Why is Norton stood on the table wearing a High Court judge's wig?

[@Paddy.C]

@@DaleSandusky Ah yeah my mistake, now that you've pointed it out, I see the guy on the table has a much healthier skin tone too.

[@Paddy.C]

@Sock Cucka What about it?

[@Paddy.C]

@Sock Cucka Yeah? Well "your peckah" couldn't be more smallerer, peesa garbage!

[@michaelpipkin9942]

"He looks like whatever container you would pour him in." Patrice

[@leodaly2310]

@Sock Cucka Actually it is correct. If Jim decides to stand on the table Jim would be standing on the table but if someone places Jim onto the table then Jim would indeed be stood on the table in the same way a lamp is stood on a desk. Look it up.

[@stripperkaraoke3578]

Gilbert wrote "Alone Again (Naturally)" when the child went off to preschool.

[@blindthrall]

No it was about when the mom leaves to go shopping.

[@miked7718]

You are incorrect. You might want to listen to the lyrics of the song, or better yet read them.

[@ikmyuhgtrfgthy]

Imagine being quarantined with Opie? Bet that's a bag of laughs

You can add Dave Landau to anybody. The guy is a genius

[@bartimisfoul3459]

You should see Landau on Louder with Crowder!

[@matthewzizzo4586]

yeah i know , why do people think tom myers isnt funny?

[@ITILII]

Antony with Gavin, Colin, Jimmy and Patrice just true comedic Genius !!! Of course no one can match the one and only (thankfully) Opester, who's been doing ray-dee-oh (badly) since he was 18.....Ed Asner named him The Destroyer for a good reason 🤐

"Clair" was Joe Biden's favorite song... until he forgot it.

Trump’s favorite song as well, reminds him of his daughter that he would get with if only she wasn’t his daughter

[@othertalk3313]

"O'Sullivan purposely avoided dating at the peak of his career; he feared that doing so would inhibit his songwriting abilities." - Oh really, O'Sullivan? Is that really why?

[@thatroonstboi6231]

Sounds like pervert talk to me! haha

[@stronglywordedletter8318]

Why is Jim Norton wearing a white wig? New character?

[@WhoBeSilly]

4:16 Ant's laugh is so infectious, I love that guy!!

[@WhoBeSilly]

@@RG-no1ng his laugh....nothing about the subject per se but yeah, I belly laughed at the same time

[@Ghastly_Grinner]

Is anyone else shocked that Opie isn't a oldies jock yet?

[@kirkcinnamon8467]

Id actually have a shred of respect for him if he was. Instead he's just busy looking like a homeless granny now.

[@okilladmityouarerightbut4827]

That would be more respectable than what he does now honestly

[@okilladmityouarerightbut4827]

A regular dude could do what opie does now lol he gets less than 1,000 views a video unless he talks about Anthony or jimmy hahaha it’s so sad

[@layrebecca]

I MISS THIS! My first introduction to Compound Media was Cumia and Dave. Brilliant duo! The fondest of memories.

[@roryhennessey1983]

I agree. Daves comedic skills are being wasted doing the normal world show

[@commiegobbledygook3138]

Christ what's the point of having Jimmy during the segment if nobody is gonna let him speak.

Pearl Jam’s song “last kiss “ is a cover . It was originally written in 1961 by Wayne Cochran

[@heffe4257]

No shit. They also said that.

[@danielreilly7108]

You guys are some sick funny bastards. Made beer spew from my nose. Hilarious!!!

[@victorsimpson4487]

Let's not forget young teacher the subject of schoolgirl fantasy from "Don't stand so close to me" by The Police.

[@frasefra5297]

“Every Breath You Take” is the quintessential stalker song. Ironic that they were named “The Police”

[@earthsucks9555]

I thought he was just a wrestler this whole time.

[@pulpfiction2122]

Such a shame Dave left this for Crowder. That show is fine, and I listen to it most days, but Steven really pumps the breaks on Dave's potential.

