Reminder: Nobody on this sub wants to see a reunion.

323  2017-07-07 by FromHereOn014

For those who are visiting, a reunion would eradicate any positive feelings about the old shows. Here are a few reasons why:

-Jim has ascended to an ultimate form of divahood, and forgot how to shit on his friends for the big loffs. -Ant is a geriatric criminal who has nothing interesting to add to any topics. He's like Pete Townshend meets Imus.

There are more reasons, and most of the Opie-reasons go without saying. Don't get back together fellas. It can't be good; we promise.

Speak for yourself ...those 2 deserve each other

It would be like when the Eagles got back together and made all of those shitty songs in the 90's that they thought were good and nobody else did. I'm all set on a reunion unless it's the reunion of Bam and Opie's wife.

I don't know, "Get Over It" was a catchy tune.

I agree, I think that dude was just pitchin' a fit.

No, he was pinchin' a loaf...

Wait wait dats vulgah

CHIPPAH!

The reunion between Lynsi and the Jackass crew will never happen. One member dunn goofed.

with the possible exception of u/patbattle1

I want it to happen but I also want no one to listen to it

You might just get your wish

I am not sure what i want.. On the one side it would just be nice to finally be able to move on. But on the other side having Opie and Anthony going on a train wreck ride to complete humiliation would be fun.

We all want what we cant have. Its like when your parents split up. You would love to go back to the time when everyone got along and you weren't even aware of how un funny mom was. But it cant happen. The monkeys out of the bottle. Pandora doesnt go back in the box.

Jim & Sam just needs a talented comic to fill the 3rd chair and get the old dynamic back. Sam fills Opes role better than Opie since he's easily mocked and takes it way better, not to mention he's better at moving from topic from topic. J&S have great chemistry but fall short on the laughs without someone to take the piss out of them both and draw out more humor from Jim. The best moments on the show so far have been with strong comedic guests, they just need a new permanent fixture.

Think you nailed it perfectly here.

This is what I've always thought. Not even a permanent 3rd mic, but throw in Vos, Normand, Kelly, etc., for the day. Last week's shows were the most comedian heavy since they started and it was their best week.

Too bad Jim runs the board now. So Sam can't use the phones to change topics like he usually would/did.

I think that Sam is generally more entertaining/sets a better mood, but his guest choices are horrendous and he'd rather talk about the news than riff on funny audio. One good thing about Opie is that he would pick good audio to play on the show back before he got lazy and started hating laughter

the final red pill: opie, though an insufferable piss boy, was a better show runner than Sam will or can ever be. No show with Sam at the helm will approach anything close to opie and anthony level comedy specifically because Sam is running it.

not getting into the 'whys', they've been hashed out here plenty

Sam essentially "ran" jocktober for 5 years which is, in the later years, one of the show's funniest and most successful bits. Meanwhile Ope just sat around repeating the same "I didn't hear it, I checked out." "We can't do this anymore, we've killed out" or defending Todd for having to put up with Scott Shannon. His aftershow was also solid. He's not as strong when there's emphasis on him to be a funny guy but when he just has to run the show and snark on the side he excels.

you know in your bones what i said is true

Opie at his best was the "traffic cop" that segued into bits and took on an agreeable-enough neutral voice. When he didn't force his hacky humor and just let Jim and Ant be funny, he was more than tolerable. Opie was the .165 hitter that could lay down bunts while Jim and Ant were the base-clearing power hitters. As long as Opie didn't try to over-extend his average skills (trying too hard to be funny = swinging for the fences and badly missing), I could live with having him as host.

Add a comic like Patrice, Colin, Burr, or Louis (or Bawby or Vos to make fun of), and you were fortifying a good line-up with more power.

What you have now is Sam, who is a more efficient Opie and can be effective, but the line-up lacks run-producing power. Norton doesn't hit for average like he used to (I miss angry Jimmy), but another power guy brings out the best in him. If Ant could still be that guy, you might see something truly special again.

I think Ant could still be that guy. The village show in March where he, Jim, and Sam were on stage was pretty funny, especially with Bobo there to rip on like old times.

