RIP Opie and Anthony

[Babyface Finster 45]

 

I'm bummed that O&A are coming to an end, but I suppose it had to happen eventually.

Is that official? I thought there was a possibility of reconsideration like the Duck Dynasty situation.

From my understanding, Anthony has said "I;m done with Sirius" or somesuch.  I suppose anything is possible.

Fair enough, but he's a bit of a hot head.  When he cools off he might find the paycheck and loyalty to the rest of the guys makes him reconsider.

 

Also, it is possible that the show will continue without him, at least for a while.  It won't be the same, but I'm not so sure that Opie and Jim will just walk away.  It looks like a pretty good gig to me.  They have plenty of comedian buddies to fill Anthony's chair.

As long as its not Jim Florentine. Mother of God I can't stand that guy

[Babyface Finster 45]

Florentine is a thousand times better than Tom Papa.

 

I would expect a rotating cast to include Burr, Attell, Amy Shumer, Voss, Breuer, Bob Kelley, etc. I doubt they will pick a permanent replacement, at least not in the short term.

I'm just assuming that they will run out the remainder of their current contract through October and then bail and set up a podcast network. They already have the following so they can probably make an easy transition and pick up sponsors. Unfortunately they probably won't get the same type of guests that they have in the past.

I prefer burr or Kelly.

 

Florentine and shumer make me want to punch babies.

I'm hoping that Joe Rogan stops by sometime soon also

Ron "Million Bucks" Bennington would be the  best replacement.  

[302w 83]

Mildly unrelated, but I've become a fan of the "Free Beer and Hotwings Show"

I love Ron, but the show would become more NPR less O&A.

 

Gary Soder is the only one I can see jumping in, they may try for Adam Corolla but where are you going to find someone as funny and edgy as Anthony.  None of the regulars can hack it.  CK is funnier but all the rest feed off Anthony more than anyone else.  Plus he was the only one with any common sense.

No one is gonna replace Ant. But some may make it tolerable until their contract is up.

Are you talking about Dan Soder?  I was laughing my ass off on the bit about Pit bulls and the little girl.  "Death Rolls on little girls"  "The dog was only giving the girl skull crushing kisses" lol.

My bad, thanks for the link, that whole day was hilarious. I liked him better than Jimmy.

Dan Soder would be a good option since he has a radio background. My only worry would be WAY too much wrestling talk

LOL the velociraptor of today.

He gave a complete account on Redeye on Fridays show. They spent the first 20 minutes discussing what happened.

 

 

Who is John Galt?

I am so excited I figured out how to change my signature.
