It should have been the Patrice and Ant show. Pour derailed that shit with dumb phone calls and irrelevant horse shit. And look at Opie now, off I’m obscurity. RIP Patrice
Opie has really feminine tendencies. Along with showing signs of being on the autistic spectrum . Always has . Don't believe me ? Go check out some of his early work BEFORE Opie & Anthony. Opie legitimately did the kind of morning zoo goofball radio shit that they would have goofed on for jocktober 😂
Nobody brought a funny bit to an end like Opie did. Patrice and Anthony would be cracking each other up and then all of a sudden you heard “Rob in Philly what’s up?”
I remember the scene where Moe tells Homer at an modern art show put on by Homer, that he’ll give him $10 for a bird trapped in one of the modern art pieces of it’s still alive. Then it cuts to the bird who’s no longer crowing. I wondered if the bird heard Moe and decided to shut up to avoid being bought by Moe or if it actually died. Such was the layered Brilliance of Simpson’s comedy at the time and the depth of each character. You just knew Moe was hated. 😂
Patrice was the guy who was there to give everyone a piece of mind. He was and STILL IS helping so many people not follow through with the permanent solution to a temporary problem. He saves so many people. The man has a legacy.
Anthony could go toe to toe with any comedian that was in that studio. Great comics have been quoted as saying he had one of the quickest minds in comedy. I remember a moment when they were talking about how there's all these new diseases today and how its all bullshit, and Jimmy says " When I was a kid I had AHBD" Anthony asks "whats that?" Then Jimmy, trying to think quick, stumbles out "uh Adorable Huggable Boy Disorder" and without missing a beat as Jimmy was finishing the word "Disorder" Anthony says "Well I'm glad to see you've been cured". Jimmy couldn't get over how quick that came out but the crazy part is that Anthony had moments like that CONSTANTLY.
Making my way through opie an anthony episodes with patrice oneal and for a while, I just assumed anthony was a comedian that also happens to do radio, he is brilliant and his impressions added an extra flair
Yes, technically he just said " you're cured" but yeah he's the goat. The laughs he got out of Jimmy and Patrice were incredible. Seriously, go through as much Patrice content as you can find and tell me if anyone got Patrice laughing as hard as Anthony did and consistently.
After Patrice passed away, it seemed the show died with him; just very slowly & more painful. Anthony, Patrice, and Yimmy has some of the greatest dialogue I’ve ever heard on a radio/podcast.
I also think if Patrice was alive we'd have an alternate timeline where he'd mediate the problems between the guys and the show would've carried on. Everyone respected and listened to Patrice because he was brilliant, brutally honest, unafraid to say what he felt, and was always right. Opie and him were really tight and as much as an insecure douche Opie is, he would've listened to Patrice. Ant's firing situation is one factor but after Patrice passed, that enormous force he carried to make the show died with him. There was no one else who might have saved the show but him and keep the guys together.
I don’t know. They were pretty funny without Patrice up in Boston. Anthony was a riot. There are a lot of men up in Boston that are still thankful to this day for WOW. 🤣
Opie was afraid of black people so he kept his hole behavior to a minimum around Patrice. Without the occasional brush back by Patrices verbal pimp hand the Nopester went full cunt and made everyone else uncomfortable to the point that two radio shows broke up, O&A and Opie and Jimmy were both scuttled by opies inner hole persona. As long as Patrice was alive opie towed the line fearing on air abuse from the one person for some reason Opie would take it from.
@@From-North-Jersey You're wrong about so much in one paragraph it's hard to believe you're not doing it on purpose. Rather than rebut it point by point I'll just remind you Opie is the one who selected the guests and he could have stopped Patrice from being on the air any time he wanted. So that fucks your premise in the ass.
Anthony really did have that background as a tradesman, he knew what a hard days work was like and a failed marriage too. Greg used to always say "he's been doing radio since he was 18" which made him uniquely qualified to have little to no idea of what life is like outside of million dollar contracts, the saddest part is if Opie was the one who left, the Jim and Anthony show would've probably been a hit 🤔
Lol you don’t start with million dollar contracts, you start making literally nothing or very little. He probably didn’t make a decent living for years.
Opie had to slave away at a gold course as a Caddy... And had to drive a 2nd hand car in High School.. You can't imagine how tough that was.... Something.. Something.. Powdered milk
You know Patrice is the GOAT when he wasn't mentioned once here and besides his short lived spin off show was technically just a regular guest on their show, and yet all these comments are paying him respect and mentioning his name RIP
Anthony had the ability to gel with any comedian on the show. Which helped add to the atmosphere of funny. Honestly, he was just as funny as any guest comedian on the program.
