right now, which would be expecting if he simply lacked humor. But he is working alongside a talented comic, yet he still shits all over any type of funny that is happening. His stammering, sniffing, and idiocy ruin the show.

At least he keeps trying (as uncomfortable as it can be at times) unlike the other guy who's show prep seems to consist of reading stormfront and googeling black crime rates.

Meh....it has not even been a year for Anthony. Anthony is doing a solo show, with occasional guests, so I am willing to cut some slack as far as not being all it could be.

With Tits, he still has all the same equipment, platform, JIMMY!!, and routine comedic guests for the same amount of time and the show is still pure shit. I would say that Anthonys show is more creative and entertaining. Typical idiotic comment is that its all racial rants....but when I do listen it is pretty benign. Maybe ketchup and kid talk is more suitable for some though.

There is ZERO humor from Opie and Jim.

There is ZERO humor from Opie and Jim

That's my main issue - Opie has made Jim unfunny

It really is painful to listen to. Chip (wassat?) is the easiest example....you will hear him do the character, and it literally gets zero response from Opie. Its even more obvious with uncle paul....and his humor in general. Opie just does not get it.

I get it you'll never like the guy and I'm not gonna try to make you, personal taste and what not. Carry on. I guess I just don't have as much emotions for this thing as you do.

And you're exactly the type of listener they're looking for. Enjoy the show.

One that doesn't take super serious? Thank you I will.

I would not mind the asshole if was actually funny or had any self awareness. Do you really get any type of entertainment form the current show?

I will even give that it is better than the majority of FM radio morning shows, but it still fucking sucks compared to what it was or what it could be.

I get it and understand where you're coming from. I feel the same at time, but it's hard when you lose one of the greatest talents in radio history. I tend to cut them more slack than I would any other show because of all the years of funny. Kind of like post Beatles albums.

what does this even mean "knows radio"?

explain yourself without rehashing played out, trite, meaningless old cliches that you heard from someone else.

Probably, somewhere. I just remember almost everything Sam handed him was progressively funnier/more rotten, and Bobo could not contain his glee with each one. It was one of the hardest times I've ever laughed at that young man. Bobo is a funny fucker.