Anthony's like a running back that can still rush for 1200 yards a season, but he has to be in the right system to make it happen. Left to his own devices with enablers and suck-ups, he's self-destructive.

No. Could Anthony still be funny at times? Sure. But he would always go back to his race talk and his political talk. Old Anthony is dead. Now we're left with this guy.

At some point he thought his fans wanted him up on a soapbox screaming. I don't know why. Maybe it was easier, maybe he's just an angry, old Panamanian now.

I miss 2006 nerdy uncomfortable with himself Anthony. The 2012 dating a 6 who he believes to be a 10, spending money like an Alabama redneck lottery winner, beer in one hand, phone in the other, nodding off while listeners pee in his pool Anthony was awful and the last phase before he evolved into yelling grandpa.

Remember when he couldn't wait to get out of the studio and refused to do one minute of extra radio? Do ya think he'd kill to do radio in a Sirius studio again instead of the green-walled basement that he has to play make-believe is a real studio set? Brings a smile to my face.

I vote for very awkward train wreck

I dont get this place. Do you want all 3 of them to kill themselves?

You get this place.

"now THERE's a show....that's the show"

Just Opie

No, just Opie.

On the air, please.

Has that not been clear?

Unless everyone gets back together from the old show, it won't be the same.

Opie is trash at radio. Was then and is now.

So why does it matter? It'll be like old times!

That would be good if they could get the whole hang back together.

I wonder what Steve C is up to.

Hangin' out

Yikes...I'm getting old this made me cringe a bit...but also chuckle.

Fuck off old man

Actually I wouldn't mind. It's not like he can ruin Anthony any further.

You make that sound like a dare.

I'd like to see it happen because it would be atrocious.

Tits would never go for it, though. He needs to be the big banana, the top cheese, etc. He's got to be at the head of the table to try to hide the fact he brings nothing to it.

We all know what's going to happen: he'll just move his travelling "laugh at nothing" retarded circus to riotcast or some other half-assed outlet, but he'll gladly take the ego-handjob/quasi-face-saver of being courted by the top brass of compound media.

Tits would never go for it, though. He needs to be the big banana, the top cheese, etc.

Tits on the Anthony Cumia network, trying to order Keith and Ant around, would be almost worth subscribing for. It'd be the grape fight all over again, but with video.

He would never go for it because Opie could not afford his lavish lifestyle, vacation homes, private schools for the kids, a wife who sits on her ass all day, on the 200 dollars per week Compound Media could afford to pay him.

Tits would never go for it, though. He needs to be the big banana, the top cheese, etc. He's got to be at the head of the table to try to hide the fact he brings nothing to it.

Name more metaphors.

the big banana, the top cheese, etc.

king of the hill

The sad thing is...the O&A reunion will still be better than any of the shit shows that have spawned from it. Sam and Jim are awful and always have been, the Cumia network failed, and Opie's effort (while the best of the bunch) sucked.

You'd all subscribe, go to live events and beg to go to the Compound again. Fags.

You're fucking with us right? There no possible way you believe what you just wrote

I want it to happen. I think that separate they are like an all peanut butter sandwich and an all jelly sandwich. Separate, they are garbage and worthy of nothing. Together, they are something special.

It's more like Anthony is stale bread and Opie is just shit, so together they could be a turd sandwich.

"That's beautiful, man" - Willam Black

Something special? I guess you didn't listen post 2011

Speak for yourself. It would further rejuvinate this sub. We need these people in our lives whether we like it or not. Not to enjoy them. To castigate them. Now Opie's gone we need him to get another job fast so we can shit on him some more.

What the fuck do you think this sub is? A sub to show our love of Opie and Anthony?

That's pretty much every other sub but ours.

You are right. If Opie just disappears entirely, it's back to slapping my wife around for me.

Yeah. It's back to slapping his wife around.

Awesome we'll double team that whore

You watch your mouth, I love that woman!

