So the Stengels are just fourth and fifth mics on this shitshow? Does Opie even understand how morning-zoo-ish that is?

I just hope we get some closure on Shelbo. It's too bad he's not starting with the show now that it's more lighthearted and silly - he would have done much better without the relentless Fez and Ron beatdowns.

I'm thinking Ron knew he couldn't always be a complete dick to Shelby with Gail in the room, so he just fired /moved him instead.

If people were unaware, some dude has been uploading all the non-opie shows on youtube and it's fantastic.

Anthony, Jimmy, Sam, Erock and no callers made for some fun shows.

Opie came in to work, then Anthony accidentally sent the "the little oval office won't even look at me" text to Opie instead of Jimmy his 17 year old girlfriend. That's when Opie left for 3 days.

It sounds like the best thing ever, if we can have someone post the time index when they find it and all. I've listened to all the Nopie episodes Chris Davis has posted, although not closely for about 50% of them. I'm going to re-listen to 15 to see if I can catch any hints of Opie in it.

The text message didn't happen on air. It was a few minutes before the show started. If you listen to that Greggshells episode recently Opie goes into detail on it.

Yeah if I'm remembering it correctly the episode where Opie walks out was delayed to start, and when it did go live (did it go live or to replay) nothing was said on air about the fight. Nothing was every said on air about the fight until the whole greggshells stuff.

I think they did acknowledge it a few days later (or the next week). Just Opie opening the show with "Anthony and I had a fight and Danny Ross was fired" and never expounded upon it until the Greggshells stuff.

It's basically sucked ever since they did the redesign of it (though it sucked before, too). I've seen the issue you mentioned, as well as endless 'Poor Internet Connection' stops of *fully downloaded* shows.

The entire O&A and TACS subreddits seem to be entirely against the 3 of them at this point. It's fascinating to watch. Anthony just posted a drunken rambling thread trying to tell the disgruntled fans to calm down and the show is working on getting better. http://www.reddit.com/r/TACSdiscussion/comments/36sdtc/a_little_note_to_the_few_sour_grapes/

Yesterday, he and Ari interviewed a topless pornstar in the jacuzzi for the show and word is it couldn't have been more uncomfortable. I might have to look that one up just to see the cringe.

This just screams "Opie, control freak" even more than the previous setup. You bitch about wanting other people to do poo poo and then you get a Howard size console to do your poo poo while everyone else is crammed together. gently caress's sake, Opie. Now I think I understand why they couldn't get the new studio done until they fired Anthony. No way he would have signed off on that layout.

So I guess when they're in the new studio, Bennington will go back to breaking up the show with some lovely comedian every day? It's too bad - the show is GREAT right now.

Is that a thing they were doing lately? Cause it used to be they just broke the show up with some artist I never heard of who is apparently a living legend but also brings the room down to NPR levels of energy

Yeah, the move to Raw Dog put the focus on comedy and comedians specifically, but let's face it - Ron is funnier than pretty much anyone he's going to bring in. And I really don't care about the life story of some comedian making the rounds for their HBO special or whatever. (obviously, Big Jay and Dan Soder don't count)

The road of a shock jock never ends well. I think Howard is the one who is ending with the most dignity, and he basically 'made it big' by going on a second-rate singing contest show. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen someone who does this sort of radio who doesn't just gently caress it up somehow. Maybe Bennington? I mean, at least he does something else besides just the show and keeps himself low-key.

I know you're dangerously close to being a retarded person but come on. Stern "made it big" by being among the most famous radio people to have ever lived a ways back. He then decided, years later, to be a judge on a television show.
