O &A Recap
|
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Howdy folks, this is the show log (shlog to the cognoscenti)... The Rundown will be here later in the day.
6:00 and we're already pissed off at CBS-FM... they are flooding us with their 3000 song catalogue... from A to Z - starting with ABC from the Jackson 5 to Zobra The Greek from Herb Alpert .
The sister station is driving us NUTS with their hacky things... top 500 countdowns etc.
The listeners back us up on this one...
Joe in Boston wants to know about Ant's pool... and we have an update - the pool is being filled as we speak. And by the end of July a soiree is expected.
Ant invites everyone he knows and loves... and it's NOT AN ENGAGEMENT PARTY!
Keith the Cop calls in - to talk about the menu... and it's a massive failure. Keith is now claiming that he's part of the organization since 1999.
Coming up... The Story of Joe Horn... something Ant will love
6:36...
Opie gives the BBC props for it's "Top Model" type show for disabled people...
One is blind, one deaf, and as you can see... the others have a variety of deformities...
Let's face it, it's a freak show... one caller predicts that Heather Mills will be on the show.
Another listener calls to talk about his sex with a deaf woman and the odd noises...
Matt calls to talk about his experience with a deaf woman... he couldn't finish...
A Canadian man calls to make us all cringe and celebrate Canada Day...
7:03
Before we get to the Joe Horn story... Opie has a news item from Falmouth where a 14 yr old kid pushed a 71yr old guy into the ocean... and when he gets arrested, he calls a friend to brag about it.
And on to Joe Horn and his protecting his neighbors property...
The story of a Texas man who shot two men that were breaking into his neighbor's house...
7:37
Back with a little Spacehog to start the break... from back in the day and the only station that really rocked.
Back to Joe Horn and the story of a neighbor who took action when he saw a neighbor's house being broken into.
Joe Horn...
The call was over 8 minutes long and no cops have arrived... he gets very frustrated.
A Grand Jury decided not to charge Joe Horn with anything...
8:07
Moving on... A-Rod made it to 14th place on the Home Run list...
Tiger says he's had a sore knee for 10-12 years...
"Hancock" is not getting good reviews at all...
Bon Jovi is playing a free show in Central Park on July 12th
Pam Anderson is 41 today and Blondie - Deborah Harry is 63...
yikes
Back to Joe Horn... Jimmy brings up some added details about the case. That a Pasadena cop HAD in fact pulled up to the scene and was about to do something... but Joe Horn acted before anything could be done.
Opie decides that he wants to make the neighbors at CBS feel a little uncomfortable... and sends E-Rock into the studio to ask what song they are playing... Barry Manilow's Could It Be Magic.
Eric hollers WHO THE HELL CARES and slams the door...
And then back to the Carol Miller tapes and WNEW's Evolution of Rock special...
We were in 30th place and bet Carol that talk was much better than music...
WAIT - CBS-FM just fired a salvo in the early stages of the radio war...
8:40
CBS - FM and O&A are now in a battle... We put the word POOPY on their sign.
Instant feedback is wondering about the comments Opie made a few days ago - talking about being sued by a former WNEW dj.
Jimmy wonders what would happen if Erock tossed a molotov cocktail in the room with CBS-FM...
Opie wants Pat Duffy to drop his drawers and leave something on their console...
And we end the morning with the Carole Miller fight... from the 90s...
She was not happy with the boys
It got to the point that everyone stopped talking to each other... She had to wait in the mail room until the boys left the studio.
Monday, June 30, 2008
Welcome to the Show Log, or the SHLOG as it's known in the biz. The O&A Rundown is a carefully crafted, sanded and varnished item that will be here when Steven S gets good and ready to send it.
6:00
Short week...
Ant says we're going "balls out" for two days...
Jimmy had a little problem sleeping. Do we have insomniac Jimmy with us today?
BIg stories from the weekend... The dope in Georgia who was decapitated by the Batman ride at Six Flags...
