January 2002 | February 2002

• A great comedic thread is woven, so Opie goes to the phones

• Opie and Anthony start one show discussing the recent headlines about former Mayor Giuliani and some of his colleagues who allegedly knew info about an imminent nuclear attack in NYC back in October. Jimmy says a nuclear attack in NYC is gonna happen, and it's our fault because we don't do the right thing and "round 'em up." Ant calls ‘them’ towelheads.

• Ant thinks that a nuclear device should be deployed in Afghanistan preemptively to eliminate any “pockets of resistence,” and Opie says for every American life lost in Afghanistan, we have the right to take 100,000.

• Stand up comedian and frequent guest Kevin Meaney got arrested for allegedly grabbing a national guard soldier's M16 at an airport security checkpoint following a confrontation.

• Patrice is in studio for the March 4 show, his second-ever appearance. He claims to have a copy of the R Kelly piss sex tape.

• Opie pronounces anti-climactic "anti-climatic". Jim says "What?" and Opie repeats it the same way without realizing he's pronouncing it wrong.

• The March 5 show begins in chaos. After four hours of meetings, Opie and Anthony go on the air saying how there are certain people out there who management says they simply cannot talk about on the air (Howard Stern et al.) It becomes basically just a single-topic show. Nothing enlightening behind-the-scenes is revealed, however. Most of the issues they've been having could be surmised based on subtle hints they've dropped during the show for nearly a year. At one point though, Ant just keeps saying "Howard Stern" over and over and over again. This show didn't strike me as an "Ant's infamous Howard stern rant" at all (which is how this show has been labeled on oapedia), but rather an Opie bitchfest. Seemed like any other 'let's complain about management' break.

• Opie and Anthony absolutely loved the first episode of The Osbournes

• Jim Norton Cribs

• It's weird hearing O&A make Jimmy out to be some serial killer rapist. During his Cribs episode, they make fun of his unopened mail and his clothes being messy, it sounds like they're really stretching to make his place sounds like a dungeon.

• O&A discuss what they'd do if the show ever ended

• 55 Gallon Drum Challenge II - they throw gross things at girls. One girl gets a cricket in her ear and she gets taken out on a stretcher (mainly for comedic effect, I guess).

• An irate woman calls in to say how O&A talk horribly about women, and how they should be more respectful to women since some day there'll be a woman president. The boys laugh it off and say it'll never happen, Opie says something along the lines of 'the first woman president's gotta get in line behind the first black guy president.'

• Gay Marco comes in to tell them about how he was voted the favorite show character on the Opie & Anthony message board, but Opie just plays soundclips every time Marco tries to talk.

• Ant likes to mention during political discussions that he is neither liberal nor conservative, but rather he picks and chooses his positions.

• Ant is talking about a documentary he saw the other night on the history channel that was made before 9/11. He says the people on the doc talk about how strong the Twin Towers are. He says it's creepy that it was filmed in January, so close to 9/11. Opie interrupts to say that that was eight months before 9/11.

• Friend of the show Barry Williams fought Danny Bonaduce on TV and got his ass kicked for charity.

• Opie doesn't always sound stupid or naive 100% or the time. Sometimes when people ask the room about a random year or person, Opie is right there with the rest of the room. It's odd actually. For example, somebody asked about the "fifth" member of the Beatles during the Let it Be sessions and he was very quick to say "Billy Preston!" It seems like his capacity of knowledge and facts and trivia has eroded over time, or maybe he simply revels in playing a dumbass because 'that's the bit'. That's probably the excuse he goes for, anyway.

• They play a lot of Miss Cleo soundclips throughout the show that are hilarious. One of them is just her going "Yap." And whenever Ant plays it randomly in the middle of the show, it's unexpected and very funny.

• Just to fuck with the rest of the industry, the boys play "Here to Stay" by Korn from their album that doesn't come out for another four months.

• Ant quickly mentioned during a conversation that there's a pistol permit on his desk in the office.

• The Colin Quinn Show debuts on NBC and is signed up for three episodes. It's basically a Tough Crowd prototype.

• Colin is in studio and he says that he spoke with MTV execs who believe that all Remote Control episode archives have been lost, much to his satisfaction. Colin's sarcasm and wit too good for O&A and a waste of his talent.

• Jimmy says he hates fans who write him hate email and don't sign their real names on it. Opie tells him not to let that criticism get to him.

• Jimmy constantly jokes about Andrea Yates, while Anthony constantly tells people how vinyl albums were the best because you could break up your weed on them.

• March 25: Ant's Divorce Show. A classic.

• Black Earl says that black people got the right to vote following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and everybody in studio takes his word for it until a caller corrects him over 30 minutes later.

• Opie tells Anthony he thinks Ant's mom is "a piece of ass." Ant laughs it off as he typically does, but you can tell Opie's attempt to be edgy and cool didn't really hit.

• Ant celebrates an earthquake in Afghanistan that killed a couple hundred civilians, saying that those innocent people who are dead got taken out by God to tip the scales for what happened on 9/11

• Jim has developed a new habit of quickly saying "Dude-dude-dude---!" before callers hang up, only to have the caller scramble back to the phone and hear nobody in studio say anything in return. It becomes a running gag on the show.

• Every time Jim Breuer is in studio, the show turns into three hours of Childhood Tales from Long Island Suburbia, featuring eardrum-shattering sound effects and obnoxious laughter.

• O&A finally have their Bill O'Reilly interview air, which had gotten postponed months ago due to 9/11 coverage. Their commentary consists of the usual complaints about how they're misunderstood and their comedy is taken out of context.

• Whenever Breuer is in studio and somebody curses accidentally, he and Opie start going "Oooooop! Woooop! Whoop whooooop!" Apparently it's referencing some bit from months back about howling monkeys that make a similar noise, but hearing those two feed off each other's douchiness and yell into the mic is infuriating.
