I'm honestly amazed people can still listen

I actually listened to maybe 3 out of 4 shows a week up until they went on vacation a couple of months ago. Not sure why I continued to tune in even though I knew I hated the show, maybe I felt like there would still be a couple of gems from Jimmy that would make it all worth it. Now that I'm done listening, it's really very liberating.

I quit back when they went to Montreal last year. It was weird at first as I had listened almost every single day for almost 10 years. But after the first few days it felt good. Listening to O&J would just make me angry with how hacky and boring it was. That coupled with the past year and a half of our hatred for Opie, I now find it hard to listen to even a couple of minutes in the clips that get posted here.

It was the same with me but with this place. I didn't listen to either show but I couldn't not come back. I think the longest I stayed away was a week. I'm glad I stuck around long enough to see this though.

Sure, it's not funny. But it's relatable, and I love relatable discussions because they're comforting. Comforting like mom's meatloaf, or my favorite pajamas, or a nice warm bath as I slowly open my wrists...

I've switched to NPR for my morning listening pleasure.

Before 7/4/14, it was like I was listening to my friends shoot the shit every morning. Now it's just awkward.

I usually turn it on randomly throughout the morning. After five minutes of listening I'll remember all of the entertaining podcasts that I have yet to listen to.

operative word: "can"

As I said before, I have a long commute to school everyday so it's something to listen to kill time. If someone could suggest another show daily that's free I would gladly give it a chance.

Note: I have recently been checking out kill tony with tony hinchclief and Brian redban

Start at Episode 1 and keep going. The Bonfire is objectively hilarious. I have to stifle laughter during every single episode.

It's what I imagine an Ant and Jimmy show would be like, with the brilliant improvisation and obscure music, TV, movie, and pop culture references. Except Soder and Jay's references are from the talking/color picture era.

I also recommend doing this with SModcast (and other podcasts I'll get fagged at if I mention), which will take months to get through. I've been hooked on it ever since it started airing on The Virus.

Have some respect for your self, man. Stop listening. Like im_not above you said, it's liberating.

Check out The Bonfire, with Soder and Big Jay.

I listen to The Bonfire, LoS, and Bennington when he has a guest on I like. The "nopies" on youtube are great too. That's about it though.

I just don't get the "kill time" or "background noise" thing. Don't you like music? Do you just have to listen to something you dislike because your ears constantly need filled with sounds of voices? Get audio books. Does it have to be a radio talk show or a messy podcast with comedians who don't know how to do talk radio? There's a whole world out there that isn't talk radio or podcasts. Go explore, you little scamp! :P

Haha I don't dislike it as much as most on here it's very cringe inducing which I happen to like. Jimmy's still one of my favorite comedians and I would listen to any medium he was staring in, if he left I would stop listening. It's just like Artie on Howard, I would never listen to that shit anymore without him on.

I loved Kill Tony until I was on it and got absolutely decimated by Tony, Greg Fitzsimmons and some broad. It's #104 from back in May. I seriously was a big fan until that happened. I just checked though and am thinking about listening to the newest one with Kirk Fox, he's my favorite guy on there because he gives legit constructive criticism and it's almost always smart and helpful.

Adam Carolla has a daily show, Im not sure how many others go daily though. I could always plug my shitty podcast Lookin GOOD Radio, but I started my own podcast on there called Live From The 405, where I do a solo show while sitting in LA traffic. (I have an hour + commute every day.)

Whenever I listen to that podcast.. I really like it... Then I daydream about trying to do it and I get a panic attack.

Good for you to give it a shot. I kinda stopped listening after hearing henchcliffs verbal crutches over and over...and over. It's been awhile so I cannot think of one off the top of my head. Also, whoever (redban) mixes the audio on that show just doesn't give a shit. At least with the first 75 or so episodes.

Thanks. Yeah Redban is awful, it sounds like shit and at least when I was still listening back in May/June, it took him WEEKS to put up an episode for some bizarre reason. He tried to give me "help" on one of my jokes, and his advice was totally wrong because the little piece of it I'd been doing for weeks and it always got a laugh, like 5 or 6x I'd done it. (The "sorry" thing) He is such a dope, last week on Rogan he thought regular freight trains had a "deadly 3rd rail," that was one of about 12 completely retarded questions/comments he had in that episode. One stupid motherfucker.

Someday I'm gonna go back there like Luke Skywalker in Return Of The Jedi and burn those fuckers down. I went through hypnosis after that to cure me of my (really bad) stage fright, and it fucking worked. Can you believe that shit? That's how pissed off I was after that. In the end, that appearance really helped me. I got considerably better (because I was 90x more comfortable on stage) almost immediately after.

Oh come on, hypnosis worked? Fez?

