Sometimes I tune into O&J because Caitlyn Jenner hasn't been in the news for a few days and I want to hear someone talk about her. They never disappoint.

Well, why am I a bad person for thinking it's weird? I don't hate her, I just think it's strange (repeat x 50,000,000)

Where you at with The Caitlyn Jenner, /u/rahtin? We're just trying to figure this out.

When is Tits going to realize he's the only one who hasn't figured it out?

HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON! This hater thinks he is better than everyone else just hiding behind a user name on a social media site!

Haven't listened since ant left, but after reading this I feel sufficiently caught up.

Weird News!

Those madmen need to be stopped

It's a wild show

For no reason the other day I was thinking about a thread from a while back when Joe Cumia hate was big (he must have done something stupid), and the title of the thread was like "Joe Cumia is threatening to go to listeners houses and beat them up; this man is dancing on the razor's edge." I dont know why but it's still making me laugh.

You never know when the pendulum is going to swing the other way.

I see it more as a spin the bottle type of metaphor

I have never read a more concise summation of why something was "finished."

Fuck! based on this news I am getting my subscription back. Please tell me this bike shorts bit is going to be reoccurring.

I hear rumor that the ol' Opester is thinking of doing a Bike Shorts Wearing Contest where everyone in studio wears different pairs of bike shorts and let each other know which are the most and least comfortable.

Genius... Visual bits work great on an audio medium. I hope management will let them use the fishbowl for this and they can let 5 fans attend, so long as they pass a rigorous screening.

Flashback to the old old days.

They do the contest but instead it is guys in bike shorts who take a laxative and then ride stationary bikes till they shit themselves. Last one standing wins a hug from stalker Patti.

East side Dave pops in and rides the bike without a seat.

that sounds like something they'd legitimately do in the early xm days.

Don't forget da' opster will work in his creepy shit fetish. And want to sniff and taste the bike shorts for skid marks

Oh shit. I'm gonna have to go underground and find me a copy of this gem. I hope while I'm there the tunnel collapses and I die a quick death.

Now they're talking about the same heckler vs comic YouTube vid that The Bonfire discussed. A week later. With incorrect commentary. God.

that video is old so the only reason they'd be covering it is because the bonfire did it. opie is such a fucking copycat he really can't do anything original.

i'd love to hear these two breaks side-by-side, to illustrate the difference between a media destination and a comedy show.

tune in tomorrow, when opie discovers the underground subculture of black huey lewis fans.

Bill Nye the Science Guy should watch out cuz these guys got chemistry or somethin'.

knnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Tssssss good one chippa

its amazing that these 0 listener shit dicks get paid enough to live in midtown meanwhile the bonfire staff is probably getting collectively paid 10 grand between all of them for one week. if you ever needed a reason to not invest in this shit company, look no further than the millions being wasted on opie's shit show

Better than TACS, though. And comedians still want to come on Opie's show. Even friends of the Bonfire don't do Bonfire. Mark Normand who is a regular on LOS, has done Opie and Jim more than the Bonfire. They get more exposure , too.

does the bonfire even have guests on? Every episode I've listened to has just been jay and soder

nope, they have this thing called "respect" and "chemistry" between with/for each other and dont need 5 guests to fail at hiding the shit content behind the show

months because they can carry the show on their own

[deleted]

I agree with your point. All of the most successful radio programs never had guests and found great and long success with the 2 dudes talking formula.

They said first couple months would be guest free, then they start bringing on friends

nope sorry the tacs is tons better than O&J-i just have to tune out of ants race and politics and I typically enjoy the show where as opie ruins EVERYTHING by trying to remind people he exists and chiming in every five minutes to add house wife babble. the bonfire is what Ant and Jim could have been and if i had to rate all the shows I'd say O&J < O&A post twitter < LoS < TACS < Ron and Fez < Bonfire < classic O&A < Nopie shows

comedians still want to come on Opie's show.

Like Florentine and Sherrod? You're being generous with the term comedian.

What about Rich, Bobby, Mark Normand, Joe List, Dan Soder, and didn't Big Jay sub for Opie once?

they haven't even start having guests maybe that's why Normand hasn't been on. since no one's been on moron. also they don't even fucking need guests. opie and Jimmy rely on guests coming in because there is ZERO chemistry between them unlike oakerson and soder where there is an insane amount.

I wonder who has more listeners. Even people who don't like the show listen.

The sad part is.. Opie would not get the sarcasm behind this post.

Dammit. SiriusXM finally turned off my service since my credit card expired a few weeks ago, but they left on a few channels for a few days. This morning, everything was off, and I had to listen to local radio.