And the Coney Island rides are also rumoured to be so unsafe - they must be shut down.
Remember those bathing suits that men forced women to wear???
What rights did women have to fight for?
The Vote, equal pay for equal work, the right to drive... go to school...
We're still on red alert, but hopefully things are cooling out...
On Friday Opie tried to climb a scaffold, but his girl talked him out of it...
The Six Flags people are hosing down the Batman ride and the park will be open today. After they hose it down.
6:35
We also had a model drop from her apartment this weekend...
We get into some Quincy replays...
Nothing better than the classic series for some laughs...
And then there's Scott Shannon in the paper today...
why why why?
7:00
We're obsessed with Quincy...
So are many of you... and some other shows of the same era... Quincy, Streets of San Francisco
And there's another head in the news as a bunch of drunk kids were crawling around the sewers and decided to pop up in the wrong place... and was crushed by a car.
And then we're back to "Mondo Topless" from Russ Meyer...
We need to speak with the narrator of this classic, John Furlong.
And we're on to the Dimitri / Olga tapes...
This guy gave us all the douche-chills.
This is the poster advertising his seminars...
We're trying to find Dimitri...
7:40
Sam went to the Gay Pride Parade and brought a digital recorder with him...
The unique observations from Sam about the small leather outfits...
Opie wonders about the odd sunburns - hiney's that are sunburned...
Sammy & Cream Pie Jones went to the parade.
Sam's line of questioning... "Why are you gay?" (WHAT?) The first guy responded, "It's not a choice."
We wonder about the "gay voice" why does that happen???
Jimmy speculates that it might be fun to talk like this...
One of Sam's interviewees says he gets tested every 3 months... WHAAAAAAAT?
Sam did not tell his girlfriend where they were going... did not invite her...
8:05
We're back and still talking about the weekend stuff... big box office for the movie Wall-E...
And if you want to see the new Batman movie The Dark Knight in the IMAX - it's sold out.
And then a news report about the Gay Pride Parade... takes us back to that fabulous report from Sam.
8:38
Welcome back to Monday...
A busy weekend... from Gay pride and into the sports update... a record that was not a record as a Gay man broke the 100 meter time but his record won't stand as the wind helped.
And a no hitter was not a no hitter because they did not record 27 outs... The Dodgers won 1-0 over the A's but never had a hit... stuntbrain had the explanation but it was a very muddy
and why are our swimmers wearing these body suits???
We close with a story about names getting changed in yearbooks... and more from Mondo Topless...
Saturday, June 28, 2008
Some weekend offerings from Opie's Eye.
This is an Opie's Eye Spy snapshot sent in by Stuntbrain. (He loves the golf.)
The course was playing a little slower than normal.
Friday, June 27, 2008
The Show Log for Friday is right here kids... If you want the RUNDOWN - simmer down, it's not fully baked until Steve S. from Bay Shore says it's baked.
Louis C.K. is with us this morning...
6:00
A big Friday show with loads of O&A news... The tickets to the Traveling Virus Tour go on sale at 9am... the first 1000 seats are just 10 dollars.
Good Morning Boston and thanks for the ratings!
We're still in Red Alert here on the O&A Show.
Ant was on the town last night... at a Fox Business Channel party... a listener from TN spotted ANT and Jill on TV. By the way, Ant is wearing the same clothes that he wore yesterday.
Opie wonders if we should check out the host of the show... Rebecca Gomez.
There were a few other celebs, sort of... Victor Willis from the Villiage People
Opie's Eye in the break...
Jim Norton getting some knowledge during the commercial break.
6:35
Back from the break, still in Red Alert mode...
Opie wonders about the waterfall that went up this week.... WHY?
Like the gates from a few years ago...
The Shea Stadium - Yankee Stadium comparison is launched...as both stadiums are coming down at the end of the season.
We have a subway series in the works for the weekend.
Ant's Shea Stadium memory is about crying as a child because he suffered from a bashful bladder...