Right after Ant got canned, I wanted them to get together. For some reason, I didn't get how much Opie sucked until after Anthony was fired and I relistened to the old shows. I always knew Ant was funnier than Opie, but I thought they were good as a team and it was only in retrospect that I understood how worthless Opie was,that he almost never said anything funny and on the very rare occasions he did, he'd repeat it over and over like an autist with tourette's syndrome.

When I realized that the humor of the O and A show came only from Anthony, Jim and guests like Colin and Patrice, I no longer saw any reason for a reunion show. However, if Opie wasn't such a douchebag , I wouldn't really mind them getting together again. Ant's show is pretty unlistenable these days anyway, so it wouldn't make a difference if they sucked separately or together. But since Opie IS such a shit head he doesn't deserve to have that life line thrown to him.
The only thing about Opie joining Ant's show that would be somewhat amusing, is what I've said before, and that's the fact that Anthony would be his boss and that Opie would be dependent on the guy he pretty much screwed over for his very livelihood. But that small silver lining certainly doesn't outweigh the thought of Opie finally getting his richly deserved comeuppance for his lifetime of being a total prick.

The only thing Opie deserves is a botched adult circumcision.

OPIE really is not GOOD at ANYTHING. He was SUPPOSED to be MUSIC and SPORTS guy, but he doesn't KNOW anything about EITHER. ALL OPIE could do is confuse MEAN SPIRITEDNESS for HUMOR when dealing with RETARDS. He had a HUGE EGO that was not JUSTIFIED by his TALENT.

Anthony wouldn't be his boss. Opie would have to put up some cash and invest in the show. It's the only way it would work. Throw a bunch of money at it.

Won't happen. Opie can't be the boss... They won't be doing mornings and he's not driving to Long Island to do that job.

TACS hasn't been in Long Island for over a year.

Only if it's via murder suicide.

You can't recreate the magic from the old days. Too much has changed

Opie and Anthony are old and through with life, much like most of this sub and their former fans. You need a 20 something to make anything actually worthwhile and that has been the case since the beginning. Just let the show and all of you die. PS eat shit faggot democrats

They peaked a decade ago.

It's over Johnny.

All that I see happening is Tits and his little band of yes men getting a show on Compound, "Opie Radio" or whatever, with the occasional O&A reunion every few weeks for an hour or two being we know they can't stand each other for any longer than that.

This is best case scenario bc it will result in even more Compound subscription cancellations and hopefully lead to Gavin leaving and ultimately sinking Compound. I can't wait til Keith has to get another job. he is SO awful at his current "job"

In order for them to have a good radio show they need jimmy and most of the old xm staff, without that it's just one guy stammering about nothing and the other obsessing about race

Jim and Anthony would make for an awesome show. I'd be fine with Jim and Ant with Sam and Travis.

Rants about black crime statistics AND interviews with second rate wrestlers? Where do I sign up?

fuck yeah Virus 2017 fuck you faggot

High Voltage

I'd love a Jim/Ant/Sam/Travis/Erik show. Even Roland can book. Roland with the most epic face turn in recent history

You know when they get the cast of a good TV show back together years later, and try to reboot it, only it sucks and doesn't last long? That.

Who wasn't excited to see a middle aged Agent Mulder look bored out of his mind while shining a flashlight in some Vancouver forest.

It would be humorous if a reunion show took off after bringing in a new third mike, leaving Jim, Sam and the rest fucked after SiriusXM realizes that the whole Faction lineup is fucking retarded, and Trump deports Jason Ellis.

Then they can fail.

yeah and it was a mistake to invite opie to the cumia studio. Should have just left that thing closed and keep the scab on unto death

Incorrect. I want the O&A show back. OP is a faggot.

Why? Opie was NEVER good...not even for a second.

SXM should have shitcanned him a lomg time ago.

OP is trying to be as edgy as possible.

They should reunite and go back to watching TV on the radio without a video element.

