Everyone here always says that, but.....I think the ingredient that always made O&A great was the staff, more than Opie steering the ship. Sam, Danny, Than, D-boi, Travis, Steve C., Ben, etc., all of whom helped to compile awesome material for the show, were of far greater importance than Opie ever was. I think that is the missing link that explains why Anthony hasn't done anything too exciting on his own.
Pick literally anyone else that isn't a douche-chilling, lying, ego-maniac that can't take a joke, who hasn't formed an original opinion, and who can have an intellectual and/or emotional response
there's probably 2000 morning radio people that could do it and not be constantly upset that they aren't the center of the comedy universe. Opie is such a black hole of humor Ive never even understood how he's made it this far... oh yeah, he wouldn't have without ant and Jimmy.
Exactly. Can anyone here seriously envision Opie being on TACS? Why? What role would he perform? We all know him to be a bitchy unfunny moron who nobody likes. The only thing he could do is carry on clucking about documentaries. He's an awful presenter.
No, this is nonsense.
That being said, I would love to see Tits On TACS because we could continue to rip his awfulness apart and now with hrs of footage we can photoshop for our amusement.
Anthony and Keith know this. It's just them being proactive in marketing their own show. They need the publicity where ever they can get it.
It's not 'newfags' (ugh, that word stinks), it's people who have been uninterested since the show went to shit, coming back now that something interesting is happening.
I'm a fag. I want to see Opie and Anthony back together. I'm positively horny about the unlikely prospect of this happening as a result of this most recent drama.
I know, it makes no sense. Why on God's little Earth would some upwardly mobile, homosexual like myself want this? I confess—and this might shock many of you—I am an Opie & Anthony fan. I really enjoyed the Opie & Anthony show.
I'll be sucking dicks in the men's bathroom at the Colonia North Service Area rest stop on the Garden State Parkway from approximately 2–4:30 PM this afternoon. Feel free to drop by and fuck my throat, bois. :)
Nothing against Jimmy, but I usually enjoyed the first hour of the show the most when sleepy Jimmy didn't talk much or at all. I get that it's all about hating Opie now, but O&A really had great on air chemistry.
And if If you listen to the most legendary shows / long bits, many times Jimmy wasn't on at all on those days. It was some other comic.
I don't get why. Go back and listen to any show; Opie never brings a thing. Show me one time where Opie brought something funny to a conversation that wasn't a board op sound (I'm actually serious, I'm a late blooming listener and don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the show and if there's a good example of what Opie brings that's worth it, I'd love to hear it).
I'm all in with a Jim and Ant possibility but Sam does Opie's job better than he ever did. The only thing a true O&A reunion would bring is old listeners who are grabbed by the return of the name. Content wise it wouldn't be anything too special, at least nothing that would be contributed by Opie.
Just remember that Ope had nothing to do with why the show was great and well-liked. It's easy to omit his incompetence through nostalgia glasses but any amount of captaining and charisma couldn't make him a worthwhile addition anymore.
Yeah, but when Sam starts trying to "riff" with Jim and trade jokes with him...it just falls so flat. Need another comedian in there with Jimmy. Jimmy can only make fun of Sam for so long each day.
I agree, but at least Sam tries to throw him a bone instead of black balling him completely. Makes me wonder if Sam will ever get annoyed with Jim's characters down the line like Opie did.
And then he attempted to make the rest of the segment about himself. Steamrolling some hilarious Patrice lines like the nigger farts causing global warming one.
That's not entirely fair. Before he became insufferable Dad Opie, he'd often be the only one to check guests that Ant & Jimmy were fawning over or pathetically trying to m'lady themselves into pity fucks from.
But you're right, current Opie has "passed the show by."
2006 Opie sucked too. He was alright at times before they went to xm and he gained this inexplicable confidence in the vacuous shit that comes to his mind.
With Opie gone and Sam in, look forward to hours of Uncle Paul and Chip. Sam is going to pretend that it doesnt bug the shit out of him because he knows that was a huge bone of contention with Opie/Jim. Listen to his fake ass laughter every time Jimmy goes into his fawkin pedo voices or sumpthin.
That's the only thing that I'll miss about Opie....he was the only one to keep that funny-once bullshit in check. Jimmy's gripes have included not having more porn stars on the the show and a problem with his schizo voices on the show. Both of those, along with Sam being co-host, shows that Jim is content to ride his morning radio show off of a cliff also. Call in and get life advice from a teenaged alcoholic making funny voices. It's gold!
I would love it if Scorch and Opie did a show together. Opie would constantly try to big-time him, even though they're basically the same guy and you know Scorch would eventually get the best of Opie in his own retarded way.
It's baffling to me that anyone here would want to see or hear Opie in anything other than the obituaries or a news segment about has-been shock jocks.
On another note. What's Hollywood's most flaming born again liberal Bill Burr and his token sassy wife's take on all this? Is he gonna side with Opie or Jim?
I think Bill hasnt thought of either of them since the moment he left the Sirius building after his last appearance. 99.99% of the country doesnt give a fuck. Its us mental midgets that do. And just LOOK at us.
How is Burr being painted as a liberal? He's more Alex Jones than anything. He's on all of that Fed Reserve and FEMA camp shit. He said he typically votes third party because he doesn't like either... I mean, what the fuck is liberal about that? He married a black woman so he's a liberal?
I want Ant to keep doing his embarrassingly bad show, Opie to start an even worse podcast show, and by some miracle, have Jim and Sam achieve massive crossover stardom the likes not even Howard Stern ever achieved.
Then visit this sub daily for snippets of Opies podcast and Ants cable access show as they try to pretend it doesn't bother them
For some weird reason that show doesn't work for me. Ron doesn't need another comedian to work with as he's funnier by himself. Ron 2011-2013 just fucking with Fez and Pep etc is great. Stick him in a room with other comics to host a show and he's lost.
Well, "forces" doesn't really make sense considering you don't have to listen as you're a free human. Bennington is a very different show from R&F, and I think you need to appreciate it's an entirely new entity. I don't like it, so I don't listen. I'll gladly listen to old R&F though!
Nailed it. Ron is much funnier when he's the only dog in the room. He's not quite as good sharing the mic time. He turns into an interviewer, which isnt as fun. Look how funny Ron still is, with just his daughter off the street. Sure, she is terrible...but it shows how good Ronnie is.
What kind of fucktard would want to listen to the ear-cancer that is tits Hughes just so you could come back to this toilet of a message board/online forum to make jokes about how much he sucks?! Fucking Christ, seek out a little joy in life or just hang yourself already
the one thing I've agreed with Opie on is that tweet that Jimmy should have stayed with ant if he had any balls. I'd love to see Jim and AC back together. maybe he can at least guest once in a while?
Oh sure I'd like nothing more than Jimmy and Ant doing more shows. I don't think it would have helped Jimmy if he'd followed Ant to tacs, but I don't think there'll be anything stopping Jimmy doing more Ant afternoon shows on tacs, and it will be very revealing to see the effect Opie leaving has on whether or not they're allowed Ant in studio at Sirius, or as a phoner etc.
It would be funny if Opie and Ant both struggled with their respective shows while Sammy leads S&J to the big time... oh, and turning Denny into a celebrity. That would do nicely.
Anthony is already struggling with his show and Opie is totally void of talent or any redeeming qualities. Opie can only succeed on the back of others' talent.
I think Jim could do a pretty decent job of deflecting/distracting Ant if he goes off on race stuff if he has officially a more prominent position on the show. I don't think that would be difficult for him or Sam, I see it more as a habit that Ant needs to break.
For comedy, yes of course. Ant & Jim w/ Sam would definitely be funnier. But for tension and cringeworthy awkwardness, nothing would ever top an O&A reunion.
What you guys forget is that Opie can change. He did 20 years of radio with 2 guys who never had the balls to speak out on how they truly feel. Imagine fucken that.
You can always learn to take a beating and thats his problem, being insecure.
I would say, I used to be abit like Opie with the walking on greggshells, I took shit personally when people goofed and bashed and as Bob Kelly once said to him "jesus christ you go straight for the jugular" cause he cant handle it.
So I actually learned through O&A and this shithole, dont fucken be like Opie. What a boring cunt that dude must be to hang with.
But yeah, imagine in those 20 years of radio, of Ant and Jim went behind the scenes after the show and told him to losen up or that he have to learn to not be so insecure.
Its fucken spineless what they did, for 20 years. Ant is talking now like he hated Opie all the time and had to shut his mouth to have a job, if they just talked about it and explained it to him, it wouldve been so much easier for all 3.
I remember when ant got fired and the worm tried to explain what "walking on eggshells meant", but he fucken tapped out and just said "its... youre the boss" and they spoke about how he didnt want to be the boss its just the role he took automatically, and steered away from the fact that eggshells means he's an insecure dude and you cant joke with him cause he takes it personally.
