Has anyone else noticed this? The little channel announcement things stuck between the content on the O&A podcast are way louder than the rest of the show -- that image is of the first ten seconds of one channel in the Jim animal hating episode. This makes it impossible for me to listen to. I can't have my ears suddenly blasted out like that. It also looks like there was no real attention paid to keeping things even across segments.

I wonder if this is how their production team mixes their audio all the time and just let the radio broadcast automatically compress the highs.

Do they pass it off to interns? I would assume that it's done in a professional editing environment by paid professionals which is almost unbelievable because that poo poo wouldn't cut it on a free podcast.

edit: I mean the podcast

I find it hard to believe that you can compose these scientific audio waveforms but lack the skills to transfer these findings through to the twittersphere. I smell a conspiracy or a false flag or a fart.

Oh, who's this cool big strong muscle man that didn't do a tweet in the first place? I hired one of my mercenaries to do your dirty work and now you're so cool. How about sending out the tweet yourself? Some of us aren't in positions to be throwing out tweets every which way. We have kids (I don't have kids).

Actually, we should dig deeper with Ant. From what I've gathered, Ant is one of those guys who acts tough but is easily pushed around by anybody he meets. He reacts not by learning and pushing back, but pushing the tough guy image to the point where it breaks: paranoia over being defenseless and displaced anger towards convenient targets to mask self-loathing over not being able to be assertive. Which is really sad as he's really loving funny and deserves a better life than dealing with all of these issues and letting them ruin what could be a very awesome life.

What in the hell would ever make you think this? You don't become a unique and gigantically successful multi-millionaire by being easily pushed around. Nothing at all about Ant's personality, career, or life would lead me to believe he's easily pushed around. His life is not being ruined by anything -- he loving lives in a god drat mansion and does whatever he wants all the time.

You just said that Anthony Cumia deserves a better life.

Cumia is a miserable bastard. If you think he's a happy person deep down, you've got a lot to learn about life.

Sure, in some ways, but I'd hardly say he comes off as truly unhappy and pity from some guy on an internet forum is absurd. He's also never come off at all as easily pushed around, once his radio career really got rolling.

Almost every single time Ant has had the opportunity to confront a person that they've been bashing behind that person's back, he clams up or completely shifts personalities into this kowtowing yes-man. I can't remember him ever actually confronting someone who was a "celebrity" or someone who may, in some context, be considered an equal. He will only poo poo on callers (subhuman) and blacks (subcaller).

That's because he's a professional and doesn't want to constantly alienate guests that come on his show. It's almost like he's very good at his job.

edit: it's also got to put things in perspective when you actually meet and talk to a person you've bashed. It's easy to talk poo poo about someone but when you meet them and they're nice or charming or interesting or whatever then "confronting" them quickly becomes a dumb thing to do.

It really was. Monday's show was forgettable but since then they had Louis Ck + Penn Jillette, Florentine, Quinn, and then Joe Rogan. Aside from Macklemore talk it was been pretty great.

And then next week I think is the super show 2.0. It sucks that Colin won't be there though.

Or Jimmy, I think. They should reschedule.

Did they even say what the "supershow" would entail? Because if it's just having Lady Di, Sandy Kane and Denny in studio, that's not exactly instant radio gold.

Well, you're wrong, and it is, BUT I think that Lady Di is way more fun when Marion is also there.

Plus Jimmy and Colin ought to both be in, of course.

There's really no question that Jimmy is/was a serious addict when you listen to stories of his early life. It's hard to listen to him sometimes because he has zero experience with true slips in his adult life but I don't doubt for a second that he's a hard core alcoholic and would probably not be alive right now if he kept drinking. I don't think dealing with that ever stops.

Seriously? I know a ton of lovely deep south people and nobody would ever walk down the street with a knife hoping that the cops would shoot them. His "pranks" were also completely sociopathic and horrible and not at all normal drunk teenage behavior.

Jimmy obviously can't speak for the 'normal' adult experience of regular addiction/relapse but he's clearly got an addictive personality and is without question an alcoholic. He might run his mouth a little more than he should but I can't fault him.

His behavior made him realize he would be dead if he kept drinking.

I'm sure Jimmy is a freak and has no self control but since he's a person in his mid-fourties, I don't think his experiences as a seventeen year-old makes him out to be the authority on all sorts of addiction everywhere. I'm pretty sure The (B-B-B-)Boys did some hard drugs for a while and Ant is still quite the drunk, but Ex-Addict Jimmy pipes in whenever someone gets busted for sex addiction or gambling or anything.

I'm sure he knows what he's talking about, but his basis for being the arbiter of addiction is getting drunk as a high school kid. Almost 30 years later, it has to be irrelevant to the point that he's on at least equal footing with everyone else.

I don't think any of them did hard drugs but yeah I agree with you. Still, I think that Jimmy certainly has an addictive personality and is an addict, and it's not at all a stretch to say that. He might not be able to speak from experience in the same way that many many many comedians can (let alone internet people), but he isn't faking it. That's all I mean.

He's never had his life hosed up like a 'real' drunk or drug addict would and I don't think anyone could possibly argue that.

I just think he can recognize the behaviors and patterns that addict type people have. I think he 'gets it' to the extent anyone could have when it hasn't ruined his life.

Agreed. Today's was funny, and Vos was on fire, but Jim and Col would've pushed it over the top.

The combination of Jimmy's disgust and Colin's joy is perfect.

I was skeptical of a 'super show' without them, but it was still good. I think Diana isn't worth having in studio unless Marian is there, so that definitely helped.
