Florentine's schtick was wearing thin before Ant got fired. I'm listening to him hating on fantasy football back in January 2014. I know in early 2014 Florentine's "what am i fooouuurrrr" thing was getting him shat on.
Yeah I really hate when comedians make a big deal out of every day mundane things that most people do. It's my biggest pet peeve. Also, I just realized I don't like comedy
Just remember: At a time when he was the most vulnerable after the divorce -and with a situation like that happening to him its hard to say that all women shouldn't be killed but you seriously cant think that way- when he was on the show to just do radio, be jovial and escape the problem for awhile...OPIE whipped out the destroyer in the most autistic way possible, pushing for jokes that weren't there or didnt work, which only indicated his declining social awareness more. It wasn't the time to push for jokes, and Flourentine wasn't offering it up either. He was near a breakdown, and Opie was dancing on top of him. Norton barely said anything because he was basically SPEECHLESS as it was happening. If anyone has the link to that audio, they should post it. But its the most audible example of bridge-burning I've ever heard (even though, surprisingly, no bridges were burnt).
Not a huge fan of his, but after that I at least try to give him the benefit of the doubt. Because FUCK OPIE.
I feel bad he got in cahoots with a whore. You wonder if he could have pimped her differently as to prevent such a falling out. Having to pay money to a girl who dumped your dick for another one would suck.
Yea Florintine is cool. I think him and Sam could have a good chemistry, hope he comes in early and hangs for most of the show and it's not just an interview for 45 minutes
Florentine made his own bed by being the guy that hates everything. He's a mediocer standup who needed a hook and his angle was being the alpha male who didn't like anything that was remotely fruity. Except, of course, letting guys fuck your wife while you laid your head on their stomach.
You obviously aren't familiar with Florentine's act if that's how you really feel. He's been doing the same hack 'everything sucks' material for years. This is an actual line from a set he did in the early '00s that I heard on one of the SXM comedy channels the other day:
'I'm a man's man! Anybody here like football?!' (Audience cheers)
'Yeah, whenever I meet someone who doesn't like football, I think to myself, "huh....fuckin' pansy".'
tune in as jim florentine decries anyone over 30 for playing pokemon while he sits as a middleaged cuckold in a slipknot t-shirt with holes in the armpit fabric
Opie is shit even if God is in studio.
Sam is shit unless you like Opie with 5% more humor.
Jim and Ant both suck in their own ways, but are good together.
I liked Opie and Anthony. His ineptitude is exactly what added the dynamic to a quick witted, loud mouth like Ant. I know what you mean though. - Sam's night show was good. Jimmy is not really good at radio in any capacity other than adding one liners to O&A. His solo shows and this shit with Sam blows asshole.

"Wearing thin" like his wifes uterine wall after getting railed by a cop in Jims house.

I think when he decided to make an emotional investment in the usage of ketchup is when I decided that he is not a guy that I enjoy on the radio.

Fantasy football is pretty fruity. Just be honest with yourself and LARP.

I've always liked Florentine and blame all of his bad appearances on being pigeonholed by stupid Opie.

There ya go. I didn't know about this thread, but I just happened to listen to this clip again to remind me of what a cunt Opie is.
4 KenFrezno 2016-12-02
I am convinced Opie is not a human being. How can you read that article? He has no clue how fucking autistic this is.
2 d0mesplitter 2016-12-02
I'll never forget that because I could almost hear Florentine silently debating whether or not he was about to beat Opie to death.
9 TheScarletR 2016-12-02
Today? Its 2am.
Florentines podcast stinks but hes okay on the radio with other comics.
Im guessing him and Sam together will be listenable, unless they have bad guests.

This sub draws an international audience.

I could get into how weird the time difference thing is - but I would sound too much like the Opster.

I think he just wanted a kid to have as a friend so forgot to look for a non crazy to splurge in
2 hoogityboogitiesRIP 2016-12-02
Yikes. That's a good point. Just go for an 18+ on grindr. Cheaper!
9 Monospector 2016-12-02
Opie lowers Florentine's stock by doing a low-rent impression of him daily.
ME:You used to take your lunch to school in a cement bag too? Beeeeeeauuutiful. Sniff.

Florentine gets a pass for crank yankers.
Come one come all were just having a ball...
6 chipkatspartan 2016-12-02
I think Jim's a good egg.
4 MedicatedHead 2016-12-02
It's weird hearing a guy who's not a total meta-faggot on Jim & Sam.
3 rollingoranges 2016-12-02
Yea Florintine is cool. I think him and Sam could have a good chemistry, hope he comes in early and hangs for most of the show and it's not just an interview for 45 minutes

Florentine made his own bed by being the guy that hates everything. He's a mediocer standup who needed a hook and his angle was being the alpha male who didn't like anything that was remotely fruity. Except, of course, letting guys fuck your wife while you laid your head on their stomach.
2 MershCumic 2016-12-02
Fuck him. I'm calling the hotline.
2 VeritablyClean 2016-12-02
I had the misfortune of seeing this man's man live. Fuck him and his schtick, if he had any real balls he'd kick his cunt wife out with her dumb kid

Opie is AIDS by himself, but good w/ Ant.
Sam is better by himself, doing his own show.
Jimmy isn't good on the radio unless Ant is there to keep him in check.