So, I would blame Ant and Jim on what Opie have become, cause they shouldve talked to him years ago. And if that meant not having a gig, then go somewhere else, you still have talent, thats what made the show great(for its time).
But to be honest, even though I cringe at Opie 95% of the time listening to any O&A show, I still enjoy listening to old ~2007 shows. I started listening like 5-6 years ago, downloaded old shows for my shitty job and 1h commute, spent 8-10h everyday listening to 2004 before they started the walks to XM, I laughed and laughed.
Now, when we all know them and their lives like stalkers I hate all 3 off them, but the first year of listening really made my life at work easy.
In a way opie being rejected by Sirius and re joining Anthony re-establishes the name and makes Anthony more legitimate in the eyes of guests, advertisers, and the industry. Anthony would be just be part of another post-firing revamped show rather than an ousted racist misogynist individual. He would make more money and not have to fight for guests or exposure anymore.
I think he's reached his peak exposure as things are, he can't grow it anymore, he's not going to get any other big names joining, but opie brings the name back.
We finally get what we want after 4 years and you fucking fags want the comedy cancer back?!?! Opie deserves alot worse than firing for ruining so much good radio throughout the years. Anything he is apart of I won't be.
The show is good with Jim and Sam (but it's debatable what passes for good these days, am I right gang). I just hope some friendly conflict arises because, more-than-listenable as it is, the Morning Jam sounds too much like "two guys constantly agreeing with each other but ironically pretending they're not" for my liking.
But they're like two lovestruck slaves who managed to escape the plantation together so it's only natural they're giddy and relaxed. Aside from healing all wounds, the passage of time also creates frustration and monotony, which hopefully makes the show even better and a little less saccharine.
The only people who really want that are the stupid trucker fans that still think Opie played a role in the show and isn't completely insane. Even the people on TACS Facebook page agree that Opie is a piece of shit and that Norton/Sam/other comics are the ones that should do the show with Ant. If Zac Amico was on Ant's show at least once a week I'd still be subscribing.
opie may not be funny, but he knows what is funny. Theres a reason the show rivaled Stern. The formula worked, PERIOD. OnA did many amazing shows without norton using instead patrice, quinn, kelly and even vos, because they know what the fuck they are doing, PERIOD. They don't need the worm, but you are lying if you say opie and anthony don't have a chemestry that works, PERIOD.
Ant wasn't exactly hilarious the last year or so of O&A. He basically became a political commentator who would throw in the occasional joke, so I don't think there's ever any hope of recreating the past. I think a Norton/Roberts show is the best we can hope for.
You all know you'd watch if they did a reunion show, I can't understand not wanting this to happen at least once. And let's face it, none of you are watching Ant's show anyway so at the very worst it will be business as usual.
I'm pretty sure Opie came up with Box of Cocks and Moustraps for Stalker Patti.
In a new environment, Opie might start that kind of stuff up again. When in doubt, play to your strengths: hackey (but funny) radio stunts were Opie's strength.
Pretty much because you're delusional to think that Ant could come back without Opie. The biggest reason they would even think of bringing him back is to potentially regain some listeners and up their numbers with some sort of redemption story. Without Opie how exactly would they frame that to bring people back or gain some listeners? "Hey that guy we fired is back with his own show alongside his comedian friend Jim Norton." The biggest draw would come from a "the infamous duo is back" narrative.
opie, when he's on his meds, gives the show direction and purpose. Its unfortunate he didnt recognize his place when Jimmy and Ant went into riff mode but it seems like he could be trained to do his job and then back off when the time is right.
No, this is madness. I know we've had some fun in this sub but wanting Opie back is going too far. The only place he belongs is doing a podcast alone from his bathroom, speaking in hushed tones about literally nothing in between bouts of soft womanly weeping.
I like hearing Opie not being able to read a basic sentence everyday for years and years and years. It makes me feel ultimately superior.
I like hearing Ant hate him with niceness. I like Jimmy being a cum gargling faggot. I like AJ Poopieshitz because he likes tits (which is perfect because he'll be working for Tits)
In theory yes. But I don't see how that would ever happen. Sirius isn't going to give Anthony hundreds of thousands of dollars to be on Sam and Jim's show. And they probably wouldn't allow him to keep his podcast network. The only chance I see is that Opie and Anthony could get back together. Which is also highly unlikely. But I would absolutely like to see that happen.
As much as I hate Anthony now and opie, I would like to see them patch things up. When they got along is when they made some good radio… Or maybe not. They have hated each other since 1999. Anthony is miserable now and he's taking it out on black people really hard… I think if he and Greg made up, it would make 830 be funny again or whatever…idk
I know we're all excited at the release of the torpid sloth in to the wild but let's take a minute and remember that Anthony hasn't exactly been great the past couple of years either. I'm more excited for the "Jim and Sam Show" than the "Anthony rants about how black people are terrible and cuckold Jim sits by yessing him to death Show"
Ant and Jim "in the back of the class" as Jim puts it, with Sam the pot-stirring everyman driving the bus. It would be perfect. Sam would happily fill that role that Opie had in O&A&J that made it so fantastic, with none of the emotional baggage that Greggorio had. Sam would actually be better than Ope ever was.
Jim and Sam is good. Fuck Anthony. He had his chance. If he was smart, he would have pulled his balding head out of his ass and realised the shit he says is ruining his career. If he did this, he would be in a great position right now to get his job back....but he didnt. So fuck him.
Where the hell did you get that conclusion from? This sub has perfectly made it clear the best thing we want to happen to opie is his entire radio career is ended abruptly. Like there shouldn't even be one big farewell show where he has a bunch of comedians giving him fakeass praise
and it would just turn into a nopie show, if jim doesnt want to be seen as a sidekick then he'll stick with sam. i think ant would make the show worse, its just been too long since he's done good radio, his last couple years on OnA were less about being funny and more about raging about politics and black people, its so refreshing to listen to jim and sam because they are always trying to be funny, not a CNN host.
This happens with bands all the time. What is so dumb about this is they all won't talk to each other directly. Opie, Anthony, and Jim are at there best when they are together. They all played a role in making great radio for years. To all the fans, it isn't going to be the same unless they all get back together.
The only capacity i would accept Opie back in is while Sam, Jim and Ant are doing a show Opie is caged up in a corner with a microphone 5 feet away from the cage. so that we can faintly hear his whimpers while the new show flourishes. And as for his contract he gets pre o&j Sam money
I don't want Opie and Anthony again but it would be in those best interest career wise I would imagine. Won't happen though, In not big on Sam Roberts never was never will. Jim I hope continues to be Jim.
Probably cuz the Op-ster is the funniest man alive! And the glue that held Ant and lil yimmy together! Also, happy "Say The Opposite of What You Mean" day!
I'd like for Opie and Anthony to get back together but I think too much dirty laundry has been put out there between the both of them for them to ever effectively work together as a team.
No. Anthony and Jim each laugh at everything the other says, whether it's funny or not; which is poor radio.
Opie and Anthony, despite the fact that they despised one another for three quarters of their partnership, had the best chemistry of any two broadcasters I can think of. They were the show, the reason to tune in, from beginning to end.
If I had to choose, I'd rather have that than a show which is merely funny.
I didn't say funny wasn't funny; I said funny didn't always make for good radio. What Opie & Anthony brought was, at its best, better and more compelling than any radio I've ever heard.
If you don't understand this, then you were never a fan of the show, you were just a fan of something you heard on it; something that had nothing to do with what made the show great.
I agree with you 150% on your 2nd sentence. I also know Opie pulled the breaks all the time during funny bits. Over the last few years his ego and emotions have been a cancer. He implode the show we all love because his voices said cause everyone knew it was over. So yes, the O&A history was great, but he should made to sit in egotistical shit pile and left to die.
It would be funny if Opie and Ant both struggled with their respective shows while Sammy leads S&J to the big time... oh, and turning Denny into a celebrity. That would do nicely.
Exactly. Can anyone here seriously envision Opie being on TACS? Why? What role would he perform? We all know him to be a bitchy unfunny moron who nobody likes. The only thing he could do is carry on clucking about documentaries. He's an awful presenter.
No, this is nonsense.
That being said, I would love to see Tits On TACS because we could continue to rip his awfulness apart and now with hrs of footage we can photoshop for our amusement.
Anthony and Keith know this. It's just them being proactive in marketing their own show. They need the publicity where ever they can get it.