Danny had his first acid trip at Shae... and also held Opie's hand at Shea...
The Jill Nicolini - Linda Church
7:00
Virus tickets on sale this morning - $10.00 lawn seats... Ticketmaster at 10am - we would LOVE to bring the show to Boston, but there seems to be a problem in Boston with the mayor. Can't we all get along?
Back with Louis CK in the studio... he's appearing at Comix today at 1pm for UnMasked... Ron Bennington from Ron & Fez will be hosting that show... and then the fabulous State Theater tonight in New Brunswick, NJ (tickets - 732-246-7469)
He's not divorced yet... but he's working on it.
Louis is working on finalizing his split, but has taken the mediator approach instead of using lawyers... and that sounds like a much more humane solution to a difficult problem.
Ant's divorce memories start bubbling over, again... Louis' mediator would have been a welcome helper for Ant.
More from Opie's Eye...
We've been trying to figure out why Erock
has a cutout of John Cena in his work area.
and
Louis CK getting ready for the funny.
The story of a mom who's child had explosive diarrhea at the Chocolate Mountain Factory is discussed...
7:36
Opie comes back with more talk of wanting to bury the hatchet with Mayor Menino in Boston.
Can't we get a chance to apologize publicly...
Someone needs to help us get to the mayor..
Louis CK gets us back to his almost-divorced status and how he is handling the negotiations.
E-Rock found the O&A apology to Mayor Menino... and his family.
We're sorry... can you let us see you face to face Mr. Mayor?
More Opie's Eye...
Our incentive to do good radio! Rub downs from the massage broad.
Now go cook our morning omelette's!
8:05
Back from the break and we're talking about movies opening this weekend...
"Wall-E" is breaking out - a Pixar-Disney thing that gets 98% positive responses on rotten tomatoes...
"Wanted" with Angelia Jolie & Morgan Freeman...
A Boston listener suggests that we ask for forgiveness...
And now we're off to slam the Eddie Murphy movie coming out on July 11th...
Oh dear God... make it stop.
Jimmy wonders when it all went wrong... what happened???
On to GTA and the kids who went wild on Long Island...
Louis CK says he played GTA4 and just walked around all day...
And we close the break with Big A getting his prostate exam.
Oof...
8:35
Back from a break - and we're sending some thoughts to Opie's brother... still recovering from his surgery.
The Second Amendment was upheld by the Supreme Court this week, virtually wiping out the DC gun ban.
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Welcome to the Show Log or "Shlog" as the boys in the back room call it. If you are looking for the RUNDOWN crafted by Steven S from Bayshore, that will appear right here later in the day. (It sleeps in.)
6:00
The return of the Norton.
Jimmy's back from La-la-land.
Opie has a message to the faithful listeners. This show is in RED ALERT mode.
The Opie & Anthony Show may need you. Please be ready to quit your jobs in case you must be called to action.
Jimmy was on the new Gong Show with
Ron White
and JV Smoov...
The listeners are calling to question us on RED ALERT.
And they also clarified the day of the anniversary of O&A on the radio in NYC - IT WAS YESTERDAY.
More speculation on what the Red Alert means.
Opie pulls out a cd from the very first day in NYC...
And we learn that the studio (we shot these yesterday) apparently had helium pumped into the air.
10 years and 1 day ago... Opie sat here.
And Anthony sat here...
This was the music library we destroyed...
Opie continues with the horrifying 10yr old flashback...
6:35
We are officially in Red Alert Mode this morning...
Last night on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360... Rev Sharpton took a little shot at Anderson Cooper... but it was cloaked enough to skate through the system.
We're playing more of the first day in NYC...
And are horrified by it all...
Ant wonders why why why... Opie admits to lying about everything he was saying on air.
Shawn from NC calls in to insult us... as does Mike from NJ...
7:09
Back with a little Avenge Sevenfold... as we rejoin...
We're celebrating the 10yr anniversary of the O&A Show on WNEW, but don't know if anyone enjoys this.
