That gift really isn't all that bad.

It's a bit of sentimentality from a guy who spends most of his existence rapped up in his own nonsense so that's something.

They watched a drink driving PSA from over here in Ireland on O&A today with a kid getting killed by a car coming through the hedge is his garden. That ad ran all day, every day on TV over here and was followed up with another ad where two teenagers were making out and a car plows into them and pins the girl against a wall between her dead boyfriend and the car that hit them. It ends with her weeping at his funeral with two hosed up legs.

Then there's was one of some young guys mother talking about how vibrant he was and how much he was enjoying his youth. Cut to the guy who's now a vegetable in a wheelchair being spoon fed like a baby after crashing his car when he was driving drunk.

Now they just run one of a emergency room doctor talking about how he goes about telling people that their loved ones died in a car accident and there was nothing that could be done.

Drink driving is a huge thing in this country still and it was weird hearing O&A watching the ad.

Been giving R&F another shot since the Cakehorn thing.

The new version of the show is infinitely more listenable because it contains far less of hipster-dad Rons interviews with nobodies. It's mostly just shooting the poo poo and Hicks is the official second mic at this stage with very little attempt to make it seem otherwise.

One bit that did annoy me yesterday was that woman who sent in the parody of the song from Frozen about how little she cared about the abuse she got on message boards after appearing on the show recently. Yeah honey, you cared so little you went off an recorded a song about how little you cared.

Why has Jeffrey Gurian got anything to do with R&F? He's a loving terrible comedian, sucks on the radio and one time i was listening he started shiteing on about "positive energy" or some other pseudo-science horseshit.

Also, he speaks like a deaf person.

"Pfft, Game of Thrones is for babies. Even the previews make me embarrassed. Also Lord of the Rings is for babies too. And The Hobbit. Fantasy is for babies. Also comic book movies make me angry. Why does Hollywood make that poo poo? It's for babies. Except for Green Hornet, which I love (but only because everyone else hated it). The only movies that are worth watching are the ones that you can only see at one theater on a side street in NY City. Who cares if you live 500 miles away, you should drive that to see this movie."

I love Ron but he's such a hipster douchebag with his opinions it really drives me up the wall.

He so obviously goes out of his way to dislike the popular thing for no good reason and gushes over obscure crap. It makes the interviews on the show awful because they are usually some nobody plugging some awful indie garbage that Ron has decided to champion because nobody has heard of it.

I found it amusing that he keeps playing the clip of Pepper stumbling through his "like, different visions. ..." answer when Ron asked him why he likes indie movies. Ron has said the exact same thing himself numerous times.

The only other problem i have is the fact that he thinks that every band/musician from the 70s are automatically geniuses and everything after is terrible.

Scott Shannon plugging Jimmy for a minute solid on his FM show was weird today, as was Jimmy saying he's going to be on Scotts show tomorrow.

He also talked up the 20 years of O&A.

He seems like a genuinely nice guy who took his ribbing properly unlike Todd who just ignores their existence completely even when they are ruining his shows Facebook and Twitter for days at a time.

A hundred times this. I see 30ish new posts this morning and think something interesting has happened.

Nope, it's the same few people who "only listen to R&F anymore" repeating the same shite about Ant being racist and Jim being a hypocrite once again.

I have no problem with people discussing whatever aspects of the show but this thread has the same people, most of whom don't listen anymore supposedly, making the same points over and over.

I'd also be for the two shows having separate threads even though I listen to both. The fanbases are completely different.

I agree completely. The funny thing is when I look at this thread, most of the O&A listeners feel the same way about Louie being good but overrated, but if you try to bring this up in the TVIV thread you'll get flamed forever.

Yeah, i made the mistake of suggesting that it maybe wasn't that great in TVIV halfway through the second season.

Of course i was called a luddite rear end in a top hat who doesn't understand comedy at all because i didn't find every second of the show to be hilarious genius.

A few million a year and decent enough exposure to do a show that they pretty much just have to show up for.