Redresseny Definitely a very talented guy I just didn’t get the racism and how come he felt it was OK to say for those episodes. For a guy who has critical thinking skills it was amazing to see that it was OK for him to blame an entire group of people over the crimes of a few. He never saw the hypocrisy in that

@johnjames3311 Idk about other states but we 100% do the same in Texas 😂 I used to commute daily on I45 Houston, one of the most dangerous highways in U.S. Everytime there was an accident we'd be like "Some dbags crashed and now holding up traffic!" 😂
And his laugh dude lmao that is a real CACKLE. It's so distinct and hilarious lol watch the Charlie sheen roast when Patrice goes on and you can hear that Cumia cackle in the audience lmao
Both Ant and Jimmy have said numerous times that they had their parts and/or made mistakes yada yada yada BUT ive never heard the Opster take any responsibility
That’s cause he barley took part of the best parts of the show. Ant and the comedians and guest made the show not opie. Guy barley spoke during the show
The O&A show was the best radio the tri-state area had back in those days, far superior to Stern... but lets be honest, Anthony WAS the reason it was so good. Opie knew it, too. Anthony is a real talent.
I've gone to compilations of Ant making Jim laugh, just to hear it for a few minutes, not even the whole thing. It's just nice to hear someone funny making someone laugh, someone who appreciates the funny. Two funny guys, making each other laugh. In terms of core dynamic, with no Patrice or Louis or Burr or anyone else in studio, it was the chemistry between Ant and Jim that that made it worth listening to, albeit in the knowledge that you'd have to suffer Opie's permanenstruation. Opie ended up paneling that show, but beyond that, he started to sabotage the funny by going to calls, or texts. Cutting the legs out from under them, _and_ people like Patrice and Louis.
words wpns He’s not a racist, and I don’t even necessarily agree with all his political views. If you don’t like what he does, simple, just stop listening. That’s the beauty of podcast, television, radio etc. The free market will decide if there is a place for Ant in entertainment. I’m tired of listening to milk toast comedy where everything is politically correct and nobody is offended.
words wpns I’ve heard him say worse about disabled people, why aren’t you defending them ? I’m not going to argue with you on UA-cam. If you don’t like what he does don’t listen.
words wpns let what go ? He’s a millionaire, they both are. They have started radio wars for years against other stations, it’s just what they do. This just confirms that you like shitty comedy where nobody gets hurt.
Yup! Cumia is fucking hilarious. Been listening to him for years & from day 1 i heard his wit & humor & his classic impressions.. dude is talented as fuck
That was really the greatest radio program. I use to live Howard, but once I heard them, I was hooked. I always felt it was Opies wife that got into his head.
Anthony and Jimmy carried Opie! Ant and Jim together is pure comedy while Opie always brought the funny to a halt. It should have always been the Jimmy and Anthony show
Opie basically confirmed this saying he felt like he was losing his show and wanted to leave- he didn't know how to interact with Anthony and Jim- became a bystander
Anthony had a couple of moments in his new book where he helped somebody and is upset they didn't appreciate it as much as he would have liked. Probably how Opie feels about everybody he's ever worked with.
Time article said he twiddles his own knobs. They all used to hang at the Brooklyn Diner before the show and Jimmy would see Opie off air. That dynamic was gone after the Sam Adams firing. Then there was resentment over girlfriends that surfaced and Opie changed after Linsay came along
Man idk. Opie discovered Anthony. If it wasn't for Opie he'd still be working construction somewhere and no one would have ever heard of him. Opie may not be as funny or quick but he was a great straight man and director
@Diss Raps yes it was Opies Nighttime Attitude until he found talented people and had success. Once the talent was gone he again fell back into obscurity
Jimmy always said he was the coat tail rider. When the 3 of them were banging on all cylinders in 2001 and 2002, it was lightning in a bottle. Great callers too. The show is perfect for Behind the Music
6:49 “Jimmy is a loyalty driven guy.” That’s an insane statement. He turned his back on Dice who gave him his first job. He turned his back on Louis Ck who gave him a role on his shows. He turned on Opie who gave him a career. And he ditched Ant when he was fired to keep his job with Opie. Jimmy has no loyalty.
