After a fawkin bro0taL show featuring riveting discussion on healthy eating for the middle aged, halloween hotspots for the children, a lengthy call from Chuck, and then 30-40 minutes on fishing, James from New Jersey had finally had enough

He didnt like it?

Obligatory "NNNOOOOOOO!!"

Halloween discussion at the end of November. Opester always keepin it relevant & on point.

..you're a listener? is it a keep your enemies closer kinda thing?

I read that in Morgan Freeman's voice for some reason

You know you're a top-notch radio guy when you swoop in with sweet comebacks like, "What do you suggest we talk about?"

"That's not my job!"

Tits was on the ropes. James got him to dip into his patented "in case of emergency, use this to win back the audience" Harry Hater voice. Twice.

Tits even admitted (eventual) defeat. It was his "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore" moment.

He couldn't even fully commit to the fake-brag.

He's clearly cracking up. 2-3 more calls like this should do the trick.

Also every single member of the new channel has discussed the name change on the air during their shows. Opie has yet to talk about it on the air, and has only done a lip reading YouTube video and some behind the scenes Facebook video where it was a 30 second mention 3 minutes into the video. He's obviously taking it badly

Good.

:)

I still can't believe how fucking douche-chilling that video was.

It wasn't quite that good. He had him on the ropes and Tits was able to slip out because the caller was even less prepared than he was.

Tits didn't slip out of anything.

I don't know what you're hoping for, but we're never going to get an actual crucifixion. Tits is never going to entertain a point-by-point dissertation on why he's awful. We wouldn't have gotten even this much if Bobby didn't tell Tits to keep him on the line.

Grading it on a curve (1 civilian caller vs. 2 comedy radio vets), it was a TKO, and you can bet your sweet, luscious, over-round retard ass that Tits is going to be a wee bit gun-shy going to the phones today.

Exactly this. The caller couldn't add in anything past 5 or 6 words before getting stepped on and deflected with questions.

TKO? Come on. Opie got embarrassed but the guy had no big slam on him like the "Take the hit!" caller who sincerely owned Opie that time. The guy offered little, but callers usually suck so that is to be expected.

And when isn't he gunshy about taking calls post-Jimmy?

"The guy's obsessed with me"... That thought didn't cross anyone else's mind, except Opies. That was his take away from the phone call, honest criticism must be an "Obsessed hater", everyone else is the asshole, not Opie.

That caller WAS obsessed. I mean, we're not, but that caller was.

He should be thrilled anyone's paying any attention to him at all.

That's what I'm thinking we should just let him drift away into obscurity like maxwell, but he does have huge tits

the carlos mencia of radio in that sense

I'll give Opie a little credit. He kept the guy on the phone and took the criticism longer than usual, and not a massive steamroll like he normally does. Bobby did most of the talking though.

He was going to hang up right away but Bobby wanted to talk to him.

Show prep is right. Scan the news and find 2-3 things to talk about. Maybe a show on tv or documentary. You don't need much because here will always be tangents off of those topics. And fuck, Trump is giving you major fodder every single day.

Instead we get regular doses of Chuck "hey this guy's funny cause he has a southern accent and is racist" from NC.

Honestly, going after Opie with Bobby in studio wasn't the best idea because Bobby has a lifetime of experience dealing with hecklers at comedy shows.

Of course Bobby's gonna defend Opie and the show against some caller, and Bobby isn't the guy you want to get into an aggressive debate with. You punch Opie, big Bobby comes in and kicks your ass, then Opie runs back in when Bobby's taken control of the situation to get a few more kicks to the head in.

HOW DOES THAT FEEL?!?! HOW DOES THAT FEEL, FUCKER?!?!

Exactly. You could hear Opie giving it large because his mates are around but on his own all he's got is his tits.

If opie just allowed every caller to roast him the show would be great

That's my whole thing -- if he embraced it, or at least didn't try to be cool and mysterious with the YouTube videos and false bragging, I really wouldn't care. But the douche-chills are so strong with everything he does that it's impossible not to acknowledge.

Maybe it's been explained and I missed it, or it's obvious and I just don't get it...but I don't get why any of the old school dudes like Bobby and Florentine seem to keep doing Opie's show instead of Jimmie's show, when they're actually friends with Jimmy and would probably more fun on his show......I understand why Sherrod, Vic, and Destefano do Ope's show because they were guys he brought on it seems

I wish just one caller could truly articulate to Opie how terrible he is. The correct way to handle that call is, "Your career is over. Bobby is funny, Chris sucks but at least he can be entertaining, and they are completely carrying this turd of a show, which isn't saying much. You are only bringing it down. Everyone hates you, your YouTube videos are fucking pathetic. You are fucking horrific."