[@FlashyVic]

"That show is fine..." Six months on, not so much.

[@bernardoconnor1502]

This makes me nostalgic for the Inappropriate Song Contest

Dave is the best partner man. Hes funny as hell. I love Artie but dave is comedy gold. Plus isnt on heroin.

[@jcbiek]

He's gold Jerry!! GOLD!

[@brandonobaza8610]

Doo Wop music... As a kid, my Dad took me to a Barber named Zel, who opened his shop in 1934. I remember that place playing AM radio Pop music from a bygone era (WNAK was the station) and being populated with WWII veterans. Makes me feel decades older than my 37 years would suggest.

She was a so mature for 8.

Easy there Muhamed

[@miamidolphinsfan]

8 ? more like 4 LOL

[@slugcult1973]

That song was written to his manager's baby daughter. She called him Uncle Ray, because that's Gilbert's real name. He would baby sit her all the time. HOW IS THIS GUY NOT IN PRISON?!?!

[@michaelmccartney8506]

I'm a new big fan, you two help us get through this plandemic.

[@jogaleone7224]

For sone reason Anthony's unwavering but genuine smile reminds me of David Lee roth

[@Danimal77]

How do they come up with brilliant line after brilliant line?

[@barrypatrick5512]

Clair was written about his manager’s daughter, who he then sued for multi-millions and won,

[@lukedaines1384]

You just made this up lol Clair is his niece, the whole theme of Clair is a metaphor showing the dangers of people she could face, I think the weird thing about the song is that he kept the fact he’s her uncle in it 🥴

[@intercoursehandguns851]

​@@lukedaines1384 You're both wrong. This song was a "tribute" to his producer's/friend's daughter. Gilbert's actual name was "Raymond" ("Gilbert" was his STAGE name) so Clair called him "Uncle Ray" because he was considered a close family friend (she was probably encouraged to call him that by either her dad or Gilbert himself) BUT they weren't ACTUALLY related. Gilbert was even trusted to babysit her. It's horrible. Her father had to have been a creep too because he couldn't have been THAT oblivious. There's no way he could've been THAT naïve without Clair being born with an extra chromosome or two.

[@lukedaines1384]

@@intercoursehandguns851 I didn’t even know that. I was hoping when I read ‘you’re wrong’ there would be a less creepy answer to the question but it’s still bad 🥴

[@brfam1977]

Dave was way funnier on Cumia.

I honestly Googled, "Did Woody Allen ever direct music videos" after watching this.

[@luisrojas3173]

These songs are part of Ant’s Spotify playlist

[@vasectomyfail442]

don't forget "memphis tennessee" by chuck berry / johnny rivers. a song about a guy calling back home to get in touch with the 6 year old daughter of his ex girlfriend, or if you listen to the lyrics, it sounds more like the 6 year old's mom didn't agree with her daughter dating an adult.

[@peanutbuttachelly3544]

Actually, that song is about a guy trying to reunite with his daughter, who’s mother is his ex. “we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree, And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee” I can see how it could get misconstrued, but it’s definitely not pedophilic.

[@beebs_magoo]

Holy shit, that song/music video is disturbing as hell! This was seriously normal back then?

[@garymericano]

Rope time should have started 50 years ago.

[@BNG1Fdarest]

I'm imagining Opie is sitting awkwardly off camera and quietly picking his nose during this.

Not to detract from the creepiness, but Abba wrote Dancing Queen for the queen of Sweden whose birthday party they were playing. They wrote the song ahead of time and surprised everyone with it when she got on the dance floor, if I remember right, kinda cool story

Honestly the riffing between Cumia & Of course ..dark humor..but something on the spot making fun..dark .sometimes dark humor can really help one cope and release pent up 'stuff', and have a hearty laugh somehow...bcz..what else to do cry and want to ?? I'd rather enjoy a laugh. I'm not heartless. Quite the opposite.