I'm a fag. I want to see Opie and Anthony back together. I'm positively horny about the unlikely prospect of this happening as a result of this most recent drama.
I know, it makes no sense. Why on God's little Earth would some upwardly mobile, homosexual like myself want this? I confess—and this might shock many of you—I am an Opie & Anthony fan. I really enjoyed the Opie & Anthony show.
I'll be sucking dicks in the men's bathroom at the Colonia North Service Area rest stop on the Garden State Parkway from approximately 2–4:30 PM this afternoon. Feel free to drop by and fuck my throat, bois. :)

3 SociallyAwkwardRyan 2016-09-30
But the Opie and Anthony show DOES NOT WORK with 2/3rds. Jimmy would not join two jobless losers.
3 oklolol 2016-09-30
It wasn't working for years up until the klansman was lynched., People seem to forget that.
2 Superbad415 2016-09-30
was that a joke?
1 mr__hat 2016-09-30
Nothing against Jimmy, but I usually enjoyed the first hour of the show the most when sleepy Jimmy didn't talk much or at all. I get that it's all about hating Opie now, but O&A really had great on air chemistry.
And if If you listen to the most legendary shows / long bits, many times Jimmy wasn't on at all on those days. It was some other comic.
26 bornrevolution 2016-09-30
I don't get why. Go back and listen to any show; Opie never brings a thing. Show me one time where Opie brought something funny to a conversation that wasn't a board op sound (I'm actually serious, I'm a late blooming listener and don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the show and if there's a good example of what Opie brings that's worth it, I'd love to hear it).
I'm all in with a Jim and Ant possibility but Sam does Opie's job better than he ever did. The only thing a true O&A reunion would bring is old listeners who are grabbed by the return of the name. Content wise it wouldn't be anything too special, at least nothing that would be contributed by Opie.
Just remember that Ope had nothing to do with why the show was great and well-liked. It's easy to omit his incompetence through nostalgia glasses but any amount of captaining and charisma couldn't make him a worthwhile addition anymore.
5 KnickedUp 2016-09-30
Yeah, but when Sam starts trying to "riff" with Jim and trade jokes with him...it just falls so flat. Need another comedian in there with Jimmy. Jimmy can only make fun of Sam for so long each day.
4 bornrevolution 2016-09-30
I agree, but at least Sam tries to throw him a bone instead of black balling him completely. Makes me wonder if Sam will ever get annoyed with Jim's characters down the line like Opie did.
3 americanmook 2016-09-30
yeah, but now you say I hope sam has a good line. With opie now you say, why is this faggot talking.

