WNEW January 2000 | February 2000 | March 2000 | April 2000 | May 2000 | June 2000 | Teen Voyeur Bus 2000 | January/February 2001 | March 2001 | April 2001 | May 2001 | June 2001 | July 2001 | August 2001 | September 2001, Part One and Part Two | October 2001 | November 2001 | December 2001 | January 2002 | February 2002 | March 2002 | April 2002 | May 2002 | June 2002 | July 2002 | August 2002 and Aftermath


XM October 2004 | November 2004 | December 2004 | January 2005


  • They play this. Not that it’s remotey funny or anything but it is nostalgic for anybody who used to go on twisted humor and ebaumsworld and stuff like that back in the day

  • Opie says he is ready to pass out because he doesn’t have any “melk”. They come back from break and Opie is furious about the fact that he couldn’t get milk. He says his blood sugar levels were dropping drastically and he may actually pass out. He was furious because the intern got the milk from Duane Reade, and he yelled at Jimmy off air.

  • Patrice does a spot saying he knew jimmy was gay before anybody else did

  • While in DC, they meet some other jocks and on air talent from XM, including Kimmy from XM kids. She plays some songs from her channel, which leads to them to playing and becoming obsessed with "Bananaphone"

  • Intern Noah says he made a song with an older Swedish producer.

  • O&A play a clip of a gay guy from American Idol named Matthew Miller. It's pretty remarkable how this guy was ridiculed and made to feel shitty on national television, unlike today where he'd be a national icon.

  • Martini Steve reveals the origins of Ramone

  • Jay Mohr appeared in Page 6 after being seen with Nikki Cox. They’re all surprised given how doting he is with his current wife, but Anthony said he saw him anally fucking a black girl back at WNEW.

  • Jimmy first mocks Bob Kelly for saying "schmarmy"

  • High pitched Deedee from XM Kids participated in a stupid “read news articles with news ticker in the background” bit until the listeners email awful shit to the Kids channel and management stops allowing her on the show

  • Before they leave for their New Orleans trip it is revealed that Jimmy's tickets for the trip were never booked. Jimmy is irate and insist that because the ticket was purchased late and because the make up ticket is not first class he doesn’t want to go anyway. He insists that it isn't out of spite but purely on principle, and that there is no way he is going. The Monday show from New Orleans opens up with Jimmy at third-mic.

  • During one of the New Orleans broadcasts, Jimmy complains that there was only one bar of soap in the bathroom of his two-level suite

  • All they really do on air in New Orleans is throw beads at people walking by below. Opie throws some at a handicapped man in a scooter and whenever he hits somebody with beads he points accusingly at Jimmy, which pisses Jimmy off. Opie justifies throwing at an old man by saying he doesn’t discriminate and everybody is “deservent” of a bead throw.

  • Ant says he saw a group of black guys targeting white couples and intimidating them and it gave him a deep sense of rage and made him want to just say nigger at them. He adds that he never throws that word around in his regular day but sometimes you gotta dig for the most powerful deepest insult you can say and you don’t wanna hold back.

  • Opie recounts stories of random tourists in New Orleans who were throwing up in public. But he keeps referring to it as "power booting" and he says the term "power booting" so often that it’s fairly obvious that he heard somebody else use the term recently, thought it was cool slang, and wants everybody to hear how cool he sounds when he says it.

  • Ben Sparks is mocked as a guy who constantly is gossiping and claims that he saw Tom brady doing coke at a club in Boston

  • The boys are now doing live reads again, which XM initially did not have them doing.

  • Anthony is obsessed with the Michael Jackson trial and is completely certain he will be going to prison

  • Jim goes on an extended rant over his “mealy Apples” that he keeps being served by interns. They get new intern Travis in studio briefly and tell him to go elsewhere for better apples

  • A caller who works for infinity broadcasting calls in and says he heard it’s almost assured that Opie and Anthony will be doing Mornings at KROCK but Opie dismisses it

  • Ant describes a childhood incident in which a nude 25-year-old (not Buzz) coaxed him into her bedroom for sex, at which point her husband jumped out of the closet with a shotgun. The entire thing was set up to scare Anthony as a prank but he didn’t fall for it.

  • Tamara Green accuses Bill Cosby of drugging her at a restaurant and taking her to her apartment and assaulting her decades prior. Corey Feldman claims he isn’t sure if Michael Jackson molested him or not in the 80s. Both stories leave the boys assuming they’re opportunists who are seeking fame.

