Why is Florentine more tolerable and actually enjoyable on Anthonys show?

Maybe cuz he was allowed to talk to another human being as a participant in a conversation and not just rattle off quick opinions from a child's rad list.

Because Opie mirrors all of Florentine's personality traits when he's in studio making it an unbearable experience.

and also when he's not in studio

He even changes his voice. He's been doing it for years. He also would always talk about how similar their lives are. It's really adorable.

"Beautiful"

Because Opie is obsessed with being cool around Florentine and drains all the funny

It doesn't just drain the funny. It's actually bizarre and uncomfortable to listen to.

"Jim Florentine is killing it for us today"

Come on now, let's be fair to Opie. He drains all the funny regardless who's in studio!

Because Anthony doesn't turn him into a human version of buzzfeed.

"Jim Florentine Made A List Of Things He Can't Do Because He's Not Four! Number 7 will make you HOWL!"

Because Opie forces him into bits Florentine did on his podcasts... Ant just talked and had a conversation with him

Because Anthony treat him as human, and not an idol. Fucking hate when Jim is on Opie Raqio, ooooh, i can't help but to talk like you when you're in, oooooh, when im about to do something i always think what would Jim think about this? Would he think this is cool or not? oooohh.........etc.etc.etc.

Thank god i don't listen to Opie Raqio anymore, i always enjoys listening to Jim when he's on Lazlow's Show and now Anthony's show. Fuck Opie.

Btw, latest Anthony's show with Jim, at around 1:49:00, i was crying my balls off listening to that shit. Highly recommended. (And notice how Ant talks to him like a human being, not like the viral sensation hunter Opie when he tried to get some juicy news to post on his channel when Jim is fresh of a divorce.)

Because you don't hear Opie's voice

Same reason that Opie was more tolerable when it was Anthony's show

I was fascinated to learn that florentine never did cocaine.....he has so many stories about being a party guy, that was a shocker.

I'm trying to remember an uncomfortable moment of Opie trying to mimic Florentine's style and Jim just didn't go with it at all. It was something having to do with your girlfriend's shit, like "I kinda wanna know what my girlfriend's logs look like" or something, and Florentine was just like ".....what?...." and Opie bailed quickly. Anyone remember when this was?

He's not, he sucks everywhere

Because you're delusional.

What do you mean? Florentine is cool.

You're just being negative for no reason

Lol @ that hyperbole

Really? Florentine is intolerable on other shows? Or do you just mildly disagree with his hatred for ketchup?

You must be new here.

I'm well aware that this is a den for undersexed, low-friend-count people to vent their frustrations.