Doesn't count, Patrice told him to say it.
2 lilshop1986 2016-09-30
That's not entirely fair. Before he became insufferable Dad Opie, he'd often be the only one to check guests that Ant & Jimmy were fawning over or pathetically trying to m'lady themselves into pity fucks from.
But you're right, current Opie has "passed the show by."
2 majestik6 2016-09-30
That's a good point. A 3rd mic could be helpful, but 2016 Opie is an unfunny boob. 2006 Opie was occasionally funny.
The show needs new blood.
2 strappingyoungladdie 2016-09-30
2006 Opie sucked too. He was alright at times before they went to xm and he gained this inexplicable confidence in the vacuous shit that comes to his mind.
2 DepartmentOfEvil 2016-09-30
The Slave Girl bit when Louis CK was on was pretty funny. He's had some decent bit ideas.
1 bornrevolution 2016-09-30
Yeah I suppose that is true. He did have some great ideas for good show material from time to time.
2 dmoore13 2016-09-30
When they were watching the "So Cold In The D" video, they figured out that the singer's name was "T-Baby". Opie chimed in "as in tenth baby".
Pretty funny.
1 bornrevolution 2016-09-30
i was listening to the Opie vs Sal stuff last night and i actually enjoyed what he brought to that show. he had a lot more energy back then.
i think ant getting fired took away half his mojo because he just sounds like a copse now.