Ant knew what real work was so he was humble to put up with a guy he didn’t like just to keep the radio gig running.... Opie been doing radio since he was 18 🤣
My favorite episode of O and A is when they had Gahleger on and Anothony and Patrice were clowning on him and making him super uncomfortable the whole time😂
So one big issue they had was for Anthony, it was strictly a professional relationship, like business partners. While Opie wanted them to be more like friends/family? I mean, I get it. You work with someone that long for two decades, but some people just look at it as work. No matter how long.
True, Opie had a couple of so-so moments. 99% of the time, anything remotely funny that came out of Opie's mouth was something he was repeating verbatim that Ant, Patrice or Jimmy already said.
@Shahaan Singh Guraya if you listen to the Patrice episodes that are on UA-cam they go into why they aren't as close off air anymore. Ants ex wife was friends with opies. The distance started there.
@@danielgrinnell9998 the whole point was that's a really stupid thing to get angry at someone for. Never been to your house? Fuck off, we're coworkers. We aren't dating.
This was really eye-opening. I always thought Anthony was the funnier guy on the show, and of course love Jim Norton. I wasn’t a regular listener to O & A, although I was for a while, and I was listening in my car when the whole St. Patrick’s Cathedral thing happened. I remember thinking that might get them in trouble. I didn’t know how bad the fallout was going to be. I genuinely think if Anthony wanted to do stand-up, and put an hour together he would sell out theaters. I have heard similar sentiments from some very successful comedians. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Anthony is tremendously talented, Jim Norton too. I think they still needed a good third person in there to help drive the conversation. Patrice was often great for that. The support staff for OnA also really helped the show along.
3:00 The next time I have a bad day a work where a co-worker gets on my nerves, I can take heart knowing that I didn’t have to deal with someone like Opie the way Anthony and Jimmy did.
7:00 Opie could dish it out but could never take it. It was always funny hearing him have a meltdown when someone would make fun of him in response to something he did.
@ANYTHNG G03S yes. Patrice was raw and real on a way that no other comic has been. Inspirational and thought provoking while making you piss your pants.
He speaks about Opie "throwing him under the bus" for being late as if it's no big deal to be late to work. We'll that kind of attitude gets pretty old. Especially when, by his own admission that it was on a regular basis. It's not as if they were working some office job. They are going on the air at a set time. How does he not think about his partner and the anxiety the guy has to go through wondering if this is the day that he has to carry the show all the while pretending that Anthony isn't late. What about the fact that if Opie did the same thing, the execs would find out about that pretty much immediately. The guy that's always late doesn't seem to appreciate the person who is not and has to always carries that burden. So the guy lets you know on air that its getting old, that doesn't clue you in that you need to fix it somehow? Instead you take that as some dick move on his part? Most people deal with traffic on their commute, normal grown ups understand that that means you are gonna be early to work most days so that you would be prepared for the worst. I'm not taking sides, nor do I feel compelled to, but that example there was trash. I fucking hate coworkers that rely on you to cover for them constantly, especially in the case of Anthony, who seems to be oblivious to it and not appreciate it at all. How many years did he have to put up with it until he finally did something about it?
Yes he shouldn't be late but Opie only bitched out and would mention Ant being late because Opie had zero talent to talk for 10 minutes without ant . Shit jim was there most days it wasn't like he was by himself.
If someone was paying me that kind of money for doing a talk show & I lived 30 miles from Manhattan I would leave my house 2 hours before I had to be at work.
Ant needs to acknowledge that Opie actually put in the work prepping topics for each day. For ant it was 4 hours of chilled chatting but Opie was doing more. Now Ant is making excuses for being late, this is hilarious. Of course, Anti is infinitely more hilarious than Opie but this tunnel vision is ridiculous.
VitaminD travis emailed them stories the night before, they read the paper, ant would talk about shit he heard on the radik driving in. By the second half of their satellite days they both acknowledged not doing real show prep and the relaxed nature made the show better imo compared to prior years.
Can you imagine what it’s like to have a great job and then one day realize that you only have it because the boss doesn’t understand that you suck at it? That’s devastating if you care about your profession. I’m sympathetic with Opie in that regard. I was going to say that he should have worked at it more, but I don’t know that it would have helped.
If Opie sucked why can't Jimmy or Anthony do shit without him? Jim and Sam is boring and frankly pretty lazy. They are just going through the motions. Anthony can't put a good show together either. Remember when you dummies were all excited about Anthony and Artie? That show was just awful. Opie's show at SirusXM was the best of the post O&A shows. Out of the three he's the only one who knows how to do radio. And he had a very successful radio career before he ever met Anthony. Although I heard Anthony did quality duct work, that's something I guess.