They always choke. The only guy who ever articulated our grievances well was that guy like a year and a half ago. I forget his name, the one who Opie called "a stupid little fucking hater".

What did the guy say?

No no no he meant the caller.

I have egg on my face.

That's cum.

Why did you write what he wrote?

Wow, that guy really got to Opie

I feel like I willed this to happen.. I'm sitting here playin online slot machines with the show on in the background and it's just the most mundane conversation ever.. fuckin horrible.. and I'm prayin for someone to call in and smash opie I am James from nj We are all James from nj I am also drunk

Im Matt from NY 😉

Fawk you

Hi I'm ian from ny

WE ARE... Connecticut

WE ARE... you

We are New York

Opie complains constantly about how terribly he's treated and then once a caller rings up to say that he's irrelevant, Opie always goes "Actually it's not bad, I'm just teasing!"

This is why nobody can take him seriously. He changes his reality to fit whatever argument he needs to make.

Yes, this is ANOTHER fucking terrible thing about him. "I have all of these haters," then it's "no actually I love doing afternoons and management really loves the direction of the show."

He's delusional. It never fucking ends. I'm sick of it. He's associated with a show I used to love, so I have the right to be sick of it.

You know they're all walking on gregshells because no one made the enormously obvious joke that "james" was jim norton

Opie is a beaten man.

He really has nothing. Just an insecure crybaby, no comebacks, no ability to think outside the box or think quick on his feet in any capacity. His lack of skills at this job is incredible. Bobby had to fight the battle for him.

Opie is a brother-man do you mean?

ME: You we ... you were on hold for ... you were on hold for a really long time so ...

James: I was on hold for 10 minutes.

HA!

Does anyone know if their is a compilation of callers bashing the Opester? If not someone good at computers please make it

We will get right on that!

"I daught da dree ding wuz gud."

The poor bastard certainly tried but they kept talking over him anytime he picked up steam

That has always been the O&A way, steamroll anyone once you start losing the fight. Then hangup. He makes a good point about show prep making a difference but no one heard it.

His transformation into Fez Whatley is incredible. When Fezzie was called out on the matchbook fib he launched into "the callers dont want me here, dont worry the heart attack will come soon." Hopefully the next trait he adopts will be his silence.

Personally I hope it's the heart attacks.

While filming a Harry-Hater in his bathroom, he keels over and cracks his head off the toilet. It'll be like the elusive Steve Irwin death-footage, we know it exists but will never get to see it.

Coming up tomorrow on Faction Talk....Opie tries to get Vic Henley to say cookie, and maybe even give him a kiss!

Opie's tone lacks confidence.

Yes and his tits lack melanoma but there's always tomorrow!

:>)

"But you're listening..."

Doesn't mean its good radio you stupid fuck. There are a handful of people that listen just to hear how atrocious it is, but even then most tap out in no time.

A title has never given me more joy.

sup babe

I had an inkling that something interesting would happen on his show today. Thank you for enduring, peckah

I wish I had an inkling.

:(

I felt it too 👊

We don't really know how to do this!

Been in radio since he was 18...

Glad to see this posted here...,,I missed the call when I was listening to the replay, but I heard then referencing it afterwards. That whole bit of, "tell us something funny ti talk about" pisses me off every time. Stupid fucking Opie is such a hypocritical hack. Same old bit he drove into the ground with ERock as the Virus. "Just say one thing funny!"

Someone needs to call in to Opie and tell him to prove the haters wrong, and just do ONE FUCKING HOUR by himself and make it entertaining. He knows he can't do it. Fez could take the stick better than solo Opie could ever hope to.

Today's show was amazingly awful. Opie had Bobby read an article so they could talk about it, and Bobby read it, while making mumbling noises as he read. Everyone else remained quiet, and Opie was just laughing away as if it was an amazing bit. Opie even said, at one point, "why does it have to be such a long article!". Opie did nothing to make entertainment out of what was basically two minutes of dead air. I honestly don't know how it is possible to have worked in radio for fifty years and not have developed any entertainment value at all.

Opie said to James, "but you're still listening!". Yes, Opie. People still listen. It's entertaining how idiotic you are, and it's kind of entertaining to watch this train wreck slowly grind to a complete dead stop. You're not going to be on the radio much longer, sir. Just keep on acting like things are going right according to plan and you are happy.

It sounds very difficult for Bobby to even manage to breathe.

Isn't this Jerry from 2 years ago?