With Opie gone and Sam in, look forward to hours of Uncle Paul and Chip. Sam is going to pretend that it doesnt bug the shit out of him because he knows that was a huge bone of contention with Opie/Jim. Listen to his fake ass laughter every time Jimmy goes into his fawkin pedo voices or sumpthin.
That's the only thing that I'll miss about Opie....he was the only one to keep that funny-once bullshit in check. Jimmy's gripes have included not having more porn stars on the the show and a problem with his schizo voices on the show. Both of those, along with Sam being co-host, shows that Jim is content to ride his morning radio show off of a cliff also. Call in and get life advice from a teenaged alcoholic making funny voices. It's gold!

I would love it if Scorch and Opie did a show together. Opie would constantly try to big-time him, even though they're basically the same guy and you know Scorch would eventually get the best of Opie in his own retarded way.
17 TedsEmporiumEmporium 2016-09-30
It's baffling to me that anyone here would want to see or hear Opie in anything other than the obituaries or a news segment about has-been shock jocks.

16 9NepaliRed6 2016-09-30

On another note. What's Hollywood's most flaming born again liberal Bill Burr and his token sassy wife's take on all this? Is he gonna side with Opie or Jim?
22 jaghutgathos 2016-09-30
I think Bill hasnt thought of either of them since the moment he left the Sirius building after his last appearance. 99.99% of the country doesnt give a fuck. Its us mental midgets that do. And just LOOK at us.

Ant, Jimmy & Ronnie B
9 Dawgsie 2016-09-30
For some weird reason that show doesn't work for me. Ron doesn't need another comedian to work with as he's funnier by himself. Ron 2011-2013 just fucking with Fez and Pep etc is great. Stick him in a room with other comics to host a show and he's lost.
5 bonniesretardsister 2016-09-30
Better than the hole he forces on us now.
4 Dawgsie 2016-09-30
Well, "forces" doesn't really make sense considering you don't have to listen as you're a free human. Bennington is a very different show from R&F, and I think you need to appreciate it's an entirely new entity. I don't like it, so I don't listen. I'll gladly listen to old R&F though!
0 bonniesretardsister 2016-09-30

Nailed it. Ron is much funnier when he's the only dog in the room. He's not quite as good sharing the mic time. He turns into an interviewer, which isnt as fun. Look how funny Ron still is, with just his daughter off the street. Sure, she is terrible...but it shows how good Ronnie is.
9 youraveragejoseph 2016-09-30

1 zipp0raid 2016-09-30
the one thing I've agreed with Opie on is that tweet that Jimmy should have stayed with ant if he had any balls. I'd love to see Jim and AC back together. maybe he can at least guest once in a while?
1 Lobstrich 2016-09-30
Oh sure I'd like nothing more than Jimmy and Ant doing more shows. I don't think it would have helped Jimmy if he'd followed Ant to tacs, but I don't think there'll be anything stopping Jimmy doing more Ant afternoon shows on tacs, and it will be very revealing to see the effect Opie leaving has on whether or not they're allowed Ant in studio at Sirius, or as a phoner etc.
4 Tom_Stall 2016-09-30
If Opie is going to have a show I'd rather see Opie trying to survive on his own shitty show.
6 jaghutgathos 2016-09-30
It would be funny if Opie and Ant both struggled with their respective shows while Sammy leads S&J to the big time... oh, and turning Denny into a celebrity. That would do nicely.
4 Tom_Stall 2016-09-30
Anthony is already struggling with his show and Opie is totally void of talent or any redeeming qualities. Opie can only succeed on the back of others' talent.
2 BellyFullOfSwans 2016-09-30
Vic and Sherrod would be thrilled that somebody finally referred to them as "talent".
1 Tom_Stall 2016-09-30