  • Anthony calls out Opie for repeatedly calling Flavor Flav "Flavor Flay"

  • Jimmy admits that he was gonna join a gang called The Lords as a kid

  • A jock from the Boneyard channel who calls himself Cool Guy has been talking shit about the O&A Show on the air, causing Jimmy to write an open letter on Wackbag calling him a phony and a “fucking faggot”, to which Cool Guy replies that he is a family man with kids and isn’t serious about all this. The boys also mention that on the Wackbag board there is a sticky called Immobilization Guidelines, which serve as a sort of 'rules of engagement' for how the sub will attack other shows, news organizations, and public figures.

  • Noah the intern quits on on February 15, following a call from his father called to the company after the show. The boys claim Noah enjoyed the airtime and aren't sure why he's gone.

  • A great Jimmy laugh

  • Lots of callers and posters on message boards will say something shocking, and then once they start describing it they end up leading into a plug of an upcoming Jim Norton gig. There seems to be an escalating battle to see who can provide the best bait to pull off this gag.

  • In a discussing about a Post article featuring a woman who is offended by others staring at her breastfeeding in public, Opie says "Let’s be honest - it’s hot", to which both Ant and Jim immediately say "Ugh no that’s disgusting." This, combined with the fact that Opie has admitted to finding pregnant women sexy, in addition to his longstanding open desire to be a father, and his contentious relationship with his mother, has led me to believe that he has incredibly deep and complex Oedipal issues that may be a key source of his existence-consuming narcissism.

  • The phones don’t work and Opie gets so upset that Anthony sounds audibly anxious. Opie snaps and gives out corporate suit Kevin Straily’s email and yells at the listeners to go after him

  • The gates of Central Park are mocked

  • Opie says that the Grammys “fail in comparison” to the VMAs

  • They have Adam Levine of Maroon 5 on the phone and they toy with him and do their usual fucking around. It’s funny, but it does make you realize why actual celebrities weren’t interested in participating with the show after a while

  • I’m gonna need somebody to confirm for me that the guy who has been posting diss tracks on this sub is NOT the same as this guy here

  • I think this was “Billy” Burr’s first XM appearance. With Charlie Murphy.

  • What are we doing to celebrate black history month? Ant: "I’m only using one lock on my front door"

  • Opie lies to Deacon Jones during an interview about his age and says he was born in 1965

  • They’re live from Los Angeles World Poker Tour, where Anothny will be playing. Joe Rogan is there and he talks about DMT and Terrence McKenna and Doug Stanhope and mushrooms, UFC, floatation tanks, Randy Couture, Vanderlay Silva, Tito Ortiz, BJ Penn within about 30 minutes.

  • The Ed Asner interview

  • Interview with Lemmy from Motorhead

  • Gangsta Fag

What a weird in between era this was. The early 2000s were so strange and seem like 100 years ago in a lot of ways. Especially the item about the gay Idol dude. Thank you for another installment and keep 'em coming.

Enough time has passed in this decade that I think the 2000s are starting to seem more clearly defined. 2005 was significantly different in terms of what Hollywood considered off limits.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

"Were ya droppin hammers? Were ya droppin hammers? WERE YA DROPPIN HAMMERS????!?!!!!"

Misheard "(Are) You('re) Rebooting?"

Anthony is obsessed with the Michael Jackson trial and is completely certain he will be going to prison

Ant was just jealous of all that sweet, sweet young meat Jacko got.

Wasn't this the trip to New Orleans with Po's O&A PARTY ROCK!

Wow you’re right. A couple of episodes were copyright blocked so I may have missed their discussion of that

If it's available, I'd love to get a timestamp of Opie's broken phone tantrum and Anthony's nervousness. Good work as always.

Nice to know Joe Rogan was talking about the same shit in 2005

Opies obsession with how "bad" his mother was really is disturbing. By 30 you should be over that shit

"Im only using one lock on my door" anthony used to be a funny motherfucker

Yeah, funny racist Ant was great. Seething angry racist Ant is not.

Wackbag haha.

TYFYS

This is your legacy. Something to leave for the grandchildren to find.

And when they do, they will be filled with pride.

Nothing else in your life will ever come close to this deconstruction of pure nonsense.

New intern Travis berated for mealy apples. Jim has always been so annoying

110:50ish Opie says "you know, we bash the ones we love". 13 years later and we're da bad guys!

The Lords were going to have a great clubhouse.

i think this is when i started to listen. jimmy has always been insufferable
