Opie & Anthony - The Infamous Homeless Charlie

The crew meet a homeless guy named Charlie. They bring him in and he is a treat. Speaks his mind and says alot of things that almost get the guys fired. Which is pathetic that the company did not stand by their talent. Making them apologize at 37:04 for comments that he said on their show or they'd get fired. (5-9-07, 5-11-07)

Did Opie seriously ask a homeless person if he had satellite radio?

[@Signals_Jerry]

IEatStrayCats ikr lol. What a opie

[@groovygamers1]

Satellite sold small units that played radio and were relatively cheap. Opie usually gave these away as well so that's probably why he asked him that.

Just listened to the Darian O’Toole saga. They were talking about if a radio host was drunk, the station shouldn’t fire them, but instead let them go on air and be drunk for fun. Opie mentions they should get homeless people drunk and let the mics roll. That was in 2006 so I guess he was really serious about that idea.

Before he was a Los Angeles wiener

[@p.scotland]

He actually said “this homeless guy really reads his blankets” hence it’s up to the listener to insert that he meant ‘newspapers . You said “sheets” which no one is going to take for meaning ‘newspapers’ . Do you understand comedy at all ? Also , it was delivered calmly and was the funniest line of the full segment . Not sure why a comedian “trying “ to get laughs is a problem for you , you do realise that’s literally their job don’t you ?
