Opie & Anthony: Howard Break Backlash, Shelby's O&A Remark (10/10/13)

[@1deag]

Listening back to these shows really reinforces just how awful Opie was. I can't believe he has genuine fans.

[@TreborPaulson]

It’s no wonder everyone at the channel hated him

[@cabooseabs6864]

Paul mccartney is great and all, but i wouldnt want him on the show. Id much rather have vos on the show. I listen because the show is funny. I couldnt care less about an awkward A list interview.

[@paul_bellini]

+Rob Tanner Most of the interviews were boring, especially when they were A-listers.

[@MrSockMonkey80]

I think Opie's going through menopause. I can hear it in his voice.

[@skinsman82000]

The more money you give a radio show...the worse it gets...

[@mayonaises2002]

When Anthony was talking about this yesterday it was kinda funny because it was mostly a bit, overboard ballbusting. Opie's just being a jerk here, doubt he even heard the clip. Hope Shelby doesn't get kicked out because unlike O&A, R&F is still a great show and Shelby's a good addition.

[@gailmargolis8811]

This Opie line got me: "does he understand that we built the O&A channel and we're not gonna accept, like, little worms like trashing us"? Walking on greggshells....

[@colinmanson6374]

gail margolis When he was on about he doesn’t have that right I nearly puked in my soup. So cringe.

[@BarrackObamarama]

These guys are doing exactly what they accused Howard of doing xD

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Not at all. Another one who doesn’t understand the show. You all existed from on air days, now on the internet.

[@Sean-kv1uj]

@@Patrick_B687-3Shut up.

[@rvdsm]

Dont you dare say my show is not a Paul McCartney level show, I'll bury you! - no more than 5 minutes later - Apparently someone at this company with thin skin and a love of kittens has a problem with me mocking them and has buried my bit. Opie is and always has been jealous of Howie and takes his frustration out the only way he knows how; by immitating him at every turn.

[@jacobgriffin6848]

Undermining a show that you've worked on for years and (dare I say it) got you to celebrity level is different from mocking someone's actions. I've yet to hear of Opie becoming pussy whipped. Boring? Well, that depends on your preference. But Stern became a pussy whipped, crybaby, old pelican. Opie may not have a very thick skin, but at least he doesn't blindly applaud everything that the liberal mainstream throws out.

[@Daathaan]

+rvdsm I don't think Opie has the mental capacity for jealousy. And without Jimmy or Ant, he would still be a nobody in Rochester.

[@HansDester]

@@Daathaan Rochester is a fucking bore and so is Brother Wease. I was good friends with his son and slept over at his house many times. The guy is a walking liberal propaganda pushing machine. I never voiced my opinions to the fuck but my silence when he would start talking about it must have angered him. I was a poor kid from up the road, the rest of the guys were from upper middle class families and ate up every word he said. I was a huge fan of O&A since 2000 and whenever I would ask a question about them or just Opie, when I thought we were cool (especially talking about broadcasting as I wanted to go radio) he would give me nothing. I even met Opie in 2005 during graduation and Opie was the coolest back then when I was 18. I wouldn't want to meet him now at 34. TLDR FUCK ROCHESTER

[@radiusone216]

@@HansDester I just listened to the Wease appearance on OnA and his arguments are child-like. He was saying that people on the left aren't influenced by the media and just decide to protest independently and because they are well-informed whereas the people on the right are slaves to Fox News who are morons. I lean much more to the left so it's not even taking a "side" politically, it's just not being a hypocrite or delusional enough to think someone is or isn't more intelligent because of their politics.

[@frodofraggins]

saying the show isn't worthy of McCartney is probably right. they aren't known as good interviewers.

[@TowGunner]

frodofraggins Anthony is a great interviewer but Gregshells would have asked some inane question(s)

[@psychicandice]

ACS Shap no you’re right. As much as I love the guys they aren’t great interviewers but what they do have is humor and charisma and when they do interview it’s not some hacky “only talk about x, cause I’m promoting it” it’s usually a chill kind of hangout talk. It’s refreshing

[@reallyannoyingguyrighthere]

McCartney is a big get but he isnt going to be funny or reveal any of the wild shit he done when he was young. It wasnt a good fit.

