Opie and Anthony is unlistenable after getting into Ron and Fez. I understand how they are friends, but they do completely different shows and R&F is so much less hacky.

Ron is probably one of the funniest people on the planet. I remember right after they moved to satellite they were doing a show and they did an interview with a marine and the producer(I think it was Harry at the time, who was fat) tried to slip Ron a note about how it was the 150th anniversary of the Marines or some shit and Ron wrote him back a note that said "buy a cake and eat it" I lost my fucking shit when they talked about it on a later show.

I'm a massive fan of the early O&A stuff, along with that whole generation of Boston comics (Giraldo, Patrice, Louis, Maron, etc.)

I've never once listened to Ron and Fez except for the handful of times they called into O&A.

What's a great episode to start with?

Bennington is worse than O and J.

TACS is unlistenable garbage.

Really, the only solution is to listen to old Jocktobers on YouTube.

CAKE HORN

I heard an episode after Fez had a stroke, and it was awful and awkward. Has it gotten better?

Find Saint Patricks Day 2009, Fez gets drunk and starts attacking an intern obviously getting fed lines by producer East Side Dave.

>everybody hurts starts playing

I miss baby Hitler

>Giraldo is dead
>Patrice is dead
>Otto is dead

>Bennington is worse than O and J.

I don't believe thats even possible

Ron and Fez went through changes much more often than O&A, with a pretty large number of staff changes over the years, plus Fez's decade long descent into insanity. One that makes me laugh every time but doesn't require an understanding of the show is probably Ron's Umbrella.

youtube.com/watch?v=ssTv78Z5gsc

Like I said, though, there's a lot of different recurring themes, from long form craziness like Fez trying to get a cat to talk for 3 hours to East Side Dave losing a "Loser Leaves Town" bit and coming back dressed in a mask and cowboy hat, calling himself the Midnight Rider. Earl incompetency, Dave stunts, Fez craziness, Ron's puppet mastery and carny shit, Pepper Hicks being a savage.
I think that's how I thought of it at first, but once you get to know everybody you start to love the dead air and uncomfortability.

>Lady Di's boyfriend is dead

If Ron started a cult tomorrow I would join it. I was skeptical about his new show but I listen to it everyday now. Chris Stanley is still great, Ron is fucking Ron and his daughter Gale is actually a really fine broadcaster in her own right. She has a very sexy voice and it works with the rest of the show

I'll always miss Fez though, I even really loved listening to those super awkward shows where he basically cried the entire time, those were actually really fascinating

Why is everyone obsessed with Patrice? He told like 3 good stories. Otherwise, his shows were boring.

The decline of Fez into mental illness was fucking weird to experience. I remember when he was a true part of the show and it was great, but he gradually spiraled down and you couldn't stop listening. People that didn't used to listen never really got to see how hilarious he was and just got the yelly crying child that barely said 2 words a show

Nah, O&J is way worse, but Bennington is like an NPR show now. Every now and then you get something funny like when BL comes in or Ron talks about eating hooker's asses in front of his daughter, but Gail's bit got old after a month and the show is super repetitive.

I agree, most overrated guest ever. Honestly there were so many times where it was clear he had no clue what he was fucking talking about that I just stopped giving a shit about his opinion on anything. He could always put a funny spin on stuff but he was always the lowest-information voice in the room, that's why he was so susceptible to conspiracy theories.

Greatest guest they ever had was Nick DiPaolo in my opinion

Who cares about the stories? The comedian sit in shows were the best because of the banter. Patrice stroke announcement show was the absolute hardest I have ever laughed in my entire life.

>Plead guilty to breaking Dani's ribs
>probably not going to jail

How can anth ever talk shit on black people again?

jumped from stern to ron & fez after the artie lange addiction saga ended

love pepper hicks. Ron isn't mean enough on BANGton for me, but I understand it's a different show

You really fucking think he beat this insane whore? He's a complete piece of shit, but he's an expert at dropping crazy sluts, he's got no reason to beat them.

then why were RnF having to ride the coattails of their channel forever?

Do you even listen to it? It's really bad.

O and J are ok, but you can tell Opie and Jim hate each other. Opie went all paranoid after the Tranthony firing, and Jim feels betrayed by Opie not trusting him and his general career failure.

The biggest disappointment was Ant. The faggot had a long running bit about people getting fired for nothing. There was a long track record of Opie and Jim making allusions to how his alcoholism was destroying his life as he was missing/coming in late to shows. Then, the fucking closet case goes on a racial rant which shockingly gets the fucking idiot fired.

He then attacks Opie for not quitting, blaming him for all the ills in his life. Shockingly, he starts a failure of a podcast network, followed by abuse of one of his sycophants which culminates in him getting arrested and charged with major crimes. Then he goes to rehab - all the while losing his guns, losing all remaining respect, and no doubt at this point running low on available cash.

He then fucks a tranny, freaks out about it, and now is basically irrelevant.