It sounded like everyone loved the boys, but now we know... they were HATED by everyone on the jock staff.
The Scott Muni - Keith Moon story is told...
That's Keith holding the mic... Rock Radio legend - Scott Muni on the right.
7:45
We're going to listen to one more break of the first show and then move on to what's happening today in the world.
It was 10 years ago yesterday...
We got caught with the lead singer of Spin Doctors... Chris Barron with O&A back in the day.
Nick from CT says Ant is laughing just out of nerves...
And then there's the fudgy wudgy bar
Is it really good to be back?
And then we talked about weather... and a hacky contest.
Opie tried to launch a word... WOBBLY POP for beer... I did not happen.
The hot weather discussion continued ad naseum... and remember this was before the big meeting when O&A decided to NOT LISTEN to the bosses.
And the "movies opening up this weekend" was filled with LIES!
Before we go to break...
8:18
"What's up NY... Go F yourself." That's Opie's statement this hour.
We're in RED ALERT mode this morning. No more information is available.
The Travelling Virus is coming to the PNC Bank Arts Center in NJ on August 2nd. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY SHOW OF THE SUMMER. Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neal, Bob Kelly, Rich Vos, Otto & George... Tomorrow morning tickets go on sale at Ticketmaster - the first 1000 lawn seats are $10.00 each. Myspace.com/virustour has more details.
To Catch A Predator has been taken off the air. Chris Hanson's show has been pulled off the air after a lawsuit was filed.
Hopefully another network will pick up the show... The executives are the ones Opie blames.
If you choose to show up at a home in the hope of having sex with a 13yr old... you cannot be entrapped.
Jimmy goes toe-to-toe with a listener who says Jimmy's wrong...
8:40
Jimmy brings us back with the news about the Travelling Virus tour - tickets are on sale tomorrow morning - at Ticketmaster.
Greta Van Sustern had Motley Crue on her show last week - same night as Larry King's interview - and Tommy Lee asked Greta what color panties she was wearing.
Mark calls to clarify the Libertarian policy... and we're a little cloudier on a few subjects.
Adam in Boston calls to say Ant is more Libertarian... low taxes, small govt and we're supposed to do as much for ourselves as possible. YES! Says Ant.
Tomorrow - we give you the details on when O&A became the O&A you know and love.

It's Whip 'Em Out Wednesday!
6:00
Here We Are Again!
Patrice O'Neal is in for Li'l Jimmy Norton who is out in L.A. doing Dave Attell's new Gong Show.
"No buffet today? Damn!"
Opie wishes he had some time after each show to bask in the glory of the fine entertainment they provided the listeners that day, before having to start planning out what they were going to do for the next day's radio gold.
Letterman? PFEH!
Leno? Don't even!
Those are one hour shows. HACKS! That's nothing. O&A do 5 hours + every day. Who the hell decided that this type of radio show has to be at least 4 hours long?
Casey Kasem is another one. He plays a few crappy records and reads a letter about a dead dog. Now give him his millions.
Casey Kasem wearing what appears to be an asshat
Don Imus has to come up with about 4 hours of content, much the same way O&A have to. A year or so ago he made his famous "nappy" comment and got fired. It was about ONE SECOND of audio out of 4 hours in which he was trying to entertain his audience and yet he was fired.
Effing crazy and pathetic. What a bunch of hypersensitive bitches we've become in this country.
---------------
Patrice says that having an audience and being seen is something O&A don't have to deal with the same way Leno or Letterman have to; however, on Fridays the guys invite listeners into the studio over at "the other place" to watch the show live. Patrice hates that and also hates the fact that fans/detractors can so easily get in contact with him to spew off their sometimes insulting opinions that sometimes make him feel bad.
Even back in the old days Clark Gable got fan mail, and I'm sure not all of it was good.
"Dear Mr Gable, I am writing to tell you that you are a festering pile of dog crap..."