@@michaeldonnan6767 I’m not talking about whatever Opie did behind the scenes. I’m also not talking about his career as a music DJ. I’m talking about his main job, the reason he was overpaid the big bucks-his on-air performance on talk radio. For that, I don't need process of elimination guesswork, I've listened to the old O&A shows, his Sirius stuff and his Westwood one podcast. He's abysmal. I agree with you that Norton and Cumia are in decline. But I’m impressed that a couple of aging drunks and perverts with more than enough money can do anything at all.
@@exapplerrelppaxe7952 You're free to set aside things like logic and real world results and state your opinion as if it has some sort of validity outside of your own skull. The truth is the old O&A show was arguably the best of that genre of radio ever. Opie was the architect/creator of the show, the show runner and the lead voice. He's the one who decided it would be edgy and cringey but lighthearted. He hired the cast and crew. He wrote ALL the bits, made ALL the plans, made ALL the decisions. Anthonys only job was to show up and try to think of something funny to say. And the show was wildly successful. So when you say "He's abysmal" you just sound stupid.
@@michaeldonnan6767 And all that behind the scenes stuff means nothing if you can't get on the air and execute. Otherwise, program directors would have taken over radio. Speaking of execution, you've avoided talking about Opie's on-air ability. That pretty much says it all.
@@exapplerrelppaxe7952 If I really have to spoon feed it to you I will. "... the show was arguably the best of that genre... he was the lead voice... the show was wildly successful.." If you are the lead voice on a very successful radio show you don't suck at your job. If Opie wasn't good on the air the show never would have been syndicated across the country. You're trying to argue with success. The world does not share your dopey opinion.
All on O&A were absolute scumbags on their own right, it's somewhat impressive to see every single one of them going into conversations in full scuba suits dodging skeleton after skeleton honestly i can't believe any of them... and Patrice gone.
They're all on Spotify now... well except this episode, and the ones with Milo Yiannopoulos, and certain other ones. The Alex Jones episodes didnt make it either. Some people complained about the Alex Jones not being on Spotify. And they said it was some kind of technical issue, corrupted data or something that happened when they were transferring them (it only affects certain episodes apparently). Idk if they "fixed" it yet 🤷♀️

@@user-cd2cz3tv3u For sure. Definitely dont blame Rogan. I think it's more the ❄ 🐈s working at Spotify. Rogan is great, and deserves every penny of that 100 mil.
It’s obvious that opie feeling that he was putting in the majority of the work for the show ...a radio show takes WAY more than 4 hours a day of work ...Anthony got by on his talent but opie put in the work
I agree. But the comedy came from Anthony and Jim once Jimmy was full time. I think Opie was jealous that he was doing a ton of behind the scenes work and didn't get as much credit. But it was still his show and the fans liked him, wish they could have worked it out.
Jimmy is a loyal person? Lets ask Louie about that statement. Jimmy would stab anyone in the back if you promised him a raise and a "date" with a transgender call girl.
Exactly what i was just thinking anthony and jimmy are mad funny but they are kind of weasels when it comes to being straight with people...lol dont think anthony has watched the the worm has turned documentary of jim
I just stated listening to the radio show because of Patrice’s perspective of women… first I became a fan of Patrice then I became a fan of Anthony mind you his voice is what caught my attention I still haven’t searched the web for Opie (RIP Patrice 🙏🏼)
He tried to pull that you never invited me shit to Patrice, who then invited him straight away to his next event, and Opie immediately weaselled his way out of it
This is funny hearing him talk about not calling people out for being late as there's an entire hour long video clip of all of them fucking with erock for being late
It’s also funny too when he mentions the guy that made the parody song about lacy Peterson. Saying the guy was trying to go viral, sounds kinda dickish to say being ant was making parody videos trying to make it back then too. Jealous much?

The Prestige is an amazing movie
Yes, yes it is
The O&A show was the best radio the tri-state area had back in those days, far superior to Stern... but lets be honest, Anthony WAS the reason it was so good. Opie knew it, too. Anthony is a real talent.
I've gone to compilations of Ant making Jim laugh, just to hear it for a few minutes, not even the whole thing. It's just nice to hear someone funny making someone laugh, someone who appreciates the funny. Two funny guys, making each other laugh.
In terms of core dynamic, with no Patrice or Louis or Burr or anyone else in studio, it was the chemistry between Ant and Jim that that made it worth listening to, albeit in the knowledge that you'd have to suffer Opie's permanenstruation.
