Opie & Anthony: The Show Hates 'Grateful Dead' and 'Phish' (08/21/13)

[@williamrusso3130]

10:46 I love every time Ant & Jim have an exchange like that.

[@fredlburrows]

Here's Dave in Connecticut. Anthony: Of course....

[@e2go]

This is the kind of stuff that made this show genius. Love when Opie did stuff to make Anthony go off. It was great for the show and so entertaining. Ant's rant on Lou Reed is another good one.

[@pissfarts9532]

They had some terrible music takes over the years, but some were dead on. Lou Reed was atrocious, and so is jam music.

I love how opie absolutely cannot conceal that he is a closet deadhead. The two most hated beloved popular artists of the modern era, opie and the dead

[@Zwia.]

He's not though, like all sociopaths they have no real interests in anything but themselves. They merely pretend to have interests in things they think other people will respect them for or things that fit the image of the character they are playing. If you notice anytime anyone questions him on his professed interests like sports and music he can't offer anything but a superficial opinion. He never gets deep on anything. Jimmy asks him what years were the dead at their biggest, Opie can't answer basic info like this. I'd be surprised if he's been to more than 1 dead gig. The dude was like 35 when he changed his entire look and personality to be like Kurt Cobain, normal people stop reinventing themselves before the age of 20. 😂

[@malikjohnston3883]

They should have gotten Lady Di on the phone for this discussion. She gets deep with the Dead. She likes the obscure songs like "Touch of Grey".

[@Pun2404]

They’re both badass in their own unique way, if you see the music live and go with a few friends or family or a partner or maybe share in the spirit and smoke a joint and have a beer or two, maybe a psychedelic or maybe not, I know many sober people that love them (both bands), they have a sonic aesthetic, themes, styles, points of influence and each musicians individual thumb print and stories of origin that make each band what they are. And their own impact they had on their fans, both fan groups are very fervent and obsessive though I would argue that Deadheads are far and away more obsessive in their their passion for the band than fans of Pink Floyd, Id argue the average Floyd fan mostly just knows the popular songs or albums or may be less familiar with the actually history of the band but maybe that’s not true I’m sure most actually do know their fair share of the necessities, but then again I’m aware that’s not the only variable that creates a ‘fan’ or even an obsessive fan for that matter. Though of course neither fandom is ever exclusive to the other. These guys just intentionally have combatting and often close minded shrouded as comedic-premise-seeking approaches to truly destiny to comprehend the contexts and the reasons that can make certain bands be considered great by a great many people. /EndRant

@Matthew Barry jimmy messed that one up because they were going through 80s super bowl wins where montana had 3 (the last being 1990) and when he was going through super bowl winning qbs he mentioned montana as having 3.

I love O&A and Phish. You know why? Opie and Anthony and Phish are basically the same thing. Both are shows that run for a few hours on the premise of theme and variation. This 25 minute jam they're laughing at is like 25 minutes of their show, and the irony is they play it in real time in the background, and still don't see the correlation. That "Spinal Tap Jazz Odyssey" they pick on at the end is the point where Jimmy has taken a conversation about bendy straws to Hitler milk enemas. How did he get there?