I can't believe I missed this. I hope nobody thinks I'm a hater because I didn't listen.

The virus has become the sewing circle

It went from bubonic plague to HIV in the past 5 years. This show is so defanged.

I'd say the plague is worse

And here I didn't think they could top yesterday's "finding a list of viral videos and Yahoo news headlines and discussing them for 90 seconds each" segments.

The show fucking blows.

I have no interest in it anymore. They should've quit after Ant got fired. It's like having a good reputation all your life and then touching a kid on your 80th birthday. Everything's ruined.

That's why we're giving Opie shit. Had he and Jim quit, maybe all the times Opie got trashed would've been thrown out the window seeing that he had something called balls.

My favorite moment was Jimmy having a funny little quip about getting a new apnea mask. "They couldnt decide if I was the adorable or cute size..I was right in between the two." Everyone laughs in the studio...and Opie goes, "What other sizes did they have?". The air went out of the studio for 2 mins as Jimmy tried to fumble and help field Opie's question. Ugh. Opie has no clue when to turn something into a bit, or when to just move forward.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

I really regret cancelling my subscription now!

You forgot to mention the riveting 30 minute conversation about chess. That wasn't boring at all.

so weird jimmys obsession with chess

Please do these every day

His parents live in North Jersey why the hell would they stay over? What the hell do two 70 year olds really want to spend a couple of days in Manhattan for? It's very Jim logic, I dont see my parents more because of a few hour round trip not by choice.

"What the hell do I know?" -Average Joe

(Does Jimmy doe Average Joe anymore?)

What they miss most without Anthony isn't that he was the funniest guy on the show and the only one who ever sounded knowledgeable about anything. Jim retreated and/or got conceited years ago, so Anthony was the only one left who had actual events in his life and would talk about them in a not entirely self-flattering way, like maybe he's the asshole in his own stupid stories.

Without that, what's left for the "most open and honest" show in radio? When they're off air Opie's just paying his wife's bills, doing corporate-weasel shit, squinting at numbahs trying to root out the hater conspiracy. Jim's getting medical advice from E!, planning bachelor shopping binges, and clawing sperm out of his ass. There's material there, but neither of them will use it. So...

@whatstrending

Again with bike shorts? Jesus Christ, Opie.

Oh man! Management better hold onto their hats with these guys.

It's just a hang, bruh!

And what's with the crooked, shaky, tight-focus camera-technique? F'ing enraging.

[deleted]

We're two guys...!

Who is their competition ?

What if Opie becomes a Daniel Plainview type character, and is a rich loon in his mansion, and Opie's son comes in and says he plans on making his OWN radio show.

"That makes you my competitor." He'll tell lil Hudson that he was an ORphan. "There is none of ME in youuu."

Whats even worse is that I've heard them do that first bit before

I read these transcripts from the show and hear them as if they were broadcasting in my car. You people are crazy good at capturing the shittiness of this show and I haven't listened in a solid 5-6 months now.

But did they do "color of the day"?

I would love a similar daily breakdown, I can't listen anymore because it's too shit. Baldopie is all that's keeping me entertained now.

I need to know how things work out with Jim's apartment. LOL LMFAO

[deleted]

Well, they're shitdicks, but they treat Artie Lange better than Howard Stern ever does. Howard fucking banned Artie from reappearing on the show, but the Baby Gorilla has appeared on a majority of Opie Radio's shows, including My Wife Hates Me and Race Wars.

whyd he get banned?

Fuck, I don't know. It's Hampton's Howie. He had Sharon Osborne, Julie Chen and Ellen DeGeneres (I don't mind her; Finding Nemo and all) on yesterday.

This is no different than the shows when Ant was there except Jim and Ant would make it humorous. That's what drew a lot of listeners in, that it was just regular, unscripted talk.

[deleted]

Still sounds better than TACS.

Is that show still on?

Supposedly they're moving to a studio in the city..

Not really saying much.

FAWK YEAH!!!!!!!!!

It's the bike seats that are bad for your balls and dick, not the shorts. But yeah, it was dull.

You know who else is wacky?

Please do this break down again, fantastic!

The OP is completely right and it was a terrible first segment (worst of the week) - but - obviously they were counting on Kurt Metzger being there for the first hour of the show.

Since Kurt arrived 1 hour late, they got stuck with the prep burger canned bits and terrible listener phone calls.

"HATERS"

eww.

Stop using the term "hater" you 14-year-old girl.

You don't see the irony in his title?

nope, they have this thing called "respect" and "chemistry" between with/for each other and dont need 5 guests to fail at hiding the shit content behind the show