I'd imagine the best thing someone could do is just totally shit the bed, have every worst nightmare come true on stage and get through it. It'd probably be nice to just get out of the way.

Well, anyway... good luck bro!

I swear to god, it worked. And I am SO not one of those guys, I basically did it as a goof ("fa da GOOF!") and was 99% sure it was gonna be total horse shit. I felt NOTHING when I did it, too. Lo and behold, a few days later it made a drastic difference. Could not fucking believe it. (Id been on stage over 80x at that point, I still wasn't over it. Hypnosis worked.)

Damn dude that's crazy! That takes some serious balls to go on there, Was the comedy patriot still there when you went on?

Im the first guy on there. There's about 9 callbacks to me throughout the show, that's how fucking bad it went. Patriot was not, but I've seen him there a bunch of times. I really hate the scene there, there's not a friendly vibe like most of the other clubs out here. Trying to to come up as a stand up there is like going to Cobra Kai from Karate Kid to learn karate. Unfunny people just LIVE there, I think they think they'll get funny through sheer osmosis or something because they're at the Comedy Store. Somebody got shot in the head there Tues night and died, did you see that? It was like a mob hit. Right on the patio.

I ran into Fitz like 3 weeks ago at American Comedy Co in San Diego, I swear to god. At one point it was just him & I sitting at a table (we were there an hour early for a thing) and he's like "Where do I know you from?" He was like "I don't know why we were so mean to you, I felt terrible after that one." He said he's not crazy about doing that show because he doesn't like tearing down other comics, esp up and comers. I was like "Yeah, I almost quit after that." He's one of my favorite comics, it was cool to finally get to hang with him/talk to him for any sort of length of time. Nice fella. (TINY little fucker) Imgur

That's awesome man ya fitz is a stand up guy that's cool he stepped up and said something. I liked it a lot more when comedy patriot was on I got hooked for alittle while after seeing him on getting Doug with high. But I'll for sure check out your episode that sounds wild.

Thanks. Yeah, it was an experience, that's for sure. Im listening to the newest episode with Kirk Fox, MAN they have to get that Regan guy out of there, he is fucking awful. He's worse than Redban even.

Not only that, that cocksucker takes the stool that should be on the stage for you to put your water/notes on so he can sit on it and sing horrendously un-funny songs to "warm up the crowd" with. Then he sits there and takes pot shots at the comics on stage who already have enough to deal with, that guy is a talentless faget and a fucking weirdo. He hasn't shut the fuck up for this entire episode.

Im listening to this, these comics are eating their BALLS, and they're being so nice/supportive to em. I still don't get why they let me have it so unmercifully, I've heard probably 20 episodes of this show and I don't think I've ever heard them be more relentless with anyone than they were with me, what the fuck. I wish fucking Kirk was there when I did it, Jesus. This is ridiculous. My jokes weren't even that bad, Im better than have these dumb fucks. And this black chick on the show is just awful. I guess it's company policy to have one unfunny cunt on the crew at all times. God this is getting me angry.

That video he made of Vos's gift for his kid completely backfired. Instead of getting a laugh like he wanted people made fun of him for being too stupid to assemble a children's toy, and for shitting on Vos for the kind gesture. I remember Bonnie was pissed at him in particular.

He was such an ungrateful man.

oh that's original, bonnie mad at stupid vos, jesus christ stop listening already

I think he means Bonnie was mad at Tits

Ya blew it

Lol

It's like when Vos and Bonnie bought his kid a gift and he not only made a shitty instagram video bitching about it, but also bitched about it on the show the next day.

If you're 60 years old and assembling childrens toys is difficult for you, kill yourself.

What the fuck you doing pal? Don't drag Vos and Bonnie into this. They're great when they're stupid and just being themselves. Opie is a malignant cunt who is NEVER smart or funny or likeable.

You be more careful with your comparisons.

Edit: nevermind, I got the wrong end of the stick I think.

Hahahahaha Stupid.

I nearly flipped my desk when Trump Jr. started in on the topic.

Ethan Hawke should be their next producer.

That Stangel cunt was insufferable here.

ME: I've got fricken arthritis now from ALL THOSE SCREWS! Stangel: YEAH MY HANDS HURT TOO WHEN I MADE A THING. SEE? I'M HUMAN AND I'M NOT THAT FAT GUYS.

I would pay money to watch Pete Davidson host a Fred Flintstangle roast.. provided I get some of that sweet, Jewy crackling.

Ater the bose head set half hour yesterday I almost called Sirius to cancel, I will be letting my subscription lapse at the end of the month. That Robert Kelly dude just isn't funny and him and Opie talking about headsets made me want to drive into a fucking pole. They need to get another talent in there, or they need to get rid of Opie and bring in somebody to compliment Jimmy. The show just kind of sucks any more.