[@bb-gc2tx]

@@reallyannoyingguyrighthere opie not talented enough to intervew billy squier lol

[@ChipsASensation]

Their butthurt over Shelby's comments is really unbecoming. They take an entire month to attack other shows, and they're having a hissy fit over what Shelby said? Come on.

[@timmian85]

This was so fucking hypocritical... Them screaming about Howard gagging them, now they're saying nobody can say a bad word about them on their channel? How is it different?

[@emmetmurphy635]

It is a bit hypocritical, but it's important to note that Howard issues gag orders when he's bashed, while O and A just whine while not going to the bosses.

[@XmXFLUXmX2]

This is why I don't listen to O&A's new stuff. Without comedians, they are just unfun and not funny.

[@iamnlck]

No one understands the irony of them demanding that a kid who has no radio influence whatsoever be silenced who made a joking mention of them? Yet Howard is a bitch for not allowing O&A to play clips from his show every day to try and make a name for themselves? I doubt he even got word of this.

[@DougieDoodle]

Funny how when ppl smash Opie now He doesn’t get so tuff like this...🤔🤔

[@SquidkidMega]

won't someone please think of little Beavis!!

[@stickferris1843]

I love these guys, but they're definitely not McCartney worthy. Jimmy trying to argue that by saying they've interviewed Taratino was incredibly pathetic. Taratino is a sickening slug compared to Paul. Out of all the people they've interviewed, the fact Jimmy went to him is incredibly embarrassing. It's worse than saying "why can't we have Obama in here? We've interviewed Ozzy!" Ugh

[@GERBOY90]

McCartney would be a shit interview anyways, id rather have Bill Burr

[@gunkmasterflex942]

I get what youre saying. But last comparison is inaccurate. Ozzy is huge huge huge. Dude ozzy is music royalty!.

[@TheGr8one1022]

Stick Ferris Tarantino is among the most famous writers and directors in Hollywood's history, what the fuck are you talking about? He single handedly created a cinematic style that was horribly copied by movies all through the 90s and up until modern time, and is easily the most famous director to have debuted in the last 35 years, with EASE. Paul McCartney was in the band that ushered in an era of pop music, which eventually went on to completely destroy music, yet people still feel this urge to say the Beatles were great because every douchebag says that to sound cool. Yeah, Paul McCartney is a huge star, but Ozzy is just as a big a star as him in every way, except while McCartney made children's music and helped create the shittiest genre of music to ever exist next to modern rap, Ozzy and Tony Iommi effectively invented heavy metal.

[@HansDester]

Actually Anthony was agreeing with him, slobbo

[@mayonaises2002]

I think it was mostly a bit. But Opie doesn't get it. "Say it to my face"? Give me a break.

[@MasterEm243]

Opie and Anthony were never a McCartney level show. That's not even an opinion, it's fact. Plus why would McCartney ever be on their show after they made a bit out of his wife's miscarriage?

[@gaodene]

ronnie b manipulating this whole situation from the beginning.

[@larrycera9276]

Has any new information from behind the scenes come out about this hacks shock jockery gag? This is one of the times that the haters have no choice but to admit that tits was always out in the forefront of shocking radio. He is the king of the “woopsy!” bit. I remember the traffic grid lock he caused with this one, as all of Manhattan decided to quickly pull over and call E Rocks phone, so they could share in this epic hilarity. The guy could conjure chemistry like Heisenburg

[@hoagieboy1088]

I am sorry op you are not a mcartney show, you are too good for the worst beatle, yes worse than ringo cause atleast ringo does not take himself serious.

