Who could have possibly figured out that shock jocks turned out to be pretty rotten people, lol... Well, actually, I fell for that shit many moons ago. As an impressionable teen, I actually believed the piles and piles of horseshit that Howard Stern used to spew on a daily basis about other DJs (Don Imus being his biggest target when I first started to listen) and then portraying himself as a put upon family man.

I was in for a bit of a wake up call in the 90's when that fairytale Howard was spinning came crashing down during his divorce. I should have seen it coming when he'd talk about all the time he'd spend in his basement with his faggot hairdresser. And with everything that's come out since about the Wig, Howard Stern is Don Imus, minus the coke addiction.
 
Howard is a hypochondriac asshole who turned on his "friends" and audience to gain woke points and "legitimacy" trying to reinvent himself into the new Larry King while he'll try to claim he invented the format. He's also a sad out of touch old man who still thinks he's got him finger on the pulse. & last for one of the ugliest guys who ever walked the earth he's vain and has deluded himself into thinking his over the hill trophy wife married him for love.

Opie's a man who never achieved the "Greatness" he thought he deserved and blames everyone except the guy in the mirror. Oh whatever his mom's mental illness was he inherited it.

Last the man of the Thread Nana is a creep on every level he's a racist pedophile who has been able to "hide" in plain and never get massively called out on his shit because he's too small for anyone important to care about. He's now relegated to the bottom feeders of his circle which is saying something and trying to start beefs with people who left him in the rear view mirror years ago.
 
I wonder who he'll sign to Compound to replace Chrissie Mayr. He could probably get one of her porn star guests, but they tend to be unreliable.

Probably one of her fellow dumb broads from the Simpcast.

As for Opie, he was the needed straight man on the show that Ant could use as a foil. He was never funny, but the show would have been weird without him.

I hate when people come out with this. Opie was not even a good fucking straight man. I've been listening through the Louis CK appearances on the show, and Opie can't even hold a fucking conversation without stepping all over everyone. He has no ability to entertain in any way. He's even worse in celebrity interviews.

He's the luckiest dullard to ever live.

If he was such a detriment to the show then why was the show successful for 20 years? No one is saying he was some gift to shock jock radio. The dude was as vanilla as they come, but that worked with someone like Anthony on the other side of him. Once Jim came in, and the additions of Erock and Sam (to a lesser degree), it was a well rounded cast of misfits.

Opie was a shit stirring instigator and an overbearing asshole and troublemaker. That's what made him popular. Other than that he really didn't have the charisma to carry a show.

No one is saying that Opie could carry a show though. Just that he was an integral part of the O&A show by knowing all of the pieces he had at his disposal and using them correctly. This was always super apparent whenever Opie wasn't around (god forbid for multiple days) and Jim/Ant would just drive the show into the ground, directionlessly.

He wasn't always right and sometimes stepped on bits too early or let them go on too long - but he was far and away the best of the crew at making the show an actual show and not Jim Norton farting into a microphone while Anthony reads the paper and yells slurs.

People constantly post things to that effect when they're being critical of Ant or Jim though. I was responding to a comment just like that.

Nopie shows are some of the best stuff they ever did.

Over the past month I have listened to roughly 20 hours of old shows and the Opie has had exactly one good contribution, and he quickly followed it with "see, I'm funny too sometimes"

There are entire shows where his sole contribution is going to the phone.

All 3 of them are messes in their personal lives, but there's a reason greggshells is the only one who has no fanbase left. He's a terrible entertainer.

I don't know how you even type this when the guy was talking to 20 viewers on a good day when he tried to do his own thing.

He was surrounded by talented people. That's how the show worked. That's how they were all successful without him.

This is true.

It's also some of the worst stuff they ever did as well. There are whole shows that are just Anthony getting mad about the news of the day (aka Black People) for hours upon hours that's completely unlistenable.

A lot of people argue that Compound Media isn't a success but it's probably doing better than most would give it credit for. They were paying Artie $900k/year for the AA show.

How much of that was Opie and how much of that was their legion of interns? Credit where it's due, Opie was good with fundamental showrunning, but those are the things you're expected to be good at with such a large stage. Even then, he'd make rookie mistakes like going to the phones in the middle of a bit. He'd hear Patrice O'Neal riffing with Rich Vos and Bobby Kelly and think "you know what this needs right about? SNOWY FROM ARKANSAS! SNOWY, YOU'RE ON THE AIR? YEAH? YEAH? ALRIGHT, THANKS SNOWY!" Really??

Every train needs a conductor, but Opie was clearly the conductor who needed the train far more than it needed him.

By his own admission, the only people that ever did prep for the show was Sam and Sal. Since Opie didn't contribute by being spontaneously funny, not doing show prep seems like a bad idea. Maybe he just assumed that because the talented people in the room didn't need to prep, he didn't either.
 
Sorry for double posting.

I try not to post news from TACS clip channels on youtube because they're often really out of date. I can't find when this show was published, so I'm forced to assume it's recent.

Looks like Vice is/was trying to do a documentary on O&A. Anthony doesn't want any involvement in it due to his friendship with Gavin and his history with Vice.


Sorry if this is late but I don't recall ever hearing about it.
 
The vice documentary will be complete shit since it likely won't go into a lot of the more darker details with Anthony. It'll cover his firing from Sirius and maybe a little bit of his later endeavors, but it likely won't cover a lot of the internet drama and the other stuff that was covered in Beige's documentaries about him.
 
Honestly there isn't much that can be done to Anthony all the clowns still paying for Compound Media know all about his racist behavior and depravity he puts it on full display these days. Only if Vice finds some girl who was a minor when Nana fucked her and can prove it will he be fucked in any real way.

The one in danger from this and probably doesn't realize it is Jimmy since he's the one with a contract with Sirius-XM and could lose it if some of his past behavior and comments on the show are brought up in the current climate.

If you're looking to bust Ant on something, im almost positive he's transported minors across state lines to fuck them in a state with lower age of consent laws. He unironically memorized the age of consent laws of every state in New England.

Edit: or whatever he did to Bobo's sister in the hot tub.