Doesn't sound like him, but I would blow both of them.

Delightful fellas, no?

Can you stop it with the beautiful landscape images? You're like my nana.

Don't listen to this peckah, bh: the beautiful landscape images are wonderful. They add a smidgen of your signature zazz to the experience.

James=Jerry loomynahty confirmed. sniff

"Dumplings vs GUY-oza"

I think most people know that's not how you pronounce that word, right?

To be fair opie and Bobby were right, why fucking listen

To hear just how bad it is. I will tune in to his shit ass show here and there just to see how awful it is. It is amazing to me that anyone out there can consider it entertainment.

I usually last for about 4-5 minutes.

Sweep the leg.

How many more shows until another riveting Anthony phone call?

Op giving haters hope

Missed opportunity when opie asked how they should make the show better

"Remove opie from the show"

Nice, but I hope the next guy really unloads on him. Great opportunity, could have been a lot better.

I'm such a fucking moron I just got the James from NJ part. Also who put a skull as opie radios call signa. Yuck

Bobby: "What would your dream show be?"

missed opportunity for a suicide joke. "A few gunshots followed by silence"

ME: hahhahahahahahahahaha

Let's be honest here folks, Jim and Sam's show is just as devoid of substance as Opie's

Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves

There is at least HUMOR in the Jim and Sam show. You can listen to it without wanting to tear off your ears.

Your kidding yourself

I am not a folks

Well if you say so; since you started out so honestly, I'm all in

Ah he kinda choked. Have some more fodder if you're gunna call in.

Ah he kinda choked.

choked? He had Tits and Bobby rattling off the day's topics, trying to convince him the show wasn't that bad.

He made them turn on the word cannon so he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

He had Tits fake-bragging about his career, with the high-pitched voice-cracks and everything.

Tits: "I'm having pretty....uh......a lot of fun with this show"

James: "Then prove it!"

James stuck to his guns and didn't take the bait. He stood firm with the (correct) notions that the show is horrible, Tits' career is over, and it wasn't his job to tell Tits how to make the show better.

Bobby came up small, too (tss), wanting to interview the guy about what he thought was interesting. Fuckin' retard. Bobby was clearly angling to play the "you're just a civilian" card, but James cut that idea off at the pass, by basically admitting that yes, he is a civilian, but they're supposed to be professionals.

James was so in Tits' head he triggered his Harry Hater voice, prompting Bobby to squeal "What the fuck, man? Why'd you go that route for?".

The only people who choked during that phone call were the guys who have over 50 years of stand-up/comedy broadcasting experience between them. And they only made it worse after Tits hung up on James. They couldn't dig out of the hole they created, even when James was removed from the equation.

TL;DR - James from New Jersey is a darling, and I won't tolerate any besmirching of his good name.

"Eventually my career will be over." Not only can't this dumbfuck read, but he doesn't even know that "eventually" doesn't mean "next week."

James missed his chance to get Bobby with a "DONT INTERUPT ME CUNT!"

Dude you are a saint on eeerff. Not only do you listen to gavin you listen to opie show too?

WOW

Can you peckahz put notes by you when you called in. You could have made him eat a bullet if you had some bullet points and didn't choke.

This is Kevin from Philadelphia, right?

Marion laughs at Opies comebacks

Bobby has sucked and will always suck. Go do another Tourgasm, you mediocre blob of desperateness.

Nah, Bobby's a good egg.

An ostrich egg.

be more funny

Right back at you baby

You're quick.

You're not.

If you take the time to call in and post joke is on you. Regardless what anyone thinks, Opie is getting paid for now.

[deleted]

They are bringing up relevant points that OPIE has yet to answer.

[deleted]

I understand your point. However, people listened to O&A for years and loved the show. Throughout that time people may have just listened for Ant or Jim, perhaps never for Opie. For many people, they listened in spite of Opie and heard him spout his bullshit for years. Time has passed and things happened and now Opie is on his own. I personally have only listened to the Ant calls and have never listened to the actual show. I think people are just curious to see how this guy with his inflated ego can put on a show. So far, reviews have been poor. Opie construes this attention as infatuation only to feed his ego. On the other hand, people are not infatuated with Opie, they are infatuated with what he represents. A narcissistic deluded douche and people are keen to see that type of person fail, so they watch.

Honestly, going after Opie with Bobby in studio wasn't the best idea because Bobby has a lifetime of experience dealing with hecklers at comedy shows.

Of course Bobby's gonna defend Opie and the show against some caller, and Bobby isn't the guy you want to get into an aggressive debate with.

I felt it too 👊