Bobby is probably a nice enough guy but he's just not funny in any way. I listened to his podcast a couple of weeks ago and he was giving a big speech about how podcasting and acting were just something he did on the side and how he's really just a comic.

It's always the worst comedians who act like they're artists.

does Bobby still talk about his kid?

"Dude, when you have a kid, your life CHANGES, dude"

no shit, fatty

He's a lying, pre-planned, hacky, narcissistic, cornball bitchAssNigga and only he finds his stories/anecdotes interesting. He fuckin ssttttttinks at being self aware. Fuck him.

He's not loying

He did this about two years ago too. Think it was about building something with legos for Bam's kids. No one cares about your stupid kids. But he says he only talks about them when its interesting. Yea right. Glad the show passed me by

They're seriously talking about this? I tapped out a while back. I got pissed off at Erik for saying "it's not a morning zoo" on Twitter so I came here to see how it's going, and HOLY SHIT this is Jocktober-level, Morning Zoo, sub-Maxwell level radio. Ick!

douche or dressing, douche or dressing

actually that's probably too edgy at this point

I'd rather hear Wheel of Meat and the Brain Cell Stimulator.

Where's PFG-sciple!

Opie was so excited to get the gift. "THIS IS A BIT! I CAN MAKE THIS INTO A BIT LYNSI! ARENT YOU PROUD OF ME?!"

"Yes honey. You aren't a zero talent who gives me an embarrassingly pathetic fucking once every couple months.

ME: I KNEW IT

How is a man who has trouble reading suppose to follow step by step picture instructions?

And next up, color of the day!

ME: I know I've told this sorry before, but fuck it. So we were driving up to the Cape and I swear to god the dj had a phone in topic "what's your favorite ice cream flavor" and took calls until every ice cream flavor imaginable was said! It wasn't like a contest or anything, just call up and tell me your favorite ice cream flavor. We must've listened to it for 45 minutes in awe that this was an actual bit

WE HEARD YOU!!!

alright Jimmy Too

The contrast is stark. Zits is flying drones and Tits is too retarded to wipe his own ass. Theyre perfect for each other and need to get back together

no, they dont. its over. accept the death.

it's never over. these are 2 stupid radio jocks that created one of the greatest radio shows of all time, while letting the retards on twitter and wackbag and this subreddit dictate their careers. enough of a backlash and they could bring back the old show at some point in the future, but faggot Zits had to do the greggshells episode to appease his semi-retarded ass lickers on the TACS subreddit, while Tits coninues to be Tits and not make an appearance on TACS. if the fans focused their anger towards putting these 2 back together, it could be done and it's the only way fans like me wouldnt be angry anymore. The other fans that exist only to suck ants dick dont want the reunion, but I think theres more fans like me that want a reunion then the Opie apologists and Ant ball washers

You're still in Stage 1 of loss and grief, denial. Get mad so you can quickly move onto the bargaining and depression. After that, its acceptance and you'll feel much better.

They will never work together again. Maybe do a 1 off interview on a shitcast together or run into each other in public, but they will never, and I mean NEVER be coworkers again.

And you listened to every minute evidently.

Boring is one thing, but the worst part is he really thinks it's compelling and entertaining. He thinks he's got people on the edge of their seat. You can hear it in his voice:

I'm liking the new direction. It could be a bridge building thing with Howard too. One hour of opie and stern talking about cats and crabs.

Then we all can be lobotomised

You're a fucking liar! Opie has told U.S. many times that he only brings up his kids if someone brings up a conversation about kids. And he only talks about them for a couple minutes.

I stopped listening, finally. I'll find a clip here and there if anything happens worth listening to. Opie getting called out by a caller, something along those lines. I listened for Jim but he isnt the same. It's weird. Watching him on Ants show is tough too. They need another comic that jims use to when he's on, like bobby or colin. I just listen to the "nopies" on youtube now, its great.

When he does that the toy becomes tax-deductible.

Replay?

I'm sure Erock, Roland and the Stangels are going to be prominently involved in the pizza topping discussion. So at least we won't have to hear Tit's much.

Add Donald Trump Jr and Taylor Swift's opening act to the brew of shit. Im sure Patrick Swayze's brother was available today, make the call!

I loved that Bobby called tits out yesterday for being cheap enough to wear his wife's shoes. And then today he tells the audience that he throws toys away because he couldn't assamble them correctly. What a fucking idiot. Must be horrible having tits as a dad who can't read directions.

The talk about the toy ended after Normand came in, so it was about 25 minutes in. Still far too long, but not 60 mins.

He brought it up even with Trump Jr though.

True but for literally 2 minutes.

oh that's original, bonnie mad at stupid vos, jesus christ stop listening already

He was such an ungrateful man.