[@chrissantos5580]

really bitter people do they ever do a show without bringing up howard

[@Kenshin11212]

O&A are the absolute best but they're definitely not a McCartney level show. We can all agree that they're far better than Howard, but it's also clear that Howard is a bigger star than them both. They even constantly complain about how he's so big that Sirius practically sucks his dick despite him barely even doing his show anymore. Howard is a much bigger name, which is why he gets all the special treatment and why he always gets the big celebrities on his show. Everyone knows who Howard is while only radio listeners know who O&A are. It's unfortunate, but it's true. Doesn't mean that I or that other dude are bashing the boys, saying they suck. It's quite the opposite. No idea why they had a hissy fit over this guy pretty much saying exactly what they say on their show everyday.

[@amandaabbot9121]

thing is, howard gets big star cuz of big money, not because they are what his listeners want to hear. no new weirdos discovered, he wants to in with the pc crowd. he could get the next beetlejuice on the show, but he doesn't, cuz he wants to be in the in crowd.

[@turbocsx]

Shelby is the reason R&F are off the channel now.

[@TheSlimshadyfan4ever]

holy shit no fucking around

[@cruelworld01]

and they also whine about Howard instituting a gag order over any show associated with any network Howard is on because of the same principal; you don't attack your cash cow.

[@WalkingHazzard]

They joke and attack other shows in Jocktober to point out how ridiculous and lazy terrestrial radio has become. Shelby's comments on THE OPIE AND ANTHONY CHANNEL were not clever, funny, or entertaining; his comments were dismissive and almost condescending. Don't shit where you eat, anyone who isn't a waterhead knows that.

[@taaviauri3729]

becuse they work part of same company...Its like your team mate says you suck ...and says other team is better...go to fcking other team ...Ron took this guy in ...he should show some respect ...

[@realBiGO]

Nobody has a fake Twitter account? Opie has 5!

[@bb-gc2tx]

[@Bob_Piss]

What a baby. I will at least give opie credit when it's properly due, but this is such a non-issue. To be that upset about poor ol Shelby stating a fact is just pathetic.

[@bb-gc2tx]

[@skinsman82000]

O&A is turning into Howard. They're doing the EXACT same things they pissed and moaned about for years from him. They are complete hypocrites. Just like when Jimmy bullied and put down the caller recently. They're show is going way downhill...

[@jimmyglea]

Opie doing his best Fez…

[@jbvap]

I love the boys but they were awful sensitive at times. The idea of Paul McCartney going on o&a is laughable.

[@SluffAdlin]

I am starting to wonder if Sirius wanted Anthony fired long before this most recent twitter incident.

Opie complaining about some1 on "there channel they built" trashing them, yet had a fit when stern complained ppl on his station was trashing him..As far as "building a channel" That's such bullshit..Ant even said if any show on there channel got a buzz or fans called n2 there show & praised another show on the channel, Paranoid opie wud freak& try to cancel the show. Opies the reason Ron & Fez got moved 2 a different channel

[@kevinkim5341]

they kept saying they could handle a Mccartney interview,everytime they get a star they fuck it up.Remember the Kevin Bacon interview ?Even Stern is backing off that shit.

[@jmantna8989]

True if the intern pulled a Rick Delgado type of thing then they have every right to tear the little shit apart. All the guy did was snicker at the thought of Mccartney showing up on their show. I would too. Hes a Howard guest just like Dana White of UFC is an OnA guest who only goes on his show.

[@nickypeeps]

i'd only agree because i like shelby so much. they're letting some 20 year old kid act as a permanent co-host the only other show they put on their channel, and he absolutely mocked them for how limited he considers the show, regardless of whether it's true or not. i believe he loves O&A and is just a weirdo, but it was a really dumb thing to say

[@BishopAP]

In what context would it make sense for Shelby to say what he said on air to Opie's face? "Hey, Opie, nice to see you. You know, you're not a Paul McCartney level of show. See ya!" He still shouldn't be so dismissive of the show on their own channel, especially at his level, but just because he doesn't think a Beatle would be interested in them doesn't mean he thinks they suck.