5 buryonedeep 2016-09-30
I'd rather have O, A, J and Sam. Opie could still keep shit on topic or else you get Anthony ranting about blacks for an entire show.
4 Lobstrich 2016-09-30
I think Jim could do a pretty decent job of deflecting/distracting Ant if he goes off on race stuff if he has officially a more prominent position on the show. I don't think that would be difficult for him or Sam, I see it more as a habit that Ant needs to break.
5 TacoTrots 2016-09-30

2 pabbseven 2016-09-30
What you guys forget is that Opie can change. He did 20 years of radio with 2 guys who never had the balls to speak out on how they truly feel. Imagine fucken that.
You can always learn to take a beating and thats his problem, being insecure.
I would say, I used to be abit like Opie with the walking on greggshells, I took shit personally when people goofed and bashed and as Bob Kelly once said to him "jesus christ you go straight for the jugular" cause he cant handle it.
So I actually learned through O&A and this shithole, dont fucken be like Opie. What a boring cunt that dude must be to hang with.
But yeah, imagine in those 20 years of radio, of Ant and Jim went behind the scenes after the show and told him to losen up or that he have to learn to not be so insecure.
Its fucken spineless what they did, for 20 years. Ant is talking now like he hated Opie all the time and had to shut his mouth to have a job, if they just talked about it and explained it to him, it wouldve been so much easier for all 3.
I remember when ant got fired and the worm tried to explain what "walking on eggshells meant", but he fucken tapped out and just said "its... youre the boss" and they spoke about how he didnt want to be the boss its just the role he took automatically, and steered away from the fact that eggshells means he's an insecure dude and you cant joke with him cause he takes it personally.
So, I would blame Ant and Jim on what Opie have become, cause they shouldve talked to him years ago. And if that meant not having a gig, then go somewhere else, you still have talent, thats what made the show great(for its time).
But to be honest, even though I cringe at Opie 95% of the time listening to any O&A show, I still enjoy listening to old ~2007 shows. I started listening like 5-6 years ago, downloaded old shows for my shitty job and 1h commute, spent 8-10h everyday listening to 2004 before they started the walks to XM, I laughed and laughed.
Now, when we all know them and their lives like stalkers I hate all 3 off them, but the first year of listening really made my life at work easy.
2 cabaretcabaret 2016-09-30
In a way opie being rejected by Sirius and re joining Anthony re-establishes the name and makes Anthony more legitimate in the eyes of guests, advertisers, and the industry. Anthony would be just be part of another post-firing revamped show rather than an ousted racist misogynist individual. He would make more money and not have to fight for guests or exposure anymore.
I think he's reached his peak exposure as things are, he can't grow it anymore, he's not going to get any other big names joining, but opie brings the name back.
2 BRUTAL_ANAL_RAPE8888 2016-09-30
We finally get what we want after 4 years and you fucking fags want the comedy cancer back?!?! Opie deserves alot worse than firing for ruining so much good radio throughout the years. Anything he is apart of I won't be.
2 liquidmachete 2016-09-30
The show is good with Jim and Sam (but it's debatable what passes for good these days, am I right gang). I just hope some friendly conflict arises because, more-than-listenable as it is, the Morning Jam sounds too much like "two guys constantly agreeing with each other but ironically pretending they're not" for my liking.
But they're like two lovestruck slaves who managed to escape the plantation together so it's only natural they're giddy and relaxed. Aside from healing all wounds, the passage of time also creates frustration and monotony, which hopefully makes the show even better and a little less saccharine.
2 SpaceCaseBassFace 2016-09-30
The only people who really want that are the stupid trucker fans that still think Opie played a role in the show and isn't completely insane. Even the people on TACS Facebook page agree that Opie is a piece of shit and that Norton/Sam/other comics are the ones that should do the show with Ant. If Zac Amico was on Ant's show at least once a week I'd still be subscribing.
2 hairFugazi 2016-09-30
opie may not be funny, but he knows what is funny. Theres a reason the show rivaled Stern. The formula worked, PERIOD. OnA did many amazing shows without norton using instead patrice, quinn, kelly and even vos, because they know what the fuck they are doing, PERIOD. They don't need the worm, but you are lying if you say opie and anthony don't have a chemestry that works, PERIOD.
1 majestik6 2016-09-30
Those old shows work because JIMMY knows funny and he brought good guests.
It also helped that podcasts weren't "a thing" and comedians would work for free to promote their gigs
2 jtreezy 2016-09-30
Ant and Jim are overrated as a duo. They haven't been thaat funny together, recently. Opie and Ant would be more interesting.
2 Opierapedmymom 2016-09-30
Ant wasn't exactly hilarious the last year or so of O&A. He basically became a political commentator who would throw in the occasional joke, so I don't think there's ever any hope of recreating the past. I think a Norton/Roberts show is the best we can hope for.
2 PetroleumPilferer 2016-09-30
You all know you'd watch if they did a reunion show, I can't understand not wanting this to happen at least once. And let's face it, none of you are watching Ant's show anyway so at the very worst it will be business as usual.
2 x_003 2016-09-30
I'm pretty sure Opie came up with Box of Cocks and Moustraps for Stalker Patti.
In a new environment, Opie might start that kind of stuff up again. When in doubt, play to your strengths: hackey (but funny) radio stunts were Opie's strength.
2 Bazampi 2016-09-30
Pretty much because you're delusional to think that Ant could come back without Opie. The biggest reason they would even think of bringing him back is to potentially regain some listeners and up their numbers with some sort of redemption story. Without Opie how exactly would they frame that to bring people back or gain some listeners? "Hey that guy we fired is back with his own show alongside his comedian friend Jim Norton." The biggest draw would come from a "the infamous duo is back" narrative.
2 HumpX 2016-09-30
opie, when he's on his meds, gives the show direction and purpose. Its unfortunate he didnt recognize his place when Jimmy and Ant went into riff mode but it seems like he could be trained to do his job and then back off when the time is right.
2 Stuper_man03 2016-09-30
Why not leave out everyone without talent (Opie and Sam) and just have Ant and Jim?