Opie ended up paneling that show, but beyond that, he started to sabotage the funny by going to calls, or texts. Cutting the legs out from under them, _and_ people like Patrice and Louis.
It's just as well, you never really understood the show.
@@michaeldonnan6767 HEY SNOWAYYY
Fuck man all of this just makes me miss patrice. Would be a great guy to hear from anytime in the last 4 or 5 years
A Patrice and Anthony show would have been amazing
"I don't wanna bash the guy"
Proceeds to bash the guy.
He said he didn't want to...not he wouldn't
he didnt bash him enough
L
Clearly you’ve never seen a pissed off anthony cumia if you think this is bashing bro
Ant was holding back.
I fucking love Anthony, nobody makes me laugh so much. Thank you joe for making this happen !
words wpns He’s not a racist, and I don’t even necessarily agree with all his political views. If you don’t like what he does, simple, just stop listening. That’s the beauty of podcast, television, radio etc.
The free market will decide if there is a place for Ant in entertainment.
I’m tired of listening to milk toast comedy where everything is politically correct and nobody is offended.
words wpns I’ve heard him say worse about disabled people, why aren’t you defending them ?
I’m not going to argue with you on UA-cam. If you don’t like what he does don’t listen.
words wpns let what go ? He’s a millionaire, they both are. They have started radio wars for years against other stations, it’s just what they do.
This just confirms that you like shitty comedy where nobody gets hurt.
Yup! Cumia is fucking hilarious. Been listening to him for years & from day 1 i heard his wit & humor & his classic impressions.. dude is talented as fuck
@@andreazola2161Anthony is definitely racist af lol
That was really the greatest radio program.
I use to live Howard, but once I heard them, I was hooked.
I always felt it was Opies wife that got into his head.
Excellent point. Like a Yoko situation.
Shit yeah. After the divorce he seemed to have shifted gears. Post Sex for Sam, even deeper.
Patrice & Anthony together were amazing
Anthony and Patrice were the best comedy duo I've ever heard in my life.
those RACIST fucks fuck them and YOU too for liking them pigs
Anthony and Jimmy carried Opie! Ant and Jim together is pure comedy while Opie always brought the funny to a halt. It should have always been the Jimmy and Anthony show
Yet they are all trash apart from eachother.
Zzzzz
Patrice and anthony were something else bro legends
He looks a lot healthier than he did when he was on o&a
Opie basically confirmed this saying he felt like he was losing his show and wanted to leave- he didn't know how to interact with Anthony and Jim- became a bystander
Anthony had a couple of moments in his new book where he helped somebody and is upset they didn't appreciate it as much as he would have liked.
Probably how Opie feels about everybody he's ever worked with.
Opie was the straight man and I think it got to him that he was being shit on. That job is important. Should have been comfortable with that
Time article said he twiddles his own knobs.
They all used to hang at the Brooklyn Diner before the show and Jimmy would see Opie off air.
That dynamic was gone after the Sam Adams firing.
Then there was resentment over girlfriends that surfaced and Opie changed after Linsay came along
Opie is the definition of a “coattail rider”
Man idk. Opie discovered Anthony. If it wasn't for Opie he'd still be working construction somewhere and no one would have ever heard of him. Opie may not be as funny or quick but he was a great straight man and director
@Diss Raps yes it was Opies Nighttime Attitude until he found talented people and had success. Once the talent was gone he again fell back into obscurity
@@MrMustacrackish he was a good straight man till the layers years of the show last four years or so Opie was just cancer
@@MrMustacrackish Right...I discovered Lebron. Pay me
Jimmy always said he was the coat tail rider.
When the 3 of them were banging on all cylinders in 2001 and 2002, it was lightning in a bottle.
Great callers too.
The show is perfect for Behind the Music
6:49 “Jimmy is a loyalty driven guy.” That’s an insane statement. He turned his back on Dice who gave him his first job. He turned his back on Louis Ck who gave him a role on his shows. He turned on Opie who gave him a career. And he ditched Ant when he was fired to keep his job with Opie. Jimmy has no loyalty.
He also won’t touch Anthony anymore since he has gone completely off the deep end. Cumia can’t get a guest above the E-list on his show.
@@sdot5389 that’s absolutely right. His big get is Geno Bisconte and Kevin Brennan.
As Patrice would say, Opie had the personality of flypaper
If Patrice thought that he would have said it. He didn't. Man up and own your own opinions. Don't hid behind Patrice's dead corpse.
Please post the link or you're obviously using Patrice name for likes
When was that said?