10 Friggin' Years!
This Friday marks the 10th anniversary of Opie and Anthony bringing their radio show to the airwaves in NYC over at WNEW. They started out playing music, then at some point decided they were just going to talk. A lot of that was due to the fact that they couldn't stand the music 'NEW played: it was crappy and nobody cared about it. Management didn't really care since the ratings for the show weren't that good. Once they started talking and not playing music the ratings started going up.
At one point the guys decided that Bruce Springsteen's CDs were the enemy and the entire catalog was repeatedly either given away on the street or smashed to bits. This was pretty smart: since they no longer had that music to play, they would have to fill the time the song would've been heard with talk and their li'l bits. NICE!
The WNEW days
More hair / Less Jill
Patrice wonders if there were any bits that could've gotten the boys fired before Sex For Sam III. Opie says that none of them should've gotten them fired at the time, but he realizes that a lot of those bits they once were able to do on the air would get them fired today.
"T&A with O&A" (up in Buffalo) is a prime example... and that wasn't even on the air! What about "The Voyeur Bus"? You know, some of the classics. Today the rules have changed and the guys know that trying to pull off any of these old gags would probably result in a firing. At least they're TRYING to be smart now.
I said "trying".
By the way... Opie wants a HUGE CELEBRATION on Friday to mark the 10th anniversary of their debut on the airwaves of NYC. It better not be a stupid cake and "B" List celebrities.
"A" List ONLY!!!
Ya hear?
I hear ya!
This just won't do.
6:40
Welcome to The FUTURE!
Over in amazingly wealthy Dubai they are constructing a new building that features rotating floors which spin independantly of each other so the residents can have a changing view. There is so much construction going on in that city that 25% of the world's cranes are located in that city. DAYUM!
They also have a habit of making islands out of reclaimed land...
How much friggin' money do they have over there?
I guess that oil must be worth a few bucks.
Perhaps more than that, gentlemen!
Check out this little clip about Dubai construction
Hey! I see some of those cranes! Zany!
NEWS!
Well, Sorta...
• Coldplay has sold 720,000 copies of their cd in the first week of release, yet the music industry is complaining about slow sales. Shut it.
• A mayo commercial in the UK has been pulled from the airwaves because some people complained that its depiction of affectionate gays was upsetting them. Anthony can't figure out why people would even give a rat's ass over that sort of thing. Opie is proud that Ant has a surprisingly new attitude, since he figured he'd go the exact opposite way. It seems that since Ant has Jill Nicolini to occupy his mind and groin he could not care any less about what sort of shenanigans the gays are getting up to.
Here's the ad:
Well then
---------------
Moving on, Patrice complains (big surprise there) that Anthony has never called or emailed him. Ant says that he's friendly with Patrice, but perhaps it's the cultural differences that keep them from becoming close. There are just some things Ant cannot relate to.
No S***.
7:10
Shaq WAS an honorary deputy but got his badge taken away because he used "the N-word" in a freestyle rap destroying Kobe Bryant. Shaq claims he was only joking, but Patrice says that's a lie and the rap was a personal and funny attack. In the freestyle Shaq asks Kobe how his BEEP tastes.
Here's the video. Oh dear.
(ed. note: Shaq is not only a pottymouth, but he's also really, really bad at hip hop. You've been warned.)
---------------
Oh goody! Patrice's watermelon has arrived!!
What a tasty treat!
It even matches his shirt. Interesting.
---------------
The guys figure out that Shaq was with Kobe's girl first, and that's why he's asking him how things taste.
Rude and rude!
7:40
On "The Today Show" Opie saw some young idiot who had his arm chewed off by an alligator after diving into the wrong body of water. The guy is up there acting like he did some sort of heroic thing. If he was such a hero he would've wrestled and killed the alligator with his remaining arm instead of having authorities kill the creature for just doing what it's supposed to do: eat whatever the hell it can sink it's awful teeth into.
Fun Fact: The only thing with more deadly bacteria oozing out of it than the teeth of an alligator is the clump of Sandy Kane.