No, this is madness. I know we've had some fun in this sub but wanting Opie back is going too far. The only place he belongs is doing a podcast alone from his bathroom, speaking in hushed tones about literally nothing in between bouts of soft womanly weeping.
1 MedicatedHead 2016-09-30
I like hearing Opie not being able to read a basic sentence everyday for years and years and years. It makes me feel ultimately superior.
I like hearing Ant hate him with niceness. I like Jimmy being a cum gargling faggot. I like AJ Poopieshitz because he likes tits (which is perfect because he'll be working for Tits)

1 KnickedUp 2016-09-30
It would be pretty hilarious if OnA get back together to do a show...while Jimmy is stuck with sam for the next 2 years.
1 Joemomma101 2016-09-30
In theory yes. But I don't see how that would ever happen. Sirius isn't going to give Anthony hundreds of thousands of dollars to be on Sam and Jim's show. And they probably wouldn't allow him to keep his podcast network. The only chance I see is that Opie and Anthony could get back together. Which is also highly unlikely. But I would absolutely like to see that happen.

1 VicDumb 2016-09-30
As much as I hate Anthony now and opie, I would like to see them patch things up. When they got along is when they made some good radio… Or maybe not. They have hated each other since 1999. Anthony is miserable now and he's taking it out on black people really hard… I think if he and Greg made up, it would make 830 be funny again or whatever…idk

I know we're all excited at the release of the torpid sloth in to the wild but let's take a minute and remember that Anthony hasn't exactly been great the past couple of years either. I'm more excited for the "Jim and Sam Show" than the "Anthony rants about how black people are terrible and cuckold Jim sits by yessing him to death Show"
1 HeyCarpy 2016-09-30
Ant and Jim "in the back of the class" as Jim puts it, with Sam the pot-stirring everyman driving the bus. It would be perfect. Sam would happily fill that role that Opie had in O&A&J that made it so fantastic, with none of the emotional baggage that Greggorio had. Sam would actually be better than Ope ever was.
Too bad it'll never happen.

Jim and Sam is good. Fuck Anthony. He had his chance. If he was smart, he would have pulled his balding head out of his ass and realised the shit he says is ruining his career. If he did this, he would be in a great position right now to get his job back....but he didnt. So fuck him.

Opie does a one-man show from Steve's basement
1 Demigodssemidevils 2016-09-30
Where the hell did you get that conclusion from? This sub has perfectly made it clear the best thing we want to happen to opie is his entire radio career is ended abruptly. Like there shouldn't even be one big farewell show where he has a bunch of comedians giving him fakeass praise
1 rahtin 2016-09-30
Ant is done too. He would be terrible with Sam and Jim because he has no respect for Sam.
1 CUNTYMOM 2016-09-30
and it would just turn into a nopie show, if jim doesnt want to be seen as a sidekick then he'll stick with sam. i think ant would make the show worse, its just been too long since he's done good radio, his last couple years on OnA were less about being funny and more about raging about politics and black people, its so refreshing to listen to jim and sam because they are always trying to be funny, not a CNN host.

This happens with bands all the time. What is so dumb about this is they all won't talk to each other directly. Opie, Anthony, and Jim are at there best when they are together. They all played a role in making great radio for years. To all the fans, it isn't going to be the same unless they all get back together.
1 DullHornedUnicorn 2016-09-30
The only capacity i would accept Opie back in is while Sam, Jim and Ant are doing a show Opie is caged up in a corner with a microphone 5 feet away from the cage. so that we can faintly hear his whimpers while the new show flourishes. And as for his contract he gets pre o&j Sam money
1 Jesus_balls 2016-09-30
I'd rather have Ant, Jim, and Ronny, but hey it's an imperfect world
1 BuzzWeedle 2016-09-30
Jimmy and Anthony would be great with Sam being the Jim Norton in that relationship.
1 Jimandthem 2016-09-30
Sam would be the Opie, he'd always be the Opie
1 strappingyoungladdie 2016-09-30
The only capacity in which I would enjoy Greg and Ant together at this point includes the term "Murder-suicide"
1 Titsasspenisballs 2016-09-30
I don't want Opie and Anthony again but it would be in those best interest career wise I would imagine. Won't happen though, In not big on Sam Roberts never was never will. Jim I hope continues to be Jim.