Ant knew what real work was so he was humble to put up with a guy he didn’t like just to keep the radio gig running.... Opie been doing radio since he was 18 🤣
I’d trade opie and Anthony for Patrice O’Neal every day of the week
I wouldn't. I'd trade Joe for him though
I'd trade every female comedian for Patrice O'neal.
Trade Opie for Patrice, don’t get rid of Anthony
@@guitarsANDcars39 Every female comedian besides Rita Rudner, to make up the difference in lost biomass I'll throw in Will Ferrel to keep Rita safe.
@@guitarsANDcars39 I’d trade them for a decent sandwich 🧐
My favorite episode of O and A is when they had Gahleger on and Anothony and Patrice were clowning on him and making him super uncomfortable the whole time😂
That was actually messed up it almost made me hate Patrice
Finally joe interviews someone that helped joe stay relevant
So one big issue they had was for Anthony, it was strictly a professional relationship, like business partners. While Opie wanted them to be more like friends/family? I mean, I get it. You work with someone that long for two decades, but some people just look at it as work. No matter how long.
Ant and Jimmy were always the two funniest guys on the show. Opie had a few moments here and there, but not like the others.
True, Opie had a couple of so-so moments. 99% of the time, anything remotely funny that came out of Opie's mouth was something he was repeating verbatim that Ant, Patrice or Jimmy already said.
The Patrice Anthony Norton chemistry was classic. So many hilarious rants and I suggest to listen to the Independence Day Movie rant. Classic
Opie blocked me on Twitter because I mentioned that his podcast sucks
Stephen Dexheimer it’s his right
He must have blocked a lot of people by now.
Cumia is a real talent. This guy's take on any subject is always spot on.
You spelled racist pedo, wrong
I love Opie and Anthony so much, changed my life in so many positive ways, I love all the regulars on the show, the staff, and yes even you Opie.
Opie and Jimmy truly was horrible show. Only highlights were when Jim made Opster cry for his douchebaggery.
I don’t think any of the shows those three had/have on their own is anything close t to as good as the actual O&A show
It was bad but they had contracts to finish and without Ant we were left with an awkward husk of a show that most fans knew would never last.
What episode does opie cry ? Lol i wanna hear that
Yeah I wanna hear the crying too
@@Rdmz805 he meant figuratively
Anthony is as funny as any comedian out there! Love that guy!
"You've never even been to my house!" Did Opie ever invite him?
@Shahaan Singh Guraya you never just swing by a friend's house?
@Shahaan Singh Guraya if you listen to the Patrice episodes that are on UA-cam they go into why they aren't as close off air anymore. Ants ex wife was friends with opies. The distance started there.
@@danielgrinnell9998 the whole point was that's a really stupid thing to get angry at someone for. Never been to your house? Fuck off, we're coworkers. We aren't dating.
@@danielgrinnell9998 uh, no. Not without an invite.
@@heather1081 then your friends don't like you enough to give you an open invitation.
This was really eye-opening. I always thought Anthony was the funnier guy on the show, and of course love Jim Norton. I wasn’t a regular listener to O & A, although I was for a while, and I was listening in my car when the whole St. Patrick’s Cathedral thing happened. I remember thinking that might get them in trouble. I didn’t know how bad the fallout was going to be. I genuinely think if Anthony wanted to do stand-up, and put an hour together he would sell out theaters. I have heard similar sentiments from some very successful comedians. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
no man on earth has made me cry laughing more than Anthony Cumia. thank you for my early 2000s
Anthony is tremendously talented, Jim Norton too. I think they still needed a good third person in there to help drive the conversation. Patrice was often great for that. The support staff for OnA also really helped the show along.
I only ever listened when Patrice was on.
3:00
The next time I have a bad day a work where a co-worker gets on my nerves, I can take heart knowing that I didn’t have to deal with someone like Opie the way Anthony and Jimmy did.
Gotta almost come back for O and A memories best to ever do it
Patrice death did do damage to their show
The Prestige analogy was brilliant
Agreed.
Gregshells
You can really tell that Anthony and Jimmy are true friends just from the way Ant was talking about him here
Ant is the funniest fucker ever
Jimmy's pretty funny too
Anthony was the KING of impressions when he was on O&A
7:00 Opie could dish it out but could never take it. It was always funny hearing him have a meltdown when someone would make fun of him in response to something he did.
Patrice is that greatest comedian in the last 40 years. He took chances and believed his truth!