I enjoy clips of Ron & Fez, but it was never a show that I could listen to daily.

most obviously because I hate Fez. I have never heard the "old fez" that people insist was GOAT, so take this however.

but there's also something abrasive about ron that makes me not want to ever click on the youtube upload of the newest episode.

part of it is that they take too many calls. R&F callers are a MILLION times better than O&A callers, but I still don't like callers.

I also appreciate that R&F are responsible for the radio careers of both East Side Dave and Pepper Hicks. I enjoy The East Side Dave Show and High Society Radio more than O&A or R&F.

I wish Shelby was still on Bennington. He is remarkably funny, but supposedly he's shitty to work with so they got rid of him.

He's an alcoholic. Of course he beat her. He probably beat Melissa up, too.

This is my favorite Patrice moment of all time
youtube.com/watch?v=TFfIUsppOBA
>Read this palm you gypsie bitch

Hey, I'm an alcoholic and I've never had the urge to hit a woman.

You also suck dick - just like Tranth.

>Opie paranoid

no, Ant is a geniune bag of shit, just look at all his personal problems, having to lick cop ass to get out of drunk driving all the time, etc

a piece of shit and opie gave him a chance

I don't even know what tranth means, I don't subscribe to Ant's podcast. Is he becoming a woman?

>It's a Fez is having a breakdown episode

talk radio is dead, lads.

and it's never coming back

it died when anthony couldn't keep the fuck off twitter

he pled guilty to it

of course, you can listen to his twisted logic about how taking a plea because you'd lose in a trial doesn't mean you're guilty

but it's weird how he doesn't accept that argument coming from black people

those episodes were honestly great

I was just listening to old audio of them. Ron is literally God tier.

Some days I couldn't help but think it was an act.

Like the Steak and Shake episode. No one is that genuinely retarded.

Opie certainly is, but for good reason. Listen to Bobo's last appearance on O and J - Bobo got sucked into the compound parties which are nothing but 'suck ant's dick while shitting on Opie fests' in Rosyln Heights. Bobo parroted everything scumbags chant to Ant to keep the parties going.

>it's a Ron propagates his best friend's mental illness for entertainment episode
>it's a two co-dependent lunatics feed their senses of self loathing episode

No, he fucked Sue Lightning, a Transexual Porn Star who looks like a 14 year old girl/boy. Ant immediately denied it and threatened legal action over anyone who spread the news.

I don't think you were supposed to believe it. It was supposed to be like an old school Al Dukes bit where you rile up the listeners. Then it got real, which Ron probably expected but Fez and Hicks/Shelby didn't realize they were being manipulated into.

>It's a Pepper Hicks is a degenerate alcoholic episode
>It's a Black Earl is an incompetent nigger episode

it died during the 2008 presidential campaign

Less exciting. I assumed he'd banged trannies loads of times, the guy lives like Caligula.

Bobo should have died years ago. Its just not funny now that he accepts he has no chance.

Steve C dying was gold. I wish somebody had shot Master Poe.

Again, it's not like a staple bit was radio people getting fired for minor shit on social media.

Who knew typing NIGGER 40,302 times would get you fired?

does she have a feminine penis?

Do you think it started then?

>that one time they're fucking with Bobo over the fun and Jimmy just breaks down and tells him to stop it and go home so they don't get fired

Classic

THEYRE SAVAGESSSSSAS

Did Ant suck off Richard in that tree house?

youtu.be/F8HKT7fVjH8

More of an O&A listener but this clip is one of my favorite moments ever

it would be rude not to

I'm going to go to Panera and get you fired.

Sue lightening looks like shit without make up.

How much money was Fez making all those years he did basically jack shit for the show?

...

Can we all agree that Dani is a saint?

Probably as much as Ant wastes weekly with his Manhattan Studio.

She literally did nothing wrong.

IF Opie were the shitbag the Ant sycophants claim, he would let Dani have a show.

>it's a Dave is a carnival geek episode but then wants to be taken seriously episode
>it's an interchangeable female intern is on the air for no reason other than Ron wants to talk to them episode

I lost it at "paint my way out of it".

Probably a million a year or close to it. Dave couldn't get gas money from Sirius and had to quit.

>purple hair

Dave did nothing. There was no reason to pay him.

it's weird being a relative latecomer to the O&A universe.

I got into the Davey Mac Sports Program a while back, and listened to the entire archive. it is one of the greatest things ever created

among longtime O&A fans, I'd post about how much more I like it than O&A

then they'd dismiss it because it's "the guy who puts stuff in his ass"

old R&F clips with ESD are pretty funny, but I can see how nobody would respect him after listening to them.

I consider myself pretty lucky for not having that prejudice. Dave is a genius and although the DMSP and ESDS are so bizarre, there's something very sincere and moving about him.

Dave was great. Fez did nothing, there was no reason to pay him.

didn't he get Ichiban branded on his ass too?

>Black Earl

oh goddamnit I just got a nostalgia rush

that guy was one incompetent fucking nigger

he also inspired the single greatest piece of production in radio history:
youtube.com/watch?v=UQH3Gr4_Xe4

Dave, shouldn't you be taking care of your retard son?

His life is pretty terrible. Casey cheated on him multiple times, refused to get a job, at least one of the kids isn't even his, and then divorced him.