I like it the way it is with Jim and Sam, I actually listened to 2 full shows. There's no coming back from tranpa or tits.
1 bridgecrewdave 2016-09-30
Let's go for Jim and Sam and Denny for the morning!
1 JoeCumiaSr 2016-09-30
That works too. Just no O or A they're both 60 year old faggots.
1 MaskedUploader 2016-09-30
Why would anybody want Anthony back? He's completely lost it. It's like wanting Fez back. You aren't going to get the WNEW version.
1 TruthlessShinovar 2016-09-30
Ant Jim and Sam would absolutely destroy. Their ratings would be insane.
1 Jimandthem 2016-09-30
Are you delusional? Nobody cares but us
1 Axelfolly 2016-09-30
Probably cuz the Op-ster is the funniest man alive! And the glue that held Ant and lil yimmy together! Also, happy "Say The Opposite of What You Mean" day!
1 JeffDenlon 2016-09-30
I'd like for Opie and Anthony to get back together but I think too much dirty laundry has been put out there between the both of them for them to ever effectively work together as a team.
1 ChuckChipperson 2016-09-30
the only way i want to hear these two dicks together again is if you put me in a delorian and do 88 mph and knock me about ten years back
otherwise fawk u sock cucka

Sam stinks, and his voice is the worst on radio.
Ant and Jim with Ron would be best.

Opie wasn't terrible at their height of success, he DID steer the ship and yes he was awful at times, but just O&J might be a runaway train too.
0 Mastodonald 2016-09-30
I want opie to sail into the sunset, never to be seen again. Whether eaten by sharks or drinking bikinitinis in tahiti, I leave up to the universe.
-11 gsbird1065 2016-09-30
No. Anthony and Jim each laugh at everything the other says, whether it's funny or not; which is poor radio.
Opie and Anthony, despite the fact that they despised one another for three quarters of their partnership, had the best chemistry of any two broadcasters I can think of. They were the show, the reason to tune in, from beginning to end.
If I had to choose, I'd rather have that than a show which is merely funny.
3 AzraelApollyon 2016-09-30
The fuck are you talking about? Nobody pointed out each other bombing more than Jimmy and Anthony.
-2 gsbird1065 2016-09-30
Two guys laughing, regardless of how funny it is, is not inherently good radio.
2 erickz123 2016-09-30
In the words of Patrice, funny is funny. What makes you the god damn expert on what funny is?
In the words of Rich Vos, 2 out of 3 aint bad. They all cant be zingers.
Neither of them laughed at an Opie joke. Both are quick and respected by other comedians, Jim, and Ant.
Period. Sniff.
1 gsbird1065 2016-09-30
I didn't say funny wasn't funny; I said funny didn't always make for good radio. What Opie & Anthony brought was, at its best, better and more compelling than any radio I've ever heard.
If you don't understand this, then you were never a fan of the show, you were just a fan of something you heard on it; something that had nothing to do with what made the show great.
1 erickz123 2016-09-30
I agree with you 150% on your 2nd sentence. I also know Opie pulled the breaks all the time during funny bits. Over the last few years his ego and emotions have been a cancer. He implode the show we all love because his voices said cause everyone knew it was over. So yes, the O&A history was great, but he should made to sit in egotistical shit pile and left to die.
2 McGowan9 2016-09-30
What?
6 jaghutgathos 2016-09-30
It would be funny if Opie and Ant both struggled with their respective shows while Sammy leads S&J to the big time... oh, and turning Denny into a celebrity. That would do nicely.
21 Bossman_Spearman 2016-09-30
Exactly. Can anyone here seriously envision Opie being on TACS? Why? What role would he perform? We all know him to be a bitchy unfunny moron who nobody likes. The only thing he could do is carry on clucking about documentaries. He's an awful presenter.
No, this is nonsense.
That being said, I would love to see Tits On TACS because we could continue to rip his awfulness apart and now with hrs of footage we can photoshop for our amusement.
Anthony and Keith know this. It's just them being proactive in marketing their own show. They need the publicity where ever they can get it.

3 tacsman_ 2016-09-30
I want to defend Ant's show, to say it isn't that bad, but I can't remember when I last watched it.
-1 bcreddit115 2016-09-30
Don't get the Sam love here. He's tolerable but doesn't add much insight or humor to anything.
Still enjoy listening to Ron and Howard that's about it. Seems like sirius can't find any decent shows to put on outside of that.