@ANYTHNG G03S I love Dave but yes
@ANYTHNG G03S yes. Patrice was raw and real on a way that no other comic has been. Inspirational and thought provoking while making you piss your pants.
Patrice greater tha chapel no doubt
No one is the greatest. Sorry to break the news.
I miss Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez ☹️☹️☹️☹️
Why is the full interview private?
Ant on his movies. Patrice 12 hrs on Opie and Anthony. Funny
Look at this back alley Tunisian knife fighter

I agree, Opie always seemed to me like a director. He wasn't unfunny, but fell behind Ant and Jim. He deserves credit for O&A.
Jeez. Anthony looks better and healthier than he did 15 years ago
Dating 20 year olds will do that to you.
@@TheGrimmCommoner *14 year olds
@@chrishansen8558 You're confusing Anthony with Andrew Cuomo.
Hes on TRT ! it screws you all up physically when your test levels are low
It's unbelievable more people don't know about O&A, it was the greatest show I'm radio history, by far. Which inspired the greatest podcast, JRE
Anthony is the best, love listening to his work, old and new.
Patrice Oneal’s appearances on the show was the best thing about it. RIP Dr. Phillip
He speaks about Opie "throwing him under the bus" for being late as if it's no big deal to be late to work. We'll that kind of attitude gets pretty old. Especially when, by his own admission that it was on a regular basis. It's not as if they were working some office job. They are going on the air at a set time. How does he not think about his partner and the anxiety the guy has to go through wondering if this is the day that he has to carry the show all the while pretending that Anthony isn't late. What about the fact that if Opie did the same thing, the execs would find out about that pretty much immediately. The guy that's always late doesn't seem to appreciate the person who is not and has to always carries that burden. So the guy lets you know on air that its getting old, that doesn't clue you in that you need to fix it somehow? Instead you take that as some dick move on his part? Most people deal with traffic on their commute, normal grown ups understand that that means you are gonna be early to work most days so that you would be prepared for the worst. I'm not taking sides, nor do I feel compelled to, but that example there was trash. I fucking hate coworkers that rely on you to cover for them constantly, especially in the case of Anthony, who seems to be oblivious to it and not appreciate it at all. How many years did he have to put up with it until he finally did something about it?
Yes he shouldn't be late but Opie only bitched out and would mention Ant being late because Opie had zero talent to talk for 10 minutes without ant . Shit jim was there most days it wasn't like he was by himself.
If someone was paying me that kind of money for doing a talk show & I lived 30 miles from Manhattan I would leave my house 2 hours before I had to be at work.
Opie: LEAVE IT ALONE
Also Opie: *Doesn't leave it alone*
Ant needs to acknowledge that Opie actually put in the work prepping topics for each day. For ant it was 4 hours of chilled chatting but Opie was doing more. Now Ant is making excuses for being late, this is hilarious. Of course, Anti is infinitely more hilarious than Opie but this tunnel vision is ridiculous.
VitaminD travis emailed them stories the night before, they read the paper, ant would talk about shit he heard on the radik driving in. By the second half of their satellite days they both acknowledged not doing real show prep and the relaxed nature made the show better imo compared to prior years.
Can you imagine what it’s like to have a great job and then one day realize that you only have it because the boss doesn’t understand that you suck at it? That’s devastating if you care about your profession. I’m sympathetic with Opie in that regard.
I was going to say that he should have worked at it more, but I don’t know that it would have helped.
If Opie sucked why can't Jimmy or Anthony do shit without him? Jim and Sam is boring and frankly pretty lazy. They are just going through the motions. Anthony can't put a good show together either. Remember when you dummies were all excited about Anthony and Artie? That show was just awful. Opie's show at SirusXM was the best of the post O&A shows. Out of the three he's the only one who knows how to do radio. And he had a very successful radio career before he ever met Anthony. Although I heard Anthony did quality duct work, that's something I guess.
@@michaeldonnan6767 I’m not talking about whatever Opie did behind the scenes. I’m also not talking about his career as a music DJ. I’m talking about his main job, the reason he was overpaid the big bucks-his on-air performance on talk radio. For that, I don't need process of elimination guesswork, I've listened to the old O&A shows, his Sirius stuff and his Westwood one podcast. He's abysmal.
I agree with you that Norton and Cumia are in decline. But I’m impressed that a couple of aging drunks and perverts with more than enough money can do anything at all.