Reminder: Nobody cares about your butthurt opinion or bitter bullshit, either. Seriously.. this place is worse than any messageboard with holier than thou opinionating. Holy shit.

wow, reddit, with its karma-jockey losers, is gay as fucking hell. no shit. this is the only good sub and even this place isn't immune.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ant in a movie. I think he could have some acting chops

He needs a part with some real bite.

A role he can really sink his teeth into

What a coincidence I heard they were doing a Nightmare on Elm street reboot a few days ago.

Yes, a snuff film

I would be ok with Jimmy and Ant getting together. I didn't donate to the chip cartoon so I don't give a shit about that...I just want funny.

I'd like to see the old show but with Sam replacing Opie and it becomes a huge success.

Opie is locked in a room, strapped to a table and forced to listen. We don't let him kill himself.

Dont tell me what I want... Nana.

meh. It could suck or it could be good.

It's going to happen whether we like it or not.

They'll bank money. A lot of people will subscribe for at least a year just to witness the spectacle. You know a lot on this sub will as well.

They'll lose subs in the long run but the first year or two will bring in some bucks I think enough that they'll give it a try.

Nah, it'd be good. If anything just to see the animosity grow between O&A and the Worm.

The only good thing that can happen next is Jim/Ant/Sam. Anything else will seem too forced and not go anywhere

Lazy O&A will not work without decent producers.

Oh! Bring back Danny!

No I'm just kidding. He only produced hurt feelings when he was picked on. :(

Speak for yourself stoopid

You're some kind of retard. Fuck you mother.

I kind of hope that this actually was all some sort of big scam on the part of Opie & Anthony to get back together and do a show on their own terms, away from all the corporate BS MAAANNNNN!!!

I know it's extremely unlikely, but let's just say that is the case. This was all a big ruse and they're planning to reunite on Anthony's network. I hope this all occurred with them thinking the fans would be overjoyed to get the band back together. But, in typical O&A fashion, they bumbled it so fucking badly they all they ended up doing was exposing everyone's faults to the point that 95 percent of the fans despise them now and never want to see them back together ever again.

Sadly, the reality is that they're just two stupid idiots with the emotional chemistry of 12 year old girls who couldn't handle the single easiest job on the planet without crashing and burning pathetically. Now both of them are going to be remembered as the racist guy who was beat up by a girl and the sexual predator who takes pictures of people pooping, if they are remembered at all. This show couldn't have possibly ended more pathetically.

Pure poetry

They could've literally had Ant beating up a woman while sucking a tranny's cock with an egg-shaped vibrator up his ass and watching John Podesta's home movies on Jeffery Epstein's island as Opie garbles "Patrice" through a load of Bam's cum while looking at a Rorschach blot and it still would've ended with more dignity.

STRONGLY DISAGREE

Nice formatting, retard

Thank you :)

So Ant on the Podacast isn't good?

I'm really enjoying watching the chip podacast with Ant as a regular guest, with regulars from the old show mixed in.

Basically best case scenario, Opie freezes to death alone in a giant labyrinth of delusional blame, and all the rest of the old crew bounce around from one another's shows making regular appearances.

I don't need one regular show every day, it might even be better if everyone minus Opie would continue working together on eachother's shit. Spread the love.

We all like to pretend Anthony still has it in him to be funny again given the right circumstances since we remember how funny he was but face it guys he's done. There's no way he could go a whole show without incessant ranting about black ppl being criminals despite being a criminal himself. Cumia stinks

"You can never go home again"

I'm kind of hoping for a reunion at this point because and Opie and Anthony show on that horrible Compound Media platform would be such a great thing to fuck with.

Could never happen even if they wanted to. Opie is too universally hated, everyone knows this now and will surely avoid him like the plague(at least I hope they do.)

id love a reunion.

Speak for yourself, I want to see the Opester reunite with his dad asap.

I want a reunion if only for the awkwardness of it all. These two assclowns fucked up the cushiest gig in the world.

I'm ashamed I was ever a fan to begin with.

glad Sirius wiped the slate clean of all those greg shells

No, he was pinchin' a loaf...

It's more like Anthony is stale bread and Opie is just shit, so together they could be a turd sandwich.