>Jack shit
Controversy makes cash baby. Fez losing his mind was entertaining as heck. It's kinda like artie on the last 3 years on stern. That was the greatest radio ever. Fights with richard, sal, highpitch mike, gary, teddy, howard. The stories, the lies. I'm sure it was hell for the staff in both cases but my god was it great. And listening to fez's last couple of years was simply CRAZY.

So I have never listened to any O&A but I just found a playlist of all the episodes that have Bill Burr in them so I'm going through it. All of the "stunts" and shit where they bring girls in or have some retarded person step on mouse traps are so cringe worthy. The segments where they just chat about whatever are much better until Opie inevitably has to crash the conversation in order for them to move onto the next clip they have to play or something equally as shit.

Also, she's the reason he quit R&F.

HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON

Hicks' giddy laughter is so good

Without Opie, you get meandering conversation for hours with nothing but the same joke over and over again. Listen to any TACS show with Jim or Nopie show. Fucking unlistenable.

Keep in mind the atmosphere they were performing in, it came with the territory and they did at least do a lot less fake shit than other people. Opie is definitely a hack, though.

Unfortunately Burr rarely sits in with other comics, so doesn't get to be a part of the BRUTAL trashtalking.

youtube.com/watch?v=n1n0du3nJ4Y

Why is Lange so fucking disgusting?

>They had fun without me.

Why is Opie such a little faggot?

Hicks birthday is so good even on relisten.

As opposed to the passive aggressive cunt who made a fake twitter account and would text his ex girlfriend rather than confront his coworker?

Colin was always my favorite guest

damn she divorced him? I've been out of the loop on poor old Dave

fuck man that sucks, Davey Mac is such a nice guy, I really loved listening to the chemistry he had with Pepper on the Davey Mac Sports Program

it really kills me that the world hasn't rewarded Dave with millions of dollars and worldwide fame

there was a long stretch where I was working a job that had me by myself midnight until 3AM. I put on 3 Davey Mac episodes a night.

this guy was making a show unlike anything I've ever heard. he's talking sports, then he starts screaming, then he starts singing.

and I'm by myself in a big place late at night, feeling lonely.

sometimes the songs LITERALLY BROUGHT ME TO TEARS

WHAT THE FUCK AM I LISTENING TO? HOW CAN THIS BEAUTY EXIST IN THIS CRUEL WORLD? FOR NO MONEY! FOR THE LOVE OF BROADCASTING! BECAUSE HE MUST CREATE HIS ART! I DO NOT DESERVE THIS!

youtu.be/hWmu0Zwnnxs

it was a really weird time for me. I felt like I was having a panic attack when I got to the end of the archives.

Ant was a patsy and you know it.

>everyone's talking like this is so shocking, what's shocking about two long island wops meeting and fornicating like rabbits?

Earl is one of the most fascinating people to ever be on radio. It's almost fictional how much of a liar he was. He would lie directly in front of people who knew he was wrong, then fight about it even when there was proof.

Earl was absolute useles scum, and I loved it so much.

His show on Ant's thing is pretty good from what I have seen of it. He puts on a suit and sort of plays it like a Letterman thing but of course with the completely off his nut Dave McDonald. So he'll be sitting there in a suit talking about how he's going to bomb Sirius tomorrow, and saying he's not joking at all.

Steve C, E-Rock, and Sam were the best staff members.

She a good girl

Best E-Rock bits are when they need to kill the last hour of the show and just go after him for no reason, like the time he put his hand on Opie's sister's leg. It was one of the few times Opie really had me laughing. The guy just always seems so fucking defeated, and the fat jokes flow like water, I don't know how they do it.

Opie is funny don't get me wrong but his shtick is SJW straightman cancer, he takes no risks, the voice of reason gets old after a while. At least he laughs at at funny shit though, but Yimmy is the only thing salvaging the show.

Sam sucked for the longest time, but he really became his own later on.
E-Rock is God tier.
Steve C was pretty good.

I think Mars deserves some love. He seems like a nice guy but won't take shit from people like Danny.

pepper looks at Sup Forums youtu.be/iQSPg-HjDnk

HEY PEPPER DO THE FUCKING EAST SIDE DAVE SHOW

that pogues song just doesn't sound the same without you

>I hope there's fukken AIDS piss in your damn Schwepps

>Pepe's in all of us
>#dankmemes
all my keks

yeah, it's pretty great. Roy was pretty funny on DMSP, but he's really stepped up since Pepper hasn't done the show. he is such a strange man.

and Flutesy is actually funny. Dave is fucking brutal to her, and she rolls with it pretty good. she is not at all a Hole. I'm glad she came over

and I love the monologue. it's like getting a few more minutes of The World's Worst Comedian.

but the songs don't sound as good as they did on DMSP. I guess the vibe was just better for jamming at Skinnyman.

>takes no risks

>alcoholism
>no steady revenue
>assault charges
>evidence of tranny banging

Yeah, Opie really needs to live more like Ant,

I mean, TACS is shit, but that's just blasphemous.