@@exapplerrelppaxe7952 You're free to set aside things like logic and real world results and state your opinion as if it has some sort of validity outside of your own skull. The truth is the old O&A show was arguably the best of that genre of radio ever. Opie was the architect/creator of the show, the show runner and the lead voice. He's the one who decided it would be edgy and cringey but lighthearted. He hired the cast and crew. He wrote ALL the bits, made ALL the plans, made ALL the decisions. Anthonys only job was to show up and try to think of something funny to say. And the show was wildly successful. So when you say "He's abysmal" you just sound stupid.
@@michaeldonnan6767 And all that behind the scenes stuff means nothing if you can't get on the air and execute. Otherwise, program directors would have taken over radio. Speaking of execution, you've avoided talking about Opie's on-air ability. That pretty much says it all.
@@exapplerrelppaxe7952 If I really have to spoon feed it to you I will. "... the show was arguably the best of that genre... he was the lead voice... the show was wildly successful.." If you are the lead voice on a very successful radio show you don't suck at your job. If Opie wasn't good on the air the show never would have been syndicated across the country. You're trying to argue with success. The world does not share your dopey opinion.
Joe “is that book out now? Its in my house” Rogan
How has Joe "Weed" Rogan never watched The Prestige?!!
He's a poser.
All on O&A were absolute scumbags on their own right, it's somewhat impressive to see every single one of them going into conversations in full scuba suits dodging skeleton after skeleton honestly i can't believe any of them... and Patrice gone.
It always should’ve been Anthony and Jim
Why is the full episode private??
They're all on Spotify now... well except this episode, and the ones with Milo Yiannopoulos, and certain other ones. The Alex Jones episodes didnt make it either. Some people complained about the Alex Jones not being on Spotify. And they said it was some kind of technical issue, corrupted data or something that happened when they were transferring them (it only affects certain episodes apparently).

It’s obvious that opie feeling that he was putting in the majority of the work for the show ...a radio show takes WAY more than 4 hours a day of work ...Anthony got by on his talent but opie put in the work
I agree. But the comedy came from Anthony and Jim once Jimmy was full time. I think Opie was jealous that he was doing a ton of behind the scenes work and didn't get as much credit. But it was still his show and the fans liked him, wish they could have worked it out.
What work, scouring the headlines?!
bronsoninnit i see what u did there
I've got Gregshells now.
@@lo-fiFromChicago Wtf, Opie was doing zero work behind the scenes..it was the producers of the show and the interns.

Exactly what i was just thinking anthony and jimmy are mad funny but they are kind of weasels when it comes to being straight with people...lol dont think anthony has watched the the worm has turned documentary of jim
Kym Kardashian married Kanye omg
What the actual fuck are you talking about? Jimmy stuck up for CK the whole time.
Did Louie ever make a statement on that?
@@7Be He didn't you need to watch the documentary, the worm has turned, Jimmy's kind of a prick.

I just stated listening to the radio show because of Patrice’s perspective of women… first I became a fan of Patrice then I became a fan of Anthony mind you his voice is what caught my attention I still haven’t searched the web for Opie (RIP Patrice 🙏🏼)
Glad Joe never responded to that emotional Hack.
He tried to pull that you never invited me shit to Patrice, who then invited him straight away to his next event, and Opie immediately weaselled his way out of it
I love Jim Norton. But for the life of me, I do not understand the character Chip Chiperson and why people find him funny..
Ryan Anthony when you realize it’s a parody of Opie it becomes funny.
Shane Conaway Ooohhhhhhhhh, is that what it’s supposed to be?? I never got that.
Stick with it
No it's not. It was lifted from Jerky Boys. ua-cam.com/video/ydty55tFCWs/v-deo.html
Jimmy was funny on O&A, but everything else is shit. Remember him as a regular on The Tonight Show? Yuck.
If Ope could have listened to Patreeky, he could have learned to love his job without feeling like he was edged out of the show. It's just too bad.
Chip Chipperson is so embarassing for Jim to be doing. All his comedy friends passed him up so bad lol. Burr and Kev Hart for example
He's a prop comic now.
Its not embarrassing ri gim, he has fun with it. And veryyyy few get to be as big as Burr and Hart brah
Patrice was so different but so funny, man that guy had people so uncomfortable but they were all laughing.
This is funny hearing him talk about not calling people out for being late as there's an entire hour long video clip of all of them fucking with erock for being late
It’s also funny too when he mentions the guy that made the parody song about lacy Peterson. Saying the guy was trying to go viral, sounds kinda dickish to say being ant was making parody videos trying to make it back then too. Jealous much?
they called out erock because it was funny content. opie called out ant because he didnt like him
