Classic Opie & Anthony: The Jim Jones Tapes (11/18/08)

[@DangerMenace]

58:10 Jimmy transitions into Smooth Jazzy Jim, the best one-off character of all time.

[@omayrasdemesne]

Lol its funny that they mentioned Paul mooney bc I thought he dropped in when jazzy Jim showed up

[@Coconutscott]

"Let's go to a caller" . Let's not.

[@NothingToPointOut24]

He sounds like the Stapler guy from Office Space.

Lol! I love how Ant called the survivor "dummy".

The lady at the end was something else lol.

It was a trip. She was low key really funny though, and seemed super cool in a weird way. Great closer, "and.... your mom's box" 😂

[@wperlich]

Caller at 52:00 is wrong about how cyanide affects the human body. Cyanide kills you because it stops one step in the mitochondrian electron transport chain. The electron transport chain uses oxygen to create ATP, but the "road" the electron travels to oxygen it blocked off by the cyanide. ATP is the energy currency of your body, and without it you cannot process energy, your brain won't work, etc. Everything requires ATP. No electron transport chain = no life. Even bacteria that live in environments where no oxygen is present (anaerobic) use an electron transport chain, with another molecule besides oxygen.

[@wperlich]

Just another example of a caller who has no fucking clue what he/she is talking about.

You’re too smart to be listening to this show sir

[@taffysaur]

I've listened to the entire tape before, it's dead chilling. It takes a while, but he actually slowly wears down their wills enough that they do what he' telling them to. They get really hung up on killing the children, that's the worst. Again, just listening to their resolve slowly weaken until they really believe they're doing the kids a kindness.

[@braidenbianco]

They really don’t believe, they all hit that mental switch to just lay over and not believe, but don’t know what to believe

Funny to hear that even before it became a bit people really were calling up and saying "yeah that last guy was full of shot!"

[@thekavestation]

jimmy calling someone self righteous is enraging

[@chaosdecides]

Exactly, I can't recall Jimmy ever admitting he was wrong on anything.

[@TheGr8one1022]

You guys are ridiculous; you're going to call one of the most self-deprecating comics of our time "self-righteous"? That's nonsense, and there have been plenty of times that Jimmy's has admitted to being wrong. The thing is, he's exactly right a lot of the time because he tries not to open his mouth and spout pure opinions when he doesn't know much about the topic; instead, he becomes more involved when it comes to things he's well-versed in.

[@thekavestation]

TheGr8one1022 i dont know what show you're listening to and he's only self deprecating about his sluggish appearance he certainly does have a high and mighty im always right attitude and name one time he admitted he was wrong

Opie has horrible survival advice. No supplies? No food? No idea where you're going? "Gotta hope for the best, man"

24:00 - Anthony and Jimmy explain that they were being intentionally cruel to piss off that first caller who complained. It's amazing how on a website with videos you can click and skip forward or repeat, people still get their information wrong.

[@notsusan]

Ant seemed to be really obviously doing just that (and I did laugh), but Jimmy sounded like he was just having a hissy fit.

They barely scratched the surface with the final tape on the show. The entire recording is under 'The Jonestown Death Tape' on KZbin. His wife was brutal...telling the crowd that the children are just crying because the 'punch' is somewhat bitter, and to proceed to administer it calmly before taking their own.

[@fiendishmaven]

That was Maria Katsaris saying that, not Marceline Jones. Maria was one of Jones’ “brain trust.”

[@rydz656]

She was fighting for the kids lives. Jim is on tape calling her mother and to just drink the poison and lay down with the kids.

[@hughgarrett1361]

[@SuperStrik9]

The callers who say the kids being made fun of are just flat out wrong. What's on the tape is horrible but it's important to never forget the past. I like that O&A tackle serious issues on the show, especially "sensitive" issues.

[@zackriederer4243]

The dead ones are quiet lmao 😂😂😂

[@Harkness78]

I love that a fan of theirs calls in, has a complaint, and they are just like '"I fucking hate this guy!" and yell at him for a good while. They are mostly right, the caller should have stuck to "you guys are making fun of it!" But he only mentions that once and the rest of his complaints are bullshit. Wow and the 4th caller, he is like "I love watching beheadings and shootings on the news, but audio of kids dying is too much!".

[@crapconnoisseur6691]

"THOP THITH NONTHENTH" Oh, Fez. Where won't you show up?

[@madseason5614]

I don't have anything against mocking the Jonestown incident but the way Jim and Ant handled alot of these callers was very irritating, These are the same guys who got punked out by Sarah Jessica Parker. Plus Ant let Piers Morgan run all over him in their brief gun debate. They can't take direct pressure unless it's over something farcical.

[@chaosdecides]

Very true. They seem to have a meltdown immediatley if someone with some backbone argues with them. Ant's tirade about being glad they are all dead was total BS (meaning he himself doesn't believe what he said) and pretty much a knee-jerk reaction to somebody calling them out on acting like sound clips with kids being poisoned and dying in the background is no big deal. And trying to compare it to some 911 sound bytes of buildings falling down and people panicking was a joke. These guys love to throw out their opinions but turn into sensitive little girls when someone argues with them.

[@piggy201]

Oh, you just uncovered a mystery: The Boys are not perfect. They sometimes succeed and sometimes fail. Great job, cheers to you, sir.

[@KC-bg1th]

I'm not saying that they shouldn't have played the clip, but the argument of "It happened, and it's people dying, but just in more detail" isn't exactly the point the guy was trying to make. His point was that it was *too* disturbing, and not that it was real, or whatever. They're basically saying that there isn't anything wrong with tabloids uploading mass-beheading videos from ISIS, just because it happened, and is real. It's just that the kids dying is 'crossing the line' for the caller.

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

Nowadays they'll laugh. Time plus tragedy equals comedy.

[@jas22]

i agree with Jimmy - it's morbid and fascinating. But Anthony might not have understood the situation. The adults at Jonestown were mostly african-americans who were impoverished. They had little education and few life options. They were brainwashed and / or seduced by the allure of community, salvation, and a life of peace.

[@jas22]

Also, the kids were crying because the cyanide caused stomach pain.

[@jas22]

some people are just dumb, sure. there are other people who can never achieve their potential because of the era they were born into, and their life situation that is beyond their control. these people found something to believe in, in Jones. add to that the mind control .... there were armed guards there, too. they and jones were a tyranny. i remember this story on the news when i was a kid, and i still feel bad for these people. there are times when you hear about something and i just think they brought the problem onto himself, and i do think "ghetto piece of shit". but these people, no. they were just looking for a peaceful way to a better life. they couldn't find it in the US.
